Is Faith in God Rational?
There exists a huge divide and disconnect inside of the greater Christian community today. Unfortunately, the philosophy of the world has begun to creep its way inside of the church over the last few centuries, leading many pastors and other church leaders to reject...
Mike Pence and Bill O’Reilly: The Difference of Carelessness in Positions of Influence
In recent days, Mike Pence and Bill O'Reilly--two figureheads in evangelicalism--have been given the limelight. Each, of course, for a completely different reason. In many ways, these individuals are completely unrelated, but in one very important way, there is a...
Does the Age of the Earth Matter, or is it a Secondary Doctrine?
All of my life, I have been in Independent Baptist Churches, Amen! One of the things we have always taken very seriously and very literally is the Genesis creation account. Growing up, I really didn't believe this to be a point of contention at all! Sure, I was just...
Did Jesus ever Claim to be God?
A huge point of contention among "offshoots" of classical Christian doctrine is whether or not Jesus is actually God. For instance, Mormons assert that Jesus was the Son of God and possessed the nature of "a God," but they also believe this about us. Foundational to...

On January 20th, 2017, conservative evangelicals experienced a huge win in the White House. There were many full on board the "Trump Train," and many simply relieved that his opponent was not headed for the Oval. Since that time, many things have happened. Some...
Three Steps You Can Take to Contend for the Faith Boldly but Graciously
The rise of social media and what we in the technology industry call "Web 2.0" has had many side effects on our culture. Not the least of these has been the way that even Christian brothers and sisters have been treating one another. Nothing will discredit a...
The Necessity of Biblical Apologetics
In a recent post, we looked at the validity of the discipline of apologetics from the perspective of the Bible. In essence, we asked and answered the question, "is apologetics biblical?" I believe it is, but there is also a second fundamental question that must be...
The Case for Biblical Apologetics
Biblical Apologetics is a branch of theology that deals with defending--or "answering"--the Christian faith. But in the context of the church, apologetics has not been widely accepted yet. It was for that reason that I felt sort of strange when I first began to feel...
