Many Christians cringe in horror when they hear the word theology. They think of complex and boring doctrines that just don’t matter to the average Christian. After all, they think, I have the Bible and that’s all I need. But what is theology? Theology, in its simplest meaning, is a rational discourse about God. Theology [...]

I attend a Referral Network group every Tuesday morning and this morning a local Chiropractor gave a short presentation on her business. This wonderful lady (who is a great Chiropractor by the way!!) made a few comments which amused me – in a good way. When talking about the human body she kept referring to “it’s design”. In speaking about [...]

Let’s define free will first. I define free will as the human ability to make contrary choices or decide between multiple options. Free will is the power of self-determination. It gives human beings the power to make real moral decisions. Some Christians deny that humans have free will because they say it diminishes God’s sovereignty. If humans [...]

In my conversations with atheists and agnostics some have made the statement ”the only way we can know if something is true or not is through empirical testing”. Many then follow by saying this ”disproves” the knowledge of the existence of God… saying “since we can’t empirically test the existence of God we cannot know for sure He exists”. While this line [...]

We had The Lord’s Supper this past Sunday. For the Mormons reading this, the Lord’s Supper is essentially the same as partaking of “The Sacrament”. It was a wonderful experience! We started the service by Baptizing several new members/believers and the Spirit of Christ filled the chapel the entire evening. Some close friends and their children were [...]

Young earth creation organizations have written many books and published numerous articles over the years presenting scientific evidence to prove that the earth is young (6,000 – 10,000 years old). Several years ago, when I read these books and articles, I found many of them to be convincing. But, I wanted to hear both sides so [...]

All one needs to do is study Peter Singer, the eminent ethics professor at Princeton University. He is one of the few who have actually taken atheism to some of its uncomfortable conclusions (I think Nietzsche also did this in the 19th century). Check out this post over at GeoChristian to find out what Singer believes. [...]

OK, Vermont, what gives? Last place? I don’t recall the characters on Newhart being anti-religious… Check out this poll for some interesting data.

No, even though I often hear Christians talk as if it does. Many believe that if you interpret the “days” in Genesis to be long periods of time and you accept the current scientific consensus that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, then you are “siding” with evolution. The ironic thing is that [...]
