This is a much-needed topic with little published research. I not only read, but also reread this book several times. I wanted to give this book the highest praise possible. It is both well-written and well-documented and I can recommend it without reservations. The ebook format has some problems, though I was able to get … Continue reading Book review of The Genius of Ancient Man — general editor Don Landis

"So what evidence would you accept to prove that the Earth is millions of years old?" an atheist asked me on Christmas day. It is not possible to have a reasoned, intelligent discussion with someone whose opinions (beliefs) are not based on evidence and facts. The question changes facts and evidence into a matter of … Continue reading AntiScience
Trusting God When Bad Things Happen Guest post by Shelley Hitz My heart continues to be heavy for all those grieving today across our country.

Loneliness is defined by my friend Wikipedia as a complex and usually unpleasant feeling in which a person feels a strong sense of emptiness and solitude. The causes of loneliness are varied, but it can be affected by social, mental, emotional, and spiritual factors. See that the definition says that it’s very unpleasant to feel … Continue reading Guest Post by Naty Matos: Loneliness Doesn’t Mean You Are Alone!
Writing Real Good by Deborah Heal Christian fiction writers sometimes think their stories are less important than the sermons, essays, and treatises of the "serious" non-fiction writer. But imaginative writing has tremendous power to teach deep truths. For example, many, many people have come to know God through C. S. Lewis' Narnia stories. Storytelling is even an effective tool for … Continue reading Guest Post by Deborah Heal — The Power of a Story
A fellow believer said in effect that Christianity does not really allow for political activism. Others have said we should agree to disagree when it comes to beliefs about the nature of the church. We can disagree whether there should be pews, or instruments, or five hour services, or only professional singers. But the church … Continue reading What Is the Church?
Voters need to exercise Christian principles and vote for candidates who demonstrate Christian principles. Notice that I use the term Christian principles, not Christianity, so this doesn't mean to base support on whether the candidate claims to be Christian. For instance, Jimmy Carter claims to be a Christian, but he did not govern according to … Continue reading What Is an American Christian’s Political Responsibility?

It is based on at least three characteristics .... The first is to establish that the evidence is reliable.

I cannot begin to count the number of times someone has pointed me to the book of Acts and the early Church as support for "Christian Communism." "And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need." … Continue reading Can Communism Be Christian?
Charles Augustus Briggs Am I a Liberal? John MacArthur, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Michelle Malkin, Ronald Reagan and thousands of others have demonstrated over and over again that liberalism is evil. Their educational efforts are so successful that liberalism has tried a new method of deceiving people. Use the same doctrines, teach the same dogma, … Continue reading Am I a Liberal?
We are to speak the truth in love. At the same time, Jesus began his ministry by knotting together a whip of cords and driving animals out of the temple (John 2). He did the same thing the week before He was crucified. Though the Bible does not say this, I believe that Jesus probably … Continue reading Love Does Not Rejoice in Iniquity
Many people have told me the book of Genesis is an allegory. I am not "educated enough" to understand it's "higher meaning," its true "moral purpose."Luke 16 records Lazarus and "a certain rich man" dying. In the torments of hell, the rich man was able to speak to Abraham. He asked Abraham to send someone … Continue reading “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Matthew 5:17,18 A jot … Continue reading Is Genesis “Allegorical?”
To anyone who remotely believes in the inspiration of the Bible, who wrote Job is an either/or question. Yes, there were probably multiple authors over a period of time. But the scenes in heaven were either divinely revealed, or they were made up, invented, manufactured. There is no middle ground on this issue. Words mean … Continue reading Job Is a “Litmus Test” for Liberalism.
The book of the Apocalypse (unveiling) is a "Revelation" or vision ("I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day"). A vision occurs when someone is awake, while a dream occurs while someone is asleep. Either way, the Spirit of the Lord supernaturally enables someone to remember the details of the vision or dream long … Continue reading Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth: Interpreting The Book of Revelation
Certain types of relativity can be traced to the ancient Greeks, but an adequate study really begins with the classical or mechanical relativity of Sir Isaac Newton. He used the concept of inertia (an object at rest remains at rest or an object in motion remains in motion until an outside force acts upon it) … Continue reading The Big Bang or the Big Crunch?
