Guest Post by R. M. Strong — Teach Your Children to love Reading

“Mom! Look! It’s your book! Can I read it?” The CreateSpace proof of Flash had come that afternoon, all pretty and shiny and crisp. David, my 6-year-old, grabbed it and flipped through the pages. “Oooh!” he said. “Can I read it!?” I honestly don’t know who was more excited. Now, my young adult My Life … Continue reading Guest Post by R. M. Strong — Teach Your Children to love Reading

Your Eyes Shall Be Opened, And You Shall Be As God, Knowing Good and Evil — Post by Michael J. Findley

Eve was deceived. Adam chose his wife above the Word of God and rebelled. God never intended Adam and Eve to experience evil. He desired they only know Him and enjoy Him forever. God wanted them, as He wants us, to fully and intimately know and experience good without the knowledge and experience of evil. … Continue reading Your Eyes Shall Be Opened, And You Shall Be As God, Knowing Good and Evil — Post by Michael J.

Thinking Things Through — Michael J. Findley

The Internet is blamed for creating shallow thinking, with chatrooms and social networks. However, people were just as shallow in 1974. The opportunity to share information through the Internet can, if the opportunity is used properly, create deeper thinking. In 1974, if you wished to end a discussion, you had to either walk away or … Continue reading Thinking Things Through — Michael J. Findley

Guest Post by Precarious Yates: A Worthy Disciple and new release book “How Shall We Then Love?”

“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.” ~ Jesus (Luke 14:26) This is one of the most difficult sayings of Jesus. In classic hyperbole language, He tells us that the weightiest part of our … Continue reading Guest Post by Precarious Yates: A Worthy Disciple and new release book “How Shall We Then Love?”

A book was recently placed in my hand, being touted as having very powerful concepts that I should read this weekend.  The book is entitled, "The Secret" and is copyrighted 2006.   I have only gotten a few pages into the first chapter, but already it is abundantly clear what this secret is and verses … Continue reading Guest Post: “The Secret”: Do You Know What It Is? by Marilynn Dawson

The High Priests Evangelize

Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, and Stephen Hawking are members of the religion of Secular Humanism. I agreed with Antonin Scalia's opinion in the 1987 case of Edwards v. Aguilar, when he stated that "The United States Supreme Court has held that secular humanism is a religion. … Belief in evolution is a central tenet of … Continue reading The High Priests Evangelize

Basics Of Reality

Words mean things. "This is a green fence," can be parsed, the adjective "green" and the noun "fence" can be made more precise, but the basic meaning of words is clear. I once had a business trip to plant where everyone spoke French. They found the one man who knew a little English. Between my … Continue reading Basics Of Reality

Review of The Mummy Returns

Objectionable elements: 1. Veneration of false gods and magic spells related to the false religion. 2. Promotion of reincarnation as true. 3. Violence, including the mummy sucking the life out of people. 3. Cursing in English and probably in foreign languages. Scantily-clad women, including a lengthy "chick fight" in bikinis. 4. The "Medji," Arabs fighting … Continue reading Review of The Mummy Returns

Verifiable Evidence

Secularists, when asked for evidence to support their position, reply with comments that show they neither read the article in question, nor do they understand the issues being discussed. Instead they reply with mockery, insults and ridicule. Their comments are usually off-topic.

Book Review: The Narrow Gate: How to Thrive During the Great Falling Away by David Bergsland

David Bergsland neither contacted me nor does he know me. In order to be honest, he reviewed our book Antidisestablishmentarianism, a book as long as 3 or 4 doctoral dissertations. For that I feel a great moral obligation to review not just one, but several of David Bergsland's book. This influence, though considerable, is the … Continue reading Book Review: The Narrow Gate: How to Thrive During the Great Falling Away by David Bergsland

Homeschool Standardized Results

Secularists have questioned how well homeschooled students do on the life science sections of standardized tests, since a belief in evolution is incorporated into the tests. Home-schooled students average in the eighty-sixth percentile, national average K-12, for life sciences. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/aug/30/home-schooling-outstanding-results-national-tests/ "The study included almost 12,000 home-school students from all 50 states who took three well-known … Continue reading Homeschool Standardized Results

Ancient Evidence for Catastrophes: Part One

Though we almost never hear about them, ancient writers testify that men witnessed some of these catastrophes. Of course we are all familiar with the eruption of Mt.
