"Twist! Look out!" I spun and swung wildly as the crack of a Colt revolver split the air. Sluefoot Sue had both her firearms out and was shooting at something below me. To my astonishment tentacles rose out of the Thames and wrapped themselves around the Catfish. Each time one of Sue's bullets struck them … Continue reading A tidbit from The ‘Prentices, the Puppets, and the Pirates
Elk Jerky for the Soul: It's tough, but you need it!
Here's a very brief comparison/contrast of Balaam versus Jonah. You let me know what you decide, because frankly, I don't know what to think about these two guys, except for a couple of observations I'll make after my list. Balaam: Summoned by kings with promises of reward. Jonah: Summoned by God with no promise of … Continue reading Balaam vs Jonah — No Comparison — Or Is There?
But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. Hebrews 5:14 We are all involved in a Spiritual warfare that is not going away just because we do not like it. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, … Continue reading Maturity
Assuming something to be true then using that assumption as a "proof" is the essence of circular reasoning. The issue is not the nature of the evidence, but the honesty of the observer. For example all dating systems assume deep time to be true. One very clear example is dendrochronology or tree ring dating. Bristlecone … Continue reading Circular Reasoning
People have always loved the approval of others. But to give up part of the truth of God's Word just to win that approval will bring on the judgment of God. Claiming the book of Genesis, at least the first eleven chapters, to be "allegorical" or "mythical" will win the approval of many. But if … Continue reading The Need to Understand Original Sin — post by Michael J. Findley
Lot's story begins before Genesis 19, when he separated from Abraham and chose his land near Sodom. But let's not call him selfish, or wicked, or anything else bad, for that choice, because the Bible calls him righteous. (2 Peter 2:7) He invited in the angels God sent, tried to protect them, and to act … Continue reading The Righteous Soul and the Harlot’s Heart — post by by Mary C. Findley

“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.

Now, my young adult My Life … Continue reading Guest Post by R. M. Strong — Teach Your Children to love Reading
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.

Occasionally I encounter a secularist position so bizarre that I have never encountered it before. While the position I am describing below might be common among journalists, I certainly have never personally encountered someone who believed it before. He wrote a commentary on Numbers 31:16-18 "Behold, these caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel … Continue reading Marriage Is Not Rape — Post by 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

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
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
Objectionable elements: 1. Veneration of false gods and magic spells related to the false religion. 2. Promotion of reincarnation as true. 3.

The "Medji," Arabs fighting … Continue reading Review of The Mummy Returns

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. They constantly ask, "What evidence would you accept?" like verifiable evidence is a … Continue reading Verifiable Evidence
