In The Beginning

So just a bit more on this Genesis/Creation Story sermon series that my pastor has been going through. I just want to share what, for me, is a new perspective on the first chapter of a book that’s very important to me.
He’s preaching what I believe is called the Framework interpretation. It doesn’t [...]

Just Call Me Thomas

It’s probably not a surprise to you that know me, but if I believed in patron saints as such Thomas would be mine. You know Thomas, the guy that wrongly got saddled with the descriptive “Doubting”. The “D” word properly given him is “Didymus”, which means twin. I say wrongly because, though [...]

Demonize-Nation

There seems to be a trend on the rise in America. If you don’t like something or you disagree with it then you paint it as evil. I know that this is certainly nothing new. It just strikes me as being more pervasive now than at any other time in my life.

Evangelistic Kung Fu

I shared Penn Jillette’s video about the guy that gave him a Bible here and we talked about it in a podcast here, in case you missed it.

For some reason the Naturalists’ notion that we’re all just a bunch of highly evolved ape-like creatures and no different than any other member of our Kingdom strikes those of us in religious circles as offensive. Oh, well I mean I understand [...]

Freedom of Choice

Yeah, not that kind of choice.
I read a news story this morning that is sure to get many parents I know into a major uproar (perhaps rightfuly so). A New Hampshire court ruled that a girl “would best be served by exposure to public school setting in which she would be challenged to solve [...]

Creation Stories

On Friday I posed an informal twitter poll, “as a Christian are you a) Young Earth Creationist b) Old Earth Creationist or c) Other (details?)”. As usual I got an interesting crop of answers to this. Before we get to the details though, a little clarification of what may be considered inside baseball [...]
