    The problem of moral evil: Calvinism vs. Molinism

    I finally got a chance to watch the Calvinism vs. Molinism debate between Dr. James White and Dr. William Lane Craig where each tackled the problem of moral evil from their theological position. Moderated by Justin Brierley during his Unbelievable broadcast, the discussion was a good opportunity to hear points of view straight from the horse’s mouth on a difficult subject.

  • Why America is not a Christian nation

    Why America is not a Christian nation

    What I am saying is that, if you define a “Christian nation” as one governed solely by New Testament principles, then there has never been a Christian nation.

  • Do you have a blind heart?

    Do you have a blind heart?

    Shriver’s attempt at feigning unfamiliarity with the truth in the Rittenhouse case reminds me of a quote from Aldous Huxley: “Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don't know because we don't want to know. It is our will that decides how and upon what subjects we shall use our intelligence.”

    The No. 1 worldview today is Woody Allen’s

    When filmmaker Woody Allen was publicly exposed in 1992 as having an affair with the adopted daughter of his partner Mia Farrow (Soon-Yi Previn, 34 years his junior), his defense was simply, “The heart wants what it wants.”  

  • Christmas in Revelation

    Christmas in Revelation

    At the end of “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” Charlie Brown cries out in desperation, “Isn’t there anyone who can tell me what Christmas is all about?” Can you imagine what the audience response would have been if, instead of the passage in Luke 2, Charles Schultz had chosen the following text for Linus to present:

  • Dying to look good

    Dying to look good

    Several years ago, a Christian bodybuilder friend of mine who was around my age suddenly died. I could tell by looking at him that he was on some sort of gear and learned shortly thereafter that the cause of his death was heart-related.

  • Welcome to the jungle

    Welcome to the jungle

    Currently, many wear the badge of “lawbreaker” with honor and have no concern of being thought of as dishonorable because of their criminal acts. Couple that with the disastrous policies pushed by leftist lawmakers that remove all fear from being caught as a wrongdoer and you have no reason for secular people to behave in a virtuous manner.

    Careful, your evil is showing

    So why did he do it? Nathanson writes, “Simple arithmetic: at $300.00 times 1.55 million abortions means an industry generating $500,000,000 annually, of which most goes into the pocket of the physician doing the abortion.”

  • Do you have a God-given right to defend yourself?

    Do you have a God-given right to defend yourself?

    The Rittenhouse trial aside, a question that comes up in Christian circles with respect to self-defense is, do we have a God-given right to protect ourselves and others from harm? Let’s look at what the Bible says.

  • Why 'Let’s go Brandon' has no place in a Christian’s life

    Why 'Let’s go Brandon' has no place in a Christian’s life

    Don’t get me wrong; I’m certainly no fan of our current President’s actions. But that said, let me explain why I think “Let’s go Brandon” has no place in our Christian life.  

  • Fearing Christ’s return as a Christian

    Fearing Christ’s return as a Christian

    My jaw dropped even further when I became educated to the fact that just 20 percent of the Old Testament prophets spoke about His first coming, but 80 percent speak to His second coming. Moreover, there are 1,500 passages in the Old Testament that refer to Christ’s second coming, and one out of every 25 verses in the New Testament refer to Jesus’ return.

  • Understanding the doctrine of demons

    Understanding the doctrine of demons

    If you’ve ever wondered where the red, horned, pitchfork-wielding devil-with-a-pointed-tail concept originated, it came from the medieval church in the Middle Ages. Although they sought to wound Satan’s pride by depicting him in a ludicrous way, something tells me the devil inspired it in an act of brilliant misdirection.

    Invisible art and an invisible God

    Garau named his immaterial sculpture lo sono, which translates to “I am”, explaining: “After all, don’t we shape a God we’ve never seen?”

  • Ghosts, Ouija boards, and the line you don’t cross

    Ghosts, Ouija boards, and the line you don’t cross

    If you believe in ghosts, I hate to burst your bubble, but they don’t exist. And by ghost, I’m using the traditional definition of a person who has died and is manifesting themselves in some way to the living, their spirit being trapped between this life and the next.  No, there are no such things as ghosts. But there is something much worse that is real.

    Netflix’s 'Midnight Mass' and the need for discernment

    The lame walk, residents are cured of their ailments including dementia, and a spiritual revival breaks out on the island. But strange and dark incidents also occur – animals are found dead, people start disappearing, and the new priest suddenly has to start holding mass at night.

  • A letter from Hell

    A letter from Hell

    A Letter from Hell! is a very short video that fictionalizes an exchange between a young guy named Josh who resides in hell and his friend Zach who is still alive on earth. Josh’s letter to Zach decries his friend’s neglect where telling him about Jesus is concerned. Josh’s agony and fury at his friend are summed up at the end where he writes, “P.S. Wish you were here.”

    Simply put, people lie when they find the truth threatening.

    Yes, there is a Holy Spirit

    If you’re one of them, or confused about the Holy Spirit in general, then please keep reading and consider the biblical evidence that speaks to who the third person of the Trinity is.

    When God says stop praying

    And yet, surprising as it may be to hear, there are a number of places in Scripture where God says to stop praying. Given the verses above, what gives?

    When being pro-life equates to a pink slip

    John Gibson, the CEO of gamemaker Tripwire Interactive, had the audacity to tweet his support for Texas’ new abortion law and, because in doing so he publicly outed himself as pro-life, was immediately bullied by the leftist mob out of his job.
