Winning Someone and Winning Over Someone
I was sitting in the doctor’s office today for an appointment for my dad. I go with him to all his appointments, which are many. Usually it is also accompanied by medical decisions, such as tweaking a few of his medications, including his insulin intake. I pulled up today’s list of articles at Realclearpolitics while waiting, and […]
The Lie or Deceit of the Warfare or Conflict Model Between Science and Faith
True science proceeds from faith. The historical record shows that modern science arose from faith in God. Science and faith harmonize. They don’t conflict. Like the tearing down of statues in the United States, the elimination of genders unto gender fluidity, and the revisionism of patriarchy as social construct, secular materialists banish faith from the […]
The Evidence of Things Not Seen
In the King James Version, Hebrews 11:1 calls “faith,” “the evidence of things not seen.” How is faith itself evidence? Does the English word “evidence” in the King James Version mean the same thing as what we think it means today? It is close, but I believe there is evidence (pun intended) to say that […]
Worth Your Salt
When taking the opportunity to portray true Christian identity, Jesus used salt and light in Matthew 5:13-16. Through these two metaphors, He painted a picture of the expected nature of a genuine believer. In so doing, Jesus adhered to His original representation of salvation in the beatitudes (verses 3-12) and invoked the association with the […]
Romans 5:1 As a Consideration for Taking a Scriptural Position on the Preservation of Scripture
The Apostle Peter in 2 Peter 1 shows that attack on the authority of scripture is a major explanation or reason for apostasy. The authority of scripture proceeds from the supernatural nature of the Bible. It is inspired by God and then preserved by God. When someone attacks scripture, the first wave is that it […]
John Evincing Jesus as the Christ
The gospel of John is good going word by word and verse by verse in great detail, doing a three year series. I’ve done that twice, the second time, twice as slow as the first. John is also very good reading it straight through as if it were a gospel tract. This can be a […]
Power Comes from Somewhere
When you turn on your lights or your appliance and open your refrigerator and see it working, you know that power comes from somewhere. It didn’t just happen. Your heart is beating, the power for that comes from somewhere. You look up and see a burning sun. The power for that sun comes from somewhere. […]
My Conversations with Numerous Exvangelicals
Exvangelical sounds like either a misspelling or a bit too much cleverness, I would agree, but for the sake of this post, I’m sticking with a word of which I’m reading its contemporary usage. Of all the words in the title, it gets your attention because it doesn’t sound like a word. Perhaps I’ll help […]
Memorial Day and Memorials, Their Scriptural Importance
By dictionary definition, a memorial is something established to remind people of a person or event. The last Monday of May is Memorial Day in the United States, a federal holiday for honoring and mourning those who have died in the performance of their military duties while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The […]
If “Drinking Any Amount of Alcohol Causes Damage to the Brain,” Is It Permissible for True Believers to Drink Alcohol?
It doesn’t make sense for anyone to drink something that causes damage to the brain. A new study says that drinking any amount of alcohol, even one drink, causes damage to the brain. Both CNN and Fox News reported this. It was an Oxford University study using 25,378 participants. Knowing what alcohol is and how it affects the body, this […]
