GOT HOPE? Christianity Delivers
My Jewish coworker recommended that I listen to a video entitled "Playing God" by Rabbi Lorge. You can access the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhX6D8barAk&t=0s. Rabbi Lorge's views (and other Jews' views that I've since discovered) seem to stand in stark contrast to Christian views on Genesis 3, original sin, God's intentions, our immortality, and whether …

When we identify the following signs in societies, we have evidence that secular values have crept into our Christian moral foundations. 1. Devalue humans by promoting women’s choice to electively abort their innocent unborn children. Only 1 percent of abortions are due to rape or incest, so let's focus on the other 99 percent. This …
The four Gospels detail the women’s discovery of Jesus’ empty tomb in slightly different ways, which to some are difficult to reconcile. The intention of this blog is to offer one possible reconciliation. There may be more. Mark “When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that …

What is love? How much love do we have for our fellow humans? Consider the soldier in a battle who jumps in front of his fellow soldier to block him from a bullet. Consider the mother during a plane crash who covers and hovers over her sweet infant to give her child a better chance …
The Book of Job is often a source of confusion for some people who believe that Job was treated wrongly by God. Yet when one carefully reads the Book of Job through the lens of Jesus’ words and messages, the clarity of the message breaks through. The intention of this blog is to share my …
“You find out more about God from the Moral Law than from the universe in general just as you find out more about a man by listening to his conversation than by looking at a house he has built. Now, from this second bit of evidence we conclude that the Being behind the universe is …
Peter Boghossian, who’s an outspoken atheist, popularized his method of street epistemology in 2013 to shake up the views of theists. His followers (such as Anthony Magnabosco) often film themselves walking around college campuses with webcams strapped to themselves. When they encounter “unsuspecting” “interlocutors,” they follow seven steps. The intention of this article is to …

Below I have presented eight questions that I do not believe that atheists will be able to plausibly answer. 1. What explains our objective morality? If we have no God, then we have no objective and transcendent moral values and duties. Yet we do have objective moral standards and duties to do what’s right. Therefore, …

According to the 2017 Pew Research Center poll of 4,700 American adults, 80 percent indicated they believe in God, while 56 percent of those believe in the God of the Christian Bible. 19 percent indicated they didn’t believe in God, yet 9 percent of those do believe in some higher power or a spiritual force. …

Some may be cheering as they witness the rising wave of Euro-secularization, where many in western societies have become increasingly atheistic, post-material, and secular. Ron Inglehart of the University of Michigan’s World Values Surveys has distinguished these “secular/rational and self-expressive” countries from the “traditional/religious and survival” countries in other poorer parts of the world (Inglehart, …
