  • Does Christianity Stand on Faith or Evidence?

    I had an interesting e-mail exchange with an agnostic this week. He wrote: "If there were good evidence to corroborate the Bible, would you need faith? Correct me if I am mistaken, but faith lies at the core of the Christian worldview, not reliance on evidence."

  • The Church of Joseph Smith of Latter-day Saints

    What an incredible opportunity we as evangelical Christians have been given at this very time in the history of our nation! The Lord has allowed the Mormon religion to come under the national spotlight. This allows us to spend a few weeks or a few months helping people, including Mormons, to understand the true nature of the religion of Joseph Smith as compared to the true nature of the Gospel. It is a rare opportunity that must not be missed!

  • How Anger Fuels Atheistic Arrogance

    The majority of people in the world believe there is a God. Many of them don’t yet know Him personally through faith in Jesus, but they nevertheless accept the fact that He exists. Atheists, on the other hand, act like their subjective opinion on the matter carries the weight of a Papal Edict. They believe their enlightened wisdom is infallible. In that sense, atheists collectively represent “the papacy" for unbelievers. In their estimation, they are at the highest level among non-Christians.

  • Why Romney Makes the Religious Left Nervous

    Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine being a religious liberal. You view the Bible primarily as a fable. You check the "Christian" box when asked your religion, but you don't associate with anyone who takes the Bible literally. You hope your followers vote against the Republican candidate. And then here comes Mitt Romney as the one chosen to oppose the "chosen one."

  • Christopher Hitchens Needs to See Empirical Evidence

    Living in the Omaha community, I was intrigued by a comment which Christopher Hitchens made when accepting a "freethinker" award last weekend in Texas. In explaining his many travels he said, "I lack only the Dakotas and Nebraska, though I may not get there unless someone comes up with some ethanol-based cancer treatment in Omaha."

  • Mitt Romney's Predicament With 'The Book of Mormon'

    Most Americans, including many evangelical Christians, will not hold Mitt Romney's religion against him when they cast their vote for President next year. Americans as a whole want a competent individual in the White House whether that person believes in historic Christianity or not. For various reasons, Mitt Romney's religious views have taken a rather prominent stage recently in a similar way to what happened to Barack Obama four years ago.

  • The 'iSoul' Was God's Greatest Invention

    The 'iSoul' Was God's Greatest Invention

    Man in his creativity produced the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad. God in His creativity produced the "iSoul." "The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." (Genesis 2:7) God created man with an immortal soul, or what I am calling an "iSoul" for the purpose of this article. As C.S. Lewis said, "You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body."

  • Excogitating Bill O'Reilly's Sermon to Richard Dawkins

    If you have ever watched his show, you know that Bill O'Reilly ends his program with a "Word of the Day" in order to teach his viewers new vocabulary. With that in mind, I decided to use "excogitating" in the title of this article. It means to "think about seriously in order to comprehend fully." Bill really is a "stand-up guy" and is often thinking seriously about current issues and events.

  • When an Apple Falls Far from the Tree

    The sad death of Apple CEO Steve Jobs is yet another example of an apple falling far from the tree. It never feels natural for us to say "goodbye" to a loved one who has died. God didn't create us to die. He created us to live forever. Doesn't "forever" feel right to you and like the way it should be? That's because God has "set eternity in the hearts of men." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

  • Steve Jobs Knew How to 'Think Different'

    It was more than just an advertising slogan created for Apple Computer in 1997. It was the way Steve Jobs lived his entire life, including the way he approached technology. "Think Different" was at the foundation of everything Steve touched. It also happens to be a phrase that describes what Jesus taught people to do while He was on earth.
