    A Murderous Mother: Beyond Dead-End Environmentalism

    The core message of the modern environmental movement seems to be utter contempt for the human species. Think I'm exaggerating?

    Speak Freely - So Long as You Agree With Me

    Is it too much to ask people to listen politely to those with whom they disagree? I hope not.

    Archaeological Evidence: Exodus and the Trial of Jesus

    The Bible has plenty of allies, not the least of which is the discipline of archaeology. Over the years, we've told you about some of the fascinating discoveries that have confirmed the accuracy of both the Old and New Testaments. Recently, archaeologists discovered the suspected remains of the palace where the trial of Jesus Christ may have taken place.

  • Science, God, and the Improbability of Life

    Science, God, and the Improbability of Life

    My recent piece in the Wall Street Journal went viral. Not surprisingly, the piece had plenty of critics. One scientist complained about "religious arguments for the existence of God thinly veiled as scientific arguments" and "allowing a Christian apologist to masquerade as a scientist." This objection essentially amounts to saying that only scientists should be allowed to talk about the religious implications of scientific things. Scientists, it seems, can dabble as metaphysicians, philosophers

    Love Came Down at Christmas

    Most of the music you hear on these channels has little, if anything, to do with Jesus, and, in the off chance it does, it most likely won't be performed in a way that lends itself to the mystery of the Incarnation. Advent is supposed to be a time of reflection and contemplation, and what we listen to should further this goal.

    Different Is Better: The Ancient Church and Its Pagan Neighbors

    For the first seventy or so years of Christianity's existence, the Greco-Roman world paid it relatively little attention. There were persecutions here and there (like the one that claimed the lives of Peter and Paul). But, for the most part, it wasn't until the second century that their pagan neighbors began to focus their attention on just how different Christians were.

  • Millennials and the Bible: Live Out the Faith So They Can Relate

    Millennials and the Bible: Live Out the Faith So They Can Relate

    Want to offend a Millennial? You could just open your Bible and read it in front of him. But if you live out the teachings of Scripture, you just might win him over.

  • Hand Over Your Sermon, or Else

    Hand Over Your Sermon, or Else

    In America, a city government has demanded that religious leaders turn over their sermons or face contempt of court charges, even possibly jail time. Words fail me. This is beyond outrageous. We have been warning for years that our religious liberties are in peril in every aspect of life.

  • Running Toward the Plague: Christians and Ebola

    Running Toward the Plague: Christians and Ebola

    Nearly eighteen centuries after the Plague of Cyprian, Christianity still prompts people to run towards the plague when virtually everyone else is running away. Now as then, this power confounds and confuses Christianity's critics.
