It seems like scientists always like to poke their noses into the Bible to explain how God “really” did things. Every now and then, we’ll get some sort of special on PBS “explaining” how God did the Ten Plagues through Moses, or we’ll find a documentary giving us the “inside scoop” on Creation. I wonder […]

These days it’s hard to find a good table on Craigslist. Everyone wants too much money. But if you have an eye and a knack with paint and wax (and a good table saw and miter saw, etc), you can turn an ugly table into a neat table. Here’s the latest project: Click […] So, Jeremiah, do not pray for these people. Do not cry out to Me or petition me on their behalf. Do not plead with Me to save them. For I will not listen to them when they call out to Me for help when disaster strikes them. – Jeremiah 11:14 I’m working my […] 
These days, it seems that every other church is trying to re-invent “dating” so as to align themselves with Biblical models for relationships. But the advice you get from these different churches varies far and wide. Will the real Biblical Model please stand up?? Rachel and Jacob by William Dyce I’m happy to […] Regardless of your view on a particular issue, it’s always possible to find someone who holds a view that is opposite yours. And sometimes you can even find a verse or two that is opposite your opinion. As the old saying goes, to every PhD, there’s an equal and opposite PhD. So… How many verses […] 
In discussing abortion and infant death, we invariably come around to asking “What’s going on in the womb?” and “Do babies go to heaven?” While science cannot answer the second question, it can give us some information about the first. Science tells us when the brain is formed, when the heart starts beating, what the […] Seems to me that we’re devolving in our ability to appreciate meaningful dialogue. I think Facebook and Twitter certainly contributes to this. Instead of meaningful, thoughtful dialogue, we place a premium on tweets and memes. Let it never be said that I’m one who knows not where the wind blows! Just in time for All […] It has been properly noted that there are a number of passages in the Bible that sound like you can lose your salvation. Let us count the ways: Live in sin – Matt 6:15; Eph 5:3-5 Be arrogant/overconfident in your salvation – Rom 11:18-22 Revert back to Mosaic Law – Gal 5:2-4 Deny/forsake Christ – […] Here’s a timeline of the main Covenants in the Bible. I think it helps to drive home the fact that the Mosaic Covenant ended at Christ and that there are many other Covenants that are still in effect – some of which predate the Mosaic Covenant by thousands of years. Bible Timeline – Covenants (PDF, […] While some people will insist that God wants everyone to be rich and wealthy and enjoy their best life now, others will insist that the Bible consistently displays a negative opinion of rich people. The conversation between Jesus and the Rich Young Ruler would be offered as a prime example of this disdain. While I […] |
