Movie Review – What is a Woman?

Moloch: Bruised but not Defeated
By Josh Klein For decades our country has been mired by a decision that enshrined the sacrifice of human babies to the god of Moloch (also known as Molech). You might know this practice by its current moniker, abortion, but the practice is essentially the same....
The Need for Apologetics in the Local Church
By Maggie Hendrick Apologetics, when done with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15), is beneficial in evangelism as we see the Holy Spirit use it time and time again in the Scriptures through Paul’s “reasoning” and “persuading” to draw souls to the Lord. However, in...

3 Reasons Why Jesus Is The Only Way

Confronting Homosexuality in a Culture of Identity (Part 4)
By Josh Klein Lil Nas X Back to where we started. What if I told you that the issue with Lil Nas X was not his being gay, but with how he perceived the Church’s response to his being gay? He has somehow come away with the understanding that he should hate himself...
Confronting Homosexuality in a Culture of Identity (Part 3)

Matthew: Jesus’ Genealogy and Biblical Inerrancy

The Separation of Church and State Deception
By Josh Klein We’ve been duped. I cannot think of another way to put it. The Christian right has been duped. Deceived by what? You may ask. The separation of Church and State. What if I told you that the phrase “separation of Church and State” was found...
Book Review: How Reason Can Lead To God by Joshua Rasmussen

God & Evil: A Rapid-Fire Response

“The Ring of Truth”
By Tim Stratton What religion or worldview possesses the “Ring of Truth?” It is definitely not Islam or atheism! To be sure, this is not a deductive argument like the Kalam, Freethinking, or Ontological Arguments. I am simply encouraging readers to pay attention to...
Christians: Persons of Faith or Knowledge?
