Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council points out in his January 9 email that so-called “hate-crime” laws are having a chilling effect on free speech in Canada (BTW, aren’t all crimes “hate” crimes?). Mark Steyn is under attack for writing some unflattering things about Islam. Notice, the issue isn’t whether Mark’s factually correct about what he wrote, but […]
As the presidential campaign heats up (Obama? Clinton? Guiliani? Edwards? McCain? Romney? Huckabee? Thompson?), the media is likely to show disdain for what they call “one-issue voters.” The disdain will be for those who are pro-life and will not settle for a candidate who is anything but (of course, if your one issue is to keep […]
I think The Case for the Real Jesus is Lee Strobel’s best book so far, and that’s saying a lot. Josh McDowell claims, “Whatever Lee Strobel writes, God reads!” 🙂 David Limbaugh has posted a review of Lee’s book that challenges skeptics to take a fair look at the evidence.
Why do most scholars think the last twelve verses of the Gospel of Mark (Mk. 16:9-20) were not written by Mark? Lee Strobel calls on manuscript expert Dr. Daniel Wallace to answer here. Wallace, who thinks the last 12 verses were added later, has an interesting insight: One can easily see why scribes would want to add […]
Bill Hybels , the unofficial father of the seeker movement in the United States, recently admitted that seeker churches have done a very poor job of making disciples. This is damning because making disciples is what Jesus commanded us to do! Why has the seeker movement failed in the church’s central purpose? I attended a seeker church this past weekend. As I […]
Lee Strobel has put up several short video clips of some of my presentations on his website. Click here for a clip on Why Don’t People Believe in Miracles? By the way, LeeStrobel.com has hundreds of other short videos related to apologetics. I highly recommend you check it out.
Another in a long list of discoveries that affirm the historicity of the Bible: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8T7ORS00&show_article=1. Archaeology so confirms the Bible, that it’s been said that “every time a spade goes in the ground an atheist gets converted.” If atheism were just a matter of the mind and not the will, that would be true. (BTW, […]
If we could find a way to create embryotic stem cell lines without destroying human embryos, advocates of the old ESCR method would immediately embrace such new technology and the ethical debate would end, right? One would think so– unless careers, money, and justification for abortion are connected to the old method. Well, that’s exactly what some are […]
The default position among NT scholarship is that most of the NT documents were written after 70 A.D. I think the exact opposite is true– most, if not all, of the NT documents were written BEFORE 70 A.D. Here’s why http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BhjJQciq-A.
Atheist Christopher Hitchens is morally outraged with the Christian belief that God created us and put us under Him without our consent. (This is typical of atheists– they have moral objections to God while they have no objective grounds by which to make moral objections unless God exists.) But as John Piper points out, even if God does not exist, we are […]
