If Parents only Knew What Universities Promote

Why do 75% of young Christians leave the church in college?  Because universities promote left-wing, anti-Christian barbarism like this (Warning: Graphic!). See also this column by Mike Adams exposing the pro-homosexual agenda at NC State and its new tax-dollar funded Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) Center. ?

Over 1500 Attend "I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" at NC State

The CrossExamined “I Don’t have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist” tour visited NC State’s Reynold’s Coliseum on Thursday night February 7.  Over 1500 students attended the seminar which was hosted by Campus Crusade of NC State (http://clubs.ncsu.edu/crusade/).  My thanks to Mike Mehaffie and his CC team for their tremendous work in making the event a success.   The attendance […]

New Stem Cell Discovery Not Pro-Abortion Enough

When President Bush announced in the State of the Union address his support for research on embryonic stem cells that are created without destroying life (by means of a new discovery), Republicans leapt to their feet and applauded.  Most Democrats sat with their hands folded.  Why? Democrats have been criticizing President Bush for not using federal funds on stem cell research.  […]

An Apologetic against Christian Apologetics?

Last week I was taking questions during an “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist” seminar on the campus of Olivet Nazarene University.  One question challenged the legitimacy of Christian Apologetics.  It was half question, half critique and it went something like, “Why are you trying to prove Christianity?  We just need to love one another!”   […]

Temple seal found in Jerusalem

Here is another achaeological discovery just made in Jerusalem that affirms the reliability of the Bible.  Here is a quote from the archaeologist: “The seal of the Temech family gives us a direct connection between archeology and the biblical sources and serves as actual evidence of a family mentioned in the Bible,” she said. “One cannot help […]

Free Speech or Hate-Crime Laws: Can’t Have Both

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 […]

Abortion, the Primaries, and the One Issue Voter

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 […]

The Case for the Real Jesus

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.

The Bible Changed? What about the Ending of Mark?

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 […]
