The Seeker Church: Is Anyone Making Disciples?

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 […]

Why Don’t People Believe in Miracles?

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.

Nehemiah’s Wall Found

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, […]

Suppressing the Truth on Stem Cells

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 New Testament was Written Early

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.

Atheists Have No Way Out: Christians Do

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 […]

George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation

After reading this proclamation from George Washington and those from subsequent Presidents, we should realize that mention of God by our government is perfectly constitutional (despite what the ACLU says).   Have a blessed thanksgiving everyone! By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, […]

Giuliani, Abortion and Logic

People on both sides of the abortion debate are frustrated with Rudy Giuliani (Giuliani vexes audiences with abortion views).  On one hand, he says he thinks abortion is wrong, but on the other hand, he thinks it should remain legal.  On still a third hand, he’d like to appoint the kind of judges that would likely […]

Turning the Tables on the Atheist

Before I attended Seminary, I took a class in Constitutional law at The George Washington University.   The class was taught by a very liberal law professor who made it known she was an atheist. When we got to the so-called “separation of church and state” issue, the professor realized I was a Christian and began […]
