Does Isaiah 53 Speak About Jesus? A Response To Critics
I have always viewed the exquisitely detailed Messianic prophecy of Isaiah 53 as one of the most powerful and compelling reasons for thinking that Christianity is indeed true. Written some 700 years before Christ’s life on earth, this prophecy details the suffering...

Abortion and Body Parts: A Personal Account

Country a Mess? Blame the Church
As our great country accelerates its slide into economic and moral Hell, be careful whom you blame. The present boldness of liberals and timidity of conservatives are only the secondary causes. Much of the blame can be placed at the foot of the church. When I...

Big Bang Evidence for God
When I debated atheist Christopher Hitchens, one of the eight arguments I offered for God’s existence was the creation of this supremely fine-tuned universe out of nothing. I spoke of the five main lines of scientific evidence—denoted by the acronym SURGE—that point...
Atheist Diversionary Tactics
The new atheists are a tumescent bunch, unquestionably articulate, yet consummately misguided. Their incendiary rhetoric can't help but stir the emotions of the majority of America's religious. Yet why do they ultimately choose to target Christianity above all other...
