  • My Church is Better Than Yours

    My Church is Better Than Yours

    On Sunday at ASBC, I started John 3. I’ve been preaching through John’s gospel since October, and I’m still only to Chapter 3. That’s funny, but working through it slowly really does produce more fruit. Here at the beginning, John has made human depravity very clear to his audience. Jesus would not entrust Himself to…

  • Armageddon: The Iranian Conflict and End Times

    Armageddon: The Iranian Conflict and End Times

    Well. I finally saw the word used in association with events currently at play in the Middle East. In her post, Coston claimed that, in the last battle, the nations wouldn’t necessarily fight against Israel but against Christ. I have to say, I have never actually seen such a narrative in the text of Scripture.…

  • Faith: The Basis of All Human Belief

    Faith: The Basis of All Human Belief

    There are many people who claim to believe something because of some degree of empirical evidence. People who believe the earth is old claim to believe it is old based on some manner of carbon dating. They claim to base their theories of evolution on similarities in genetic sequences or fossils. In the same manner,…

  • Why does God not show His face?

                “I would believe in your God, if only He would show His face.” I remember speaking to an atheist friend of mine who, to put it lightly, is obviously and outspokenly skeptical that any deity exists at all. As far as he is concerned, there is no evidence that speaks in God’s favor and…

  • Is Jesus the Messiah? ( John 1:38-51)

                In 2013, there was an event held in which two atheist scholars posited that Jesus of Nazareth did not exist within history and that the entire Christian religion was a ruse designed by the Roman government in order to control the Jewish people. While this is a stretch concerning what we know of the…

  • Contemplating the Cosmos: Between Heaven and Hell

    The other day as I took the dog out I saw what we refer to as a “shooting star”. I hurried the dog along and quickly brought my wife outside so that she could witness it. It was small, meaning is was further away than we usually hope a comet or asteroid would be, but…

  • Contemplating the Cosmos: A Universe in Harmony?

    “…we live in an in-between universe, where things change, but according to patterns, rules, or, as we call them, laws of nature.”[1] I am amazed at the fact that there are certain governing authorities over my existence on this earth, this cosmic shoreline. I can walk along and gravity holds me to the ground. Still,…
