Building a Biblical Theology
“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... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →

The universe is an extraordinary place and I am, as often as I think upon it, amazed at just how intricate it is. I am just as amazed with the human capacity to discover and explore the universe. A dominant theory concerning origins is that the universe was once one, ‘very small’ singularity that... Continue Reading →
I stepped into the room, eager to take care of the city’s business. When I saw the name of the man giving the invocation on the agenda, I was quite surprised. The man was a known activist for the cause of atheism, and I wondered what business he had praying at a town meeting.... Continue Reading →
Recently on twitter I replied to someone who posted an article regarding a theory involving an early rapid expansion of the universe after the ignition of the Big Bang.[1] The article, though toward the end it posits that all forms of theistic thought are absurd, fails to mention why or to give a valid argument...

Throughout all of history there has been a separation between the way that the believer views certain ideals and the way that the unbeliever views those same ideals. Within their certain worldviews, there have always been disagreements even among like individuals as to the implications of these ideals. As such, I... Continue Reading →
