  • The Problem of Pain: Perfect Paradox

    The Problem of Pain: Perfect Paradox

    God is perfect, at least that’s what you claim. Tell me how a perfect God can create anything imperfect. Yet, according to your holy book, the very prize of God’s creation fails. The most important of God’s works is also the most depraved and the cause of all suffering in the world. People are selfish.…

  • Looking For Religious (Worldview) Writers

    Looking For Religious (Worldview) Writers

    We are looking for religious writers from every worldview (yes, even atheistic or naturalistic) to write for our new newsletter. You can be located anywhere in the world. We only need one writer from each religious/denominational/confessional viewpoint. The details can be seen below. The Iron Block will be a worldview comparison concerning various topics and…

  • What is Faith, Really?

    What is Faith, Really?

    This week, we get to begin our study of Paul’s letter to the Romans. This letter presents us with a holistic view of the Christian faith. It is an umbrella commentary on the Old Testament, observing Christ in light of the Old Testament, a proclamation of the Gospel, and a brief application of that Gospel…

    Yes, The Pope Said Atheists Can Go To Heaven…

    I want to make this clear from the outset. I am not interested in blasting the Pope. There is so much hate around what the Pope said to that poor child. Yes, he lied and said something that is inconsistent with Scripture. Popes have been doing that for a long time. Then again, haven’t we…

  • In today’s world, why belief in Jesus?

    Last week, as we started the book of Judges, we learned about this cycle of sin, repentance and restoration that plagued the nation of Israel and we noticed the same type of pattern in our own lives. When I see this type of cycle, I notice something about a Biblical worldview that is different from…

  • 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,…

  • Contemplating the Cosmos: Standing on the Shoreline

                I stand outside and look at the stars with wonder, noting the great complexity of systems and the great emptiness within the cosmos that I have read about. To think that I look with wonder at the same universe that is observed by great thinkers like the late Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking. Yet…

  • Preston Smith Invocation: why is it foolish to say there is no God?

                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.…
