  • Am I Qualified for Ministry?

                No matter who we are or where we are serving, it seems that any good minister under Jesus Christ asks this question. There are those who expect too much of a minister or someone who has taken a leadership role in the church, and there are those who expect too less. I want to…

  • Do you ever have trouble figuring out what God wants from you?

                This question is one that seems to haunt everyone I know who has a relationship with Christ. Of course, following Christ means that we do what He leads us to do. Sometimes, though, it is difficult to know exactly what God wants in any given situation or even concerning…

  • Desire and Purpose

    C.S. Lewis once argued that “Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists.”[1] Peter Kreeft formatted the argument thusly:[2]   Every natural or innate desire we experience has a corresponding real object that can satisfy the desire. We experience an innate desire which nothing in this world can satisfy. Therefore, there…

  • Did Jesus Really Die? (Mark 15:33-47)

                There are a few in today’s religious sectors who believe that Jesus did not actually die. They might agree that He actually existed, but state boldly that He did not die and did not need to die for humanity’s salvation. The truth of this matter should be clear to us.…

  • Is Morality Important Anyway? (Romans 8:12-17)

                Is morality important for the Christian? Is it important for humanity in general? Across the planet, people measure morality by different standards and accept different actions as morally right or wrong. For instance, I have spoken to Californians and New Yorkers who see the ownership of firearms as morally questionable…

  • Are You Righteous?

              One of the misconceptions of the Christian faith throughout the years has been that it proposes some sort of works-based righteousness. That is the idea that each person must work for a good enough reputation before God before being approved for entrance into some sort of paradise or heaven. The Christian…

  • No One is Capable of Understanding

                Some time ago I very facetiously wrote a brief “philosophy of philosophy”[1] and, in the presented argument, suggested that doing philosophy meant nothing without God. My younger brother, Nolan, replied to my ‘argument’ and, I must say, he replied very well.[2] He came to the same conclusion, only changing the…

  • Here a Slave, There a Slave, Everywhere a Slave Slave…

    Slavery is contemporarily classified as a morbid evil that once permeated, and in many ways still persists in human civilization and this classification is true. It is true in the sense that African Americans should never have been treated as they once were. It is true in the sense that human trafficking is a vile…

  • Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men?

    Thus rang the voice of the Angels as they made proclamation to the lowly shepherds about the birth of our Messiah, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”[1] In this moment, Roman oppression of the Jewish people had grown to such a point that it would have been…
