Violence Among Our Kids—What Are We Teaching Them?

American youth are suffering in today’s society, and I can’t help but wonder if it’s not because we’ve relegated their upbringing to people who really don’t love them. For example, there are too many mass murdering young people using guns to kill innocent students. Who raised a child to get to this point? One young man, […]

Did Jesus Enjoy Life on Earth?

As I continue to study the life of Christ, I find myself wondering if He really enjoyed his life on Earth because it seems like it must have been very difficult to challenge the status quo, live a life of traveling from place to place, never owning His own house, and finally facing His own […]

What the Fear of Cancer Does to You

I hate mammograms, so I avoid them like the plague. After having my boob vice-gripped between two-glass blocks, and flattened to the point of my passing out, I don’t do annual exams. I know I’m supposed to, and believe me, I’ve had too many girlfriends get breast cancer to know better. I am just being […]

If God is Good, Then Why Do Kids Suffer or Die?

Tweeting with Atheists on Morality

I’ve been told not to go there. Don’t engage with atheists on Twitter because they’ll slam you with eager anticipation! Well, I certainly wasn’t looking for a fight, but I have posted things that question the atheistic worldview. I try to respectfully engage people on an intelligent discussion of the big picture issues of human […]

Why Bad Things Happen to Good People: Three Unpopular Reasons

In our “self-esteem-motivated” culture, this is very unpopular to say, but there really are no “good” people. So when bad things happen to us, it’s often at the hands of others. This is a hard truth, but if we take a brutally-honest look at humanity, historically we’ve fallen short of goodness in countless ways. For example, […]

The secular alternative to morality

This is written by my friend, fellow apologist and guest blogger, Kevin Moss. He writes from where he calls “across the pond,” in Wales, in the UK. Last Saturday, my wife (Mags) was singing in a Christian choir, which annually organizes a large Christmas Concert in the St. David’s Hall in Cardiff.  People come from all […]

Suffering Can Make You, or Break You—How Your Suffering Matters

As Christians, we claim to have the ultimate answers to life’s problems. It’s easy when everything is going well. Nonbelievers watch us, however, more intently when things go wrong, and that is when the so-called “rubber hits the road.” I recently saw this in action through one of my closest friends who lost her 17-year […]

Why Do People Suffer from Adam’s Sin?

Why do people suffer for a sin Adam and Eve committed long ago? This is known as “original sin,” and there are some interesting theories theologians have come up with on how this happens. So, get your “thinking divinely” mind-set geared up for this one! Original sin can be answered by determining the origin of our souls. […]

Why Did God Order the Killing of the Canaanites? Four Main Reasons

Many cannot reconcile how a loving God could command the killing of the Canaanites in the Old Testament. I don’t like it any more than you do, but having just completed a course at Biola on why God allows evil, I understand it much better now. Here are four main reasons why this terrible event […]
