The Sin of Sodom May Not Be What You Think It Is

May 27, 2010

In Ezekiel 16 God is strongly rebuking Israel for their forsaking of the covenant. It is a very graphic chapter–not the kind of reading that makes you go, “Well bless my soul!” Quite the opposite. When God tells his chosen people that they have committed spiritual prostitution, he pulls no punches in describing their sin. [...]

Why We Will Not Be Celebrating Mother’s Day

May 8, 2010

According to the CDC, nearly 12% of women in America are unable to bear children. That’s 7.3 million. Over 7 million women in the United States alone can’t be mothers.

Why You Should Never Apologize for Jesus’ Humanity

April 20, 2010

Daniel Kirk asks, “Ever get the sense that Christians are apologetic about the fact that Jesus was a human?” Good question. We put a lot of emphasis on the fact that Jesus is God, and rightly so.

April 16, 2010

This entry is part 4 of 7 in the series Bruce Waltke and the Creation Debate

I’ve recently discovered this blog post from an ancient Church blog. I present it to you with my tongue planted firmly in my cheek! ————- A wolf in sheep’s clothing, that “noted scientist,” Copernicus, has recently defended the belief that the sun is the center of the universe.

April 13, 2010

This entry is part 3 of 7 in the series Bruce Waltke and the Creation Debate

Bruce Waltke conducted a survey in 2009 about hindrances people have to accepting evolution as a God-ordained and God-guided process of creation.

How To Trust the Bible if Evolution Is True

April 12, 2010

This entry is part 2 of 7 in the series Bruce Waltke and the Creation Debate

Whenever the creation/evolution issue comes up, one of the guaranteed arguments most literalists (i.e., “6, 24-hour day” creationists) give is this: If we can’t trust Genesis 1-3, then how can we trust anything else the Bible says?
