So why doesn’t God want another young bull or even a single male goat from the Israelites? There’s actually two reasons … but we modern Christians have adopted one particular error that stops us from noticing one of those reasons.

I’m not a believer in blind faith. I think blind faith is stupid and dangerous.

This isn’t condemnation. This is pleasing God. This is finding God’s will. And if we call ourselves Christians, then nothing else ought to matter to us.

I’d like to direct those of you who read this to the commentary section of my Rest of the Old, Old Story site. I’m going to start updating it, beginning with the things found in today’s blog on Jeremiah 6.
Why should you read a commentary put together by me (especially one as sparse as is [...]

It is a basic premise of the scientific method that you need to prove what you believe.
When Albert Einstein suggested that massive objects can exert enough gravitational pull to bend space, he had to prove it. The way he did that was by waiting for a total eclipse, then looking for a star that was [...]

Genesis 1:14-19 describes the creation of the sun, moon, and stars on the 4th day.

In its early days, the church taught that Jesus came to fulfill [...]

Error, lies, and foolishness are always excellent motivators for me to blog.
The particular embarrassing morass of propaganda to which I am referring is John Ankerberg’s interview with Norman Geisler. The interview is such a collection of Protestant fantasy that I hardly know where to start.
However, start I will.
Norman Geisler
Geisler doesn’t believe in Purgatory. Fair enough. [...]

I've been using this advice for 10 years.
Simply put, it works.
Pain-Free Living can literally be life-changing.
Don't get surgery! Read Carpal Tunnel Syndrome first!. Only $9.95, which is beyond a good price; it's a gift from heaven.
