Israel… The Neighborhood Bully

Israel… The Neighborhood Bully

I first shared these song lyrics about ten years ago, but actually the song was written over forty years ago - evidence that some things just don't change.

How to Love People You Don’t Like

How to Love People You Don’t Like

My title may strike some as expressing an un-Christian sentiment. Surely, Christians should like everyone, shouldn't they? What does it mean to "like" a person anyway? I would say that in loving we don't have to like everything people do or say or think. We don't have to like that which is evil or that which offends the Spirit within us. We don't have to smile at something we're convinced is wrong or which we have no affinity for. We have the dignity and right to have our own views, tastes and preferences. If I say I don't like your music I'm not committing a sin. However, we are required and commanded to love.

Who Made God?

Who Made God?

The idea that the universe created itself and ended up producing Beethoven's Sonata NO.14 in C is, to me, the most ridiculous, preposterous idea that could be imagined. But a common question which believers in such ideas ask, in order to stump Christians, is "Who made God? Where did he come from?"

Why Did the Flood Leave Few or No Human Fossils?

Why Did the Flood Leave Few or No Human Fossils?

Secular geologists have become more convinced in recent decades that catastrophic processes caused at least some of what we see in the record of the rocks and the fossils, whereas they once insisted that the present is the key to the past. The difference in their interpretation of the effect of catastrophism is that they believe multiple disasters over many millions of years formed the rock record, whereas the creationist puts most (not all) of the features we see today, including most of the fossil record, down to one colossal catastrophe: the Biblical Flood.

Fake Spirituality

Fake Spirituality

One of the many warnings Jesus gave when speaking of the scourge of deception was against the present-day cult of the Holy Spirit. To those who would accuse me of "blaspheming the Holy Spirit", or of "not believing in the Holy Spirit" I say that I have no intention of blaspheming the beautiful and holy Spirit of God or of disbelieving. He is with me now, as he is with all true believers in the one and only son of God. My intention is to drive us all to focus on our real object of worship.
