Abstract Laws

Just a quick note. This morning I was engaged in a conversation with one of my high school students at the local Christian school regarding a research paper which he presented refuting naturalistic materialism. Interestingly, he has picked up on the transcendental argument for God’s existence (TAG) and what he presented in the paper is…

President Obama and Worldview Reflection

When President Obama addressed the American media and people this week, the true issue was not gun control, nor the mass killings that have happened in recent years. Instead, what should have struck the majority of listeners is the massive lack of reflection on his own worldview – because that ultimately is the issue at…

I recently gave the same presentation at a local Christian school, and figured that I would post the PowerPoint and audio for your (I hope) edification. Blessings to all of you and God bless.

John 1.1 and the Absolute Deity of Christ

In Sunday School, we picked up where we left up two weeks ago in our evaluation of John 1.1, covering in today’s class clauses b and c of verse 1. In doing so, we demonstrated the absolute deity of the Lord Jesus Christ and why we, as confessional Christians, proclaim that Jesus is very God…
