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…
One of the things that troubles me in the “homosexuality and the Bible” discussion is the lack of integrity of much of the homosexual scholarship. One example of this comes to the student of the Bible in 1 Cor 6.9. I was recently reading an article where the following was stated; Modern translations of the…
This question is indeed excellent, in that one must look at the historical context and the intent of the original authors to determine what and how these “persecution” passages are to be applied.

In this fun little cartoon, Douglas Wilson demonstrates the absurdity of evolutionary theory. CLASSIC…
Here’s the PowerPoint that we used in class today as we covered the Westminster Confession of Faith, chapter 8.

Intimately tied to the subject of objective morality, this issue for the Materialist is seemingly insurmountable given their foundational presuppositions.

Today we continued our study of the Westminster Confession of Faith chapter 3, where we continued to speak to the issue of God’s foreordination of all that comes to pass. This issue seems to create a great deal of tension in the Christian community, which is a shame because in the Scriptures, the doctrine of…
