I must confess I've never dated a rock. In fact, I've never dated a rock star, either. All silly jokes aside, you may not realize it, but it's probably easier to date a rock star than it is to date a rock Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn how I address those who make confident assertions that rocks are millions of years old.

Monday, July 21st, marks the 100-year anniversary of what I believe to be one of the most significant trials in American history. It didn't have 24-hour cable news coverage, but it was the first trial to ever be broadcast nationally on live radio. Although the trial was held in a small town in Tennessee, the celebrity attorney for the defense hailed from Chicago, and the prosecutor was a thre...

Upon discovering I reject Darwinian evolution as an explanation for the origin of the diverse life on this planet, skeptical students sometimes look bewildered and ask, "Do you even believe in science?" I do, but when faced with evidence for special creation, I sometimes wonder if they "believe in science," or just in evolution. Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer...

Creationists believe that with God all things are possible. Evolutionists often claim that "with enough time," all things are possible.  Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn who has the better argument.

Those who "believe in science and don't believe in God" are fond of saying we creationists simply believe in "the God of the gaps." This phrase, "the God of the gaps," implies that whenever we can't explain a mystery of nature, rather than continuing to seek an answer through scientific research and experimentation, we cop out by attributing it to God. To th...

It's commonly believed that people who believe in evolution do so because of science, whereas people who believe in creation do so because of religion. Years of personal interactions with evolutionists have taught me that's not really the case. Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more. Scripture Used in Today's Message Proverbs 9:10 If you've not read my b...

Some people try to reconcile a belief in "science" (i.e. evolution) with Genesis by saying they're both true. But there are some serious theological problems with evolution, including how one addresses the problem of suffering and death in our world. Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more.

It's easy to neglect dedicated specific prayer. Why? Because it's so powerful and our enemy wants to make sure you don't prayer.

Are we supposed to take the Bible literally?  Is Genesis just a story telling us WHY God created the world or did God actually create the world just as it says?

Why do you worship God and for what do you praise Him? One of the primary reasons given throughout Scripture for which we are to worship and praise God is that He is our Maker -- our Creator. But do you believe that? Our schools teach we simply got here by evolution -- a natural process that doesn't require God. What's the truth? Why's it matter? Join me for Today's Daily Word...

How often do you think about mundane things, such as what you will eat or drink? Likewise, how often do you think about significant life events like marriage, graduations, retirement, etc? My guess is that you think about these things much more than you think about the judgment to come. It's easy to do, but let's not make the same mistake the people of Noah's day made. Join me for T...

At 249 years old, we have drifted far away from the original purpose for which our nation was founded.

God desires His truth to reside in our "innermost being."  I hope that's your desire as well. However, there's one big obstacle to His truth reigning in our heart / our innermost being.  What is that obstacle? It's us! God doesn't play second fiddle, and we're already occupying the throne of our heart. For God and His truth to reign in our hearts, we've got...

Do you connect emotionally with God's word?  Some believers don't, and sometimes we don't even think we're supposed to connect emotionally with the Scripture. After all, God's word is true, and since what's true is true, we wouldn't want to let our emotions get in the way of faithful obedience.  But while we don't want to be ruled by our emotions, I contend...

Meditation is a key discipline that helps get God's truth into our "innermost being" (Psalm 51:6). It means that we actively and intentionally engage with the Scripture as we seek to understand what it means and how we are to carefully put into practice what we learn. Do you know how to meditate on the Word? Have you been doing it?  Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer t...

It's my belief that many good Christians are defeated by sin and temptation because they know God's truth in their mind, but it has not yet reached their "innermost being." Put another way, they know the truth intellectually, and may very well believe it to be true, but the word of God hasn't found a place deep in their heart (i.e. their "innermost being").  Cons...
