I think the greatest mystery in all of the universe, and by “mystery” I mean that which we as creatures cannot wrap our finite minds around so as to comprehend, is, not the trinity, and not that he made the universe ex nihilo (out of nothing), and not the virgin birth, but the greatest mystery is his divine love for

Indeed. It sounds as if you supposed that argument was the way to keep him out of the Enemy’s clutches. That might have been so if he had lived a few centuries earlier. At that time the humans still knew pretty well when a thing was proved and when it was not; and if it was proved they really believed

In the year of King Uzziah’s death, I saw the sovereign master seated on a high, elevated throne. The hem of his robe filled the temple. Seraphs stood over him; each one had six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and they used the remaining two to fly. They called out to

Update from Hays here. ————— Steve Hays posted the following quote from WLC and a few Bible verses here. Alan Kurschner reposted those citations, with attribution at the bottom. This morning, Rich tells me a bunch of people have been complaining who 1) either missed the attribution at the bottom or 2) were claiming WLC was being taken out of

The more we learn, the more Paul’s term “without excuse” (ἀναπολογήτους) is proven an understatement. More inarguable evidence of design.

Christian exclusivity is anathema to the natural religious Man. “If someone is sincere about their religious faith, who are you to judge?” Their dogma characterizes today’s Christian inclusivism, but did you know that there were a few “sincerity=salvation” voices in the Reformation period: The emphasis among committed to the rational and ethical approach was upon

On August 11, Glenn Beck told Bill O’Reilly he has no problem with same-sex marriage: O’Reilly: “Do you believe that gay marriage is a threat to the country in any way?” Beck: “A threat to the country?” O’Reilly: “Yeah, is it going to harm it in any way?” Beck: (laughing) “No I don’t. Will the gays come and get us?”

The guys at Christ the Center recently discussed the issue of Natural Theology and in particular Michael Sudduth’s book The Reformed Objection to Natural Theology. On the panel was one of my favorite writers in apolologetics Dr. Scott Oliphint and James Dolezal. This is a deep discussing but worth the listen Click here to listen. For Oliphint’s discussion on theology

Despite the fact that they used a ten year old picture that continues to float about the Internet (but looks nothing like me any longer), you can go here for information on next weekend’s God and Culture Conference in the Detroit area. I’m speaking three times, but there are others speaking as well, so plan on being with us! I’m

If you expected full disclosure and fairness from any of the media relating to yesterday’s outrageous “let’s call this judicial, but it is anything but” torrent of revolutionary cultural drivel from US District Judge Vaughn R. Walker, you need to wake up. How many of the reports you saw, read, or heard, noted this one little fact: The announcement did

It’s a packing day…headed to New York for a weekend of ministry. I look forward to seeing the saints there, and I hope and pray my efforts will be useful to their edification. I almost wrote an article about the Proposition 8 case last night, but held off, knowing that it was most likely that a Federal Judge in San

I was a little busy this past weekend, but yes, I saw the newest installment of “Destroy the Foundations, Blaspheme the Institutions God Has Established” from the White House. I refer to the Father’s Day proclamation from President O’Bama, and in particular, to this passage: “Nurturing families come in many forms, and children may be raised by a father and

Is there such thing as a Reformed worldview? Listen to Dr. Scott Oliphint from the 2007 GPTS Spring Theology Conference speak on this very issues. Click here to listen. More audio from this conference (theme: A Christian Worldview) will be posted soon.

Alistair Begg, senior pastor at Parkside Church near Cleveland, Ohio, author and renowned radio Bible teacher on the Truth for Life broadcast, will address the theme: “Promoting the Gospel in an Alien World“. Listen to this live, call-in, radio / Internet interview Monday June 14, 6-7 PM EST on WNYG-1440AM in New York & Connecticut or listen Worldwide via live

Once in a while I am asked what kind of (general) apologetic material would I recommend. This can be a difficult question since there is not a lot of material that is simple enough to understand, without having some background knowledge. But the interesting thing about apologetics is that it really is simply thinking God’s thoughts after him and putting

I noted last year that the White House under President Barack Hussein Obama had designated June as “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month.” This resulted in TurretinFan doing an entire month’s worth of blog articles on the subject on his blog. Once again President Obama has added to our national shame by using the powers of his office to

Greetings from the Mile High City. About to grab a ride with some brothers here in the area, and as I’m preparing I have had the Today Show on. Two items from the media, and one other story that has been sent to me a number of times that illustrates how twisted Western Culture is becoming in its hatred of

I was directed to the March 5, 2010 issue of “Point of Inquiry,” a program wherein Robert Price interviewed fellow Jesus Seminar participant Robert J. Miller. Toward the end of the program I encountered the following material, which explains Dr. Price’s acceptance of the CRI invitation to debate in May. I think those gathered that evening should be aware of

This article by Al Mohler is a must read. Once again the foundations of the society of the US are under attack by the secular radicals whose ultimate goal is the eradication of the public expression of the Christian faith. Not surprisingly, the 9th Circuit ruled to do just that (compare that ruling with their recent opinion that “In God

I had to chuckle at this one this morning. Dawkins has attracted to himself adoring followers, but they are nasty adoring followers. I have noted that a single video I did criticizing Dawkins’ childish response to a questioner years ago has garnered not only one of the largest totals of views of all of my videos, but the nastiest, vilest

I will be debating Dr. Robert M. Price, a Jesus Seminar scholar and prolific author (see here for some of his books), at the CRI National Conference May 7th in Innisbrook, Florida. Hank Hanegraaff will moderate the debate. Those who have listened to my debate with John Dominic Crossan know how important this topic is. Dr. Price has expended great

Yesterday, I had a chance to sit down with Dr. Joseph Pipa, president of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He took about 8 minutes to discuss the GPTS Annual Conference. I’m new at using our camera for such things, and the color is simply awful: Click here to register for ths conference.

While riding yesterday with my lovely wife I listened to the encounter between William Dembski and a South African atheist and biologist, Lewis Wolpert, that took place on the Unbelievable radio program. You can listen to it here, but I warn you, if you are looking for a meaningful exchange on intelligent design, you won’t get it. You will, in

Most have heard about these comments by Brit Hume: The secularists are, of course, howling in protest, but if you read what they are saying, one obvious underlying theme comes to the fore. No one is offering reasoned, objective criticism of the substance of Hume’s comments, because, quite simply, he is right. Buddhism does not, in fact, provide for redemption

Bill Maher is a comedian. He is not a historian, theologian, or philosopher. All one need do is take a quick look at the inane tweets he posted for Christmas, drawing from all the worst foolishness of atheism, to see why. Clearly, he has never undertaken to verify his sources, because, of course, comedians do not verify sources. The goal

Rich took the time to take the video of my sermon on the MD and to sync up the higher quality audio. The result is much easier to listen to, to be sure. Since the topic is not going away anytime soon, I am posting the better version here.

I returned from a very enjoyable jaunt up and down South Mountain with my wife (on bicycles, of course) to discover that Southern Seminary President Albert Mohler had tweeted a link to my comments on the Manhattan Declaration. I am very thankful Dr. Mohler felt them worthy of notice. I said recently Dr. Mohler is the smartest Southern Baptist alive,

Because we honor justice and the common good, we will not comply with any edict that purports to compel our institutions to participate in abortions, embryo­destructive research, assisted suicide and euthanasia, or any other anti­life act; nor will we bend to any rule purporting to force us to bless immoral sexual partnerships, treat them as marriages or the equivalent, or

I have been saying for years, homosexuals do not want equal rights. They want uber-rights. They want to silence anyone who would identify their sexual perversion as sin. Why? Romans 1 tells you. Suppressing the truth is tiring, and for the homosexual, it is a full-time job. They cannot silence their conscience, but they can try to silence anyone who
