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.

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

Mohler said it far better than I could. “The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men” (Psalm 12:8).

God is the source of life. The heart and soul open to His guidance and light will be a heart full of life. I think of pictures I’ve seen of those who suffer for the testimony of Christ, and the life that you see in their eyes despite their pain is a testimony to us all. And you look at

I just took a look at the roster of speakers/presenters at the big apologetics conference in Charlotte next month. A few leave me scratching my head a bit (Kay Arthur?), but I was particularly troubled to see that they are going to have a debate with Christopher Hitchens. Nothing wrong with that, I’d jump at the opportunity myself—but who are

   I will be addressing clips from Barack Obama’s Saturday speech to the Human Rights Campaign, a radical group promoting super rights based upon sexual behavior, on both the Dividing Line and then immediately afterward, Iron Sharpens Iron. I will share here the one line that, as I listened to the speech on Saturday evening, caused me to stop the recording

Dear Mr. Barker: Thank you for your lengthy note. Your response to the events in Newberg strike me as tremendously non-reflective. You do not seem willing, or capable, of giving serious consideration to your own positions, and your own actions. You do not seem to see the obvious, and evidently, this is due to what might be called the apostasy

   I was directed to this review of the debate from Saturday. I am thankful the writer identified himself as an atheist, for that, at least, explains the oddity of the review found in its praise of Godless. He writes, “I, as an Atheist, was happy to see Dan Barker defend our positions so deftly. I would invite anyone to read

   As soon as I got into the office today I went over to my atheism section in my library and pulled down Dan Barker’s 1992 publication, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist. This book is the immediate predecessor of Godless which came out, not two years ago as Dan recalled in the debate, but in 2008. I immediately

   As I noted in the previous article, Dan Barker’s attempt to hide the horrifically bad argumentation he presented in his 2007 book Godless failed badly. I promised the video, and here it is (my system is currently cooking along at 162 degrees in the CPU importing the gigabytes of video of the entire debate). I note that it is a
