   After doing the program today (be patient on the file: our ministry Internet connection went down shortly after the program, so we are having to use alternative means) I encountered this video of a magazine publisher simply telling it like it is before the Alberta “Human Rights Commission.” Watch the HRC representative wither as he fires his broadside. Three cheers!

   The speed at which the governments of the secular West are turning on the Christians living within their borders is a sure sign of the judgment of God coming upon this culture. It truly has come to the point where I question the wisdom of my ever going north of the border again, given that it is without a question

   This one hits close to home. This amazing picture is of a drunk slamming into a group of cyclists in a race in Mexico on June 1 (ht: SillyBrit2). You can see bodies flying through the air, a helmet, bikes, parts of bikes—one man, 37, was killed, ten others were injured. The driver? Drunk, fell asleep at the wheel. By

“A debate is a conflict which clarifies a position. A dialogue is a conversation which compromises a position.” John E. Ashbrook, The New Neutralism II    I don’t have the book (yet), but given what yours truly does regularly (and by the way, we will have a major debate announcement upcoming soon!), this pithy statement caught my attention. So many I

   This is short notice, but you may wish to tune in Pastor Chuck McIlhenny on Iron Sharpens Iron today. McIlhenny’s experience as pastor of the First Orthodox Presbyterian Church in San Francisco (which is right on the road I take to GGBTS each time I’m up there) was told in the book, When the Wicked Seize a City. My how

   Here is a play list of the five videos containing the video shot from my tiny (but high performing!) Casio Exilim camera. These are the only recordings that exist as far as I know. I did not include the audience questions because…they were audience questions (i.e., not really questions, but statements disguised as questions). I had a good mp3 recorder

The following paper was handed in today to Dr. Anthony Curto for an introductory class in apologetics. It is a paper that appeared online in the past, that I reworked (and will continue to do so). You will notice that there is a large section misssing – application. While I was originally going to include critique of various cultic views

   When God for even a moment expresses His wrath by withdrawing His hand of restraint from the sinfulness of mankind, we are shocked at the results (and, in sinfulness, then blame God for allowing such a demonstration to take place). The link I am about to provide is one of the most shocking, disgusting examples of the perversion of the

PRESS RELEASE Glendale Community College Professor Identifies Christians as the “Religiously Insane,” Tells Christian Students Their Parents Lied to Them; Says Christians Would Nail Jesus to the Cross if He Came Back    Dr. Lee Carter, a philosophy instructor at Glendale Community College, said the following to his class on October 25, 2007: And in fact, if Jesus did come back,

   I got Bart Ehrman’s new book yesterday in the mail, and here are some initial thoughts that prove once again, “theology matters.”

   I do believe we will need to start to view our brothers seeking to proclaim the gospel in the United Kingdom as foreign missionaries in their own homeland, given the speed with which the British culture is collapsing into utter irrationality and loathing of God and His laws. I was just pointed to this article: Gay Christian wins £47k pay-out

   I was vivdly reminded of the truth of Romans 1:24-32 as I read this article. It seems these British environmentalists consider the life of the planet more valuable than human life. The whole issue of environmentalism is one that is often distorted by extremes (aren’t so many issues that way?). As Christians, we should recognized two things that are evident

   When you hear someone saying what you’ve been saying it makes you go, “See, I told you so!” This article by Phil Johnson is a great read. How many times have our regular readers and listeners heard me lamenting the insatiable desire on the part of “the academy” to be loved by, respected by, the world, and the resultant train-wreck

   Not much commentary needed here. These speak for themselves in the main. This story is critical of the kind of brain-washing, the kind of creation of blind followers, that religion causes…that most religion causes. (Many references to blind following in “authority/obedience model religions”). And if you’re willing to settle, out of fear, for any kind of garbage, whether it’s the

   Gary DeMar wanted to hear about Summer’s encounters with Dr. Lee Carter, so we did an interview this past week. Summer surely proves “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” In the second half of the program Gary and I discussed Islam. Gary and I met for the first time in June while we were both speaking for Coral

   On October 31, churches throughout the world celebrate the nailing of Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses to the Wittenberg Chapel door. The event represents the outpouring of Christianity unshackled and blossoming. Like Hilkiah finding the Book of the Law, the thirty-four year old Luther proclaimed the doctrinal “solas” to the world: scripture alone, Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone, and the

   The following quotation is from a book by a Muslim author. It made me laugh when I read it, because it further confirmed a truth I have been told, and have witnessed, for years. Let me give you the quote, and I will explain after: In any case, the unacceptability of Jesus’ divinity and the Trinity to the Qur’an is

WARNING: This blog post contains profanities and vulgarities. I am warning you up front. No, I have not joined the emergent movement. I am quoting a professor directly, from a digital audio recording this time, and it is important to know what is being said in classrooms today by those who detest Christianity and who behave in simply outrageous fashion.

Answers in Genesis have posted a reply to the recent Council of Europe document that dogmatically asserts “The dangers of creationism in education.”

Dear Dr. Carter:    On September 21 I posted an Open Letter to you and informed you of its appearance by e-mail. On September 25thyou made reference to people who e-mail you and challenge you to debate in your class, and hence I assume you received the previous e-mails. You have chosen to not so much as acknowledge my letters, let

   Many have been asking about any developments in the situation my daughter Summer encountered in having a philosophy professor who accused her parents of “lying” to her regarding the authorship of the gospels (though, of course, he hasn’t a clue what she was taught on the subject to begin with: Carter assumes everyone who believes God can speak with clarity

Dear Dr. Carter:    I have had the privilege of teaching for the past sixteen years, and am thankful for every opportunity I have to stand before a class of students. It is an honor, but it is truly a privilege as well, one to be taken very seriously.    It is my understanding that during your philosophy class at Glendale Community

   In the previous blog, we looked at some passages from the first three Harry Potter books and analyzed their underlying assumptions with a view to demonstrating that the Harry Potter series depends upon a Christian worldview. I am not claiming that these books are Christian, or even Christian allegory, or even that J. K. Rowling is herself a Christian (from

   This weekend, the publishing phenomenon that is Harry Potter reaches its conclusion with the official release of the final book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Outside of the millions of people, young and old, who have invested money and hours of online time to these books, there are those, especially within the Christian community who will

   I often reflect of the passage in Genesis where the two angels are being protected by Lot from the hoard of ungodly men who wish to have carnal relations with them. I am often struck by the sheer disgusting lust that pervades these men that even when they are struck, themselves, by blindness that they weary themselves trying to find

   In their Historical and Theological Introduction to Luther’s Bondage of the Will, J.I. Packer and O. R. Johnson make the following observation, comparing the attitude of Erasmus with the attitude of Luther: Christianity, to Erasmus, was essentially morality, with a minimum of doctrinal statement loosely appended. What Erasmus professed that he desired to see in Christendom was a return to

   The headline says it all, “Moore May Tackle Gay Rights.” Yes, Michael Moore, the man who has never met a fact he couldn’t ignore, twist, spin, or bury, is set to insult all Christians once again by daring to touch upon a subject that is obviously far beyond his expertise. How do I know this? Here: “There is nowhere in

   A passage that is very familiar to those of us who strongly emphasize the depravity of man and the gravity of sin is Romans 1:18: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.”    That word “suppress” is intriguing, for it presumes knowledge of the truth in

   I am rarely left without words during a debate. Peter Stravinskas did it to me in the debate on purgatory with his line, “Pay me now, or pay me later.” And in this clip from our newly completed DVD (yes, finally in DVD!), John Shelby Spong did it to me as well. I was referring to just how far out

   Dr. Lee Botzet has written, A Heart for God’s Glory: The Revival of a God-Centered Faith in a Self-Centered World. You can purchase this book at Amazon.    Botzet has done extensive research and studies in Biblical and historical revival and reform. A Heart for God’s Glory: The Revival of a God-centered Faith in a Self-Centered World is a personal journey

   I read this shocking report that goes into very graphic and difficult detail concerning the torture and murder of three Christians by Muslims in Turkey just a few weeks ago. The press had not seen fit to reveal the scope of the horrific abuse heaped upon these believers by these young men, nor the continued persecution, bigotry, and hatred shown
