   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

   A number of years ago I wrote a little tract on atheism. I included it in the new tomb book given the prevalence of naturalistic materialism in the worldviews of those involved with the Tomb theory. I addressed the issue of “evidence” in the following manner:    Take the issue of evidence as an example. You claim you find no evidence

   This story appeared on the CNN website today, once again illustrating how modern, popular science is less about critical thinking and more about toeing the line and not criticizing cherished beliefs. The school teacher involved, the article states, has a master’s degree in science, and yet had the audacity to provide “supplemental material” that showed both the logical consequences of

Back in the early 1980’s the Christian church clamored over this thing called the New Age Movement. Books and articles poured out, warning Christians about this dangerous worldview that was a mixture of Eastern religion, occultism, and chicanery. Now, mention the New Age movement to a church Sunday school class, maybe two out of a group of twenty will be

   With the advent of The Blasphemy Challenge Brian Flemming’s The God Who Wasn’t There is once again garnering attention. I have addressed some of the more glaring aspects of this video on the DL in the past, but since the kind of “scholarship” that this kind of film promotes is so common in humanistic “academia” today, it is good to

   Does anyone have any further insight into this article? I looked at the pdf of the court proceedings of the stuff in Philadelphia, and while a mess, the Christians had clearly not helped themselves (or the rest of us) by their words and behavior, unfortunately. But could someone confirm the truthfulness of the Harding story? I would be utterly speechless

   If you listened carefully to the reviews I offered of Bishop Spong’s talks months ago, or have listened to the debate, or have listened to the debates from last year relating to the Jesus Seminar, you have, hopefully, discovered that when it comes to interaction with the scholarship of “the other side,” only our side bothers to take the time

   Gay police in the UK demonstrate hatred for the Holy Scriptures. (Can you imagine how many people would die in riots and murders across the world if such a picture appeared with the Qur’an instead of the Bible?)    Firemen Punished for Refusing to Distribute Leaflets at Gay Pride March. Anyone who has seen video of these debauched events knows why

   You may have already heard it, but Rosie O’Donnell today said on “The View” that “radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam.” Thankfully, the other women on the program were easily able to point out that her views are simply looney, which is the advantage of having a program where interaction can take place (ask Barry Lynn about

   A number of years ago I remember reading about the Anglican priest who professed to be an atheist—and was allowed to continue to be an Anglican priest. So, reading a current story about an Anglican priest who converts to Hinduism and takes the name Ananda and who sacrifices to an elephant idol and yet who, it seems, will be allowed

   I was looking over the August, 2006 “Soulforce Alert” which was reporting on the “1000 Watt March, Vigil and Concert” up in Colorado protesting Focus on the Family. One interesting paragraph I read said: In interviews with the two activists, one difference stood out. Chad Allen

   Dutch society died in the realm of morality quite some time ago. The bloated corpse, however, hangs around. Hat tip Shamgar and crewbear. Oh, by the way, do their arguments sound hauntingly familiar? Like the arguments used by the homosexuals only a few years ago? Hmmmm.

   Anyone who invests almost any time at all in following groups like SoulForce knows that the homosexual movement uses some of the most egregious forms of intimidation and fallacious argumentation to be seen in the American scene today. I was looking at one of their publications just now, and saw this paragraph: Let me make something absolutely clear: I do

   One of the issues that will take center stage in Orlando will be the nature of modern scholarship. As those of you know who have read The Same Sex Controversy, an entire body of “scholarship” has arisen over the past few decades in support of any number of competing (and often self-contradictory) theories regarding what the Bible “really teaches” about
