Just a quick note as I try to get caught up from my Atlanta trip. Met some great folks, even a few folks from channel. Here’s a little picture. From left to right, using our IRC nicks (to protect the not-so-innocent) we have redgoatee, RDD, DrOakley, johnMark, and XB6. skyman drove down with his lovely wife, but didn’t hang around

OK, that’s a pitiful recreation from Fantasy Island, but hey, it works. Look to the right, over there —> see the link about the cruise? FOLLOW IT! This cruise is being scheduled only eleven months after the last one, so we gotta get moving! Tired of hearing about how much fun everyone gets to have, all the fellowship, the teaching?

We should probably get used to it. If it is associated with ABC, it will be as anti-Christian as it can possibly be. And so it was tonight, after the interview with Gibson on ABC. The local affiliate, notoriously one of the worst in the Phoenix area as far as news coverage is concerned, presented what it called an “investigation”

Hear those crickets? Yeah, it’s quiet. The books have shipped (and I’m sure they were busy at The Berean Call as well), but they are still in transit. Won’t be hitting the bookstores for a while, either. Hence, the calm before the storm. 🙂 Joined Paul Edwards for an hour on his program in Detroit today (www.ontheword.net) to talk about

I used to get all of my books done early. That was a decade or more ago. Doesn’t work that way anymore. Bethany House is expecting a book very soon, and I have a tremendous amount of work to do. So, instead of even wandering off into the web so as to experience the temptation of investing time in replying

Ol’ has dug up another conspiracy! While safely ensconced in his super-secret hideout in the wilds of Nova Scotia, he discovered that if you look for the new debate book with Dave Hunt, due out next month, you will find that it is a co-authored work, with my name, in the US and, of all places, Japan. However, if

Hey, you know that show, “Celebrity Mole”? We have an IRC mole now. This morning a conversation broke out in channel about the importance of exegesis, the rules of hermeneutics, and eventually the entire concept of creeds, Scripture, inspiration, etc. Well, hardly any time later we find an anonymous blogger named “Purist” who is intent upon going after yours truly

Our less-than-brave (read “cowardly”) mole seems to have constant access to his website: Fight on O Great White Warrior! Lift your sword as we ride on and stand shoulder to shoulder to battle these great heresies and the wretched souls who will own them! Why thank you, so much! I will do my best. However…how about having the, well, guts,

For those waiting, interminably it seems, on Drawn by the Father, we have been promised it will arrive this week. Thanks for your patience. Also…skip the DVD stuff as yet. All this silly -r +r stuff is driving us nuts. More work to do before we get that perfected (if it is perfectible). If you got a DVD and your

Lots of folks ask us about Dan Corner, the fellow who has been so kind as to give me the Skull and Crossbones Award for bad theology, and who says I won’t debate him. We have exposed Dan Corner, the great opponent of “OSAS,” on our website. Now, we have photographic proof that Dan Corner will not debate the real

I noted on 12/29 that I had preached a brief sermon on the new Mel Gibson movie. I heard from John Piper that he has written a small book embodying the very concerns I voiced in that sermon. If you would like to get hold of it, you can see it and order it (when it comes out) at www.passion-book.com.

I received an e-mail that contained a list of “Principles of Biblical Interpretation for the 21st Century. While I didn’t agree with all of them, the first five were sadly accurate:   Scripture is full of paradoxes and apparent contradictions that cannot be explained, reconciled, harmonized, or systematized by the finite, human mind

What an incredible experience. Nineteen days on the road, the Stafford debate, the apologetics cruise, a respiratory infection, preaching at three different churches, all capped off by three hours on The Bible Answer Man broadcast. Just a few things, since I just flew home and have way too much to do to try to dig out from underneath all that

As you consider the holidays, how about supporting a wonderful Christian lady who makes outrageously wonderful shortbread cookie creations? Amy is one of our channel regulars, and you can see her handiwork at www.amylooz.com! Tell her DrOakley sent you! Won’t do anything, but she’ll laugh anyway.

In the midst of apostasy, it’s nice to see someone standing for truth. Click here for a positive statement from the Anglicans.

This will probably be the last blog entry I make for a few weeks. . I suppose I could install a program on my laptop, but believe me, satellite costs at sea are prohibitive! 🙂 For those who join with us here at A&O in loving, passionately, the truth of

From the Keyboard of James White…. Who could have imagined a year ago how different the world would be with the dawning of 2002! But while the world has changed, God’s truth has not, and so the work of apologetics continues on in the face of ever-expanding challenges. In most of our minds, 2001 was two years: pre-9/11 and post-9/11.

From the Keyboard of James White…. Things have certainly been busy for me over the past 12 months. I am still maintaining my workload of teaching, debating, writing, broadcasting, etc. And now with a new book and more to come, time seems very elusive. Speaking of new books, The Potter’s Freedom is now available and I am simply amazed at

From the Keyboard of James White…. I know, I know, it’s been forever. It’s not like I haven’t been busy, though! Allow me a few moments to get everyone up to speed on happening with Alpha and Omega Ministries. First and foremost, I’m not alone here anymore! That is, as of January 5th, Richard Pierce, our long-time, faithful President, has come on the staff
