Given the state of public education, I suspect many young people have no idea who the Marquis de Sade is. (The word “sadism” derives from his name.) He was the first person in modern times to write openly about abortion and affirm it. As Davidson notes in Pagan America, Sade’s…

I did not know that Francis Schaeffer (of L’Abri) had a son until I saw this interview with him conducted by Sean McDowell. This was painful to watch. Frank claims to be an “atheist who believes in God.” Sean is very gracious in the interview. While it’s obvious that Frank…

The book Jesus, The Great Philosopher: Rediscovering the Wisdom Needed for the Good Life by Jonathan Pennington, is a worthwhile read—especially for young people who are struggling with the philosophical meaning of life and are attracted to other philosophies. In that book, Pennington asserts that “Only humans die by suicide”…

I’ve always marveled at how Christ precisely fulfills the Old Testament Jewish feast days. Consider . . . 1) Passover (Leviticus 23:5) – Pointed to the Messiah as our Passover lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7) whose blood would be shed for our sins. Jesus was crucified on the day of preparation…

by Bob Pratico Submitted July 09, 2022 at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary In my experience many Southern Baptist churches, apparently fearful of an “overreaction”, observe Pentecost Sunday with deafening silence refusing to even acknowledge the momentous significance of that historic day on the liturgical calendar. Some seem to fear the…

10 May 2025 Pontius Pilate asked the right question when he queried Jesus – What is truth? (John 18:38). Ironically he was staring truth incarnate in the face. So what is truth? While some might offer a convoluted philosophical response, the answer is simple. Truth is whatever accords with reality.…

Meet your son’s physics college professor. He is a postmodern naturalist atheist who excels in deconstructing Christian worldviews. Geroge Barna concludes the following from his extensive research here: “The firm’s studies have also pointed out that a person’s worldview is primarily shaped and is firmly in place by the time…
