Do Ideas Really Have Consequences?

Indeed, truth is under siege and there is a consequence to our ideas. So often we think that ideas come out of ivory towers and scholars debate them but we fail to realize that ideas have consequences.   If you don’t think ideas have consequences, just think back to October 1917. The Russian revolutionary Vladimir [...]

Are some people drunk on the Millennium?

Have you ever noticed how many people seem to be metaphorically drunk on the millennium? You go back to the early 1800s and you have a broad range of people that are seeking to time the approaching terror and the turmoil of the tribulation correlated with the Second Coming by correlating current events with biblical [...]

Is Eugenics Just a Thing of the Past?

Virtually every single morning I do exactly the same thing, I get out of bed, I do my devotions, I memorize, I exercise, I get a cup of coffee, and I read USA Today. The Life section in the “D” section in USA Today led on June 24, 2009 with a story on the terrible [...]

Is Belief In Divine Action Only a Matter of Faith?

Zeitgeist – The Movie

Just a couple of days ago I was asked by my son Paul Stephen about Zeitgeist the movie. Zeitgeist means the spirit of the times. He had watched this movie on the internet and was very troubled. He wanted to get some type of explanation for what was going on, so he asked me would [...]

Word of Faith Revisionism

The current issue of the Christian Research Journal cover story is Christianity in Crisis 21st Century. The book was released this month so that’s the feature article. Have you ever wondered why prosperity preachers redefine faith as a force? Why they attempt to talk devotees into believing that Adam was an exact duplicate of God—no [...]
