This is a picture of “Step Canyon”. It is just below the current dome of Mt. St. Helens.
In March of 1982, another explosive eruption melted a thick snow and ice pack that had built up in the crater since the 1980 events. The resulting water and mudflow cut through the bedrock at the edge of the crater. In a matter of hours, as if it were a hot knife going through butter, the mud...
This is a picture from inside “Little Grand Canyon” at the base of Mt. St. Helens. The obvious is the film crew, Tom, Michael, Thomas, and Ian. Dr. Steven Austin, an incredibly smart geologist, is there as well (in blue).
The other obvious things are the layered canyon walls and the stream.
Here’s what is not obvious.
Even though it might look really old, like a lot o...
I took this picture from Johnson Ridge. It is named after the geologist who was killed in the Mt. St. Helen’s eruption. He was alternating every other day with another geologist taking turns being flown in by helicopter to monitor the mountain. On May 18, 1980, it was his turn and it was to be his last. When the mountain erupted, he radioed his final words: “…this is it.&rdqu...
I am in the state of Washington to film part of a 90-minute documentary that we are nominally calling “Is Genesis History?”
We already filmed one of numerous segments in the dinosaur digs at Hanson Ranch in Wyoming and now we are looking at the incredible destruction and geological formations created rapidly by the volcanic eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980.

The role of media in a culture, especially in our modern world, is difficult to overstate. Quite frankly, it is huge and, I believe, it is THE MOST influential element in our society, bar none. Although it has become a tired cliché in Christian circles to complain about the media, this should not fool us into dismissing the reality of the incredible weight and sway that it carries. And, ...
Jared Fogle, the advertising face of Subway, pled guilty to paying for sex with minors and for possessing child pornography. Both are a crime in this country not only because we find these actions to be unethical, but also because we find that it is in the best interest of our society to have those actions criminalized and subjected to the punishment of the state. Not all unethical actions are ...
A few miles up the road from me, in Lakewood, CO, a baker is fighting for what he believes is morally right. Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, declined to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple in 2013. The gay couple, rather than respecting his beliefs, took him to the authorities, because this isn’t about getting a cake or flowers or photos, this is about forcing you to bow th...
This headline caught my eye. And in the opening paragraph were the shocking statements: “..there are currently 5,800 ancient Greek manuscripts or fragments…almost none of them completely agree with the others…” And then the bold statement that errors found in the manuscripts indicate “deliberate, later insertions that could substantially affect Christian doctrine...
It is past time for those who call upon the Lord, to call upon the Lord.
If God prompts you, let’s take a few minutes to begin to pray together, on Tuesdays at noon, eastern, for repentance and revival in our land. Wouldn't it be something if the totality of God's people were humbling themselves before God together with one voice at the same time all over our land.
It is im...
Our brothers and sisters in China are weeping, yet singing hymns as the government there cracks down on what it sees as a challenge to its authority. Crosses all over Zhejiang Providence are systematically being cut down, with blowtorches and saws. Christians have made appeals and some have even put up a courageous resistance, but in the face of such overwhelming governmental power, the demolit...
