Thoughts on Ravi Zacharias

There aren’t too many people who are known simply by their first name. Ravi is one of them. He is gone now, but instead of leaving a legacy of great work, we are left with worse than nothing. An independent investigation by the law firm, Miller and Martin, through sufficient interviews and examination of cell phone photos and messages, concluded that Ravi engaged in extended sexual mis...

7 Threats in Our Times: (#5) Rise of a Demonic Worldview and the National Rift

It is dangerous to ignore the reality of Satan and his forces. I am NOT a person who sees a demon behind every bush, but to run to the other side of the continuum and act as if there is no spiritual warfare is folly and contrary to plain biblical teaching. We forget this to our peril: “I am certain that one of the main causes for the ill-state of the church today lies in the fact th...

The Violence of the Pre-Flood World

I just returned from a filming trip with Dr. Marcus Ross. We met at the 50-acre Discovery Park of America in Union City, Tennessee. If you ever find yourself near there, it would be worth visiting. Although there are exhibits in many different areas, our interest was in the natural history section with full skeletons of very diverse creatures from T-Rex to Apatosaurus, from Pterosaurs to the Wo...

 (#18) The Early Resurrection Creed

When we come to the apologetic or defense against the argument that the resurrection is merely legend or myth, there are two key elements that must be well understood. The first is the “resurrection polemic” and the second is the “early resurrection creed”. We looked at the resurrection polemic last time. Now, we want to examine the early resurrection creed. Here it is:...

Take Heart: "...I have left for Myself a remnant..."

One of the most fascinating stories in the Bible is one that has a bunch of “greatests” in it, including Elijah’s greatest moment of triumph, immediately followed by his greatest moment of despair and self-centeredness. Israel was battling one of the greatest lies of its day, but it was losing the battle and had gotten deeply caught up in it. Isaiah 44:20 equates the idol t...

Socialism (2): Marx and Pandora’s Box

One of the most identifiable elements of Greek mythology is “Pandora’s Box”. The original Greek word is “jar”, but somehow “Pandora’s Jar” doesn’t sound right. We might be more descriptive if we called it Pandora’s Pit. In the briefest of summaries, Pandora opened up what she shouldn’t have and out came evil of all sorts… ...

7 Threats in Our Times: (#7) The Attack Upon the Biblical Family

Of all the social institutions designed by God, I suppose none is under greater attack than the family. This shouldn’t surprise us, for destroying relationships is the ultimate scheme of Satan and it is here we find the most intimate. Indeed, it seems that the entirety of the world, the flesh and the enemy are today aligned against the biblical family. And the family is the heart of a cul...

Lamb

“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29 [preface] I find it fascinating that the very first description of Jesus, as He was beginning His ministry here on earth, is that He was declared to be the “Lamb of God”. For us today, the imagery provokes something soft and huggable. My granddaughter has a fluffy lamb doll. We have several...

If Jesus Rose from the Dead, then (#23) Satan Was Crushed

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall crush your head, and you shall bruise His heel. Genesis 3:15 Here was the situation. God had created the most amazing place. We can’t really imagine it. There was no death. There was no evil. Everything flourished. Then Adam and Eve breached the one boundary God had set for them and everythi...

The Q Narrative

Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. 1 John 3:13 The following is a commentary that I submitted to our local paper, The Gazette Telegraph. The context for my commentary was the mass shooting that occurred on November 19, 2022 at Club Q in Colorado Springs and the immediate narrative that became prominent in the newspapers, local and national. Five people were killed and...
