Critical Thinking and Christianity
Posted on May 8, 2018 12 Comments
One of my pet peeves is when Christians are characterized as blind fools who can’t think for themselves. Perhaps this is because I don’t like being insulted in this fashion, but honestly it bothers me more because it simply isn’t true. Not only do I know many incredibly smart and thoughtful believers, but as a […]
Jesus is a Threat

Some people are more honest than others in their rejection of Christianity. In his book Ends and Means, Aldous Huxley gives some insight into his unbelief with shocking openness. He says, “I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning; and consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty […]
Jesus Is Alive, And That Ain’t No Joke!

This year Easter landed on April fools day, a rare occurrence that is set to happen again 11 years from now. For Christians, the coincidence is looked on with a bit of humour, spawning a few comical memes such as this one: For skeptics, it’s an opportunity to poke fun at the Christian faith, seeing […]
How to Tap In to God’s Power

Human beings are frail and weak. We are creatures marked by limitations that often frustrate us. Our ability to grow and do things eventually hits a cap where we can go no further, and we are painfully aware of this reality when the circumstances and troubles of life overwhelm us. Yet many of us yearn […]
Paul’s Ministry Team

The apostle Paul is a big deal in Christianity. He was hand-selected by Jesus to be an apostle to the Gentiles, wrote 13 books of the Bible, and is credited as being the most prolific missionary in the history of the Church. The only thing that seemed to match his productivity and zeal for the […]
Resurrection: Reasonable or Ridiculous?
Posted on April 16, 2017 Leave a Comment
One of the core things I believe as a Christian is that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. This claim is central to the faith and absolutely necessary to the Christian gospel. Without the resurrection of Jesus, our Savior is still dead and so is any hope of forgiveness of sin or life beyond the […]
4 Kinds of Churches
Posted on November 29, 2016 Leave a Comment
Churches come in all shapes, styles, and sizes, and we should not judge churches based on such trivial matters as these. But that is not to say that all churches are equal. Quite the contrary, not all churches are equal, as can be seen by reading Jesus’ scathing reviews of seven churches in Revelation 2 and […]
The 12 Works of Jesus
Posted on June 30, 2016 Leave a Comment
When people talk about the core of Christianity, the phrase that is sometimes used to describe it is “the person and work of Jesus”. The person of Jesus refers to who he is (son of God, Messiah, Redeemer), while the work of Jesus refers to what he has done. Though more could be added, here are […]
What Would It Take to Worship Your Brother As God?
Posted on March 22, 2016 Leave a Comment
I grew up with three brothers – one older and two younger. If you have siblings, you can imagine what it was like for four boys (and two girls) to share a house together. There were times when things got pretty crazy! We didn’t always get along, but in the end we still love each other […]

By now you have probably seen the moving video of NBA coach and former player Monty Williams giving a eulogy at his wife Ingrid’s celebration of life ceremony, after she died tragically in a car accident, leaving behind 5 children. If not, it’s a worthwhile few minutes of your time: The powerful message of hope […]
