Why I believe in a young earth

January 30, 2008 | 10 Comments

We studied creation last night, as we are starting an overview or a survey of the Old Testament in our home group. When preparing for the study, I looked in depth at some arguments for an old earth in Genesis 1. One of the interesting threads I looked at was this one. I have no [...]

Why evidence is not necessary to rationally believe

January 26, 2008 | 10 Comments

In a previous post I stated that I didn’t need evidence to support my beliefs. This caused a bit of a stir with some atheists, so I thought I’d explain why I said this (even though I’m sure that few if any atheist will still be reading this blog). First up, I’m not saying that [...]

Some musings on atheism

January 22, 2008 | 31 Comments

Yesterday I listened to some of the diatribe on youtube that has been put out by the atheist community, and wanted to put down a couple of thoughts. The key thing that struck me about Richard Dawkins and his attacks on scripture is that his entire point of view values mankind above all else. All [...]

Samson – a lesson in life positions

January 17, 2008 | 0 Comments

I’ve just finished reading the story of Samson in Judges, if you haven’t read it, it is a good read and it really highlights the grace of God and the fact that leaders (spiritual or otherwise) get their positions not by their skills or any other thing they have but by the grace of God. [...]

Patterns in movies

January 8, 2008 | 0 Comments

I’ve had some nagging concerns about movies for ages, and so I thought I’d follow my previous post with some of my concerns. I remember when I was a kid there was a gag going around where you told someone to say "toast" 10 times quickly. Then you ask them what you put in a [...]

Hollywood and God

January 6, 2008 | 0 Comments

If you love the Lord and have a weakness for movies, the videos on this site should be helpful. Personally, my family has found this challenging, and this site was a great way to get us over the edge and dealing with our problem error. For us the thing that locked it was that if [...]

Anti-Islamic websites

January 3, 2008 | 0 Comments

Islam watch is a web site that is run by ex-Muslims and runs with the mission of fighting against the resurgence of Islam and contributing to its eventual demise. It is the second largest web site run by ex-Muslims, just behind faithfreedom.org. While I’m sure these sites are not Christian (and may in fact be [...]

Summer Listening – Jesus on the cross

January 1, 2008 | 0 Comments

I was walking along the beach a couple of days ago and I was listening to this sermon while I was walking. If you want a refresher of what Jesus went through on the cross, why we have the cross as a symbol of Christ and what Jesus accomplished on the cross, then you should [...]
