A person can neither prove nor disprove the existence of God. What a person with a biblical worldview can do is provide evidence for God’s existence. And there’s plenty of it. Cosmology, teleology, RNA/DNA, human consciousness, just to name a few, all provide hard scientific evidence for a Creator. Further, the historical reliability of the … Continue reading The Reason for God

The Resurrection’s Impact on a Brilliant (now former) Atheist
Below is an article penned by Oxford professor, Alister McGrath. McGrath is a brilliant intellectual, holding a doctorate in theology as well as a Ph.D. in molecular biophysics. (Ever heard the myopic lie about the Christian faith being solely for the intellectually weak? It's actually the intellectually weak who perpetuate this mockery.) The article was … Continue reading The Resurrection’s Impact on a Brilliant (now former) Atheist
The Old Rugged Cross
NOTE: I wrote this four months after finding my 19 year old son after he'd taken his own life... There have been moments these past months that I've wanted to give up on God. I'm simply being honest. As one who grew up in a violent, alcoholic home, I witnessed more violence as a child … Continue reading The Old Rugged Cross
The Faith of Christianity vs. the Faith of Atheism
I saw the following quote posted in a "proof for the existence of God" debate recently. I thought it was a very kind and thought-provoking response: "...to believe there is no God, or to lack belief in a God, still requires faith. You have to trust that the arguments of natural theology are false. You … Continue reading The Faith of Christianity vs. the Faith of Atheism
Pascal’s Wager
When we die, what do you think is on the other side? (good question) Recently, I read a story of a son (a Christian) asking his father (not a Christian) if he ever worried about what happens after we die. “The next life?” the father said. “I’ll worry about that when I get there!” But, … Continue reading Pascal’s Wager
“How I Almost Lost the Bible”
This brief story represents precisely why I am pursuing a Masters Degree in Apologetics. Like Dr. Thornbury, the story's author, "I [have] covenanted with God to help people like the 18-year-old version of [Dr. Thornbury] —people who are on the boundary of leaving the church, and are looking for just one good reason to stay. … Continue reading “How I Almost Lost the Bible”
Atheism Failed Me
Allow me to begin by saying those who hold to an atheistic worldview are precious in the sight of God. I have friends who are atheists. And I love them deeply. This is, in no way, a personal attack on those who hold to atheism. You won't find any snide remarks or insults in this … Continue reading Atheism Failed Me
Atheism Failed Me
You know - I tried to disprove the existence of God - immediately after finding my 19-year-old son dead in his bedroom from suicide. I looked at the most recent, most compelling evidence to make God sound like a ludicrous alternative. I looked at the best arguments from the best atheists, both in modern & … Continue reading Atheism Failed Me
What Atheists Wish Christians Knew About Them
In light of various quote/articles/thoughts i post regarding arguments for the existence of God, I thought this video clip was a wonderful resource for remembering that "atheists" are, first of all, people. And, in many way, just like you and me. Neil Carter is a high school Geometry teacher, a tutor, a swim coach, a … Continue reading What Atheists Wish Christians Knew About Them
How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind
British philosopher, Antony Flew, was the 20th century’s champion of atheism. When atheists couldn’t answer an argument, or felt they were losing ground, they would call on Flew. But then Flew, a genuine and honest thinker, made a decision that shocked the atheistic world – he changed his mind. The evidence for the existence of … Continue reading How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind
