I was raised in a Christian home my entire life. I cannot remember a time when I was not in church as a child. This was both a great testament to the Faith and dedication of my parents, but also a hindrance to my own spiritual growth. I cannot remember the date that I got… Continue reading Improve Your Bible Study in 6 Easy Steps

He (sorry, but I am assigning a gender here) is depicted as a massive sea creature – often a serpent. Leviathan is also the… Continue reading Is Leviathan a Dinosaur?
Gods of the New Age

I’m working on a much larger version of it, but I would like to gauge interest… Continue reading Gods of the New Age
My Weakness. My Strength.
I am usually not one to speak of my health. As a guy who spend over a decade earning money based on strength and toughness in the roofing industry, hiding my pain has been something that I have become accustomed to. However, as I get older, I realize more and more that many of us… Continue reading My Weakness. My Strength.
Of Devils and Fallen Angels
Many Christians believe that the “devils” and “fallen angels” are the same beings. They all follow Satan and seem to have a desire to harass humans in a number of ways.

The Mathematical Case for the Flood
If evolutionists are correct and modern man evolved 500,000 years ago (some would go back as far as 2,000,000 BC), at a population growth rate of 0.01%, there would have been approximately 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that is 2 with 43 zeroes) people on the Earth by the time Christ was born. Keep in mind that evolutionists would… Continue reading The Mathematical Case for the Flood

An Ode to Suffering
One year ago from today, I was living in Las Vegas pursuing a Ph.D. while my wife was working her way up through the casino industry. She was beloved at work and was in line for a better position. We lived in a reasonable home with reliable transportation - we just took out a loan… Continue reading An Ode to Suffering
The True Freedom of Religion

Many modern churches have also begun to sing this refrain as they attempt to abandon “legalism,” which they mostly define as rigid rules put in place by churches on music and attire (this is not true legalism, but difference in preference as I… Continue reading The True Freedom of Religion
