J. Warner Wallace has done it again by creating a top quality book in Christian apologetics (a.k.a Christian case-making according to Wallace). As I’ve mentioned before, J. Warner Wallace is a former cold-case homicide detective from Los Angeles county in California. I’m also pleased to call him a friend. He is the author of other…
U2’s lead singer, Bono, is not necessarily someone who I would look to as a perfect theologian; however, I wouldn’t hesitate to classify him as two things: a Christian & an artist. I thoroughly enjoy his band’s music and have personally been to three U2 concerts (including once practically first row on the floor!). Not…
It’s easy to lose heart in the midst of battle. When the enemy surrounds you and all hope seems to be lost, there is a consistent rallying cry throughout the Bible towards Christians in wartime living: Stand Firm! Temptation comes to retreat and abandon your position in the faith. Times are tough and you want…
Many people have made a distinction between head knowledge and heart knowledge. Head knowledge is typically seen as an impersonalized knowledge of facts, information, figures, etc. Whereas heart knowledge is generally seen as something a person feels and reacts to. Who decided to separate the two? I contend that head knowledge is heart knowledge and…
Jesus figuratively spoke about Christians being sheep and Himself being the Good Shepherd. This is a nice picture of the Christian life that many are drawn to which indicates how much God loves them. However, I wonder how many people ever consider that John 10 (where Jesus mainly uses this figure of speech) touches upon…
I remember accompanying J Warner Wallace on a speaking tour in the Vancouver, Canada area in 2013. One event that stands out to this day was an event called “Standing Strong.” This event was organized to encourage parents to train their youth in apologetics. Unfortunately, I have not been able since then to locate the…
There is a theory about organizations, workplaces, and churches which is called the Pareto Principle or, more simply, the 80/20 rule. The theory is that there is either 80% of the people doing 20% of the work, or there is 20% of the people doing 80% of the work. Does this rule apply to apologetics…
Even though Christians and Muslims disagree on a number of major issues, there are areas where we can learn from each other. As I have stressed elsewhere, just because two groups of people disagree, doesn’t mean they need to hate each other. In my previous post, we discussed what Christians can learn from Muslims in…
Even though Christians and Muslims disagree on a number of major issues, there are areas where we can learn from each other. As I have stressed elsewhere, just because two groups of people disagree, doesn’t mean they need to hate each other. As a Christian, I have a great respect for my Muslim friends and…
I’ve never smoked anything before. There are a number of reasons for this. One reason is that I never grew up in a family of smokers. Another reason is that I was educated quite young on the dangers of smoking and I heeded the warnings. Another reason is that I was an ice hockey player…
