Articles & teaching
Every piece here follows the same standard: the objection stated fairly, the texts in context, the evidence with sources, and honest edges named.
How old is the earth? Where Christians divide — and where we don't
Young earth or old earth? Faithful believers read Genesis differently, and we won't pretend otherwise. Both cases from Scripture, stated fairly — plus the line that isn't open for negotiation: you are not an accident.
10The gospel, plainly
No jargon, no fine print, no hoops. What the good news actually is, what it cost, what it promises, and how it becomes yours — from the texts, in plain words.
08From Balfour to Oslo: the documents behind the world's most contested strip of land
Sixty-seven words in 1917 set a century in motion. A document-anchored timeline of modern Israel — what the papers actually say, where historians genuinely disagree, and why a ministry that loves truth reads primary sources instead of shouting matches.
04Israel restored: what 1948 is — and is not — in the prophets
The prophets promise a scattered Israel regathered to her land, and in 1948 a Jewish state stood there again after nineteen centuries. What that event is, what it is not, and why honesty about the difference matters more than a victory lap.
07Salt and light in a shouting age: how a Christian engages culture
Withdraw from the culture, or fuse with a tribe? Scripture refuses both. The pattern of Daniel, Joseph, Paul, and John the Baptist — and the rules this ministry binds itself to whenever it touches politics or culture.
09Can a believer lose their salvation? The verses on both sides, examined
Hebrews 6, John 15, 'fallen from grace' — the hard texts quoted at full strength, the case for eternal security from the nature of the gift, and how the warnings and the promises fit together.
05The Islamic dilemma: what the Qur'an says about the Torah and the Gospel
The Qur'an commands Christians to judge by the Gospel and says none can change God's words — yet Islamic apologetics says the Gospel was corrupted. Both cannot be true, and the manuscripts settle which.
06Where did the rosary come from? Tracing a practice to its sources
Every practice has a history, and history can be traced. The rosary's — from desert pebbles to the Marian Psalter to a fifteenth-century legend — told honestly, sourced from Catholic scholarship itself, and then measured against prayer as Scripture describes it.
10A very present help: where God is when you're in trouble
Not an argument — a hand on the shoulder. What Scripture actually promises the person in crisis: not an explanation, not a schedule, but a God who is near right now, and near especially to the broken.
03Did Jesus rise from the dead? The minimal-facts case
Set aside inspiration, inerrancy, and everything else in dispute. Build only on the handful of facts scholars across the spectrum — including critics — broadly grant, and see which explanation is left standing.
03Can you trust the New Testament? Part 1: The manuscripts
Skeptics say the text was corrupted over centuries of copying. The manuscript evidence says otherwise — and it is not close. What we can actually know about what the apostles wrote.
02Isaiah 53: who is the suffering servant?
Israel, or the Messiah? The most-debated chapter between Judaism and Christianity — read in full, in context, with the ancient Jewish interpretation the objection leaves out.
03Does archaeology confirm the Bible? Ten finds that touch the spade to the text
Kings once dismissed as legend, cities once thought invented, officials the Gospels name — pulled out of the ground. What archaeology can and can't prove, and ten finds that meet the Bible where it makes checkable claims.
03The machine in the cell: does life look designed?
Rotary motors, error-correcting code, and a molecular alphabet — the facts of the living cell are not in dispute. Whether they point to a Designer is the argument. A careful look at the design inference, and where honest people disagree.
03Prophecy fulfilled and prophecy pending: reading the future without the hype
The Bible stakes its credibility on prediction. Some prophecies are clearly fulfilled, some are debated, and some are still ahead — and the difference between sober reading and date-setting sensationalism is a matter of honesty. A classified survey.
