The Truth War
I’m adding one more series to my plate here on this site. As you know I’ve taken a nose dive into the Cedarville conspiracy issue. I’ll give a brief history if for a wrap up. Cedarville has been in the midst of some philosophical controversy over the past 5-6 years, and as a result some Bible professors have been let go, for what has been cited as “violations of the faculty handbook”. These professors are some of the more “Conservative” professors at Cedarville. They stand for conservative hermeneutics. Because these conservative professors have been let go, and because certain other “Liberal” professors have not been let go, there has arisen a group of students, as personified in the Facebook group “Students who want the truth about the faculty exodus away from Cedarville,” who have jumped to the conclusion that Cedarville is intentionally trying to oust its conservative faculty to replace them with liberal faculty so that they can move away from such things as “Conservative Hermeneutics… Biblical Truth… Scriptural Authority… Her Baptist Roots…” Now there are a plethora of issues that surround this. I’ve tackled the logical error that is the assumption of what is going on – the conspiracy theory that has arisen. But now I’m going to get into some other areas of this.
Four Important Questions About Worship
I’m taking a brief detour from my Calvinism discussion for one post because I’m preaching in church tomorrow night, so I posted the gyst of what I’m going to say below. Give me feedback, people :). (PS yes… I know it’s topical. Sue me) 
Tonight I’m going to ask four important questions about worship and hopefully give some answers. The answers I give will be my answers to the questions, and they should line up with the church’s answers. However, the point of this sermon is not so much the answers as it is the questions. It’s very important that you ask these questions of yourself on your own, or in your family. The answers to these questions will have a drastic impact on your life. I think you’ll see that. (more…)
Answers in Genesis Creation Museum
On memorial day, Answers in Genesis is opening its museum in Kentucky (sweet!) and the subject of Mike McConnell’s radio show has been about the fact that there’s a lot of evolutionists protesting the opening of this museum, for reasons you can guess, and McConnell has been coming down on the side of the museum saying that no matter what it’s their constitutional right to have it, no matter what.
So I wrote the following e-mail to McConnell to rebut his callers: (more…)
How Can We Escape Death?
Who’s to blame for the life that tragedies claim?
No matter what you say it won’t take away the pain
That I feel inside, I’m tired of all the lies
Don’t nobody know why
It’s the blind leadin’ the blind.
Guess that’s the way that the story goes,
Will it ever make sense somebody’s gotta know,
There’s gotta be more to life than this,
There’s got to be more to everything

It’s sad to look at the world and see evil. It is heartbreaking to watch and hear about murder and death and violence. It is difficult to formulate an effective response in the face of such terror and horror and loss. Words cannot adequately express the emotion which accompanies these events. Inevitably the questions are raised: How can someone do this? How can God allow such evil? Isn’t God strong enough to prevent this? Who is to blame for this tragedy? (more…)
