*If you have not watched the final episode of LOST and don’t want to know how it ends, do not continue reading* Overall, I believe LOST’s narrative narrowly survives the weaknesses of its unsolved mysteries. We are left with nagging questions, even after the bonus epilogue found on the season 6 DVD. But the most [...]

*If you have not watched the final episode of LOST and don’t want to know how it ends, do not continue reading* “The mystery box… stays closed.” The LOST island had mystery boxes everywhere, and the island itself was a mystery box. Some of these boxes were torn open and examined, such as Dharma. Others [...]

This is the first poem I’m written in a few years. It’s not very sophisticated, but I think it works. “On Distant Shores” is a phrase that teases my imagination. It conjures in my mind thoughts of Aslan’s Country in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. What lies beyond that shoreline? One day we shall [...]

Many of you are likely well aware of former coach John Wooden, who passed away just over a week ago. Wooden’s favorite poem was “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” by Thomas Gray. After hearing this referenced a few times I made a point of looking it up. It’s certainly worth a read. Here’s an [...]

In this video, shot this past Sunday, the couple details how they decided to adopt after a miscarriage and how Melody’s pacemaker [...]

Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah; and they said to him…”Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations.” So Samuel spoke all the words of the Lord to the people who had asked of him a king. He said, “This will be [...]

About: In 2003 I graduated from high school with no set direction for my life. I spent a year in Iowa before returning to California to attend Junior College. I changed majors 3 times; from Physics to Business to Film (as you can see, no direction). I was a Christian, attending church regularly, but furthering the cause of Christ in this fallen world was not a high priority.
In 2005 I picked up an issue of TableTalk magazine, and I was re-introduced to the work of R. C. Sproul (whom I had read once in high school). Later that year, while taking a biology class with an ardent atheist professor, I picked up a copy of Lee Strobel's "The Case For A Creator." In the Fall of 2006 I came to Biola University and was introduced to the works of J. P. Moreland and John Mark Reynolds. My fate was sealed.
Just a few years ago, I was passionless. Now I have two passions: Studying the Word of God and engaging in the task of Apologetics. 1 Peter 3:15 exhorts all Christians to be ready to give an answer for the hope that we have. My goal is to be able to give my answer articulately and powerfully, but even more importantly, in love. There are many purposes for apologetics, but by far the most important is the opening of minds and the softening of hearts for the work of the Holy Spirit. If we don't care about and pray for those with whom we engage in apologetics, we fail to fulfill this purpose. As a wise man once said, "Take a stand for the Truth, but do it in love fool!"

The Wallstreet Journal has a story about a congregation of Anglicans in D. C. who are moving back to Rome, but retaining some of the “flavor” of their traditional Episcopalian worship. This is made possible by the Roman Catholic church, which recently began to work actively toward providing an official way for Anglican congregations to [...]

I saw a disturbing play last weekend. It was disturbing because it spoke the truth about the condition of man. Extinction is the story of two men who, for a decade since their friendship began in college, have met annually in Atlantic City to revel in all the drugs, gambling, and women the city has [...]

Looking around at many of the church buildings and facilities standing today, it seems that they either had not the money or interest in using architecture for more than building a roof. In fact, some church buildings are down right ugly, and one has to wonder what message these buildings communicate to the community around [...]
