Today is the big 2-5-0 for William Wilberforce. He’s been one of my most favorite people ever since I read his book, A Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians, in the Higher and Middle Classes in This Country, Contrasted with Real Christianity (1797). Okay, yes, they had long titles back then. [...]

First, a specification: this post is intended for Christians, specifically those Christians who are struggling with the issue of faith and reason. Not that it wouldn’t be instructive (hopefully) for our non-Christian readers, but I will be speaking in a way that presupposes a Christian commitment to the God of the Bible and to the [...]

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!"

Casper the Friendly Ghost. The title seems a bit like an oxymoron. Ghosts, after all, are not friendly. The same is often said of John Calvin. He was the “tyrant of Geneva.” He was the father of the “frozen chosen.” However, according to Dr. Robert Godfrey, President of Westminster Seminary California, Calvin was a lot [...]

“The stage was set,
the lights went down and in a suburban Japanese primary school everyone
prepared to enjoy a performance of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The
only snag was that the entire cast was playing the part of Snow White. For
the audience of menacing mothers and feisty fathers, though, the sight
of 25 Snow Whites, no [...]
