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!"

I don't Twitter (or is it tweet?). But I can't claim total purity, since I have facebook, myspace, and I blog. Still, I've been purposefully avoiding the Tweet scene because it seemed to me to represent the worst of the other three. No genuine conversation or community whatsoever, just an endless flow of (mostly trivial) [...]

“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Matthew 5:11-12)

The videos of all speaker addresses and panel discussions from this year's T4G conference are available online for free at Ligonier.org (for a limited time). These conferences are amazing, encouraging (and often humorous) and it would be well worth your time to watch the videos (if you don't have a lot of time, just watch [...]

I did however read the Christianity Today article bearing the same title two years ago, and I’ve seen, heard or read several interviews with the author (here’s a good [...]

Paul Spears compared this masterpiece by Rubens to a portrait of an 18th century man. Both were technically excellent, but the first had substance that the second lacked–passion, a story, something deeper than a semi-narcissistic commissioned portrait.
In the same way, we should not only have the same kind of technical craftsmanship that the great artists [...]

John Mark Reynolds had some good advice about how to not burn out as a blogger. He particularly emphasized the need for us to write less about ourselves and more about external ideas. Begin with an outer focus and then reflect on the inner implications. If we do the opposite, the likely result will be [...]
