Lives Well Lived

Last week I told you about the tragic deaths of Chad, Andrea, and Merry Freeman, and I wrote what I prayed was a message of hope to their children – a message that they could carry with them through this incredible season of sorrow. But a strange thing occurred to me this past Wednesday night…

Joy Comes in the Morning

Chad Freeman hired me on at Bosch 9 years ago. I worked for him first as an engineer and later as a neighboring department’s group leader supporting his.  During those 9 years, I never heard him speak negatively of anyone. He always chose to see the good in people – never the bad. He was…

Human Suffering and God

The ubiquity of human suffering seems to directly contradict the Christian belief in an all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving God.  Trying to find a “reason” for our pain is an affront to our human conscience.

God’s Existence Is Not Scientific

Atheists often speak in scientific terms to support their view of God’s non-existence.

Faith Instead of Fear

Blessings I sat across from my wife on our sectional sofa. She held our newborn son gently on her chest. His eyes were closed and cheeks smushed in a milk-induced stupor. Tears streamed slowly down her cheeks as she started to speak, “I just don’t know what to do. I’m stressed about the baby. I’m…

Meet an Apologist: Professor John Lennox

John Lennox is a “must-see” for anyone struggling to justify their faith. His training as a professor of mathematics makes him uniquely qualified to tangle with some of the most brilliant minds atheism can bring to bear. The strategies used in his debates with Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens should serve as models for the…

“No Religion”: America’s Fastest-Growing Religion – Part 3

Recap This week, another Christian, whose opinion I hold with the utmost respect, raised a question regarding my line of logic concerning the emergence of life on Earth. He pointed out that a lot of the Christian argument against the spontaneous, undirected, rise of life mistakenly follows this line of thought: 1: X is a…
