Having grown up with classic Star Wars and Star Trek, I've always been somewhat of a Sci-Fi geek. But as it turns out, reality is stranger than fiction. So can we actually travel through time? Well, no, not exactly. But the concepts of time dilation, relativity, and other very sci-fi-esque concepts are apparently real, and yes they fit within a Christian worldview. In this article , Dr. Jason Lisle explains some of the concepts surrounding time and space, and it is definitely

A couple days ago I shared the biggest influences I've theologically, and then a video from Todd Friel about Ray Comfort (two of my biggest influencers). So today I'm going to share something from my third mention, R.C. Sproul. I would argue that one of his greatest contributions in terms of messages is his series on the holiness of God. Instead of pick out a single message to share, I commend to you the entire series. They're not long messages, and he is so easy to listen to

I really like this idea that Todd Friel had for this video. So often we don't think to encourage and honor those in our lives who have impacted us in certain ways. In this, he mentions how Ray Comfort has been a major influence in his life as well as ministry partner; he shares many great stories and speaks to Mr. Comfort's character. I hope you'll enjoy this video . I know it's a bit longer, but I trust you'll find it encouraging and a blessing! I know Ray Comfort has hugely

Well happy Monday all. For today's share we have a video from Fortis Institute discussing something that, quite frankly, I hadn't put too much thought into. Even still, after watching, I found it to be a very interesting topic, and one I hope you'll find helpful! Here is the video here .

I have few words to say, as while I know today is normally a day I write a blog, I came across an article that I felt is more important to share. Though somewhat familiar with the story, I did not realize that today was the anniversary of the death of missionary Jim Elliot. While I could try to write something useful in relation, instead I'm going to share this article from The Gospel Coalition. He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to that which he cannot lose - Jim E

While a bit heady, this is a really fascinating article discussing the history behind stellar astronomy (a branch of astronomy dealing with stars and suns). It's amazing to think that our current understanding of stars has really only been fully accepted for a few hundred years, that is the heliocentric view (that the universe does not revolve around the earth), as opposed to the geocentric (that everything revolves around the earth). Why's all this important? I believe firs

I've been blessed greatly to be able to teach and help out with youth ministries over the years, it's something I really enjoy. These young people, especially nowadays, go through so much and are confronted by so much opposition to the Bible and the true gospel. These are reasons that Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen A, especially, are suffering with such amounts of depression and anxiety. The world will always bring us down, and if we aren't founding our lives on the true gospel,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I just watched this compelling video from Fortis Institute where Todd Friel answers a variety of questions from students at OSU. The first question definitely hits hard and is one that is important to be able to answer and discuss from a Biblical framework, but all of the questions and answers I found helpful and worth sharing with you all. I hope you'll find it as interesting and helpful.

History was never a strong suit for me. Even to this day I struggle with a lot of simple dates for events. But as I get older I seem to be becoming more like my dad, who absolutely loves history. Perhaps it's due to a Christian worldview. Well, I believe that is the case actually. And as Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson shows in this video (among many others that are well worth the viewing), a Biblical worldview actually helps us better understand history. I've thought the Meso-America

The content share for today comes from Answers in Genesis . As with so many of the topics I share, it's one I truly desire to understand better. Genetics, DNA, and the like, are so fascinating, especially when you approach them with a Biblical eye. What variety God has put in His creation. Yet, as with so much, mankind likes to try to remove Him, and in doing so are left with having to come up with answers to the how and why of things. Of course, the reality is God made it a

A number of years ago a friend of mine sent me this clip from Wretched Radio (now part of Fortis Institute). I was familiar with the style of gospel presentation itself from Ray Comfort, but I thought this was a great use of it. You can really tell both Todd's concern for the truth, as well as his genuine care for these two young men and their salvation. It's one of my favorite clips from Wretched, and I hope you'll enjoy it as well!

In a slight breach of etiquette I'm posting a blog share on Thursday instead of Friday this week. Long day, headache, and limited time, lends itself to letting you read someone else's work, which will be much more helpful for you than what I'm able to present tonight; not to be too whiny. That all said it should be a helpful article that deals with the idea of wasteful thinking. What should we put out minds to and how are we to take captive our thoughts for eternal purposes?

For today's post share, I'm sharing this article from Dr. Jason Lisle on the human eye. It's really an amazing part of God's creation. As a photographer I see just how crazy good cameras have gotten; between megapixel count, the speed they can take images, A.I., etc. Yet despite that, the human eye still remains infinitely more advanced than any camera. Evolution can't explain it, though they say they can. But Dr. Lisle will explain it much better than I can. I hope you'll e

A friend of mine shared this clip from Wretched/Fortis about nose rings and tattoos. If you're reading this, I take it you have an opinion on the issue one way or the other. I for myself know I certainly do. But regardless of those views, I think this is a helpful look at not just those issues but a deeper issue of Christian love and consideration. Do I fully agree with every single thing Mr. Friel shares in this video? Well, this post isn't the time or place that I desire t

Friday's share is a pretty deep article, but fitting for our discussion this week. We're going to look today at how we view the world itself; that is, how do we understand truth and reality itself? It's a big word that I'm going to let the author from Answers in Genesis explain, because I myself will do a terrible job at it. This article is the first of I'm not sure how many as it is ongoing, but I hope you will find it helpful especially in dealing with how we can approach

As we continue our theme of Theology and its affect on our worldview, todays post share deals with using theology in the area of mental health, specifically dealing with 'triggers'. I know that mental health is a touchy issue; I myself admit my own struggles in this area. But Scripture is once again our guide, and may God help us to use it practically in how we approach issues, including tough ones like mental issues. So, I hope you will find this an interesting read , and wh

At the risk of sharing too many of Tim Challies blogs, I am once again doing so. But I hope, if he notices, that he will forgive that, for firstly I think this article is eye-opening and a helpful read. But also because I'm continuing "themes" for November and this week is how theology shapes our world view in different areas. His article on what is really assisted suicide is a humbling look into what is sadly a very real and growing concern. While it hasn't taken hold in the

In looking for a share for this weeks theme, I came across this article by Tim Challies. I'll admit I found it a tad convicting as well. I can safely, and perhaps sadly say, that a large chunk of my theology has developed because of insights and resources that I found through other sites and sources more so than a lot of what I have learned in church. I am incredibly thankful that God in His providence led me to safe and sound websites and used these resources to develop my

For Wednesday's share I wanted to share this video , another from Answers in Genesis Canada. This time, the newest in their series "A Talk With Grok". It ties in with the theme this week dealing with the concepts of truth as well as how it ties with A.I. and technology. I personally shy away from using these A.I. chat bots, but understand they can have a place in our life. That said, it's a really interesting "conversation" showing the legitimacy of the creationist argument a

For Monday's blog share is an article from ACBC again, this time on speaking truth in love to others, specifically in regards to confrontation. It's a really tough thing to do, but Biblical. For me the difficulty is in the balance I think. It's easy to speak truth harshly to someone, and it's easy to speak to someone in a way that's gentle and non-confrontational. But to speak truth (the full truth), while also being compassionate is a difficult balance to strike. But I found
