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

Tonight's post share comes from a site I've mentioned previously, one that I actually have used quite often over the years. Got Questions does a great job of breaking down answers in a concise and Biblical way, and I found this particular article to be very practical. Spiritual gifts can be something that confuses many, and some tend to either go overboard with the idea or shy away from it altogether. But believers have them, and it's something to look into. God has designe

For the next post share, I actually want to share a video I watched recently. In it, Answers in Genesis Canada's Calvin Smith gives an excellent presentation on why we should trust Scriptures and how those behind science are not neutral towards Scripture or a Biblical worldview. I admit the video is on the longer side, but if it's a choice between that and a 30 minute to an hour show you might watch on TV, consider watching this instead with your family. I believe you'll come

As a person who often deals with anxiety, as well as a sometimes unhealthy introspection on my own failings, it is helpful coming across an article like this from ACBC (Association of Certified Biblical Counselors) Wanting to simply share an article today, I asked a friend of mine to help in the search. In response this was one of their suggestions. But in reading it I'm glad they did. I do hope that this is something that you'll find helpful; if not for yourself, for someon

It's a fair question, one that many people probably would answer with an emphatic "yes!" But what does Scripture say? Well today is going to be another share-a-post day, and I'm sharing this article from Ligonier Ministries. I hope that you find it helpful as you seek to answer that question not just on emotion, but on what God's Word actually says.
