Ah, Science As I mentioned two days ago, some Christian scholars claim they’re simply following the “science” when it comes to how old our universe/world is. They claim the “science” points to an old earth fashioned over billions of years, and that we should adhere to that “science,” leave Genesis alone, and just preach the Gospel. And yet! “Science” will also say that the supernatural doesn’t exist, thus a non-existent God cannot become a man. “Science” will say that a virgin cannot become pregnant; that miracles don’t happen; that dead men can’t come back to life. So, why are we told to...…Ah, Science As I mentioned two days ago, some Christian scholars claim they’re simply following the “science” when it comes to how old our universe/world is.

If you've missed my previous posts, you can find them here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 Why Belief in Genesis as Literal History is Important Yesterday I fully recognized that one can believe in evolution and believe in Jesus Christ as his/her Savior and Lord. But did you know that belief in macro/Darwinian evolution rather than a six-day creation is one of the main reasons why many people over the last few decades, especially today’s youths, have walked away from and continue to walk away from the Christian faith? By my own off-the-cuff, devil’s advocate-type questions and reasoning, I’ve shown...…If you've missed my previous posts, you can find them here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 Why Belief in Genesis as Literal History is Important Yesterday I fully recognized that one can believe in evolution and believe in Jesus Christ as his/her Savior and Lord.

So, as much as I anticipate this corner of the year, it sneaks up on me every time. At least, it does in terms of the marketing I’m “supposed” to be doing to help my book sales. 🫣 In August, few people want to hear about Christmas and Christmas books, but all of a sudden, the beginning of October comes along and new Christmas releases happen on a daily basis over on Amazon. Not that I’m complaining. I’m just not ready with my own announcements to add. Sigh. And as much as I’m trying to get into a better habit of sending out author newsletters on a more regular basis (um, the definition of...…So, as much as I anticipate this corner of the year, it sneaks up on me every time.

You’re at the airport. The check-in clerk says you can’t board the plane. The airline staff refuses to let you on the flight.That’s exactly what happened to me at the Kathmandu Airport in Nepal. It was at 10 pm at night, my Nepal visa was expiring, and I had no hotel booked. It’s a shocking, crazy feeling! What do you do when they don’t let you on the plane?Whether you’re trying to get home or prepared to fly somewhere you’re scared-to-go-but-desperate-to-see (I thought I was on my way to Varanasi, India), you may feel lost, alone, and scared. “Humans make plans, and God chuckles,” is what...…You’re at the airport.

If getting divorced makes you feel like a failure, you’re not alone. Some of us feel so bad about ourselves after a divorce, we can’t even say the word “divorce.”I grew up in the 70s, when being the product of a “broken home” was something to be ashamed of. Things are a lot different now, but I still feel bad about divorce! Growing up in the church doesn’t help. In fact, being a Christian makes many people feel even worse about getting divorced – which is why I wrote What Does Jesus Say About Divorced Christians and Remarriage?If you feel bad about yourself because you’re divorced – or if...…If getting divorced makes you feel like a failure, you’re not alone.
