The Million Dollar Parenting Question

Dr. Juli Slattery called me promptly at 9am. She’s working on a parenting DVD series for Focus on the Family and wanted me to be a part of it. I was delighted with her first question: “When it comes to the very practical issue of raising children, why do you think a biblical worldview is [...]

Compromise or Bribery?

When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as judges for Israel…But his sons did not walk in his ways. They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice. 1 Samuel 8:1,3
My old 1828 Webster Dictionary defines the word “bribe” this way:
“A price, reward, gift or favor bestowed or promised with [...]

Blessing and Curses: Response to Gus

Gus wrote this:
I am troubled by the premise of your new show that in stories filled with pain and pathology—things just aren’t working very well—it is most likely because of defying God’s design and when things are going well it is most likely because of an alignment “with” God’s design. In my understanding this is [...]

Fellowship at the Maroon Bells

“May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me…” John 17:23

The Maroon Bells are still ringing in my mind! Spending time in the mountains and seeing the exquisite grandeur of the creation always moves me. The Rockies never disappoint, either…and I never tire of experiencing them. Seeing the [...]

Reflecting on Reflecting

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Cor 3:18

I am writing this late at night—still overwhelmed by the glory that was on display before me today. I had the deep privilege of [...]

A New Television Program: Cross Examine

One of the more serious consequences of relativism and postmodern thought, is the disconnection to any “larger story” or metanarrative. It shrinks us into our own little story and cuts us off from any real meaningful relationships. Everything becomes isolated and atomized. We get lost in our own little world and our own little script. [...]

TrueU Filming—Last Day

Our last day of filming brought us to the New Testament. It too, is under great attack. One of the most notable came in the form of a best-selling book and later a movie: “The DaVinci Code”, where much of the teaching and the historicity of the New Testament is turned on its head or [...]

TrueU Filming—Thursday

“Now, for you students who have been raised on the Bible, I hate to burst your bubble. For a divinely inspired document, it certainly gets a lot, if not all, of its historical facts wrong. David, for example, is portrayed to be a mighty king. The reality is, according to Finkelstein and other prominent archeologists, [...]

TrueU Filming—Wednesday

One of the major attacks that a student will be confronted with in the university classroom is the argument that no rational person can still hold to the notion that God exists.
The first 10 lessons were dedicated to build the case that an honest evaluation of the evidence from cosmology, physics and biology should [...]

TrueU Filming—Monday & Tuesday

“…men…suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are [...]
