What is truly at the root of what we…and others… believe? How do we determine that we know something to be truth? Far from being an “ivory tower” topic, presuppositional apologetics is a fascinating and practical concept that affects our thinking every day. An understanding of this subject helps us to better understand our faith and equips us to communicate God’s Truth to others. Come out and bring a friend for a great time of Read more…
Thanks to John Lofton’s presentation of last month, I was encouraged to participate in the God and Government project that was the subject of that meeting. So, last Tuesday evening (13 May), I took the opportunity to make a 3 minute presentation to my local Brecknock Township Board of Supervisors. It definitely was not an earth-shaking event. However, after thanking the board for the opportunity to address them, I was able to present the Christian Read more…
What is the basis of good and bad behavior? How do we know? Would you like to understand more about God’s covenants? God’s covenants receive too little recognition and consideration in today’s church, despite their critical importance and key role in understanding our relationship to Him. Through this month’s lecture you will learn foundational truths about how God communicates His Truth to us and how we respond. Come out and bring a friend for a Read more…

Back in March and April of 2013 our topic was “The Biblical Doctrine of Self Defense”. We learned that because the responsibility to keep and bear arms is God-given, no one except God can withdraw or limit their use. Christians were given the responsibility to keep and bear arms long before the ratification of the Constitution (See Psalm 149:6-9). We asked the question: Is state licensing (permission) required to perform God-given responsibilities? Even though the Read more…
Last minute change to our February Biblical Worldview Lecture!
This was the opposite of all those “What were you doing when John Kennedy was shot?” or “Where were you when you found out about the Twin Towers?” questions. This is more like “What do you wish you would have been doing instead of dragging your formerly conscious brain through that culturally iconic snorefest now only dimly remembered as Super Bowl XLVIII (I think that’s ‘Super Bowl 48’—if anyone remembers or cares by now). So Read more…
No, we’re not talking about someone who takes a wild guess at some unusual thing that’s supposed to happen sometime in the future. We are talking about someone who, as far back as the 1960’s looked ahead and saw the disastrous course on which our nation had set itself. Author of over 30 books, and sometimes called the father of the Christian and Homeschool movements, R. J. Rushdoony (1916-2001) was a man who Read more…
On a late summer outing to Ocean City, NJ, my wife and I spent the evening on the boardwalk. One of our stops was Mia’s Christmas Gallery, a store loaded with practically anything to do with Christmas. A very nice place. It was hard not to notice the nice atmosphere, and that the customers all seemed to be relaxed and in a good humor. Christmas does that to people. Of course I had no way Read more…
OK, I just saw the Big Deal. That is, the Movie That Everyone’s Talking About: Gravity. I hated it. I get it that it seems like everyone just loves this movie including plenty of hopeful (if not completely deluded) Christian reviewers. And, I get it that the effects are powerful, and the scenes spectacular. Especially when you view it in 3-D. Which only makes it worse. This movie takes rebellion against the Sovereign Lord to Read more…
