CAN SOMETHING COME FROM NOTHING?: Teaching Intelligent Design to Children

Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species in 1859 and set forth his theory that all living organisms, including humans descended from a single primordial form.

Indeed, evolutionary theory teaches that man isContinue reading “CAN SOMETHING COME FROM NOTHING?: Teaching Intelligent Design to Children”

THE WORKS OF JONATHAN EDWARDS: Discourse on the Trinity – Volume 21

DISCOURSE ON THE TRINITY Jonathan Edwards usually does not waste time in getting to his point. This work is no exception.

THE EROSION OF THE CHRISTIAN MIND

Erosion occurs in the Christian mind when we do not carefully evaluate the propositions that bombard us. And make no mistake. The mental assault is relentless and subtle. For instance, consider one of the central statements in the movie, Megamind – “Destiny is not the path given to us but the path we choose forContinue reading “THE EROSION OF THE CHRISTIAN MIND”
