A Matter of Matter
May 07, 2013 - In Defense of the Faith
Matter is defined (at least by science) as everything that has mass and occupies space. Translation: everything you see. (And some of what you don’t.) So you’re an expert on matter! But what you might not know about matter is this: it’s a mystery. We really don’t know why it exists at all.

Against the Grain
May 01, 2013 - In Defense of the Faith
In ancient Roman times, if one wanted to be a good, moral, citizen, one worshipped and paid homage to the gods and to Caesar. What initially brought the ire of the Roman government down upon the early Church was its refusal to do either.

The Offensive Cross
March 26, 2013 - In Defense of the Faith
Remember that hymn, the Old Rugged Cross? Millions of Christians have sung that song since it was written in 1913, and when we sang ''I love that old cross, I’ll cherish the cross, I cling to the cross'', we meant it. But that was then. And, unfortunately, this is now.

Castles in the Sand
March 04, 2013 - In Defense of the Faith
With all governmental power grabs and eroding Constitutional rights as of late, many Christians are wondering what to think and what to do in these days of growing uncertainty.

The Performer
March 01, 2013 - In Defense of the Faith
"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." (Romans 11:25)

Safe Bet
January 30, 2013 - In Defense of the Faith
There's no shortage of armchair critics out there whose mission in life is to point out all the supposed errors in the Bible, and the churches response is generally to circle the wagons. But a circle isn't a defense of the faith. As it turns out, actually, it's a reason for faith.

Got Milk?
January 23, 2013 - In Defense of the Faith
If I said, I'm going to study the Bible 'till the cows come home', would you look for a herd of longhorns? No! It's an idiom, a phrase that says one thing but is understood to mean something else. The same thing could be said about ''Bible Study''. And that does involve cows.

Looking for God in all the Wrong Places
January 17, 2013 - In Defense of the Faith
The creation account in Genesis is a mere 1007 words. (A good bit less than my average column.) The details are scarce, really, but then it isn’t meant to be a 'how-to' manual. (Cause even if we knew 'how-to', we couldn’t, right?) The methodology is vague, but the motivation? Crystal clear.

The False Prophet's Crown
January 16, 2013 - In Defense of the Faith
One of the questions that seems to come up the most often about Bible prophecy is the question, 'How long is a generation?' Generally, the question is in relation to the Lord's promise that 'this generation shall not pass until all these things be fulfilled'.

The Prophet Daniel
January 12, 2013 - In Defense of the Faith
''And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.'' (Daniel 11:31)

Galileo in Graceland
January 09, 2013 - In Defense of the Faith
Yesterday in Memphis we were celebrating the birth of the King (Elvis, of course), who would have been 78 years old. (I'm feeling old…) But the day is doubly noteable, being also the anniversary of the death of Galileo, a man far less adulated but much more worthy. Here’s why:

Please Pass the Eyesalve
December 28, 2012 - In Defense of the Faith
I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised to read that the man that secular America has dubbed 'America's pastor' would be expressing regret for past statements supporting Biblical marriage.

The Third Element
December 22, 2012 - In Defense of the Faith
The body is only one third of what God created in the Garden of Eden. God created the body out of the dust of the earth. The body is the first element of man. It is a physical shell.

A Sheep of a Different Color
December 10, 2012 - In Defense of the Faith
No Sheep Shows after the Thanksgiving Day parade, so you’ve probably never seen a Piebald Sheep, an unusual animal considered an 'heirloom' breed in the US because commercial breeding has overlooked them. Meaning they are still pretty much the same sheep, physically and genetically, that they were thousands of years ago.

Is Christmas Dead?
December 01, 2012 - In Defense of the Faith
In the next three weeks we are going to hear a lot about the ''War on Christmas'', at least those of us who watch news. That would be all Omega Letter members and readers for sure. You probably won’t see it on Entertainment Tonight and much of the ''main stream'' media unless FOX News brings it up. We all know that FOX will though. . .

DNA, Predestination and The Book of Life
November 30, 2012 - In Defense of the Faith
According to Scripture, the names of everybody that ever lived are recorded in the Book of Life. The Book of Life is but one of the record books kept in heaven that records our time on this earth. The Bible also identifies the Books of Tears, Remembrance, and the Book of Births.

Why Christianity Cannot Be Mythologized
November 22, 2012 - In Defense of the Faith
One of the most important differences between Biblical Christianity and most other belief structures, (including atheism) is that, by its very nature, Christianity discourages becoming mythologized.

Country on a Hill
November 21, 2012 - In Defense of the Faith
It's 1620, and a bedraggled shipful of seasick Englishman step onto a slab of granite hugging a foreign shore. Who knew that this New World, home to millions of souls who had never heard the name of Jesus, would become His face to the world? No one but the people who settled it.

To Love and to Cherish
November 01, 2012 - In Defense of the Faith
As a student of prophecy, it seems what everybody wants to argue about is (arguably) a question of little eternal significance: namely, when, exactly, is the rapture? The more I try to explain the scriptural proof of its imminence, however, the more I think it really just boils down to understanding the Last Supper.

Dance Like David Danced
October 17, 2012 - In Defense of the Faith
Ever feel like God isn’t listening? You pray. (Nothing happens) Cry out to Him. (Still nothing.) Maybe, like Jacob, purpose ''not to let go until You bless me''. (Nada again). And then, suddenly and inexplicably, the seas part and His favor, seemingly, returns. But 'why' is a mystery? We’ve all been there, right?

Should Christians Be Afraid?
October 05, 2012 - In Defense of the Faith
There is a growing sense that America is facing a watershed moment not seen since the famed Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1860. The Lincoln-Douglas debates presented a deeply-divided America with starkly contrasting choices concerning the future direction of the country.

Wednesday's Church
October 03, 2012 - In Defense of the Faith
You know the old saying…Monday's child is full of grace, Tuesday's, fair of face, Wednesday's, full of woe. Statistics tells us that, by denominational affiliation, three-fourths of the church is full of woe. Why? Misinterpretation of one passage of scripture. Leading (inevitably) to one big ol' mess of confusion. And contention.
