False Options

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009 by Dan Carrington posted in Christian Living | Comments Off

In so many conversations I've had or heard, there is an interesting and common thing that I hear over and over again. Typically, this is when the "conversation" is more of a debate of some sort. Whether about theology, politics or whatever something strange often happens. As an example, the other day I was talking with a co-worker about a particular political issue. I won't mention the fact that it was about the health care reform ...

Send Your Tweets To the Almighty?

Want to reach God on Twitter? Not that you really need a Twitter account to talk to the Almighty as He already hears the prayers of the righteous.

That is, they only want the evidence that hasn't already been found. Not long ago, I picked up a book called "God: The Failed Hypothesis." I ...

Reporting or Condoning?

There is a common occurrence that I have seen among both skeptics and Christians alike. This has to do with some of the things that the Bible says about certain things. Many people seem to read more into some Bible passages than they perhaps should. In this particular case that I'm referring to, people often make the mistake of assuming that just because the Bible reports a certain event or situation, that these events or situations ...
