The Truth Hurts…But It’s Still the Truth

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 by Dan Carrington posted in Christian Living, Evangelism | 7 Comments »

Interesting thing about truth...it's true whether you want it to be or not. Sometimes we like it. Sometimes it doesn't matter either way. Other times, however, we don't particularly like it at all. It's those times that we have to be very careful. The Church in America today has to be very careful when it comes to truth. You see, so many of us tend to base what is true on how we feel about a ...

Might Makes Right…Or Is It Righteousness?

I'm always amazed at the timing of certain things. Based on some comments from one of my recent posts, I tought it curious that I was going to be writing about this today anyway.

It's odd to me that when it comes to certain things, ...

More and more, these days, we continue to hear skeptics deride Christianity for many reasons. Some of them are completely absurd and untrue. Sadly, quite a few of the complaints about Christians are true. At least, to the extent that they accurately depict a fairly large majority of professed Christians. I believe, however, that Christianity is not the issue. While I do feel that others' perceptions of Christianity is a contributing factor, I don't see that ...

Creation or Evolution?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 by Dan Carrington posted in Bible & Scripture | Comments Off

One of the things that Ken Ham, founder of the Creation Museum, often points out is the different starting points used by creationists vs. evolutionists when studying "observational science." Of course, the most obvious first question is, ""What the heck does that mean!?" Lucky you. An attempt to explain this idea is precisely the purpose of this post and hopefully will successfully make this less of a confusing mystery. Not being Ken Ham, myself, what I ...
