    Minding The Times: An Exposition On Postmodernism, Part 2

    The human mind and spirit cannot endure for very long the chaotic vacillation of such lawlessness before the individual eventually cries out for answers to the extremes of licentiousness and total control. Throughout much of the Modern Era, the Christian apologist could appeal to a shared respect ...read more

    If the resurrection is true, we need to do something about it! Respond to it. This is a fairly short talk encouraging first time commitments to Jesus

    If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead then most of what we do as a Church is a waste of time. If Jesus Christ was not raised then my job is almost entirely meaningless and I am wasting my life away; but if Jesus Christ was truly raised then we have the most important message for the world, for ...read more

    Did Jesus Have A Wife?

     | 5,051 views

    The recent publishing of a 4th century papyrus fragment where Jesus is purported to say He had a wife will continue to be vetted for months in the media. Christians must be informed and have a strong defense of the authority of the Word of God.

    DID JESUS HAVE A WIFE? Rev. 22:18-19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In a church scriptorium, a group of old monks huddled over an ancient manuscript. 2. They are holy men devoted to God and studying the holy writings. Suddenly, the group begins to wail in unison over what they are reading. Someone ...read more

    We all have things that we are deeply embarrassed about, perhaps even ashamed of, things that we don’t want anyone else to know about. And sadly that embarrassment can all too often overflow into our spiritual life.

    Embarrassing moments On my book shelf in my office I have a book called ‘Tall Tales of a Big God’ written by a man called Maurice Smith. Maurice is (or at least was) an international Christian Speaker travelling all over the UK, and Europe and particularly the USA. And his book is a compilation ...read more

     | 2,541 views

    This is the first of a series of messages centering on the sermon that the Apostle Paul gave before the groups of philosophers in Athens, and how it is a perfect model for Biblical apologetics and evangelism.

    People today tend to sidestep, ignore, deter, apologize for and question the concept of reality in a world which gladly embraces the concept that reality, truth, and fact are not absolute but just a matter of opinion, experience, or personal interpretation. We have become terrified of the ...read more
