    Do Viewers Know About "Knowing"?

    Viewers wanting to see "Knowing" staring Nicholas Cage might expect a film not all that different from his "National Treasure" series or even perhaps "The Da Vinci Code" as from advertisements the story appears to center around an aged parchment with a series of numbers scribbled across it that ...read more

    Cause For Celebration: An Examination Of The Cosmological Argument

    Often the classics rank among the best. Even though time passes and intellectual fashions change, certain insights and perspectives address something so profound they forever earn a place as a steadfast pillar among sifting seas of opinion.

    Innkeeper's Bad Press Not Necessarily Deserved

    As the opening act of the Greatest Story Ever Told, each character mentioned in the Christmas narrative has had a number of literary traditions and homiletical assumptions added that may or may not be directly traceable to the text of the Holy Bible. One of these is none other than the Innkeeper. ...read more

    Lessons In Apologetics #2: Rationalism & Fideism

    The next epistemological methodology is rationalism. Of rationalism, Geisler writes, "Rationalism is characterized by its stress on the innate a priori ability of human reason to know truth. Basically, rationalists hold that what is knowable or demonstrable by human reason is true (29)." To the ...read more

    Lessons In Apologetics #3: Experientialism & Evidentialism

    The next methodology is experientialism. Though fideism strives to make faith alone the justification for religious knowledge or belief, Geisler observes that this faith is ultimately justified in terms of an experience had by the individual (65). To the experientialist, God or the Ultimate is ...read more

    Olympics Subtly Lure Tots Into Paganism's Embrace

    Over the past decade and a half or thereabouts, I have published occasional columns pointing out that there is more going on in terms of worldview at the Olympic games than good sportsmanship and keeping a stoic outlook no matter how disappointed one might be at the outcome of a particular event. ...read more

    An Analysis Of I Corinthians 15

    To religious progressives wanting to at least acknowledge the morality of Jesus without having to acknowledge His rightful place as the Lord of the their lives, the resurrection of the body is viewed as a disposable dogma more suited for less scientific times when the masses of humanity were less ...read more

    A Christian Approach To Technology

    In Jurassic Park, the chaos theorist played by Jeff Goldblum quipped that scientists were in such a hurry to find out if they could that they never took the time to consider whether they should when it came to resurrecting extinct dinosaurs through genetic cloning technology. The comment was quite ...read more

    Biomedical Developments Require Advanced Ethical Reflection

  • Showing Up, But Fired! When Disobedience Costs You Your Anointing

    Contributed by Frederick Tanner on Nov 13, 2025
     | 194 views

    Have you ever known someone who still showed up for work every day, dressed right, on time, doing all the motions, but the truth is, they’d already been fired? The title and position might still say “employed,” but the authority and favor behind the role are long gone.

    Saul was chosen by God, anointed by Samuel, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. He had divine backing, heavenly authority, and public favor. But one act of disobedience changed everything. God gave Saul a command, destroy Amalek completely, but Saul did it his way, not God’s way. He kept what looked ...read more

    Greatest Story Ever Told's Opening Act Tweaked To Advance Assorted Agendas

    In the frantic effort to co-opt all of culture to advance the cause of comprehensive revolution, not even the symbols of the sacred and solemn are immune from being hijacked for the purposes of advancing the agenda. In fact, it is often the only time that otherwise intended for destruction will be ...read more

    The Cultural Impact Of Worldview & Apologetics

When the West thought of itself in terms of resting on broadly Judeo-Christian assumptions, the discipline was not as desperately ...read more

    Contributed by Frederick Meekins on Nov 8, 2021
     | 2,435 views

    One of the perplexities of philosophical and religious research is that it can be easy to misconstrue the personalities and movements one is attempting to study through the prism of one's own respective worldview.

    The Purpose & Scope Of Apologetics

    Apologetics exists as a field of Christian study to aide the believer in understanding his beliefs, why critics refuse to ascent to these eternal truths, and how these beliefs apply to broader intellectual concerns.
