I encourage you to read part 1 before continuing if you have not yet done so.

The second part of this blog series is titled “Horizontal Peace”…Peace between person to person.

Matt. 5:9-“Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God”

If you have read the earlier blog about peace between humanity and God, then this will make much more sense.

If humanity, when first created and fashioned by the hands of God, did not know conflict or war or hatred, then followers of God are called to show in their lives that same peace. Jesus Christ gives us not only by His death and resurrection, concrete peace and a restored relationship between us and God, but He has also provided an example with how to work for peace on both a microlevel (with our individual enemies) and on a larger scale (peace in the world in terms of justice). First, I will address the former then turn our attention to the later.

As with so much more in the Christian faith, the beginning point is love. Jesus said the two greatest commandments is to love God completely and to love neighbor as self.

Neighbor tookon a whole new meaning when Jesus proclaimed “neighbor” meant enemy too. To the white supremicists, neighbor means all non-whites, to the militant Israeli, neighbor means Palestinian (and lest anyone think that I am being one-sided, to the militant Palestinian, neighbor means Israeli).

One of the best examples that stresses my point is the parable of the unmerciful servant (Mt. 18:21-35). Let me recap. A servant owed his master an amount of money so great, it was impossible to pay. The King knew this, and rather than make the servant work his knuckles to the bone the rest of his life (which still would not have sufficed to repay the debt), the King mercifully cancells the debt.

If you have not known what it is like to have debt, this may be hard for you to appreciate, but if you have, then you you know the yearning of the relief and jubilance that this servant must have felt.

and here is the kicker…the king had EVERY right to claim what was owed him. Yet He gave up those rights because He is gracious, valuing His servant far greater than His wealth. He hoped his servant would reflect this merciful attitude to his felow servant who owed him only a tiny amount, yet the forgiven one nearly had an anuerism as he attempted to threaten the other!

This parable portrays a deep truth: If God who is so perfectly good and therefore had a right to extract payment yet forgave the transgression, then how can those who claim to follow him do any less? How can we expect God to be pleased when we hurt others to justify our own rage? Look at Christ on the cross. All the sufferings of humanity, ALL the evil was laid upon the shoulders of the evil-less Son of God and He suffered and endured AND prayed that his killers (and that includes me since it was my sin just as much as anyone’s that He died for) would be forgiven.

If God had just dropped a book from the sky that said, “forgive and love your enemies”, I would have pointed a finger to the sky and cried out “but God you just dont know what it is like to feel hurt, or pain, and I want justice!”

When I look at the cross, I have my answer: God does know what it is to suffer injustice, pain, hurt, betrayal, and death. Yet this same Savior calls me to show mercy to all people, to do my best to live in peace with all people, and as Bonhoeffer once wrote “bids me to come and die”. To take up my cross, renounce all revenge upon people, and forgive those who have hurt me.

and finally, to use that forgiveness and love as a foundation to work for peace with both neighbor and enemy alike. This is how I reflect my Father who is in heaven.

Why Work for Peace?

Often times the word “peace” conjures up several different images in our minds. For many of us who grew up in the millenial generation, those who we hear of who practice and try to promote peace oftentimes produces in our heads pictures of obsolete, burnt-out idealists, “hippies”, or naive “do-gooders” who are out of touch with reality (which says something about us when we become so cynical that we think a world with war, injustice, and conflict is normal (or “business as usual”). For others, peace has only one definition: non-violence between warring parties. In governmental terms, we call that simply a “cease-fire”. But for us as Christians, this is not enough nor should it be.

All throughout Scripture, there is a concept of what is known as shalom. Although this is translated “peace” in the English, like many Hebrew words and ideas, the English translations could probably combine about nine different words to really grasp the concept. One of the best ways I have heard it explained in one word is this: wholeness. When you ask a Christian, “How do you word for peace?” We could give them a few tried and true answers: “be informed”, “pray for your enemies”, “raise awareness”, “do good to those who hate you”. But when you hit us with that most crucial question, “Why”?, well I know that for a time in my life, I was so dumbfounded to find an answer that I either A) Had no answer and stood there with my jaw hanging open or B) replied simply “well…Jesus did it…and why shouldn’t we?” That is an excellent start for believers but what do we say to others? to ourselves? when we desire to take the above answer to a fuller, more robust understanding? Does all of Scripture call us to be peacemakers? What about those “dark parts” of the Old Testament that talk about war? Theses are all important questions, and this is where I start this three-part blog series.

The first part is titled “Vertical Peace”…Peace between us and God.

This is where theology builds the bridge and lays the groundwork for peace, and it answers that most fundamental question…why?

The beginning of the Bible recounts a God brining everything into existence out of nothing (Gen. 1:1). Sometimes people get so caught up in the creationist/evolutionist/old earth/young earth/literal/poetic debates, that we forget about some of the most joyful and powerful truths of this story. 1) God, and only God is the Creator of the universe. As much as we humans are called to follow God’s command and example to use our gifts to create (and perhaps procreate), it is still humbling to remember that no human being ever created something completely out of nothing (ex nilhio). The best we have succeeded in doing is manipulating raw materials into a finished product. 2) God is both wholly seperate and above His creation yet is still deeply involved in it. It is God who does the creating and He himself is not the creation. Likewise, it is not the creation we worship but He whose hands have formed it. 3) God values order rather than chaos. It is in His nature to enjoy when His creation acts to fulfill its purpose and He ordered it to do so when He formed the cosmos and gave structure to chaos. He did not just create. He organized. 4) He created the world in peace. There was once a time when there was no striving, no conflict, no hate.

C.S. Lewis (I am paraphrasing) once wrote that if humanity has a yearning that we once knew a better existence and our desire is to return to that existence, then it is plausible that such was/is a reality. Jesus Christ, through His death and resurrection gave all who would come to Him a glimpse of that new reality: the Kingdom of God. When we come to Christ and give Him the place of lordship in our lives that He desires and deserves by the degree of His goodness, and make Him our Savior, then He gives us forgiveness from our sins, purpose for our lives, healing from our pain, and new life and peace. The way to have peace with God is to come to Christ and submit to His lordship and to be washed clean of the stains of sin and death.

There is no other way to peace because sin impacts everything, and it is like a cancer: it feeds on itself. No amount of “self-surgery” (good deeds, self-discipline, etc.) can remove this blight. Like cancer that can only be killed by a trained physician, sin can only be destroyed by the great Physician, Jesus Christ. It is this love He has shown to us most fully in Jesus that is the foundation for peace between us and God. The familiar Scripture verse proclaiming the announcement by the angels, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests” (Luke 2:14 NIV).

In Christ, we lack nothing. We are made complete through His life and power. Through Christ’s atonement being the key to God’s forgiveness, we now have peace with God and this is the only foundation with which we can work for peace with others. For if a person in their heart does not have peace with God, then even if they are at peace with neighbor and enemy alike, there is no shalom, no complete peace, no wholeness. But because God loves all humanity and invites them into His new way of living, then peace with God is a joyful result and then this can be shared with others so that they too will realize that they were meant to live for so much more.

Loving God and Loving neighbor, these are the things that make for peace….

Pt 2 to come, Horizontal Peace

TO SWEDEN AND BEYOND!

Sweden, ahh Sweden, look at the caption on this picture and then visit my last blog post where I talk about Tim Keller’s quote.

The explicit idea here is that a country that has a majority atheist population can prosper just as well as one with a religious one. Implicit here though is again this common misconception that all religious people think that all non-religious people are inherently evil. What we Christians forget to remember is that all people are made in the image of God and similarly all people are affected by sin. We are all in need of a Savior, even those of us who already believe and worship Him still need Him. This is what the biblical worldview teaches and affirms. That should not make us Christians arrogant at all; rather it should implore us to be humble, and spur us on to show our gratitude for salvation and new life in the Kingdom of God by showing others that there is another way of thinking, living, and acting.

I could turn this into a question of whether atheists can be good but let us save that for another post (to give an immediate answer to this question just to wet your appetites, I would argue “yes” and there have been good atheists, but the question then becomes, how does one good (let’s say selfless) atheist justify why his friend a bad (selfish) atheist should live his way? How can he call his way “good” and the other way “bad”? What moral system must the good atheist borrow from another religion or worldview to make such a claim? But I digress…

Sometimes I honestly wonder if posters like these are just made to make people laugh in their cubicles or if people would actually use these to build a worldview without noticing the other side of the coin.

With that being said, let us return to Sweden.

Sweden is a part of Europe and being part of the Western system of thought, prizes individuality highly. One of the guarantees of European Constitution, the International Declaration of Human Rights as well as our own Bill of Rights is that of Freedom of Religion. The entire country of Sweden could become Hindu, atheist, Christian, Muslim or any other system of thought and ideally they would not be bothered from anyone within or without its borders.

Here’s the kicker. What worldview created the idea that man was worthy enough to have these rights? What system of thought gave man the inherent dignity and self-worth? Europe at one point was the central hub of Christianity and hundreds of influential Christian thinkers came from within its borders. Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Wesley just to name a few, and even at the highest point of what historians call the Enlightenment, there had to be this uniting of trying to get ride of the idea of God yet somehow retaining the idea that humanity has inherent worth. James Sire in his book The Universe Next Door writes that there were many naturalists and humanists that still retained the Christian system of morality, but it was when people began to the godless foundation of naturalism to its logical conclusion did they find that they nothing left on which to stand. So they either had to retain the borrowing of another system, or try to create a moral system from a by-definition immoral foundation.

From this outworking you get someone like Fredrich Nietzsche who said freedom is nothing more than a herd mentality and that without God, supermen would be needed to play God in a society and if you have someone thinking they or the government they are a part of gets to play god, then that means it is they who decide(s) who lives and who dies and they who then decides who is even worthy of life.

Enter Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and so many others. This herein lies the crux of my argument. A country like Sweden in the midst of Europe that for centuries had laws based on the Christian worldview retained those same laws that Christianity gave them like freedom, hence atheism had the chance to rise. Look at the former Soviet Union or communist China for a contrast. When tradition is thrown out the window, and all competing worldviews are eliminated and made illegal except Marxism which is based on naturalism, that is when you have disaster, economic downward spirals, and massive bloodletting by the millions. That is when you have the “wasteland” that the above poster describes. The Soviet Union tried to build a utopia and failed, now that country has been run like a mob state. The only reason why China has become the economic powerhouse is because it is really only communist in name only. It has allowed capitalistic practices under Dong Xao-ping which would have never been allowed under Chairman Mao.

When atheism is put into public policy and made the political philosophy that drives your government, that is when the “wasteland” appears. So, honestly, don’t look at Sweden. It may be atheistic but people still have the freedom not to be.

(An interesting question here resides: If religion is supposedly on its way out the door as hardcore atheists would hope, and it will continue to erode away as long as man has the freedom to choose because man is by nature good, then why is it that both Christianity and Islam are growing rather than shrinking?)

Don’t look a Sweden. Try taking a look at history instead.

A recent poster from a friend (the same one I mentioned in my older posts) had a picture of David Radcliffe (you may know him better as Harry Potter), said that he is a militant atheist when it comes to legislation governing morality (which I would assume he is also against morality governing legislation) [and I would further assume he is referring to Christian morality].

It is interesting he uses this term “militant atheism”. I have been debating with friends recently who insist that atheism is not a comprehensive worldview but only a component of it. What am I to do when it is the atheist himself who calls himself that? How should I respond? Can I respond adequately?

There is no such thing as a society or culture that doesn’t  have a worldview under-girding it. It determines what a society deems as the good, true, and beautiful, and also what it views as evil, bad, or detrimental to it. I ask, if Christianity should never be an under-girding worldview anywhere, which is a better alternative?

Let me clarify something here: I do not advocate for laws forcing people to be Christians. That is not how the Kingdom of God works. I come out of the Anabaptist tradition of Christianity, who were persecuted by many of the “state” churches in Europe who tried to force them to adapt “their” version of the faith. God cherishes a person who chooses out of recognizing the inherent goodness and love of God to follow Him wholeheartedly, without forced coercion. When the church and the state become one or even mix together wrongly, there may be a few benefits (like the Edict of Milan which stopped the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire). Often enough however, it is not the state that becomes holy, rather it is the church that becomes corrupt.

Mainly because the Body stops relying upon and trusting in the Head that is Christ and begins depending on a helmet (a great deal of flash and flare on the outside, but inside a willingness to sacrifice the body to advance its own ends, no matter how sincere they may be. With separation does come one main benefit: No forced conversions (which I’m pretty sure Christ wasn’t into anyways).

However, much of what we know and value in Western culture comes from a decidedly Judeo-Christian worldview: Doing good to all people, the inherent dignity of human beings, reconciliation with enemies rather than revenge to preserve honor. Even the ideals of truth, justice, and love are not mere conventions, but absolutes.

Tim Keller does a thorough job of doing this in The Reason for God. Within the first chapter, Keller argues that “Christianity provides a firm basis for respecting people of other faiths” and cites Scripture affirming so (Mt. 5:16; 1 Peter 2:12). That assumes some overlap between the Christian set of ethics and those of any particular culture and religion (which by the way can be great starting points for evangelism a.k.a. ask them what they believe, find common ground, then show them where Christianity agrees or maybe disagrees).

Keller writes,(p. 19-20)

“The biblical doctrine of the universal image of God, therefore, leads Christians to expect nonbelievers will be better than any of their mistaken beliefs could make them. The Biblical doctrine of universal sinfulness also leads Christians to expect believers will be worse in practice than their orthodox beliefs should make them. So there will be plenty of ground for respectful cooperation.

Christianity not only leads its members to believe people of other faiths to have goodness and wisdom to offer, it also leads them to expect that many will live lives morally superior to their own. Most people in our culture believe that, if there is a God, we can relate to him and go to heaven through leading a good life. Let’s call this the “moral improvement” view. Christianity teaches the very opposite. In the Christian understanding, Jesus does not tell us how to live so we can merit salvation. (emphasis mine) Rather, he comes to forgive and save us through his life and death in our place. God’s grace does not come to people who morally outperform others, but to those who admit their failure to perform and who acknowledge their need for a Savior.

Christians, then, should expect to find nonbelievers who are much nicer, kinder, wiser, and better than they are. Why? Christian believers are not accepted by God because of their moral performance, wisdom, or virtue, but because of Christ’s work on their behalf. Most religions and philosophies of life assume that one’s spiritual status depends on your religious attainments [you earn your own salvation]. This naturally leads adherents to feel superior to those who don’t believe and behave as they do. The Christian gospel, in any case, should not have that effect.

It is common to say that “fundamentalism” leads to violence, yet as we have seen, all of us have fundamental, unprovable faith-commitments that we think are superior to those of others. The real question, then, is which fundamentals will lead their believers to be the most loving and receptive to those with whom they differ? (emphasis his) Which set of unavoidably exclusive beliefs will lead us to humble, peace-loving behavior?

One of the paradoxes of history is the relationship between the beliefs and the practices of the early Christians as compared to those of the culture around them.

The Greco-Roman world’s religious views were open and seemingly tolerant-everyone had his or her own God. The practices of the culture were quite brutal, however. The Greco-Roman would was highly stratified economically, with a huge distance between the rich and poor. By contrast, Christians insisted that there was only one true God, the dying Savior Jesus Christ. Their lives and practices were, however, remarkably welcoming to those that the culture marginalized. The early Christians mixed people from different races and classes in ways that seemed scandalous to those around them. The Greco-Roman world tended to despise the poor, but Christians gave generously not only to their own poor but to those of other faiths. In broader society, women had very low status, being subjected to high levels of female infanticide, forced marriages, and lack of economic equality than had previously existed in the ancient classical world (See Rodney Stark, The Rise of Christianity (Harper, 1996), Chapter 5: “The Role of Women in Christian Growth.”). During the terrible urban plagues of the first two centuries, Christians cared for all the sick and dying in the city, often at the cost of their lives (Ibid. ch. 4, 6, 7).

Why would such an exclusive belief system lead to behavior that was so open to others? It was because Christians had within their belief system the strongest possible resource for practicing sacrificial service, generosity, and peace-making. At the very heart of their view of reality was a man who died for his enemies, praying for their forgiveness. Reflection on this could only lead to a radically different way of dealing with those who were different from them. It meant they could not act in violence and oppression toward their opponents.

We cannot skip lightly over the fact that there have been injustices done by the church in the name of Christ, yet who can deny that the force of Christians’ most fundamental beliefs can be a powerful impetus for peace-making in our troubled world?” (Keller, pg. 20-21)

Whether it is Radcliffe supporting militant atheism or Bill Maher’s thoughts that if America could only get ride of religion so as to be as secular as classical Athens was (though that’s debatable), there is this underlying idea that if we finally rid ourselves of religion there will be peace. I respond that there willalways be a worldview (Christian or otherwise) that provides a foundation for society and culture. A completely secular worldview has been tried before in our history and even if there was any progress, the cost was massive amounts of human death (French Revolution, Soviet Union under Lenin and Stalin, Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot, Mao’s China, etc).

Get rid of religion in general and Christianity in particular and there will be peace? No. I maintain Christianity which follows Jesus’ teachings consist of the very things that make for peace.

An atheist facebook friend of mine recently posted a great many pictures with funny sayings from an atheist prospective. I challenged her on one of them, not in a way that was slanderous, but a way that (I hope) challenged her to think through the implications of the picture. Now again, let me pull the plank out of my own eye, before I try to remove the speck from my friend’s. Christians, just like everyone else, have put up the “posters”, and while some posters have been insightful and challenged me to think (which contrary to popular belief is a great thing because many Christians do think and like it), but other posters have basically taken misconceptions of Christianity and projected them to be the reality. It may hurt but truth ought to provide counter-arguments and/or at least clarifications for some of these points.

The first (others will be commented in further posts) has a picture of Bill Gates saying he donates billions of dollars and does charity work yet he is still going to hell, so therefore Christianity must be intolerant, stupid, and blind to the good works of others so we ascribe Bill and others to hell.

So much is wrong here. First, I do not personally know Bill Gates and no other human does they way God does. God knows what is in Bill’s heart and mind, that is what it means to be omniscient. There is only one condition for a person to experience peace with God: by coming as you are, rich or poor, and accepting His boundless grace and forgiveness flourishing from His love. Who but God knows if Bill has accepted this offer? I cannot say if he has or has not and even if he has, perhaps he has chosen not to be vocal or “puffing out his chest” about it? That would actually be a breath of fresh air compared to many celebrities, politicians, and “power players” who claim to have some faith because they think it will appeal to a larger audience but in reality act nothing in accordance with the faith to which they claim to belong.With the highly intense and skeptical nature of our culture, if Bill Gates did announce he was a Christian, some would no doubt label him as being stupid and ignorant and honestly I think Bill has more important things to do that deal with bad publicity.

God alone knows the fate of a man, but I digress.

Let me try to put this another way. God’s grace is a gift given to all men to accept or reject no matter how rich or poor they may be. When it is grace + anything else, then it makes Christ’s death inadequate. Now as a man who hopes to have children, if I was ever asked to give up my adult son and then it was said that it was this “giving up” that would combine with something else to ensure people would be rescued, I would (out of love) urge, “then spare my son and put more of that other thing in for that will spare people.”

If God could have paid for our sins by any other way than sending His beloved Son on a rescue mission, as a loving Father, would he not have done so?

The cross is where justice and mercy meet and are united for in the crucifixion our punishment was mercifully put upon another and the requirements of justice were met. This was all done from the heart of love Jesus had for all humanity that He do this for them. Furthermore, the Christian worldview can definitely appreciate the gifts given by Bill [and yes we can call them “good” for any of you out there who think Christians don’t appreciate gifts given by non-Christians]. It is the same case as when aid was given from Richard Dawkins and other prominent atheists reached Haiti after the devastating earthquake; we were no going to stand in the way. God uses gifts from all people.

On a different final note from this one, let me use an example here: Mr. Smith owns a fortune 500 company and donates millions every year yet when no one is watching, he cheats his employees out of their wages, beats or neglects his children, and cheats on his wife. All-in-all he helps out hundreds of thousands of people and has hurt 500 people. Now of that day when we all stand accountable for what we did in this life, and God hands out justice (to harmonize all and restore what was lost). What will God do? If He lets Mr. Smith into heaven because of those hundreds of thousands, where is the justice for those 500? Is God simply to ignore their plight? This is how grace levels the playing filed. Just like a perfect courtroom, justice must be given by the perfect Judge. None of us can stand before Him innocent, because we all have hurt someone by doing the wrong thing or ignoring the right. We all have been hurt by someone too.

We need a Savior. We need to be forgiven and the debt we have incurred paid. We need the justice to be delivered so that we can be declared innocent. If God judged a man solely by his works or his wealth, how much would be enough? Salvation would become monopolized like it was during those dark periods of church history known as the Crusades where salvation was used as a bargaining chip to stir others to combat. What of the kind-hearted grandmother who has not two pennies to rub together but loves her family dearly and donates most of her time to clothing the homeless? Grace, the gift of new life in God does not distinguish between rich & poor, black & white, male or female.

I do not know what Bill Gates believes in, but I can affirm the money he donates is good. I cannot tell you where Bill Gates will be when he dies. THAT IS GOD’S JOB. To put poster up that presumes to know otherwise is based on a false assumption: I know better than God…trust me I don’t.

With the positive response of the last blog I posted and with the encouragement of others, I thought I’d keep writing and blogging about different theological issues and my thoughts about them, so here is “Reflections of a Ginger Theologian” pt 1.2

I have a few friends (wish I could have more sometimes) on facebook who are very staunch atheists. I have liked discussing with them and not just about theology either. Many have families, fears, wishes, hopes, dreams. They are people. That is one thing we as Christians forget sometimes. Atheists are human beings too and if we subscribe to a faith and worldview built on a Teacher who taught us to love all people and to sincerely show love by our actions. Many atheists, I would argue, never woke up one morning and said to themselves, “gee I think I would like to go and make every religious person in the world mad at me by calling them idiots and say their most cherished beliefs are garbage.” I know it may be tempting to think that in light of some of the more venom-filled attacks of guys like Richard Dawkins (feel free to examine my essay to the right written about my take on his book “the god dillusion” NOTE: it is a work in progress), but if bitterness begets bitterness, then answering tirades against with anything less than the truth presented in sincere love will accomplish nothing.

I have been reading through a recent book by Alex McFarland10 Answers for Skeptics, and it lists many different reasons why people do not believe in any religious belief in general or Christianity in particular. For some it is education, others it is pride, still others it is pain, and the list goes on and it is often a combination of all of these for people are complex.

I say that to say this. Present the gospel in such a way that if someone rejects it, it is the message (gospel) they have a problem with rather than you the messenger.

The gospel of Christ cuts to the core of the idols many of us have set up in our hearts. I have been reflecting a great deal on the passage of Matthew 19:16-26. In this passage, a man of great wealth and self-proclaimed religious devotion, the man asks what must I do to get eternal life? After Jesus tells him to keep the commandments, and he affirms he has. Then he asks, “what do I still lack?” Jesus goes right straight to what could be called a roadblock in his walk with God: His wealth.

God searches out the depths/heart/mind of a man to see if they are truly serious about following Him and if so, callus us to ride ourselves of anything that gets in the way of it, as a process called “dying to self” or “dying to what I want and living selflessly, loving God and neighbor” (which I admit I need to work on greatly). My point is that often (not always) when people have a problem with the message and the person of Jesus (not us as messengers, not the tainted flawed history of the church), it is because He offers us the highest gift that is truly free, but out of the same mouth says, that following Him on this earth means letting go of everything else that is getting in the way of your following Him.

Part 1/2 stay tuned

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”-Isaiah 41:10

“But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.”-1 Peter 3:15

Welcome to my website! The purpose of this website/blog is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the salvation of humanity as well as defend God’s Truths using Scripture primarily, history, and logic. Please feel free to browse through some of the essays on the site as these are papers I have written throughout my career.

Please Friend, GOD LOVES YOU and I would encourage you to browse this site to find out why and how you can have a life-giving, redeeming relationship with Him.

In an age where everything seems to be changing at a light-speed pace, people are not only looking for truth but consistency. They are searching for a worldview to ground their lives upon and use as a filter to examine the world. Similar to a pair of glasses, a worldview is how we look at and, just as important, interpret the world around us.

In my years of research comparing different religions and worldviews, I can honestly say that the Christian worldview offers the most historically accurate, logically consistent, and experientially true way of living and understanding the world around us. This website is presenting different research papers/blog topics dealing with subjects of biblical history, theology, church history, philosophy, and evangelism. All summed up, this is a website dealing with apologetics. Please feel free to browse, explore, and leave comments on this site or on one of the blogs. If I am wrong, I am ready to discuss it with you and be corrected if necessary.

Peace to you Friend,

Craig
