Speaker and author on apologetics, worldviews, and eschatology.
Lutheran Hour Ministries has asked me to give an online presentation to explain how to effectively defend the Christian faith as the truth. The live, interactive webinar will be conducted at their building in St. Louis, Missouri on March 22 at 10:00 AM CST. It is part of MISSION U, a webinar series to address evangelism. [&hellip

There is great evidence to back up the claim that the Bible is true; it passes an external evidence test. Renowned archaeologist Nelson Glueck said, “It may be stated categorically that no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a biblical reference. Scores of archaeological findings have been made which confirm in clear outline or exact detail [&hellip
Before we look at the third argument for God’s existence, let’s review the first two. Cosmology and teleology are important to remember. Everything has a beginning. Every design has a designer. God designed and created all things. All people can know that God exists. That’s why Romans 1:20 says the following: “For since the creation of [&hellip
Continuing to deal with the issue of God’s existence, we turn to another argument: teleology. Teleology is the study of design and purpose. Every design has a designer. A car or laptop doesn’t just appear out of nowhere—they are conceived in the mind of a designer and constructed out of materials. So it is with [&hellip
When it comes to worldviews, everyone has to start somewhere. Our worldview “map” needs to have a starting point, so assumptions have to be made. Christianity states that God exists, and that He reveals Himself through His creation and His Word. A legitimate question to ask would be, “How does one know that there is [&hellip
If you want a good example of defending the faith, or apologetics, read the article from World magazine about The Veritas Forum at UCLA. (“Ready to give an answer” at http://www.worldoncampus.com/2012/03/ready_to_give_an_answer) Groups like The Veritas Forum help believers “take a more intellectual approach to their faith and learn how to appeal to skeptics who say [&hellip
Earlier I wrote about how the Liam Neeson film The Grey is an atheist parable showing that suffering proves that God doesn’t exist. This week the high school where I teach, Milwaukee Lutheran, experienced incredible suffering–one of our sophomores died in her sleep. This girl, an active dance squad and track team member, went to bed and [&hellip
When I wrote earlier about defending the Christian faith, I mentioned that what we say (content) is important, but so is how we say it (delivery). I read a blog recently by John Stonestreet that spoke to that very issue. (“Against the World, Part 2” http://www.summit.org/blogs/the-point/against-the-world-part-2/ ) Besides what Mr. Stonestreet suggests, may I suggest another [&hellip
Yesterday I read an interesting blog reviewing the new Liam Neeson film The Grey. (“The Grey: Liam Neeson’s bleak atheist parable” http://www.breakpoint.org/tp-home/blog-archives/blog-archives/entry/4/18673 ) In it, blogger Shane Morris points out that the film isn’t so much a movie about man vs. nature as it is a movie about man vs. God. Or, more specifically, man vs. the [&hellip
