This post, as the title suggests, is about how Christians should approach the issue of psychedelics. Because it covers so much information, I have decided to break it into parts. The reason I have decided to write this post is that I do not believe there are many resources out there for Christians who may…

Confronting Your Purpose In This World With the Help of the Bible
The thing that many people in the Bible fail to realize is that it is not merely a story about things happening on Earth. Instead, it is a story about things happening “in Heaven” and on Earth. This is surprisingly more complicated than most people understand.

Human Origins And The Bible: Solving the Genesis Population Problem
Most traditional evangelical Christians believe that Adam and Eve were the first (and at one point, the ONLY) human beings in existence in the relatively recent past. I count myself among them. I don’t “believe in” theistic evolution, and I also don’t “believe in” evolution in general. While things obviously evolve, any use of “evolution”…

The Light of the World Explained

The Legal Question Coming to Your State: When Is It Okay to Kill a Baby?
The Supreme Court in December heard a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. A common misunderstanding about this case is that it will DECIDE the issue of abortion. That is most definitely false. Instead, it will turn the question over…
Explaining “Lucifer” in the Bible
This post is going to explain what the name “Lucifer” means in the Bible. But there is a long answer and a short answer to this question. I’ll give the “Short Answer” first. The Short Answer to what “Lucifer” Means The word “Lucifer” is not a name. It is the Latin phrase for “light-bearing,” or…
