I don't claim to be an expert on the Orthodox religion, and I understand that every sect has its extremes. But to me, this, to me, seems like a good reason to stay away from Orthodoxy. Like Catholicism, such a practice reeks of blasphemy—the veneration of men deemed...
In the Old Testament, the account of Lot's escape from Sodom and Gomorrah stands as a merciful, yet unyielding testament to the gravity of God's judgment against the moral decay that is prevalent in a society that has turned its back on God. This ancient yet timeless...

The phenomenon of inter-religious idolatry is nothing new and has been a mainstay of Paganism since the fall. Simply because some religious sects refer to themselves as "Christian" does not make it so. God, through the revelation of Himself and recorded in the...
With the cultural drive to subdue the entire population of the world into a collective state of sexual disorder comes the urgent and ever-growing need to shield our children from it. It seems like every day we're seeing another headline about boys who dress like girls...

As the eschatological clock continues to tick, and as we ever approach Christ's return, it seems like every self-promoting, virtue-signaling Evangelical has jumped on the bandwagon of ever-shifting cultural movements. These trends, ranging from the use of preferred...
In previous columns, I have dealt with the mistakes, uncertainties, ambiguities, contradictions, and general unreliability with radiometric dating of fossils. The dates produced by many modern methods are often dates that are called “scientifically correct” but...
In the biblical narrative of John 8:7, we find an account of a woman caught in the act of adultery. The religious leaders of the day, eager to test Jesus, brought the woman before Him and asked if she should be stoned according to the Law of Moses. Jesus, in His...

The state of Oregon has placed a heavy burden on conservative Christian families seeking to adopt by enacting Rule 413-200-0308. This new rule, which outlines the personal qualifications for potential adoptive parents and certified resource families, blatantly...
