This week we’re talking about the diminishing number of people in the U.S. who claim to be Christians. This is nothing new and we’ve discussed this before on the podcast. However, a recent study suggested the possibility that “Christianity” could become a minority religion in the U.S. as early as 2045. What does this mean for us? We’ll consider that in our episode today.Continue Reading

This week, instead of a regular episode, I’m going to be sharing the audio from a sermon I preached recently for the congregation where I preach regularly – the Eastside church of Christ in Morgantown, KY. The sermon is titled, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, and is based upon a passage in Psalm 139. So many of the problems in our society (abortion, transgenderism, racism, etc.) are the result of people either rejecting or never learning the principles contained in this passage. Since we discuss social issues on this podcast and this sermon is related to that, I thought it would be good to share.Continue Reading

This week we’re going to be talking about the U.S. government providing funding to promote atheism worldwide. This, of course, has led to some political debate; but that’s not why we’re talking about it here. I try to steer clear of politics on this podcast (not that I don’t have opinions on such things, but this isn’t the place for it); however, we do talk about government from time to time because that IS a Biblical topic. So we’re going to consider this from that perspective today.Continue Reading
“For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well” (Psalm 139:13-14).
The Bible clearly identifies God as the creator of all things. The verse above makes this personal, showing that each one of us has been created by Him. The psalmist used two words to describe this:
The fact that we have been “fearfully and wonderfully made” teaches certain things about us. These are important to note, especially given certain mentalities and behaviors that are pervasive in our society.Continue Reading
Atheism is the belief that there is no God. Humanism, which is related to atheism, is the philosophical ideology that values human reasoning over religion and superstition. Being opposed to religion, humanism embraces secularism.
Those who argue in favor of atheism will claim that there is no evidence for the existence of God. Those who embrace atheism and humanism believe that society is better off without religion. They believe that the universe came about by chance and that we are the product of evolution. Some atheists/humanists are indifferent toward religion while others are openly antagonistic toward “people of faith.”Continue Reading
Peter issued this challenge to all Christians: “But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence” (1 Peter 3:15). However, many Christians feel unprepared to do this; therefore, many conversations that could potentially lead people to the truth never get started.
This book will help equip all Christians to start engaging in spiritual conversations with those around them by providing simple answers to some basic Bible questions. Being ready to give an answer does not mean having an answer to every possible question at the drop of a hat. Instead, it means being able to give a ready answer to questions that are fundamental to our faith that can open the door to further discussions and studies with those who are interested. By studying the material in this book and becoming familiar with the Scriptures cited in each answer, Christians will be better prepared and have more confidence when they discuss their faith with others.
