Numerous articles have been sparked by Brian Palmer’s piece on the Christian medical “missionaries” and the Ebola crisis. They include the following at MereOrthodoxy, Ethic’s Daily, New York Times!, and BreakPoint. These have mostly focused on the motivations of Christian healthcare workers and how scary this is for many. I
Charles Darwin would probably be surprised by today’s claims of “settled science.” In Canada the issue of so-called same-sex “marriage” is “settled” and any questioning is considered “hate speech,” putting a damper on the freedom of speech. (For the story on this see Same-Sex Marriage Ten Years On: Lessons from Canada.)
Most likely you have seen an iPad. Maybe you own an Ipad. In any case, the iPad is a ubiquitous demonstration of the biblical principle of vocation as calling. Imagine the massive cultural renewal that would result if every Christian really understood that their work, their vocation, was a calling
Recently we published a post, “Take It From the Darwinists: “We Deliberately Ignore the Evidence.” The gist of the piece was that Darwinists have openly admitted that they ignore scientific evidence which refutes atheism. In other words, evolutionary scientists refuse to consider evidence contrary to their paradigm. We’re not talking

As for the first, two big evidence gaps confront proponents of macro-evolution. There
For years abortion supporters argued that the science supported their cause, that pro-lifers were functioning only from “religious convictions.” But recent developments in biology support the pro-life argument that science and theology are not in conflict.

We recently posted Scott Wisley’s story about working with farmers in Papua. That post resonates with another account of an alert cross-cultural servant working with agriculturalists. On a trip to Kenya, I shared dinner with an agronomist working for a local Christian relief and development organization. He explained how he
In 1859 English Naturalist Charles Darwin published his paradigm shifting, world changing book, On The Origin of Species. Darwin argued that the theory of evolution provides an explanation for how life could evolve from natural causes. Academics and humanists, already atheistic for moral reasons, now had a metaphysical theory that could
British scientist Steven Hawking is reported to have recently said that heaven is “a fairy story” for people afraid of the dark. As those who believe in heaven, we can either respond with indignation, or we can engage the discussion thoughtfully with transformed minds (Romans 12:2). And when we do, we see
