Reviewing ‘Covenantal Apologetics’ by K. Scott Oliphint
“Looked at simply as a book about presuppositional apologetics this is a welcome addition. Between the customary Introduction and Conclusion there are seven informative chapters… the author has thought through how best to present the logic of the approach, and he brings in some useful refinements in this area; refinements which readers will appreciate.”
A Review of Stephen C. Meyer’s “Darwin’s Doubt”
This new book by Meyer describes the hopeless disarray into which evolutionary explanations of the Cambrian Explosion have come. The author convincingly shows how the evidence does not comport with Neo-Darwinism, but in fact contradicts it at many crucial points.
Apologetics and Your Children (Pt. 9) – Is “All Truth God’s Truth”?
“What I am saying is that if the phrase “All Truth is God’s Truth” is to be of any acceptable use to us it has to bear a meaning which we can take to God as in agreement with His Word. We must not let our kids leave our homes with the slippery notion that we can decide what is true and then expect the Lord to place His Divine imprimatur on our assessment.”
Apologetics and Your Children (Pt.8) – Do The Facts Speak For Themselves?
“How can soft tissue survive for so long? Answer..it can’t. But there it is. Does this evidence persuade dinosaur experts that dinosaurs lived in recent times? That would be where the evidence led, right? But of course not. No more than ancient drawings of dinosaurs from all over the world influence them. Worldviews get in the way!”
Challenges to the Real Jesus
This lesson aims at giving a basic presentation of some of the major false Jesus’s which have been set forth as replacements for the Jesus of the Bible.
Apologetics and Your Children (Pt. 7) – Touting the Absurd
“Christians to whom God has given children should be aware of where the rhetoric of the world leads. They should take note of what the Bible says about the world and its lusts, and how the wisdom of this world is so contrary to the true wisdom of God in Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 1:20-24). They should learn from the mistakes of the past and never yield an inch in their allegiance to the clear sense of God’s Word.”
Review of ‘Schaeffer on the Christian Life’ by William Edgar
“In their choice of William Edgar to write this book the publishers could not have done better. Edgar was converted through Schaeffer’s ministry and knew the Schaeffer’s well. Although Edgar incorporates personal reminiscences and reflections on the man, his evaluation is free of sentimentality and panegyric. Schaeffer on the Christian Life is a sympathetic yet objective appraisal of its subject, calculated to promote the spirituality it records.”
Apologetics and Your Children (Pt. 6) – Avoiding Lazy Thinking
“
Now surely it follows from this that what we like to call “wicked people” people aren’t actually wicked? (Dawkins says there is no evil or good). Their neurons just function in a way which make them commit acts against others which we don’t like? Dawkins himself (along with Christopher Hitchens and others) have branded Christianity as an evil. But he has also called it “a virus of the mind.” In other words, Christians are sick in the head. Well, if we are sick, and there is no evil, how can we be evil? This interpretation of Dawkins even manages to contradict some of his most cherished dogmas.”
Apologetics and Your Children (5) – God, Man and the World
“A triad is a kind of three-in-one. Each member of the triad is connected to the other two. This triad deals with relationships, but I told my friend that his “God, self and others” triad was pretty close to my own theological triad: God, Man, and the World. These three things are also inseparably linked. You cannot think about the world without thinking about yourself and vice versa. And even atheists cannot comprehend these two without facing the question of God; even if they always try to push Him away.”
Apologetics and Your Children (4) – Inculcating the Right Worldview
“One thing is for sure; if any of these pat opinions take hold in the hearts of our kids, Christian Truth claims will be held with less conviction – maybe they’ll settle merely temporarily at the most superficial level of a childhood habit? We don’t want that!”
