POLITICS. Is there anything more divisive today? There’s an ongoing unwritten rule in the workplace that co-workers aren’t to discuss religion or politics. For the longest time, I felt it was silly, but that was back during a different time. It was a time when you wouldn’t know one’s political party unless you asked. It... Continue Reading →
THE BABY AND THE BATHWATER: GOOD FROM EVIL
I hate you! Racist! Bigot! (fill in the blank)phobe! Nazi! Crazy! Stupid! If you’ve been on the internet more than five minutes, you’ve undoubtedly encountered such terms being thrown around. The comments within any social media platform can be so toxic, you need a digital hazmat suit just to come out unscathed. Not only is... Continue Reading →
Man’s Moral Compass & the Absolute Standard (PART 3)
MORALITY. Where does it come from, what is the standard, and who can make such a declaration? These are all things I've touched on in this series. In PART 1, I wrote on whether one must subscribe to theism if there is a desire to claim a sense of morality. In PART 2, I highlighted... Continue Reading →
Man’s Moral Compass & the Absolute Standard (PART 2)
MORALITY. In my PREVIOUS ARTICLE, I wrote on whether one must subscribe to theism if there is a desire to claim a sense of morality. Ultimately, I concluded that a rejection of theism automatically disqualifies one of having any sense of justification behind their moral code. It becomes a meaningless standard with no authority to... Continue Reading →
Man’s Moral Compass & the Absolute Standard (PART 1)
MORALITY. It’s something I feel most people desire to possess. Whether it be a Christian, a questioning unbeliever, or a staunch atheist, people from all three categories generally try to be a good person, whatever that may look like within their worldview. The question is not one of whether a person can desire to be... Continue Reading →
Who Is the Author of Sin?
AUTHORSHIP. As I sit here and write this article, I find it interesting to be writing on the topic of authorship. Having authored several books of my own, I am intimately familiar with the process of forming thoughts, putting them into words, and seeing the final outcome of being published in written form. However, this... Continue Reading →
Is Gender Real?
GENDER. What is it? Is it just another word for biological sex, or is it a word that has assumed a more modern and relativistic meaning? This seems to be the great debate. Personally, I affirm the former. While some may attempt to argue my position, they would first have to take on the historical... Continue Reading →

It’s time for the next installment of this ongoing series. For those who have been following it, I hope you have found it to be beneficial. For those who are new, this series has been a response to a Presbyterian brother’s own series titled Reasons for Infant Baptism. I recommend reading the previous articles (REASONS...

REASONS FOR INFANT BAPTISM? PART 3 (Still Searching…)
This is a continuation of two previous articles (see REASONS 1-8 and REASONS 9-16) I wrote as a response to a Presbyterian brother’s so-called “Reasons for Infant Baptism.” As with before, I will continue to provide my response and refutation to each of his points. If you have been following my articles on this subject,... Continue Reading →
REASONS FOR INFANT BAPTISM? PART 2
A couple months ago, I wrote an article that entailed my responses to eight supposed reasons for paedobaptism. These “reasons” were all proposed by a brother in Christ which led to some great discussion. Just as I did with the first eight, I intend to show why these seven additional reasons (#9 thru #16) aren’t... Continue Reading →
