Average Apologetics

While performing complicated mathematics may not be fun for everyone, the outcome is at least safe for all. Social division, on the other hand, is a dangerous outcropping of basic human nature that often has devastating effects. Today, we examine a few recent examples of the cost of division manifesting itself in both humorous and tragic situations. In all of this, I leave you with this question: with all of humanity's divisive nature, what is the outcome for society in the total absence of God's absolute moral law?

Is there anything that we say or do that is without any reason? Or, is even the attempt to deny reason a futile effort? In this installment, I discuss the nature of reason, the flaw in attempting to dismiss reason entirely, and what happens when we speak, post on social media, or act without thinking things through.

Here are the two quotes I mention in this episode from the late Stephen Hawking:

“Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing.”

AND

“I believe the simplest explanation is, there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization that there probably is no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for that, I am extremely grateful.”

Today, we dig a little deeper into the problem of Marxism and how it is infiltrating the way we think about society. 

Where can truth be found? Is it upon on the mountaintops? Is it in the pulpits? Is it from behind the anchor desks? Or, is it in the last place we look? Join us as we take a look at how the truth is being displayed in the world around us... and how it's being obscured.

One of the core principles of a Christian worldview is understanding that we are all sinners. Today we'll take a brief look at how that twists our perspective and gets in the way of understanding spiritual matters or even the basics of objective reality. Without a grasp of the total depravity of the human race, understanding Christianity is essentially impossible.

Knowledge is power, but the more you know, the more you realize you don't really know yet. Words also have power, but to what extent? Join us today as we discuss the power of language and the societal transformation that is threatening to undermine that power!

If someone walks up to you and asks you how much for you to sell your house on the spot, you probably can come up with a number, right? There's a price tag on just about everything. Unfortunately, for much of western society, that also includes human life. Today, we consider the true value of human life and just how far we as a society have slipped away from that understanding.

This is it! The moment is finally here, where we begin our descent into madness... well, sort of. 

Today marks the beginning of our study series on Marxism. Join us as we discuss the origins of this ideology that is subverting nations and corrupting the minds of countless young people oblivious to the realities of the dangers it presents. 

Empathy is useful when establishing and cultivating relationships with others, but, like anything, it can be used against us. Empathy devoid of knowledge is just as dangerous as intentionally misleading people away from the truth. Truly sound empathy can only be effectively exercised from a place of wisdom. Join us today, as we take a look at a couple of recent examples of human perspective being twisted by a lack of fundamental understanding of God's design, one in error and one by intent. 

This is the first installment of our Wednesday Studies series for the daily program! Today, we try to briefly lay out the framework for a Biblical theistic perspective of the supernal being of God and our relationship to Him.
