How RC Sproul Helped Patch Up a Fight Between Me and Sam
An excerpt from the book, I am my father's son
This is one of my favorite stories about my Dad. Enjoy this excerpt about how RC Sproul helped us patch up one of rare rough spots… Sam and I rarely fought. Even as a kid, I don’t remember any face to face screaming matches with Sam. As adults, we were respectable, and we dealt with... Continue Reading
What’s With Duck Dynasty?

The content is clean and features a close-knit intact family who are unapologetic about their Christian faith. It’s amusing, it’s quirky, it’s clean and it’s wildly popular.... Continue Reading
How to Help Your Child Read with Discernment
So how do we as parents determine what is a good book for our children to read?
Helping your child learn how to read with discernment is one of the best gifts a parent can give. Giving them a solid biblical foundation and worldview is the key. Rather than feed your children books to keep them busy, choose books that nourish their heart and soul. And, as C. S. Lewis once said,... Continue Reading
Is the Old Testament God a Moral Monster?
Interview with apologist Paul Copan about his new book
The response to the book has been remarkable. Several prominent blogs have highlighted it as “the best defense of Old Testament ethics.” Scot McKnight at Patheos.com has done a series on my book, and I continue to be interviewed on radio programs and by prominent bloggers. I am regularly speaking on this topic of Old Testament ethics—including... Continue Reading

A Response to Zealot by Reza Aslan
A conspiracy theory bias plus significant historical and linguistic errors
… Zealot is seriously flawed in many ways. There are many factual errors (some of which I will highlight below), but more importantly, Aslan’s approach matches the flawed approach of Jesus Seminar scholars, which is almost guaranteed to produce a skewed picture of Jesus. Zealot’s claim is essentially a conspiracy theory: Jesus was really a... Continue Reading
No Gospel Without Wrath
Why would a denomination want to remove a hymn’s reference to God’s wrath?
We cannot rejoice enough over what God has done for us. Let’s sing and preach about His wrath, warn the unrepentant what’s coming, and tell them that through Christ alone, as the hymn states, they can avoid it. That is the gospel When I read that the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) decided to exclude from its hymnals the song “In... Continue Reading
Christian Biographies for Young Readers
A review of Simonetta Carr's excellent series
If you haven’t stumbled across Simonetta Carr’s excellent set of “Christian Biographies for Young Readers,” you and your children are missing out. Each of the six titles in the series are beautifully illustrated, historically accurate, age-appropriate biographies for upper elementary-aged children. In the last couple years I have reviewed three of the titles and wanted... Continue Reading
Hymns on Broadway
Trip to Bountiful is a poetic cultural counterweight
This spontaneous audience choir has been happening every night, in every performance. It’s not normal Manhattan audience behavior: When The New York Times first noticed the singing, it published a story about it on the front page. The audience—largely African-American the night I attended–probably isn’t made up of typical New Yorkers. Two African-American ladies next to me... Continue Reading
Why I’m Not Reading Reza Aslan’s Book
We have to make our priorities when we read, and not every book that comes down the pike is worth the time
It’s not that I don’t read works that disagree with my own perspective on the reliability of the gospel accounts. I do. Nevertheless it’s hard to justify setting aside time to read a work that is breaking no new ground. And apart from an awkward interview, I don’t think anyone would even be talking about...
