Louise Perry has written a feminist critique of the sexual revolution, and it’s brave, excoriating, and magnificent. (9 minute read) The Case Against the Sexual Revolution isn’t a Christian book. Perry’s critique is rooted in evolutionary biology, feminist passion, and empirical observation, not biblical interpretation or theology. (We could of course argue that feminist passionContinue reading “The Sexual Revolution Has Failed”

Reading This Is Worth Your Time
Did time exist before the creation of the world? Many Christians believe that time was created along with the physical universe, and that there was no time “before” creation. Is this feasible?First, let’s consider the nature of time. What is “time”? Time is closely associated with change. We measure the passage of time by observing change, perhaps physically by meansContinue reading “Reading This Is Worth Your Time”
The Queen of Sciences
In Europe during the High Middle Ages, schools of higher learning utilized the trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) and quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy) of classical liberal arts. It was in this environment that theology was named “queen of the sciences.” Theology as Science When we think of “science,” we usually think of theContinue reading “The Queen of Sciences”
The Oldest Lie
In Genesis 3 we behold the “Tree of Knowledge.” The serpent tempts humanity’s first couple with a pitch to be “like God, knowing good and evil” (Gen. 3:5). We typically use the English word “know” in ways that blur the meaning of Genesis. Allow me to offer a real-life scenario in which our English wordContinue reading “The Oldest Lie”
The Riches of God
The unsearchable riches of Christ. Ephesians 3:8 My Master has riches beyond the calculation of arithmetic, the measurement of reason, the dream of imagination, or the eloquence of words. They are unsearchable! You may look and study and ponder, but Jesus is a greater Savior than you think Him to be even when your thoughtsContinue reading “The Riches of God”

Beyond and Behind It All
I fell in love with astronomy and the mysteries of the night sky when my parents enrolled me in a science magnet elementary school. The school was equipped with a basic planetarium, and I remember as a kindergartner wondering, Is that all really up in the sky? My heart’s curiosity was further sparked by StarContinue reading “Beyond and Behind It All”
It Still Takes My Breath
I gently lift the baby from his cradle and hold him gingerly in my arms. He wiggles, he kicks, he grunts, and then, settling for just a moment, he seems to gaze at me inquisitively. I look at his little hands as they grasp my thumb and I wonder: What blessings will come to othersContinue reading “It Still Takes My Breath”
Faith from a British Museum
In 2019, I visited the British Museum, taking a tour of exhibits with a connection to biblical events. Viewing physical objects tied to events described in the Bible offered color to the Scripture’s black-and-white words. I marveled at the different items in the museum collection—items like a six-foot black obelisk depicting King Jehu and aContinue reading “Faith from a British Museum”

On Christmas Day 2021, NASA launched the James Webb Space Telescope. This successor to the Hubble Telescope cost $10 billion and took nearly a month to arrive at its destination a million miles from earth.
