Healing Hereafter

Who hasn't asked themselves what might lie on the other side of death? Discussions, books, movies, jobs, life goals, and entire worldviews are dedicated to this hugely important question! And for those who entertain Christianity's answer as an option on the table, they've almost certainly been...

If you’ve ever seriously contemplated writing and publishing a book, likely one of the primary thoughts driving you through the process was how the book would look as a finished product sitting there in all its literary glory on the bookstore shelf! And why not? One goal of most every writer is to...

Today I got to visit one of my favorite places: Joshua Tree National Park. It’s in the middle of nowhere in SoCal—a feat in itself—with huge piles of massive boulders decorating an otherwise desert landscape. Aside from its rugged beauty, it’s the best place I know of for amateur rock climbers to...

This seems like such an obviously crucial Christian concept, especially coming from an impartial and just God who claims to judge justly (Deuteronomy 32:4, 10:17, 1 Peter 2:23). One cannot judge justly, be he God or not, if he automatically saves or damns particular people or if he uses differing...

When you finish a paper—even a really, really long one—it may feel like you've written a book, but it sure doesn't look like a lovely little tome to crawl up with on the couch, right? It looks like a rather unwieldy, unfriendly blob of text that just keeps slithering up your screen as you scroll...

"You look so perfect in that outfit!" But often we really don't think so, do we? Let's be real, although...

Aw yeah, when you've had a rough day that brought you to the end of your rope and need you a little something to cheer you right up, nothing satisfies more than a pep talk on original sin, right? Ummm, no. So what is the business with this whole "we're all guilty from the time we're conceived"...

We all remember back to the days of high school chemistry when we learned that enzymes were proteins that worked as catalysts to lower the activation energy required to produce a chemical reaction. OK, actually me and like 6 other people remember that. But what the rest of you certainly will...

I can draw a stegosaurus really well. My Tyrannosaurus skills are on par but nothing special. And that's it. I can't draw anything else worth a squat. And I'm told squats are not worth as much as you might think. Therefore, when I finished the manuscript for Healing Hereafter—proofreading and...

The eternal fate of a deceased child has always been one of the more difficult issues to address in Christianity. The different answers are all very emotionally charged, especially for those who have lost a little one. There are also a lot of assumptions and misconceptions about what the Bible...
