Essay

They shall never perish

You know the night. You failed. You went dry. Sleep would not come. Then the question sat on the bed with you.

Intra Muros: a sick woman’s vision of heaven

The Apologist

Golden dawn clouds

Scripture

Heaven, what will it be like?

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, and that is not a brush-off.

The Apologist

City street at dusk with glowing screens

Essay

Solomon was right. It’s all vanity.

Media trends, media outrage, world-ending headlines that vanish in a month. Fear God. Everything else comes and goes.

The Apologist

Ancient manuscripts on a wooden table

History

5,800 manuscripts. Still not enough for some people.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. The Gospels have more documentary muscle than the biographies we trust without blinking.

The Apologist

Two coffee cups on a wooden table

Evangelism Q&A

What do I say to an atheist at the table?

The Apologist

Quiet conversation table

Evangelism Q&A

How can God be three without being three gods?

The Apologist

Dusk skyline with distant spires

Religions compared

Jesus in the Gospels, Jesus in the Qur’an

Same name. Different man. One dies and rises. The other is rescued from the cross. They cannot both be reporting the same weekend.

The Apologist

Sunlit woodland path

Children’s story

The path through the trees

A children’s story about a girl who thought the woods were empty, and the voice that knew her name anyway.

The Apologist

A lamb in a misty pasture

Children’s story

The lamb who was not afraid

A small story for small people: the flock ran, the lamb stayed, and the dark turned out to have a voice.

The Apologist

Close photograph of the sun

Science & Faith

A nuclear reactor in the sky. Time and chance, they said.

A perfectly tuned furnace that could swallow a million Earths. Gotta love the accident story.

The Apologist

Cosmos with orbital geometry

Review

The fine-tuning argument, reviewed

The Apologist

Storm sky over ancient hills

Scripture

The Revelation rabbit hole

Barry Smith in the late ’90s, a cassette, and a book that still will not sit still. How to read the last pages without losing your mind.

The Apologist

Dark storm over hills

Objections

If God is good, why this?

The oldest objection still standing. It does not get a cute answer. It gets a cross.

The Apologist

Old manuscripts

Objections

Extraordinary claims, ordinary double standards

The Apologist

Wooden boat on a still lake at dawn

Miracles

The lake that went still

A storm, a boat, a sentence. Miracle reports are either lies, legends, or the world is not a closed box.

The Apologist

Still alpine lake at sunrise

Miracles

Some miracles look like a quiet surface

Not every sign is fireworks. Sometimes the proof is that the thing which should have drowned you didn’t.

The Apologist

Gothic cathedral interior with light

History

Why the old stones still matter

Gothic naves are not the gospel. They are what happens when a people believe the gospel long enough to stack rock toward the sky.

The Apologist

Telescope under the Milky Way

Science & Faith

A telescope is not a threat to Genesis

The more glass you put on the sky, the less the accident story comforts. Wonder is not the enemy of faith.
