    Published on July 12th 2011 03:52 PM

    Just to let everyone know that this Saturday, the debate will be between Richard Weikart and Hector Avalos on the effect of evolution on Nazism. It should be interesting, especially for us since this topic is debated so much here and that Hector Avalos's name comes with a hideous reputation. ...

    I'm privileged to be joined by theologian/scientist/philosopher Alister McGrath and Physicist Roger Penrose next week for a show discussing Hawkings statements concerning the creation of the universe and whether God is a redundant entity.

    McGrath has written extensively on the intersection of science and faith. His 2008 book "A Fine Tuned Universe" seeks to show how natural theology and current science are bringing about a fruitful debate on the existence of God.

    Sir Roger Penrose is a famed Oxford Mathematician and Physicist (and distinguished member of the British Humanist Association) who worked alongside Hawking to develop theorems regarding gravitational singularities. He will also present his ...

    The Evangelical Universalist - will everyone be saved?

    Published on October 21st 2009 03:05 AM



    Check out the "Unbelievable?" show of 17 October 2009 dealing with Robin Parry, commissioning editor of Paternoster in the UK, "Coming out" of the evangelical closet to state his beliefs in universalism.

    Fascinating discussion with Robin. Whether he can remain in the fold of an evangelical publisher holding the view he does remains to be seen.

    Robin believes his view to be Biblically sound. How would some of our atheist friends feel about the idea that they too are bound for eternal glory, whether they feel like it in this life or not?

    And what do Christians make of the idea? He proposes that everyone who goes to hell will ultimately choose to be redeemed from ...

    Check out the Unbelievable episode that discusses the film - click here

    Have you seen the film? What did you think? (Its came out in the UK on Sep 25 - is USA still having trouble getting ditributor?)

    Looking at the trailer it looks like Richard Dawkins heaven. But watching the full thing felt a bit more nuanced. Did they intend the actor playing Huxley, to actually look like a bulldog... excellent casting. ...

    A Glory Seed Devotional
    A strong and trustworthy anchor for your soul

    This morning in my prayer journal I wrote, “LORD, my imagination is filled with junk like that. I am struggling hard against the pull of “powers and principalities of this world” but they are (at least right now) becoming stronger and stronger. I can’t pull myself up and as hard as I try I cannot envision any hope I know the songs they are singing are not right but they seem so right. Please Father God drown them out with your songs of HOPE and PEACE. PLEASE!”

    I share those words with you not to get your sympathy but to grab your attention not to me or my situation nor to what I wrote I want you to focus on the ever present... read more

    Why I Ignore Most Internet Atheists

    Including a number on here.

    The text is as follows:

    Why is it sometimes best to just not bother? Let's talk about it on Deeper Waters.

    Before leaping into the meat of this post, let's make a few clarifications.

    No. Not every atheist is an internet atheist. I refer to a general type of person by this. If you are on the internet and an atheist and are highly informed and can show it and have done your homework on what you and I both believe, then I do not consider you an internet atheist.

    Yes. I realize too many Christians are just as ignorant. If you think I've been silent on this matter, then you haven't been reading my blog... read more

    A Glory Seed Devotional
    Stay Vertical

    With my two artificial hips and extremely fragile femurs one of my greatest fears over the winter months is slipping and falling on ice and snow now that there is no more ice and snow I still fear falling in the yard or riding my bike. One of my favorite sayings throughout the year is “Stay Vertical!” In other words don’t fall!

    However, my fear of falling goes beyond physically falling and injuring myself it “falls” into my spiritual life as well. It was Paul who said, “We have all fallen short of the Glory of God.” In his letter to Titus he STRONGLY reminds us to stay “upright” (stay vertical) “in the present age” because just as in his days there... read more

    An Unbelievable? Podcast

    What can we learn from our friends across the pond?

    The text is as follows:

    What's coming up on the Deeper Waters podcast? Let's talk about it today on Deeper Waters.

    I actually just finished the interview for the Deeper Waters podcast about half an hour or so ago. This time, I interviewed Justin Brierley of Unbelievable? and talked with him about the show Unbelievable? and about the conference of the same name happening annually in the U.K.

    Unbelievable? has been one of my favorite shows since I've started listening. Justin Brierley is a wonderful host/moderator who brings on excellent guests and who manages to remain quite neutral in his... read more

    A Glory Seed Devotional
    Jesus, Gyroscopes, and You

    D.L. Moody in his book “Thoughts for the Quiet Hour” writes, “We need have only one care, that we put the first thing first—faithfulness to God. Then all else we need for both worlds will be supplied. God will never fail us: but we forget, sometimes, in our rejoicing over such an assurance, that we must fulfill our part if we would claim the divine promise. It will not always be easy. To-morrow it may mean a distasteful task, a disagreeable duty, a costly sacrifice for one who does not seem worthy. Life is full of sore testings of our willingness to follow the Good Shepherd. We have not the slightest right to claim this assurance unless we have taken Christ... read more

    Are All Beliefs To Be Respected?

    Do we have respect wrong?

    The link can be found here

    The text is as follows:

    Are we misunderstanding respect? Let's talk about it on Deeper Waters.

    Quite recently, I have seen several interactions in the internet world with people of different beliefs and each time I have seen statements like "I respect your beliefs" or "Let's all try to respect the beliefs of one another." I understand why some people make such sentiments, but I cannot help but think that they are fundamentally built on an error.

    For instance, let's suppose I think a belief is fundamentally false. In fact, not only do I think that the belief is false, but I also think that it is... read more

    A Glory Seed Devotional
    Jesus wants to be the only life between God and you!

    When the going gets tough the tough instead of depending on their own abilities surrender their toughness to an unbeatable God who according to Jeremiah (chapter 29) promises us an unbeatable plan for their lives, and according to the writer of Hebrews “God can’t break his word.”

    “When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee—God can't break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable. We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It's an unbreakable spiritual... read more

    Apologetics Inoculation

    An ounce of prevention....

    The text is as follows:

    Are we prepared for missions service? Let's talk about it on Deeper Waters.

    Let's suppose your church group was wanting to go on a mission trip to a country in Africa. You were told that you are going to an area where Malaria is common. There is a harmless vaccination you can get to inoculate you against the disease that is also inexpensive. Or, you could go and get it and afterwards have a much harder time recovering from the sickness and enjoying all the effects of it.

    Which one do you do?
