Here are two sermons recently preached at Midlane Park Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church.
March 20, 2008: “The Humiliation of the Cross” (Matthew 27:33-44)
March 23, 2008:  “The End of the Cross” (Matthew 28:1-10)

A while back I wrote a post that featured links to two open letters written to the notorious atheist, Richard Dawkins. Along those lines, I came across this video, from James White’s website, where he features a clip from Dawkins and explains the fallacious nature of his attempts at his brand of materialistic reasoning.

In some […]

I was reading an article this morning about the innovation (back in the day!) of moving from scrolls to codices (essentially the book format) for recording manuscripts (hey, you get to use both sides of the page!). It reminded me of this video I watched a while back on “Medieval Tech Support.” Very funny and […]

My wife pointed me to this news story, which is so incredibly strange that it is almost unbelievable (I did check Snopes before posting this). It sounds more like a science fiction story, and it might actually be humorous if it weren’t so tragic.
In Australia, an 81-year-old man downloaded plans from the internet and used […]

The second objection leveled against the “Shock Quotes” post was this one by Thomas Huxley:
No rational man, cognizant of the facts, believes that the average Negro is the equal, still the superior, of the white man. … It is simply incredible [to think] that … he will be able to compete successfully with his bigger-brained […]

A blogger, perusing some of my older threads and wishing to defend evolution and evolutionists, has taken issue with a couple of my “Shock Quotes” from a few weeks ago. The charge is that the quotes were butchered and taken out of context (which, ironically, was part of the point of the original post). So, […]

It is not uncommon to hear in the midst of common discourse between a believer and non-believer for the non-believer/non-Christian to demand “proof” from the Christian (for anything from the existence of God, to the divinity of Christ, to the inspiration of Scripture, etc.). While this demand is not unreasonable in itself, it often leads […]

This sermon was preached at Midlane Park Presbyterian Church on March 2, 2008.

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness   2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and […]

One of the big differences between God and the evil one in Scripture is that of truth. Whereas God cannot and does not lie (Titus 1:2; Hebrews 6:18), the devil is referred to as the “Father of Lies” (John 8:44). Adam was created to be a prophet (at least in the general sense), meaning that […]

Even though I am personally against it exegetically, I believe it is possible to be a faithful Christian and believe in an old earth. Of course, presuppositions will factor into this, but as long as one holds to the historicity of Genesis 1-11 and believes that the man and woman were a special creation by […]
