Case-Making 101: Forensic Faith
“J. Warner Wallace’s ‘Forensic Faith’ completes the trilogy of wonderful books making the evidentiary case for the historicity and veracity of the Christian faith in language that twenty-first [century] Americans can clearly and readily understand. I have seldom seen an approach to verifying the truth claims of the Christian faith that is more effective than… Continue Reading
Case-Making 101: A Resurrection Apologetic
The Resurrection is the lynchpin that marks the Christian faith, the only faith that claims their leader defeated death. Many skeptics, cultist and some from other faiths dispute the fact of the Resurrection and some even say that Jesus did not die on the cross. Dr. William Lane Craig, World Renowned Christian Apologist, Theologian and… Continue Reading
Case-Making 101: A Case for the Eyewitnesses of Jesus
I often hear skeptics and atheists say things like, “the Bible is the same as all the other ‘holy books’ that tell mythological stories.” Nothing could be further from the truth!

Case-Making 101: Who Do You Say Jesus Is?
“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either… Continue Reading
Case-Making 101: Why do all Christians need to be case-making apologists?
Why is there a need for Christians to make a case? We find ourselves in a “post-Christian,” and some would argue “anti-Christian,” western culture today, and the fact that more and more young people are identify their religion as “none” is alarming. Major research groups are now reporting that “nones” have taken over as the… Continue Reading
Case-Making 101: Bible study, How do I begin?
Food For Thought: Food for our physical bodies vs. food for our spiritual bodies—are there similarities? We feed our bodies daily, in fact studies suggest that eating six small meals a day might be the healthiest way to maintain blood sugar levels and proper weight. If we compare that to the way we feed our… Continue Reading
Case-Making 101: The Importance of Prayer
“I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.” ― Martin Luther “Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For though the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak!” Matthew 26:41 As a Christian Apologist I find that prayer is often not in the… Continue Reading
Case-Making 101: The Story of Reality and the Bible Fast Forward
In my view the three most important questions we can ask are: Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going? Origin, purpose, and destiny. If your belief in these three areas doesn’t match up with reality, then it is time to take a look at what the God of the… Continue Reading
