A Case for Creation 101: The Tower of Babel – What happened there, and how does that affect us today?
Why are we humans so different, or are we? If we have been conditioned to see the the differences then they will stand out to us, but if we look at everyone as the human race, and not individual races, we will find more similarities than dissimilarities!

A Case for Creation 101: What about the Dinosaurs?
One of the most popular questions asked in Genesis and Creation related classes, is: What about the dinosaurs?

A Case for Creation 101: Noah’s Flood and The Age of The Earth?
I have friends and mentors on both sides of the Christian debate concerning the age of the earth (Old Earth Creationists/Young Earth Creationists).

Concerning the October 1st Las Vegas shooting tragedy, ABC news reported: “Las Vegas native Jimmy Kimmel was both visibly shaken and determined to send a message during an emotional monologue Monday night about the shooting, “a terrible, inexplicable, shocking and painful tragedy.

These are some of the most popular questions asked over the centuries and are still being debated today: Where did I come from? (origin) What is my purpose? (reason for existence) Where am I going?
