Irv and I recently took a road trip to Kentucky where we visited the Creation Museum in Petersburg and the Ark Encounter in Williamstown. Both are sponsored by the Answers in Genesis ministry which is led by CEO and founder Kenneth Ham. Ken is an Australian Christian fundamentalist, young earth creation apologist, and he lives in the United States. Ken Ham’s stated goal is to help and encourage Bible-believing Christians to know how to defend biblical creation.  Both attractions present the salvation message and evidence that throughout God’s Word points to salvation through Jesus Christ.

This was a long anticipated as well as outstanding inspirational ...

On the 14th of Nisan, each Israelite family was to take a lamb from the flock to sacrifice. The hope was that the angel of the Lord would pass over their home when He saw the blood of the lamb. What were the requirements for the lamb? It must be a yearling from either the sheep or goats. It must have no defect or blemish. It was to be taken into the home on the 10th of Nisan and slain at twilight on the 14th. Unlike any other sheep, this unique lamb was called the ARNION or Passover Lamb.

The trip took approximately one hour depending on traffic levels. For one hour each way my dad would talk to me about customers, sales, promotion, product art and design, production, in short, how he did business and led an ad agency. It was my graduate course in business. I learned a ton! So much so that when my dad was ...

Christians are to love the lost, after all, Christ Jesus died for the lost. The Bible teaches that they’ll know we are Christians by our love (John 13:35). Does that mean that because we love people, we don’t confront their sin? No. We are to “speak the truth in love” to them, even if they will not receive it (Ephesians 4:15). The Bible declares, in no uncertain terms, that homosexuality is not simply an equal to heterosexuality or an alternate lifestyle; it is a sin. So, as a Christian, may I humbly share what the whole Bible says regarding the sin of homosexuality?  The Bible references this sin in many passages and universally condemns it.  It is never affirmed, promoted, countenanced, or pronounced ...
