Apologetics and Your Children (Pt. 7) – Touting the Absurd
“Christians to whom God has given children should be aware of where the rhetoric of the world leads. They should take note of what the Bible says about the world and its lusts, and how the wisdom of this world is so contrary to the true wisdom of God in Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 1:20-24). They should learn from the mistakes of the past and never yield an inch in their allegiance to the clear sense of God’s Word.”
Apologetics and Your Children (Pt. 6) – Avoiding Lazy Thinking
“
Now surely it follows from this that what we like to call “wicked people” people aren’t actually wicked? (Dawkins says there is no evil or good). Their neurons just function in a way which make them commit acts against others which we don’t like? Dawkins himself (along with Christopher Hitchens and others) have branded Christianity as an evil. But he has also called it “a virus of the mind.” In other words, Christians are sick in the head. Well, if we are sick, and there is no evil, how can we be evil? This interpretation of Dawkins even manages to contradict some of his most cherished dogmas.”
Apologetics and Your Children (5) – God, Man and the World
“A triad is a kind of three-in-one. Each member of the triad is connected to the other two. This triad deals with relationships, but I told my friend that his “God, self and others” triad was pretty close to my own theological triad: God, Man, and the World. These three things are also inseparably linked. You cannot think about the world without thinking about yourself and vice versa. And even atheists cannot comprehend these two without facing the question of God; even if they always try to push Him away.”
Apologetics and Your Children (4) – Inculcating the Right Worldview
“One thing is for sure; if any of these pat opinions take hold in the hearts of our kids, Christian Truth claims will be held with less conviction – maybe they’ll settle merely temporarily at the most superficial level of a childhood habit? We don’t want that!”
Apologetics and Your Children (3) – We Are Losing Our Kids!
According to a Barna poll 66% of these kids are deserting their Christian upbringing. And the figure may be even higher. A survey conducted by the SBC asserts that 88% of young people walk away from the faith never to return. And there is no sign of any abatement. Something is badly amiss, and Christian parents especially need to stop pretending everything’s okay so long as their kid or teenager has a good time at church.
Apologetics and Your Children (2) – The Price of Truth
the Bible unsurprisingly counters the world’s advice by stating bluntly that it is the height of folly to base anything on how we may think or feel about it. We do not consult our hearts. We consult God’s Word. Does our sanguine attitude to trendiness and personal choice not teach our kids that those values are to be highly prized by them? What happens to Truth in such an atmosphere?
Tolkien and Lewis on Virtue: ‘On the Shoulders of Hobbits’
On the Shoulders of Hobbits is more than just an entertaining read. He is concerned about illustrating the virtues (Justice, Self-control, Wisdom, Courage, Faith, Hope, Love), by means of, primarily, The Lord of the Rings [LOTR] and, secondarily, The Chronicles of Narnia, and what he has to say should be heeded.
Apologetics and Your Children (1) – The Power of Negative Thinking
I’m going to begin where too few Christians today would want me to. I’m going to put in a plug for some good old-fashioned negative thinking!
