Beginning At The Beginning
Beginning At The Beginning
Beginning At The Beginningby David Ragland  “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” – Genesis 1:1 “Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.” – Augustine Where did the Universe (the entire material realm) come from?

Philosophical Naturalism Irrationally Defies Inviolable Design Principles
Philosophical Naturalism Irrationally Defies Inviolable Design Principles
1 – In order to build anything complex, one must begin with a finished product in mind (a design). To design is to create, fashion, execute, or construct according to a plan. Natural forces are devoid of the cognitive resources needed to plan. Therefore, it is an absurd proposition to say that blind, unthinking forces could ever conceive a design, let alone carry out the complex processes…

Our Worldview, Its Significance
Our Worldview, Its Significance
From a book project underway: “Searching For Life’s Meaning and Purpose:Our Journey To Christian Truth” by David Ragland This is an essay from Part I of the book As Christians, we must see that just because an artist-even a great artist-portrays a worldview in writing or on canvas, it does not mean that we should automatically accept that worldview. Good art heightens the impact of that…

Repent Before Payday
Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. We deserve what we intentionally earn, and eternity as citizens of perdition (the second death) is our proper payment for sin.  “The second death is mentioned on multiple occasions in the book of Revelation and is synonymous with the lake of fire. It is a “death” in that it is a…

Moral Sense: Determining What’s Good
Moral Sense: Determining What’s Good
Moral Sense: Determining What’s Good
  “Why is there this almost universal moral sense? Why do we consider that “good” is a better thing than “evil”? Surely this recognition of good, so deeply rooted and so universal, is another far from negligible pointer to Reality.” – J. B. Phillips [1]
We seem to have an innate ability to sense and identify what is morally right and wrong. Does this sense…

Walking In The Light Of God's Truth
Walking In The Light Of God’s Truth
Apologetix 411 Message #104 April 13, 2020
“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:”
– 1 John 1:6
Our featured verse makes a strong, but easily understood statement regarding fellowship with God. We cannot walk in darkness and simultaneously claim to be in fellowship with God. Those who claim to be followers of Christ, but walk in the darkness…

Seeking Truth Faithfully
Seeking Truth Faithfully
Apologetix 411 Message #103 April 12, 2020
  “There is also a tendency inside all of us to believe things that are comfortable to believe, instead of following the evidence wherever it leads, and accepting whatever that evidence indicates. This tendency in thinking, however, should always be emphatically discouraged. While it might lead to a short-term feeling of comfort,…

Camouflage In Nature
Apologetix 411 Message #102 April 11, 2020
    Objects and their distinct features can be discovered by our senses; they are plainly seen (Rom 1:20). We can all agree that we find structurally beautiful phenomena in nature. Regarding living phenomena (organisms), our examinations of them lead many to make teleological inferences. Teleology, by the way, purports the existence of purpose driven…

Caring Enough To Be Equipped
Caring Enough To Be Equipped
Apologetix 411 Message #101 April 10, 2020
  First Word
Those who wish to engage in the ministry of Apologetics seek a good thing. However, just as with any ministry, we ought to critically examine our own readiness. Knowing what we believe and why is a good thing, but seeking to be persuasive is even better. To be persuasive, we need to be throughly prepared/equipped. To clarify, we have to ‘care’…

God Is Not Anti-Reason
God Is Not Anti-Reason
Apologetix 411 Message #99 April 8, 2020
“Of course, I reject atheism because I believe Christianity to be true. But I also reject it because I am a scientist. How could I be impressed with a worldview that undermines the very rationality we need to do science?…God is not anti-reason. He gives us the highest-level encouragement possible to use our minds; and not only to use them to think about him…
