For those of you who like to read, here are some of the best books I read in 2012:

All Pro Dad by Mark Merrill
This is a great book for dads and young men.

By This Name by John R. Cross
This book teaches the art of chronological evangelism, beginning with Moses.

The title is obvious, and this book gives a well-rounded overview of prophecy.

Again, an obvious title, but grace is something we all need to keep in our minds.

This book gives good, practical advice to preachers and teachers on how to make the truth of their messages stick.

Evidence for Creation.

Evolution’s Fatal Fruit by Tom DeRosa
This book debunks Darwin at every turn.

Deceived on Purpose by Warren Smith
An insightful look into the scary world of Rick Warren and The Purpose Driven Life.
The Ishbane Conspiracy and Lord Foulgrin’s Letters by Randy Alcorn
Two fiction books that put a 21st Century spin on C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters.

Simply the best book on the topic.

Unplanned by Abby Johnson

The answer to every question you have struggled with.

I think everyone can benefit from reading any of these books. If you are not a reader, why not give one a try? Make a New Year’s resolution to read at least one book in 2013. You just might find out that you like reading more than you thought.

The “Christians Hate Gays” Myth

During these Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) hearings before the Supreme Court I keep hearing how much Christians hate gay people. This was news to me since I am a Christian and I don’t hate gay people. I also go to church with over 1000 other Christians, and if any of them hate gay people, they sure haven’t told me. Before moving to South Carolina I worked at or attended several churches in Texas; prior to that I spent a decade going to church in Florida. Guess what? No one hated gay people. In fact, I don’t know any Christians who hate anybody. The very uniform of a believer is his love, and if a person does not show consistent love, then he is not actually a believer. Are there non-believers who hate gay people and claim to be Christian? Of course. But that doesn’t represent Jesus or His church. Equating  hateful sign-wavers with Christianity is like equating a kindergarten baseball team to the New York Yankees. They may claim to be playing the same

Famous Frauds in Homosexual Science Part 2: Twin Studies

A second piece of shoddy science has been heralded as proving people are born gay. This time, instead of cadavers, living twins were studied. This study compared male identical twins to male fraternal twins; in each set of twins, at least one man was homosexual. 22% of the fraternal twins showed both brothers to be gay, compared to 52% of the identical twins. Since identical twins are closer genetically than fraternal twins, this study claimed that genetics play in to homosexuality, or that people are born gay. But an obvious question that arose from this study is, why did 48% of the identical twins only have one gay brother? If they are so close genetically, then 100% of the identical twins should have two gay brothers. This study does more harm than good to the argument from genetics. There are other factors to be considered. One is that the men doing the study (Richard Pillard and Michael Bailey) could have intentionally picked fraternal twins that the

The Rose of Sharon and Lily of the Valley

If you have spent much time in church you have probably sung some songs with lyrics like these: “He leads me to his banqueting table, his banner over me is love… Jesus is the rock of my salvation, his banner over me is love.” “Sweetest rose of Sharon, come to set us free.” “He’s the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star…” But are those songs biblical? They come out of the writings of the Song of Solomon, but are we to understand those lines as describing Christ? The Song of Solomon is a collection of love poems that were written between two people who were deeply in love and about to be married. While we know that King Solomon is one of the writers, the other’s name has escaped us, and we know her today simply as the Shulamite woman. Some people believe that since this woman is not named then she never existed; some teach that this book is pure allegory, only existing to serve as symbolism. King Solomon, they say, represents
