How about those giants…no, not the New York Giants
Halloween is coming up...perfect time to talk about scary stuff like giants. Seemingly out of nowhere, the expression “giants on the earth” crops up in Genesis 6:4. Who were these giants? Where did they come from? Interpreters have debated their identity for nearly two thousand years. For more, read this from Answers in Genesis.
A pastor’s call and Ezekiel’s warning
As many readers might know, I've been studying to become a pastor for the past year and a half. The idea of becoming a pastor is a big responsibility, one in which, to borrow a phrase from Paul the Apostle (used in a different context), I do with great fear and trembling. The responsibility placed …
Remnants of Genesis: Day 6
Here is the final piece of our walk through the days of creation. Day 6: The day in which God creates man and animals. Here is another place where Christians can infer the evolutionary process into the creation account: “And God said, ‘Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds’” (1:24). But the …

Day 5: God decides to begin His population of the earth with fish and birds. Again, this is not very mythic.

Remnants of Genesis: Part 3
We have been spending the past few weeks taking a closer look at the days of creation. Last week was the creation of light. This week: the firmament. Day 2: The firmament. The word, firmament, comes “from a Hebrew word that literally means something firm, a dome that produces an air bubble with water above …
Remnants of Genesis: Part 2
Today, we start digging into a series that talks about the days of creation. Day 1: God created light. Notice the oddity of the creation of light while the sun and stars are created on a different day. How can this be? In regards to the claim that creation is a myth, this is something …
Remnants of Genesis: Part 1
One hundred and fifty years ago, Charles Darwin published “The Origin of the Species.” It was this book that introduced to the world the Theory of Evolution, and is now accepted as fact in almost all scientific circles. But in more recent decades, whether evolutionists like to admit it or not, “science has undergone what …
