Surrounded by incredible geology, Palisade Falls drops roughly one hundred feet. Many millions of years ago, volcanic activity in the west formed what is now Hyalite Canyon, just outside of modern-day Bozeman, Montana. Or was it millions of years? Was it, perhaps, only thousands? How can we know for sure? The debate over origins and ages has not diminished over the years, sadly. But one thing we can all know and agree on: we all have access to the same rocks. And the funny th

It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since John MacArthur went to be with the Lord. But yesterday marked that occasion. In light of that reminder, I think it's most fitting to share this video from Grace To You. I hope you'll watch it and remember his ministry, but even more, remember God's grace poured out on us.

I was sad to hear yesterday that the actor Sam Neill had passed away at the age of 78. In all honesty, I wasn't familiar with most of his filmography, nor with much of his personal life. I knew he had battled cancer recently, but aside from that and a handful of movies, I didn't know much about the man. But I do know that he starred in one of my all-time favorite movies: Jurassic Park. Now, I know as a Christian, much of what's told us in the film regarding dinosaurs is untru

As we wrap up this week's content shares, we look back a week to the 4th of July. Many of us celebrated to one degree or another, being thankful for the great nation in which we live. But given the unfortunate state of our nation, can we really be patriotic, especially in a post-Christian America? How should we even view our nation anymore? Well, I hope this article from Answers in Genesis will help flesh that idea out a little, as we continue to live as Christians in this fa

I love when a short, something not even 30 seconds long, packs a powerful punch. That's what we have here in today's content share. If you follow Keith Foskey at all on YouTube, you know he is largely known for being more on the comedic side. But when you hear his preaching, you see that he takes the word of God very seriously. In this short, he briefly addresses the place of works in our salvation. Short answer? They have none. But Christ's work is everything. I hope you fin

Happy 250th birthday to the United States. It's amazing to think that, on one hand, this nation has survived for so long, yet in the grand scheme of things, it is still so young.

This short from Keith Foskey on YouTube poses an interesting question, and one that should help in our gospel conversations. I believe I have heard this before, but being reminded is definitely helpful. Not much else to say about it, just go ahead and click the link and watch it!

In the passage surrounding the raising of Lazarus, we can learn a lot of different things. But undergirding it all is the fact that Jesus is the Messiah, that He is God, and this story proves it. John sought to prove that Jesus was who He said He was by writing this gospel. Throughout this book, he shows much evidence that proves Jesus is the God-Man. As we wrap up this series on Lazarus, I want to hone in on the central element to this story: Jesus as Messiah, and briefly wh

Image Credit: Unsplash The current state of this world can cause us a bit of distress, to be sure. But it struck me today upon hearing yet another piece of distasteful news that that feeling that we have deep down when we see something unjust done to another person, is a normal response to wickedness. Now, what we do with that response of course is another matter, and both sides of this must be guarded and guided by Scripture. But we all long for a day when justice will reign

I really like this idea that Todd Friel had for this video. So often we don't think to encourage and honor those in our lives who have impacted us in certain ways. In this, he mentions how Ray Comfort has been a major influence in his life as well as ministry partner; he shares many great stories and speaks to Mr. Comfort's character. I hope you'll enjoy this video . I know it's a bit longer, but I trust you'll find it encouraging and a blessing! I know Ray Comfort has hugely

I recently shared my top three photographic influences. And so, today, I'd like to share my top theological influences. It can be especially dangerous nowadays with the technological advances we've made, to fall into bad teaching. There's a LOT of bad theology out there, and a lot of things that aren't all that helpful. That said, there's also a wealth of good, quality, sound doctrinal teaching as well. Couple caveats: first of all, we must always be careful to not elevate me

I have few words to say, as while I know today is normally a day I write a blog, I came across an article that I felt is more important to share. Though somewhat familiar with the story, I did not realize that today was the anniversary of the death of missionary Jim Elliot. While I could try to write something useful in relation, instead I'm going to share this article from The Gospel Coalition. He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to that which he cannot lose - Jim E

I've been blessed greatly to be able to teach and help out with youth ministries over the years, it's something I really enjoy. These young people, especially nowadays, go through so much and are confronted by so much opposition to the Bible and the true gospel. These are reasons that Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen A, especially, are suffering with such amounts of depression and anxiety. The world will always bring us down, and if we aren't founding our lives on the true gospel,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I just watched this compelling video from Fortis Institute where Todd Friel answers a variety of questions from students at OSU. The first question definitely hits hard and is one that is important to be able to answer and discuss from a Biblical framework, but all of the questions and answers I found helpful and worth sharing with you all. I hope you'll find it as interesting and helpful.

A number of years ago a friend of mine sent me this clip from Wretched Radio (now part of Fortis Institute). I was familiar with the style of gospel presentation itself from Ray Comfort, but I thought this was a great use of it. You can really tell both Todd's concern for the truth, as well as his genuine care for these two young men and their salvation. It's one of my favorite clips from Wretched, and I hope you'll enjoy it as well!

For today's post share, I'm sharing this article from Dr. Jason Lisle on the human eye. It's really an amazing part of God's creation. As a photographer I see just how crazy good cameras have gotten; between megapixel count, the speed they can take images, A.I., etc. Yet despite that, the human eye still remains infinitely more advanced than any camera. Evolution can't explain it, though they say they can. But Dr. Lisle will explain it much better than I can. I hope you'll e

From the very beginning, from the time that sin entered the world, creation has groaned, awaiting the restoration of all things. There's a sense of desperation that permeates Scripture. Doubtless did Adam and Eve think upon the birth of their first born that he would be the promised seed, one who would crush the serpents head. Instead he continued the same pattern as his parents and fell headlong into sin. Generations came and went until Noah. Would he perhaps be the savior?

A friend of mine shared this clip from Wretched/Fortis about nose rings and tattoos. If you're reading this, I take it you have an opinion on the issue one way or the other. I for myself know I certainly do. But regardless of those views, I think this is a helpful look at not just those issues but a deeper issue of Christian love and consideration. Do I fully agree with every single thing Mr. Friel shares in this video? Well, this post isn't the time or place that I desire t

As we celebrate this Thanksgiving Day, amidst the feasting and the family, the football and fellowship, whatever it is you find on this day, may we remember Paul's words to the Corinthian church: "Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!" - 2 Corinthians 9:15 We have so many things to be thankful for but the greatest is the fact that God has and will continue to save sinners; and that if we are in Christ, it is by His grace, so let us be thankful for that. Because of Chri

While being thankful for good things, for people, and for many other things is of utmost importance, one of the primary objects (if that's even the proper word) we are to be thankful for is God Himself. "Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, for His lovingkindness is everlasting" - Psalm 107:1 I'm sure you've heard of different acronyms to assist in prayer, but if you haven't, one example is the acronym A.C.T.S., meaning: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplicati
