Applying the knowledge and implications of Ground and Sky to the way we should be living our lives if they are true. This section will address matters of ethics, education, and biblical application.
Deconstruction is all the rage. If you’re not familiar with that term, “deconstruction” is the process of disassembling your faith bit-by-bit. The most serious cases result in the deconstructors rejecting their faith altogether. Famous (former) Christians are all over the news because they have made their deconstruction stories public. In fact, if you want to …
When it comes to matters of faith, morality, and values, the culture is a dangerous place for our kids. We have a duty to protect them. But too many Christian parents interpret that duty as a mandate to isolate them and shield them from the world. That isn’t biblical and it doesn’t work. Statistics prove it. …
Anybody can become an expert at anything. There is no secret path to expertise. It doesn’t come by chance. The path to becoming an expert is a path of unrelenting dedication and sacrifice. That is why experts are rare. Very few of us are willing to do what it takes to become one. Spirituality is …
Jesus is the Logos. The Logos is a combination of truth, goodness, and beauty. Truth, goodness, and beauty are the references that give us a grounded Christian spirituality.

Here’s a question I got recently: “It has always bothered me that I am a sinful human. None of my good efforts, leading a good life can deter sin. I was born with sin and I have to be forgiven? I don’t get that. Why am I a ‘sinner’ and why do I need to …
Greg Koukl is famous for comparing a worldview to a giant jigsaw puzzle. The top of the box is our picture of reality. The puzzle only makes sense if all its pieces are in the right place. Some people are trying to fit pieces in places where they don’t belong. Some people have the wrong …
Our youngest son, Jon, starts college today. His brothers will say he has gotten away with gross transgressions of The Rules they all had to follow. Sorry guys, but it just ain’t true. Actually, he has probably been more scrutinized — and many times, rightfully so — because he has been tail-end Charlie, the unfortunate …
I really don’t mean to be a killjoy. I love the fact that millions of people are engaging in the latest “Ice Bucket Challenge” to elicit donations for finding a cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS – Lou Gehrig’s Disease).
