The Nature of God Illustrated

This cartoon explores the ideas different worldviews have of the nature of God. It's intended to be a little bit humorous. I chose to use a lizard because I wanted to use something cute and needed something no one would confuse with an actual representation of God. Click the image on the left to see [...] Read More → No Comments

How Does Changing My Profile Pic Stop Child Abuse?

There's a new meme that's struck Facebook. It goes something like this: I changed my profile pic to a cartoon from my childhood. The goal? To not see a human face on facebook until Monday the 6th of December. Join the fight against child abuse and invite your friends to do the same! So how [...] Read More → Comment (1)

Why Christians Shouldn’t Advocate Same-Sex Marriage

I'm hearing an increasing number of Christians say that they are for the legalization of same-sex marriage, or at the very least they don't have a problem with it (though they view it as sin).  While I have some reservations on how Christians oppose same-sex marriage legislation, I can not wrap my head around the Read More → Comments (11)

Poster Series

I created this series of poster images as a creative exercise.  I wanted to explore the rich imagery found in the story of Jesus that is often neglected.  I also wanted to experiment with a graphic style that I find inspiring but don't get much occasion to utilize ... Read More → No Comments

The Proper Use of Christian Profanity

I like Derek Webb.  He not only understands music and verse he understands his job as a Christian artist.  I'm not at all a musician but I'm inspired as an artist when I listen to his albums. His latest album is surrounded by a bit of controversy.  His record label refused to include one of [...] Read More → Comments (10)

Mr. President, Why Should We Have Fewer Abortions?

I encouraged others to do the same.  Not surprising, I got a lot of affirmative responses.  It didn' Read More → No Comments

Unquestioned Lies

In a recent episode of "This American Life" the theme was "No Map". It featured stories of people encountering difficult situations without any guideposts on how to navigate through them. You can listen to the entire episode here. The final story was about Mike Nyberg, a Mormon that encountered corruption in internatio Read More → Comments (10)

Does God Exist? – The Craig/Hitchens Debate

I had the privilege of attending a debate between William Lane Craig and Christopher Hitchens at Biola University.  I was able to sit in the main auditorium, but just barely.  I was in the very last row at the back of the room.  It was great to experience the vibe in the room and measure [...] Read More → Comment (1)

Blogging: The End of Religion

I’ve recently returned from the God Blog Conference in association with Blog World and the New Media Expo. I recognize this puts me in a new category of blogging geekdom. Not only am I spending hours of my time blogging, I’m now spending money and a weekend away from my family to hear other people [...] Read More → No Comments

Evangelical Gnosticism

I’ve become aware of a deficiency in Evangelical Christianity in the last couple of years. Gnosticism is the belief that the spirit is the only thing that is real or good. The body is disposable and unimportant. In our missionary efforts we are at times evangelically gnostic. We often teach that the MOST important th Read More → Comment (1)
