I’ve decided to be more organized about how I spend my ministry time. A lengthy essay on why I feel I need to do this located here. In summary, it will help me move this ministry forward, and help me spend better quality time with my wife.

I will make the details of my schedule available to interested parties here. This will give you a rough idea of when I may be on message boards if you want to catch me in person.

This week will be extremely light on blogging and message boards, because I’m going to be devoting most of my time to writing a response to Rook Hawkins’s Problems with the Resurrection essay that he posted on his blog in January. I figured that it would be the perfect addition to my website for Easter.

After that, I will begin work on some atheist topics. Morality in the absence of God and Pascal’s wager will be early topics, and then I hope to try to write something on how to argue with an atheist, as that is something that I have noticed that almost no theist has managed to do effectively. The problem lies in worldviews, and the theist’s fear of studying his opposition’s worldview. That is a fear that the theist who wishes to convert atheists must get over, for they all know our worldview inside and out, as most of them were once Christians. Studying their worldview will at least put us on common ground. And, one thing I’ve noticed since posting on the Rational Response Squad boards: atheists are insanely intelligent. This makes them difficult and dangerous opponents in a debate.

Oh, and one more thing: if you debate an atheist and lose, get back on the horse and try again! Making a website like this is not the way to go. It just makes Christians look like we’re scared of them. Christians: love your neighbor and pray for those who persecute you. That type of a website is not being salt and light to the world, it is caving to the world’s values. The maker of that website, when giving a defense to the Lord’s truth, apparently forgot to give it with gentleness and reverence. Sad.

I’m no fan of Brian Sapient or the RRS. But I condemn websites like that. That is not what Christianity is about, and it only gives them more bullets to try to shoot Christianity down.
