My passion and purpose as a practicing chiropractic doctor for the past twenty years has always been to share healing art with as many people as I can and as often as I can. This was reinforced a few months ago after I got done speaking at a local church about what I do. I was walking back to my car when God spoke five distinct statements to me. He said, 1) “I will never forsake you.” 2) “I will never harm you.” 3) “I will never injure you.” 4) “I am not done using you.” 5) “There many more […]

How do scientists determine the age of earth and rocks as being “billions” and “millions” of years old? How reliable are their dating methods? The evolutionary age of the earth is about 4.5 billion years. How was that age determined since there is no date stamped of on the rocks regarding its time of origin? According to evolutionary history, the earth was born out of hot molten mass of material that somehow was product of the Big Bang. As the time went on and as things moved away from the center of the cosmic explosion, the earth—including the solar system—began to […]

Why is the Bible so controversial? The History Channel’s recent Bible series has sparked many water cooler and media conversations. One of them has important implications: Were Adam and Eve real people? I am not a scientist, and I do not play one on TV. But I certainly believe that Adam and Eve were real people. Why? Because I believe Jesus was who he said he was: God’s only begotten Son, and clearly he believed they were real. The Apostle Paul said that death came into the world through the first Adam. Jesus was the Second Adam, who came to […]

Last month I listed the enormous scientific problems with evolution as it related to living things. Our conclusion was that biological evolution failed in the area of science. It cannot explain the origins of extreme complexity in living systems nor can it account for DNA, the language of life that contains an overwhelming stabilizing force. This force retains “kind,” the term used in Genesis to describe different groups of closely related organisms such as the dog kind or the cat kind. By not allowing upward and ever more complex changes, these factors completely defy evolution’s ultimate end of “molecules to […]

For the growing number of evangelical Christians who are disillusioned by the culture-war rhetoric of the Christian Right, the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good (NEP) is reframing the evangelical response to social justice issues. A faith-based nonprofit, the NEP serves as a rallying point for what they dub “the New Evangelicals,” Christians who adhere to orthodox theology but identify with a social progressive agenda. The NEP and the Christian Right share the same traditional evangelical beliefs—belief in the authority of scripture as God’s Word, the virgin birth, death and resurrection of Jesus, the call to be born again […]

  You’ll quickly recognize the three words I am referring to in this month’s title when you reflect for a moment on the wilderness experience of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let’s take a look. ‘Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the Devil. After fasting 40 days and 40 nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the […]
