Dr. John Lennox (Oxford) Makes His Case For a Personal Creator God
Appling apologetics for the defense of the Hebrew Torah, TANAKH, and Christian New Testament, Dr John Lennox is arguably one of the most popular Christian apologists in the world. He has written many books on apologetics and has Phd's in Philosophy and Mathematics and for years taught at Oxford University. He was referred to repeatedly in the first movie of the God's Not Dead series and has been quoted by both Young Earth and Old Earth Creationists alike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennox
A highly condensed lecture he gives at that university whose 16 minute video is below. It is so packed, the viewer may need to pause or replay the progress bar.
A much more relaxed 1 hr and 38 minute video which is a very civil debate between himself and Atheist Professor Peter Atkins also at Oxford.

Although much of the political material on this site is on the 2020 Election, that is changing slowly For example, click on this link to see why I support Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. (This is a story)
My Quest for More Effective Adoration
A central tenet at the center of evangelical and similar Christian theologies is that each adherent is entitled to and encouraged to have a “personal relationship with God”. Yet many have questions about specifically what that really means in our every-day lives.

Many Christians are dealing with fear regarding the current direction of our country. The following blog is a about a tutoring session I had with both scripture and the Holy Spirit on how to master such fears. This blog is given to prepare anyone for a process of overcoming overpowering fear.
Thou Shall Not Mix Religion and Politics!
The influences that wrongly enforce that unbiblical ethic
by Bill Anderson May 13, 2018
I well remember this supposed truthful expression as a child. Everyone seemed to use it to keep the peace in potentially discordant discussions. But, no, neither Moses or any other biblical character ever uttered this admonition! Politics has also become associated in the eyes of many Christians as if it were a corrupt gangster activity in government.
Why are so many Evangelicals politically conservative? By Bill Anderson

Connecting the dots between The Bible and their unique political preferences
Many people assume this phemenon is just a manifestation of ignorance, when in reality it is connected to underlying precepts or presuppositions within Biblical faith. Click the link above to examine reasons in both Jewish and Christian texts.
Answering Church Objections to Christians Involvement in Politics by Bill Anderson
(In a Nutshell)
In most of my Christian walk, since 1969, whenever the subject of Christians involvement in Politics came up, a unified response has been given to avoid any such discussion. That response is related to our first calling by Christ in "The Great Commission". I have always believed there was a critical flaw in this thinking which I will demonstrate . A very similar response was given by the evangelical church in Nazi Germany. I believe we have repeated that catastrophic mistake and will continue until this precept is re-evaluated, so click on the above link.
Although I have been very interested in the Convention of States proposal,
Project 2025 is just as compelling which has been proposed by the Heritage Foundation in 2023 and in my opinion would complement the C.0.S.
As Our Country Collapses from Within, We Need to be Reminded of The Origins of Our Freedoms
As we stand and watch as our country disintegrates from within, many of us long for the time when we had real freedom of faith, speech, travel, etc. I am speaking here of mostly Jews and Christians, who often call themselves patriots, who know exactly what I am talking about without my having to describe the historical details or the related current events.
Tragically, many of us seem to have forgotten, rejected or never have known the author of those freedoms, namely our God Adonai, Elohim or El Shaddai (among others). Ironically, it was Benjamin Franklin at the original Constitutional Convention that first suggested that all too common human failure in our remembrances. Actually, we have to go back to the origins of the values of our founders of our country for those founding values which is actually a Hebrew Story,
The Elephant in Our Room
What should be obvious at this point is that the government is the elephant in the room of our churches and that we can no longer considerate it alien to our calling because we are forced to deal with it via the authority of government. And that is just regarding the freedom to worship if nothing else. What we are up against is a culture and government immersed in moral relativism. What follows is a combination of blog imbedded with videos on defining and understanding how to deal with moral relativism in government.
Today's Connection of Moral Relativism with Fascism
It is a real irony that our society is seduced with the ethical system of moral relativism. It is a further irony that this has led to are groups like ANTIFA which are supposedly anti-fascist. Yet, there are videos of these and similar interest groups publicly and physically attacking groups of conservative politicians, Christians, libertarians', etc to impose their values on everyone. Then, one realizes that this hypocritical attribute is a uniquely fascist in and of itself! When one then considers how to go about dialoguing with such leaders, this late trend seems to many as irrational as an attempt to dialogue with someone with a severe case of mental retardation!
Fortunately, not everyone in the groups like ANTIFA are so impaired and a dialogue with them is my intention to demonstrate in this blog. Actually, if one is to be truly anti-fascist then one needs at least a brief acquaintance with fascism and since the same groups also embrace moral-relativism (that know what that means), one must start with what politician first championed moral-relativism to argue for fascism. Do you know what political leader that was? Read More
