When it came to Medina, Muhammad expelled one tribe of Jews. The second he took their stuff. A third tribe of Jews he single-handedly beheaded all the men and any boy who had reached puberty, then he took the women and children and sold them into slavery. Then there is plain ugly stuff, Muhammad was 49-years-old when he married Aisha who was just 6-years-old. He had to convince the girl’s father to let him marry her because Muhammad claimed this was something God wanted... Read more

I’ve been doing a lot of driving lately, if you’re a hate monger you can still get a license in this country. There are people who drive trucks to haul stuff and then there are people who drive trucks because by law they’re not allowed to bully kids in the playground any more. In America you’re supposed to pass cars on the left, we are not a British colony. What is the hurry for those who pass on right? Do... Read more

As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, there is IMHO a no more beautiful blessing in all of the Bible than the one we are going to discuss here. I honestly cannot put into words how excited I am for you to listen in. As you are about to hear, Jesus perfectly defined the Gold Standard for dynamic Christian living.

As we examine how true Islam is and the accuracy of its claims, we need to look at the “Historical Muhammad”. The earliest biography we have on Muhammad’s life is Sirat Rasul-Allah, by Ibn Ishaq, written in 770 AD. Now, compare this date with the earliest historical writings we have about Jesus Christ. The earliest canonized Gospel account we have about Christ was written at about 70 AD. However, Paul writes about Jesus’ life in his epistles as early as... Read more
Today we’re talking to Nathan Cochran from Mercy Me! We kick off our interview with talking about social media and what Nathan has to do to avoid the trolls of the internet. He shares how the band as a whole has to be careful about what they post online because they all represent each other and the wrong tweet or post could open the floodgates to critics. I shared some advice a friend gave me years ago, “Don’t preach and... Read more
