Scott Adams and Death Bed Conversions

Apologetics, Christianity, Deathbed Conversions, Dilbert, eternity, Gospel, salvation, Scott Adams, Theological Apologetics, Theology and Christian Apologetics
Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip died recently, and reports are saying that he had a death bed conversion. Lord willing, he meant it. I enjoyed his cartoons. He had some clever commentary. But of course, no amount of good works, humor, or wit can get anyone to heaven. I hope for his sake that his last rites were sincere, and that I’ll be able to meet him in heaven one day. Death bed conversions however pose a real problem. The problem isn’t about the fact that they happen. That’s not a problem for Christian theology. We teach that salvation isn’t earned as a reward, it’s a received gift. So, death-bed conversions are possible even for people who’ve lived a long and rebellious life. Just ask the…

The ‘Impossible Conversation’ No One Saw Coming with Dr. Peter Boghossian

A Manual for Creating Atheists, atheists, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Dr. Peter Boghossian, modern left, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology, Western Civilization
How in the world could a Christian and an atheist have a civil conversation about the current political climate in the West? It’s easier than you think! As free speech collapses across Europe and ideological enforcement tightens its grip on the U.S., many are asking, are we truly “free” anymore? This week, Frank is joined by philosopher Dr. Peter Boghossian, author of ‘A Manual for Creating Atheists‘, fresh off their surprise appearance together at the chaotic TPUSA event at UC Berkeley. Together, they examine why civil dialogue is breaking down, why Islam presents a unique challenge to Western civilization, and why the modern left seems incapable of self-correction. In this episode, Frank and Peter tackle questions like: Why did Peter leave his position at Portland State University? Why was Peter…

In December 2025, Molecular Systems Biology marked its 20th anniversary with a special editorial that reflects on the field’s development since 2005 (Bheda et al. 2025). Systems biology is an approach to studying living systems that assumes hierarchical, top-down design. The piece, authored by the journal’s editors and several contributors, shares personal perspectives on where the field stands today — and where it is headed. Ruedi Aebersold, the first contributor, states, “the first 20 years of MSB were grand; the next 20 years will be grander.”  I too am optimistic about the field’s future. My optimism comes specifically from how powerfully top-down design has succeeded in giving us the complex systems of the modern world. Top-down design prunes the vast search space of possibilities through an Read More › Source

Should I Read the Bible? What Christians Should Know

4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, Bible study, Christianity, Devotional, discipleship, Gospel, Heaven Not Harvard, Jennifer Defrates, Quiet Time, Spiritual Disciplines
Wondering Should I read the Bible? Maybe you’ve never picked one up. Maybe you’ve only skimmed it and never really read it with purpose. Either way, the answer is yes. If you’re a Christian or wondering about Christianity, nothing will change your faith and life more than reading the Bible. Reading the Bible daily is the most important habit any believer can have. It’s so important to read God’s word, deeply and thoroughly, that I say all Christians should be saturated in the Bible. Becoming deeply saturated in the word changed my relationship with God forever. I spent too many years full of misunderstanding and carrying legalistic burdens because I didn’t have an accurate understanding of the Bible and didn’t really know God for myself. My superficial relationship with His word had stunted my…

Should Christians “Agree to Disagree” About Homosexuality? with Dr. Robert Gagnon

Bible, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Dr. Robert Gagnon, Homosexuality, marriage, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, sexuality, theology
Are Christian views on marriage and sexuality really “outdated,” or has culture slowly talked us into treating clear biblical teaching as a harmless disagreement? In this midweek podcast episode, Frank and Dr. Robert Gagnon continue their discussion by examining what the Bible actually teaches about homosexuality and why sexual ethics sit at the core of Christian morality. Tune in as they answer questions like: When Jesus showed compassion to tax collectors and sexual sinners was he affirming their sins? What was God’s primary purpose for food laws in the Old Testament? Was homosexuality ever an “agree to disagree” issue for Jesus or the Apostle Paul? Why does Paul specifically single out homosexuality instead of other sexual sins in Romans 1? What are the three “new knowledge” questions? What’s the underlying…
