Today's category: AmishA Miracle Transformation? ? ? ? ? ? An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. The boy asked his father, "What is this, Father?" The father responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."? ? ? ? ? ? While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed an old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button.

Our apologetics must evolve to engage with the new cultural mood of the next generations.For years now, scholars have announced the death of postmodernism. After decades of dominance as a cultural mood, the famously cynical and relativistic intellectual stance is finally out.

It can manifest in a few tangible ways, including in what I call apocalyptic hope, inverted worldview-building, and highly narrated identities.Apocalyptic hope (or what Vermeulen and Van Den ...Continue reading...
