The True State of Things

Episode 124 features a discussion of discerning and remembering the true state of things concerning a believer’s life in Christ. It is good for us to believe the things which the Bible says about God. It is also good for us to remember the things which the Bible says about us.

A Very Memorable Reading of Scripture

Episode 122 is a post concerning what may be the largest public reading of Scripture ever held. This is a brief retrospective on the special Christmas Eve broadcast held by the astronauts of the crew of Apollo 8, humanity’s first voyagers to the Moon.

What Do We Do With God’s Unshared Attributes?

This episode centers on a discussion which my wife Julie and I had about a question from one of her Bible Study women. They read Jen Wilkin’s book “None Like Him” about God’s attributes He does not share with us (Omni-present, omniscient, etc). Julie got a question from someone in her study asking, in essence: “Now that I know about these, what do I do with them?”

Reflections on the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds

Two specific applications look at the question: “Why doesn’t God remove evil from the world?” as well asking us to expand our focus beyond the evils of our world.
