Christ with Arms Folded
Rembrandt van Rijn, ca. 1661

The Father’s Beloved Son

Yes, His kingdom will prevail.

But it is not through force of might that the world must be won,

But rather through a power more awesome, more sublime—

The power of His unending love.

In the fullness of time, God sent forth His Son,

His beloved Son, from His own bosom.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,

And we beheld His glory,

The glory of the only begotten of the Father,

Full of grace and truth.

Savior

Why do people make choices that destroy themselves and those they love--and keep on making them?


 

FOOL:

Identifying & Overcoming Character Deficiency Syndrome

is a forensic, worldview-conscious study of the fool and folly depicted in the Bible, especially in the book of Proverbs.

“”Outstanding. Learned and psychologically acute. Hit too close to home for comfort.” Dan Peterson

“”An excellent book on practical wisdom which I find myself returning to again and again!” Joseph Kraft

“”One of the best books on Ethics I have read. This book explains why Enron, Worldcom, Adelphia, etc. happened better than any book I have read.” Phil Eubanks

Paul, the Post-Modernists of Athens, and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

The Apostle Paul has received much criticism for the presentation he made to the intellectual elite of Athens (Acts 17:16-31). Was he right or wrong in his approach?

Athens was the original university town. What the apostle Paul found there startlingly resembles the environment that greets university students in the early 21st century.  This environment included:

  1. Pluralism.

  2. Relative Values.

  3. Faddishness.

  4. Skepticism. 

How did Paul speak to that environment, and what can we learn from it?  Read more here.
