    I certainly have those friends I love to have theological conversations with. If you’d like to guest-star on the show, click the button below.

  • Understanding the Providence of God in Our Lives: Psalm 119

    Understanding the Providence of God in Our Lives: Psalm 119

    How many of us have planned out our lives according to our desires? In Psalm 119, the psalmist has been talking about how his plans and ways did not really work out for his own happiness or the good of others. God’s ways are better. He consistently asks God to teach him the divine way…

  • Seek Understanding

    Seek Understanding

    I love to cook. Sunday for Koinonia (a Greek word meaning fellowship) at TCATS, I made some jalapeño poppers! What I like about jalapeño poppers is that the peppers are a canvas on which I get to craft a (hopefully wonderful) combination of flavors. To do so, I have to understand the way that flavors…

  • What is the Christian Faith? Part 3

    What is the Christian Faith? Part 3

    Today I want to do some trivia. Below you will find a statement that is sometimes taught as coming from Scripture and we are going to find out whether or not the statement actually represents Scripture well. __________________ __________________ “God helps those who help themselves.” This is actually from Aesop’s Fable, “Hercules and the Waggoner.”…

    An old man poked his head up over the fence on a Saturday morning to observe his neighbor’s yard. “What kind of man,” he thought to himself, “lets his yard get so filthy?” He observed toy trucks and baseball gloves and the grass was taller than it should have been; it would come up to…

  • Am I Qualified for Ministry?

                No matter who we are or where we are serving, it seems that any good minister under Jesus Christ asks this question. There are those who expect too much of a minister or someone who has taken a leadership role in the church, and there are those who expect too less. I want to…

  • Do you ever have trouble figuring out what God wants from you?

                This question is one that seems to haunt everyone I know who has a relationship with Christ. Of course, following Christ means that we do what He leads us to do. Sometimes, though, it is difficult to know exactly what God wants in any given situation or even concerning…

  • On Insulting the Intelligence of Man…

    From the roaring comments of those like Richard Dawkins and the Neo Atheists[1] to the great dissatisfaction we find in our pulpits, it seems as though in today’s society, the intellectual elite constantly insults the intelligence of his fellow man. While those like Dawkins find it necessary to attack maliciously the well thought out beliefs…

  • It Seems To Me

    It seems to me that secular society has no reason to deny God as it does. After all, a tradition given to us by the philosophers of old, namely David Hume, suggests that things are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. We judge the world today according to laws and phenomena that have always been,…
