To purchase the entire Summit Lecture Series, Vol. 1 on DVD, go to: summit.org Christianity is at odds with Post Modernism and Scientific Naturalism, and there are fundamental differences between them. Because, while these other two worldviews don’t agree on a lot, they do agree that there is no such thing as a non-scientific knowledge of reality. Therefore, what they assume is that when you are dealing with science, the concepts of right and wrong become evident. There is no guesswork,... Read more

When I hear the word “sin”, I think of something dark and crusty, like liquid that dried and caked on a beating heart. If we believe that Jesus died for us, then our sins are washed from our hearts. We’re clean. But still, we continue to sin. Those sins are forgiven, but we do still sin. Sometimes I think that I treat sin like an ostrich would. I earnestly plant my head in the sand with the hopes that... Read more

Today I want to talk about politics. It’s an uncomfortable subject for many Christians, which is why so many of us avoid it. Some of us don’t avoid it and tend to over-emphasize it. These are my thoughts on politics, specifically on how we can strike a balance in... Read more

From the UK Daily: What makes extroverts happier? Typically, extroverts have a more effective “desire system” than most introverts, according to researchers. What do they desire? Well, it’s my unscientific opinion that they desire to talk you ear off, compared to an introvert who just wants to be left alone. Combine the two and only one gets their way – no wonder the loudmouths are so dang happy!! Also, extroverts are more likely to spend time involved in rewarding... Read more

As we start reading the Old Testament book of 1 Samuel, we meet Elkanah and his two wives, Hannah and Peninnah. Now, right off the bat, we are hit with the question, “Why did God allow people of Israel who seemed to be righteous have multiple wives?” Well, it wasn’t the way things should have been done, but it is the way things were often done. This also offers us a clue: A man – for the most part – only had multiple... Read more

Jesus told his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” He took Peter, James, and John with him. He plunged into a sinkhole of dreadful agony. He told them, “I feel bad enough right now to die. Stay here and keep vigil with me.” 35-36 Going a little ahead, he fell to the ground and prayed for a way out: “Papa,... Read more

Sometimes things really are as simple as they sound. As you will hear in this PODCAST, this little truism was never more true than it is of Jesus’ words here at the tail end of the Sermon on the Mount. And believe it or not, Jesus swerved right into the middle of what has become a tragic distortion of our beliefs, especially among a younger generation of pastors and the churches that they lead. It’s time for us to recalibrate... Read more

Often you don’t realize you’re in a abusive situation until, your soul is torn, or your outside relationships suffer. My heart in sharing this is to simply shed light on unhealthy, manipulative, controlling practices. Spiritually abusive ministries… Have a distorted view of respect. They forget the simple adage that respect is earned, not granted. Abusive leaders demand respect without having earned it by good, honest living. Remember the pastor who tried to control me by telling me I had... Read more
