What’s It All About Alfie? Tell Us the Telos
Christian apologists have made a great deal of hay out of the “is to ought” problem the atheist has. Any naturalist view of reality, that suggests that all that exists is matter and energy erases any foundation for ethics. “Ought” … Continue reading
The Philosophy of Philosophy: Love It or Hate It
Teaching philosophy is in my blood. I don’t just know how to do it, but I love doing it. Most of the classes I’ve taught over the years have consisted of people not planning to become professional philosophers. There aren’t … Continue reading
Should marijuana be legal? Are Christians free to use it?
Our immediate impulse to pass a law against that which we oppose suggests we see the state as our god. It alone, we seem to reason, has the power to curb this evil or that. In God’s economy, however, there … Continue reading

The Ground and the Beginning of Our Knowing
Which are two things, not one. The ground of our knowing is a question of ontology, or being. The beginning of our knowing is a question of epistemology, or how we know what we know. To understand the ground of … Continue reading
The Cosmology of Elfland: Rejecting A Clockwork Orange
We are all the children of the Enlightenment. Even if we couldn’t begin to define “Enlightenment,” or if we know what it is and see it as an Endarkenment, we’re still shaped by it. It’s in our blood and sinews, … Continue reading

What is Wisdom? Better Still, Who Is Wisdom?
I’ve written before on the difference between knowledge and wisdom. The two are deeply related, but they are nonetheless distinct. You can have knowledge without wisdom, but not wisdom without knowledge. James tells us “You believe that there is one … Continue reading

Learning from the Master, Not From Our “Masters”
“If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” “If you can read this, thank a teacher.” Such is the wisdom one can expect to find on a car’s bumper. Wisdom, however, is found in God’s Word, which, surprisingly, says not … Continue reading

This week’s Truth You Can Count On Bible Study
“What is truth?” Pilate asked. Too often believers ask the same. In this study we dive into the encounter between Pilate and the Truth, wondering if we would have done any better. Check it out.

Study Tonight, Truth You Can Count On: What Is Truth?
We continue our Truth You Can Count On study. Tonight, 7:00, we confront Pilate’s cynical question- what is truth?. We stream it on Facebook Live (at the account Lisa and I share, RC-Lisa) for those who attend online. You can … Continue reading
What are some key idols in the evangelical church?
What sin did God’s people in the Old Testament most struggle with? You be surprised. We tend to focus on various sins of the flesh in our concerns about ourselves. And to be sure, our fathers in the faith fought … Continue reading
