  • Max Lucado Daily Devotional - God’s Power in Us

    Listen to Today's Devotion

    We look at other believers and ask, “Why is her life so fruitful and mine so barren? Why is his life so powerful and mine so weak? Aren’t we saved by the same Christ?”

    The answer may be found in the first chapter of the book of Acts where Jesus told Peter and the other followers, “Wait here to receive the promise from the Father. John baptized people with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit” (Acts 1:4-5 NCV).

    During Jesus’ earthly ministry Jesus lived near the disciples. The Holy Spirit, however, would live in the disciples. Jesus taught; the Spirit teaches through us. Jesus comforted; the Spirit comforts through us. The Holy Spirit is a year-round resident in the hearts of God’s children. As God’s story becomes our story, his power becomes our power.

  • Take 2 Theology - I Think, Therefore I Am | Part 3

    Episode 2.74


    Can Descartes Escape Solipsism?


    In this episode, Michael and Zach tackle one of the most common—and serious—objections to Descartes’ project: the Thomist charge that radical doubt collapses into solipsism. If all that survives the doubt is “I am a thinking thing,” how do we ever get back to the real world, other minds, or trustworthy knowledge?


    Rather than stopping at the cogito, this conversation traces Descartes’ actual escape strategy, step by step. From the certainty of the thinking self, to contingency, to the necessity of a self-existent God, the discussion focuses on the critical move: God’s moral perfection as the foundation for epistemic trust. Without a non-deceptive God, solipsism wins. With one, Descartes claims a narrow—but real—bridge back to reality.


    Along the way, the episode weighs:

    -Why Thomists argue Descartes starts in the wrong place

    -Whether the “Cartesian Circle” is fatal or misunderstood

    -If moral perfection can legitimately follow from necessity

    -Why radical doubt is a method, not a lifestyle

    -Where the real fault line lies between Thomist and Cartesian epistemology


    The conclusion is deliberately careful: Cartesian doubt does not entail solipsism—but it risks it unless its theistic rescue succeeds. The road out is narrow, but it is not imaginary.

  • Daily Radio Program with Charles Stanley - In Touc... - The God of All Comfort - Part 1

    God is called by many names in the Bible, but one of the most comprehensive is the name "I Am." God has many titles that remind us of His attributes and can encourage us when we face difficult circumstances. Dr. Stanley uses the life of Paul to illustrate that God truly is the God of all comfort.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - January 15th - Mark 2:17
    Mark 2:17
    [Jesus] told them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor – sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
    Jesus’ way of life was a shock to the respectable religious leaders of his day. So far as they were concerned, the priority was to ensure they were ritually pure so they could participate in the temple worship. Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan powerfully describes the situation. The first two people who walked past the wounded man were a priest and a Levite. Jesus wasn’t suggesting that they didn’t care – their priority was to remain ritually clean so they could perform their duties.
    Jesus, on the other hand, didn’t seem to be bothered about staying ritually clean according to the Jewish law. He gladly associated with dodgy people, even though he must have known that this would offend the religious leaders. Here, Jesus explained the reason why he did this: he had come for the sake of people who knew that they were sick, and not for people who were spiritually perfect. Of course, Jesus knew that everyone needed forgiveness, but he also knew he couldn’t help people who thought they were perfect.
    One of the persistent problems doctors face is that people often don’t take action when they have a medical need. A lump grows or another bodily change takes place and they shrug it off, assuming it will resolve itself. Until a person takes action and visits the doctor, there is not a thing that the doctor can do. It is very much the same with God. He would love to forgive us, but first we must recognise that we have a problem.
    Question
    How would you describe your own spiritual health?
    Prayer
    Lord God, forgive me for trying to pretend that I was spiritually fit when I needed to come and seek your healing. Amen

  • Thru the Bible on Oneplace.com - Revelation 2:8-12
    As the Bible Bus arrives in Revelation 2, we’ll hear about the suffering the people in the church in Smyrna experienced. Likely you’ve seen your share of suffering, too. While we hate pain and try to avoid it, God’s Word teaches us God uses it for our good. Our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, addresses the important question, “Why do God’s children suffer?” and one of his answers may surprise you.

  • The Holy Post - 703: Hobbes vs Locke & Faith vs Politics with Senator Raphael Warnock

    Tensions have flared around the country after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, and the Department of Homeland Security has rolled out a new slogan as it defends the lethal action: "One of Ours, All of Yours." Is the Trump administration declaring civil war on Americans? Then, two seventeenth-century philosophers, Hobbes and Locke, help us understand the divide in our politics today, but Kaitlyn explains why Christians should be hesitant to embrace either. Skye talks with Senator Raphael Warnock (D-Georgia) about his dual roles as both a senator and a pastor, and why he calls the country's economic problems a "spiritual crisis." Also this week—the Bears shred the Packers.
