We must be constantly exposed because we want to follow Jesus, because we realize that who we were intended to be is to be found only through Him.  And Jesus requires all who follow Him to submit to His scrutiny regularly.

Did Jesus really refuse to heal a woman's son until she confessed that she was a dog eating crumbs from the children's table? Yes He did, and it is essential that we remember why.

Our behavior is always first a question of how the world should see Jesus and God.  This is in many ways the heart of Christian ethics.

Not only is Jesus the new Moses, and the new Joshua, but Jesus is the Great I AM, and If Jesus is I AM, then Jesus is the God of all creation in the flesh.  To hear Jesus is to hear God; to encounter Jesus is to encounter God; to put our faith in Jesus is to put our faith in God; to discount Jesus is to discount God; to reject Jesus is to reject God.

In this episode, J. Thomas discusses how anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and ethics might be influenced by the Christian story of creation.

Not only is Jesus the new Moses, but He is also the new Joshua.

In this first part, J. Thomas discusses Jesus as the new Moses.

If we are to follow Jesus, we must learn to live our lives with open hands...we must release our trust to the Apostles' testimony; we must release our direction to Jesus, His example and His teachings; we must release our desire for safety and security to the mission of the kingdom; and we must release our business and productivity for the rest required for our mission.

How do we evaluate Jesus?  If not by his social status, pedigree, educational background, or peculiar history, then how?

In this episode, J. Thomas reviews inerrancy of intent, investigates the creation accounts in Genesis 1 & 2, and presents the dominant 'theories' of creation in contemporary conversation.
