AFBC Bible Conference 2008: Wednesday Night

Some Conclusions
Epistemology, Part Four: Jason Harris In the last post in this series, I gave three basic propositions. 1) God is always perfectly rational. 2) In God’s image, humans are also rational. 3) Human rationality is limited both inherently and by the effects of the curse.

Three Propositions on Rationality
Epistemology, Part Three: Three Propositions on Rationality Jason Harris It’s been a while since the second post, but the more I’ve considered these things, the more I realise just how basic they are to everything we think and believe. The term for what we’re talking about is epistemology. Epistemology deals with the very nature and [...]
A Look at Presuppositionalism
Epistemology, Part Two: A Look at Presuppositionalism Jason Harris It’s been a while since my last heavy post. This topic has been going through my head a lot over the last several weeks.

An Introduction to Evidentialism

So what can you do to be a blessing to your [...]
The Worst Job in the World, Part Two
By Steven Mock Does your pastor have the worst job in the world? If you don’t love him by valuing his hard work, authority, and service as well as bragging about him then there is a good chance he thinks he does. But what can you do to be a blessing to your pastor and [...]
The Worst Job in the World, Part One
By Steven Mock Do you know what the worst job is in the world? It’s the one where someone works too many hours, gets paid far too little, is grossly underappreciated, is too stressed out, and everyone else thinks this is normal. Who would want a job like this? I’m sad to say that many [...]
