The first step to being able to improve any relationship is understanding the difference between Stimulus and Response. Do we have the ability to choose better ways of doing relationships ? Are we merely animals that respond to stimulus ? It turns out tha

Psalm 90 is the first of our "Living in the 90's" summer podcasts. Here is an intimate prayer whose gaze spans from the eternal glory of God to the fleeting frailty of a human life. Psalm 90 does a great job of re-booting our priorities and calling us to

Ever had a neighbor that drove you absolutely nuts ? It is said that there are two kinds of people in the world - our friends and our teachers. Believe it or not, that crazy neighbor can help teach you an important lesson about the book of Galatians! In G

A black hole looks so much like nothing - it is so dense that even light can't escape its gravity - so when you look at it you see... nothing. Sin is a lot like a black hole - it doesn't look like much, but the further you go in, the harder it is to get o

Many of us grew up thinking that a big part of being a Christian was being moral - obeying God's laws and trying to live a good, godly life. Then how can Paul say that living under the law actually leads to bondage and being cut off from God ? ! People ha

This podcast gives us both a technical biblical study and an experience of resting in God's presence for our own lives today. Many people struggle with this strange section of Galatians where Paul quotes a section of Genesis that ends with "Get rid of the

If someone could you tell you a truth that was hard to hear, but it would help you grow into the person you are called to be - would you want to hear it ? We all have blind spots - character faults and lousy personality traits that stunt us and cripple us

Today we look at a very famous scripture where Paul says “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” What does that really mean ? Is it a political state

Where is the good life found? For some people it is in being able to say "I lived by my principles, my code of ethics." For others it is in being able to say "I grabbed as much as I could and experienced most of what this life offers." In Galatians, Paul

In Galatians 3:1-14, Paul uses a lot of very complicated arguements quoting from a wide range of Old Testament scriptures. What does it all mean ? He talks about faith, but what does it mean to have faith ? What does it mean to believe ? How would you kno

What do you think of the "COEXIST" bumper sticker seen in the image for this podcast ? There is one way to see it that is exactly what we need in this cultural moment, and there is another way to see it that is exactly the problem of this cultural moment.

As we prepare to jump into a verse by verse study of the book of Galatians, we pause to ask a fundamental question - How do we know there really was a Paul or that he actually wrote this letter ? Even if he did, what we have today is a copy of a copy of a

Some parts of the bible make sex sound amazing and joyful, other parts give warnings and set boundaries. Why? What's wrong with a little lust - what's wrong with looking as long as you don't touch ? Isn't sex the spice of life ? Aren't Christians overly u

Is it wrong to want more money? How much food is too much ? Can you be skinny and eat tiny healthy meals and still be a glutton ? Can a child playing with dolls be more greedy than a Wall Street fat cat ? What are gluttony and greed and where do they come

What do I do with this Anger? Many folks struggle with anger, and many Christians don't know what to do about it. Is it OK to be angry? If so, when? When does Anger turn evil? How can I handle it ? We look at Jesus and the wisdom of scripture and discover

Do you have people in your life that no matter the topic of conversation, they are always able to turn it around to themselves, making themselves the center of attention ? Vainglory is an old fashioned word - but it means empty glory - the desperate seeki

If you want to make sure you have a miserable life, pursue one or more of the Seven deadly sins. Each promises us happiness as it drives us further and further away from real happiness. The first of these deadly habits of thought is ENVY. Have you ever lo

How should I live my life in this New Year ? Can I actually make a difference in this world ? What should I do when I am feeling tired and beaten down - and my perfect plans don't look so perfect any more ? The biblical books of Ecclesiastes and Colossian

In the past month there have been political decisions made about abortion, health care, and gay marriage. Meanwhile a white man just murdered nine black brothers and sisters in their church, raising again the issues of racism and gun rights. What stance s

Do you worship the God who brings wine to the party ? What are we to make of this miracle of the wedding at Cana ? What can it tell us about the nature of God ? Plenty !

"Stairway to Heaven." Some of us recognize that as a song title, but it turns out that our wild scripture for today describes Jesus as the true Stairway to Heaven! It also calls us to "Come and see..." what he is all about. In the calling of the first dis
