Veritas Forum: Summary and Reflections To begin with, I am not very knowledgeable about apologetics or philosophy. I also do not feel qualified to easily address the big questions like "Why does human suffering exist if there is God who cares for us?" or, "What role does morality play in religion?" I can only speak for what I have understood and interpreted from the talk, with a limited perspective I have as a young, imperfect Christ.. 더보기

2014.04.29 1.1. O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.2. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.3.

You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. 6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for m.. 더보기

Bill Johnson - Renewed Mind 2/1/14(http://youtu.be/gyDsAfrM6P8) It's either we have renewed mind or are on a war against God. (No neutral ground)The transformed mind looks like Jesus on the mountain transfiguration (conjunction with heaven's reality so that it can manifest on earth)Demons inspire evil mind, and vice versa. (they feed on evil things from our minds)Thought patterns develop in a way that God is replaced with .. 더보기
The Christian Glutton I wonder if Jesus would count calories.They say the Messiah of the world understands all our human sins. God became man, subjected himself to every fleshly temptation, felt the darkness that tugs in our moments of shame, knew what it meant to be born into waywardness. But he alone fought sin and won. He was perfect. He was holy. He was God in human form, divine mystery as that is, and He never s.. 더보기
Why We Need Fasting and Feasting What is it that makes food, or the lack of food, so powerful? Why do we become so worn out, cranky, and exhausted when we need food, and then feel so uplifted and restored when we eat a great meal? Certainly we are designed to crave food for the sake of mere survival, but as humans we crave more than this.

1/23/14 - 1/29/14 When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they received their reward in full.But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.. 더보기
