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.

Epistemology and Other Irrelevant Stuff
By Jason Harris
We’re tempted at times to think the size of a word is directly proportionate to its real-life irrelevance. The longer the word—we think—the less relevant to my life. And I guess at times that’s true. But there are some words that are extremely relevant. For instance, Orthomyxoviridae doesn’t seem [...]

The Worst Job in the World, Part Three

By Steven Mock
Are you concerned that your pastor might have the worst job in the world? Probably not if you expect him to work an unreasonable number of hours throughout the week and if you never express heart-felt, specific appreciation for your pastor.

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 [...]
