"If you love someone who is ruining his or her life by faulty thinking and you don't do anything about it because you are afraid of what others might think, it would seem that rather than being loving you are in fact being heartless." - William Wilberforce

    Episode 19 - On In Vitro Fertilization

    In this second episode of the imago dei series, we now begin to explore some of the more particulars of IVF. We do our best to handle this issue with care, yet with candor. This episode is meant to be a general episode that covers the topic succinctly. In future episodes, we do plan on breaking down these issues in a little more detail. There are some links we refer to in this episode. I'll leave them here.

    Episode 18 - On Embryonic Adoption

    Adoption is one of the most beautiful pictures we see in Scripture. It is also a testimony of God's living grace when we see it portrayed on this side of immortality. We have seen this up close again and again. But what exactly is embryonic adoption? It almost seems like a science fiction novel come to life. Yet for Christians who profess belief that life begins at conception, embryos are just human beings at an earlier stage of development. Listen and explore this topic as Dr. Cheng dives into not only his expertise on the issue, but also his heart. Here are some relevant links referred to in this episode.

    Episode 17 - On The Sufficiency and Clarity of Scripture and Historical Theology

    We recently lived through a period where the sufficiency and clarity of Scripture was attacked. Perhaps not doctrinally, but subtly and perniciously. Lived experiences were treated as infallible and Scripture was thrown by the wayside. We were taught to always use Scripture as our guiding light, but the times proved difficult.  I invite you to remember again why these doctrines are crucial. I add historical theology to help remind today's deceptions are just old heresies.

    Episode 16 - On Philosophical Arguments For God

    Recently, Jordan Peterson came out and said something very explosive. He stated in no uncertain terms that the Bible was the precondition for the manifestation for truth and that it was "way more true than just true." What he did not realize is that he paraphrased a position within the apologetics realm called presuppositionalism.  In this episode, we explore various other philosophical arguments for God, but will take more time dissecting this particular position.

    Episode 15 - On The Reliability Of The New Testament Documents

    Are Christians allowed to inquire into the validity of the NT documents or is such inquiry antagonistic to our faith? Does Christianity fall apart when put under the microscope of textual criticism? This episode explores not only the evidence corroborating the NT, but also why our faith is perfectly compatible with such an investigation.

    Episode 14 - On Faith And Reason Coupled With Grace and Logic

    Is there a biblical compatibility between faith and reason? Man, in his quest to free himself from God has in the past employed reason autonomous from God and it has ended in disaster. However, does that mean all Christians should completely abandon this faculty? In this episode, we will explore some case studies in Scripture to show how faith and reason are not only compatible, but they are intertwined and should indeed be used for the glory of God.

    Episode 13 - On The Greater Than Solomon

    Charles Spurgeon once stated: "OUR first thought is that no mere man would have said this concerning himself unless he had been altogether eaten up with vanity; for Solomon was among the Jews the very ideal of greatness and wisdom. It would be an instance of the utmost self-conceit if any mere man were to say of himself— “A greater than Solomon is here.” Any person who was really greater and wiser than Solomon would be the last man to claim such pre-eminence. A wise man would never think it; a prudent man would never say it. The Lord Jesus Christ, if we regard him as a mere man, would never have uttered such an expression, for a more modest, self-forgetting man was never found in all our race. View it on the supposition that the Christ of Nazareth was a mere man, and I say that his whole conduct was totally different from the spirit which would have suggested an utterance like this — “A greater than Solomon is here.” For men to compare themselves with one another is not wise, and Christ was wise; it is not humble, and Christ was humble. He would not have thus spoken if there had not been cause and reason in his infinitely glorious nature. It was because the divinity within him must speak out." I have always been fascinated with this passage and it is for these reasons, I had to podcast about this passage.
