A Sound Heart

This episode of A Sound Heart will explore the sobering reality that judgement will began at the house of God.  We commonly look for God's judgement upon the world, and never seem to consider that it will start at the church.  God has no prejudice for sin.  He is absolutely objective with sinful behavior.  One may assume that believing ones know this to be true, but alas that is not true.  There s...

This episode of A Sound Heart examines the persecution of the Faith once for all given to the saints.  Persecution is not new for the Church.  Even Jesus said that we would be in tight places for our Faith because of Him.  Please remember that the resurrection of Jesus broke the power of the kingdom of darkness, and the saints are the targets of the Satan who was cast out of the abode of God. The...

The Adam was fashioned out of the adamah (land) and he therefore has an innate kinship with the biosphere.  The Adam or man is vitally connected with the earth, and the earth is not a thing for endless manipulation and corrupt self-interest.  When we walk with God as we should we are blessed and so is the land, but when we not do walk with God in an appropriate manner we suffer, and so does the ea...

This episode of A Sound Heart will explore the importance of tossing out the psychologized view of man, and its repudiation of divine viewpoint which recognizes the real condition of man.  God is completely real with humanity, but humans always deal from a manipulated perspective.  For instance, most people in the west believe that sin is a mere religious idea that is outdated and irrelevent.  Hub...

This episode of A Sound Heart explores the necessity of an appropriate understanding of hamartiology if one is to be fully aware of the human condition.  Denial of or arguments against the reality of sin means a holding to a prejudiced view of human nature.  One may postulate a positive view of the human condition but such a position is untenable.  A careful reading of history will show the shallo...

The old world was undone by substantive moral disingenuousness.  The people of the old world sold themselves into dark sexual perversity.  They stepped out beyond the sexual addiction myth, and gained carnal knowledge of a forbidded nature.  They were subsequently washed away due to their extremely polluted nature.  Their catastrophic fate became an enduring motif of what happens to those who shun...

This episode of A Sound Heart will explore the termination of the pre-flood cosmos, and the post-flood new creation.  Man has yet to realize that the attempt to expunge God from the created order is also self-eradication too.  God is prior to creation, and it is he who maintains the standing wave function imposed upon void that we call reality.  God is not limited by the explanations that originat...

This episode of A Sound Heart will investigate the power of atypical thinking.  Jesus taught his discples the power of atypical thinking.  He wanted them to be free of conventional thinking that would hinder creative and adventerous thought.  Neuroplasticity is all about the importance of dynamic engagement of post-classical quantum realities.  The Spirit of God created the electromagnetic spectru...

This episode of A Sound Heart explores the necessity of removing from the heart-life behaviors and attitudes that evidence spiritual necrosis.  Without a doubt, the society of today has turned spiritual necrosis into a cult.  It seems as if the 'Dust of Death' permeates all aspect of social existence.  The language of society down to the very basic level of speech units has assumed the dark distor...

This episode of A Sound Heart will explore intentional excellence.  Intentional excellence is the mind of Christ at work in the heart of the believing one.  We live in a time of malignant disinformation and brazen lies.  People are rotting before our very eyes from sordid behavioral mischief that cuts off life.  Brutal acts are done to fellow humans with brazen malice.  A storm is gathering over o...

This episode of A Sound Heart will explore the power of God in creating new mind and hearts for us.  Without new minds and hearts we could never begin to comprehend the unsearchable riches of Christ.  Indeed, so vast are his riches toward us that they could never be searched out.  His thoughts toward you are more than the sands of the seas.  The minds and hearts of the old aeon cannot cross over i...

This episode of A Sound Heart will explore the necessity of focused self-awareness if one is to grow up as a believing one.  The flesh or sarx is the enemy of spiritual maturity.  The sarx has a mentality that is antithetical to the will of God.  The mind of the flesh cannot please God.  On the other hand, the one who desires to grow up as a believing one knows that he or she must  bring every tho...

This episode of A Sound Heart will explore the necessity of taking captive negative thinking.  Negative thinking keeps us from positive action.  This is a simple and powerful reality.  We must have the courage to uproot and dig out negative thoughts that have deep roots in  the soul. The Word of God can and will probe those area of our lives that are plagued with malignant thinking.  Negative  thi...

This episode of A Sound Heart will explore the importance of being spiritually liberated from damaging negative emotions within the sphere of the flesh(Gk. Sarx).  Negative emotions originate from darkness within the soul.  Darkness (Gk. Skotia)  means the consequences of darkness that torments the soul in search of peace.  Negative emotions can pull the soul toward a spiritual abyss. Negative tho...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the necessity of the practice of forgiveness in our lives.  We are long pass the narrow cognitive dualism of western classical science.  We have returned to the intrinsic unitary view of persons.  We are indeed psyche-soma, or body-soul.  We have come to realize that it is within the spirit of a person that reality is shaped.  Perceptions and worldviews ori...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the patience of God.  God knows the intense stresses that we face each day.  He knows that sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.  However, as believing ones we must learn the importance allowing God to lead our lives.  His leadership extents to our attitudes and actions.  God does not want us mired in anger,rage, and hostility.  When we are heavy lad...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the serious consequences of hostility to one's life.  "Hostile people release more adrenaline and norepinephrine into their blood than nonhostile people.  In general terms, these hormones raise blood pressure by constricting blood vesssels and increasing heart rate.  Angry people also have elevated cortisol levels...elevated cortisol levels cause the body t...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the necessity of being free of anger.  The angry person is truly his or her own worst enemy beause of the highly self-destructive nature of this virulent disease.  Anger is dis-ease for the one in bondage to it, and others within its caustic milieu.  Most certainly the angry person knows exactly he is miserable, and he ever so willing to share his omnious t...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the power of attitude in life.  A right attitude will allow an individual to soar as a eagle in life, and a poor attitude will imprison a life of high promise.  God will direct our paths when we allow him to lead us.  He will give us the courage to put off a wrong attitude.  Some poor attitudes are intergenerational in nature, while others are the products...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the necessity of allowing God's love to heal that malignant negative self-image that as dogged your life.  If you feel that you are merely sleepwalking through life it's time to come to God, and get a real life.  So many times we are bound by an inner sense of condemnation.  We try to seem as though all is well when in fact all is not well. Biblical wellnes...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the necessity of releasing those who taught us the dark art of self-torture.  God has given us his Word to guide us in appropriate self-understanding.  It is one of his blessings of which there are many.  If we do not forgive our captors we share their identity over us.  It is a grave personal misdeed to drink from the chalice of bitterness.  The elixer wit...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the necessity of escaping the manipulated identity imposed upon us by others.  If we live within the narrow framework of who others decree us to be we will not be free.  So many are trapped like the shadowy creatures in "Waiting For Godet."  They spend their lives waiting for someone to come and tell them who they are without telling them to whom they belon...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the new thing that God has done in Jesus.  God has acted outside of the theological box that some made for him in an attempt to control his actions.  These individuals have forgotten that God cannot live in a box designed by us.  God is Spirit and as the I AM he can only be in constant movement. God is dynamic Spirit and he is ever involved in the creative...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the necessity of God's Word in a world that is controlled by the menancing fiction of the great lie.  We are living in the dangerous milieu of "One Dimensional Man."  The inhabitants of the "Brave New World" are bewitched by the technologies that control their lives.  They are "True Believers" who cannot see the supernatural handwriting on the wall. Their l...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the reality of the new identity in Christ.  God has opened the door to a lasting and meaningful identity through the Christ Event.  Through the finished work of Christ a new anthropology has been created that is unencumbered with the presence of sinful ruin.  This new anthropology has fostered a new identity that is centered in God and not in the fictional...
