In this episode, we're laying out a biblical guide to making decisions, both for yourself and for your family.

Are you feeling apprehensive about the upcoming year? In Luke 2, a mysterious man named Simeon appears for a very short scene. He makes an astonishing prophecy about Jesus and then disappears, never to be seen again in the Bible. In that prophecy, Simeon reveals three shocking truths about the arrival of Jesus. These are: The salvation that went to the "wrong" people. The sign that gave the "wrong" message. The sword the pointed the "wrong" way. In this episode, we will look at each one, and we will see why the very things that make Jesus' arrival on earth so shocking, also bring incredible comfort in the year ahead. Simeon's Prophecy is one of the lesser-known encounters with Jesus in the Gospels, despite being part of the broader birth narrative. Enjoy this educational and inspiring episode from The Think Institute. This is a sermon that Joel Settecase preached on December 31, 2023, at Fox Valley Christian Church in Illinois. ---- Please support this work!

You are about to watch Joel Settecase get interviewed by the hosts of The Particular Baptist Podcast. We will discuss... • What makes religions incoherent, and how Christianity avoids that trap. • Why we must defend the true God of the Bible (not "bare theism"). • Why I never merely argue from evidence. • How to show that the very concept of truth is meaningless without God (and how to explain this).

How can someone get so close to God, yet completely miss Him? This is the question Paul had to answer on Mars Hill in Acts 17:16–34. Back then, as today, there are three things that keep people from knowing God: • Our DELUSIONS • Our DEFENSES • Our DESPAIR God shatters each and every one of those with Biblical truth. Watch and see how "Biblical truth destroys disbelief." This is a sermon Joel Settecase preached at Fox Valley Christian Church in December of 2023, entitled, "Unveiling the Unknown God."

Recently a question was asked by a member of the ThinkSquad, our free, online community.

In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of J.R.R. Tolkien and his profound impact on literature, Christianity, and the human imagination with our guestMichael Jahosky, author of "The Good News of the Return of the King."Here's a sneak peek of the questions answered and topics discussed in this thought-provoking episode: What makes J.R.R. Tolkien an important author? What is Tolkien trying to accomplish in his writings? What is the connection of his stories to his worldview? What is Michael Jahosky's favorite Tolkien work, and why? What work of Tolkien's should a reader start with? Music plays a huge role in Tolkien's Middle Earth. Is our world affected by heavenly music in a similar way? Would Tolkien have understood the elements of the Old Testament such as talking snakes and talking donkeys as literally and historically true, given his understanding of Scripture's message as "True Myth?" Should the topic of "beauty" be dealt with more in Christian circles? Have we neglected aesthetics? What are good sources on that topic? We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did, filled with intriguing insights, scholarly analysis, and profound reflections on the intersection of faith, literature, and the enduring legacy of J.R.R. Tolkien. Thank you for your continued support of The Think Institute. Keep Thinking,Joel Settecase----P.S.
