Send us Fan MailWe start with a simple mystery: how the same person can make a proud plan at night and break it in the morning, even while still believing the plan is good. We connect akrasia, free will, and moral responsibility to transaction costs, treating self-control as a contracting problem between competing versions of ourselves. • Jordan I and Jordan II as a model of divided preferences over time • Hard determinism, libertarian free will, and compatibilism as the main philosophical map • Responsibility and punishment as social conventions that reduce coordination costs • Aristotle on voluntary intoxication and why blame can attach upstream • Akrasia defined as wanting to want the right thing • Plato's knowledge-based denial of akrasia versus Aristotle's acceptance of weakness of will • Paul and Augustine on the internal conflict of the will • Time-inconsistent preferences and hyperbolic discounting as a behavioral explanation • Commitment devices as credible commitments and transaction cost engineering • Odysseus and the sirens as the classic precommitment story • Listener letter on military punctuality as costly signaling and institutional discipline • Listener letter on recycling labels as regulation creating new transaction costs Links and Sources1.

This summer, we explore themes from popular films alongside Scripture, uncovering how God's truth speaks through the stories we love. From adventure and sacrifice to redemption and hope, each week reminds us that God is present in every part of our story—inviting us into something greater. This week, Parish Associate, Rev. Dr. Chris Lenocker delves into the classic movie, The Shawshank Redemption. Pastor Chris examines the journey of banker Andy Dufresne who is wrongfully convicted of mudering his wife and sentenced to life in a harsh prison. Over the next two decades, he befriends fellow inmate Red, survives rampant corruption, and covertly digs a tunnel to freedom. In following Andy Dufresne's journey, we discover what true freedon is for us as followers of Christ, and that no matter how strong the chains that bind, the gospel offers freedom from within.  Passage: Romans 6:15-23 We have three worship opportunities for you to experience: 9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary Service 9:30 a.m. - Online Service 10:30 a.m. - Chapel Service  Please consider joining us for one of these services.  To view past worship services along with other digital content, go to our Youtube Channel @PointLomaChurchOnline.  To get involved in what God is doing within our community, please visit our website at www.pointlomachurch.org.

Happy Father's Day! Join us as we study God's word, honor fathers, and enjoy a special Father's Day treat. In Romans 4, Paul untangles a crucial question: What actually makes us right with God? Looking closely at the relationship between God, Israel, and the meaning of righteousness, we discover that justification isn't earned by our behavior. Instead, Paul masterfully shows that true righteousness comes down to one thing—placing our faith in the right object. Passage: Romans 4:7-17

This weekend, we had the opportunity to go away to church camp to be with God and God's family. The theme was Altars and as we looked at the purposes of altars in the Old Testament, we saw that it all pointed towards Jesus, who's ultimate sacrifice on the cross became the greatest altar. But what about now? What does it mean for us to be living sacrifices? Join us as we conclude our camp today. God bless. Passage: Romans 12:1-2

What happens when a culture - or a heart- begins to suppress the truth? This week Pastor Kevin unpacks the warnings found in Romans 1 regarding the spiritual and societal consequences of turning away from God's reality. We will explore how to remain mindful of our choices so that we can live in goodness of Spirit rather than the shadows of modern distraction. Passage Romans 1:18-23

Week 3 of Life 2.0 answers the question: How do we live the new life Jesus gives us? While many people try to follow Jesus through sheer willpower, the Christian life was never meant to be lived that way. Through resurrection, God gives believers His Holy Spirit, whose power raised Jesus from the dead and now lives within His followers. The Spirit convicts us of sin, guides us into truth, and produces new character in our lives as we walk with Him. Rather than trying harder, we learn to keep in step with the Spirit by inviting His leadership, noticing His guidance, and following His promptings in everyday moments. Because of the resurrection, new life is not only forgiven—it is powered and led by the Holy Spirit. Passage: Romans 8:11-14; John 16:8-9, 13-14; Galatians 5:16-17 Speaker: David Wyman

Many people think Christianity is about becoming a better version of themselves, but the resurrection offers something far greater than self-improvement. In Romans 6 and Colossians 3, Paul explains that when we trust Jesus, we are united with Him in His death and resurrection: the old life defined by sin dies, and a new life begins. Because of this new identity, we no longer have to hide or manage the mistakes of the past; we can lay them down and begin living differently. New life begins when the old life ends, and that new life starts when we trust Jesus as our Forgiver and Leader. Passage: Romans 6:1-4, 6-7 & Colossians 2: 20, 3:1 & 5-11 Speaker: Kevin Stiles

Date: Sunday, March 15, 2026Title: Preaching the Good NewsPreacher: Wayne MeadowsSeries: Romans (Part 45)Passage: Romans 10:14-21

Many people define themselves by their careers, relationships, appearance, or abilities, but these aspects of identity are fundamentally unstable because they can change or be lost. Real identity is not determined by what we do or what others say about us. The Bible teaches that our true identity is grounded in what God has done and what He says about us. Join us as we explore what God declares about our identity to discover our truest selves. Sermon Description: Who are you? You are not defined by what others say about you, or even by what you think about yourself. You are who God says you are. For those who made Jesus their forgiver and leader, God says you are not a slave to your desires, you are free, and you are His child. Join us as we discover what that means and how you can step into who you really are. Passage: Romans 8:12-17 Speaker: Kevin Stiles

Date: Sunday, March 1, 2026Title: Israel's UnbeliefPreacher: Wayne MeadowsSeries: Romans (Part 43)Passage: Romans 9:30 - 10:4

In Romans 1, Paul exposes the root issue beneath sin: not just bad behavior, but dishonor. Humanity did not simply disobey — we exchanged. We traded the glory of the Creator for created things. And when God loses His rightful weight in our lives, something else always takes His place.In this message, Phil Martinez explores what it truly means to honor God. Biblically, honor carries the idea of weight — to treat God as significant, essential, and first. When we treat Him as light, optional, or secondary, our thinking becomes distorted and our hearts grow dark. But when we restore His rightful place, everything changes.This sermon is both a mirror and an invitation. Where has God become optional? What carries the most weight in your decisions — His Word, your feelings, culture, success, comfort? Honor begins in humility. It shows up in worship, obedience, generosity, suffering, and everyday life.God is not looking for perfect people — He is looking for surrendered hearts.Today is an opportunity to reverse the exchange. To give God back the weight He deserves. To honor Him not just with our lips, but with our lives.Passage: Romans 1:18–25
