The Inherent Contradiction of Denying Absolute Truth In this episode of the Cogitations podcast, hosted by Tony Brewer, the core topic revolves around the concept of absolute truth. Brewer begins with an introduction to the podcast series and a biblical reference from Daniel 7:28. He emphasizes the importance of discussing absolute truth rather than keeping opinions to oneself. Brewer shares an anecdote involving Drew Leonard's university experience, where a professor's attempt to disprove absolute truths falls apart due to inherent contradictions. The discussion critiques relativism, highlighting that denying absolute truths is logically and morally unsustainable. Brewer argues that truth is grounded in the character of God and warns of the societal consequences of relativistic thinking.

In this captivating episode of ‘Cogitations', Tony Brewer delves into the perennial question surrounding the underlying reason for bad occurrences. At the heart of the discussion is whether these unwelcome experiences are authored by God or the result of Satan's disturbances in God's otherwise ideal creation, leading to our earthly issues. From the narrative of Job to recollections about an old war veteran's dialogue with God in his dream, and a woman who, despite losing everything, chose to remain happy, the episode offers several lenses to view suffering and adversity. Tony emphasizes the significance of not blaming God but acknowledging that it's human beings who fall prey to the devil's manipulations. After an enriching conversation about the inception and nature of evil and the ramifications of our decisions, Tony presents thoughtful reflections from 1 Peter 4. Listeners are urged to take their hardships in stride, recognizing its essential function in their spiritual growth. The podcast blends scripture analysis, philosophical ruminations, and true-life accounts, designed to prompt contemplation even after it ends. Exploring ways to maintain unswerving faith in God's authority, even amidst difficulties, is the crux of this episode. It inspires listeners to persist through their struggles, considering them as opportunities for spiritual refinement rather than as forms of punishment. As the host acknowledges audience contributions, it nurtures a dynamic, congenial faith community. The concluding segment revisits the purification process unique to precious metals, paralleling it with the trials challenging our faith. The closing remarks highlight the value of our faith being refined just like pure gold through trials, leaving listeners with a renewed sense of spiritual strength. The episode is an invaluable spiritual compass for those seeking to comprehend and withstand their life's trials with unwavering faith and perseverance. With empowering insights derived from biblical teachings, listen in to navigate your life, with your faith holding you firm, assured that you are heard, and that your trials will eventually lead to profound spiritual fulfillment.

This episode is my thoughts about a post on Facebook. Take a listen an let me know what you think.  Here is the post:   Stop the Anonymous Complaints by Brad Harrub, Ph.D. How can we make our local congregations stronger? Stop allowing members to hide behind the elders and instead, encourage reconciliation. Teach members how to confront other members in the spirit of humility, mercy, and love. I cannot tell you how many times I've heard about elders confronting members or the preacher with a complaint from another member. Oftentimes, this confrontation is done while keeping the complaining party anonymous. And so, the confronted member sits in an elders meeting being on the receiving end of comments like: • We've been told your children made a mess in the teacher's workroom. • We've had complaints that your sermons are too short/long. • Someone came to us about something you put on Facebook. • We've had complaints about your children running through the building. • The sermon you preached offended some of our members. • Someone came to us about your daughter's immodest dress. And the list goes on and on and on. Sadly, when you ask who the complaining party is the common response is: “They have asked that we not reveal their name.” As a result, the person who is confronted never has the ability to fully explain to that person their side or more importantly, to reconcile. (Instead, the confronted party spends the next 24-hours trying to figure out exactly who brought up the complaint—and bitterness often ensues.) I know personally of 2-3 elders who have positioned themselves in various congregations as the person to "go to" if you have charges against someone else. They are quick to hear complaints. Sadly, these same men are not pursuing reconciliation between members. They are simply trying to be people pleasers and smooth things over. While they may believe this anonymous approach is most beneficial, simply put, it does not work—and it goes against the biblical principle of reconciliation. (It also goes against Matthew 18 when sin is involved.) Instead, it turns the situation into a big battle of “he said/she said,” with members trying to determine whose side the elders are on. Proverbs 18:17 says, “The first one to plead his cause seems right, until his neighbor comes and examines him.” Solomon recognized that the first person to complain “seems right”—but he recognized there are two sides to every story. Imagine the changes that would happen if elders refused to hear these complaints, and instead directed the complainer to the person who offended them. Don't like something the preacher said? Let's go talk to him and see if he really meant it the way you heard it. Imagine how many relationships could be salvaged if the leadership of the congregation just facilitated a face-to-face meeting between the two parties. For instance, imagine this hypothetical situation: A woman comes to the elders complaining about someone's children making a mess in the teacher's workroom. She demands they confront the mother of the children, put a lock on the door to the workroom, and make an announcement that children under 16 are no longer allowed in the workroom. Imagine the difference that would happen if the elder she approached asked her to meet with him and the mother of the child. Maybe before the meeting he studies with her on humility or loving as Jesus loved. Imagine if the mother of the child was allowed to apologize and offered to have her child clean up the mess or offered money to replace wasted supplies. Or imagine if the mother pointed out that while she and her children were in the workroom, it was actually the youth minister who made the mess. The point is this—bringing the two parties together allows both sides to be clearly explained and allows for the chance of reconciliation. If we want our local congregations to be strong, we must be able to confront one another in the spirit of love—realizing we are all a part of the same Christian family with the same goal of heaven!   ________________________________________________________________ Cogitations now has a Facebook page.

Nope, this isn't a rant about folk not doing what I think they should or shouldn't do. Today I am talking about being liberal in how we live and conduct ourselves and how we think about the misfortune of others. Let me know what you think.  _________________________________________ Cogitations now has a Facebook page.

Presenting the truth is one of the most important skill a Christian can develop. That being said, many will critique the presentation of the truth if the presenter makes some angry or "runs off" some of the hearers. Accusations are thrown such as, you were not loving enough, you were too harsh, or you were not passionate enough. In this episode we will look at the Bible and see if any of these critiques hold water.   Cogitations now has a Facebook page.

This is something I have been thinking about for awhile. The defining virtue of God is faithfulness. I know Scripture teaches that God is love, but I do not thing that contradicts what I am saying. Without love one cannot or will not be faithful and without faithfulness or loyalty one shows one does not love.

  The topic of which Bible translation/version to use is a hot one. I recently saw a question posted online that cause me to think about the times this topic has come up over the years. I am sad to say that this is, i believe, only an issue because of the soft bigotry of low expectation; and this idea that in order to understand the things the Bible teaches one must be some kind of big-brain-super-nerdy-dusty-scholar type. If I were the average individual I would be highly insulted at the way people come at this topic. I hope you listen and find encouragement.   ______________________________________________ digitalbiblestudy.org now has a locals page.
