I also produce radio program called Finding Truth Matters where I take the ancient truth of God's Word, explain it, and show how it is relevant for today. I spend a fair bit time helping couples prepare for their marriages and have been doing so now for nearly 30 years. Lately, I've been producing some 1 minute audios for radio stations where I try to take a complex problem or idea and simplify it and offer a different perspective for people to consider. I blog. I write eBooks on some of these topics as well.

Knowing God Through The Psalms - Part 2, Developing Confidence in GOD's Care
April 14, 2024 21:00 - 40 minutes - 55.6 MBThe first of the five books of the Book of Psalms are psalms largely written by King David. In Psalm 4 David is under threat and he expresses his confidence in GOD because he has come to continually experience GOD's care. GOD's faithfulness to him over the years gave him many reasons to trust GOD even in difficult times. Let's consider what we can learn from Psalm 4 so that we too can develop confidence in GOD.

Knowing God Through The Psalms - Part 1, Introducing The Psalms
April 07, 2024 20:59 - 35 minutes - 40.2 MBThe Book of Psalms has helped millions of believers to articulate their worship of GOD. These 150 Psalms are written as poetry which express prayers, experiences, desires. The Book of the Five Volumes of Psalms have been compiled either by Ezra, or a disciple of Ezra. Thus, there are at least two Psalms that are what we might refer to as 'editorial' psalms (Psalm 1, and 119). It is interesting to consider that the poetry of Psalms is reflective of GOD'S 'language'. Poetry is by its very natu...

About Knowing God - Part 6, THE CHALLENGE OF KNOWING & BEING KNOWN & HOW IT TRANSFORMS US
March 17, 2024 20:00 - 36 minutes - 50.5 MBIntuitively we might suspect GOD to be unique, eternal (uncreated), infinitely loving (which means GOD is not a monolith), all-powerful, impeccably good (holy), supremely intelligent, communicative, transcendent (unlike us), immanent (close to us), omnipresent.

The Lordship of Jesus Christ - Part 7, GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY
January 07, 2024 20:00 - 48 minutes - 66.2 MBThe Word was not hedged in by His body, nor did His presence in the body prevent His being present elsewhere as well. When He moved His body He did not cease also to direct the universe by His Mind and might. No. The marvelous truth is, that being the Word, so far from being Himself contained by anything, He actually contained all things Himself. In creation He is present everywhere, yet is distinct in being from it; ordering, directing, giving life to all, containing all, yet is He Himself t...

December 31, 2023 20:00 - 36 minutes - 49.9 MBThroughout the times that backdrop most of the Old Testament, the nations that surrounded Israel conceived of a world in which there were gods that ruled over a nation or territory. Several of these territorial deities are named in the Old Testament - Ba’al, Dagon, Molech, Rimmon, Nebo, Bel, Marduk, and Azazel, for example. But the God of the Bible, Yahweh (“Yar-way”) refused to be thought of as a mere territorial god! Yet, despite His constant revelation to His covenant people, the Hebrews, ...

The Lordship of Jesus Christ - Part 3: He Was Before Anything
December 10, 2023 20:00 - 35 minutes - 49.4 MBFor those unfamiliar with the story of the Bible who may be seeking to remedy that unfamiliarity, I would recommend that they start reading in the New Testament. It is there that they will be introduced immediately to Jesus who is the central character of the whole Bible. For many novice readers of the Bible who then attempt to read the Old Testament of the Bible (its first 39 books), it initially seems like they are reading a completely unrelated story which seems to describe a completely di...
