Show Notes:
Higher Ed. Crisis:
- We are in the middle of a higher education bubble that is soon going to be followed by a crash
- Conservative Christian parents have thought much more about their children’s college than their grade-school
- College is seen as too much of a savior is not worth all the money that many colleges are offering
- Education is not our savior
- An educational reformation in America is not going to happen until Christian parents stop feeding the beast
The Devil’s Dictionary:
- Written by Ambrose Bierce
- Although he is not a Christian, he knows how to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee
- This is a satiric dictionary that will greatly help your writing
- You should read dictionaries
Hamartia
- Looking at the word in Colossians
- Hamartia is found in Colossians 1:14, 2:11, 2:12
- Spiritual baptism and physical baptism are related
- Spiritual circumcision and physical baptism are related
- What then holds us back from saying that there is a connection with physical circumcision and physical baptism
