Biblically Exploring New Perspectives. June 19, 2014. Financial Advise From Jed Clampett? Well, here's an unlikely source of good financial advise- but good financial advise it is! 21st-century Americans would do well to be as content financially as ole Jed.

Biblically Exploring New Perspectives. June 23, 2015. The Problem of Happiness, Part 1. On the one hand, the urgent pursuit of happiness is an intrinsic and irresistible appetite encoded in our DNA as human beings.

Biblically Exploring New Perspectives. April 13, 2015. Intra-Trinitarian Love, the Church's Relational Model and Empowering Source.
