Do You Know HOW You Know?

I never will forget the moment in college when I was confronted with the question "how do you know?" It was in an undergraduate philosophy class and I had actually never really thought about "how" I knew things. The fancy name for this is "epistemology." And epistemology is the study of how we know. It…

The old Janis Joplin song declares "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." Is that your definition of freedom? Nowadays the word "freedom" is usually used in the context of politics or revolution. And folks have reduced the definition of freedom to mean "doing what I want to do." Of course, this is…

The old saying is "It is easier to avoid temptation than to resist it." And while that may be true, our real lives have shown that we will most likely have to resist temptation more than we will be attentive enough to avoid it! But that isn't all bad. The truth is learning to resist temptation…

You can use a hammer to do many things, from nailing a board to a stud to breaking a window to even more nefarious and criminal acts, but "why" was the hammer made in the first place? Answer that question and you'll get to the very nature of a hammer's existence. If it works for…

The American astronaut Buzz Aldrin once said “Timing has always been a key element in my life. I have been blessed to have been in the right place at the right time.” And, of course, this reminds me of the old saying in comedy, “Timing is everything.” It really is amazing when all the elements of time, opportunity, ability,…

Christ is baptized! King Solomon says this in Ecclesiastes 12:13 - "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." And that's a great way to wrap up our first week of devotionals for the New Year. But that also begs the question:…

St. Theophan, the Recluse declares "The chief end of our life is to live in communion with God. To this end, the Son of God became incarnate, in order to return us to this divine communion, which was lost by the fall into sin. Through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, we enter into communion…

The implications of this false idea are enormous! This notion that the Physical world and the Spiritual world are separate and disconnected causes all kinds of problems, and that is mainly because this idea is FALSE. The Physical world and the Spiritual world are ONE WORLD because Jesus bridges the divide. IF you live as if…

The answer to the Choas of life, personally and societally, is an Incarnate Christ rather than an opposing philosophy and theology. Centering my thinking, my choices, and my mindset on the Mystery of Jesus Christ. The Enfleshing of God heals the divide between the physical and the spiritual. And in so doing, Jesus offers us…
