If you have relationships, you've likely been part of silent agreements. Silent agreements are the implicit "rules" of your relationships that arise from unspoken beliefs and expectations that both parties hold, stemming from your earliest experiences and reinforced as you mature. They can sound something like "the person who makes more money should pay for the dates," or "my boss doesn't offer me a raise, and he knows I won't ask for one". These agreements can hinder your relationships, remaining undiscussed due to fear, aversion to conflict, feelings of obligation, or guilt.

Wisdom Begins with the Fear of God Sir Matthew Hale (1609–1676) was one of the most respected jurists of seventeenth-century England, known for his integrity, legal scholarship, and deep Christian faith. A man of both intellect and piety, Hale believed that the existence and attributes of God are clearly revealed in creation and that our failure to acknowledge Him is the root of all folly. In these two essays—one on why we must consider our final end and another on the fear of God—Hale argues that if we want to be wise, we must consider how our physical death is a call to repent of ...

Philosophy does not begin in scripture but scripture tells us where philosophy begins. The ruins of the Acropolis are a fitting symbol for the condition of philosophy. Having started out with great aspirations it has not retained its place among the disciplines in the Academy. We can account for this by looking at its starting place. The Wisdom Literature and the Sermon on the Mount tell us where to begin philosophy. We are also told of those philosophers who think they know and presume to teach others, but who do not know the basic things. This book is meant to call us to consider the ...

Samson: A Biblical Hero challenges the modern caricature of Israel’s strongest judge. Too often, Samson is portrayed as a reckless failure or a cautionary tale of wasted potential. Others reduce him to a man of brute force with oversized muscles and unchecked passions, a tragic figure God used despite himself. He has been stolen from generations of young Christians who needed his example to learn to fight in the spiritual war. But what if we’ve misunderstood him? In this bold reexamination, Dr. Owen Anderson recovers Samson as a biblical hero, as one appointed by God not merely to lead ...

The eternal power and divine nature of God are clearly revealed in general revelation. And we are responsible to understand what is clear to reason about God. To get understanding we need arguments to show what is true. In this book, Dr. Owen Anderson gives twelve arguments that show how we can know God is real. The criticism of theistic arguments is that they do not actually get to the knowledge of the Biblical God. They prove only the gods of the philosophers which fall far short of the knowledge of God. To correct this mistake, Dr. Anderson begins with a full definition of God and then ...

The Apostle John is on an island prison. The young Christian religion is facing its first empire-wide persecution under Domitian. Then, while John was in prayer, one like a son of man appeared to him. John is given seven visions. Each vision tells of the conflict between good and evil and how the Word of God conquers the world. Each vision gives a different perspective of the enemy and his forces. And each vision tells of the Lord Jesus Christ, who receives all glory and praise as he rules the world. What is the outcome? The earth is filled with the knowledge of the glory of God, the second...
