Dialogue

Sexuality in a PC world

In our current climate of political correctness it is hard to have meaningful conversations about sensitive issues - and it doesn't get more sensitive than the question of homosexuality. The left would label their opposition as bigots, whilst the right will level the charge of sodomy. The talk will explore a possible 'third way' in which to think, feel and speak about sexual identity.

Dealing with anger

Mark Twain once quipped; “When angry, count to four. When very angry, swear.” 

Dealing with anger is something all people have to face.  It has the power to disintegrate our health, our communities, and our individual wisdom.  It is like an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured. Having said that, it would seem that anger can be a legitimate response to genuine injustice.

Which brings us to the question - Is it possible for me to manage my anger in a God-honoring way: to be angry and not sin?

Signals of transcendence

Hoekom sukkel ek om die evangelie te deel

Dit wil voorkom of daar baie Christene is wat sukkel om oor hul geloof te praat. J.I Packer vra tereg: "If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize?" Chris de Beer reflekteer hoe ons dit kan regkry om deel te neem aan die dissipline van evangelisasie.

Spiritual Guidance: Discerning the Will off God

Spiritual direction, like our spiritual formation, applies to the sum total of our lives. If we do not seek it in all of our affairs, we might as well not seek it. For we are all on a journey, and every day we make choices that determine the destiny of our journey. The purpose of spiritual direction is to assist us in recognizing our blind-spots and weaknesses; to assist us in our growth and pursuit of the Living God. 

Attributes of God's existence and Divine aseity

Every time you sin you forget who God really is. For this reason it is important to reflect on his attributes and the impact it was on our everyday lives. The talk focus on the attribute of God's divine aseity.

If God is Good, why does the world seem so bad?

There are much beauty and good in the world, but there are also horrors both physically and morally. Humanity seems in a struggle for survival, and yet Christians claim that God is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful. If God is all these things, then why is there evil in the world?
