The Gestalt Effect

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! I really hope you enjoy this investigation of the Gestalt Effect. The triangle image for the episode is a practical example of how the eye fills in the details. I first came upon this while reading an excellent book on modesty. I'll share a link for that book: Secret Keeper by Dannah Gresh The word Gestalt simply means seeing things as a whole, as a full picture. The mind takes in pieces of information and instantly tries to fill in something common and make a judgment. Different principles dictate this almost instantaneo

Episode 156 - "Do Not Disturb!"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Stop and Enjoy Rest We know biblical rest means more than taking a break, but what’s it really about? What would a weekly Sabbath communicate to a bunch of former Egyptian slaves? And What’s The Deal with God resting on the seventh day of creation? This week we continue the What’s Good guided study, pausing to appreciate God’s gift of rest. We learn to get away from it all Like the Teacher, Jesus, did in Mark 6:30-32. And we share what keeps us from relaxing, realizing we’re still learning how to rest. Go to biblegeeks.fm/good for the guides, videos, and all the What’s Good resources. The Big

ARE Bible Study - Working for the Lord

The Daily Answer

The Bible says that if a man does not work, neither shall he eat. Well, many never work but seem to enjoy the blessings of this life regardless. Should we try to find ways to get out of work? Should we demand that society and the government provide for our needs? There are many forms of work, but the command in scripture is to provide for your household, do good unto others, be fruitful in society and, most importantly, give back to God. How can we fulfill God’s command to work if we refuse to do so or refuse to give it our best efforts?

Psalm 67

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This brief Psalm pictures all nations and peoples praising God. The Psalm is built on the promises of God to Abraham to bless all nations through him and his descendants (Gen. 12:1-3; 22:18) and the blessing the priests pronounced (Numbers 6:24-26). The nations are not viewed as hostile like Psalm 2:1 or asking God to judge them like Psalm 59:5, but instead it pictures the nations praising God because of the blessings that His people receive. God is praised because He judges the nations with uprightness (4), and guides them (4), and because He blesses HIs people (6). Jesus and Psalm 67 Jesus i

MORE TIME-TRAVEL: Signs and faith. "The Time Machine." The Flash. Steam Time.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! We’ve all fantasized about being able to go back in time and correct past wrongs, or go forward and escape current hardships. Current technology will not allow either, though — and I for one am glad. This week we will discuss how to live in the world we have made for ourselves or was made for us; the folly of asking John F. Kennedy to fix the world; how the “Grandfather Paradox” doesn’t negate time travel, and why it doesn’t matter; and a new, politically correct look at an old favorite.

Pride Prevents Promise

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Israel was baptized through the Red Sea. They sang a song of victory and rejoiced in the grace of God. But... most of those celebrating that day did not make it home to the promised land. Why not? Pride. They began to feel entitled, and that caused them to turn attention from God to themselves. Part of our episode today will investigate the mistakes of Israel in I Corinthians 10. How can we be less like them, more dependent on God, and beautifully humble? We will also list 8 things from Kevin Deyoung's book, Crazy Busy. T

Episode 155 - "Gotta Eat a Vegetable"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Embrace the Opportunity to Do Good Work Who’s the boss in your life? Who really signs your paychecks? And is work a curse or a gift? This week, we take on session 2 of the What’s Good guided study, celebrating God’s gift of work - both ours, and the work of others. We count down our Top 4 Proverbs on work and discover a surprising “destroyer.” And after Finding Jesus in a commandment to slaves, our Reach Out question looks at the source of our work ethic. From the tasks you secretly love to those frustrating aspects of your job, Scripture gives a lot of direction and leaves no doubt that work

S2 E70 - Give Thanks To God...Always

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and I certainly know that I have so much to be grateful for. It's our first Thanksgiving as a family of 5, and that is just the tip of the iceburg. We are blessed with our church family, our friends, our home, and so many other things. God has been good to us far beyond measure. It's easy to be thankful when things are good, but what about when they're not? Well...we need to learn that gratitude is not tied to God's blessings, but much rather to his unchanging nature. Regardless of our circumstances, God is still God, and he is worthy of our thanks an
