God’s Name is El-Shaddai

Daniel Thomson

Summary

He showed Himself in Exodus 3:14, 15: "I'm who I'm who I'm who I'm who I'm who I To the children of Israel, say, "Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name forever and ever, and this is my monument to all generations."" "And God spoke unto Moses, and said unto him, I am Jehovah: and I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah, I was not known [or was not made known] to them," it says in Exodus 6:2, 3. It was believed that this signified the Patriarchs didn't fully comprehend the meaning of that name. Naturally, the whole meaning of a name that implies the ever-existing One, the eternal, the everbecoming One—that is, the One who is always revealing Himself and His methods and purposes—could not be grasped until centuries and centuries of events and experiences had unfolded. The argument is that God was known to the Patriarchs in particular.
 
God Almighty, or El- Shaddai in Hebrew, is one of God's names.
 
The name initially appears in relation to Abraham.

Woke Injustice - A Biblical...

Bryan Osborne

Woke Injustice by Bryan Osborne takes a deep dive into the pervasive influence of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and its growing presence in every facet of society, including the church. Far from being a neutral or helpful analytical tool, CRT is a dangerous ideology that seeks to divide and destroy, operating under the guise of social justice and equity. Osborne exposes the true nature of CRT, revealing it as a system designed to undermine biblical truth, disrupt the unity of the church, and reshape society according to a new, unbiblical standard. 
 
Tracing the roots and evolution of CRT, Osborne demonstrates how this ideology has spread far beyond academia, seeping into schools, corporations, media, and even Christian institutions. Through deceptive language and redefined concepts like "whiteness," "privilege," and "racism," CRT advances an agenda that is fundamentally at odds with the gospel. It promotes division and discord, leading to a fractured understanding of identity, justice, and reconciliation within the church. 
 
Osborne's book is both an urgent warning and a practical guide for Christians who seek to stand against the tide of CRT and its destructive influence. By meticulously unpacking the core principles of CRT and comparing them with the truth of Scripture, he provides readers with the knowledge and tools needed to discern and counter this dangerous ideology. The book's thorough analysis of key concepts, such as "white fragility" and "anti-racism," alongside a strong biblical framework, equips believers to engage with the cultural challenges of today without compromising their faith. 
 
Woke Injustice is more than just a critique; it’s a call to action for the church to reaffirm its commitment to the sufficiency of Scripture and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? —Peter, Matthew 18:21

Phenomenology - Philosophy and...

Hector Davidson

Phenomenology is a branch of philosophy that seeks to explore and describe the structures of experience as they present themselves to consciousness. Rooted in the Greek words phainomenon (meaning "that which appears") and logos (meaning "study" or "discourse"), phenomenology is concerned with the direct investigation and description of phenomena as consciously experienced, without recourse to theories about their causal explanation or objective reality. It aims to understand the essence of experiences, focusing on how things are perceived, rather than on external facts or empirical data.
Edmund Husserl, often regarded as the father of phenomenology, established the discipline in the early 20th century. His groundbreaking work sought to return philosophy to the "things themselves," emphasizing the need to examine experiences without preconceived notions or biases. Husserl introduced the concept of intentionality, the idea that consciousness is always directed toward something—it is always consciousness of something. This fundamental notion shifted the focus from the contents of the mind to the ways in which objects are experienced, highlighting the inseparable relationship between the subject and the object in acts of consciousness.
Phenomenology differs from other philosophical approaches in that it does not seek to explain experiences through causal or scientific means. Instead, it adopts a descriptive method, aiming to reveal the underlying structures that make experience possible. Through techniques such as epoché (the suspension of judgment about the external world) and phenomenological reduction (focusing solely on the contents of consciousness), phenomenologists attempt to uncover the pure essence of experiences, free from external assumptions.
