Latte Links (5/15)

May 15, 2009 By Shane Vander Hart

I decided to retire the Twenty Items posts.  A couple of reasons for this… First, it was getting time consuming to find twenty items to post.  Second I wanted to highlight links a little more often as I read them.  I can’t promise this daily, but it will be more often than weekly.  Why Latte […]

Podcast: The Nature of God

September 29, 2008 By Shane Vander Hart

Are you a functional atheist?  Many people profess one thing, but lives reflect an entirely different set of beliefs.  Good theology is practical.  Much poor theology is reflected in people’s misconceptions of God.  Shane Vander Hart kicks off his “God is” series at Grace Evangelical Free Church in Indianola by looking at the Nature of […]

God is Sufficient

September 10, 2008 By Shane Vander Hart

I’d like to get your feedback on this.  What comes to mind when you read this statement – “God is sufficient”?  Meaning that God is totally and absolutely complete within Himself.  He needs nothing.  In Paul’s sermon to the men of Athens in the Areopagus. The God who made the world and everything in it, […]

Against Abortion: Innocent Blood

February 20, 2008 By Shane Vander Hart

As I’ve blogged on a Biblical framework for the pro-life position we’ve looked at the biblical position that life begins in the womb, we’ve seen that based on God’s ownership we belong to Him – not others, and that God has exclusive prerogative over human life and death. As we build on those Biblical truths […]

Against Abortion: God’s Prerogative

February 8, 2008 By Shane Vander Hart

I’ve posted on a Biblical basis for personhood of the preborn, and then most recently blogged on God’s ownership of us and His creation.  The next thing to look at as we discuss a biblical/theological framework for the pro-life position is the question – who has the prerogative over human life and death? “‘See now […]
