In this often neglected passage of Scripture, the apostle Paul sets forth six different levels in which the supremacy of Christ brings itself to bear. We see that He is the creating Lord, providential Lord, covenantal Lord, invading Lord, incarnate Lord, and restoring Lord. The upshot of all this is that we do not simply have the right to think whatever we want to about these six different realms of reality. Nor does anything “stick out,” since the Lordship of His worldview covers “all things.” http://www.thewellboise.com/sermon/all-things http://www.thewellboise.com/mediafiles/session-5-ethics.mp3 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:29:23 CDT Matt Marino Christian Worldview Class being,causation,authority,worldview,attributes,essense,sovereignty,providence,philosophy,logic,supremacy_of_christ,colossians_1,metaphysics,philosophy,christian_ethics 71:03 The Fruits of the Spirit are a test of conversion, with Love being the center of those fruits. http://www.thewellboise.com/sermon/the-love-of-the-spirit-is-conversion http://www.thewellboise.com/mediafiles/the-love-of-the-spirit-is-conversion.mp3 Sun, 28 Sep 2008 22:22:11 CDT Matt Marino Galatians fruit_of_the_spirit,love,conversion 67:36 Now we start to look at the different elements of metaphysics: being, essence, cause, necessity, contingency, form, matter, actuality, and potentiality. We look at the five kinds of causes—efficient, formal, material, instrumental, and end—and briefly define the five different arguments for the existence of God within natural theology. Finally, we offer our own argument that we call “The Blue Marble” proof. http://www.thewellboise.com/sermon/what-kind-of-reality-is-the-real-one http://www.thewellboise.com/mediafiles/session-4-metaphysics.mp3 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 12:26:35 CDT Matt Marino Christian Worldview Class end,efficient,formal,material,aristotle,causation,blue_marble_proof,metaphysics,attributes_of_god,atheism,proof,existence_of_god,christianity,philosophy,logic,laws_of_logic,contradictions,instrumental 83:58 The Big Idea is that sin is incompatible with the kingdom of God. If you love sin mroe than God, then you don't love God at all; and it is evidence that you're not saved.

In other words, it asks the question: What exists? and What kind of a thing exists? In the first of two weeks, we examine the basic metaphysic of biblical theism and compare it to competing worldviews such as Atheism, Deism, Dualism, Pantheism, and Polytheism. http://www.thewellboise.com/sermon/what-is-the-biggest-thing http://www.thewellboise.com/mediafiles/worldview-session-3-metaphysics.mp3 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 12:23:48 CDT Matt Marino Christian Worldview Class pantheism,polytheism,monotheis,lewis,supernaturalism,naturalism,god,worldview,christian,atheism,philosophy,logic,metaphysics 88:26 http://www.thewellboise.com/sermon/the-spirit-vs-the-flesh- http://www.thewellboise.com/mediafiles/the-spirit-vs-the-flesh.mp3 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 18:09:00 CDT Matt Marino Galatians galatians,chapter_5 1:06 In this second week of epistemology, we take a survey of the history of Western thought. The purpose will be to show how civilization has regressed in its foundational understanding of what reason is and what it does. Realism—the view that sees metaphysical essences such as truth, justice, the laws of logic, and the object as it is in itself as actually existent and knowable realities—has been discarded, particularly in the aftermath of Kant. Consequently, all Western thought since (including all Evangelical thought) has followed this regress in the mind. http://www.thewellboise.com/sermon/is-certainty-bad http://www.thewellboise.com/mediafiles/worldview-session-2-epistemology.mp3 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:19:18 CDT Matt Marino Christian Worldview Class philosophy,logic,epistemology,descartes,lewis,edwards,socrates,plato,aristotle,locke,hume,kant,shaeffer,logic,philosophy,western_thought,history_of_ideas 41:47 http://www.thewellboise.com/sermon/fighting-nasty-for-freedom-and-love- http://www.thewellboise.com/mediafiles/fighting-nasty-for-freedom-and-love.mp3 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:07:21 CDT Matt Marino Galatians galatians,chapter_5 1:11 This first class looking at our philosophical foundations introduces Epistemology, which is the part of philosophy that studies human knowledge and establishes objective standards for knowing whether something is really true or not. We examine the basic laws of logic and apply them to the most basic questions we could ever ask. The upshot of this first class is our Fundamental Principle of Thinking: The rational precedes the empirical, or, put another way, a thing has to be possible before it is actual.
