The Dilemma of the Sin of Omission

Last updated on: October 9, 2018 at 9:25 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

We all know that sin is bad. It’s difficult to keep from bad sin, but sin is also refusing to do good, or the sin of omission. What is a common problem in our day that makes us vulnerable? This is part of a preaching series.[1] However, on a personal note, my wife and I are both involved in this particular post. The picture is from a contemplative moment after my last chapel as a graduate student at Asbury Theological Seminary... Read more

On Holism, Holiness, and Wholeness

Last updated on: October 4, 2018 at 4:27 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Have you ever wondered about what the Bible says about humanity? What did God create man to be? In what ways did The Fall affect us? Did our Lord restore some sort of wholeness that we had lost? These questions were at the core of a seminary project I undertook. I found I was not alone in my curiosity. Many scholars were chasing these questions, including those in the social science fields.[1] i. Adam: Wholeness Likeness And God said, Let... Read more

If We’re Not Bad, We’re Good . . . Right?

Last updated on: October 4, 2018 at 3:52 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

What does it take to be bad? We need to tune in to what Scripture says on the topic, or we may be surprised. Worse yet, we may be participating in sin ourselves. This is the second in a series on sin, a fairly unpopular topic.[1] We all sin, but if we’re not careful, we can turn aside to a sinful lifestyle i. If we’re not bad, we’re good . . . Right? So we all know what sin is,... Read more

Toward a Biblical Concept of Personality

Last updated on: October 4, 2018 at 11:31 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

i. Forward For quite some time, I’ve been considering what topics or themes to chase on this blog. This is a paper on the concept of personality that seems to be pressing its way forward from the back burner, probably for no apparent reason. As someone who has been a preacher, teacher, and writer for many years, I’ve learned to yield to such unctions. Most often, the more I try to seek another option, the more I realize I’m fighting...

Paradox of Sin in 1 John

Last updated on: October 4, 2018 at 3:34 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

i. Let’s Begin with a Paradox A paradox is like a conundrum or something that can’t be explained. What I’m going to start with are two baffling verses in the same book. 1 John 3.9 (NRSV): Those who have been born of God do not sin, because God’s seed abides in them; they cannot sin, because they have been born of God. 1 John 1.8: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in...

Jared & Mateo: The Undragoning of Eustace (a/v)

Last updated on: September 22, 2018 at 5:55 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Mateo shares the deeper meaning behind a favorite scene from the Chronicles of Narnia, the undragoning of Eustace. This is our 2nd video together. Take a moment to watch how Aslan’s story affected Mateo’s faith in: Jared & Mateo: Hearing the Story for the 1st Time.

Vernell Ingle reflects on the works of C.S. Lewis, pt. 6

Last updated on: September 18, 2018 at 5:21 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

I have certainly been impressed with my Dad’s (Rev. Vernell Ingle’s) knowledge of C.S. Lewis, and his vocal dramatizations when reading. However, to be honest, when I saw that he had read 13 books prior to this paper, I began to understand his unique ability to speak about Lewis and his faith in Jesus Christ. Because he was preparing for this paper, he reread 2 of the books and read another 3. I am honored that he would share this... Read more

Jared & Mateo: Hearing the Story for the 1st Time (a/v)

Last updated on: September 16, 2018 at 10:54 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

We’re in the middle of a series on C.S. Lewis, who wrote extensively.[1] However, in the grand scheme of things we must remember that some will only know him as the writer who created Narnia and its characters, such as Aslan. In this a/v post and the next, I’ll have the opportunity to share the story with my oldest son Mateo. His personal connections with Narnia center on a couple of stories of Aslan.

Last updated on: September 11, 2018 at 8:25 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Now we turn our attention to the centerpiece of the Narnia series, The Stone Table. We’re continuing this unique series on C.S. Lewis, birthed out of some seminary research by Rev. Vernell Ingle, Faculty Chair at Messenger College. Most importantly, he has read C.S. Lewis books to us children and his grandchildren over the years, truly making them part of our tribal spiritual formation, if you will. Each week, we’re offering a writing and some type of audio/visual piece that... Read more

Language Acquisition (a/v): LEWIS, TOLKIEN, & PIAGET(?)

Last updated on: September 5, 2018 at 4:40 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

We’re right in the middle of the series on C.S. Lewis.[1] Instead of posting an audio podcast, I thought I would speculate a little bit about Lewis and psychology, specifically language acquisition. I’ll start with child development theory because apparently Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien both studied how to approach writings for children. In fact, they both took a hit and received a little criticism for writing children’s books like The Hobbit and the Chronicles of Narnia.[2] However, they were a success. They... Read more
