Vernell Ingle reflects on the works of C.S. Lewis, pt. 4

Last updated on: September 1, 2018 at 5:44 pm   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

First of all, we’re in a series on the works of C.S. Lewis.  So catch up![1]  Secondly, in this portion of the series, Vernell Ingle explores postmodernism as forecasted by C.S. Lewis. Actually, postmodernism grew out of French Philosophy in the late 1800’s, however it seems like Lewis captures and predicts its early effects on society. Natural versus Supernatural (continued) One point that Lewis made about miracles was that the miracles recorded in Scripture, and miracles that take place today,... Read more

On the Supernatural as the Natural Life (a/v)

Last updated on: August 29, 2018 at 10:42 am   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

We’re running a parallel track in these videos with the C.S. Lewis series.  He’s is talking about the supernatural versus the natural at this particular point in the writings. Lewis also talks about a proof for miracles.  He goes into the depths of philosophy.  I certainly can’t do all of that.  However, I do try to take us back to the Early Church, not just the book of Acts, but also a couple of hundred years after Acts.  I’ll show... Read more

We continue our series on C.S. Lewis by Prof. Vernell Ingle, Faculty Chair at Messenger College (and Dad).[1] This is part of some seminary research Vernell did on key works of C.S. Lewis. This particular post focuses on his salvation experience and on his first Christian philosophical work Miracles: A Preliminary Study. Search for Joy (continued) Christianity offered no doors of escape. The externals of Christianity did not appeal to him [C.S. Lewis]. The reason being that he admitted to possessing... Read more

A Distinction in Ancient Literature (a/v)

Last updated on: August 28, 2018 at 6:05 pm   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

I’m going to share a little bit about the history in the Gospels.  We’re right in the middle of a writing series on C.S. Lewis.[1]  One of the things that brought C.S. Lewis around from being an atheist was understanding the Bible is really good history, not just good mythology.  He understood ancient myths, but when he looked at the Bible historically, it was one of the factors that changed his life. So as you read or listen to this... Read more

Last updated on: August 28, 2018 at 6:09 pm   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Once again, we enter into the realm of C.S. Lewis, as Vernell Ingle (Dad) reflects on his works.  He read the Chronicles of Narnia out loud to my siblings and I when we were young.  Furthermore, he developed voices for each character, a dizzying talent.  So his readings were fascinating.  As a grandpa, he now carries on the tradition with his grandchildren. This is the third in a series about C.S. Lewis First of all, I wrote a couple weeks... Read more

SU-18 Pigeon Forge: The Commission and Family (a/v)

Last updated on: August 14, 2018 at 7:59 pm   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

This is a shorter post on the recent working vacation with the commission at Pigeon Forge.  The media may just speak for itself. I am not a world traveler However, I am thankful for the 3D experience on iMaps, so I can at least virtually explore large metros around the globe. That being said, it naturally follows that I have neither explored ancient Near Eastern sites nor the Holy Land, unless . . . you’re among the segment of the... Read more

Last updated on: August 28, 2018 at 6:12 pm   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Early on, while writing for Patheos, I decided to highlight some great works from some of my acquaintances at times.  I’ve enjoyed working with my Dad, Vernell Ingle, to offer the Reformation pieces over the last couple weeks. JVI: Reformation 500th Anniversary: Ideals of the Magisterial Reformers VI: Reformation 500th Anniversary: Prof. Vernell Ingle shares Martin Luther’s Narrative (a/v) Last week, in my writing, I offered a fun glimpse into a presentation by Thomas Woodward, the President of the C.S.... Read more

Reformation 500th Anniversary: Prof. Vernell Ingle shares Martin Luther’s narrative (a/v)

Last updated on: August 7, 2018 at 12:41 pm   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

I’ve grown up hearing, across our nation, that our guest this week is a favorite preacher of many, including seasoned ministers and great men of God. It’s my honor to collaborate with Professor Vernell Ingle (Dad and Faculty Chair) and Fiona Parker (V.P. for Student Development).  We have an opportunity to re-share one of his evergreen teachings . . . although he always “preaches” through Church History at Messenger College (MC).

Reformation 500th Anniversary: Ideals of the Magisterial Reformers (a/v)

Last updated on: August 29, 2018 at 10:44 am   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Last October was the beginning of the celebration of the Reformation 500th Anniversary.  On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nails ​the 95 Thesesto the Wittenberg Church door.  It’s the common practice to nail a topic to the Church door for discussion. Peers read posts and start dialogues, but Luther’s post changes history Bear in mind, we can’t understand the Reformation without history before and after.  We usually think of Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli – theMagisterial Reformers.  But it’s a reformation... Read more

Aslan Acrostic: Dr. Thomas Woodward shares the story of C.S. Lewis

Last updated on: April 24, 2019 at 7:56 pm   By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

On April 10, 2017, I strolled into a large venue with my two older sons Mateo and Cruz.  Before even seeing that there were between 250 – 300 people getting seated, we were met with loud chatter.  There were various refreshments.  I enjoyed a good cup of coffee and we settled in for the talk, with my tablet ready for notes. My family had discovered that Ratio Christi Ministries, in cooperation with Northwestern Michigan College, was hosting a talk by Dr.... Read more
