Dr. Boa talks about the temporal versus the eternal life and making the most of our time.
Dr. Boa talks about the temporal versus the eternal life and making the most of our time.
Dr. Boa discusses how the mind works, and how we can renew our minds to become the people we were created to be. We can remind ourselves all the time that we were meant for more than this world.
Dr. Boa picks up where he left off last week, looking at the way our brains are wired for communication on two levels. We can be “praying without ceasing” and engaging in the world simultaneously.
Dr. Boa discusses how our brains are wired, and how it seems God has actually prepared us to live in constant conversation with him, while engaging in this world simultaneously. We can live on two levels. God has made our brains to function this way; it just takes training.
Dr. Boa looks at some ancient and modern practices of those who sought life in God’s presence.
Dr. Boa continues his discussion of the work and spiritual habits of two great practitioners of God’s presence: Frank Laubach and Brother Lawrence.
Dr. Boa teaches that the “good life” (by the world’s definitions) will never be enough for us, because we were made for something much better. We can break out of the cages of the world’s way of thinking, living on the level of intimacy with God while also being present with people.
To the world, a Christian worldview seems upside down; but Scripture teaches that it is the world’s way that is really upside down.
Dr. Boa explores some optical illusions and poetry to illustrate how our view of the world can get skewed and how practicing God’s presence can set our vision straight.
