Deuteronomy ^NEW
Ongoing study started in January 2010

Before he passed off the scene, Israel’s human founder Moses wanted every Israelite to understand the relationship between God and their special nation. This long series expounds what we moderns refer to as “social justice” not from a Marxist, Muslim, Socialist, or Libertarian perspective but from the perspective of God as He “interfered” with ancient near eastern culture of the 15th century BC. Divine revelation touched every aspect of social life including crime control, economics, education, family welfare, foreign relations, labor management, public health, and taxation. One can trace the profound effect of Moses’ sermons upon common law and political concepts throughout subsequent history. But the core message centers on the prerequisite of a just society: the heart that freely expresses its ultimate allegiance to God. When faced with Satan’s temptations Jesus relied upon key passages in Deuteronomy. So will we if we are wise.

Faith Rest Drill
3 Audio Lessons taught at West Houston Bible Church, TX, January 2006

Eschatology is a view of the future. Without it, there can be no hope and endurance for the conflicts of life. So everyone has an eschatology of some sort. But only the Bible presents an objective, historical hope. Two popular pseudo-eschatologies--Marxism and Global Environmentalism--are contrasted with the true eschatology grounded upon divine "contracts" of the Bible.

Global Warming
1 Audio Lesson taught at Liberty University, April 2008

Since World War 2 when governments took control of major scientific efforts, there has been an increasing cleavage between managers of major science laboratories and the scientists at the "worker-bee" level. Nowhere is this movement more obvious than in the alleged "consensus" concerning the cause of Global Warming. Charlie has spent over 40 years working in atmospheric science within the university environment and government departments such as NOAA and the Department of Defense. He here tells some of the "rest of the story"-- aspects of Global Warming well-known among those who work with the atmosphere on a daily basis but suppressed by high-level politicized science-managers and report-writers.

Living the Christian Life
