Here's an interview by the Canadian Lutheran Online, as they interviewed Dr. Bennett, with the title,  "The Devil made me do it."  Please check it out!

Video Segments Coming Soon!

Many have asked if I would record or video my presentation on Angel, Demons and Ghosts.  I'm just afraid images might appear on the video so I don't want to freak people out! jk!!!  I might videotape my day presentation at Shepherd of the City, but I will definitely will be doing video segments on my blog more than likely in October sometime.  I have all the equipment now.  So this blog may be a little boring at the moment.  As I have mentioned before, I have been posting on my other blog at ologos.net. This blog is just newer but dedicated to pastoral care and the questions about the metaphysical world from a Christian worldview. So don't give up on this blog as of yet.

I am speaking at Ball State to the Lutheran Fellowship this weekend and the at my congregation October 26.

"Fear of Being Alone"

The devil wishes us to feel as if we are alone or abandoned.  http://ologos.net/?p=656

I will have a more constructive book list with reviews down the road but here is a combination of different book list from other posts:

Enjoying my study of angels but now taking a break and studying the question of ghost

I am not suggesting I believe in the existence of ghost or not, but I can clearly say I am not completely satisfied with the typical, conservative response on this issue.  Stay tune for my Scriptural-historical response to the metaphysical world including the question of the existence of ghost at Higher Things.  Presently I am reading a fascinating book (at least thus far) called, "Ghost in the Middle Ages, The Living and the Dead in Medieval Society" by Jean-Claude Schmitt.  I have about two or three additional books awaiting me after this book on my desk.  -Curate

Higher Things, Christ Academy and National Youth Gathering

I will be at and speaking at two Higher Things events, the one in West Lafayette, IN and the other in Tocoma, WI.  This is my description of my lecture:

Angels and Demons, the Christian struggle and temptation

In a secular-thinking world, what should you make of the spiritual world of angels and demons? How does this impact your life as a Christian? After calling the disciples, the first thing our Lord does in Mark’s Gospel is an exorcism! And each day we pray, "Deliver us from (the) evil (one)." We will hear about angels and demons—and about how interpret this spiritual world as Christians.

For those who have heard my lecture before, it will partly be the same but also different.  I may address the wider metaphysical world such as if Lutherans should believe in the existence of ghosts and will hopefully give time for questions if at all possible.  I will definitely be available outside of the lectures for conversation.

I will also be at the National Youth Gathering as well.  So look me up if you are going to one of these events.  It would be great to see you. Not that I am trying to advertise, but I have done Bible studies in this area for small group devotions for youth groups at the gatherings.  Since I am not a professor (though I have taught college courses and the like), it is good for me to hear questions and feed back on this subject.

I will also be teaching on this subject at this summer's Christ Academy!  If you are eligible, it's not too late to sign up!!!

Peace in Christ,
