Get the higher degree. That degree will help you in the long run and you will be less likely to continue with school if you get a job. Many people are not comfortable going back to school after they have worked a while. In the long run, you will be better off.

1. Depending on what you are looking at accreditation 2. About the major that you are interested in. Meet the Dept Head as well as other faculty related to your major. A good Dept Head/Adviser will make or break a program. 3. Cost and financial aid. 4. What graduates do after that get done...

I'm attending SES. I've heard good things about Biola's MA in philosophy program. In fact, JP Moreland has on record that his motivation for the MA in Philosophy program was to train a lot of Christian philosophers to enter the PhD world as well as enter the community colleges and train...

The purpose of college was never to get a good job. Unfortunately, that is a hang up of pragmatic philosophy. The purpose of the university was to study truth in areas of life. Creationism may be something to study, but it is a narrow subject. Again, go study something that relates to creation...

Instead of looking at just creation science look at science in and of itself and look for areas that would demonstrate creation or design or whatever your motif may be.

Working on my MA in philosophy right now. Don't know what that does for someone though. ;)

Are we talking Koine Greek, Modern Greek or Classical Greek?

Maynard, You must feel that you can use logic to convince me not to use those arguments. Would you like to give a reason why your logic use to persuade me not to use logic is superior? Or perhaps you just feel that is a personal opinion, but if that's the case, why should I believe you.

I'm probably too analytical to practice this. However, I get a great sense of worship in my studies. In fact, I've never experienced a greater sense of worship than that of study. Going to a singing worship service is not nearly as great as studying, God's Word and God's Creation.

And why should I allow the hype of Rick Warren's Purpose driven church concept to determine my choice of college? ;) I don't mean any offense here, but sometimes the hype of popular Christianity doesn't always equate to a great education.

Just because a school is traditional doesn't necessarily mean that it is bad. Perhaps you are a product of the modern culture that tradition church/school/religion/etc is not cool/hip/trendy. I personally think there is a great value to traditional education, even if it doesn't meet in a...

Wheaton is a good school. I would have considered going there but I had too much other stuff going on. I'm currently attending Southern Evangelical Seminary for my MA in philosophy and love it. They have one of the best apologetic programs in the nation, if he is leaning towards that...

It takes lots of motivation.

I use wordless books to teach salvation, you could probably google that. It is easy and works well for kids of all ages. It was also taught to me VERY early on, so I've been doing it for a while. I do notice that most kids in our Children's Ministry have no clue what it takes to be saved. Many...

Our church is a little bit different. We do a children's Sunday school during the church service. When I think of Children's Church, I think of a separate service for kids. Our classes, are for ages 2 years old - 6th grade. The kids get checked it before church and checked out after church is...

Two response that I think are valid. 1. This is a meaningless question. You are asking an immaterial thing to pickup a material thing. It cannot happen. It's not unlike asking what the color blue smells like. 2. Second of all, God is limited by logic. This answer is something that many...

You are presenting the single greatest cause for doubt of the Christian faith. Why would an all good God allow such pain and suffering, especially if he has the ability to do so. This is most difficult for Christians, because it is a very personal thing. So often it hurts us to watch others...

Awesome. I'm also looking forward to a day when I can get a class by Habermas in at SES.

livingone, Although, I read your posts and think humorously about them. You contradict yourself too much. Forgiveness implies there was a wrong act against God. A wrong act against God is sin. Cursing God is is a wrong act. Therefore cursing God is a sin. That's two contradictions I've...

You know that's a decision you don't have to make now. Continue doing what you are doing. If God opens the door great, if don't worry. Although, the one recommendation I could give is finish your MATS degree. Once you start something, I think we need to be faithful to finish it. Especially when...
