Today's episode launches a new series on Pillar & Ground with the first "Stories" episode. These episodes are intended to tell the stories of longtime LMPC members as they reflect on their personal histories with LMPC and tell of God's faithfulness in their lives through the people and work of the church.

Keith Michaels, ruling elder and member of the World Missions Committee at LMPC, also joins the conversation. Brian and Keith have made several trips to Central Asia with Paul, to see and partake in the work that LMPC is supporting there. The partnership between Bible Mission Global and LMPC began when Ted Hope made the first visit in August 1992!

Bible Mission Global (BMG)

Exhortations to LMPC from Paul:
1. INFORM yourself about what God is doing in Central Asia -- see the website for information
2. SHARE with others what God is doing in Central Asia
3. PRAY for the work God is doing in Central Asia
4. BE READY to do or to go to assist with God's work in Central Asia -- One practical suggestion is for fathers and sons to go on short mission trips to Central Asia together!

An additional challenge from Gerhard: There is a great need for young people to serve full-time in missions.

Special Guests: Paul, Gerhard, and Keith Michaels

Epistemology is a big word for the theory of knowledge, and is also described as the investigation of what distinguishes justified belief from opinion.

Key points in this discussion include:
~ the importance of Scripture itself being the standard of interpretation of Scripture.
~ the supreme importance of the role of the Holy Spirit.
~ the role of the faithful preaching of the Word as a means of grace and a bias antidote.

~ wisdom
~ humble reliance on the Holy Spirit
~ enabling grace for faithful and fruitful service in their role as shepherds of the congregation
~ protection from sin and the instruments of sin, in their own hearts and in the world around us, especially in the face of cultural pressures that are hostile to faith in Jesus Christ
