In Search of a Grand Theory of Everything

His interests range across the whole spectrum of issues that link philosophy and theology.

A few scriptures come to mind. Some are paraphrased, forgive me. Maybe someone can find them.
-If you believe in Me, believe my words. (parphrase)
-Be you not just hearers of the word but doers also. Jam 1:22.
All of James Ch1 I believe is a good read, I think. I like and committed to memmory long ago as my guide for burning questions and/ambiguous answers, Jam 1:5 – If any man lacks wisdom let him ask of God who gives to all men liberally and withholds from none. Especially Jam1:21-27, v27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit(Doer) the Fatherless and widows in their affliction, (and) keep himself unspotted from the world. Is this not the stated mission of TEDxSMU?
-The truth ( that you know, that you do)shall set you free. (parphrased, again the theme of being Doers)
Being Christ and doing the Word can start a discipleship fire to reach the whole earth with the Good News. I like the Song title, Who Will be jesus to Her.
I heard once that there are two reasons people do not know Jesus as Savior. One reason is they don’t know any genuine Christian and the other reason is that they do.
How can I help?
