PODCAST

We have become too dependent on pastors, internet teachers, and publiciations in the Christian life. The problem we have is that many times our easy teaching is not based on sound preaching. Rather than believing what you see as truth, be like the Bereans and search the Scriptures for yourself.

Genesis 1:26
Acts 17:10-11

We are commanded to have faith, but will Christ find faith when He comes back? What does real faith look like and how will our faith be manifest at the end times. Today we talk about these things.

Luke 18:8-12
Hebrews 11:1
2 Chronicles 16:1-6
2 Chronicles 16:7-10

We are all told to be tolerant. What does that mean, and why are people branded (intolerantly) for disagreeing with the common narrative. Today we want to talk about tolerance in the church, what it means, and how we should live out our faith in society.

Romans 12:18-21
Romans 1:32

As we see the police state in Canada arrest more pastors, we are now starting to see some good news out of California. There have been several CA churches that have been fighting restrictions, and the courts are now starting to rule on these cases. What could the good news be? Have a listen to hear more.

Death is a part of life, and many people have realized that over the years. But our present society has an irrational fear of death. Part of the Christian life is a recognition of the mortality of man, and the eternity of our souls. Here is why this is important.

1 Corinthians 15:54-58
Psalm 37:4

In a world where pastors are being arrested for holding church services and new laws make traditional Christian values illegal, when is the time to start disobeying? Today we will look at some comments from Erwin Lutzer on his newsletter from a few weeks back.

Today we will talk about the emerging underground church in the West as the laws in our nation becoming more hostile to the true teachings found in the Bible. As the laws shift against the Scriptures, the true Christians will stand up and preach. We will be forced underground.

Revelation 2:8-11

We are in a world where people don't do the hard work of learning from themselves, but that is exactly what we are called by the scriptures to do. We need to watch our influences and learn what it really means to follow the Word.
Matthew 7:1

Formerly free nations are now turning into police states. Our northern neighbors have lost basic freedoms and a church is under direct attack. Ultimately, this plan is against the Gospel, and today we will look at what is happening at Gracelife Church and how it relates to what happened in Egypt under Joseph's administration.

Genesis 47:13-19

Today we want to look at Judges and a parallel to faith in America today. Everyone does what is right in their own eyes, but that is contrary to how we are called to walk in faith. This reading looks at how the time of the judges was much like our country now, and that means judgment may be right around the corner.

Judges 17:6
Judges 17:1-13

Should we worry about secular controversies and forget it all to only preach Jesus? There are a few good approaches to this question, and I think it is a gray area decision. Here are two approaches and what they mean.

Should we go out to raise a revolution for Christ, or are we to live quietly while doing the next best thing? This video asks if Jesus was a wild revolutionary as some people suggest, or what He being as quiet as possible?

Matthew 12:20
Daniel 1:8

Today we talk about what faith is. What is real faith and how does it work? Are we living our life in faith or by the ways of the world?

John 5:2-8
Matthew 17:19-21

What did Jesus mean when He said that no one knows the hour or the day? Today we examine this section of Scripture and what it means.

Matthew 24:42-51
Matthew 24:1-14

Unity is called for by many, but most do not understand it. Today we will talk about unity, segregation, and what the Bible says about being unified in Christ.

Galatians 3:23-29
Ephesians 5:11-13

Our world has become zealous for a false gospel. This is not only present in the church, but it is also present in the secular world where we are banning syrup because of the black logo, Dr. Seuss, and even Mr. Potato Head. This is because the whole world thinks they are most justified in their own eyes. Let me instead press on with the real Gospel.

Romans 6:1-2
Genesis 1:26

Our world is far from God right now. When we take our focus off of God, we start seeing the problems and fears in the world. We need to forget about the world and refocus back on God so He will see our faith. This is the solution restoring faith in God.

James 4:1-6

Sometimes life is complicated. This message looks at a few cases where people lied and were still called blessed. How do we navigate the complexities in life with an upright heart? Here I discuss my thoughts.

Joshua 2:3-6
Exodus 1:20
Matthew 12:1-7
Matthew 12:10-12

'Pharisee' is an insult thrown at people who take the Word of God seriously. Today we will look from the Scripture and some other resources to ask and answer what is a pharisee in the light of my critique on The Art of Neighboring.

Matthew 23:1-4
Matthew 23:34-36

The church has many great debates about theology and service, and here I want to talk about common goals and purpose, and the importance of service. Theology is important, and there is a place to debate it, but service is also a mark of salvation. This video is not an easy, straight process.

Jude 1:3-4
Jude 1:5-6
Jude 1:11-13
