PODCAST

Before we allow a church to speak into our life, we need to evaluate if it is sound. Today we talk about music as a marker for the soundness of the church. If we hear music that is about us, our problems, or making our life better, the focus of the church might be on people rather than God.

Philippians 4:8

Today we will document the further slide into apostasy and look at one popular company that has been producing a lot of shows designed to push the envelope of immoral sexuality.

Our culture is really missing reverence. Things like comedy and parody have their place, but often times we fail to have reverence for God and His Word. Recently, Lifeway gave us a perfect example of how not to handle the Word. In the Gen Z Bible Devo, they tried to make the Bible relevant, but it failed.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
Isaiah 6:2

Today on our Daily Walk, we will talk about people who go to a sound church, but fail to let it impact their life. This is a fundamental part of false worship: listening in, but auditing the faith, not letting it transform you. Let this message from Ezekiel touch your heart.

James 1:23-24
2 Timothy 4:3-4

When we hear the pastor speak, are we accepting everything as Gospel truth or are we being a good Christian and examining the Scripture to see if what the pastor is saying is true? Any good pastor will encourage the congregation to test the Scriptures to see if their preaching is sound. This discussion is an exhortation to do just that.

Acts 17:10-11
1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

Churches are being forced online, but if we had a choice, are we better off meeting online or better off meeting in person? I discuss my thoughts as I experience a church that is open, but a ministry that is not.

Hebrews 10:19-25
James 5:13-18

1 Timothy 3:6
Hosea 6:6
Romans 13:4

Seek the Lord TRULY now. Dedicate yourself to God and live like it to be a Gospel testimony to others around you. Do not be like the Israelites who did what they wanted and then ran to God when the troubles came.

-Hosea 6:1-3
-Hosea 6:4-6
-Isaiah 55:6
-Hebrews 2:2-3

Our world is obsessed with self esteem, but that is contrary to the start of salvation: repentance. We have to embrace sin in our life and call it what it is before we see the need for Christ. Once we see our need for Christ, we can accept His sacrifice.

-James 4:4
-Ephesians 2:10

A long time ago, a movement called Easy-Believism ravaged the church, but today, it is sadly just assumed. This had led to many people being deceived that they are saved when their life shows no evidence of conversion. So what does it mean to be saved? Today we will talk about that.

-Psalm 42:1

Some people love to hand out Bible tracts while others do not like them. In this presentation, we talk about the pros and cons, the mistakes, and the baggage around tracts in general and the chick tracts specifically.

Some people suggest that the King James Version is the only correct Bible translation we have, even suggesting that it is heresy to read other versions. But is that true? On this video, we answer the question that was submitted to the website.

A lot of modern churches talk a lot of 'Loving Jesus', but the messages they teach do not generally align with the teachings found in the Bible. So they all say they love Jesus, but is it love? Or is it just a crush? What is the difference?
