On this episode of the Ps+ we join Jonathan Kindler one last time to learn about the importance of fortifying our faith over time in preparation for future hardships and grief. 

Since the beginning of the church, Bible believers have discussed the return of Christ. The Apostle Paul admonishes the church in Rome to prepare for the return of Christ in Romans 13:11, “And that, knowing the time, that now [it is] high time to awake out of sleep: for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the...

On this episode of the Ps+ we join Jonathan Kindler in considering how God’s formula of faith produces wisdom that we can impart to others.

Throughout the Old Testament, we find holy men and women who committed themselves to the work of prayer and fasting. People like Moses, King David, Ahab, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and the Jewish people. Fasting was employed as they sought forgiveness from egregious sins that they'd committed or when loved ones needed restoration for health issues, when people needed protection from danger or...

On this episode of the Ps+ we join Jonathan Kindler to discuss the proof of his prescription. We learn how we can worship God for what He has done and what He will continue to do.

In our modern world, technology evolves so rapidly that we often don’t even take notice anymore. Technology is so integrated into our daily lives that it’s rare for us to take notice of it and even harder to be knowledgeable and circumspect about all the ways in which our lives are affected by the subtleties of these advancements. As Bible believing Christians, we should be asking the hard questio...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Jonathan Kindler in discussing how we can put in place and promote God's truth over our own and how we can apply His principles over our self-preservation.

The word "pardon" means to relieve someone of the burden of their legal consequences. In a Christological understanding of this concept, Christ shed his blood and rose from the dead in order to suffer in our stead and relieve us of the consequences of hell (1 Cor. 15:1-4, Ro. 6:23, Ro. 10:9-10, Col. 1:13-14) . In his grace and mercy, he pardoned our sin (Eph. 2:8-9, Ro. 11:6). Now, in some Christi...

In this episode of the Ps+ we learn how to biblically prevent our paralysis. During times of hardship, we are prone to drift into our own ways of coping that over time distort our perspective of ourselves, others, and God—leading us to getting stuck in and hopeless in our pain. It’s imperative for us to learn God’s way of understanding loss and grief so that we can respond rightly to our pain.

This time we look at the last four characteristics the disciple of Christ is called to mature in: patience, godline...

II Peter 1 presents seven things the believer needs to add to their faith in order to mature in Christlike thought, behavior and speech. The promise of Scripture is that if these seven things are applied properly, the believer will grow in fruitfulness, a relationship with Christ now and an abundant entrance into His kingdom in the future (II Peter 1:8-11). Justin Trotter of Callie Harbin Baptist...

In this episode of the Ps+ we study the example of Jonah and learn the importance of petitioning our position to the Lord.

The Living Faith Bible Institute holds to a biblical philosophy of discipleship, which means a form of discipleship that looks like what Jesus offered his disciples, or what Paul offered Timothy and Titus: an up close and personal form of mentorship where a mature minister invests a biblical doctrine, principles and lifestyle into the life of a younger believer. For decades now, the churches in th...

As far as psychology is concerned, anger is perhaps the most complex and least understood human emotion. We know the anger is necessary. It's an emotion that gives us drive, it makes us competitive, and it motivates us to overcome tough situations. We know that anger can also cause turmoil. it can be explosive and cause destruction in our families, our relationships, our workplaces, and even in ou...

It is difficult for the pastor to meet the needs of the church. Pastors can be exceptionally busy with the affairs of the church — staff meetings, counseling, setting the budget; making sure the building is safe, clean and ready; and of course the work of prayer, study, and preaching. But has the church created a culture that unnecessarily differentiates between the leadership of the pulpit and th...
