Truth At All Costs

Is it a political opinion to say DOGE is what the Bible calls good stewardship or is it a simple statement of truth? I made the statement on St. Mark's church sign and posted the pic on X where it was not received well by some, including Rev. Hans Fiene of The Lutheran Satire channel. In this episode of Truth at All Costs I let the Bible speak for itself, make the case that this debate is furt...

Melchizedek is a mysterious figure mentioned in only three places in the Bible. Who was he? Some say a pre-incarnate Jesus. Others claim he was an angel. And still others think he must have been Shem. Let's look at the texts and what the church has traditionally thought about this king of righteousness.

I used God's Word in at least three different ways as a pastor this past month: public preaching, deathbed comfort, and for correction of the erring. Which one do you think was NOT well received? We must always remember that Scripture is for correction.

Joe Rogan asked Mel Gibson for logical reasons for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Was Gibson's personal experience a good place to start? It's what St. Polycarp did. In this episode of the Truth at All Costs we look at 1 Peter 3:15 in context to understand that apologetics isn't a field of study, but what every Christian does no matter his age or education.

The word ambition is used to translate two different words in the Greek New Testament: φιλοτιμέομαι and ἐριθεία. One is ambition for neighbor's sake while the other is selfish ambition. Let's study the words to mature in our Christian living. Connect with me: Instagram - https://instagram.com/tyrelbramwell X - https://x.com/tyrelbramwell Email – https://tyrelbramwell.com/contact

βρέφος is the Greek word translated as baby or infant. The study of this word is enlightening. It’s used for babies born and babies not yet born. Whether inside or outside of the womb, in Greek, a baby is a baby. Christians oppose abortion because murdering babies is sinful.

The world hates the truth. Thankfully, Christians don’t. This episode of Truth at All Costs is all about the truth. Namely, how it corresponds with reality. It’s the last episode of the Church Year and of season 1. Caution, if you ebb and flow according to cultural opinion, this show is not for you. But if truth trumps everything else in your life. If upholding truth, standing on it, and being sav...

Does God hate our hands because we use them to break the fifth commandment? Do we use our freedom as a cover for evil? I went to Main Street in Ferndale to ask Californians if they think God hates our hands because of what we do to unborn babies.

Just before Jesus delivers the beatitudes, St. Matthew says, “he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them.” (Matt. 5:1-2) In this episode we sit at the feet of Martin Luther to learn what this introductory description means for pastors, which is going to show us that they, like you, should never be afraid to bite the fox. It’...

Are you engaged in local politics? That’s where the most damage is being done and that’s where the biggest wins can be made for the good. It’s most certainly where the Christian lives out his vocations every single day. In today’s episode of Truth at All Costs we’re looking at a local political issue that made national news when a Catholic-owned hospital refused to murder an unborn baby. We’ll als...

Am I guilty of electioneering? That's what Ferndale's left would like to say. Can pastors speak for or against political candidates? Can they have political signs in their yards and even talk about them in their podcasts? Let's find out in episode 34 of the Truth at All Costs.

Should Christians vote for an idiot? That word has an actual definition. We'll look at it as we find our answer. Scripture, obviously has something to say, and we'll also listen to the wisdom of Martin Luther while looking at a specific example of a man who wants my neighbors and I to vote for him. But is he mentally capable to be a public person? Is he capable of ordinary reasoning? Let's find ou...

We take a lot of our behavior for granted. We assume the way we do things is the way they’ve always been done. But maybe there was a better way. Maybe our ancestors had a better way and if we returned to them, we could actually see positive results in our world. Think about this with me today as we listen to the pastoral guidance regarding dating and marriage from a hundred years ago. Let’s see wh...

Jesus went to hell! It's true. It's not a figure of speech and He didn't go there in some incorporeal way, but with both body and spirit. Christians confess this every week in the Creed and there are fascinating aspects to this doctrine that we're going to get into in this episode of Truth at All Costs.

In 1951 Rev. William Arndt taught on Armageddon. What he said might shock you. Has the last battle of Armageddon already begun? Likewise, a viewer wants to know how the mark of the beast is already restricting our ability to buy and sell. We explore both of these Revelation topics in this episode of the Truth at All Costs!

What is the tradition of the apostles handed down from one generation to the next? That is, what is the true Christian religion? And what’s up with Christians embracing Yoga? We have a lot of Scripture to get into and some wisdom to glean from Rev. Harold Senkbeil and Mr. Jonas Bramwell.

Can a Christian vote for Trump if he is going to mandate baby-killing IVF? This is the question a viewer sent in. Should we just not vote at all, if we only have sinners on the ballot? And some vague YouTube user thinks I’m an attention-seeking Roman Catholic because I wear a clerical collar, clearly revealing he or she is painfully uneducated about the role of that age-old innovation known as a u...

I was asked about smoking a cigar in relation to working out. If the latter is serving your neighbor, how is smoking? We let Martin Luther teach us the answer as he takes us to Scripture.

A lot of Christians have been led astray by a false teaching that wrongly reads into 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 a secret rapture event, emphasizing this man-made vanishing act as part of a complex coming of Christ that the Bible knows nothing about! These dear people are taught to cling to this fiction instead of to the resurrection of the dead in Jesus Christ, which is the context of 1 Thessalonians...

Tim Walz claims to be a Lutheran. Is he? He’s definitely a part of Revelation 13's sea beast, otherwise known as corrupt government. Let's see if he is actually Lutheran and answer a viewer’s question about Revelation 13:17, showing that the mark of the beast has been with us since the apostles. ____________________ BOOK LINKS "Without the Shedding of Blood" by Rev. Dr. David Sca...

False prophets and false teachings fill the internet just as they were all over the TV and the radio before that. Candace Owens will serve as an object lesson as we dig into why we should avoid listening to internet influencers and YouTubers. We’ll also see how faithful Christians dealt with this very same concern a hundred years ago, and get a great lesson on pistis, the Greek word for faith, fro...

The pagans continue to be pagan. The question is, will Christians continue to be pagan with them? We’re talking about the blasphemy at the Olympics, the Greek god in question, and his notoriety for being mentally disturbed just like his modern rainbow devotees.

Presidential news has been crazy these last couple of weeks. Amid an assassination attempt, a white house coup, and the obvious tyranny ramping up with Kamala Harris as the likely democrat nominee for president we do well to remember that Jesus is in charge. A viewer wants to know if voting for Donald Trump with a clean conscience is possible. Let's answer that question. A Christian Manifesto...

Rev. Jim Roemke is the LCMS pastor who prayed at the Republican National Convention (after a very impressive President Trump impersonation). His participation in this civic event has stirred up questions about the propriety of pastoral participation, especially since Harmeet Dhillon prayed a Sihk prayer immediately after him. Well, you’re in for a treat, because today’s show is my conversation wit...
