Christianity Now Narrations

The thoughts from which this episode comes are from a conversation I had with a guest on the Chritianity Now podcase. In this episode we will look at a section of Paul's writing where he juxtaposes law and grace. We will also talk about what it takes to commit sin and to be under the law vs amenable to it.   #churchofchrist #reformedtheology #calvinism    If you want to support the show with a one...

This is a follow up from yesterday's episode about mechanical instruments of music offered to God in relation to psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. The question was a thought experiment that is designed to hang one on the horns of a dillema, since the command to greet one another with a holy kiss is specific then why do we not obey it today yet we draw a line of fellowship when it comes to mechan...

A friend of mine posted three posts about this subject posing some questions. They are good questions and are asked honestly. Sadly when folk ask questions like this they are usually labeled certain pejoratives. Many also say, this matter was settleted years ago, implying that we shold not be questioning it now. Well, I do not know about you but I do not blindly follow anyone including God, Himsel...

I have read the lyrics of this controverisal song by Jason Aldean. It absolutly is the height of foolishness to say it is promoting lynching. It is also hyper-racist and bigoted against black Americans to say that as well. All that aside, which we will discuss a litttle, is violence against a Christian answerable by violence and also right in the eyes of God? This is the crux of the matter for our...

One of the more interesting phrases in the Bible is "casting pearls before swine." In this episode I share some of my thoughts on the phrase from the perspective of Paul when he was being tried before the Jewish council recorded in Acts chapter 23. I hope I edify, inform, and encourage you with my thoughs on t his matter.     If you want to support the show with a one time donation, go to www.buym...

It is an easily discerned fact from the Bible that the truth, no matter how suppressed, will out. Even if it seems as if the whole world has lots its mind, the truth will reassert itself and establish dominance. It can not help but to do so as all truth is God's truth. In this epiosde we talk about some of the delusion from which folk seem to suffer and we will look at some Scriptrue along with so...

So often the Bible gets misinterpreted because of good honest folk surface reading and drawing conclusions out of context. In this episode we will look at the chapter of the Bible that deals with inspiration and notice one of the dangerous misconceptions that comes from a misinterpretation of it.   If you want to support the show with a one time donation, go to www.buymeacoffee.com/christianitynow...

Today's episode is a question of ethics and morality. What is artificial insemination and is it sinful? I believe the Bible has somewhat to say on the matter and you may be surprised. Here are the articles I referenced in the show: https://www.mnpsych.org/index.php%3Foption%3Dcom_dailyplanetblog%26view%3Dentry%26category%3Dindustry%2520news%26id%3D54 https://canadiancrc.com/Fatherlessness/Fatherle...

This episode is from an observation I made based on the objections I got from a post on the Christianity Now Facebook page. It is evident we need to make sure we teach what the first and great command is.

This episode is a solo as Aaron is down in Alabama visiting folk. This week I am going to use a listener question to talk about something that I have been thinking about for awhile. It seems that the buld of the labor falls to a very small portion of the people. I hope you will be encouraged by the episode and my thoughts on the subject.   Here is the article I read for the episode: https://darius...

It seems that the retort to any and all preaching of the gospel on a wide scale thta effectivly convits of sin is the accusaion of the convicted against the proclaimer, you are juidgmental. Followed closly by, you are nothing but a legalist. I'm not sure how much we will talk about the legalism accuastion in this episode, but we are definitly going to discuss the accusation of being judgmental.  ...

If all we focous on is the negative then we will be negative tend to travel toward the negative. It is so easy in these modern times to get overwhelmed with the opposition ot God from the world and forget that through faith we are more than conquerors. I hope to enourage you today and to remind us all that the battle belongs to the Lord.     If you want to support the show with a one time donation...

Is it good to use the Old Testamen Scriptures to convict people of sin? I think about this often but lately I have seen some things online that make me want to do another episode of Cogitations about it.

This is a follow up to the episode about God's second law of pardon. The same listener had a question about when a sin is forgiven once commited after one became a Christian. I really enjoy this topic and I feel that it is much needed as there are so many out there who are pesimistic about thier salvation. I pray I say someing that cives you assurance in your eternal reward.   If you want to suppo...

I still remember the first time I heard the word, obtuse. I thought it was interesing and it especially piqued my curiousity as I could not ascertain the meaning of it through the context clues of the converstion in wich I heard it. Looking it up I found it meant "annoyingly insensitive or slow to understand: not able to think clearly or to understand what is obvions or simple." In this episode we...
