The Put Off List of Paul

Using an approach based on the liberty we have in Christ, this lesson challenges what precisely are appropriate entertainment standards for a Christian in context of Paul's ethical lists in Colossians chapter 3. 

If Paul has describing Christians by Who they desire , in this lesson, we see how he describes Christians by who they are. Instead of Paul just saying that we have been given a new set of desires, he makes sure to let us know that we are entirely different in our very essence. We are not who we once were.

Athens or Jerusalem? The Academy or the Church? Christ or Human Philosophy? In this passage, we expound upon and apply Paul's strong warning to be on guard against deficient human philosophy and tradition. Instead, we call all to be faithful to the All Sufficient Wisdom of God, the Logos, the God-man, Jesus Christ. 

As Memorial Day occurred on the our usual meeting day, this lesson was dedicated to assessing the Biblical position regarding war. If war is never morally permissible, how could we celebrate Memorial Day in good conscience? This episode thus argues that war can indeed be justifiable from both historical precedent and the role of the God's institution of government in society. Finally, the episode...
