What I want is what I want... And it will cost us our prayer life. People who pray selfishly tend to have one thing in common: they are not in the fellowship of the church and they are not in the word of God; except selfishly... (another podcast another day...)

God won't answer me anyway... It's easy to do, but in this type of attitude, the Scriptures suggest that we should not expect anything from the Lord. So, let's pay attention to this type of unbelief.

Please pray for me!!! That request is often replied with, 'What's happening? Tell me what's going on! Now, good intentions could be at the root of this response, but if we are not careful, we can give way to gossip, hurt and hindrance to our prayers.

Christ WILL SAVE HIS SHEEP! While it isn't popular, it is the truth. Jesus will save His sheep and NONE of them will be lost. So, when we share the faith we trust in the work of Christ alone and we can rest in the assurance that the Gospel given through the Word is life for all it is intended. We can sleep well at night knowing that when someone rejects the gospel that they are rejecting Christ an...

God declares and God prepares! We don't have to feel the pressure of GETTING the answers to every unbeliever in order for them to be saved. God saves divinely through the hearing of the Word (Rom 10:17), and by the Spirit who is the Word of Life (John 6). We proclaim and God does the saving supernaturally. Tomorrow we'll show this same truth relating to Jesus, God the Son! Go listen to our weekly...

My Buddy is not Evangelism! As we've seen already, the Scripture is the source of Life through Jesus Christ, so, in order to share this powerful truth with others some have been taught they need to "work" into a friendship Spiritual things. If your everyday life is not expounding the truth of Christ there is something very wrong; you are either out of fellowship with the local assembly, your pasto...

You have the words of Eternal Life! The truth of the gospel and its POWER is found in the Scripture. It will feel as though the remainder of this week is redundant, but it is intentional in order to drive home the reality that the word is life and from the Word, we are taught!

Learn the Word of God! If you need food and I don't have any food there is nothing I can do to help you eat. The same is true if we desire for God to use our mouths to bring His sheep to faith. If we are not learning the Scripture, we are not being prepared to have proper evangelism in our lives. Outlines, acrostics, pneumonic devices, "roads", examples, apologetics, evidence etc. cannot bring ONE...

All Talents are for the Church! Mutual benefit, encouragement, upbuilding etc. is the purpose of all the gifts that the Lord has given us. We are not our own, but we have been bought with a price. In our current culture, the trends toward evangelism have spiraled out of biblical norms. We have independent teachers and self-gloried preachers who feel they are called to "do what the church is not" a...

Because It Matters! Sometimes in our conversations with people about truth, they will come to the point of saying, "Does doctrine really matter? Is theology necessary? Can't we just have Jesus? While this sounds nice, it is foolish. First, because it ignores the meaning of those terms: doctrine means teaching and theology is the learning of God. Both are given in every breath of scripture! Go list...

You Devil You! Look at this tree in my eye! Your dusty specs are truly a problem. Dealing with sin is hard enough in our own lives, but what to do when we have to address it in each other? Why is it so hard? What does the bible say? I'm not talking about someone sinning against another, but when we sin wilful or habitual sin in the lives of our siblings in Christ. How do we approach that? Go liste...

Jesus Loves Me, This I Know! FOR THE BIBLE Tells me so.  How is that? God shows his love for us in this, that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  We've butchered the true meaning of the Love of God. The Bible teaches us exactly how God loves and we would do well to correct any other notion. Go listen to our weekly hour-long podcast "Theology Answers" that can be found over at "Theolo...

Put that snake down! It will bite you if you aren't careful. Of course, we would not desire our children or loved ones to play with venomous snakes. How much more so should we consider warning them of false teachers that we find on their coffee tables or televisions? Let's consider a few thoughts related to how to confront others biblically when dealing with this type of confrontation. Go listen t...

You're Off the hook! Sometimes we fear forgiving others because we don't want to be hurt anymore.

Prayer is Tough! And it's one of those battles we fight every single day. The truth is that we can pray because we are AT ONE with God because of Jesus Christ. Gladly, even when we find ourselves unable to pray we can trust that God the Spirit will pray for us, prompt us to pray and endeavor the journey for us.  Rest well and as always, we're here to discuss with you the truth of the Gospel. Go li...

The bible is ours to understand! We finally kicked off the half-hour podcast! Today we will start with some foundations on biblical interpretation and why it's important. Next week we will show how proper study and interpretation keeps us from error and allows us to be a "Berean" in the midst of a heretical world. Join us over at TheologyAnswers.com for our weekly podcast on Scriptural questions a...

Jesus Loves Me This I Know! Because the bible does tell us so! The truth is that God, being immutable and eternal, has loved you eternally. That is if you are a believing one. His love for your purchased you through the death of His Son Jesus the Christ and there is no fear of wrath because He has rescued you by His everlasting love.  Rest well and as always, we're here to discuss with you the tru...

Behold the Lamb! The only son of God is the lamb through which God is satisfied in His justice!

This short podcast will remind us of the reality of God's provision in Jesus His Son!  Rest well and as always, we're here to discuss with you the truth of the Gospel. Go liste...

Trusting in the Provision of the Lord! God told Abraham to sacrifice his only son on the altar. God provided the grace for Abraham's obedience. God granted the faith so Abraham would trust God. God provided the escape and most of all, God provided the true lamb, Jesus Christ, His One and Only Son!  Rest well and as always, we're here to discuss with you the truth of the Gospel. Go listen to our we...

And then some! We should strive to be precise, clear and accurate in our words. Without which we can cause all sorts of frustration and division. Just this week I've made accurate statements in that they were all very true, but in their precision, they were lacking. So, many people assumed many things, and in the end, even some people got nasty.  Rest well and as always, we're here to discuss with...
