Awaiting Christ

Last week, we talked about when humans try to apply their flawed interpretation of righteousness and what it would take to earn your salvation in of yourself (which is impossible btw).  This week, we'll talk about how the apostle Paul juxtaposes our view of righteousness and what it looks like to God.  Then Paul tells us how God applies it to us.

Today we'll go over Romans 2:1-11 whereby Paul condemns hypocritical judgment. Also what it would take if you wanted to earn your way to heaven apart from Jesus Christ.

Many have rejected Israel because they think God has. Others still believe in something called Replacement Theology. I'm going to address those concerns in today's tidbit.

You've heard it before, "Sow your financial seed today and Gawd will bless you!" I'm going to address to misconception of today's concept of "tithing" and correctly spell out what we should do as believers under the New Covenant. This is my blog post I addressed in the podcast: https://intensetheology.wordpress.com/2016/02/18/tithing-is-it-a-gift-or-a-duty/

I'll talk to you today in very brief and layman's terms, how we got the Bible we have today.  Especially when it comes to the New Testament.

Today, we'll talk about verses 18-32 in Romans chapter 1.  This is where the apostle Paul tells us the bad news about our condition.  This is something universal about all persons, in all cultures, in all times.  It's a heavy topic, so let's get into it.

As Easter approaches, many pastors and priests will ask if you're "preparing your heart for Easter."  How should we view this holiday both as believers and non-believers in Jesus Christ?

The book of Romans is a remarkably rich book about the basics of Christianity.  Today, we'll do a summary of the first half of chapter one and how the apostle Paul will establish who the letter is written to and what he wants to cover within it.

When many read the Bible, they don't take it literally.  Obviously, the Bible uses allegory and symbolism but it's used to represent something literal and real.  I want to talk about this concept today and how I'd like to encourage you to start looking at the Bible and especially Bible prophecy literally.

I'll be starting a new series on Monday, March 29th entitled Eternal Life 101. We'll be going through all 16 chapters of the book of Romans. This is a "meaty" book that is fantastic for the basics of Christianity.

Is the United States of America within Bible Prophecy and the end times scenario?  We'll talk about that is this special tidbit.

Last week we talked about the battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  But, what happens next?  We'll talk about that today. 

Many say that you must speak in tongues in order to show that you have been filled with the Holy Spirit.  Is this true?  We'll go over this today.

Armageddon stirs the imagination. There's a movie named after this event. Many think "Armageddon" is a word for the end of the world. Well, we'll clear up that misconception today and talk about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ as well.

Have you ever called someone a name while driving down the highway for whatever reason? Well, we'll talk about that today and I'll turn the microscope on myself as well.

These are the last in the series of three judgments God will pour out on the Earth one day. They're called The Bowl Judgments where the wrath of God will be complete.

Should you ever drink alcohol or smoke marijuana as a Christian? Check out today's podcast. The answer may surprise you.

The 2021 Equality Act has passed the United States House of Representatives. It now heads to the United States Senate where United States President Biden has pledged to sign the bill into law should it pass the Senate. What does it mean for faith based organizations? I'll give you my thoughts in this episode.

We'll talk about the second out of three series of judgments that will literally come upon the Earth one day. If the signs of the times are any indicator, likely it will much sooner rather than later.  Please listen all the way through, your eternal life depends on it.

You may wonder why God punishes those who don't want to believe in Him? Is it unjust? Is it too severe? We'll talk about that today.

This week, we'll talk about the first series of judgments that God unleashes on the Earth during the Tribulation.

One of the biggest questions many Christians ask is how they can determine God's will for their lives.  I'll let you know one way today.

You've heard of him before.  The antichrist, the beast, the lawless one, the son of perdition and the little horn uttering blasphemies.  He is also the one who causes all, great and small, to take the mark of the beast (or 666) in order to buy or sell during the Tribulation.  No one knows who he is but we know what he is and that's what we'll talk about today.

At what point do we allow various non-essential doctrinal issues in the Church divide us...if ever? I'll go over that in this brief tidbit today.
