Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: Intro - 0:00 1. 1:05 {Our Reign With Christ & Purpose of Authority in Eternity} What does it mean that we will reign with Christ in Heaven? What use will there be for any kind of authority in a sinless universe where our righteousness and wisdom are perfect? 2. 9:54 {Study Resource Recommendations} Are there any non-Calvinist Systematic Theology books...

When the wife is more spiritual than the husband. 26.10.2022

I suppose it just doesn't matter if the wife is more spiritual than the husband. The real bummer is when the husband isn't spiritual at all. My website: https://BibleThinker.org

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 87) 22.10.2022

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 - Intro 1. 2:14 {“My Yoke is Easy” vs. “Take Up Your Cross”?} I’m confused about why Jesus says “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden” but then instructs us to pick up our cross (of suffering?) and follow Him. That sounds like a heavy burden to me, to try to love and obey Jesus perfectly. 2. 11:46 {Trusting God’s Will for our Loved Ones} We a...

Does Christianity make wives "ripe for abuse"? 19.10.2022

I disagree. More importantly, I can show why Scripture, which would protect wives from abuse, is often ignored. I would go so far as to say that Christianity would protect wives from such abuse and encourage them to take recourse in self-protection if the Bible is applied to their situation. It may be that the problem we often see is not too much Bible, it's too little Bible.

Confronting a hyper-jealous person 12.10.2022

This is one of those videos where I'm just hoping people will think carefully about what I'm saying. I race through a few things here rather quickly, though I fully mean what I'm saying. I think there's an obvious implication in the bitter water ritual that has application toward the idea of an overly jealous and suspicious spouse. Isolation tends to make them worse, public accountability may help...

I don't care anymore, I just want out. 05.10.2022

What do you say to someone who doesn't care anymore? I truly hope these words offer some help. My website: https://BibleThinker.org

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 86) 01.10.2022

0:00 - Intro 1. 0:22 {Can We Resist Sin Without the Spirit?} How were the disciples able to follow Jesus and resist sin without the Spirit indwelling them? Is it possible to be a Christian without the Spirit? 2. 8:52 {Help with the Hiddenness of God} The hiddenness (and silence) of God is causing me doubts. Is there any advice or help you can offer (such as that God is silent now because revelatio...

He's obviously being a very horrible jerk. 28.09.2022

It can seem like weak advice to people to "look to Jesus" in their situation. But it only seems like weak advice to those who haven't yet grasped what it means to "look to Jesus." Look to Jesus. My website: https://BibleThinker.org

A situation where you should NOT give to your church. 24.09.2022

If you want some more info on why I think that 10% is NOT required giving from believers to their local churches, then watch THIS video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDZSno_kDZ8&t=0s My website: https://BibleThinker.org

I told you so 21.09.2022

Dr. Peter Gurry is a well respected scholar, Greek professor at Phoenix Seminary, and the author or coauthor of numerous articles and books, including the new "Myths and Mistakes in New Testament Textual Criticism," which is careful analysis of rhetoric and facts about how reliable the New Testament is. Here is the playlist where top scholar after top scholar review The Passion Translation and dem...

I hate to have to make this video. These are the lies two Christians are spreading about me. 17.09.2022

Some related links: Since both Tim Hurd and Doctrinal Watchdog seem to think that I am only now changing my views because of a response to their criticisms, here are a bunch of old clips of me having these views long before their videos ever came out. Click here for the MacArthur clip (what I really think about John MacArthur) This clip is about being "slain in the Spirit," how self-control is a f...

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 85) 16.09.2022

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 - Intro 1:00 {Is Loan Forgiveness Moral or Immoral?} Is it biblical for a Christian to file for student loan forgiveness? I attended college in my 20s and racked up 20k in student loans. The balance is currently at 16k. Biden's student loan forgiveness plan would really help, but would I be "taking the easy way out" when I'm able-bodied to pay off the...

My husband is addicted to porn. Should I divorce? 14.09.2022

This question is painful and difficult to answer. I really hope that me sharing my own thoughts and including several relevant verses from the Bible brings some help to those who need it. My website: https://BibleThinker.org

What do I do? My husband demands I don't go to church. 07.09.2022

This seems to me to be an area where rebellion against his request is required by faithfulness to God. My website: https://BibleThinker.org

Joel Osteen misuses the Bible 14 out of 15 times in one sermon. 06.09.2022

Since Joel Osteen removed my first video giving a full analysis of his sermon, I am uploading this highly edited one focused on his use of Scripture specifically. Why are you doing this, Mike? Because you can't think biblically if your teachers are misusing the Bible all the time. And pointing out when and how this happens is one of the best ways to help people learn not to do it themselves. I don...

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 84) 02.09.2022

Here's the link I told you about, for searching on my site for answers to your questions. HERE’S my video on the unforgivable sin. HERE’S my video on how atheist scholar, Bart Ehrman, misleads millions. My goal is to help you on the road to thinking biblically about everything. Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 - Intro 0:39 {Did Jesus Contradict Himself?} Why would Jesus instruct us t...

Is your marriage “Christian”? 31.08.2022

It's very important that we recognize the incredible value of our marriages, whether they involve two Christians or not. You can honor Christ in your marriage whether your spouse does or not. My website:  https://BibleThinker.org

"Can I marry a Muslim?" 29.08.2022

The most important issue here is that we first decide that we are willing to yield to whatever God says on the topic. Once we’ve decided to obey we will be more likely to actually listen to the answer without distorting it to fit our desires. Original Q&A video is HERE . My website: https://BibleThinker.org

When a Christian spouse can be treated as a non-believer (and why abuse is hard to define) 24.08.2022

This is a quick overview of several points that I explain in much more detail in my full teaching on everything the Bible says about divorce and remarriage. CLICK HERE for that 3 hour video with timestamps to help you navigate to exactly what you need. My website: https://BibleThinker.org

"I find it difficult to pray for the President even though the Bible tells me to.” 22.08.2022

Yes, we want to pray for their salvation! But I think that some people have a hard time praying for those who they see as causing large scale harm or problems for others when they mistakenly think we are supposed to ask God to prosper them in their efforts. Instead, we can pray for God to bring good out of their leadership and for other blessings which don't involve supporting ungodly commitments...

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 83) 20.08.2022

My goal is to help you on the road to thinking biblically about everything. Here’s my video analyzing how Roman Catholic apologists abuse typology to teach Mariology. THIS is the entire “How to Find Jesus in the Old Testament” series. The most personally rewarding and thrilling series I’ve ever done. Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:54 {The Purpose of our Lives} As Christians, what is t...

I endorse husband-leaders, but there is a danger in it. 18.08.2022

It seems to me that a balanced, biblical view will affirm both the role of the husband as having higher authority in the household and his responsibility to utilize that authority for self-sacrificial service. Any teaching that doesn't emphasize both of these aspects seems to be unbiblical. CLICK HERE for my video on "How to Be a Husband" My website: https://BibleThinker.org

Pt. 9: Have We Misunderstood "Wives Submit"? - Women in Ministry Series 16.08.2022

Many (not all) egalitarians say that the fundamental way that marriage works, in relationship to authority, has been widely misunderstood by Christians throughout history. They say that wives are not called to submit in any greater fashion than their husbands are. They say that the real biblical teaching is for "mutual submission." Today we will cover the main passages that seem to teach an author...
