Brooklyn's Dad Talks About the Bible

We pause to comment on the revivals breaking out in places like Asbury University in Kentucky and Samford University in Alabama. Yes, I know I called Asbury "Azusa" a couple of times. Getting my revivals muddled by my bad-addled brain. While always happy to hear the name of Christ exalted, we want to understand exactly what biblical revival looks like. We are taking no position on the aforemention...

We fisnish our look at Genesis (maybe) with a look at Noah and Abraham and Abraham's offspring. We meander around the patriarchs after a brief look at the silly, Satanic grammy awards show. Scripture tells us how Satan work, and it's not through silly red costumes and bad music. Well, maybe he does use bad music.

We stay with Adam and take a look at the first couple's attempt to cover their own nakedness. As beautiful as nature may be, it's not terribly friendly to us. It kind of hates us, actually. But it wasn't created that way. Adam hoped for a restoration of nature, which will come one day. God is a God of restoration. Although there are different families of God, all hoping for a restoration of one ki...

We're back looking at Adam and all the foundational truth of scripture found in Genesis. We see how Adam is juxtaposed with Christ. We see the plan of God already unfolding for the sacrificial death of Christ. We look at the different bodies God sees. We also examine the ideas of body, soul, and spirit. We see Christ in Abraham and Isaac's journey to Mount Moriah. All in all, Christ is exalted. Fi...

We start our whirlwing tour of scripture by taking a look at the origin of it all. Do you believe in the theory of evolution? I used to. I was a huge fan of the Cosmos series of the early 1980s. But by the time I graduated from university, I had already essentially abandoned it. So, when I finally came to faith in Christ, I could begin to investigate God's plan for this old earth. We jump right in...

We start our journey through scripture by looking at the Lord's warnings in regard to being deceived. We again the centrality of context to all scripture interpretation.

We take a look at a couple of quotes from John MacArthur as he sets out to correct what he sees as false teaching. We pause to remind ourselves that we are all subject to error. We are all limited in our capacity to grasp all of scripture. So, we must all be prepared to examine, reexamine, and even modify or discard our own doctrines if the scripture moves us to. In the end, we all will answer as...

In our brief time today, we meander through world events and look at this inhospitable home of ours which we call Earth. We ponder the idea of all of us switching our voter registrations to UNAFFILIATED and let the candidates debate the issues and win our votes with arguments, not with slogans.

More holiday season grumbling about taking verses out of context. We look at just a few verses which are often cut in half in order to fit a predetermined theology. We clarify what the "spiritual" kingdom is. The Kingdom of God represents a very large rulership of the Lord. Not all hopes are the same. We also wander, again, into the war in Ukraine. We end on a few thoughts on economics and freedom...

We pause this Christmas season to remember that Christmas is a very very Israeli holiday. We'll look at prophecy, we'll look at the epistles, we'll tread the sacred ground quoted by Linus in "A Charlie Brown Christmas." O Come O Come Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel! The Lord's birth is about the King coming to take the throne of his father David. We're in a pause at the moment, but that Kingdo...

Our Apostle Paul tells Titus that those teaching false doctrines, leading away believers, must have their mouths stopped (Titus 1:11). What does that mean in a practical sense?

A bit more on Nazis (real ones, no dime store phonies), the Spiritual and Physical aspects of the Kingdom in scripture, in the context of time and marriage. A mish-mash of stuff today for this holiday season.

We're looking very broadly at the Kingdom of God in scripture. On the way there, we stop by the Holocaust museum and have a few more words to say about the recent talk of Hitler in the news. God's Kingdom (physical and spiritual) is sure, but in the meantime, let's learn from history. Tolerance does not mean approval, but it does mean we should be listening to each other and banding together again...

Today, we try to offend everybody! We ask Ye what he was thinking (I mean, honestly, what is he thinking?). We ask Gettr live-streamer, @theisabelbrown, "how does a picture of you lighting candles prove you have resurrection life?" We then ask both of them (and Pope Paul IV) about the Jews (for funsies). And finally, Our Daily Bread managed to upset me this week (not very hard to do, if I'm honest...

We pause to consider what is going on with the children in these last days. The most vulnerable among us used, abused, and even murdered. We note that the world is more concerned with shutting up Kanye than with stopping the exploitation of children. There is great wickedness in this world and it starts with the powerful. It's time we put politics and our teams aside and speak up for the little on...

We meander a bit in a very general way about Christmas. I'm actually not too keen on the religious end (but I'm not terribly upset about it), but I very much enjoy the season. With the rest of the universe, we start our Christmas chatting early this year. There's also a small bit about the war in Ukraine, but quite small, I promise.

Today, we briefly look at the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, even more briefly look at the recent election, and then we move on to the subject at hand: those who sneak in among us (us being Evangelicals). Hey, I don't mind anyone selling their wares (theological or otherwise), but at least be upfront about it.

We chat about the topic of depression. Seems like so many today suffer with some degree of depression. We ponder the who, what, and why of depression.

When we pray or gather or read the scriptures, we must accept that God knows best. But in addition to that, we have to know what age we're living in so we can pray more accurately and be more sensitive to how God works in this age. If you're praying the prayers meant for others or if you expect God to act the same in all ages, you will be confused and disappointed. Noah may have prayed for a world...

Looking around for a hero that's not coming (well, not from the current cast of characters). We continue to encourage you to be your won authority, because you're going to answer as your own authority.

We step back from our previous call to stop looking at everyone on the other side of the political divide "evil" and point out where there really is evil. That is, in the seats of power. We take aim at BOTH political parties here and your humble host calls on all of us to become unaffiliated and to stop feeding the beast (donations). They gin up fear and hatred, we write them checks. Kinda stupid...

There are a lot of thinks the Lord says in the synoptic gospels, and consequently there are a lot of things believers today like to explain away. Now, if you think that means that I want believers today to take the Lord's words literally and start obeying them, you'd be quite wrong! We do need to take the Lord literally (when he speaks plainly), but I'm not pretending he's talking to me. If you th...

Ever wonder why the politicians never seem to actually solve anything, as we pass 30 trillion dollars in national debt? It's because they don't want to solve anything! Both sides do it. They want to keep issues alive to keep us at each other's throat and so we will given them more money and power based on a promise they'll solve it. But they never do! Later. Rinse. Repeat. Check your email. I bet...

Babbling on about current events back in April... Bonus material until we can get the show back on the rails.

We're back on the air! Just a short intro to our next trip down Michael lane. We briefly discuss the problems with being a political "team" and look forward to more adventures in theology, politics, music, sports, and all things Brooklyn's Dad.
