Clearly with Jimmy & Kelly Needham

Become a Patreon Partner You are not above it and you hate to see it laid down. Some of you follow it to the letter, while others follow its spirit. It's got a long arm even if you take it into your own hands. The Martial version of it is bad while Murphy's version is worse. You can fight it but as the 1966 Crickets remind us, it's gonna win. What is it? Well just listen to the episode...

Become a Patreon Partner It is with profound lamentation and grievous despondency that I must impart unto thee these melancholy tidings: This is verily the final volume of the Torah. Wail and gnash thine teeth in dolorous affliction, for the sacred writ of Moses hath reached its terminus (save, perchance, Psalm 90). Yet lo, these venerable words shall reappear in fragmentary form within the New Te...

6,000 years? 4,500,000,000 years? How long has this blue ball been bouncing? Folks have pondered the mystery of Earth's age for a long time. It's tripped Christians up quite a bit too (just sayin’).

Some cheery news: Your sin is worse than you thought. More than an offense to others, the Bible teaches that every sin (even the hidden ones we don't think hurt anyone) is an assault against God Himself. How is this cheery?? 🤔 Cause as we'll see, though we're far worse off than we thought, our God is far more gracious than we could imagine. Praise Him!! Want to ask us a question? Emai...

In past episodes, we've looked at how God saves people. But have you ever asked the question why? Why is God in the business of saving? Is it to give folks the gift of heaven?
