Edgar Andrews’ Onefootinglory Podcast

Christ's second coming seldom affects the way Christians behave today as it did in the early church. Yet the parable of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25:31-46 challenges our thinking on this issue because, as we seek to show in this podcast, it confronts us with the way we respond to Christ's "new commandment" to love our fellow believers as Christ loves us. Apologies for the misquote from me...

Sharing with our fellow believers is integral to a healthy, balanced and biblical Christianity. Pastor Chris Boraston finds some principles for us to follow in his exposition of Acts 4:32-37 where Luke describes the early believers as being "of one heart and soul". We need to follow their example.

PART 1 OF A TWO PART DISCUSSION Evolutionary narratives make much of "ape men" who provide  missing links between apes and humans. But "ape men" are figments of imagination; they never existed. The scientific classification of relevant fossils (as used by evolutionists themselves) place such remains in one of only two categories; they belong either to the genus "Homo" (Man) or to genera containing...

Peter and John displayed great courage before the Jewish rulers but as they report back to the intfant church, confident united prayer is made for even greater boldness. Why made them so confident? In Chris Boraston's exposition of Acts 4:23-31 provides the answer; they relied on Old Testament scripture, specifically Psalm 2 where Christ's sovereign lordship over the nations was spelled out prophe...

How far can human and pre-human fossils confirm the alleged evolution of Man? Evolution promotes the idea that there exists an unbroken sequence of fossils which show the gradual transformation of apes to man but this is simply not true. The missing links are still missing and proving hard to find. In this fourth extract from the book "What is Man? Adam, alien or ape?" We argue that the facts do n...

NOTE TEN SECONDS DELAY How should Christians deal with persecution? Chris Boraston's exposition of Acts 4:1-22 provides some answers. Arrested after healing the lame man at the temple, Peter and John display five principles to follow under persecution. 1) Trusting in God's sovereignty they did not resist arrest, 2) they relied upon the Holy Spiri , 3) they proclaimed the gospel, 4) they obeyed God...

In the previous reading from the book "What is Man? Adam, alien or ape?" we saw that Man cannot be the product of random undirected evolutionary processes. But could the unique consciousness of our race be due to the emergence or implantation of human consciousness into an evolved animal? Again we are compelled to say no. Just as computers will never mimic the human mind without the advanced skill...

The call for repentance features strongly in New Testament evangelism but is notable for its absence in much preaching today. Jesus launched His public ministry with the words "repent and believe in the gospel" (Mark 1:14) but too often we call upon people to believe while soft pedalling the need for sinners to repent for fear of offending those we want to attract. But converts who have never know...

In this second reading from the book "What is Man? Adam, alien or ape?" we examine the common assumption that Man is the accidental product of undirected natural processes. We argue that this cannot be the case because the evolutionary mechanisms of natural selection acting upon random mutations could never produce a creature with the advanced capacities possessed uniquely by Man.

In the prologue to his Gospel, John deliberately echoes the language of Genesis 1:1-3 to show that Jesus is not only the Christ but the Creator, not only the light of the world but the light that shone out of darkness at the beginning of time. Thus Jesus also creates a new spiritual beginning, the New Covenant by which those who put their trust in Him. receive newness of life and eternal security.

In this new podcast series, we revisit a book authored by the podcaster several years ago entitled 'What is Man?' This reflection is occasioned by the upcoming annual conference of the British publisher Banner of Truth, who (whether intentionally or not) selected the title of this book as their theme. We will explore our understanding of who man is, in a world where theories of our origin abound....

Like the beggar at the Temple gate we need material and financial provision to survive but do we give sufficient thought to our spiritual survival, something only the gospel can provide? The healing of the lame man in Acts 3:1-10 draws attention to this and by analogy demonstrates that spiritual safety resides in a personal esperience of the power of the name of "Jesus Christ of Nazerath" who alon...

On the day of Pentecost Peter preached what was probably the most effective evangelistic sermon ever, when 3000 souls were converted to Christ. Should we adopt the method he used? Today we tend to stress the circumstantial evidence (like the empty tomb) and the testimony of Christian believers, but Peter does not mention the first of these and refers only briefly to the second. How then does he pr...
