Edgar Andrews’ Onefootinglory Podcast

King David, exiled by a rebellion led by his son Absalom, asks why God has forsaken him. But he quickly discovers that God is teaching him a profound lesson, namely, that he must find his peace, hope and joy in God, whatever the circumstances and trials that life may bring.

This video begins a series of readings from the author's book What is Man? Adam, alien or ape? in which, beginning with chapter 1, we plan to cover the whole book in something like 30 episodes. Each reading will last around 30 minutes. Episode 17 of this podcast was a trial reading from Chapter 2 of the book but following feedback from viewers we have improved the format to provide a more personal...

The letter to the church at Smyrna (Rev. 2:8-11) reveals both the sovereignty of Christ and the suffering of the church. We see how Christ's sovereign control of all things is compatible with the tribulation and suffering of His people. This episode will be followed by a final study on this letter which will solve any apparent contradiction by showing that this compatibility arises from the "suffi...

EXPERIMENT! Our latest video consists of a reading by the author from his book "What is Man?" The intention is to work through the book with each chapter occupying two episodes of 30 minutes or less. Continuation of this experimental series will depend on feedback from viewers (click on 'like' below the video window. This will let you load a free podcast app on to your mobile phone where you can t...

This video expounds Psalm 2 and is a follow-up of the previous message on Psalm 1. Both Psalms are foundational to a proper understanding of Bible theology, Psalm 1 dealing with our personal walk with God and Psalm 2 with God's unfolding purpose for mankind and the reign of Christ. (Video recorded under constraints imposed by Covid-19 restrictions for live church services). In a fallen world, King...

NEW! In our latest episode Edgar Andrews answers the last two questions in the interview conducted by American broadcaster Christopher Sernaque. What makes a biblical worldview superior to other theistic worldview? ANSWER; its self-consistency and power to bring us into a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. In answering the questions, Professor Andrews describes how he hi...

THIS VIDEO This episode is a sermon in which the exhortations of Romans 12:1-2 are expanded and practically applied by a study of Psalm 1. These exhortations are respectively (1) do not be conformed to this world, (2) be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and (3) prove (discover) what is the will of God. But these verses do not explain how we are to accomplish these things in practice. This...

  THIS VIDEO The third extract from the interview conducted by Christopher Sernaque with Professor Edgar Andrews. The questions addressed in this episode lead to a comparison of the atheist and Christian theist worldviews, and an enquiry as to where the burden of truth lies between the conflicting parties. We apologise that the sound quality is poor in some sections due to technical problems.

The tree of life. In this sixth episode of our Bible study series "Revelation Revisited" we examine the meaning of Rev, 2:7, where we are introduced to "those who overcome" and to the Tree of Life. What connects these two things? What is symbolized by this tree, what does it mean to us today, and how may we become "overcomers" in the warfare of faith? We find answers to all these questions in this...

THIS VIDEO The second in a series of seven extracts from an interview with Professor Andrews conducted by American broadcaster Christopher Sernaque. In this episode the question asked and answered is "What are Richard Dawkins' best arguments for evolution and why do you think they fail?" The question arises from the 1986 Oxford Union "Huxley Memorial Debate" in which Edgar Andrews and Richard Dawk...

  THIS VIDEO The church that lost its love (Rev. 2:1-7). At first sight the church at Ephesus was doing well and Christ appears to commend their works of labor, patience and their rejection of evil men and false apostles. And indeed such works are commendable. But, searching the hearts and minds of the Ephesians, the Lord perceives a serious flaw ... their motivation for service is no longer the l...

  Is the theory of evolution an idol? Addressing the question why the theory of molecules-to-man evolution dominates biological education in the Western world, we suggest that this theory is a 'god-substitute' or idol of modern intellectualism, ultimately attributable to the Fall of Man.

  Christ and the churches; In this episode from Rev. 1:9-20 we meet two perspectives on the local church, one earthbound and the other heavenly. We examine both, discovering that the local church is precious in the sight of God and it's ministers are held in Christ's right hand. We are challenged to see our own loal chuches as Christ sees them ... imperfect perhaps but precious in God's perception...

  In REVELATION REVISITED 3 (Rev. 1:9-20) we encounter the first of the apostle John's visions which although it is a single narrative presents two themes, namely, the glory of Christ and the nature of the churches. In this session we consider the glory of Christ as it is revealed in this first vision. Although I have edited the video to reduce its size (you will notice the interruptions!) the len...

Revelation 1:4-8. In this episode we see how John's greeting to the seven churches in Asia begins as a benediction and grows into a doxology focussed on the Person and work of Christ, "who loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood and made us kings and priests to God".

Revelation 1:1-3. This is the first study in a new series in which we shall be working through the Bible's Book of Revelation in a lay-person-friendly manner. These studies are unscripted and unedited, so please excuse any glitches that may occur. The artificial background has been chosen because the Book of Revelation can be thought of as a bridge of understanding between earth and heaven. This s...

Is Man the image of God? This lecture explores the biblical statement that Man is made in the image of God, and seeks to show that this implies that God shares certain of His communicable attributes uniquely with Man.

Is Man an accident? Many claim that Man is an accident of cosmology (providing a life-supporting planet), of chemistry (causing the origin of life), and of evolution ( causing Man to arise from a common ancestor shared with the great apes). This lecture offers a brief critique of these ideas and finds them wanting. The lecture is based on the book "What is Man? Adam, alien or ape?"  

UPDATES NEW! The second of our “Revelation Revisited” Bible studies is now on p.3 of this podcast. These studies will work systematically through the Book of Revelation in mainly weekly 30 minute video talks. Look out for the blue color-coded episode logo. There is a new video "Did Adam and Eve exist" on p.3, being a lecture given at the launch of the Dutch edition of my 2018 book "What is Man? Ad...
