Increase Our Faith (Luke 17:5) Podcast

Have you read the news lately? Find any good news? If you missed it, you’re not alone. Good news doesn’t make the front page. You cannot hear good news over the airwaves either, because they are saturated with bad news… But the good news is being reported, and although it is buried in reams and reams of bad news, the bad news has not overcome the good news. So, where can you find the good news? Wh...

Imagine you wake up one morning and you open your front door as you do every morning to pick up your newspaper or to take your dog out, only to find a treasure on your doorstep. Please use your imagination freely here, how ever you would like to picture this treasure is fine… a suitcase full of cash, a chest filled with coins or a stack of gold bars, you pick.

This fallen world of ours has a way of draining us and leaving us gasping for breath. Suffering, injustice and persecution will leave us weary, and so will our own sin, after it leads us astray with its false promises. But God...

It’s easy to pick on the secular world’s misunderstanding of the message of Christmas. Anyone with a Keep Christ in Christmas lawn sign or a He’s the reason for the season bumper sticker can point out that Christmas in the culture has been hijacked by corporate marketers and Hallmark movie script-writers.

Is there a practical answer to what a Christian is allowed to do? I mean, theology is great, but what about Squid Game ? Can I binge Squid Game? What about meeting my unbelieving friends at the pub… is that OK? Can I apply for a job at a corporation that promotes DEI? We face so many little day-to-day decisions, which the Bible does not specifically address, so how do I keep it all straight? These...
