Law of The Lord

In this episode we consider the problem of blaming others. It is common to make excuses for our sins and to find some reason why we are not at fault. We will even search for someone else to blame and try to make them responsible for our behavior. The Bible, however, teaches we are responsible for our actions and will be held accountable to God. Study along as we consider four common people or thin...

In this episode we discuss church membership. We study the Bible to see what and how one becomes a member of the Church established by Christ. We also examine the necessity of being part of a local congregation.

In this episode we consider the element of water in the word. We see where there was a mist in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2 or frozen water, hail, used to defeat Israel's enemies in Joshua 10. There are figurative uses as well, such as Jesus saying He offers living water. Our focus will be on God's use of water to separate His people from people of the world. How He used it to deliver the obedi...

In this episode we look at a number of examples where men in the Bible made bad choices regarding morality and culture, personal sin, and submission to God. These include Lot who moved to Sodom, Herod who lived in adultery and murdered the prophet of God, and Felix and Agrippa who failed to submit to God's plan of salvation.

In this episode we consider the state of our nation… the terrible condition it is in and what needs to be done about it. The answer is not what many people think. It is not in the institutions of men, their schemes and actions. The answer is in the word of God and those willing to adhere to it. Listen and consider what you can do to help our country be truly great and godly.  

In this episode we examine a phrase found in Ephesians 4:4-6, "one faith." It is a fundamental truth in God's word that there is only one faith. However, many do not believe this. The common concept is there are many faiths and you can choose the one that best fits you. Contrary to that, the Bible teaches there is one faith given by the Lord and we must all adhere to it.

In this episode we discuss death. Our observation tells us death is universal and the Bible plainly states it in Hebrews 9:27. It is something to which we pay a great deal of attention and spend an enormous amount of money on to delay or sometimes foolishly attempt to prevent it altogether. Still, it is something that is coming to us all unless we are alive when the Lord returns. In our study, we...

In this episode we discuss what it takes to become a Christian. There are many different ideas out there about how someone goes from being a sinner to being a saint. Most of what men teach is contrary to the Bible. We want to look at what it takes to become a Christian. There is certain knowledge the Bible says we must have to become a child of God. Also, there are certain actions that we must tak...

In this episode we study a fundamental truth that seed produces after its kind. A watermelon seed produces watermelons, not oak trees or even strawberries or cantaloupes. The same is true with the gospel seed, it will produce a Christian; nothing more and nothing less. So, when you see something other than simply a Christian, you know this is the result of a different kind of seed. We expand this...

In this episode we discuss the thought that we are helpless, but need not be hopeless. We explore the idea of dependence on God, knowing what is important, and looking to heaven. These are things a Christian will do. The ultimate question is, though, are you a Christian? Not as defined by the teachings and ideas of man, but as outlined in God's word. We will touch on this at the end of the episode...

This episode is the second of two in which we examine the topic of the resurrection with a focus on 1 Corinthians 15. This chapter is an extensive argument for why there will be a resurrection of the dead at the end of time. We will see a denial of the resurrection leads to loose morality. Too, our study looks at objections and questions people have about the resurrection that tend to cause doubt,...

This episode is the first of two in which we examine the topic of the resurrection with a focus on 1 Corinthians 15. This chapter is an extensive argument for why there will be a resurrection of the dead at the end of time. It shows the resurrection of Christ is a historical fact and the implication if it is not. In this first episode we will also see how the resurrection is part of the consummati...

In this episode we study one of the most fascinating events in all of human history, the flood. This account, recorded in Genesis 6-8, is known the world over today. People who have even a little familiarity with the Bible usually know about the flood. That was true in ancient times as well, because the flood was a real event that impacted the entire world. About 200 different civilizations have a...

Some people see being a Christian as oppressive, gloom, doom, and too difficult. However, when you read the Bible, you see that Christianity has practical benefits. This episode looks at two areas where it is beneficial to be a Christian: being a member of the Kingdom of God and the daily value it offers. There are more benefits, but these two help us see that in this life there are blessings when...

Is Christianity logical? Some claim it is foolishness and only those with "blind faith" could possibly accept it. They say reason and rationality must be cast aside; evidence and "science" must be rejected. Is this true? This episode examine the question, "is Christianity logical?" We talk about the dominant Western view, the idea that God wants reason, evidence behind Christianity, and the fact t...

The most controversial subject of all time is the claim that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ. In this episode we consider the controversy during Jesus' time on earth and what it looks like in our time. We close the episode with encouragment not to compromise your conviction that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior of the world.

The Bible describes both rewards and punishments for our behavior in this life. Temporal rewards include happiness, while punishment can take the form of heartache. The eternal reward is heaven, but the punishment is hell. In this episode we examine the latter, heaven: it is a real place and is glorious.

This episode is a quick overview of the New Testament of Jesus Christ.

Some things are sad, but true - like the cost of living is on the increase. Also, evil exists in this world (1 Peter 5:8). This episode looks at three other things that are sad, but true: America is not a Christian nation, you cannot make others do what is right, and most people are going to hell.

The Bible gives us examples of people who listen, but only to a certain point. Their heart is open until they hear something that goes against their beliefs, attitudes, or manner of life. This episode examines multiple accounts when people listened "until this word."
