Practical Bible Teaching

What is your image or concept of God? Is He the angry old man in the sky throwing down lightning bolts on those who do not obey Him?

Our inheritance in the Lord is both a NOW and NOT YET reality.

The disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray. Why? Didn't they already know how to pray? Wasn't prayer a part of normal Jewish life? There is much to learn from the answer Jesus gave them.

Some misguided people think that God wants us to know that He is angry with us for what we have done; but that is simply not true. The most famous verse in the Bible says otherwise.

Unity is not uniformity and uniformity does not necessarily produce unity. In our diversity, though, we can still be unified.

Many are looking for a singularly wicked individual they can identify as the antichrist. John may give us a different way of looking.

Humans have always attempted to put God in a box or a building through their theology or their architecture. The One who created the universe will not be limited by our thoughts or our buildings.

BEATIFIC VISION is the ability to see God. It has not been a common experience to this point, but God is changing that in this day. As we begin to see more clearly, we will see people who need to be loved rather than to feel condemned. We will see beyond their behavior or the way they look, and we will see them as God sees them.

20/20 vision is perfect natural vision, but it is not PERFECT vision. Being able to see as God sees will elevate your vision far above any man-made measurement.

When God asks questions, it is not because He doesn't know the answer. He is asking for our benefit—maybe to make us think a little deeper. This episode is also available as a video blog post: https://practicalbibleteaching.wordpress.com/2021/06/06/three-questions/

This podcast was captured from the video, warts and all. We had some technical difficulties, which caused comments that I left in the audio. Hope it doesn't distract too much. Thank you for listening.

What is the purpose of the Holy Spirit? Certainly not to make us look silly.

Philip left a powerful revival in Samaria to go into the desert, because the Lord told him to. His obedience led to one of the longest revivals in history. We, too, can be led by the Holy Spirit in the same fashion.

The kingdom of heaven is not something in the far-off future for which we eagerly wait.
