The Gospel of Repentance Ministries

Many people claim that God does not exist. Is their claim true? Has God failed to provide Himself a physical witness in the earth, or is there plenty of evidence for His existence? This podcast will explore this critical topic.

What does the Bible have to say about the morality of mankind? As time marches on forward is man evolving or devolving in the choices he makes? Is man getting closer to God, or is he drifting further away from Him?

Believe it or not, there are times that God will withhold forgiveness from us as children of God. Shocking? Perhaps. But in order to understand why God sometimes will do that, you need to listen to this my latest podcast to gain some valuable insight.

There are many views on prayer. What is effective prayer? Is it getting what we want from God or is it for us to acknowledge God as the all-sufficient one and to give him glory? Should we demand that God bend his will to ours or our will to his? What is the point of prayer if God already knows what he is going to do before we ask him; can we change his mind?

King David in Psalm 139:21 stated he hated those that hated God. Very strong language. Was David wrong in what he said in light of the fact that Jesus commanded us to love our enemies in Matthew 5:44? This seems like an obvious contradiction. How can we explain the tension between these two verses?  Listen to find out.

What do I mean when I ask this question? Is God subject to circumstance, chance, or fate? Do things happen for no reason at all? Some would believe that due to all the bad things that happen in our world that God does not exist or he is not powerful or caring enough to stop it. Recorded back on March 28th, 2017.

Most people you ask this question will answer in the affirmative. "Of course I believe in Jesus!" But, is a mere verbal confession enough to save you? What if that confession is not backed up with a sanctified life? Does this invalidate the confession one makes? What evidence can one present to prove their belief in Jesus is real?

What does this word mean? The episode also discusses a time in history called the Millennium. When does that event occur and what are the different views on this end time event?

Many outside of the Church are deceived regarding what constitutes true salvation. Why? Because of their ignorance of what the Bible says regarding the matter. This episode discusses a few ideas that will lead to a false of assurance of salvation, and how to avoid them. Recorded September 16th, 2017

What is a temptation? Is it all bad? Does God tempt us in any way? How should we respond to these trying times in our lives? Is there any short or long time benefit?

The portraits, stain glass windows, and statues of a man who is supposed to be Jesus Christ. Are these things Biblical or are they idolatrous? Some have even said they have seen the face of Jesus in a tortilla! Really? How do we even know what Jesus looks like? Is he a white man with long hair, feminine features patting little kids on the head according to our greeting cards and paintings? That is...

The prophet Daniel humbled himself regarding the nation Israel due to its sins. With all that is currently happening in the U.S. and the world, we need to humble ourselves as well. Tune in and read the blog article I wrote regarding humility. http://gospelofrepentance.blogspot.com/2017/09/we-need-humilty.html  

Wolf in sheep's clothing. Charlatans, hucksters. Modern day Pharisee. These are all hypocrites. Are we as Christians running the unsaved away from the doors of the Church because of our duplicitous living? Tune in to find out more regarding this critical subject. Originally recorded September 3rd, 2017

What is this judgment? When will it occur or has it occurred already? Who will participate in it? Who is the judge and will any one in the trial be acquitted? Stay tuned.

The atonement is the sacrifice that Christ made on the cross so that those who believe in this vicarious act of love by the Son would receive forgiveness of all their sins and be granted eternal life. The big debate regarding the atonement discussed among evangelicals is this: "Is the atonement unlimited or limited or is it both?" This podcast attempts to answer those questions.

The doctrine of election is a teaching that some in the Church has admitted to hating. Why? Because many believe that God is being unfair if He is choosing some by passing over others. Whether one loves or hates the doctrine, it is an inescapable doctrine in scripture. It is also critical that a person knows they are among the chosen of God. Otherwise, they cannot have the assurance of their salva...

The 5th and final point regarding the five points of Arminianism. This is the most controversial because it deals with a person's eternal destiny. There are many in the evangelical world that believe salvation can be lost. The question has to be asked, "If salvation can be lost did you ever have it in the first place?"

Can God's grace be resisted? There are many that would say yes. Others would say no. If God's grace cannot be resisted, is it a violation of our wills? Or does God have to overcome our wills and pour his love into us in such a powerful way so that his grace becomes too irresistible for us to reject?

This doctrine teaches that when Jesus died, he paid the price for all sins for all people that will ever live. If this is true, then he knowingly shed his blood for those he knew would never believe in him and perish to pay the penalty for their own sins in hell. The question then must be asked, "What good is the atonement for those to whom it will never be applied?"

Jesus commanded us that if our hand or eye causes us to sin to cut it off (our hand), or pluck it out (our eye) and cast them away from us so that they do not cause us to perish. Was he advocating self-mutilation? This is crass language from our Lord - wouldn't you agree? A comparative blog article is below. http://gospelofrepentance.blogspot.com/2013/11/what-jesus-you-want-me-to-mutilate.html  

Conditional election is the belief that looks down the corridor of time to see what man will do regarding the gospel. And based on what God foresees in man before he is born, decides to choose him for salvation. In other words, God's choosing of man is conditional or contingent upon what man will do first.

What does partial depravity mean? Some believe it means that man is corrupt, but he has some vestige of goodness and virtue that he can incline himself to believe in the gospel without divine intervention. In other words, man is bad, but deep down there is a reservoir of goodness in him to come to saving faith on his own.
