Truth Is The Word

We just cannot avoid the fact that parts of the Old Testament depict God as a bloodthirsty warrior. As a continuation of last weeks post on the God of the Old Testament, Dr. Christopher Peppler goes into more detail in this audio file. In the Q & A session, we mostly discuss this statement: "When we encounter these incidents [the seemingly extremely harsh incidents] in scriptures, we can respond i...

People who doubt the authenticity of the Old Testament or the divinity of Jesus should listen to this message. The Lord Jesus connects the dots between His life and key Old Testament events. By doing this He is in effect saying, "Yes, it is true, and I AM the one who did it!"

In this sermon, delivered at the Lonehill Village Church on Sunday 24th June 2018, I spotlight prophecy in the book of Acts and then extend the subject into the church of our day. Although by no means a comprehensive Bible study, this message includes insights from Paul’s treatment of prophecy in 1 Corinthians 14. You can listen to the sermon here:   http://truthistheword.com/wp-content/uploads/20...

  Unfortunately, it’s not only atheists, secular agnostics and so on who denigrate the Bible, it’s also several well-meaning ‘Christians’. Listen to Dr Christopher Peppler explore this topic in the latest TruthTalks summary and question and answer session.

In this sermon (and I apologise for the not great audio quality in places) Dr Christopher Peppler looks at the life of Hezekiah. The first few minutes were not recorded, however, this is the background to the life of Hezekiah and describes what his father had done before Hezekiah became king. If you would like to read more about it you can at 2 Kings 1-20 and 2 Chronicles 28-30. Like most stories...

Bezalel was an ordinary man who did something truly extraordinary - he crafted the tabernacle and everything inside it. You don't have to be a king or queen or ruler or anything other than "normal" to do something of immense significance. Last week Dr Christopher Peppler preached on this at the Village church, so if you would like to hear about the amazing life of Bezalel, then listen to this serm...

Dr. Christopher Peppler (a.k.a. Dad)  explores the topic of prayer in audio. The first half of this recording is explanations, along with some further explorations, on the topic of prayer, and the second half is me (Karen Peppler) quizzing my dad on the subject. I do hope I ask some of the questions you, as a listener, might ask, so do let me know if you have anything to add or offer. Thank you fo...

So many people in our day just do not grasp what Jesus meant when He said that in order to enter the Kingdom of God we must be Born Again. Nothing new here, because two thousand years ago, Nicodemus, the eminent Jewish scholar of his day, could not grasp this either. Yet it is a vitally important concept and I believe that a failure to understand and respond to Jesus’ words to Nicodemus account fo...

Last week Dr Christopher Peppler published a post about five "ill winds" blowing around and through churches and believers in recent times. If you read it and thought "Calvanism? what is that again?" and then perhaps even moused-over to see the definition and yet still felt un-enlightened (as I did) then this TruthTalk is for you. Do subscribe if you would like your podcatcher to notify you when a...

It is the beginning of a new year and so I thought it might be helpful to give you a brief overview of the 5 Freee online bible study tools I find the most helpful. Bible study tools are not just for serious scholars because they help us all to better understand the meaning of the biblical text. Also, most of the sites I am featuring have daily reading and devotional sections. We are so blessed to...

  On Sunday 7th January 2018 I preached a message of hope and optimism concerning our national condition. You can listen to it HERE: http://truthistheword.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Shine-Jesus-Shine.mp3   You can also access the biblical text HERE. If you would like to listen to other sermons I have preached, you can find them  HERE. I have included my sermon notes for those of you who would...

Greetings and welcome to 2018. May you all be blessed in this year and the ones to come. Today's post is a TruthTalk sermon called 'The Joy of our Salvation', which Dr. Christopher Peppler preached at Lonehill Village Church on Christmas day. In this TruthTalk we hear about what is described as 'a silver river of joy running through the bible'  called JOY. This is a wonderful message for those of...

Dad (Dr Christopher Peppler) and I will be taking a tiny bit of time off and there won't be any posts or podcasts until the 9th of January 2018. Until then, have a wonderful, joyful festive season. For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. –...

In this TruthTalks audio Dr. Christopher Peppler talks about divorce from the biblical perspective of what Jesus taught. The verses referenced are in: Matthew 5 Matthew 19 Mark 10 Luke 16 Deuteronomy 24 Malachi 2 1 Corinthians 7 A must-listen for any Christians struggling with divorce. I do hope this helps.

Following the post on "Death, the final frontier" we bring you the TruthTalks on this. After a short summary of the post, Christopher Peppler and I get into an animated (sorry for the interruptions Daddy) discussion on the topic of death, where we go, who goes where, what happens to our pets, etc. Listen here now or click on the subscribe button to receive notifications of new podcasts which come...

Failure is not an end in itself, but a vital part of the transformation and learning process. Last week I published an article on this subject and Karen and I would normally chat about it this week. However, I preached on this subject on Sunday and thought that the sermon would be the best way of presenting it this week– so here it is. http://truthistheword.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Truth-Tal...

  Dad (Dr. Christopher Peppler) and I discuss Judgement Day, after THIS post last week. Well, I say discuss, but it's more me trying to understand certain things, and asking Dad some of the most difficult questions I can think of. If you have any questions about the post, please give this a listen, and if you still have questions then let us know so we can find your answers for you. You can stay u...

Dr. Christopher Peppler and I (his daughter Karen) discuss Jewish Celebrations and in particular the feast of Tabernacles which is happening right now. Find out why YOU should find this important, hear about Christopher's supernatural experience in Israel, and (hopefully) have any questions you may have answered from this weeks audio post. My apologies for any clicks you may here in the audio, we...

“Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid”. This is the correct quote attributed to Albert Einstein I was floundering to find while talking to Dr. Christopher Peppler in this TruthTalks episode where we discuss the negative effects of judging and making comparisons, how they affect us, and what we can do...

What do we do if we find ourselves in a conversation about Jesus and realise the other person is of a totally different faith to our own and we know nothing about it? In this TruthTalk and Q and A session we talk briefly about 5 major religions, how they view Jesus, and how to "deal" with them. I also quiz Dad (Dr Christopher Peppler) about other religions, and we have an interesting conversation...

All of us have experienced rejection in one form or another, but for some people rejection can be devastating. Unless we deal with it in a healthy manner, feelings of rejection can blight our lives and can even result in depression or a total breakdown of our sense of worth. 1 Peter 2:4-10 contains three antidotes to the negative effects of rejection: 1. Develop a biblical understanding of our ide...

Doctrinal damsels and dames In this TruthTalks audio recording, Dad (Dr Christopher Peppler) and I change up the format a little and instead of having an overview of the post to open with we both dive headlong into talking about a couple of women in the Bible and what made them special. It is a somewhat light-hearted take on this issue and I do hope you enjoy it! Listen now by clicking on the link...

In this sermon, based on Acts 10:38, Dr Christopher Peppler, drawing on the gospels, talks about our dependence on the Holy Spirit and what that means. He shows us that: As we learn to depend on the Holy Spirit we can grow both to be more like Jesus and to minister as He did. We can experience both the person and the power of the Holy Spirit – as Jesus did. And more He also talks about HOW we resp...

Dr. Christopher Peppler and I discuss women's role in the church as it was, is, and should be. Apart from really enjoying and gaining (in my opinion) much needed insight into my faith when I do these TruthTalks with Christopher Peppler, it can still feel disheartening when I think of how few people know about this podcast and therefore don't gain what I do from them. As I edit the audio I try to r...

Last week Dr Christopher Peppler (a.k.a "Daddy") wrote THIS post about debunking myths about Christianity. In this audio episode he goes into some more detail and then I get to have a Question and Answer session with him where we end up discussing the topic, along with Jewish folk, and C.S. Lewis vs. Lewis Carroll. I do hope you enjoy it and God bless you. http://truthistheword.com/wp-content/uplo...
