Understanding the Bible

We hear a lot these days about separation of church and state, especially around election time. This episode addresses the issue of Pastors endorsing candidates and why the whole idea of separation of church and state is wrong. It is un-Biblical. It is not found anywhere in our laws. It is only mentioned in a couple of Supreme court cases WHICH ARE NOT LAWS. Should we obey God or should we obey ma...

This episode is airing the day after President Trump's assassination attempt. He was saved by a mere turn of his head right before the bullet went by and clipped his ear. 2 Other innocent bystanders were murdered before the shooter was taken out. These are a few things I think we can learn from President Trump, worthy character traits that a Christian should have. Let's point out up front...

The Trinity is a made up English word for the concept taught in 1 John 5:7. The word trinity is not found anywhere in the Bible. 1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." The Word is described in John 1 as being Jesus Christ. This episode breaks it down barney style (Barney Fife or Barney the purple din...

This episode is a continuation of the series on Money and the Bible. Today we dig into the topic of tithing and what the Bible really means by that. Basically it was a historical law that the new nation of Israel had after they escaped slavery. There were 12 tribes and 11 of them were given land and possessions by God. The 12th tribe (Levi) did not get anything. God established the Civil and Cerem...

The books of Enoch are discussed in this podcast to explain why they do NOT belong in the Bible. This episode goes into what the books of the Bible are and why there never was any question that they were from God since the time they were written. A little bit of basic history is explained up front, and then the second half of this episode goes into the books of Enoch (which were in fact NOT writte...

The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Money can be used for good or bad. Just look at Jabez, Job, Solomon, Abraham, or the Proverbs 31 woman if you want to learn about people who were wealthy (even by today's standards) and what God had to say about them. Proverbs 13:22  A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children... Listen today to find some practical things you can...

Here are just a few Bible verses about father's that I wanted to share, and my take on a couple of character traits and qualities that a man aught to have. This is just a short podcast today to serve a couple of different purposes. Fathers: 1. Thank you for all you do 2. Thank you for being tough 3. Thank you for having fun, laughing, taking chances, and being wild and free, and rough and tumb...

This episode begins the topic of Money in the Bible. In case you didn't know, much of the Bible talks about money and personal possessions. It usually fits into one of two categories; common knowledge, and direct teachings about how we should handle or view money. Listen to this episode if you would like to learn a little bit about money from the spiritual perspective as well as the practical...

Just my daughter joining in to help me make a podcast. Not much Bible in this one. Have a great day!

This is the introduction to the series on Finances. Listen today to get my recommendations for how to get started on being financially free. No, it's not the "debt snowball" or even a "program". I just share principles from the Bible about spending, saving, and investing along with modern day recommendations based on my career in the financial sector. This episode explains...

I thought it was time we talk about "your truth" vs. "my truth" and the objections people have to reality in our society. We take a little dive into philosophy in this one, so buckle up for some serious thinking. The discussion centers around the idea that ABSOLUTE TRUTH exists and what the counter arguments to that are. We also get into the source of morality, good vs. evil, a...

I just wanted to inform you guys of a couple of important things. Please listen to this for an update about the podcast, a shout out to YOU the listener, and an important lesson about the WORD of God. Short and sweet with 2 hard hitting truths: you shouldn't care so much about your "feelings" when it comes to studying the Bible, and we need to spend more time actually reading and MEM...

This Psalm is very calming for some people. It was an easy metaphor for King David to make considering his earlier profession of Shepherd. The interesting thing about this metaphor is that Jesus is called the Lamb of God while at the same time He is referred to as the Good Shepherd throughout the whole Bible, and WE are His sheep. Hopefully you will listen to this and come away with a deeper trust...

War in the Middle East, AGAIN! America has funded our political ally Israel, while at the same time sending millions of dollars to Hamas (Israel's enemy that attacked them on Oct. 7, 2023) and BILLIONS of dollars to their lifelong enemy Iran (almost $100 billion) who just spent that money on thousands of missiles that they fired at our ally Israel. So why should we care? Who should we support,...

This episode explains the 2 parts of sanctification and why people often confuse it WITH salvation. If you wonder what the word means, it basically means "to set apart for Holy things" or "to purify, to make something Holy". Sanctification will not save you, but our salvation makes us sanctified before God. It doesn't end there, we have an obligation as well. Listen to this...

Happy Easter! But what is it exactly? and what does it have to do with Salvation? In Latin and Greek, the Christian celebration was, and still is, called Pascha (Greek: Πάσχα). The word originally denoted the Jewish festival known in English as Passover, commemorating the Jewish Exodus from slavery in Egypt. Jesus was resurrected the day AFTER Passover and that is what Christians today celebrate a...

Get out your Bible and prepare to do some reading. These are all great questions and you will be able to walk away from this being fully confident about the answers. As always, the answer to any question is. . . What does the Bible say!?

If you have been paying attention at all to our society, you have come to the realization that there is real evil in this world. It is attacking so many facets of life; your freedoms, your children, your finances, family life, and everything that is good and wholesome. This all out attack and attempt to muzzle and cancel anyone who dares to stand for anything traditional or good, is such a pervasi...

People talk about "Righteous Anger" but is that even a thing in the Bible? or is anger a sin? Are followers of Jesus Christ supposed to be pacifists and always "Turn the other cheek?" As always, the answer to these questions is the same, "What does the Bible say?" Listen to this podcast now to find out...

Aliens: are they real? This episode digs into what the Bible says about Aliens (spoiler - not much) and why there seems to be a huge push in modern culture to accept that aliens are real. Hollywood, the government, and colleges are all pushing at us in every way possible, the idea of life on other planets. Without any concrete evidence, this begs the question "Why?". Listen to this to fi...

This is the conclusion to the GODS part of the series. Listen to this if you want to learn what angels in the Bible look like, and which angels some of the ancient gods might actually be. I make it very clear what the Bible specifically says about angels, and there is a lot more that is there if you are curious to read about it yourself. Have a pen and paper handy to write down references that int...

Nothing needs to be censored for young...
