From the Show

Pauls concern here is that the people in the church are buying into false teaching. There have been a number of theologians and pastors throughout the history of the church who have mentioned that ministers of the gospel really need to have two voices: the gentle voice for gathering the sheep in but another voice, a stern voice, for casting out the wolves.

Does Paul Say We Should Punish Ourselves When We Sin?

Questions in this Episode

  1. What should Christians know about Freemasonry?
  2. How do we build trust in Christian leaders again after so many high profile Christian figures have been caught in scandals?
  3. When will we receive our glorified bodies?
  4. In 2 Corinthians 10:5-6, the latter part of the verse talks about punishing “all disobedience.” What does that mean?
  5. Is schizophrenia a kind of demonic possession or is it purely a mental disorder?
  6. I have in the past asked a Mormon friend to pray for me or others that are on my heart. I don’t believe LDS Scriptures are from God or that my friend believes in the triune God. But he believes he is praying to God. Where do his prayers go? Are they powerless?

Assurance in the Shadow of Doubt

Assurance in the Shadow of Doubt

The coexistence of assurance and doubt is not a contradiction, but a reflection of the Christian life lived between justification and glorification. True assurance rests not in the strength of one’s faith, but in the object of that faith—Jesus Christ—and the presence of doubt, while unsettling, does not nullify genuine belief.

Our Victory Is Between the Flags of Sound Doctrine

Our Victory Is Between the Flags of Sound Doctrine

Following sound doctrine requires our eyes to remain fixed on Jesus. It also requires that our faith rests in him. Faith opens the door to God’s plan and allows us to accomplish his will for our lives. It does so chiefly because it fosters a heart that yields to the counsel and leading of God. In this way, we remain on the road of truth.

Walking by Faith Isn't Wishful Thinking

Walking by Faith Isn’t Wishful Thinking

We are not merely hoping for the best outcome, we are assured of the greatest outcome—the coming of God’s Kingdom. Our faith doesn’t work like a magic eight ball, trying to tell us every detail of our lives, but our faith is knowledgeable.

Why Did Jesus Say “Don’t Cling to Me?”

Jesus’s words were a puzzle to me for a long time. Why would he push Mary away in her moment of joyful recognition? According to his own words, it seems he has some unfinished business: “I have not yet ascended to the Father” is how Jesus tells Mary—and us—that his ascension is absolutely necessary for his redeeming purposes to be brought to completion.
