Often times, pornography is a symptom of a deeper issue; a desire to be accepted, feeling wanted, a sense of power, and confidence. Those addicted to porn are longing for something deeper that they hope it will supply, but our sin never does.

How Does the Gospel Help Someone Addicted to Pornography?

Questions in this Episode

  1. A question on Christians in the workplace
  2. How do I honor my mother and father when their behavior is really ungodly and destructive?
  3. I have been trying to get out of porn for a longtime. I have been addicted to it since I was 18, now I’m 37. I recently was re-baptised and I have been trying to stay away from it but I still mess up. I know God is still listening to me and I trust him. I installed a program called covenant eyes and got some church friends to talk to about this. What’s your advice or thoughts?
  4. What is your view of the book of Revelation?
  5. Will I be able to fellowship with my loved ones in heaven?
  6. In Mark 4:14, how does Satan take away the “word that is sown”? How does he still do this to potential elects?

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.
