From the Show

In many ways, certainly, there are many freedoms that we have enjoyed here that the church does not have in other places of the world. And we ought to give thanks to the Lord for that and praise him for that. But our king is Jesus, and the holy nation that we are apart of is the church, the only holy nation on earth today.

Is America a Christian Nation?

Questions in this Episode

  1. Why do pastors so often neglect Jesus’s command to get baptized in their preaching?
  2. I have always been told that America is a Christian nation built on Judeo Christian teachings. But I recently heard a pastor say that America isn’t a Christian nation and that we shouldn’t refer to it like that. What do you think?
  3. Where is the tower of Babel in the Bible and what does it mean? What am I supposed to take away from that story?
  4. I grew up Catholic and a couple years ago started going to a protestant church. My question is, what are the names of the Apocryphal books and why don’t protestants use them in their Bibles?

“Here’s what I love about Jesus. Jesus actually knows that the church is broken and imperfect and falls short. But the difference between us and Jesus is we see that and we use that as a justification to abandon the church. Jesus sees the church, as broken as she is, and on the way as […]
