From the Show

Typically in the Bible, things that inhibit our faculties are things we should be careful of. As Paul says in Ephesians 5, “don’t be drunk with wine.” Why? Because you begin to lose control of your faculties, you’re no longer in control.

I’m Not Growing in the Fruit of the Spirit. What Should I Do?

Questions in this Episode

  1. Every time I make the conscious decision to get right with God it seems like everything in my life slowly begins to fall apart and I’m really confused by that. Is there a lesson God is trying to teach me here?
  2. Is it ok for a Christian to be hypnotized?
  3. What is the Abomination of the Desolation in Daniel 9? Does it have a double fulfillment?
  4. Life seems so incredibly difficult that I tend to focus on the life to come. Is it wrong for me to do this?

The Three Mysteries: A Protestant Reflection on Union with Christ

Christian theology is a vast expanse in which a dizzying array of doctrines orbit a single Son that holds them in their courses. We ought not dismiss any of these doctrines as unimportant, but there are some that sit at the heart of the Christian faith, while others are more peripheral.
