What did Paul say? Or did Peter say that? Did Jesus? Does it matter?

This week we're looking at three things Paul said, and questioning whether Jesus said it too--and, ultimately, if it matters. And a…

Kicking off a 3-part sub-series: Did God Really Say? (He usually did.) Today we answer the question: where does the Bible say to "invite Jesus into your heart and be saved"? That phrase isn't, but we…

People like to remind religious folk that Jesus ate with sinners--but what do you think those dinners were like? What might have been some topics of discussion? Well, this week we take a look at five…

What do we do when we realize we believe in a heresy? When someone else believes in one? When our pastor preaches one? There's no one-size-fits-all, but we'll take a look at a few key scriptures to h…

How might Christians view tradition? The Pharisees were somewhat notorious traditionalists, and perhaps why the church tries to be so relevant today. But can we also shun tradition at our own peril--…

Is "Christian Supernatural" an oxymoronic genre? If you hear a book in that genre, do you think "how could a supernatural story be Christian, or vice versa?" This is the episode for you, potentially.…

Today we look at a few key passages of Scripture as we consider how much value things on earth have. Is it worth fighting for? Getting into arguments over? Judging others for? Removing from our lives…

When we're told to "bear much fruit" because it is "to God's glory" it is important to know what kind of fruit we should be bearing. Today we look at what we can expect, what we should expect, and wh…

What do you consider sin? Is it doing something bad? And if we are destined for Hell because of our sins--then do we just need to stop doing bad things? What about people who are mostly good? Or, at …

This week was a busy week, and I did not have the time I need to fully prepare for a discussion on predestination. So instead we're talking about red flags--when is a behavior or action a red flag, v…

It feels like sometimes, so much emphasis is put on coming to Christ, on being saved, that the "by faith not works" starts to bleed into the walk with Christ. Or the walk with Christ is largely ignor…

Today we're answering this question--is salvation easy, or hard? What do we have to do to be saved? What is the actual process? Do I just say a prayer? Do I have to do anything first?

All this and mor…

Psalm 1:3--does the tree planted by streams of water bear fruit each season? Every season? Should we as Christians see the ripened fruits of our labor constantly? And what about "everything we do pro…

When you find work that gives you joy, criticism arises: well, it must not be hard work (and hard work is the only work that counts); that's great you have that, but when are you getting a real job?;…

When God said: "Six days you shall work, but on the Seventh you must rest," was it one command? Or two? That is, do we only work because we must? And only rest because we must? Or was this commandmen…
