Cogitations

about tithing, does God require tithing today? s6e52

I hear Christians talking about tithing. I believe that once someone understands tithing and the relationship between the Law of Moses and the Law of Christ that language will be stricken from their vocabulary. Tithing is not required by God in the New Testament church. However, we are still commanded to give. In this episode we'll talk about the important difference and deduce from the scriptures exactly what God desires of us.

about crime and punishments s6e50

I heard a bit of news this morning about the national guard in the USA being deployed to act as local police. It got me thinking about the remedy to the machinations of evildoers in the world. What is the solution? Does the Bible offer any timely and timeless wisdom on the subject? Tune in as we distuss this pertinent topic. I pray someting is said that is encouraging and deifying.

Interpreting the Message in Our Tribulations s6e49

In this captivating episode of ‘Cogitations’, Tony Brewer delves into the perennial question surrounding the underlying reason for bad occurrences. At the heart of the discussion is whether these unwelcome experiences are authored by God or the result of Satan's disturbances in God's otherwise ideal creation, leading to our earthly issues.

From the narrative of Job to recollections about an old war veteran's dialogue with God in his dream, and a woman who, despite losing everything, chose to remain happy, the episode offers several lenses to view suffering and adversity. Tony emphasizes the significance of not blaming God but acknowledging that it's human beings who fall prey to the devil's manipulations.

After an enriching conversation about the inception and nature of evil and the ramifications of our decisions, Tony presents thoughtful reflections from 1 Peter 4. Listeners are urged to take their hardships in stride, recognizing its essential function in their spiritual growth. The podcast blends scripture analysis, philosophical ruminations, and true-life accounts, designed to prompt contemplation even after it ends.

Exploring ways to maintain unswerving faith in God's authority, even amidst difficulties, is the crux of this episode. It inspires listeners to persist through their struggles, considering them as opportunities for spiritual refinement rather than as forms of punishment. As the host acknowledges audience contributions, it nurtures a dynamic, congenial faith community.

The concluding segment revisits the purification process unique to precious metals, paralleling it with the trials challenging our faith. The closing remarks highlight the value of our faith being refined just like pure gold through trials, leaving listeners with a renewed sense of spiritual strength.

The episode is an invaluable spiritual compass for those seeking to comprehend and withstand their life's trials with unwavering faith and perseverance. With empowering insights derived from biblical teachings, listen in to navigate your life, with your faith holding you firm, assured that you are heard, and that your trials will eventually lead to profound spiritual fulfillment.

about Christianity Now, Spiritual Warfare: Just how powerful is the Devil? s3e44(s6e48)

Can Satan directly operate in the world today? Is Satan a being whom Christians must fear? Today Aaron and Tony will talk about spiritual warfare. We pray something said will help you in your walk with God.

about lessons from the prodigal son s6e45

I have been making some short 6 second videos that are designed to boost visibility and engagement. I had no idea how impactful and resonate they'd be with folk. Today I'll share my thoughts from one that did really well. I pray you will be edified and informed.

about contentment, the forgotten virtue s6e44

This could be considered a part 2 from the weekly Christianity Now podcast I do with Aaron Dodson. We had a wonderful livestream about flattery and lovebombing and toward the end we looked at the golden text to help people be protected against the predations of such. In this episode I'll walk through that text and talk about the forgotten virtue, contentment, and hopefully we will all be blessed and remember that godly virtue.

about Christianity Now, lovebombing and flattery s3e34 (cogs6e43)

We feel like this is a topic that is too often ignored. Sadly I have seen folk who employ flattery and lovebombing and victims who are helpless because of naivety and ignorance. The goal for this episode is to arm you with the tools to see though this charade and guard your sanity against the predations of folk who employ such tactics.
