Cogitations

Lessons on Spiritual Richness and Salvation s6e18

In this insightful episode of Cogitations, we unravel the intriguing biblical story of the rich young ruler, offering an in-depth discussion on his key attributes and hidden implications. Through the lens of his wealth, respectful stance, and genuine attitude, we draw valuable lessons on faith, wealth management, respectfulness, and authenticity in our spiritual journey.

Throughout the discourse, we emphasize spiritual richness over material wealth, illustrating the pitfalls of relying on earthly possessions. While wealth isn't inherently negative, it becomes a problem when it clouds our relationship with God and man. Using the rich young ruler as a case study, we encourage listeners to critically evaluate their life priorities, underscoring the power of a God-centered perspective.

Extending the discussion, we closely observe the respectful and real persona of the rich young ruler. His respectful interaction with Jesus and his genuine portrayal introduce a dimension of examining our own authenticity in our spiritual journey.

Notably, this thought-provoking episode challenges listeners to consider questions such as 'What am I willing to give up for Christ?' It urges introspection into our life choices and the need to balance earthly prosperity with eternal treasures. Concluding with lessons from the rich young ruler, we underscore the importance of maintaining honesty, fostering respect, and avoiding excessive reliance on earthly wealth.

Join us for this enlightening episode as we navigate the profound lessons the rich young ruler has to offer, affirming the wisdom that spiritual riches and salvation lie in placing trust in God, not in wealth. Embark on this spiritual journey with us to find the path towards a fulfilled and balanced spiritual life.

about God speaking to us today s6e17

Does God speak to us today separate and apart from the Bible? This question is on the table for today. Many people claim to have revelation from God. We will who how absurd this is simply through logical reasoning and we will look at Scripture to see what God, Himself, has said about the subject.

about Christianity Now discussing bigotry s3e4 (s6e16)

This week we Aaron and I are coming to you on Monday. We are talking about the interesting world of online discourse in Christendom. I am sure we'll go broader as this is a very pervasive problem that has permeated many layers of interaction between folk professing Christ.

about sitting with sinners, evangelism in this age s6e15

What are the implications of Jesus sitting with sinners? Does this account have any lessons for us today? I hope we'll all take a listen to this one and evaluate our actions when it comes to how Christians engage the culture of this age.

about how to live as a christian s6e14

I know there is nothing new under the sun. That being said, it feels like it is getting harder and harder to live as a Christian in this day and age marked by subjectivism. I hope this podcast episode will give you some encouragement to remain faithful and if you are on the fence about making the decision to become a Christian from this episode you'll understand that you can do it. God is still on our side and if God is for us then who can be against us?

It blows my mind how often this comes up as a "gotcha" from folk who know absolutely nothing about the Bible. I get it if a Jehovah's Witness or some other pseudo-christian organization makes the claim. But it baffles me when folk who profess no religious affiliation whatsoever use it as a way to discredit Christianity. Hopefully after this episode if you had any doubts they will be removed. If nothing else, I pray you are edified and informed.

about Christianity Now, Preparing for Jesus' Return s3e3 (s6e12)

So many things have got us thinking about the second coming of Jesus. In this episode Aaron and Tony talk about preparedness and how being prepared for emergencies in this world is good but it is much more needed to be prepared for the next world. We hope you are edified and informed.

about what are the Nephilim in Genesis 6 s6e11

There are many cool things recorded in Scripture. Arguably one of the coolest is Genesis 6 and the Nephilim. Who or what were they. In today's episode Barry O'Dell joins in to talk about just that topic.

about once saved always saved and more... s6e10

This livestream was originally about James chapter 1 but a commenter brought up a point as was rather contentious about whether or not one who has once obeyed the gospel and delivered out of the power of darkness to become a servant of righteousness can choose to leave that light and go back into darkness. Take a listen. It was a very good livestream and active.

about being a doorkeeper in the house of God s6e9

There was someting said during the episode with Preston Silcox from the church at Avalon that made me think of the 84th psalm. Specifically Psalm 84:10 about being a doorkeeper in the house of God is better than dwelling in the tents of wickedness. I hope someting is said here to edify and encourage.
