Cogitations

about common sense being dead s4e226

This episode is born out of concern for behavior I witness on social media. It is evident that folk have been robbed of the ability to think critically and reason logically. It seems that echo chambers, pet ideologies, and participation trophies have robbed from the masses of even the similitude of common sense. Its like we can't even fake it anymore. I do have hope. All is not lost. But the problem is still pervasive. I hope you will tune in and take a listen as we discuss this issue.

about not needing the Holy Spirit to understand God’s Word s5e225

So controversial is this topic that it blows my mind. In this episode I attempt to make the case that man can understand the Bible. I mean, don't you think the God could write a book it does not take a miracle to understand? Tune in and take note, especially if you believe in the whole "Illumination of Scripture" doctrine.

about alleged Bible contradictions s2e44 (s5e223)

Welcome Eric Lyons from Apologetics Press on the show to talk about alleged Bible contradictions. This is a topic that is near and dear to our hearts. Higher textual critics levy all kinds of accusations at God's Word. Do any of them measure up? Tune in and let us know what you think. Also, if you think the Bible contradicts itself tune in and drop your most damning evidence in the comments section and we'll see if we can not debunk it.

about the importance of gratitude s5e221

It is the holiday of Thanksgiving in the United States of America. On this day I figured we'd take a look at gratitude and the importance of an attitude of gratitude. I pray you find something for which to be grateful during this and all seasons.

about a very pervasive problem s5e220

So many in the Lords's church are entitled. The have a misconception of who Jesus was whilst He was on earth. They pearl clutch and virtue signal and leverage their contribution and attendance against remaking the local congregation in their own image which is actually a skewed and perverted image of what they think Jesus was whilst He was on earth. Then a weak eldership will allow them to perpetuate that behavior in order to keep the peace all in the name of "not running anyone off." Tune in as we discuss this pernicious problem and hopefully find some solutions to the problem.

about Christianity Now, God’s Providence: His provision for His children s243 (s5e219)

One of the blessings that flows from God is His providence. This is a difficult for folk to wrap their mind around it seems. Either folk think that God is no longer working at all in the world or that He is directly involving Himself in the affairs of men through the performance of miracles. Neither of these extremes is correct. The truth is so much more interesting and should fill Christians with immeasurable hope. We hope you tune in and learn about this wonder topic.

about some Facebook comments s5e218

This episode will take a look at some comments from social media and we will also look at a post I recently put out that really resonated with folk. If one or two people send you a private message saying they have gone through the situation you described in your post then you best believe that it is a pervasive problem that needs to be addressed. I have some thoughts on the subject.

about being dead to sin, looking at Romans 6 s5e217

This episode is the natural progression of a string of podcasts that have turned into a series. The aim is to offer encouragement by showing from Scripture the standard set forth by God and then empowering Christians to live up to that standard. You can do it. God would not ask anything of you that is not possible or that you were not able to do.
