The announced closure of Getwell Church of Christ in Memphis stirs a complex range of emotions, not just for the immediate congregation but also for the broader Christian community familiar with its history and influence. The church, once a beacon of light, has reached the point of closure, signaling not just an end but also an opportunity for reflection on the role and relevance of a church in its community.
I hope you will join me as I share some of my thoughts as i expand on this article.

In today's episode, we delve into the contentious issue of the wrap-up smear, a tactic often used in politics that has found its way into church communities. We explore how this strategy involves fabricating or misrepresenting facts about individuals to tarnish their reputation. By leveraging media and communal endorsements, these smear campaigns can have damaging and long-lasting effects. What does the Bible say about such practices? And how can church communities safeguard against this form of deceit? Tune in for an enlightening discussion on the ethical concerns and spiritual ramifications of the wrap-up smear within the church. We'll also offer practical advice for maintaining integrity and truthfulness in our communities, as guided by biblical principles.

In modern times confrontation seems to be considered toxic regardless of anything concerning the confrontation. In this episode we talk about the role of confrontation and make the case that if you are not willing to confront then you are not loving.

In today's episode, we discuss the doctrine of salvation. We look at scriptures like Hebrews 5:8-9 and Mark 16:15-16 to understand how obedience works with grace in the process of salvation. We also consider the role of baptism as described in Acts 22:16 and 1 Peter 3:21.
We tackle the question: How does this obedience-based view align with Ephesians 2:8-9, which states salvation is by grace through faith, not works? We argue that obedience is not in opposition to grace but is a natural outcome of faith. Tune in for a straightforward examination of these important scriptural teachings.

In today's episode of Christianity Now, Aaron and Tony delve into a forgotten find from cloud storage: a news segment featuring Lauren King's internship with the Fourth Avenue Church of Christ in Middle Tennessee. While Lauren's sincerity and the good intentions of the church are evident, our hosts discuss whether good intentions are enough to align with God's law. Tune in as they explore the nuanced path to apostasy and attempt to identify the underlying issue causing well-intentioned individuals to go astray. Biblical evidence will serve as the basis for this thought-provoking conversation, providing scriptural insights into the complexities of walking in righteousness.

The life of Jesus Christ is chronicled through four distinct Gospel accounts, each penned by a different author. Any event or teaching mentioned in a single Gospel naturally commands attention; its significance only amplifies when found in all four. One such universally recounted event is the burial of Jesus in a specific tomb. The events surrounding His burial offer deep insights that extend beyond their historical context, not only fulfilling Mosaic law and prophecy but also informing our modern understanding of baptism. Drawing on various scriptural accounts, this article aims to elucidate the reasons for the selection of Jesus' tomb and explore how these factors serve as instructive parallels for the Christian rite of baptism.
