As we observe infants taking their very first step, only to fall moments later, there is an instinctive reaction to celebrate their effort rather than to lament their tumble. This response is full of grace and encouragement, fostering an environment where the child feels supported to try again. Adults, on the other hand, often find themselves scrutinizing their own stumbles more harshly than they celebrate their small victories. It is here that scripture offers wisdom, reminding us of the value of perseverance and the beauty in acknowledging every step of progress.

One account that has always piqued my interest is Simon the Sorcerer from Acts 18. In this episode we will look at the account as a whole and some lessons we can garner from it. Yesterday we got cut off before we could finish because of a power interruption. Today we will look at more lessons from this interesting account.

The term "tyranny of the weaker brother" is often used to describe a situation where a person with a more sensitive conscience imposes their personal convictions on others, leading a congregation to limit its freedoms unduly. The concept stems from Biblical passages like Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 8, where Paul advises believers to be considerate of those with weaker consciences so as not to cause them to stumble.

This one is driven by listener requests. The three topics are covered in one show because they all have the same golden thread running through them, expediency and God's will. We hope you are edified and informed.

Idolatry comes in many different forms. Quite possible the most dangerous form is the idolatry of good things. I hope you will tune in and take a listen. Is the church today collectively guilty of turning good things from God into worthless idols?

This is from a point made in Bible class whilst going through the book of Acts. There is a verse in the Bible that scares me. i do not mean a godly reverent respectful fear, but actually being afraid. Tune in and let me know what you think. Am I making too much of this? Let me know in the comments.

In this episode of Cogitations, we delve into the three distinct paths people often encounter in life: the way that is unmistakably wrong, the deceptive path that seems right but leads to ruin, and the true way that is unerringly right. Drawing from the wisdom of the Bible, we explore the characteristics and outcomes of each path, offering real-world examples for clarity. Tune in to learn how discernment and biblical wisdom can guide you to make life choices that not only align with ethical principles but also lead to spiritual fulfillment.
From the article:
The Three Paths
Distinguishing Between the Right, the Wrong, and the Seemingly Right
The concept of "ways" or "paths" is a recurring motif in religious, philosophical, and ethical literature, illustrating choices we encounter in life. In the biblical context, this theme can be traced to the wisdom literature, particularly the book of Proverbs.

An interesting conversation was had about baptism based on an article looking at the grammar of Mark 16:16. I think this episode will be profitable because it will pour cement to an already stable foundation. We hope you enjoy.
