Cogitations

about choosing good s5e177

In a world rife with negativity, choosing to focus on the good seems not only rebellious but necessary. The Bible provides ample guidance on how to orient our lives around goodness and leave a legacy worth celebrating. In today's episode we'll talk about eight principles I stole from a Facebook post, supported by Biblical wisdom, that can help us foster positivity and meaningful impact.

about the moral state of our society s5e176

It's easy to look back at ancient civilizations and think we've evolved far beyond their practices and beliefs. However, closer examination reveals more similarities than one might admit. This article discusses the parallels between ancient Canaanite practices and contemporary behaviors, particularly focusing on worship of nature and the issue of abortion. We'll explore what the Bible says about these topics and the potential remedies it offers for moral degradation in society.

I hope you join in and discuss this pertinent topic with me.

about Sovereignty andSalvation s53175

Join in as we discuss God's sovereignty and salvation is Calvinistic doctrine congruent with Scripture? I believe it is not. I will attempt to prove that case today. At the very least we will show the woful inadequacy of Calvin's percepton of God's sovereignty.

about the wheat and the tares, a throwback s5e173

This one is from the days of the We Talk Truth podcast when I was in Arkansas. This episode included Aaron Dodson and Brock Kendal. We are talking about the wheat and the tares and discussing it in the context and seeing if it is a second coming parable or a parable for those in that present age contemporary with Jesus speaking of the destruction of Jerusalem. Let us know what you think.

about combatting the Devil s5e171

In a world ever so vibrant with distractions, the devil finds fertile ground to creep in, almost unnoticed. From the desensitization of our church environments to a diminished focus on the spiritual nurturing of our young, we are slowly, yet progressively, diverging from the biblical pathway. As we navigate these choppy waters, it is paramount to remain grounded in the teachings of scripture, lest we let Satan slip into our homes and lead astray the innocent ones, our children.

about how the Holy SpiritWorks s5e170

In contemporary discussions about the Christian walk of faith, one recurrent theme is the way the Holy Spirit works in our lives. There are those who firmly assert that the Holy Spirit guides, illuminates, and convicts humans directly, reaching out to individuals separately from the Word of God. Looking closely at the scriptures, especially the statements made in Psalm 119, we find a different story. The Psalmist statements indicate that everything we credit to the Holy Spirit is attributed to God's Word in some form or another. This means that the actions of the Holy Spirit are carried out through God's Word. Let's dig into this idea further by examining the verses in Psalm 119 that show the relationship between the work of the Holy Spirit and God's Word.

about our proximity to God s5e168

In the grand tapestry of our lives, understanding our proximity to God forms a vital thread that ties together our experiences, beliefs, and actions. The journey of spiritual discovery is deeply personal, characterized by an ongoing dialogue between the self and the divine—a dialogue facilitated through prayer, meditation, and scripture.

The Christian faith invites us to constantly nurture and explore our relationship with God. Below, we delve into a series of introspective questions, each paired with a pertinent Bible verse to guide your reflection.
