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.

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.

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.
