Ep 105 | Candace Cameron Bure Suffers for Christ

After finishing the book of 1 Peter and being reminded that we should rejoice when suffering, along comes a real life example for Christians to witness. 

Candace Cameron Bure is an unapologetic Christian; one who has, over the years, promoted faith in Christ and pure doctrine. She recently made a very positive statement about marriage that was interpreted as a slam against the LGBTQIA+ community; this couldn't be further from the truth. 

The criticisms that she has received are an example of what will happen if you are a Christian and you stand firmly on God's revealed Word. Are you prepared to stand as she has stood? 

Ep 104 | After Death: Burial or Cremation?

Today I examine the Biblical perspective on whether believers should be buried or cremated after they die. 

What Biblical principles inform this decision? Does the Bible say specifically what believers should do? Answers to these questions and more are answered in the episode. 

Ep 103 | What Shapes Your Vote?

As the United States prepares to go to the polls to elect a new group of leaders, what should Christians consider as they vote for various candidates? Should Christians even vote at all? Listen for some intriguing answers!

Ep 102 | The Ordinance of Rest in the New Testament

What does the creation ordinance of rest look like in the church age? How does it apply differently to the church than to the Nation of Israel? 

This episode explores the answers to those questions along with challenging the listener to rethink how we view "Sunday rest" in light of certain obstacles faced by modern day culture and society. 

Ep. 101 | The Sabbath and the Creation Ordinance of Rest

What is the relationship of the Sabbath to the creation ordinance of rest? Is the Sabbath for Christians today? 

In this episode, I argue that the Sabbath is specifically for the nation of Israel and that, though it is based upon the day of rest, it is not commanded for the church. 

Ep. 100 | The Ordinance of Rest

What is the ordinance of rest? Why did God need to rest - and what did He do during his rest? 

The "rest day" is an important part of the natural cycle of life that God established for mankind. 

The rest day has been both blessed and sanctified by God - what does this mean? 

Do you practice a rest day? 

Ep. 99 | The Ordinance of Labor, part 2

Finally, after 2 long months, part 2 on the creation ordinance of labor! 

This episode examines the morality of labor, the benefits of labor, and some of the consequences of NOT performing labor. Enjoy!

Ep. 98 | The Creation Ordinance of Labor (Work)

Back to the creation ordinances! 

Today's episode examines the ordinance of "labor" or "work" found in Genesis 1 and 2. 

Ep. 97 | Root Causes of Mass Shootings

This episode examines three reasons why people commit mass shootings, and also looks at how these same reasons may contribute to lackluster police response to the shootings (especially in the case of the Uvalde Police Department). 

Finally, a Biblical solution and prayer request for our nation is offered in the third segment. 

Ep. 96 | Russia, Ukraine, and Submission to Authority

Since the last few episodes have focused on the creation ordinance of authority and dominion,  it seemed wise to try to apply the truths about submission to authority and honoring government authorities to the situation in Russia and Ukraine. 

Please remember that this is a suggestion of how to apply these truths, without having a complete and exhaustive understanding of the laws in either country. The goal is to help you think about how you can submit to the governing authorities that you live under to the glory of Christ.
