A Word About God

Reaching out from self-quarantine, Nate tries to speak some peace and encouragement to believers around the world. He also probably laughs too hard at the complete and utter nonsense of Kenneth Copeland trying to scream at COVID-19. Stay safe and healthy out there world! Praying for not only a speedy deliverance from all of this, but also that while you are spending time alone or with family, that you are making the most of it. 

In this episode Nate responds to YOUR Bible and theology questions! If your question hasn't been answered yet, please don't be angry. Nate can't handle letting people down, and besides, he'll get to it eventually. 

In this episode, Nate touches on how the death of Kobe Bryant should cause us all to evaluate not just our life now, but what will happen when our lives end. Nate also gives some pointers for getting more out of your Bible study. Whether it's your own personal devotions, or you are preparing a sermon or a Bible teaching, hopefully these pointers will help get you unstuck if you feel like you're in a rut. 

In the wake of the whole MacArthur vs. Moore showdown, there has been a lot of fiery discussion about the Biblical role of women in the church. Unfortunately, a bunch of people have been focusing on the wrong issues, and arguing about things that aren't even part of the discussion. Nate lays out some helpful Scriptures and interpretations that might point us in the right direction. 

In this episode, Nate talks about the throwdown between John MacArthur and Beth Moore (or, more accurately, between John MacArthur fans and Beth Moore fans). He also wraps up the series on the Doctrines of Grace with one of the most encouraging realities in our Christian life: the Perseverance of the Saints.

In this episode, Nate hits on the topic of Irresistible Grace and how it's not only Biblical, but wonderful, encouraging and should be the main driving force behind our evangelism. God's grace upon His people is undeserved and unearned, and that's what makes it amazing grace. I'm sure there are other things that Nate talks about in this episode, but it's been a while since it was recorded, so you're going to have to take my word on it. 

This week Nate tackles the oftentimes controversial topic of Limited Atonement. He also mentions that Christians need to stop saying that people rejecting their faith are going through a "hard time"-it's actually one of the easiest things you could do. Reviewed this week "Chosen by God" by R.C. Sproul and "Just Do Something" by Kevin DeYoung. 

In this episode Nate covers the "U" of TULIP, otherwise known as Unconditional Election. This continues the whole question of "How free is your will, really?" Nate also briefly touches on the whole Joshua Harris debacle and reviews "What Did You Expect?" by Paul David Tripp, and "Saving the Reformation" by W. Robert Godfrey.
