Apologetics on SermonAudio

This study addresses the objection that God is unjust for commanding the destruction of the Canaanites and Amalekites by arguing that these actions were acts of divine justice rather than genocide. It contends that human critics like Richard Dawkins lack a consistent moral standard within a naturalistic worldview to judge God's character. The study emphasizes that these nations had 400 years to repent but remained wicked, justifying their judgment under God's sovereign authority. By comparing this to the punishment of Israel and the destruction of Jerusalem, the text asserts that God applies the same standard of justice to His own people as He does to Gentiles. Ultimately, the message calls for submission to Scripture over human autonomy when evaluating difficult biblical accounts.

Science is a valuable tool for observing and understanding the natural world, but it was never intended to serve as humanity's ultimate authority. Scientism goes beyond scientific investigation by claiming that only what can be measured, tested, or observed can be considered true. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains the difference between science and scientism, the limits of scientific inquiry, and why scientism is ultimately a philosophical belief rather than a scientific conclusion. Science can help us understand how God's creation works, but it cannot answer ultimate questions about morality, meaning, purpose, or our existence. Christians must evaluate every claim through the truth of Scripture and remember that all truth ultimately comes from God.

New Age deception often borrows Christian language, quotes Bible verses, and speaks about Jesus while presenting teachings that contradict the Word of God. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Doreen Virtue identifies several warning signs of New Age deception. She explains how New Age teachers promise healing, relationships, prosperity, success, and peace through simple spiritual methods. They may speak about Jesus while redefining Him as an enlightened teacher, a universal spiritual figure, or an example of "Christ consciousness." Christians must carefully examine every spiritual claim according to Scripture. True and lasting peace cannot be found through glorifying the self or searching for answers within. It is found only through the biblical Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For more from Contending for the Word Q&A, please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-qa/

In this episode of New Age to Christ, Doreen Virtue reflects on the truthfulness of God and the comfort believers have in knowing that God cannot lie. In a world marked by deception, betrayal, false teaching, and broken promises, Christians can rest in the God of truth. Doreen explains how God's character is perfectly trustworthy, how Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and how the Holy Spirit guides believers in truth. This episode especially encourages women who have been hurt by spiritual deception, New Age teaching, Word of Faith promises, betrayal, or unanswered prayer. God is not a genie or a vending machine. He is the Creator, Lord, and faithful Father who invites His people to pour out their hearts before Him and trust His wisdom, timing, and care.

Life changes constantly. Circumstances shift, people change, and uncertainty often surrounds us. Yet Scripture declares that God does not change. In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins explores the doctrine of God's immutability and explains why God's unchanging character provides believers with true stability in an unstable world. Looking at Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8, Dave shows how God's character, promises, and faithfulness remain constant in every season of life. Discover why Christians can stand firm—not because life is predictable, but because the God they trust never changes.
