  • Does Prayer For People and Situations We've Never Seen Actually Work? #289
    In my youth, I used to frequently pray for the 'starving children in Africa.' Do such general prayers offered for people we've never seen or met actually have any impact, or are they just religious acts of emptiness? Today we discover that Paul devoted significant time praying for a group of Christians that he had never personally seen - what can learn about prayer from this practice of Paul?

  • Must Christians Agree on Everything? #288

    An argument has shaken the church at Philippi, and news of the disagreement reaches Paul, who writes back, urging the two combatants to AGREE. He doesn't say which one is write, or wrong - he makes no ruling on the source of the conflict, only commands agreement. As we study the New Testament, we find this command to agree repeated multiple times - MUST we be in agreement, and if so, then HOW?!

  • Is Strong Language Ever Appropriate? Are Our Best Efforts Actually σκύβαλον skýbalon/rubbish/poop?! @287 #theoneaboutcrap

    Today we discuss strong language and the Bible. It turns out that there are myriad examples of very strong and offensive (but not foul) language in the Bible, including Paul's use of a very strange Greek term in Philippians 3 that can best be translated as 'crap' or 'dung.' Why would Paul use language like this, and what important point was he making with such a strong word?

  • How Important is it to Be Wholehearted? #286 The Fall of Solomon

    Solomon was the wisest to ever live. Brilliant, blessed beyond measure and the son of a great and mighty man of God. He talked to God face to face at least twice, and led one of the greatest worship gatherings in the entire Bible. All of these advantages, and yet Solomon fell away from God in his old age. Why did Solomon fall away, and what can we learn from his fall that will help us to NOT fall away?

  • Why Did The Apostle Paul Want to Die? #285

    The Apostle Paul says an astounding thing in Philippians 1: That he would rather die and be with Jesus, than to live and stay on earth...he also talks about death as gain, and as a good thing. Most people - even most Christians - have a much less positive view of death. Was Paul crazy, or did he know something that most of us don't know?

  • Is God's Love and Favor Unconditional? #284

    Most people have heard that 'Agape' means 'God's unconditional love,' Is that true, or just another "preacher myth?" Today we discuss the nature of God's love for His people - does He love all unconditionally? The biblical answer is somewhat complicated...
