BeachCast.TV: Bible Exploration, Apologetics and Church History with Dr. Chase A. Thompson:

"Wives, submit to your husband," says one of the most controversial and disregarded Bible passages. Is this a command for modern days, or is it hopelessly outdated? Today we discuss Paul's commands to wives AND husbands, and find out that both have a very difficult mandate to live with, and a wonderful example to draw strength from.

Some people gravitate towards truth a little more and others have a personality that might make them stronger on the love side of things, but not quite as able to boldly speak truth. Which is more important for a Christian to embrace - love or truth? Plus: What should our spiritual response be when we are trapped in devastating circumstances?

There are dozens of prayers in the Bible - not just the Lord's prayer. When we read through these prayers we find some interesting facts: most prayers in the Bible don't start with 'Dear God,' and end with 'amen.' Digging deeper, we also find great insight into how to pray and what to prioritize in prayer. Today we learn how to pray from the Bible's apostolic prayers.

The Gospel (or, the good news) is the very centerpiece of Christian theology - pointing to salvation by grace (unearned) through faith (belief!) in Jesus and what Jesus did on the cross. Our faith doesn't save us, nor do works save us, but the work of Jesus saves us...so there is never a reason to boast, nor is there a reason to fear that we aren't good enough for eternal life in Heaven, because it is not our goodness that saves us, but the perfect goodness of Jesus.

Given the opportunity to ask for anything under the sun, Solomon chose to ask God for wisdom and discernment - the ability to lead well and choose rightly between good and evil. Today we discuss that decision and the great need for wisdom in 2020, when life has become as confusing as it could possibly be.
