This past Sunday morning, my pastor, Kevin Smith was preaching a sermon called Peaceful Warriors. He is preaching through the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. To be at peace is to be in harmony not only with each other but with God. To be a peacemaker is to be a mediator and try to resolve conflicts between separated parties whether it is an individual or a group. We make peace by identifying the truth and addressing the sin. I want you to know that peacemaking can be difficult work, but if we persevere in it, we will be called “sons and daughters of God. Let’s listen to Pastor Kevin's sermon Peaceful Warriors.  

The Beatitudes are not telling you how to become a Christian—they tell you what a true Christian looks like.
 
Everyone wants to be blessed. We want to be blessed in life, blessed in death, and blessed in eternity. In the Beatitudes, the Son of God tells us about the life that is blessed and about the people who are blessed. But Jesus does more than just describe a blessed life, He gives us a way to pursue it.

In his book Momentum, Colin Smith wants you to know that If you want to make strides in overcoming sin, growing in godliness, abounding in good works, and enjoying intimacy with the Lord, this book is for you.

Welcome to Biblical talks Encouraging Words for the week. I am Rachel Tolliver, Think about this Martyn  Lloyd- Jones once said, “The glory of the truly Christian man is that his head, as it were, is in heaven, but his feet are solidly on the earth. He has this perfect balance – eagerness and patient endurance! Saints we must learn to live on heavenly side and look at things from above. Such a perspective enables us to view them as if we are right now seated with Him, (as indeed  we are in heavenly places) we can live a victorious Christian life.

Can we truly claim to be without sin, or are we fooling ourselves in the worst way possible? Our latest episode brings Brother Tripp into a profound discussion about the raw honesty of 1 John 1:8-9, which challenges us to face our flaws and the necessity of confession. As we delve into the scripture, we confront the discomfort of acknowledging our own sinfulness—understanding it as more than just the odd lie here and there, but a deep-seated absence of truth that festers when we deny our imperfections. Brother Tripp lends his insight, echoing the biblical message that sin is an inescapable daily struggle, manifesting in even our most mundane actions and thoughts.

This episode isn't just about identifying sin—it's about the liberation found in confessing and aligning with God's perspective. Through the parable of the prodigal son, we explore the poignant journey from repentance to restoration, illustrating the continuous need for grace in our lives. We discuss the powerful transformation that comes with sincere confession; how it not only aligns our hearts with God's disdain for sin but also leads us back to the warmth of His embrace. We invite you to join us on this journey of healing, understanding that as we embrace the practice of confession, we are met with God's unwavering faithfulness and justice. Brother Tripp's wisdom is a beacon, guiding us through the necessity of confronting our darkest truths for the sake of spiritual growth and redemption.

Grapple with the concept of Christian Nationalism as we traverse its theological underpinnings and societal implications. Prepare for an enlightening journey through the challenges and opportunities that arise when faith intertwines with national identity. Joined by the insightful perspectives of Voddie Baucham, Tom Ascol, and William Wolfe, we dissect the delicate balance where Christian culture can enhance our spiritual journey without eclipsing the primacy of Christ's lordship. This episode promises to sharpen your understanding of how Christian values can influence society while guarding against the distortions of nationalistic fervor.

As Elder Michael Tolliver, I'm thrilled to lead you through an intricate discussion on the Baptist doctrine of church-state separation, the Biblical interpretation of civic obedience, and the church's role in discipling society. We scrutinize the tension between patriotism and resistance to authority, especially in a time of political and health crises. Our candid dialogue outlines the distinct spheres of family, church, and government authority, shedding light on their interconnected roles and the church's sovereign duty to guide without overreach.

Concluding our profound exploration, we encourage a revival of Christian ethos starting within our homes and local communities. Our episode underlines the importance of fostering a society that resonates with Christian values, confronting national sins like abortion and historical injustices, and the pressing need for spiritual renewal over political activism. Together, we examine whether a government structure can ever be divinely endorsed and how Christians can actively participate in public theology, resisting secular nationalism. Tune in for a deep dive into the ways we, as believers, can influence the public square while steadfastly upholding our faith.
