We delve into blessings and the plan of God from BEFORE the foundations of the world. This phrase is found three times in what we call the New Testament and it reveals an absolutely glorious truth about the wonders of God's grace and love and his plan for the current age. But so much of Christendom prefers to wallow in the shadows, puffed up as they ignore unsearchable blessings before them if they would only enter in.

We look a little more closely about walking in the spirit and walking according to the calling to which we've been called in this age. To do this properly, we must rightly divide the word of truth, compare thing that differ, an act on the truths we find. What's the deal with angels in this age? Earthly ordinances like baptism and the Lord's Supper? When you have the unsearchable riches of Christ, the things of earth grow strangely dim. Finally, you don't need a building for any of this.

Today, we examine the words translated "hell" in your KJV and who exactly will be weeping and gnashing their teeth. No, God does not run a torture chamber of unspeakable horror for the mass of his creation. To appreciate the resurrection, we must understand the enemy. Our enemy is death and decay. We shall surely die and we shall return to dust. That is what awaits humanity.

We continue our distinction between political ideals and the reality of policy for the Christian. But more importantly, we continue to find our place in scripture. We examine exactly when the current age started and discover the Acts Age was the end of something, not the beginning. We have a much higher calling today.

A brief commentary on the Don Quixote complex sweeping through the culture, then we move in to finding our place in scripture. This will be part one of a study on the present age and how it differs in many ways from all other callings in scripture. Part of our judgment as servants will be obedience to walk in the calling to which we have been called.

We come back to warn Christians in particular to not get hooked on the drug "Utopia." This is a gateway drug to the much harsher, society-destroying drug Collectivism. We pull back the veneer on the Peace and Love movement (with a little help from our friend, George Harrison). And, finally, we encourage Christians to prepare for the ugly days ahead by familiarizing ourselves with prophecy.

We visit, hopefully for the last time, the recent unpleasantness. But out of the ashes, we look again at the future. We re-center ourselves. Remember, nothing can thwart the plan of God for the ages. We just have to stomach some things as we wait. And as we wait, it is good to remember we have work do. A judgment of service awaits us. Let's try to focus on that eventuality as we encourage our Christian brothers and sisters in this time of decay.

To my listening audience of zero, I'll save you some time on this one... if you're voting for Utopia, or for some sort "against hate!" reasoning, you do NOT want to listen to this podcast. DO NOT LISTEN. Save yourself and me some grief and move on to Deepak Chopra's podcast. He's not as snarky. All murderous governments start off with a promise of Utopia as they demonize the opposition (usually via projection and scape goats). Selling Utopia has left earth's landscape scarred with mass graves and ruined civilizations. Elections should be about issues, not misplaced and intoxicating promises of Utopia (if you'll just hand over your lives to them!). We must avoid speaking in absolutes when it comes to government. One cannot argue against absolutes. If you're a brave soul who chooses to live in Realsville, I've tacked on a terrible demo of my anti-Utopia song "Dream a Little Dream." Apologies ahead of time. This is no joke. When they say they want to kill you, believe them.
