On today's podcast we meander through my random thoughts on baseball. Couple of stories from playing the game to my place as a Phillies fan (in the will of the Lord).

I pause on today's podcast to reflect on the blessings of family. After selling the home my family has owned since 1983, I wanted to pause and reflect on just how fortunate and blessed I was to be the youngest member of the Scotto Famiglia (essere di buona famiglia!). We'll be back to kvetching soon.

Still podcasting from the cave after bugging out! Today, we look at nine different commonly used words in Christendom which require us to be a little more careful in our use and application. Baptism, Salvation, Kingdom, Old/New Testament, Hell. Lord's Day, Resurrection, Condemnation, and Justification.

I'm coming to you from a remote location on a cheap microphone! But we must carry on! I start today with a few comments about the show MASH. We then move on and I go a little deeper into why I don't believe water baptism and the Lord's Supper are for the current age. It all hinges on the place of the Book of Acts in scripture. We go from Korea to Jerusalem! Along the way, I grumble about Charles Stanley and our local Episcopal Church.

We all have been given the ministry of reconciliation. That is, we must tell the world that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself. He is not holding anyone sins against him because his work was complete! The duty of man is to be reconciled to God, by grace, through faith. We examine how we can be his witnesses by simply allowing the Spirit of God to work through our spirit, our new nature.

I make a small correction from a previous podcast (just a slip of the tongue) and we talk a little more about The Day of the Lord (The Lord's Day). Then we take up the topic of the free gift of Life because of God's Grace and Love. Technically, we are not saved by our faith, we are saved by God's Grace!

"I don't need anything except the Lord! Oh, I need this." Christendom is full of traditions and rules that weigh men down and draw them away from Christ and the Word of Truth. This podcast was recorded a couple of weeks ago, and I decided, despite some things which may not go over well, that the main message is important. This message includes my early experiences with contemporary Christian music as well.

Kind of a catch-all today. I wanted to say a quick word about The Parable of the Sower, a quick comment on the Sabbath, and a less than quick comment on Paul McCartney's Tug of War LP and the Summer of 1982 in light of the Christian's future hope and glorification in resurrection. How's that for a podcast!

We briefly try to pull back from rash emotionalism and discuss current events from a Christian perspective. We then move in to my contention that there are two different periods represented in Daniel 9. The 70 weeks split into 7-62-1 dating from the call to rebuild Jerusalem (454 BC) and the 70 weeks starting with the dedication of the Temple (405BC). The first points us to the Christ's sacrifice and the Tribulation, the latter does as well, but includes the call for Israel to repent in the Book of Acts.
