"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.

Disease, chaos, violence, immorality all on the loose. The world today (fueled by modern technology) is as wicked as it's ever been and perhaps worse. So, if we are looking at the last days, what does that mean for the Christian?

In Philippians chapter 3, Paul is working towards the Prize of the High Calling. Our Apostle wants to attain a special resurrection. We know resurrection life is a free gift by grace alone through faith alone, so what does Paul hope to attain? Professed Christians who don't know if they even have life spend their time trying to earn the free gift and those who believe they have the gift think the only thing left to do is to worry about things like baptism, ordinances, music styles, and who wears a tie. They are all missing the blessing available to those who understand the Mystery and run the race set before them.

Recent events have some pastors self-flagellating and dragging their congregations along for the ride. They want to make sure the whole world knows how virtuous they are, so they join the chorus of anti-American rhetoric. Instead of appealing to the biblical answer, every person is to be treated as an individual and each is individually responsible before God, pastors put people in groups and cry crocodile tears over their own "privilege" with one eye open waiting for the adulation and pats on the back coming from the world. It's time we stood up and tell them we won't play their game.

This podcast we revisit the sacred keepers of the Sacred Tradition... Reformation Charlotte? Apparently they missed one of the primary points of the Reformation. We then turn our attention to Bible translations and the KJV. On the one hand, we have silly translations like The Message, and on the other, we have the odd position of King James Bible Onlyism. I always seem to end up on an island in the middle of these extremes. It can get lonely, so feel free to suggest this podcast to friends, enemies, strangers, or anyone who just likes Italians.
