Cancel Culture and the Gospel of Matthew

This is the life story of my friend from college, and how he came to depend on God.  It has a lot of twists and turns in the journey to his faith.  Because the entire interview went way over the time limits allowed when this episode was hosted on anchor i had to split it into two episodes but now this is unnecessary so this is the entire recording instead of two parts, the conclusion - part 2 is now included here so the separate episode is now unnecessary.  This is the first episode of season 2 of this podcast.  Here is his webpage and links to his podcast:  https://www.fifo4real.ca/

This is based on Matt 25:31-46 parable of the sheep and the goats.  This is an explanation of God's universal judgment that will be made on all of our lives when we stand before His throne, and on what basis we will be cancelled.  This is the last episode of season 1 that finishes all topics planned for the parables of Matthew. 

Matthew 25:13-30 parable of the Talents tells us much about God will settle accounts with us at the end of our life.  This parable explains the basis of how God will judge the value of our lives and what we did with them.  

This is the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-12.  This parable is about the church age and tells us on what basis we will be canceled at 2nd coming of Jesus.  This parable builds on the two previous ones, the parable of the weeds and the parable of the wedding banquet.  This is a very brief study of the parable with some gospel music attached.   There is also some guest commentary on this episode at about 5 minutes or so my cat Shamu disagrees with some my interpretations of the verses and voices his disapproval.  Enjoy

The parable of the Wedding Banquet in Matthew 22 is a good companion to the previous parable of the Weeds in Matthew 13.  This parable is very important because it contains the requirement for salvation, and explains who will and won't reach heaven in the simplest and most direct terms.  Sorry about the audio quality, I had a lot of problems recording that day.  Thank you for listening, I hope you enjoy the episode.

Matthew 13's parable of the weeds explains aspects of the progression of apostasy in the church throughout the centuries and of its final separation and judgment of the apostates.  This is one of only two parables in the gospels explained by Jesus, so it therefore must be important. The parable describes a long process of infiltration and then subversion of the church, which can be see through study of history. This parable is one of many that tell us who will be canceled, despite church membership or performing so-called good deeds.  Matthew 13 contains three important parables, similar in content to each other, all of which will be discussed briefly in their explanation of human accountability to God.  I have made a video of some of the content mentioned here on the internet archive, here is the link below:

also a youtube version:

The book of Ruth is one of the most uplifting messages of the Old Testament.  It has a lot of content that is just as reassuring today as it was thousands of years ago.  The story shows God's love for the forgotten and destitute and Him watching over and providing for in their lives.  Hopefully you enjoy this episode.

This is my first podcast, sorry for the mistakes.  In Matt 7:1-2, Jesus tells us what will cause us to be canceled at the final judgment.  This and a few similar sections of scripture will be discussed in this episode.  At the throne judgment Jesus decides who will be canceled. This is a Rev Harold Salem style message.  I've uploaded a newer version with some of the mistakes fixed, but all of season 1 was recorded with a very cheap old laptop microphone because that's all I had so i wasn't able to remove all the background noise.  Thanks for listening.
