Cogitations

This episode is a viewer request. Does the Bible teach that everything someone does is worship? In this episode we discuss what constitutes worship and discuss the difference between service and worship. If you like what we do and want to support it, www.patreon.com/nearcurches

With all the talk about particular academic pursuits I wonder if we have skewed our priorities? What of the man who is in the world trying to be a good husband, father, employee? Is his life greatly affected by these pursuits? What if we just teach him what the grace of God that has appeared unto all men, how to live soberly, righteously, and godly?

In the 100th episode I sort of pay homage to the WTT group. After all, without the WTT group there would be no Cogitations podcast. The discussion is about what the WTT group was started and the good it has done and the purpose of it. Hope you enjoy.

A question was asked the other day in the WTT group concerning folk who are mentally handicapped. How can they be saved if they can't understand the Bible? That is a very good question. Not only do we discuss this in this episode but we also get into a question from a live viewer about whether or not one who has never heard the gospel will be in heaven. If you like what we do and want to help, www.patreon.com/nearchurches

So often do I hear lessons and see conversations online about what we must do in order to be saved that I am afraid we neglect what we must know. It may be no wonder that we are accused of teaching a works salvation.

How important is it to do things God's way? To hear some, the answer is, not very. In this episode I discuss the problem of this way of thinking. Is it all that serious the we fudge a little on the details as long as we get the big picture stuff? If you like what we do and want to help, www.patreon.com/nearcurches

This episode touches on how to be like Jesus when we see or hear a question. Do we impugn the motives of the asker or the validity of the question itself? Take a listen to this episode and let me know what you think. www.patreon.com/nearchurches

I didn't know what to call this episode so I called it, about emotionalism. In this episode I cogitate about the way I see folk who claim christendom interact with one another when they disagree. Just because someone may be an enemy of the cross does not mean they are my enemy. Listen and let me know what you think. We are going to have another promotional giveaway for the podcast. It will be epic. It will be exclusively for the patrons. You can become a patron at www.patreon.com/nearcnurches

Marriage, divorce, and remarriage (MDR) is an emotionally charged doctrine. Sometimes we have to take a stand against people teaching error. In this episode I talk about some error being taught and we look at what Jesus said. Listen all the way to the end when I speak very briefly about Romans 7:1-3.If you like what we do and want to help, www.patreon.com/nearchurches

Inspired by a listener comment, in this episode we discuss Jesus. Do you want to know more about Jesus? This episode is not nearly sufficient. Read and read the gospel accounts in the New Testament. This episode of Cogitations is just some of my musings. I hope you are edified.
