This episode's topic is because of a conversation I had with a dear friend. He is wanting to do more online. I would encourage everyone to do more for Jesus in any way they can. It just so happens that online is the easiest way to reach masses of people. Take a listen to this episode and let me know what you think.

Folks, I communicate with allot of different people from allot of different walks of life VERY often.

This is the second part of the episode from the other day. The questions on the table is, does God do miracles today. Many think that those who teach that He does not put Him in a box. In this episode we show this to be opposite and that those who teach that God performs miracles are actually the ones putting Him in a box and limiting His magnificent power.

I know...I have done this episode before. Well, it needs to be done again. We need to revisit certain topics from time to time. This was a listener request. There is so much confusion out there about water baptism and what it does and why. Take a listen to this episode of Cogitation the set me know what you think. My position is that water baptism is necessary for salvation and one who is not properly baptized according to the guidelines set forth in Scripture will not spend eternity in heaven. Let me know what conclusion you draw.

The legitimacy of modern miracles seems always to be a topic of discussion when people gather who believe in God. In this episode of Cogitations we look at what the Bible says. The Bible has much to say on the issue.

This episode is an answer to a listener question. How do we start a conversation with a complete stranger about Jesus? Well, we don't. I know that sounds weird or counterintuitive, however, the idea is we make strangers into acquaintances, then we build from there.

This episode is in answer to a question posed in the We Talk Truth group. It was intended to focus on withdrawal of fellowship of the guilty party in a divorce situation or from a couple who were in an adulterous relationship but ended up being a podcast about church discipline in general. All the principles can be applied to anyone in sin who is trying to set themselves forth in the community as in a right relationship with God through Jesus.

We have been talking about lust and sin. In this episode we look at the idea of how our minds work with our actions to produce sin. We are to conform to the Word of God not to the world. Paul said to make no provision for the lust of the flesh. Listen to this epidote of Cogitations to hear some practical suggestions on this subject.

Yesterday's podcast seemed to trigger some folk. So, in today's we talk about lust. Is lust actually sinful? Did Jesus lust? Take a listen and lets see what the Bible says.

Is it a sin to be attracted to members of the same sex? For that matter, is it a sin to be attracted to members of any sex? So many times we place standards on people that God has not. Listen to this episode of Cogitations and let me know what you think. Can we convert people who are living a LGBTQ+ lifestyle while saying that they are sinful even if they stop living the lifestyle?
