I think it was about the mid 90's there was a campaign called, "WWJD." The initials stood for "what would Jesus do." The idea was to remind young people in scenarios and situations to think about what they know about Jesus and do that. Jesus had a very strict set of values that motivated His actions. The WWJD campaign helped young people to adopt those values. 

In this episode of Cogitations we think about the profundity of such a simple campaign and explore the idea of WWJD. If you like what we do and want to be a part of it consider becoming a patron at www.patreon.com/nearchurches

In this episode, instead of dealing with one topic we deal with three. We talk about the purpose of the We Talk Truth group, a little about suicide and the loss of a loved one, and we answer a viewer question about being sad for folk who do not make heaven. We hope you enjoy. If you want to be a part of what we do, consider becoming a patron at www.patreon.com/nearchurches

So many folk are concerned with their final destination. An interesting discussion to have is about going to heaven or something called "Abraham's Bosom." What does the Bible teach on the subject? Is there a way to discern when we will go to heaven or not? Hopefully these questions are answered in this episode of Cogitations.If you like what we do and want to help, consider becoming a patron: www.patreon.com/nearchurches

Have you ever heard the phrase, you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar? It is truth. Also, it has entombed in it a good and biblical principle about the power of encouragement. God is the God of comfort. If is from His mind we understand the power of edification and comfort. If we want to build anything we must do it on the foundation of what we are for not what we are against. In this political climate so much is based on what folk are against. We need to change. This episode of Cogitations discuss just that. You can become a patron at www.patreon.com/nearchurches

So much in in the Bible about God's pure eyes. Today I develop a thought from a verse in 1 Peter: "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil" (1 Peter 3:12). knowing about God's pure eyes is important. There is a verse that seems to say that God has eyes so pure that He can not look upon iniquity. Is this true? If you like what we do, become a patron at: www.patreon.com/nearchurches Also, the article I mention in the podcast can be read here: Mercy and Grace

Mathew 7:6 is a problematic verse for some. What does it mean to not give that which is holy unto dogs or to not cast our pearls before swine? Hopefully this verse will have no more mystery once you listen to this podcast. We need to be careful of out time when being about the business of our Father. If you like what we do please consider becoming a patron at www.patreon.com/nearchurches

Many in Christendom teach that at the moment of faith one becomes a child of God and is saved from their sins. The Bible does not teach this at all. In this episode we look at exactly what the Bible teaches. Hopefully this will give you a new perspective on salvation and man's responsibility in it. If you like what we do consider becoming a patron at www.patreon.com/nearchurches
