Did God just decide to send Jesus to a select group? In this third installment of out look at Calvinism we induce the evidence from God's Word about atonement. IF man is totally depraved so God had to unconditionally elect some men then atonement MUST have been only for the elect. How does this doctrine hold up to scrutiny? If you like what we do consider becoming a patron: www.patreon.com/nearcurches

In the long ago angels and demons fought on the earth in this plane of existence. In my opinion this is one of the coolest things recorded in God's Word outside His scheme of redemption. The question is, do they still war in this world today? This question is answered in this episode of Cogitations. If you like what we do consider becoming a patron: www.patreon.com/nearchurches

Have you ever been told not to worry so much about your physical health but to be more focused on your spiritual health? Did the person telling you that use 1 Timothy 4:8 and say that bodily exercise profits little? Is that actually what that verse is teaching? In this episode of Cogitations we discuss just that, what this verse teaches. If you like what we do please consider becoming a patron: www.patreon.com/nearchurches

There is so much misconception about lying and deception. It is a sin, always in every situation, to lie. How do we define that term? Is it a sin to practice deception?

James chapter three and verse one contains an interesting turn of phrase. We are not to be many teachers. Why is that? Can I not teach the Bible? Is there something dangerous in being a Bible teacher? In this episode we talk about that. Why would the brother of Jesus who was inspired by the Holy Spirit write that we should be careful about not having too many teachers? We hope you listen and enjoy.If you like what we are doing and would like to make sure we continue producing content poles consider becoming a patron: www.patreon.com/nearchurches
