Cogitations episodes

  • about paying the preacher cogs4e57
    This one is usually a hot topic. The fact of the matter is that preachers should be paid. In this episode we look at what Paul said on the topic and talk about a misconception concerning Paul practicing his liberty vs a congregation's obligation to someone sowing spiritual things.

  • about our assurance of faith s4e56
    "The fact that God gave us an advocate, in His Son, shows that He knew sin was a probability for us, even after we are saved (1 John 2:1).
     
    1 John 3:8-9, then, cannot mean that one who is saved, and commits a sin is not of God. “Commiteth” translates a present participle: meaning continual action.
    One who continues in sin is not of God, but by the same token, one who is of God, and commits a sin is not any less of God.
     
    The full assurance of salvation comes from a deep, deep well in the Bible.
    This proves that those who say “one sin will send you to hell”, out of an attempt to scare you, are dead wrong.
     
    This is no license to sin; willful sin is no “hamartia”, failure. Willful sin is a “parabaseos”; violation, literally fighting God. That’s a different situation.
    But when you, a Christian, fail; sin…there is immediate forgiveness (1 John 1:7-10)."The above words are from a post from a good friend and brother, Tyler Jenkins. This is a. topic about which  I am passionate and it needs to be noised abroad. I hope I say something in this episode today to make you feel more assured in your walk in Christ and your salvation as a whole.

  • about good and evil in relation to politics s4e55
    This one will undoubtedly step on some toes. I hope it does. For years the demarcations between good and evil and between the right wing and left wing political ideologies have been creeping closer and closer. My friends, I believe they are now so close as to be indistinguishable. Thats right, the agenda, self proclaimed, of the liberal left in western culture is promising to separate a generation of children away from their parents by murder or indoctrination. They have said it for years through comedy and parody and no one paid attention. I have put out content before about optimism bias and normalcy bias. It is time to dig deep and make changes. To all those who say, we shouldn't be trying to influence the political sphere as Christians, I say, the remedy for the political sphere is now simply the great commission. It is time for Christians to stand up and take back the culture. We need to circle and wagons around our young people and protect them from these evil people.  The only way this happens is if we come to terms with the world and how this is no longer a matter of loping debate but a war between good and evil.

  • about my naivety s4e54

    This is one I have been cogitating on for awhile. I think back to my youth and some of the arguments for removing the Bible and prayer from school. I can not believe how naive I and so many were. We actually thought it would not cause problems down the road.

  • about the world crumbling down s4e53

    These are some thoughts I had after talking to a friend of mine about a very familiar text in Matthew. Are you building your house on the rock? Are you part of THE house built on the rock?

  • about theology s4e52

    I am in no way denigrating a systemic study of theology. That being said, just listen to my thoughts here and let me know if through my ramblings a point comes through about being simple in our approach to understanding Scripture.

    This episode is the audio from the livestream I produce on Tuesday night at 9PM ADT for DigitalBibleStudy.org that streams on their Facebook page. This was a needed discussion and, as always, when this topic is discussed live it lends itself to being covered more thoroughly. I hope you enjoy.

  • about speaking the truth in love s4e49

     My thoughts in this episode were sparked by a post I read online and an article from Focus Press. I have been saying for years that our pulpits have been focused on a pseudo type of love with is just niceness masquerading as godly love. Take a listen and let me know what you think. 

    Here is the sermon I mentioned in the episode

  • about Paul’s desire for those whom he loved s4e48

    This episodes comes from the book of Philippians. In my daily reading a thought struck me from chapter four  and verse one. I hope you come away as edified and encouraged as I after you hear this.
