  • about the importance of commandment keeping s3e141

    So often pejoratives such as "pharisee" and "legalist" are thrown around in accusation of folk who are trying to live life by the commandments of God. One might wonder, just how important is commandment keeping? After all, is not God gracious and loving? I hope you are edified and informed.

  • about offering the invitation s3e139

    A good question was posed about the efficacy and necessity of offering the invitation after the homily of the Sunday worship service. I discuss just that because I think that the question gets at the heart of another matter. Take a listen and let me know what you think.

  • about rethinking a reaction s3e138

    A meme came across my timeline that really seemed....off. My knee-jerk reaction was, this is terrible and misleading. However, the more I thought about it I came to realize, not only, that I agree with it, but have released content teaching the same message. Take a listen to the episode and see if you draw the same conclusion as I. Also, go to the We Talk Truth group for the meme, I stole it and shared it there.

  • about normalcy bias, they want your kids

    This episode is within a theme of content that I have produced lately. It is from an article put out by Focus Press. It is hard hitting and hard to swallow. It is easier to stay quiet and keep our head in the and than to do anything proactive, the problem is that we are called to act by Jesus. I hope we wake up before It is too late. 

     

    Here is the article I read in the episode:

  • about the vaccine...again s3e135

    Ok, folks, this might be a difficult one to hear. I received an email from a listener asking about whether or not it is sin to get the COVID vaccine. I have heard some brethren teaching that it is a sin to get the vaccine because it was developed using fetal stem cells and that it is a sin to benefit from something that harms another. I hope this episode edifies and informs.

  • about Christianity vs Socialism s3e134

    The question is posed, Why when Jesus talks about feeding the poor it is called, Christianity, but when a politician does it it it called, Socialism? Well, that shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Jesus' teaching. In this episode we explore this idea some. I hope you are edified.

  • about vaccines and segregation s3e132

    I saw a good post online from a brother in Christ who is in New Zealand/Australia. I thought what he said was eloquent and to the point. I hope in my ramblings I say something in this episode that will cause you to think about what is going on around you and will cause you to treat your brothers and sisters in Christ better regardless of what side of the issue you are. 

    Here is the post:

    STOP SEGREGATION

    I urge the people of New Zealand, Australia and the world to say no!
    Let us not be driven apart by a divisive narrative setting those who are jabbed against those who are not.   This threatens families, loved ones, friends, communities and individuals.
    Without judgment on who chooses or chose not to have the “jab”.  Whatever your choice, realise that the narrative is not all it seems to be.
    If the jab worked it would mean that the jabbed ones would be protected, even though the opposite is proving true.
    How despicable it is to start to attack and degrade honest and loyal citizens based upon a trial “jab” status.
    Together we can stand but divided we will all fall to tyranny and oppression.
    The survival rates for this virus are extremely high generally and preventative measures are proving effectual.
    Regardless of what those who seek to control decide, let us say no to segregation and fear mongering.   Let us pray and choose against segregation.
    The world is quickly heading down a dark road but we can change that by being united.   Police, lawyers, judges, citizens, families, doctors, nurses, all… let us say no to turning on each other.
    Unite in prayer and in refusing to segregate and incapacitate our fellow man.   Think about your choices and how they will impact the future for all people.
    Let us pray amd fast about such a huge threat facing the world.
    Blessings
