Our world is full of pain and suffering.  Why would God lay upon us the additional burden of "rejoicing always"?

There’s no shortage of offensive song lyrics in the world and heretical song lyrics in the church!  In this episode we listen to an example for which I am personally culpable.

In this episode I look at the distinctions of wisdom, understanding and knowledge.  

 

"for wisdom is better than jewels,

and all that you may desire cannot compare with her." (Pr. 8:11)

 

"test everything; hold fast what is good." (I Thes. 5:21)

Have you ever felt like God was punishing you for something you did?  I have another question for you. . . keep listening. :)

We’re just one idea away from changing the world.

 

Covid19 is erasing the past decade of progress in the fight against extreme poverty (measured in several tiers: people living on $1.90/day, $3.20/day and $5.50/day).

 

Church, this is our moment!  Crises are our speciality.  The answers are in the Kingdom of God—how is God leading us to manifest His goodness to the world?

"What is your only comfort in life and death?  

That I am not my own, but belong—body and soul,in life and in death—to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ."

 

"If your intellect is freed from all hope in things visible, this is a sign that sin has died in you. If your intellect is freed, the breach between it and God is eliminated. If your intellect is freed from all its enemies and attains the Sabbath rest, it lives in another age, a new age in which it contemplates things new and undecaying."

 

"Set your minds on things that are above. . . ."

 

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. . . ."

Why does the God of the Old Testament seem so different from Jesus in the New Testament?  In this episode we contrast Shavuot and Pentecost to try and shed some light on this question.

In this episode I share some things I’ve learned about the vocation of an artist from Dr. W. David O. Taylor.
