Am I really saved? Am I really a child of God? What am I basing my assurance on? We must make sure that we are not just living on imagination. Men and women are very prone to fall in love with the fictions of their imaginations and stumble right off into hell over them. Your trust in God, and what you expect Him to do for you, must be based on truth and not on imagination. And the only reliable and infallible source of truth is the written Word of God.

(1) Israel at War 5/18/25: Update on Hostage negotiations as Hamas gives the appearance of being willing to negotiate as the IDF pounds them into submission. We also play a video clip of another American student explaining the reality of the Palestinian FICTIONAL narrative. (2) We show the various pagan mosques, idols, etc., "pock-marking" the land of America. (3) We address questions about "de plane" gift to the U.S. government. (4) Man's obsession with gold is demonstrated by attempts to produce it by alternate means. We submit the possibility that this is due to an inherent sense that our God has a city of Gold prepared for His children! https://bbfohio.com

Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow review House of David and The Chosen, considering the risk factors in watching these shows. It's important to distinguish between historical facts and made-up fiction. We must always return to God's Word as the authority on all things. In addition, is it appropriate to portray Jesus in the visual media? What does the Bible say about this?

(1) Israel at War 4/20/25: No change in hostage count as the war efforts continue and Mike Huckabee assumes the position of U.S. Ambassador to Israel. (2) Easter Sunday: They idea that the anniversary of the resurrection of Jesus lands on a Sunday each year is a myth. The name of "Easter" is a sad reality of history and our English Language. But we emphasize the facts of the actual anniversary of the Crucifixion on Nisan 14 (which was April 12th this year) and the anniversary of the bodily resurrection of Jesus after three days and three nights on Nisan 18 (which was April 16th this year). Jesus rose from the dead nearly 1,995 to 2,000 years ago on a Sunday. But Nisan 18 does not land on a Sunday every year. The resurrection of Jesus is historical FACT! And all of this religious fiction and false teachings and false practices delute the truth from the sight and hears of believers and non-believers alike. But we DO thank God for all who preach the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for salvation, even if it is connected to a false "Good Friday" claim (Jesus died on a Wednesday) and a false annual Easter holiday. https://bbfohio.com

The sermon confronts the modern objection that hell is a fictional construct invented by religion to manipulate people, affirming instead that the biblical teaching of hell is a real, eternal reality grounded in divine justice and not human fear-mongering. It distinguishes true biblical Christianity—rooted in God's love, grace, and the historical reliability of Scripture—from man-made religions that use fear for control, emphasizing that the gospel is not about coercion but about a loving relationship with Christ. Drawing from Revelation's vivid imagery of the final judgment and the lake of fire, the sermon argues that hell's reality is confirmed by Scripture, human conscience, and the world's pervasive fascination with it, while exposing Satan's deceptive strategy in promoting disbelief. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to repent and believe, inviting them to come freely to Christ, the only source of eternal life, and warning that rejecting this invitation is not ignorance but willful rebellion against God's mercy, with eternal consequences.

(1) Israel at War 2/5/25 Waiting for more hostages to be released, we discuss Trump's talking point of owning "Gaza Lago" and other pertinent information... (2) Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett puts her D.E.I. racism on full display and we challenge her "facts". And we discuss the D.O.G.E. reform at U.S.A.I.D. https://bbfohio.com

Still on the run, David and his small company were protected as they hid among Saul's enemies and moved as the Lord directed. God alone kept David safe from harm—a protection that is also ours when we run to Jesus for spiritual refuge.
