  • The Story of George Grenfell, Part 1 (155)

    In Episode 155, we discuss someone who has influenced me greatly. Have you ever heard the saying, "If you really want to fire up your Christian walk, read Christian biography of great Christian heroes of the past"? That's just what I did, and it led me to the extraordinary story of George Grenfell.

    George Grenfell's story intrigued me in Giants of the Missionary Trail, so I searched for his comprehensive biography. This book has magnificent photos of his work in Africa and is over a century old. I've lectured on him, and his narrative still resonates today. George Grenfell pioneered Africa's interior when few knew about it. His dedication to spreading the Gospel and helping the needy is admirable.

  • Theology AI (154)

    Episode 154 explores a fascinating topic - a pastor chatting theology with Artificial Intelligence. I recently did a webinar for our students at Veritas School and discussed different doctrines of theology with an AI called Chat GPT. With an explosion in artificial intelligence, Chat GPT is an amazing tool that can provide answers to questions and even write sermons!

    Although the transformer is not Christian, it can provide surprisingly good theological answers if you ask the right questions. Be amazed at some of the theological answers we got, and maybe even learn something new. Find out more about this explosive technology and how it can revolutionize how we think about church preaching.

  • More About Revival, Part 2 (153)

    We’re bringing one more episode on Revival today in Episode 153. We've been hearing incredible stories of transformation and the powerful movements of God. We've got an incredible story to share about Moody's experience including R.A. Torrey's description of his powerful experience.

    Revival can sometimes be intense and even a bit weird, but that's okay! We'll be referencing Spurgeon, Erwin Lutzer, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, and other respected figures who were not necessarily charismatic but still were open to the unusual things that could happen during the revival.

  • More About Revival, Part 1 (152)

    In Episode 152, we continue talking about revival and share quotes and stories I’ve collected over the years which I have never shared before. I also wanted to reference Charles Spurgeon’s book which was published way back in 1962.

    Spurgeon believed that revival was a work of God's sovereign grace and that it was something that could not be engineered or manipulated by human effort. He believed that revival was characterized by a deep sense of conviction and repentance and that it resulted in significant changes in behavior and a renewed focus on God.

  • Revival, Part 2 (151)

    In Episode 151, we continue with my sermon two years ago at Pathway Church, where I talked about a hot topic these days—The Revival. As Christians, revival refers to our spiritual rebirth. In other terms, revival is a renewed adoration and devotion towards God.

    Throughout the history of the church, revival has meant God’s work lifting us out of spiritual neglect and worldliness into judgment, sincere aspirations to receive more of Christ and his word, pureness of existence, blissful worship and a strong dedication to missions.

  • Revival, Part 1 (150)

    In Episode 150, we go way back to a sermon I did two years ago at Pathway Church where I talked about The Great Awakening and Revival. It was a response to society's secularization and the main churches' corporate and materialistic orientation.

    The Great Awakening halted the spread of Enlightenment rationality amongst a large number of colonists. Some members embraced the revival, while others rejected it, resulting in divisions among religious groupings.

  • The Canonicity of Scripture (149)

    In Episode 149, we talk about the canonicity of scripture. It refers to the process through which the books of the Bible were validated, clarified, and adopted by the early church leaders.

    God alone determines canonicity. A book is neither canonical nor authoritative because of its age, legitimacy, or religious community. A book is regarded important because it is canonical, and not because it is or was valued. God established the scriptures’ authority, and God's people only found it.

  • The Doctrine of Inerrancy (148)

    In Episode 148, we talk about the doctrine of inerrancy. When it comes to matters of faith and practice, the truth does matter, making the teaching of biblical inerrancy crucial. This question is essential to our grasp of the Bible because it reflects who God is.

    The Bible's "inerrancy" is a word. Inerrancy is a biblical reality, yet it's a theological phrase. Several theological terminologies used by Christians for millennia are not in Scripture. For instance, "Trinity." Trinity is not a scriptural phrase, yet it summarizes the Bible's view of God. In the same way, inerrancy describes the Bible's perfection.

  • The Grace Breakthrough, Part 3 (147)

    In Episode 147, we continue with our mini-series about the book I authored, Grace Breakthrough, and discuss the last chapter about ‘The Confidence Breakthrough’. An actual act of repentance involves a complete shift of perspective. We are moving to a new computer system. God's Spirit applies God's Word to His child, bringing about true repentance.

    As the Bible teaches, Repentance is never a different legalistic need for salvation. It's not that the Walking Dead can't do good, but instead that they can't handle having excessive behavioral expectations placed upon them. It does not include any actions taken by the individual to better themselves.

  • The Grace Breakthrough, Part 2 (146)

    In Episode 146, we continue talking about one of the Grace Breakthrough books I authored, Grace Breakthrough: Exploding the Lies that Wound Your Confidence and Joy (The Grace Awakening Trilogy). What exactly is grace? It seems to be a simple question, yet the answer has many diverse perspectives. We may all be ashamed to confess that we have difficulty understanding one of the most often-used terms in the church today.

    Grace is the word. We often hear it characterized as "undeserved favor" or "receiving something we don't deserve." Knowing that grace is merited and that we would be lost without it should humble us. And from that humility should spring an unwavering thankfulness exhibited through a faithful, obedient life.

    Tune in now, and let’s go bigger, better, and deeper!
