God's Everlasting Word

What would you say if someone told you there were mistakes in the Bible? We're not referring to mistakes in the different versions and various modern translations. We're talking bailout mistakes in the Bible itself. Well, there ARE mistakes in the Bible...and we'll examine some of them in today's episode.

Since Christ is the only Savior, His way is the only way, His church is the only church, and His plan is the only plan, it is wise for us to consider the what, the who, the where, and the why, when it comes to our salvation. What does the Bible say?

A lot of people believe what they do religiously because of what their preacher has told them. Certainly, there a preachers who preach the truth, but many others will just preach some truth, while taking from and adding to the scriptures to fit their own beliefs or doctrines. I call it, "Preacher Hoodooism," which is also the title of today's episode.

From the Old Testament through the New, God tells us that Judgment Day is coming. Eccl. 12:14 warns that He “shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” Hebrews 9:27 says “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” And those are only some of the passages in the Bible that tell us about a day that will be wonderful for those who are ready for it, and an awful and terrible day for those who aren’t. What will happen and what will it be like? What does the Bible say?

Have you ever thought about the difference in the way preaching was done years ago and how much of it is done that way today? So many people today say they just want positive preaching...and quite a few preachers give them exactly what they want to hear. But is that how God wants it? What does the Bible say?

There’s a popular saying that goes, “Sitting in a church pew doesn’t make you a Christian any more than sitting in a garage makes you a car.” That’s very true. But skipping church services doesn’t make you a good Christian, either. And yet, more and more people are attending less and less. Oh, they might come to worship on Sunday morning, but see no importance in attending Sunday and Wednesday nights. What about that? Is attendance at worship services necessary? What does the Bible say?

In the great commission, Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel." In carrying out this commission, Paul said, "Woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel." To the church in Galatia, he said that if an angel should preach any other gospel, he would be accursed. He also stated that the gospel is God's power unto salvation to all who believe it. So, with these guides to direct us and prohibitions to protect us, Christians will earnestly contend that the gospel is God's only saving power, that nothing but the gospel must be preached, and that there is no hope for anyone doesn't obey the gospel. But there seems to be trouble with that word, "Go," in Mark 16:15. There's seems to be a lot of zeal for what Jesus commanded...but sometimes, I'm afraid we have trouble with that word, "Go." But, isn't it just as important as being baptized? What does the Bible say?

When it comes to religion, are we justified in using any means to achieve a goal, provided that we believe the end result will be good?  Does the end justify the means? What do the Scriptures teach about obedience to Bible authority and how it relates when it comes to worship and the work of the church? That's the topic of today's episode.

How many different types of churches are there in the world? Or maybe I should put it this way -- how many kinds of churches that claim to practice Christianity exist on earth? The correct answer is a difficult one, because some people say that we have over 30-thousand different denominations around the world, while other sources tell us that the actual number is a little under 2-thousand. Regardless of these numbers, people never seem to understand the fact that, according to the Bible, Jesus only built one church...and, for some reason, those in the religious world just can't seem to get their head around that. So, for today's episode, I want us to take a look at, "The Church That Jesus Built."

From the beginning, the church of Christ has held out to the world that the Bible is our only guide. The apostle Peter, the man who first preached the gospel on the day of Pentecost, said, "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God." Alexander Campbell said, "We speak where the Bible speaks, and are silent where the Bible is silent." And so, it is very important that we know how to study the Bible, so that we can understand it in order for it to guide us from earth to heaven. And that's the topic of today's episode -- "The Bible, Our Only Guide."
