God's Everlasting Word

The Bible contains a long list of sad situations. We might think about Job’s lament before God in Job 1:20-21...maybe David’s sadness when he learned of the death of his son Absalom. Or in the New Testament, where Peter cried when he realized that he had denied the Lord, or Jesus’ sadness over the consequences of sin in the death of Lazarus. But I think David may have uttered the six saddest words in the Bible, over in Psalm 142. We’ll learn about those in today’s study, and discuss why we should never let them apply to us.

According to II Peter 3:10, the earth will one day come to a surprising and sudden end. It says, “The day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” The frightening thing, however, is not the way the earth is going to end, but what’s going to happen after it does.  Everyone one of us will be sent to one of two places -- heaven or hell. I want to go to heaven...I surely don’t want to go to hell. And I’ll explain why in today’s episode. Host:  Alan Caudle

We all want to go to heaven, and no one wants to end up in hell. But a lot of people seem to be unwilling to do the things God has told them to do in order to be saved and they will will end up missing Heaven. Why is that? What does the Bible say? Host:  Alan Caudle

What comes to mind when you think of the word, “gospel?” I wonder how many people really understand what it means...because, even if they say they’ve obeyed the gospel, it may not be the “gospel” as it’s presented in the Bible. They may be following an “unwritten gospel” -- one that’s not taught in the scriptures. Everyone needs to know what the gospel is and what it is not before they can be saved. Host:  Alan Caudle

Have you ever prayed to God and felt He didn’t answer your prayer? I’ve always heard it said that God does answer prayers, but He does so by saying, “Yes,” “No,” or “Wait awhile.” That may be true, but the fact remains that some prayers are simply not granted. Why is that? What does the Bible say? Host:  Alan Caudle

Many years ago, some people said, “Ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine.”Those were the words of the enemies of the church, addressed to the apostles, who were fulfilling the greatest needof the church -- telling others about Christ and His gospel. That’s what the Lord emphasized back then, and what He still emphasizes today...a passion for souls. And that’s the topic of today’s episode. Host:  Alan Caudle

On the island of Sicily, there is a group of men who gather water-soaked driftwood found floating in the Mediterranean, and then work and transform it into some of the finest and most expensive veneers and furniture in the world. Well, in a way, the Lord does same thing with people. Life is a sea, filled with human driftwood, which the Lord is able to transform into the finest and most beautiful things in the world -- Christian lives. He’s done it in the past...and He continues to do it today. Host:  Alan Caudle

One of the most popular ideas heard among those who claim to be Christians goes something like this: “The church doesn’t save you. A person can live just as good a Christian life outside the church as he can inside.” Most people who believe this are outside the Lord’s church...but now, we’re beginning to hear it from some who claim to be members. What do you say to this? How do you answer someone who believes that? What does the Bible say? Host:  Alan Caudle

The apostle Paul said, “In this life we groan, being burdened.” How true that is. And even though many burdens are seen, the ones that are deepest are the burdens that are unseen. We should pay attention to the Bible as to how we are to handle those. Plus, if we only knew the burdens some are bravely carrying, it would teach us some important lessons of love and restraint. What does the Bible say about, "the Burdens of Life?" Host:  Alan Caudle

Discovering the unknown, pioneering a new field, blazing a new trail...these are the urges that have caused men to move themselves forward and accomplish great things in this world. We can be thankful today for every constructive discovery they’ve ever made. But human eyes and hands have their limitations and they come to a place where, by themselves, they cannot go. There is a vast undiscovered land out there which can only be seen in the light of the Bible. Let's exploring! Host:  Alan Caudle
