God's Everlasting Word

There may be no other Bible subject that is more misunderstood than that of the Holy Spirit and His work. Some claim that He operates directly upon the heart of the Christian; some say He endows people with miraculous powers; others claim He doesn't exist at all as a member of the Godhead...but is simply God's divine force or influence. What exactly does the Holy Spirit do today? Does He illuminate the Biblical text so that we can understand it? Does He supernaturally open our hearts to the gospel of Christ? Does He do miracles? What does the Bible say? Host:  Alan Caudle     Guest:  Joel Wheeler

One of the most mysterious and well-known religious practices in today's word is "speaking in tongues." But when the person doing it is asked what they actually said, the usual answer is "I don't know." In fact, when someone is speaking in tongues, it is never in any language used on earth. So what is it? Are those who say they are doing it today actually doing something that comes from the Holy Spirit? Is the same thing that was recorded in the New Testament? What does the Bible say?

We don't hear the topic of Hell preached or talked about very often, because, apparently, a lot of people just want to pretend that it doesn't exist...and they argue that they don't believe a loving God would send anyone to such a place. But no matter how much people do not want to believe in Hell, the Bible makes it very clear that it does exist...and that we should do everything we can in this life to keep from going there after we die.

Download   There are beautiful descriptions of what heaven is like mentioned throughout the Bible. And it tells us that heaven is a prepared place, for a prepared people. Jesus said, “I go to prepare a place for you.” Heaven is the place we should all strive for while we live our lives upon the earth. But there are certain preparations a person should make in order to go there. Host:  Alan Caudle     Guest: Ken Burleson

Most people would agree that today's society has a drug problem. And the number one drug of choice for many social activities is alcohol. From sporting events to parties and weekend activities, the drinking of alcoholic beverages has spread over the world like a cancer...and the evidence of its harmful effects is overwhelming. Alcohol is a very serious problem in today's world...but what is even more serious is the condition in which the drinker will find himself when he stands before God.

Is there a question that God cannot answer? Well, if we turn to Hebrews 2:5, we read this: "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation?" Once we examine the context of that question, we'll understand that God cannot give an answer...because there IS no answer. But what exactly does that verse mean? Why is that salvation so great? What does the Bible say?

"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21). What does that mean? A lot of people believe that it means to pray...and that by praying to the Lord, a person can be saved. The statement shows up in other places in the Bible, such as Acts 22:16 and Genesis 12:8 -- but on those occasions, the people did something else other than just praying. So what does it mean to "call on the name of the Lord?" What does the Bible say? Host:  Alan Caudle     Guest: Kyle Lemon

There many philosophies and concepts concerning the church...but it seems most religious people believe that God has left it up to man as to how we are to worship Him, and how the church should be. But there's a major problem with that line of thinking. Jesus tells us, in John 4:23,24, that "the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." In other words, we must worship Him according to His Word. Host:  Alan Caudle     Guest:  Bill Davis

Download   Most denominations use instrumental music in their worship services, and even a few congregations who claim to be part of the Lord's church have begun to do so. Is this what God wants? Is it authorized by His Word? Is it pleasing unto Him...or only pleasing to us? These are very serious questions, because everything we do of a religious nature must be done according to His will. Some people will argue that since God did not forbid the practice for Christians, then we can use instruments of music during worship and it's alright with Him. But what does the Bible say? After all, God is the final authority in everything we do, especially during our worship unto Him. Host:  Alan Caudle     Guest:  Sidney White

What do we mean when we talk about "the gospel"...and how should we understand it as God presents it in the Bible? The New Testament tells us that the gospel was preached by inspired men, and was then written down for people to obey and follow. John 20:31 tells us: "But these things were written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that be believing ye might have life through his name." This written gospel is the good news of salvation. But many people are unwilling to accept the written gospel. And instead of following the things that God has told us to do, they have substituted their own unwritten gospel as their authority in religion. Host:  Alan Caudle
