Governed by God

This week, I continue with a series on the demonic by looking at the ancient worship of Asherah, or Ishtar. As an androgynous goddess whose holiest month was June, what else did Asherah worship involve? Most importantly, why does that matter for today?

This week, I continue with a series on the demonic by looking at the ancient worship of Baal. While baal simply means "lord" or "master," with many baals existing at one time, there was also a universal Baal. Who was this Baal, and what does Baal worship involve? What are the principles behind Baal worship, and how do those principles continue in existence today?

This week, I continue with a series on the demonic. What activity is associated with demons? How do they influence people? Furthermore, what authority does Christ have over them, and how should Christians view them? I also look at several common errors concerning demons and how those errors remain popular today.

This week, I begin a series on the demonic. What are demons and where does the term come from? How do they relate to the principalities and powers mentioned in the Bible? How do they interact with the material world and what influence do they have on people? As we look at the concept of demons, we will see how they impact doctrines - teachings - and how these doctrines of demons are alive and at work in our culture today.

This week, I look at the spiritual and religious foundation of the transgender movement. More specifically, I review and respond to several public comments made in March and April at the Central Bucks School Board meeting. What is the foundation of the transgender argument? What makes it religious, and even the promotion of a false gospel? I answer those questions on today's episode.

00:58 - Passage of the Day: Ezekiel 8:14-15 (Mourning for Tammuz)

07:25 - Is transgenderism a religion that promotes a false gospel?

This week, I answer the question: Can Scripture alone give us a system of government by which to live? While unbelievers certainly ignore Scripture, even Christians are divided on whether the Bible is sufficient. Some argue that the Bible is useful but needs to be paired with natural law and philosophy. Others suggest that natural law and non-biblical philosophy could be helpful, but should ultimately be under the authority of God's word. Tune in today as I try to navigate these questions.

01:50 - Passage of the Day: Deuteronomy 4:5-8 (Israel to be an example to the nations)

06:50 - Can Scripture alone provide us with a system of government?

This week, I look at a recent viral video clip of a debate between Oklahoma State Senator Nathan Dahm and Jon Stewart. Their discussion centers around drag queen story hour, the right to vote, and the right to bear arms. I unpack their arguments and look at some of the assumptions that are brought to the table. In any debate, everyone brings certain rules to the table (i.e., the rules of the game). If you play by your opponent's rules without challenging them, the game is lost. While Jon Stewart imported several rules and assumptions into the discussion, Senator Dahm did not challenge him and ultimately lost the argument. Tune in to see how.

01:20 - Passage of the Day: Luke 17:1-3, Mark 9:42-48, Matthew 18:1-6 (Causing these little ones to sin)

08:35 - Review and critique of debate between Senator Dahm and Jon Stewart.

Here is the clip of Senator Dahm and Jon Stewart (parental warning on language)

On this week's episode, I complete our series on the topic of tyranny and totalitarianism by looking at the the source of our freedom - Jesus Christ. There is a difference between liberty and license, with liberty being the freedom to do good and to act virtuously. On the other hand, license is the freedom to do whatever you want. Yet sin is not a liberating activity; it is an enslaving one. For any person, or people, to even hope to be free economically and politically, they must first be free spiritually. True freedom - freedom from sin - can only be found in the Son of God.

00:53 - Passage of the Day: John 8:31-36 (The Son sets us free)

05:30 - Seeds of Freedom

Although I intended to go back to our series on tyranny, today I deviated yet again by looking at a speech given by Governor Shapiro of Pennsylvania on February 16, 2023. Speaking from a church in Philadelphia, Governor Shapiro discusses the topic of the death penalty. By advocating for a complete abolishment of the death penalty, he is actually failing to do his God-given duty as a civil magistrate. So, today I offer a review and critique of his speech from a biblical perspective.

01:15 - Passage of the Day: Genesis 9:6 (Institution of Capital Punishment) and Ecclesiastes 8:11 (Deterrence of Crime)

06:00 - Review of Governor Shapiro's address on February 16, 2023 concerning the death penalty. The link to the full speech can be found below:

Taking a break from the series on tyranny, today I share about my recent experience speaking at a Central Bucks School Board meeting. It took place on January 10th and was, as expected, fairly well-attended. The topic of the evening was Policy 321, the policy regarding classroom neutrality (no flags on the walls except the national flag or state flag). My own three-minute statement was not so much about the policy as it was about the history of our nation. Interestingly, one of the non-Christian speakers toward the end gave a statement that demonstrated just how spiritual this battle is. Satan wants the children, and Christians are called to do something about it.

00:45 - Passage of the Day: Psalm 11 (What can the righteous do?)

07:50 - My school board meeting experience on January 10th.
