It is so easy for us to get caught up in the rat race of life, to focus on our own existence and our own desires, and to place all of our efforts on taking care of our families and those we love. But what about the biblical mandate of being Jesus’ hands and feet here on earth? What about the call to do unto others what we would have them do unto us, or as Paul says - to treat others as better than ourselves? In this episode of "HardKore Christianity", Jerry and will I attempt to answer the question, “How important is doing ministry work?” We’ll explore statistics examining how many believers spend time doing kingdom work, we’ll examine the benefits or repercussions of engaging or not engaging in ministry work, and we’ll take a look at what the Bible says about our mandate, or lack thereof, to engage in some form of ministry. If you’ve ever wondered how important it is for believers to engage in some form of ministry, I would encourage you to check out this episode of "HardKore Christianity".

What does it mean to sin? On the surface, this question seems quite elementary. Sin is a concept understood by most believers as an act that God doesn’t want us to do; something that if we do, and if we confess and repent, the blood of Jesus covers it so that we will not be sent to hell. But what exactly is sin? Are there some things that we do that God doesn’t like but wouldn’t, by themselves, send us to hell if not for the blood of Jesus? In this episode of "HardKore Christianity", Jerry and I explore the question, “What does it mean to sin?” We’ll try to define what God considers “sin”, we’ll try to examine what believers in America consider to be “sin”, and we’ll discuss how important it is whether those two definitions align. We’ll talk about how the Bible define’s sin, we’ll examine some of the repercussions of sin, and we’ll try to determine what this all says about our God. If you’ve ever wondered if some disobedient acts are considered sin and others are just considered bad behavior, you’ll want to check out this episode of "HardKore Christianity".

The concept of the Trinity can be perplexing even to the most mature believer. Questions like, “What exactly is the Trinity?”, “How can God be three people at once?”, “ Which one should I pray to?” and “What role does each of the three play?” are common questions that arise when considering the Trinity. So, in this episode of "HardKore Christianity", Jerry and will I attempt to answer the question, “How Can God Be Three Persons in One?” We’ll try to understand why the concept of a triune God is so difficult to grasp, we’ll explore what the Bible says about the Trinity, and we’ll explore the roles of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. If you are struggling to understand how 3 can equal 1, I encourage you to stick around for this episode of "HardKore Christianity".
