Live the Bible with Wayne Stiles

Why does a good, loving God allow such evil? 

And since God is all-powerful, how come He doesn’t deal with evil once and for all by this evening?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at these often-asked questions—so relevant to our day. The answer from God’s Word is simple and profound.

Sure, the Bible is the Word of God.

But how can we know that it is? And how can we explain it to those not convinced? In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at these essential questions.

And thankfully, God’s Word (and other evidence) gives us some great answers.

Episode Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:14-16

Have you ever asked, “Is Jesus Really the Only Way to Heaven?"

And if He is, what about the person who has never heard of Jesus? Thankfully, we are not left to ourselves to figure out these questions. In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at the Bible’s answer to these questions. Frankly, they have greater application in our lives than any other question we could ask.

The Bible’s answer is crystal clear, and—it’s good news.

If you knew you would die tomorrow, how would that affect today?

That’s the mindset we need to carry with us all the time. 

In this episode of Live the Bible, we complete the book of 2 Peter with some great insights from the apostle on how to keep growing in our walk with God the rest of our lives.

Why doesn’t Jesus just hurry up and show up? Great question.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at what is taking so long in God’s program. (If He came before April 15, that would be really great.)

We wait on God for a lot of things, don’t we? Today the Apostle Peter reminds us that, in truth, we are not waiting on God as much as God is waiting on us.

Memorize these three words: Direction—not speed. 

We need to remember these words when we get discouraged about how slowly we seem to progress in our spiritual lives.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at our culture (and ourselves) right in the face. Sometimes looking at bad examples makes us feel better about our lives in comparison, but sometimes these bad examples look a lot like our lives. When that occurs, we shouldn’t be discouraged. We should let the conviction help us turn a corner.

The Apostle Peter shows us that the goal of our spiritual lives is direction—not speed.

It’s the best bad news you'll ever hear. That's because the bad news is only the first step to the good news.

And it’s really good!

In this episode of Live the Bible, we learn surprising truths from 2 Peter 2 as we look our culture (and ourselves) right in the face. We see what the Bible has to say about three people: the good, the bad, and the Almighty.

Did I mention it's good news?

How do you usually remind yourself of something important? 

God reminds us of essential truths He wants us to remember by repeating them—truths we often forget! 

In this episode of Live the Bible, the Apostle Peter writes in 2 Peter 1 about three reminders that matter. These reminders are critical for our walk with God even today.

Healthy eating and exercise often find their way to our list of goals.

But what your about spiritual eating and exercise?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at 2 Peter 1 and seven qualities the Lord tells us we need in order to succeed. In fact, all 7 are found in one passage.

Right now is a wonderful time to re-dedicate our lives to growing in our spiritual walk with Christ.

There’s a lion out to get you.

No, not a large feline. I’m talking about your greatest enemy—a spiritual foe whom the Apostle Peter likes to a ferocious beast who lurks and looks for a chance to lunge.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look in 1 Peter 5 at a subject so few people talk about today—and that includes so few Christians—the subject of Satan. The Bible clearly teaches he exists, that he is bent on our destruction, and most importantly, that we can stand strong against him.

Peter tells us how.
