    What are the constant things about God? What are the things that we think, are the constants in life? I cross those two questions in this episode.

  • Pondering Christian Phrases: "I'm not perfect, just saved"

    In this episode we ponder the Phrase, "I'm not perfect, just saved"

    This phrase is used often a Christian excuse, pumper sticker and uttered by Christian celebs who have been found doing wrong in some way. Does it have a proper place in our vocab? Does it have a good usage? We'll discus it in this episode.

    Scriptures mentioned and considered for this episode: Matthew 5:48, Leviticus 11:45, 2 Peter 1:3-11, Matthew 5:17, Romans3:23, 2 Corinthians 10:3

  • Into what, were you baptized?

    This episode is based off of a sermon I gave on the "Baptism of the Lord" Sunday. It is a reflection, on the question, into what were you baptized?

    Scriptures: Psalm 29, Acts 19:1-7, Mark 1:4-11

  • Pondering Christian Phrases: "Bless your Heart!"

    Our next phrase in our Pondering series, is "If the Lord wills it".

    This phrase is used often in specific contexts, I find them usually in my case to be the opposite of uplifting. Some receive or give it in good will, however, it is used a lot in some places. Either way, it misses the mark of the original intended message in scripture.

    Scriptures with Blessings: Numbers 6:24-26, 3 John 1:2, 2 Corinthians 9:8

  • Pondering Christian Phrases: "God Never Changes"

    Another episode from a pondering car ride. In this episode I ponder and reflect on the phrase, "God never changes." This phrase is often used and quoted, but I believe it is not understood well. For that matter, I believe it is used quite inaccurately.

    Scriptures: Hebrews 13:8, Malachi 3:6, Genesis 1:27
