  • Election Day By The Book
    Since today is election day in America, I thought I would share some thoughts on the subject at hand. I believe it is the duty and responsibility of every Christian to vote in every election. I also believe Christians should vote for leaders who uphold Christian principles. God is most certainly in control, but that does not mean we should do nothing to further His will. In this episode, we will see what the book has to say regarding the government, choosing leaders and our submission to governing authorities.

  • How Big Is God?
    How you handle life depends on how big you believe God is. If he is too small, you will live in constant anxiety thinking everything depends on you. Your outlook will be dictated by your surroundings and your critics. Without the acceptance of a loving God you will be a slave to people's opinions. You will constantly crave recognition from others because you don't understand that your Father who sees everything, will reward you. In this episode, we will examine a familiar Bible story with the hope that you will gain a better understanding in that whatever you're going through, God is always big enough to do the job. He is always able!

  • The Day That Changed The World - October 31
    There are many religious systems and many church systems that write their own rules when it comes to making it to heaven. The Roman Catholic Church was one of those religious systems. But on October 31st, 1517, a young man of 33 years of age, walked to a church door and nailed 95 new and radical views that firmly stood against the Roman Catholic Church's teachings. His name was Martin, and he was a monk. What he did that day forever changed the world. In this episode, we will examine the battle cry of the Protestant Reformation: "Through faith alone in Christ alone!"

  • Flowers & Weeds
    If you had your picj between tulips and dandelions, which would you choose for your yard and why? Who determines the rules of which is a flower that should receive special care as compared to a weed that should be exterminated? In this episode, we will take a look at how we tend to classify people around us, even in church. Why do we do this? Who made the rules? Regardless of labels, every bloom in God's garden is unique, creative, and intricately special.

  • An Encounter With God
    The presence of God should be a normal regular part of daily life for the true Christian believer. When you think about it, every day we experience the presence of those with whom we do life such as coworkers, friends, family, neighbors, etc. Because of our being in their presence we receive various effects of simply being around them. They leave their impression on us. So why would we put God in some mysterious category as if being close to him and having that nearness affect our lives should be something so remote and far away from us? In this episode, we will take a close look at the subject of encountering the presence of God.

  • The Atheist's Burden
    Believing that the God of the Bible exists is solid rational thinking. Believing that God does not exist is highly irrational thinking. In this episode, you'll discover why the burden of proof never rests on a believer but it's solely rests on the shoulders of the atheist. God has clearly proven his existence. Hopefully, you are a believer and one who thinks clearly and rationally.
