Share Truth Apply Scripture

There are universal callings on the life of every believer. We discussed that in episode 69. But there are things we can be confused about when it comes to calling. One of those confusing issues can be whether we are called to be nice or kind.

What is the difference between kindness and nice-ness? Wesley and TJ invite Bryan Fischer, host of Focal Point on American Family Radio. Bryan wrote an article about the issue on AFA's blog The Stand. The trio talks about the article, the difference between cultural callings and biblical callings, and how to know the difference.

There are many ideas, concepts, and issues that can divide Christians. Wesley and TJ are joined again by Alex McFarland to continue their series on 10 Issues that Divide Christians. You can listen to Part 1 and Part 2 that were posted last week.

In this episode, in the midst of covering specific issues, the three start by discussing that some issues are so big they are worth splitting fellowship over. Alex says three big ideas are definitely deal breakers. They are the nature of God, the authority of Scripture and the view of God. These are the differences between convictions and preferences.

But how should we approach these issues when there is a disagreement? What principles can we follow to focus on the disagreement and not demonize the person we disagree with?

The final episode is next and wraps up the 10 issues. You can hear Part I, Part II, and Part IV by clicking the links.

In the conclusion of the series on 10 Issues that Divide Christians, Wesley and TJ are joined once again by Alex McFarland to cover homosexuality, pornography, and others.

But what has the point of this four-part series been? It has not been to list things you have the freedom to fight over. It is to show how we can confront these disagreements in grace and humility and strengthen fellowship through it.

In case you missed it, you can find Part I where we talk about, among other issues, government; Part II focusing on abortion; and Part III when the trio talks about how you can know what issues are worth breaking fellowship over (and yes, there are some issues that important).

Doubtful disputations. What ideas can Christians can disagree on in grace and humility but continue fellowship and what beliefs are big enough to break fellowship over? How can you know the difference?

There are things that are personal convictions and issues of conscience but then there are issues of dogma and absolute right and wrong. Wesley and TJ recognize to cover these topics with wisdom and humility, they need help so they invited Alex McFarland back to the program to discuss them.

Alex literally wrote the book on this topic in 10 Issues that Divide Christians. The three first talk about how to approach disagreements and then focus on one in particular: government.

There are several issues that can divide Christians. Some ideas are big enough to break fellowship over. Others are personal convictions and should be seen as such.

Wesley and TJ continue with Alex McFarland discussing his book 10 Issues that Divide Christians. In this second part of a four-part series, they continue covering government from part one, then move to social justice and abortion.

Can you continue worshipping with someone who disagrees with you on any of these issues? The answer may be more nuanced than you thought.

Expectant parents often don't exactly know what to expect. Jordan joins TJ and Wesley in this episode to hear their advice and warnings, as well as to discuss questions they still don't have the answers to.

Parenting is more than just attending to a child's physical and mental needs. It is attending to their spiritual needs as well. Wesley and TJ are joined by pastor, author, and conference speaker Paul David Tripp to highlight his new book Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family, and discuss the heart of what parenting is in a Christ honoring home.

How do we know the right thing to do when the Bible doesn't clearly lay it out? Do we have to floss? The Bible doesn't say. Do we have to obey the speed limit? The Bible doesn't say.

However, the Bible does reveal the heart of God and it relays principles to us by which we are to live our lives. No matter what issue we face, Scripture has something to say about it, even if it is not a "Thou shall," or "Thou shall not."

Bert Harper joins Wesley and TJ in the studio to talk about how Christians can see these ideas in the supposed silence of the Bible. Fortunately, there are many things the Bible does speak directly to. Wesley and TJ have Dr. Jim Garlow to discuss that in the next episode.

There are some issues the Bible seems to be silent on that requires the believer to study and have discernment. Then there are issues the Bible speaks plainly on. Wesley and TJ invited Dr. Jim Garlow to the Engage Program to discuss those issues. He covers many of them in his new book Well Versed: Biblical Answers to Today's Tough Issues.

Knowing what Scripture says is only half the work for the believer. We must also know how to live in light of what the Bible teaches. The trio talks about how we are live in the light of God's revealed will in a plethora of issues.

In the last episode, TJ, Wesley, and Jordan discussed how our creativity reflects the character of God, especially in the life of a Christian, and how Christians can seek to glorify their creative God through their talents and creative gifts. Now they turn a corner and talk about a correct perception of creativity – is it only for artists and "creatives"? Or does everyone have some amount of creativity?
