  • Max Lucado Daily Devotional - God So Loved the World

    Listen to Today's Devotion

    Can a holy God overlook our mistakes? Should a kind God punish our mistakes? From our perspective there are only two equally unappealing solutions.  But from God’s perspective there’s a third.  It’s called “the Cross of Christ.”

    The cross is where God forgave his children without lowering his standards.  How could he do this? In a sentence:  God put our sin on his Son and punished it there. “God put on him the wrong who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God” (2 Corinthians 5:21 MSG).

    Why did he do it? Because “God so loved the world that he gave his only son” (John 3:16 NLT).  Aren’t you glad the verse doesn’t read “For God so loved the rich”?  Or “For God so loved the famous”? No. We simply (and happily) read: “For God so loved the world!” And you my friend, are included in that love!

  • Take 2 Theology - Cults | Four Christian-Adjacent Movements: Where the Doctrinal Fault Lines Are

    Episode 2.90


    In this episode, Michael and Zach examine several modern Christian-adjacent movements and ask a clarifying question: Where do the real doctrinal fault lines lie? Rather than treating every movement as equally problematic, the discussion evaluates four key theological pressure points that historically define Christianity—the Trinity, the person of Christ, the gospel, and authority and revelation.


    Using those categories, the episode surveys four movements often associated with Christianity: Oneness Pentecostalism, Word-Faith teaching, the New Apostolic Reformation, and Seventh-day Adventism. Each movement is examined according to how it relates to the core doctrines that have historically defined the Christian faith.


    Oneness Pentecostalism raises fundamental questions about the Trinity by reviving a modalistic understanding of God. Some streams of Word-Faith theology introduce significant pressure on the doctrine of God and the gospel through “little gods” language and prosperity-centered interpretations of faith. The New Apostolic Reformation generally maintains orthodox Trinitarian theology but introduces concerns around ongoing apostolic authority and modern prophetic revelation. Seventh-day Adventism affirms many historic doctrines but raises questions surrounding prophetic authority and the role of the Investigative Judgment in shaping assurance.


    Throughout the conversation, the goal is not to dismiss entire communities or question personal sincerity, but to evaluate theology using the same historical standards the church has long applied. By examining where doctrinal shifts occur—whether in the nature of God, the identity of Christ, the structure of the gospel, or the source of authority—listeners gain a framework for understanding why some differences are secondary while others alter the foundation itself.


    The episode closes with a reminder: the presence of biblical language does not guarantee biblical theology. The real question is whether the central doctrines of Christianity remain intact.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - March 12th - 2 Timothy 3:12-14
    2 Timothy 3:12-14
    Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived. But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.
    Paul didn’t want Timothy to have any illusions. Following Christ was the most wonderful life that Paul could imagine, but it wasn’t easy for him, and he felt sure that it wouldn’t be for Timothy either. He would face challenges on all sides and would also have to cope with the sight of his opponents flourishing. It was going to be incredibly tough, but Paul was convinced that he would be fine just so long as he clung on to the things he had been taught.
    Paul told Timothy that he could be confident of the teaching he had received because he knew the trustworthiness of those who had taught him. Timothy had a Jewish mother who had been largely responsible for his upbringing. The Old Testament has much to say about the teaching of children, and from their earliest days they were introduced to the law. It was claimed that the Jewish law was so firmly imprinted on a child’s mind that they would be more likely to forget their own name than God’s law. Timothy’s life as a Christian drew heavily upon the loving and faithful teaching that he had received from his earliest days.
    As we thank God for the teaching we have received, it is good for us to reflect on the teachers themselves. I wonder whose influence has blessed you over the years. I think of my parents and of Sunday school and youth leaders who graciously introduced me to the Christian faith, and I think of lecturers and ministers whose love for God has shaped my understanding of Christian teaching. Following Christ is challenging but, strengthened by loving teaching from trustworthy people, we have been given every encouragement to remain faithful.
    Question
    Who have been the most influential teachers in your Christian life and why?
    Prayer
    Loving Father, thank you for those who have helped me to understand your truth. Help me to remain faithful to what I have learned. Amen

  • Thru the Bible on Oneplace.com - Revelation 16:9-17
    If you’ve been waiting for the “Battle of Armageddon”—this is it. Only instead of a single battle, Armageddon is a war, extending the length of Israel, lasting three and a half years. It’s fought against the trinity of hell: Satan, Antichrist, and the False Prophet, who together make the armies of the world march against Israel, hoping to destroy God’s purposes on the earth. It ends with the Lord Jesus Christ’s return from heaven to establish His kingdom.

  • The Holy Post - 711: Donald and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad War plus Preston Sprinkle

    Do you remember the children's book, "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"? That title also sums up what most Americans think about Trump's new war with Iran. Kaitlyn explains why the war is immoral based on Christian theology, Phil channels Ezra Klein to define America's new "heads on pikes" foreign policy, and Skye says the war fits Donald Trump's long pattern of laziness and impatience. Then, Preston Sprinkle is back to discuss his latest book, "From Genesis to Junia," about his journey to determine what the Bible really says about women in leadership. Also this week, Americans were the only people in a worldwide survey to say most of their fellow citizens are bad people. Plus, some happy puppy news.
