May 12th, 2021. Progress Update. I wrote up a short summary of what the podcast purpose is and who I had invited to be guests so far. Next step is to gather some warm up and interview questions and share these with the guests who have agree to record a show with me. The update is on my website here: Sound Spirit Radio

May 6th, 2021. Greetings! Setting up our anchor account, so this is our first test recording.

Ever Learning

All my “Christian” life, since 1971, I have heard people talking about “learning”. And, generally speaking, “learning” is a good thing. I always say, “You learn something new every day”. Sometimes, you learn something that you knew a long time ago, but just forgot. That’s a sign of getter older, I think, but that’s a story for another day.  The question is if you can “learn” to be a Christian? Can you learn to be a better Christian? Once a female friend told me she was going on a retreat to teach other women how to pray properly. I was amused by that statement, but, none-the-less, I wished her the best.

In Timothy II, Paul is railing on all sorts of folk that he didn’t appreciate much. And he makes this interesting statement. “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” [2 Tim. 3.7]  What does Paul mean in regard to the “knowledge of the truth”? Apparently, “the truth” - is not learned, at least not learned in the same sense that one learns the alphabet or the times tables or perhaps, even, how to pray properly.  

More on that in Part II
