As Americans, it's often helpful to be reminded that the epicenter of Christ's kingdom is not located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And the purposes of God have never been thwarted at the hands of men---a streak that's not about to end on November 6. Such a recognition isn't quietism or escapism---just biblical Christianity.

President Obama and Governor Romney are, like you and me, feeble creatures of dust. They're worthy of our honor (Eccl. 10:20; 1 Pet. 2:17), but never our hope.

So pay your taxes, choose your candidate, and cast your vote (politics does matter, after all), but do so as one whose trust is anchored in another world. As citizens of "a better country" (Heb. 11:16; cf. Phil. 3:20), we the people of the risen King await "new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells" (2 Pet. 3:13).

Whatever comes of our quadrennial sojourn to the ballot box, we can rest in the sovereign goodness of a Father who sits enthroned in the heavens and, with majesty and mystery, does whatever he pleases.

Join pastor B-Side as he journeys through Matthew 9:32-34 and reveals the scriptures that provide the truth about who Jesus is. Then, discover how the non-believers of Jesus’ time responded and what the Bible has to say about the various ways to reject Christ.

There are a lot of people who have come in contact in someway with the Lord Jesus Christ. However, not everyone has received the benefit of what Jesus Christ came to bring. If Jesus came to bring peace, joy, and salvation, why are there so many “Christians” without these things? Maybe we know a Christian like that; maybe we are that Christian. Join Pastor B-Side this week on The Proper Knowledge Mix Show as he goes through Matthew 9:18-26 to discover the kind of faith it takes to receive the full benefit of Jesus Christ. Grace sounds good, but how do we receive it? The Word of God tells us! Then DJ Havcutz shows how recording artists like Bon Jovi, Kanye West, Eminem, and Lady Gaga, work to keep many people from receiving the full benefits that Jesus Christ came to offer.

Can you always mix the old with the new? There are those who believe that we, as people, and do things and perform certain works to earn our way into heaven, though the Bible teaches that eternal life is gained by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Is it really that simple? Can we really be saved simply by faith? Are there really no works that we can do? Join us this week on The Proper Knowledge Mix Show as Pastor B-Side takes us through Matthew 9:14-17 to study the words of Jesus Christ, to see what He has to say about mixing the old ways to salvation with the new. Then DJ Havcutz will discuss how major entertainment figureheads like Tyler Perry and Michael Jackson, have produced entertainment that suggests differently than the words of Jesus Christ.
