Jesus not just the resurrected Lord. He is also the King and author of all Creation. He is eternal and was with God the Father and the Holy Spirit at the moment of creation. Hence, all the forces of nature, which operate solely according to God’s laws (in order, they are: mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology) are within His control. And control them He does, in Matthew Chapter 14. 

In our look at Matthew 13, we delve into Jesus’s use of parables to impart critical lessons to all of us. The parable is a powerful teaching tool that compels the reader or listener to think more deeply about a subject. It is clear from His sophisticated use of them that Jesus expected His followers to exercise their rational and critical thinking skills to grasp His Word and apply it to their own lives. 

The Chinese Communist Party, under the direction of its supreme leader is rewriting The Bible to make it fit a heathen culture. In fact, their rewrite is so reprehensible that it will include Jesus killing a woman. We kid you not. Listen to our discussion of that topic and read an excellent article about the Bible rewrite here. 

In this episode, we continue our discussion of Matthew, delving into chapters 11 and 12. We also talk about the “Wet noodle Christians” in our country, as discussed in an article at The Blaze, by Owen Anderson. Trust us, there are few things more useless and uninformed than wet noodle Christians. 

In Matthew 8, Jesus delivers some of His most powerful lessons on the meaning and power of faith. In the hierarchy of redemption, faith precedes all else. It comes before repentance and most certainly before obedience; indeed, it is the mechanism by which repentance occurs and good works issue from us. Good works don’t produce salvation; that comes only from faith in Jesus Christ, the resurrected son of The Most High. 

In Matthew Chapter 8, Jesus makes a dramatic shift: He is no longer just teaching in the synagogue and speaking to His followers, He begins performing miracles that have physical manifestations. Thus, He is showing that He is indeed Lord of all, including all the elements of the natural world. Jesus’s interaction with a faithful Roman Centurion is one of the most most beautiful accounts of faith in the Bible, and it is restated, with a couple of interesting new facts, Luke. We discuss both. Have a listen. 

In Matthew Chapter 7, Jesus teaches about judgment and what it means…and also what it doesn’t mean. Unfortunately, in the modern church, which is weak, soft, ineffective, and Scripturally ignorant, these words get twisted all the time into a blanket prohibition against ever drawing reasonable conclusions about an issue or a person. That’s wrong. Listen to us to find out why. 

There is no greater theological myth in the world than the lie that the Bible and the Quran are aligned. Nothing could be more absurd. Before you listen to this episode, we encourage you to read Vik’s essay at The Blaze about the lie that Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are all Abrahamic faiths. In this episode, we demonstrate beyond a doubt that the links between the Bible and the Quran are not by accident, and they are not what you think they are. 

A look back at two important issues we’ve discussed in the last two episodes: NBA star Jaden Ivey, who was cut by the Chicago Bulls after calling out the NBA for its Biblically unrighteous embrace of gay ideology, and Pope Leo, also of Chicago, for his embrace of..well, we are not really sure what he is embracing, but we know that he does not embrace: the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is not political, and the truth of God’s word, which is the Holy Bible. 

Jesus was not a victim; the purpose of faith in the Triune God is not a fairer society, but salvation; Jesus did not send forth the apostles in order for them to defend man; God never decries wealth, he hates the wicked and their acts. These are just a few of the apostasies preached by Pope Leo XIV during his speech in Monaco. Inquiring minds want to know: has he ever read a Bible, and does he believe what he read, or is he really the communist he appears to be?
