A whole book was written that "these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name." This book was written so that Christians would be powerful evangelists. As Bryan Anderson takes us through this book, may you be blessed by its teachings.

Of all of the strong statements from Christ, this is one of the biggest of not THE biggest. 

"If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. "If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell. 

Matthew 5:29-30

Patheos.com once again challenges the Christian. When is the end of all things? According to Jesus, no man knows the day nor the hour (Mark 13:32). Yet, is it true to say that Paul tells us that we CAN know the day and hour because he has told us that "we are not in darkness?" (I Thessalonians 5:1-5) Is it possible for the Christian to know when the end will be? Can we set dates and times for Jesus' return? More importantly, does scripture contradict when it comes to knowing about Jesus' return? Listen in and find out.

As you work through the sticky situations in your life, you need the church. You may know that but what you may not know is that those sticky situations won't be as helpfully solved unless you have been going to church consistently to begin with. As your hosts speak on the role the church plays in solving ethical dilemmas, may the Lord bless you as you listen to this installment.

Maybe you've experienced it: an emotional "camp-like" environment. The exhausted fellow attenders begin to get weepy, they begin telling the deep secrets of their hearts, and after the emotions are over there is a mountain-top experience for a time. Many a Christian has gone through such an event, but do we need them? Are these even Christian to begin with? A very familiar interviewee to Theologic's listeners, Pastor Brian Janssen, has explored just such a movement that has affected his area. It goes under many names such as Tres dias, Chrystalis, or even Teens Encounter Christ. The original name is Cursillo. As you listen to Brian Janssen unpack this movement, our prayer is that you will be spurred on to trust the ordinary, sufficient word of God and be careful to discern and avoid spectacular yet unbiblical methods.
