Sex is most certainly the juiciest topic. It’s the topic that everyone is interested in. Our church leaders and pastors often do a very good job of telling people to abstain from sex before marriage, but overall most of our leaders and preachers don’t give us a decent “why” with that thought.

The question has been asked often: “Why is Premarital sex sin?” Sometimes scare tactics are used when answering this question, other times the question is simple ignored or neglected. In this episode, Kenny gives us a clear Biblically founded answer.

Most Christians believe that aborted babies go to heaven. And most Christians are vehemently against the practice of abortion. So that leads some people to ask the question, “Why oppose abortion if those babies go right to heaven?”

In this episode, Kenny gives seven reasons:

1) Sin should never be condoned no matter what.

2) Abortion is murder, and this argument could be used to justify the murder of all small children.

3) This same logic could be used to justify the murder of all Christians.

4) We ought to never choose to sin just so that we can see grace exhibited.

5) Abortion kills the beauty of potential.

6) This logic presumes to rob another human of their opportunity to choose God.

7) This logic presumes to take the place of God.

Abortion is one of the hot button topics in our nation, often argued as an issue of choice or equality for women. However, these views are skewed and miss the bigger picture.

God is grieved by the mass killing of our unborn babies. But why does this grieve God? And why is it some important that Christians stand against the practice of abortion? In this episode, Kenny gives three reasons:

1) Life begins at conception

2) Abortion is inhumane

3) The foundation of abortion is the opposite of the Gospel

The King James Version (KJV) was the “gold standard” of all English translations around the world for nearly 350 years. Originally published in 1612, it has past the test of time.

It has an incredible legacy. However, with newer more modern English translations, most Christians have gone away from using the KJV.

But there are some people within Christianity that believe that the KJV is the only English Bible that we should read; others even go as far as to say that all other English translations are nothing more than a corruption of God’s Word.

How should we respond to the KJV-only debate?

Why do we presume to teach anyone anything about God at all?

This question posed by a friend of Kenny (the friend is not a follower of Jesus). This is an important question. Why is it that we can speak about God confidently? Why do we feel the confidence to speak on His behalf?

What makes us so sure about God? Kenny answers these questions in this episode.

A frequently asked question by many believers revolves around the desire of knowing which English Bible version they ought to read to best understand what God is saying to us. There are many different contemporary English translations, each with its own flavor and philosophy. In this episode Kenny unpacks:

1) The different philosophies of modern Bible translations

2) Which versions are the most trustworthy

Kenny’s two favorite and most trusted Bible translations are:

– English Standard Version (ESV)

– New Living Translation (NLT)

This episode is a follow-up to our previous episode “Why Are There so Many Bible Translations?” wherein Kenny gives us some good insights into the incredibly difficult task of Bible translation.

People often ask, “Why are there so many different translations of the Bible?” The answer simply lies in two facts:

1- Translating ancient languages into contemporary language is a very difficult task.

2- There are several different philosophies of how to translate the Bible.

In this episode, Kenny gives us insights into the difficult task of Bible translation and clearly answers the answer to this question in a way that anyone can understand.

Whatever you believe about God matters a lot, because it’ll impact how you live your life. Theology is simply the study of God. The more you study about God, then the more you’ll know and understand about God, his character, his nature, and his dealings with mankind. The more you know, then the more you’ll be better equipped to make better choices in life.

Theology matters because it greatly impacts how we live our lives.

If you have bad theology (meaning you believe the wrong things about God) you could make decisions that are potentially detrimental to you or those around you. But if you have good theology (meaning you believe the right things about God) then you are more likely to make good decisions in life and, more importantly, you are more likely to embrace all of life’s circumstances with a Christ-honoring perspective.
