Think Truth

Should we avoid people who are bitter? What does bitterness even mean? Drew and Elijah discuss how bitterness has been misunderstood and weaponized against people who get hurt. Unforgiveness is something to overcome at all costs, but it is not the same as biblical bitterness.

In this special Q&A episode, Elijah and Paul discuss a few of your questions related to the book of Revelation. Questions include: Could other apocalyptic works be borrowing from Revelation instead of vice versa? If Revelation is an example of “apocalyptic” literature, then did John really see the things he said he saw? What’s your take on postmillennialism? What about specific-sounding land promises given to Israel in the Bible? 

Be sure to check out the 3-episode series on Revelation and “end times” matters!

Revelation was written to a group of late first-century churches. It was meant to encourage and exhort them to be “conquerors.” But we’re far removed from them. On the other side, Revelation envisages events still in our future. How do we read and practically apply Revelation today, as believers far removed from the first century and still awaiting the final vision to unfold? Join Elijah and Paul as they discuss practically reading and applying the book in our lives and churches today.

Serious Christians are often on the lookout for the “mark of the beast.” And for good reason—it’s spiritually fatal! But should we be looking suspiciously at new technologies, vaccines, or payment methods? In fact, is this “mark” a specific, one-time “thing” for the final generation only, or is it an image that warns all believers? What should we be on the lookout for? Join Elijah and Paul as they dig into the “mark of the beast” in Revelation and reveal how important it is for us today (but not perhaps how you might think). Hint: It’s related to the “seal of God.”

How do you read Revelation? Or do you read it at all? Maybe you find it fascinating, but don't know how to find any meaning in it. Or maybe you feel a bit jaded by controversies over strange symbolism in the book. Join Elijah and Paul in this first episode of a series on Revelation where they sweep away some common misconceptions about the book of Revelation and "end-times" theology.  Hint: John wrote Revelation in a very specific genre of literature... and we should read it accordingly.

Drew and Elijah talk about how to use technology without it keeping us from things that matter. Realistically, for most of us, the quality of our lives will suffer if we don't make intentional choices about how we use--and don't use--our phones.

Drew and Elijah have a lively discussion about Elijah's popular article on the Think Truth blog: https://think-truth.org/2022/10/20/how-modesty-is-weaponized/

Are modesty and beauty fundamentally at odds? Do we need to accept a tradeoff between the two? Can we be fully modest and fully beautiful?
