Ever had something stop working, only to find that one little thing was getting in the way? This is often the case in our spiritual lives. Dr. Mark Hamby and Molly Mayo unpack what that looks like on today's episode of Fastened Like Nails. Examining the closing passage of 1 John, they explain how our relationship with God can be disrupted by even the smallest of idols. How do we protect ourselves from being derailed by the many temptations around us? Tune in today and discover how the power of God's Word can be at work in your life.

Why is it that leaders can be guilty of injustice and oppression for years, only to be finally removed from office or publicly disgraced when a sexual scandal breaks? Why do men like Bill Gothard or Joe Biden spend years openly using their authority and forcing women and children to endure their violations of intimacy through unwanted touches or closeness, and it is accepted? How do we solve these types of problems? How can we protect not just our sons and daughters, but how can we change our culture so such evil is not permitted?In this episode, we want to ask what God's word says about authority and oppression. We know that God says all authorities are appointed by Him, but does that mean we just have to put up with evil leaders? God forbid! But often, as Christians, we forget that God has appointed multiple authorities - not just the church and home, but even other officers in the same government or other levels of government. God cares greatly about oppression, but at times, it seems as if the church does not. We need to change that. Please join us as we discuss this important topic.

Psalms 86:11 "Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name." King James Version

Christians have been forgiven and transformed through faith in Jesus Christ, but they have not yet been perfected. Temptation, weakness, and remaining sin continue to affect believers throughout the Christian life. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains how Christ has broken sin's dominion, why the flesh continues to oppose the Holy Spirit, and why the believer's struggle against sin does not mean salvation has failed. Christians can fight sin with confidence because sanctification is underway, God's grace is sufficient, and glorification is coming.

The sermon examines the theological and behavioral disconnect in the life of the Apostle Peter, specifically contrasting his initial acceptance of the Gentile mission in Acts with his later withdrawal in Antioch as recorded in Galatians. It argues that Peter's vacillation was not merely a lapse in memory but a failure to align his actions with the doctrine he had received, driven by peer pressure, prejudice, and fear of social rejection. The message emphasizes that sound doctrine must inevitably transform behavior, warning against the modern tendency to minimize theological truth in favor of cultural acceptance or entertainment. By tracing Peter's journey from vision to compromise and finally to restoration at the Jerusalem Council, the sermon calls believers to examine their own lives for inconsistencies between belief and practice. It concludes with an urgent appeal to reconcile one's conscience with biblical truth, urging both believers to live out their convictions and unbelievers to turn to Christ for salvation.

This sermon explores the foundational biblical truth that the Lord is good, drawing from four distinct passages to illustrate different dimensions of divine character. The speaker defines the Hebrew concept of goodness as something pleasant, beneficial, and excellent, arguing that this attribute is not contingent on human circumstances. Through Psalm 100, the sermon presents God's goodness as perpetual, extending from everlasting to all generations without expiration. Psalm 135 is used to show that this goodness makes worship a pleasant and joyful experience rather than a mere obligation, while Lamentations 3 reveals its personal nature, reaching specifically those who wait and seek Him even in the midst of suffering. Finally, Nahum 1 is cited to demonstrate that God's goodness serves as a protective stronghold for believers during times of trouble and judgment. The message concludes with a pastoral invitation for individuals to experience this unchanging goodness through salvation and trust in Christ.

In this discussion, we lay the groundwork for our series by exploring the history of this monumental collection—including Sereno Dwight's foundational 19th-century *Memoirs* and how it compares to early biographies like those of Samuel Hopkins and Alexander Allen—before providing a guided tour through each treatise in the table of contents. From landmark philosophical and theological masterworks like *Freedom of the Will*, *Original Sin*, *The End for Which God Created the World*, and *Religious Affections*, to historical revival accounts, church controversy defenses, and pastoral sermons, this episode serves as your essential roadmap to understanding the scope, context, and enduring spiritual legacy of Edwards' primary writings.
