Are good deeds a part of God’s Great Commission? We all should know the great charge that Jesus gave to His disciples both before the Cross and after His Ascension—to go forth, to witness, to make disciples. And Jesus told us all what the two great commandments are: to love God and to love our neighbors. So, what about good deeds—do they help or obscure the Great Commission? Join Kevin as we dive into both the Great Commission and what we can rightly label Good Deeds Theology! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

What did you think of Dr. Fauci and his handling of the six-feet distancing protocol during the COVID pandemic? Months after the COVID pandemic ended, he testified to Congress that the six-feet protocol was a “decision that wasn’t based on data.” But he certainly didn’t project that earlier…while Americans stood like sheep on separated circles in their grocery stores.

So, how do you address a bad filter in your life when you find it? A “bad filter,” you might say? What’s a bad filter? Yes, that’s when someone—a church, a denomination, a pastor, a teacher—occupies spiritual space between you and the Word of God…and that intermediary wrongly handles, distorts, or ignores truth from the Word. This has been happening since the time of Paul and his pointing out what a “different gospel” was about. And that’s been true from then until today. Join Kevin as we dive into the topic of “the Word of God and bad filters.”  // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

How about believers today…and how about you—are you limiting the voice of God in your life? Join Kevin as we dive in the extraordinary reality of “man limiting the voice of God, then and now!” // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.
