    Episode 629: Why does God allow Bad things to happen to Good people?

    No one can claim to totally understand God. His thoughts are at a higher level than ours. Why God allows tragic events in this world- we can only partially comprehend. With all this in mind we will discuss this intriguing and vital topic in our current world of tragic events.

  2. 627

    Episode 628: If There Is No God

    If there is no God then how does one decide on standards and true values? Are good and evil just a matter of personal opinion? Can we base them on human feelings? But this approach is subject to a lot of variations. Some may believe that some crimes are justified because you are poor. Others see this as sowing seeds of chaos. Note what happens to a society in moral decline.

  3. 626

    Episode 627: The Fruits Of Courage part 2

    Daniel started with a small issue to show courage, food at the king's table. They were blessed for so doing and became the best students in the Babylonian government management program.

  4. 625

    Episode 626: The Fruits Of Courage

    The courage of Daniel probably paved the way for Darius to authorize the return of the Jews to Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the Temple of God. Remember, the second Temple was needed for the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth the Messiah. Otherwise, Jesus and His apostles New Covenant gospel would not exist on such a special stage. Note Daniel's influence on the Emperor of the Persians who sent the Jews back to the Holy Land.

  5. 624

    Episode 625: What Is Christian Liberty - Part 2

    CAN GOD'S LAWS BE MISUSED AND ABUSED ? The answer is an obvious, yes. Therefore when the Apostle Paul says we are saved by grace and not the law, is he rejecting the law? That would be totally ungodly and that is not what he meant. Believers are justified by grace but it has never been a license for lawbreaking or sin.The Apostle to the gentiles tells the churches at Galatia to remain free, what does he really mean by liberty in Christ? Our focus will be on the book of Galatians- where those words come from 'stand fast in liberty'.

  6. 623

    Episode 624: What Is Christian liberty

    The Apostle to the gentiles tells the churches at Galatia to remain free, what does he really mean by liberty in Christ? Our focus will be on the book of Galatians- where those words come from 'stand fast in liberty'.

  7. 622

    Episode 623: Abortion And Child Sacrifice

    Just about all ancient cultures sacrificed innocent infants to false pagan gods and superstitions. They are clearly horrible deceptions of ancient mankind. The brutal reasons can be summarized with the acronym RICE.

  9. 620

    Episode 622: The First Commandment

    Christ made a major revelation to his critics regarding the purpose for the Law. Christ said the Law was made for man-not man for the Sabbath law.

  10. 619

    Episode 621: Can Christians Be Patriots

    Was America birthed by the Puritans for pure Biblical religious purposes ? If this is true has America been trying to become a true light on a shining hill to the world? Therefore is patriotism more appropriate for a nation born of Judaeo-Christian principles? The answer is yes.

  11. 618

    Episode 620: Fatherhood And The 5th Commandment

    The last six commandments introduce us to a series of laws that define the proper relationships with other people while the first four show how to LOVE God. This commandment is a bridge between the two areas. The fifth commandment underscores the importance of respect for authority, for a well-run society. People must learn how to show respect to others especially parents and grandparents.

  12. 617

    Episode 619: The State of the Dead

    What is the state of the departed? Some records of near death experiences consistently show them floating off from their physical bodies toward a bright light. What can we make of these experiences? Are their expectations influencing their dreams? What does the word of God say about the matter?

  13. 616

    Episode 618: Is Asceticism Biblical?

    Paul knew that the Colossian Church was under heavy Greek Philosophical pressures living in a Greek society. He warned of the dangerous influence.

    Episode: 617 Avoiding the Unpardonable Sin

  16. 613

    Episode: 616 Is Once Saved Always Saved biblical

    Biblical truth is spread throughout the books of the Bible and therefore one must consider a number of verses from the entirety of the word of God to find the truth. God makes this concept clear.

  17. 612

    Episode 615: Rebuilding The Temple And The Three Prophets (part 2)

    The duality of biblical prophecies is a factor in any future speculations of how and when the Eternal God will commission the building of the Third Temple.

  18. 611

    Episode: 614 Rebuilding The Temple And The Three Prophets

    The duality of biblical prophecies is a factor in any future speculations of how and when the Eternal God will commission the building of the Third Temple which must be in place for end time events. Jesus himself foretold this repeating pattern of the desolation of the Temple.

  19. 610

    Episode 613: Assyria and the Book of Nahum

    Who are the modern day descendants of the Assyrians? They were the dominant empire prior to the Babylonians and took the northern ten tribes of Israel into captivity.

  20. 609

    Episode: 612 Getting Closer To God, Law or Grace

    Paul, early in his letter to the believers in Rome, clarified the seeming contradictions between law and grace. First, we also need to establish that grace is not a new doctrine, but existed in the Old Testament. Also remember that Jesus is the God of the Old Testament, I Cor.10:1-4.

  21. 608

    Episode: 611 Spiritual Warfare And The Prince Of Persia

    When one reads certain historical events in the Bible it becomes clear that an over arching power struggle exists. A battle between high ranking demons and angelic forces swirl around the great empires and prophets. Note what Daniel is told :

  22. 607

    Best Of Episode: The New Covenant Passover

    Enjoy our Passover episode form last year.

  23. 606

    Episode 610 Preparing For The Lord's Supper

    It is obvious that Jesus is the Lamb of God and the true lamb of the Passover. Israel's rescue from Egypt was simply a model for God's rescue of all mankind someday.

  24. 605

    Episode 609 Jeremiah's Warning to the World

    When one considers that his messages were given over twenty six centuries ago and yet are so relevant for our modern world it is astounding. Some of the issues that existed in 600 B.C. Are relevant for our society today

  25. 604

    Episode 608 The War in Iran and the Purim Connection

    We find something special and unique about Israel's warriors. If America is part of the lost ten tribes of Israel, one would expect to see this connection with Judah and their military. The Bible records this military difference from other nations.

  26. 603

    Episode 607 Have the Lost Ten Tribes been Erased from History Part 2

    Those with only a cursory knowledge of the Bible think everything in the Old Testament is about the southern kingdom of Judah. They seem to be unaware of the split of Israel and therefore misunderstand quite a lot of the Bible.

  27. 602

    episode 605 The Dark Origins of valentines day

    Did God give His people a sign or mark that would define and set apart true believers in God from all the paganism ? Yes, He did give them a sign to label them as God's people.

  28. 601

    Episode 604 Is Sabbath Keeping Beneficial Or Has It Been Replaced Part II

    Did God give His people a sign or mark that would define and set apart true believers in God from all the paganism ? Yes, He did give them a sign to label them as God's people.

  29. 600

    Episode 603 Is Sabbath Keeping Beneficial Or Has It Been Replaced?

    If God is righteous and good then all of His commands to men are for our benefit. For example, the Sabbath Law is for our good and THIS is made plain by the words of the Son of God.

  30. 599

    Episode 602 ARE THE JEWS THE ONLY CHOSEN PEOPLE OR ARE CHRISTIANS Part II

    THE BIBLE IS ONE CONTINUOUS BOOK. It has themes and central messages from God to mankind. One of the messages is that God is working through the family of Abraham, the Israelites.

  31. 598

    Episode 601 ARE THE JEWS THE ONLY CHOSEN PEOPLE OR ARE CHRISTIANS

    Israel as God's chosen people, served the word of God and were separate from the gentile worldly doctrines. They alone knew the true God, not the pagans.

  32. 597

    Episode 600 Can Believers Names Be Erased From the Book of Life

    Most nominal Christians assert that once saved always saved! However this assertion is challenged by a number of scriptures, primarily in regards to the dead church.

  33. 596

    Episode 599 The Second and Third Horsemen of the Apocalypse

    First the world faces hate filled deceptive propaganda from the rider on the first white horse. These facilitates control of vast populations that can be whipped up into a war frenzy. This leads easily into the second rider on a red horse war. The aftermath of war is food shortages. This leads to the third rider on a black horse signifying famine. Starvation was a big factor in WWI as it will be in the future for this planet.

  34. 595

    Episode 598 How Charlie Kirk found the Real Sabbath

    Charlie describes his finding of the true Sabbath and how it enriched his life. However few have noticed or covered this wonderful example of being open to truth, popular or not. Mr. Kirk went back into the word of God to the beginning. How God rested on the seventh day and made it Holy. Note Gen.2:2-3. He also saw that it was the marker or sign of 'who was your God '. The God of creation is the real God.

  35. 594

    Episode 595 In the Last Days What _______????

    We will take a deep dive into a vital end time prediction. Paul predicts that all the degenerative influences of the demonic forces will undermine people near the return of Christ. They will be so weakened that the society will become increasingly dangerous.

  36. 593

    Episode 596 Can We Really Love Jesus Christ And Handle the Christmas Season with Spiritual Wisdom?

    Many fear the extreme commercialization of the Christmas season. It often leads to a lot of disillusionment. While other informed believers are worried about being polluted by the pagan traditions included in the season.

  37. 592

    Episode 597 Is Kirk Cameron Correct About Hell?

    Mr. Cameron and other leading Protestants are now coming to grips with the problem of a continually burning hell fire. It means that our loving God is sanctioning torture. God is love and would never be Sadistic. Further, an ever burning hell torture chamber for the unsaved is rewarding Satan with more souls to burn forever that he led astray. The fate of the unsaved is to be burned up quickly. Their sinful, troubled life is permanently ended – this is called annihilation. The defiantly wicked who resist God will be, on judgment day, ashes. Kirk is correct in realizing that God is not a Masochist.

    Episode 594 Who is the First of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ?

    A hero comes on a white horse to rescue those in need. But this rider on the white horse comes as a counterfeit hero. He brings with him evil, war famine and death. Wars are often preceded by an wicked leader with a lot of control over the people.

    Episode 593 The Hidden Forbidden True History of the First Thanksgiving!

    We love thanksgiving and there has never been a pagan overtone to it. It is simple. Thanksgiving is GIVING thanks to God. That may explain in part to why it is Minimized in our culture and hidden in education. The history of the creation of thanksgiving is surprising and unknown. (George Washington, John Adams, and James Madison) tried to set aside a National day of Thanksgiving. However official Thanksgiving Day came in 1863, after President Lincoln observed the tragedy of Gettysburg. The largest battle and most decisive ever fought in the North American continent. He wrote in, 1863.

  41. 588

    Episode 592 An In depth look at Resurrection VS. Rapture

    A vast amount of writings have enveloped these doctrines- Confusion and disagreements abound dividing God's people. There are four different versions of the rapture. We will scrutinize the scripture carefully to try and diminish the confusion as much as is possible. It is a recent doctrine, not from the first century but 1830's based on a girl's vision. She said the vision was of a select group of believers who would be caught up to heaven before the great tribulation. It naturally appeals to pride in being the inner circle or the best of the best of believers. Remember :

    Episode 591 Is Halloween harmless and the occult roots meaningless in our modern age ?

    Most people believe that all the witch led Halloween activities are harmless fun. However one should ask what does God think. What would an in depth biblical analysis reveal? CLEARLY IT IS PART OF MANKIND'S HERITAGE. Today this is viewed positively. But what does God think?

    Episode 590 Can President Trump or someone like him Push Israel to Build the Third Temple?

    President Trump has ascended as the world leader and America as the prominent super power. He also has great credibility with both the Islamic leaders of nations and Judah or Israel. Therefore he could demand the rebuilding of the third Temple more than anyone since Israel existence , 1948. Cyrus the great and Darius both would imperial power in the world ordered that the Jews be allowed to return from captivity to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple.
