Are Some Sins Worse Than Others? (Episode 16)

00:00 / 22:50

Plain Bible Teaching Podcast

The question we’ll be considering in this episode is this:

Are some sins worse than others?

Are all sins basically the same, or are some sins somehow worse? We could answer either way, depending on which angle we’re looking at the question. In this episode we’ll consider both sides of this question. In one sense, we could say that some sins are worse than others. On the other hand, there are some things that all sins have in common.

00:00 / 38:59

Plain Bible Teaching Podcast

The question we’ll be considering in this episode was submitted via email:

When is it time to leave a congregation?

When difficult situations, challenges, problems, etc. affect our local churches, we often wonder if we should stay or leave to become part of another congregation. Besides this, even if we aren’t experiencing challenges or problems in our local church, we may sometimes wonder if it would be better for us to leave and become part of another congregation – for various reasons. In this episode, we’re going to consider some principles that will hopefully help us answer our question.

00:00 / 30:07

Plain Bible Teaching Podcast

The question we’ll be considering in this episode was submitted via the podcast question submission form:

What about the head covering?

The issue over the head covering has been a controversial issue among brethren. It is discussed in just one 16-verse passage in the New Testament, yet there have been entire books written about it. We will take a brief look at this passage to see what we can learn about the head covering.

Can (should) congregations be “marked”?

Does Satan Have the Power to Perform Signs Today? (Episode 11)

00:00 / 17:20

Plain Bible Teaching Podcast

The question we’ll be considering in this episode was submitted via the podcast question submission form:

Does Satan have the power to perform signs today?

How is Satan able to influence the world today? Is he able to do supernatural things in order to influence us to sin? Or is there another way in which he may influence us? We certainly need to be on guard against him, but we also need to understand his limitations so we can have confidence in God’s promise that we can overcome him.
