Plain Bible Teaching Podcast

This week we’re talking about what it would take to end poverty. Is that even possible? Many people – Christians and non-Christians – are concerned for the poor. Many resources are given to help those who are in need. Charitable organizations have been established to provide assistance to the less fortunate. Many government programs are funded, supposedly for the purpose of ending poverty. Yet poverty still exists. Why is that? We’re going to discuss that today.

Jesus said, “For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me” (John 12:8). There will always be people who are poor – but WHY?

Peter issued this challenge to all Christians: “But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence” (1 Peter 3:15). However, many Christians feel unprepared to do this; therefore, many conversations that could potentially lead people to the truth never get started.

This book will help equip all Christians to start engaging in spiritual conversations with those around them by providing simple answers to some basic Bible questions. Being ready to give an answer does not mean having an answer to every possible question at the drop of a hat. Instead, it means being able to give a ready answer to questions that are fundamental to our faith that can open the door to further discussions and studies with those who are interested. By studying the material in this book and becoming familiar with the Scriptures cited in each answer, Christians will be better prepared and have more confidence when they discuss their faith with others.
