This week I’m joined by Kristofer Gardana, and we’re talking about whether “fellowship meals” are part of the work of the church. In the religious world today, it has become expected for churches to host meals and offer food as part of their basic function. Is that what we see the early church doing? Does that fit in the pattern we find in the New Testament? We’re going to discuss that in this episode.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about ecumenism. This is the movement to promote unity among various religious groups despite differences they have with one another in their doctrines and practices. In a recent episode, Kristofer Gardana joined me to talk about the temptation for churches to welcome anyone and everyone who comes to them. This is related to that topic, but has more to do with churches joining together with other churches and cooperating in various activities, ministries, and events. Is this something our local churches should be doing? We’re going to consider this today.Continue Reading

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.Continue Reading

This week I’m joined by Kristofer Gardana, and we’re talking about the difference between being welcoming and extending fellowship in our local churches. Failing to properly differentiate between these two ideas could lead us to extend fellowship beyond the limits given in the New Testament. We want to welcome people so that we can help lead them to the truth. But we cannot ignore the truth for fear of offending them. We’re going to talk about all of this today.Continue Reading
What does “propitiation” mean? How is “justification” connected to salvation? What does “sanctification” look like in our day-to-day lives? The Bible uses some powerful words to describe God’s plan to save mankind. However, these words are not always easy to understand, especially when they are not part of our everyday vocabulary. This book explores key Bible terms that unlock the message of the gospel.
Big Words in the Bible examines five important words – Propitiation, Reconciliation, Sanctification, Justification, and Resurrection – using plain language to see how the Scriptures describe these concepts and how the apostle Paul employs them in his letter to the Romans. This book also contains an appendix with eleven additional articles to explore these topics further.
Whether you are new to the Bible and want to grow in your understanding or want a simple way to explain these core gospel doctrines to others, this book will be helpful. With a focus on the Scriptures, Big Words in the Bible helps break down these fundamental topics to shed light on the life-changing message of the gospel and the salvation found in it.
