This week we’re talking about the recent attacks against Israel by the Iranian-backed terrorist group, Hamas. With this happening in the midst of other major global events, many people are wondering if (or even predicting) we are on the brink of World War III. Is that coming? And if it is, what are we to do as Christians?Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about how AI can be used to generate “fake” Bible verses. The danger in this is that those who are not familiar with the Scriptures can be easily deceived by fake verses that sound vaguely like Biblical statements but contain teaching that is contrary to what the Bible actually says. Instead, they will provide some sense of comfort to people who simply want to hear what they want to hear.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about the “prosperity gospel.” According to a new study, a growing number of churchgoers believe that if they give more to the church, God will bless them more financially. The Bible does not teach this, but we need to be careful not to dismiss what the Bible teaches about prosperity when we reject the “prosperity gospel.” So we’re going to discuss that today.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about “hustle culture.” What is that? It has to do with the idea of engaging in some type of work in addition to one’s regular job (sometimes called a “side hustle”) in order to pursue some personally fulfilling goal – whether that is in the work itself or the advantages that come from the additional income. Is something like this in harmony with the teachings and principles of Scripture? Or is it something that Christians should be wary about? We’re going to talk about this today.Continue Reading

This week I’m joined by Kristofer Gardana, and we’re talking about a law in Mexico that would allow people to “renew” their marriage every few years. If they did not renew their marriage, they would be considered “divorced.” There may be a lot of people who would prefer this as it would be an easy way to get out of marriage without a messy divorce. And, since so many people consider marriage to be temporary anyway, this would seem to make sense from a worldly perspective. However, it does not reflect the wisdom of God or the teachings of His word. So we’re going to discuss this in our episode today.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about the return of COVID. There has been a lot of talk lately of a new variant, mask mandates, and lockdowns. We went through all of this three years ago and it seemed like we were able to put this behind us, but now it seems like it’s about to be thrust upon us again. So, if all of these things come back, how should we, as Christians, handle it?

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.
