This week I’m joined by Kristofer Gardana, and we’re talking about a public school teacher who was reprimanded for including a Bible verse in her email signature. This is another example showing how our society is becoming more hostile toward God and His word. As this happens, there will be more places where Christians simply are no longer welcome. We’re going to discuss this in our episode today.Continue Reading

This week I’m joined by Kristofer Gardana, and we’re talking about comments from the pope about Hell. In a recent interview, the head of the Catholic Church claimed that Hell was not “a place,” but was “a state of the heart” and “a posture towards life.” As more people misunderstand this topic, it is important to be reminded of what the Bible teaches about Hell.Continue Reading

This week I’m going to share some thoughts on three books I’ve read recently. The three books all deal with the topic of social media. This relatively new technology has saturated our culture to the extent that it is difficult to imagine a world without it anymore. Social media affects everyone – even the few who do not use it. Those of us who do use it need to be especially careful about how it is affecting us.Continue Reading

This week I’m joined by Kristofer Gardana, and we’re talking about a megachurch that is facing a lawsuit because they were forcing staff members to tithe 10% of their wages to the church. Not only does this story bring up the issue of tithing to the church, it also gives us an opportunity to discuss how the church conducts its “business” – whether as a business or as a local community of Christians.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about Easter. This Sunday is Easter Sunday, which means churches across the country and around the world are preparing special services and events in celebration of this holiday that supposedly is to remember the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. What does the Bible say about this? We’re going to discuss that in our episode 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.
