This week we’re talking about churches canceling services for Christmas. December 25th falls on a Sunday this year. And while most churches in the religious world place a special emphasis on this as a day to celebrate the birth of Jesus, there are a number of churches that are planning not to meet at all because of the holiday. There are some points I want us to consider about this.Continue Reading

This week we’re going to talk about assisted suicide (also called “medical assistance in dying”). This is a practice that is rapidly expanding in Canada after the country legalized it a few years ago. With the way our culture continues to devalue human life, this trend is not surprising and it may not be long before it spreads to this country. As Christians, it’s important that we have an understanding of what the Bible teaches that pertains to this issue. So that’s what we’re going to discuss in this episode.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about a street preacher in the U.K. who was charged with violating the Public Order Act by citing a Bible passage about homosexuality. The prosecutor claimed that such passages are “no longer appropriate in modern society.” Unfortunately, he’s not the only one who believes this. There are even religious people who would shy away from certain passages in the Bible. We’re going to consider some points about this today.Continue Reading

So in our episode today, we’re going to talk about this idea of gratitude and how it is connected with happiness and contentment.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about the Bible and whether it is still relevant in our modern world. It is sometimes amazing to see just how different our world is today compared to how it was a hundred years ago – or even ten years ago. Not just technology, but also the values and morals of the world around us are completely foreign to what we knew if we “grew up in the church.” Because of this, many have concluded (sadly, even some in the church) that the Bible is just not relevant anymore. So that’s what we’re going to talk about today.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about voting and why Christians choose how they will vote. I am not going to try to persuade you to vote a certain way – after all, this episode is being released after the election. However, I do believe it is important to consider this question – What should Christians want from their leaders? As with everything else we discuss on this podcast, we are going to try to see what the Bible says and how it applies to the topic under consideration.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.
