We’re going to talk about all of this in our episode today.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about empathy. I recently read a new book by Joe Rigney – The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits. This book has received a lot of criticism because, in our society, empathy is seen as being unquestionably good. But is it? Or is it possible for it to be corrupted? We’re going to consider this in our episode today.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about the decline of kitchens in church buildings across the country. This used to be a controversial topic among brethren in previous generations, but now it seems that it is becoming less common in the current generation. I saw an article this week that discussed the reasons for this, which were very interesting. I thought it would be good for us to consider some points in our episode today.Continue Reading

This week, we’re talking about a controversial email that government employees received this past weekend telling them to reply back with a list of things they accomplished last week or be fired. People have some strong opinions about this, and I think it is good for us to think about this from a Biblical perspective.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about a new app that has been developed by a pastor that has an A.I. version of himself available to respond to people and even pray for them at any time. It is, in essence, their own “personal pastor.” This may be an amazing use of technology, but is it a good idea?Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about what people look for in a new church (and the answer may surprise you). Obviously, we are not to compromise the truth or leave the pattern found in the New Testament in order to attract more people. But it is helpful to understand where others may be coming from if we want to help them know how to faithfully serve the Lord.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.
