This week’s episode is going to be a little bit different. Rather than talking about a specific news story or article, we’re going to be talking about a particular concept that is popular in our society today. It is the idea that we cannot be critical of or condemn someone’s behavior or lifestyle as long as they are “not hurting anyone.” This has been used for years to justify the use of drugs and things like that. More recently, it is used to defend homosexuality and transgenderism. If it can be proven that one’s behavior does not physically/mentally/emotionally/spiritually harm another person, does that mean the behavior is justified? We’re going to explore that question by considering some Biblical principles today.Continue Reading

This week we’re going to be talking about churches offering a money-back guarantee on your tithing.

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.
