This week we’re talking about UFOs and the possibility of alien life forms visiting earth from other planets. Recently, some military officials testified before Congress about the U.S. Government’s cover-up about UFOs and other information they had collected related to that. If it turned out to be true that aliens exist and had visited the earth, what would that mean from a spiritual standpoint? We’re going to talk about that today.Continue Reading

Answering Basic Questions (Part 1): Who Is God?

Answering Basic Questions

The natural world around us with its order, complexity, and continuous systems is proof of the existence of a higher power. Our universe could not have come about by mere chance, nor could it have arisen from nothingness – it came from God.

But who is God? Let us consider four points that will help us begin to answer that question.Continue Reading

This week, instead of a regular episode, I’m going to be sharing the audio from a sermon I preached recently for the congregation where I preach regularly – the Eastside church of Christ in Morgantown, KY. The sermon is titled, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, and is based upon a passage in Psalm 139. So many of the problems in our society (abortion, transgenderism, racism, etc.) are the result of people either rejecting or never learning the principles contained in this passage. Since we discuss social issues on this podcast and this sermon is related to that, I thought it would be good to share.Continue Reading

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Baby

For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well” (Psalm 139:13-14).

The Bible clearly identifies God as the creator of all things. The verse above makes this personal, showing that each one of us has been created by Him. The psalmist used two words to describe this:

  • Fearfully – This word signifies something that causes one to revere or to stand in awe of something. The way God has formed each one of us is awe-inspiring and is a reason to approach Him in reverence.
  • Wonderfully – This word is used to describe something that is distinguished or set apart. God created us to be special among all the other things He has made.

The fact that we have been “fearfully and wonderfully made” teaches certain things about us. These are important to note, especially given certain mentalities and behaviors that are pervasive in our society.Continue Reading

Shout Joyfully to the Lord

Man under the Northern Lights

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the Lord Himself is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations” (Psalm 100:1-5).

This psalm begins with a universal call to praise God. It gives us some insight into how we offer praise to Him and describes some of the reasons why He is worthy of such praise.

Let us notice some of the things this psalm tells us about how and why we are to praise the Lord.Continue Reading
