It is certainly a great privilege to be able to vote to hopefully influence the direction of the rulers for good. As Christians, how should we vote?

This week we’re talking about a recent comment made by Tim Walz, the Democrat nominee for Vice President, in which he likened socialism to neighborliness. I try not to get into political discussions on the podcast, but comments like this attempt to equate this political ideology with the teachings of Jesus to love your neighbor as yourself. Is socialism just being a good neighbor, or is it something different? We’re going to talk about this in our episode today – not from a political perspective, but a Biblical one.Continue Reading

This week we’re talking about a new mandate that will require the Bible to be taught in public school classrooms in Oklahoma. For years, we have heard of the Bible, prayer, and anything pertaining to religion disappearing from the public sphere in this country. This seems to be an effort to reverse that trend. Is that a good thing? We’ll consider that in our episode today.Continue Reading
Nearly a decade ago, I preached a sermon with this same title following a mass shooting. Sadly, this country is still very much in need of “fixing.” And, of course, our society is full of people with ideas on how to do this. Yet so many of the “solutions” that are suggested are misguided, incomplete, and short-sighted.
Unsurprisingly, the problems that exist in our society have increased and worsened as the people of our nation have turned away from God and His word. The only real solution is to turn to the Scriptures and follow the principles and precepts found therein.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.
