This week we’re talking about a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays who shared a social media post that was deemed offensive by LGBT promoters and supporters. Not long after he was coerced into making an apology, he was cut by the team. For many in our culture, promoting Biblical standards of sexuality and gender is an unforgivable sin. We’re going to talk about this today.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

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
“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:
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
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.
