But What Does The Bible Say?

Sorry that I didn't do any editing for this video.  We're going to be taking a hiatus, and we don't know for how long.  We've had two children placed in our home as emergent foster care, and we're now on the hook for paying for daycare.  Plus, it's more important for us, in this moment to show the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ and put these two kids before running a YouTube channel.  So, I'm ixnaying all my subscription based software and services until, either the children are placed back with their parents, or we're a couple years down the road and both the children are in school.  We hope to be back in...sometime in the future.  Love you all, and God Bless.

As the Podcast series "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill" wraps up, we have to make a decision on what to do with all the dirt.  Some will take the data and use it as ammunition against the "General Church".  For us, we see the opportunity for a lesson in what Church leadership should not look like.  A dive into a compare and contrast with the 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 requirements for Overseers (Pastors/Elders) and Deacons and the leadership of Mars Hill Church.  We should always take the opportunity to study the lessons learned.Biblical References1 Timothy 3:1-13Titus 1:5-9The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill Podcast:  Click Here!Want to email us?

Men, we are used to solving the problem.  When a wife is diagnosed with breast cancer, our natural instincts kick in, and we want to fight.  You'll see these husbands constantly badgering doctors..."why aren't you doing more for my wife?" Truth is, it's often the first time in their lives that they felt helpless.  Men, just trying to figure out what they can do to help.  In some ways this was me.  But the doctors handling Nikki's case were outstanding, and we couldn't have asked for better.  They always showed genuine care for my wife.  But I was still lost, not knowing what I could do.  And, there aren't a lot of support groups for the husbands.  So, I prayed.  Those were some of the longest conversations with God I had ever had. You become a hardened prayer warrior and learn to be the strength that your wife needs to go on, even though emotionally, you lose it in secret.  As I mentioned, some men go into fight mode, the second group of men...they go into flight mode.  And they're the ones that really need to listen up.Biblical ReferencesGenesis 2:21-24 Ephesians 5:25-331 Corinthians 13:4-7Matthew 19:3-9 Want to email us?

To him be glory forever. Amen.  12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.1 Corinthians 10:3131 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.Matthew 19:16-2216 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19 Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said to him, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.1 Timothy 4:7-87 Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; 8 for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.1 Corinthians 9: 24-2624 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air.2 Timothy 4:77 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.Romans 5:3-53 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.References:1.

Welcome to the But What Does The Bible Say Podcast!  Last week, Tim and Rodney took a deep dive into the Deconstruction Movement, and looked to Mark 4:3-20 for the answers.  This week, they look at 1 Timothy, Titus and 1 Peter to look at what the Bible has to say about Church Leaders (Elders, Overseers and Deacons).James 2:1-72 My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. 2 For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, 3 and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” 4 have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? 5 Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who blaspheme the honorable name by which you were called?Leviticus 19:1515 “You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.Deuteronomy 1:1717 You shall not be partial in judgment. You shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be intimidated by anyone, for the judgment is God's. And the case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.'Proverbs 24:2323 These also are sayings of the wise.Partiality in judging is not good.James 2:8-98 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.News Story about woman stealing money to hit the top tier of giving at The Wave Church, Virginia Beach:  Click here!Want to email us?

Welcome to the But What Does The Bible Say Podcast!  Last week, Tim and Rodney took a deep dive into the Deconstruction Movement, and looked to Mark 4:3-20 for the answers.  This week, they look at 1 Timothy, Titus and 1 Peter to look at what the Bible has to say about Church Leaders (Elders, Overseers and Deacons).James 3:1Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.1 Peter 5:2-32 shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3 not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.1 Timothy 3:1-7"The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Therefore an overseer[a] must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil."Titus 1:5-95 This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you— 6 if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. 7 For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, 8 but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. 9 He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.Want to email us?

Welcome to the But What Does The Bible Say Podcast!  In this episode, Tim and Rodney take a deep dive into the Deconstruction Movement, and look to Mark 4:3-20 for the answers.  Is this really the Church's fault?Mark 4:3-203 “Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. 6 And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8 And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” 9 And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”10 And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. 11 And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, 12 so that“‘they may indeed see but not perceive,    and may indeed hear but not understand,lest they should turn and be forgiven.'”13 And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14 The sower sows the word. 15 And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them. 16 And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy. 17 And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.[a] 18 And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word, 19 but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 20 But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”Want to email us?
