In this episode of Cogitations, Tony Bruin confronts the confusion between obedience and legalism. Drawing from Matthew 18 and 1 Corinthians 5, he lays out God's revealed system for church discipline and warns against the cultural influences—feminism, emotionalism, and therapeutic softness—that have led many churches to neglect it. He addresses the creeping entitlement behind objections to “enforcement” and defends the authority of Scripture against modern spiritual subjectivism. Faithfulness demands courage. Obedience is not legalism. Church discipline is not cruelty—it is love in action. This is a wake-up call to churches that have fallen silent out of fear of backlash or discomfort. If the church will not act on what God commands, then it ceases to be the church.

The Inherent Contradiction of Denying Absolute Truth In this episode of the Cogitations podcast, hosted by Tony Brewer, the core topic revolves around the concept of absolute truth. Brewer begins with an introduction to the podcast series and a biblical reference from Daniel 7:28. He emphasizes the importance of discussing absolute truth rather than keeping opinions to oneself. Brewer shares an anecdote involving Drew Leonard's university experience, where a professor's attempt to disprove absolute truths falls apart due to inherent contradictions. The discussion critiques relativism, highlighting that denying absolute truths is logically and morally unsustainable. Brewer argues that truth is grounded in the character of God and warns of the societal consequences of relativistic thinking. The podcast concludes with purposes for Christians to defend absolute truth and maintain consistency in their faith and reasoning . 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview 00:33 Housekeeping and Community Engagement 02:15 Supporting the Podcast 03:46 Discussion on Absolute Truth 08:11 Relativism and Its Flaws 14:57 Biblical Perspective on Truth 19:00 Q&A and Final Thoughts Be sure to support the channel and the work by going to Facebook and liking and sharing our stuff.

After the death of Jesus, Peter said, 'I go a fishing,' returning to what was familiar during a time of uncertainty. This lesson explores the human tendency to retreat to comfort and the difference between grounding ourselves in Christ versus falling back into worldly habits. Returning to Christ in hardship is godly and strengthening, but reverting to the world is spiritually harmful. With discipline and a strong faith community, we can anchor ourselves in Christ, even in the toughest times   for Bible questions and show topic suggestions send and email to: www.christianityisnow@gmail.com   Be sure to follow us on "X" formerly known as Twitter: https://twitter.com/1Chronicles1232   If you want to support the show monthly, www.patreon.com/christianitynow   You can do a one time donation through PayPal: nearchurches@gmail.com   #christianitynow #christianitytoday #varietyshow #bibletime #biblestudy #gospel #biblequestions #bibleanswers #venting #gossip #bibletalk #biblepodcast #christiancontent #christianliving #biblicalworldview #faithjourney #fatihwalk #biblestudy #biblereading #livestream #biblequestions #livequestions #liveanswers
