Onward in the Faith

If Satan's very nature makes him incapable of things like whispering lies into our minds or personally attacking thousands of people at once, what do we make of the verses that imply we need to watch out for his attacks? This episode digs in to a part of language we use every day that can help us better distinguish between the being known as Satan and the world system he's responsible for.

When suffering, sometimes we go into "survival mode" and set aside may important things in our lives. Sometimes, we wonder if we should bother reading the Bible when it's too difficult. This episode helps you think through how we should understand the effects of suffering on our Bible reading, how to be on guard against the deceptiveness of our flesh, and how to rejoice in giving God everything we have in our daily devotions (especially when we don't have much to give).  Scripture Used: Psalm 34 Conscience book: https://a.co/d/bGNjmOB Support My Work  • Monthly Support: https://www.Patreon.com/OnwardintheFaith  • One-Time Donations: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/OnwardintheFaith | https://account.venmo.com/u/Ray-Burns-6 Check Out My Devotionals on Amazon (affiliate links):  • 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://amzn.to/4kGDDgE  • 25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://amzn.to/41GuqfK Hashtags #Christianity #Theology #Faith #Pain #Suffering #ChronicPain Music Credits  • YouTube Outro Music by UNIVERSFIELD from Pixabay  • Podcast Outro Music by LesFM from Pixabay

If we believe in a good and sovereign God, are we wrong to want Him to heal us? Can we over-emphasize our desire to be healed? How can we find a good balance? This episode digs in to a question many people may not think to ask, but it is an important question to answer for those who do ask it.

You'll often hear me say "God doesn't call us to be healthy, but He does call us to be holy." I know this will bother some people, especially those who have been exposed to the Prosperity Gospel. This episode focuses on what I've learned from God's word that makes me want sufferers to understand and embrace this important truth so that they can more fully glorify God, even in their pain.

The Divine Council Worldview doesn't just affect how we read the Bible; it changes our lives. So why do so many people (including me!) react so poorly when we first encounter it? And does it really matter if we embrace it?

About This Video How do we read and study the Bible? What's the difference between the two? Are there things we should avoid when reading the Bible? This episode takes a first step in exploring Systematic Theology. If we want to have a biblical worldview, we must know what the Bible says and means. That means we must read the Bible for what it is: a divinely inspired historical document.

Yet as we learn more about Satan, we see more of what it truly means that he's the "god of this world" (2 Corinthians 4:4). In this final teaching on who Satan truly is, we look at many specific tools Satan uses to blind the world to the gospel and weaken Christ's followers. It's a long one, but it will also be one that encourages us to lean even more on our perfect Savior.   My discussions on mental health: https://onwardinthefaith.com/christians-and-psychology/ Christian Nationalism: https://onwardinthefaith.com/christian-nationalism-a-false-teaching-we-must-reject/   00:00 Intro 00:36 Series Recap 03:39 In This Episode 05:04 The Core of Worldliness 07:48 The Worldliness We Ignore: Finding Happiness 16:23 The Worldliness We Ignore: Finding Satisfaction 24:59 The Worldliness We Ignore: Finding Our Identity 43:41 The Worldliness That Shapes Us 1:02:02 Living Day to Day 1:06:08 Living Alongside Others 1:08:20 Why the Gospel Matters to Our Discussion 1:20:47 Practical Steps for Living in This World 1:27:40 Next Time 1:31:38 Outro   Get my books from Amazon! 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://a.co/2N9hWtH 25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://a.co/0zoq8IH   Outro music by LesFM from Pixabay

This rounds out my lengthy discussion on who Satan really is and what he can do. Although I can't dig deeply into every single verse, this episode will better equip you to think about Satan in a way that fits with the rest of what God's word reveals about Satan, our sin, and what the Christian life must look like. In the end, my prayer has been that a better understanding of how Satan works through worldliness will help all of us see how much we need Jesus for every single moment of our lives.   The sound quality isn't up to my normal standards.

Why are we tempted? Can we blame Satan or his demons for implanting thoughts and desires? Is he responsible for our sinful choices? This episode digs into a simple truth from James 1. However, before that truth can make sense to us as it did to his original audience, we have to be careful not to assume things about Satan that the Bible either doesn't say or completely contradicts. When we understand this, we may better be able to kill our sin before it starts because we'll understand where the temptation is truly coming from.   Get my books from Amazon! 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://a.co/2N9hWtH 25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://a.co/0zoq8IH   Teaching video GCR and Saylorville websites   Join my monthly supporters: www.Patreon.com/OnwardintheFaith One-time donations:  PayPal or Venmo   Outro music by LesFM from Pixabay

God saved us. Now what? Hebrews 10 reminds us to think about what Jesus did, and who we are in Him, so that we can live holy lives for the few short years we're on this earth. If we choose rebellion after Christ has forgiven our sins, God promises us that He will discipline us like the good and perfect father that He is. As Christians, we are left with two choices - we can face God's discipline, even to the point of death, or we can endure through the freedom Jesus gave us and the transforming power of the holy spirit in our lives.   And if you've ever wondered why Hebrews 10:26-27 sounds like you can lose your salvation, this episode is for you.   Get my books from Amazon! 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://a.co/2N9hWtH 25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://a.co/0zoq8IH   Join my monthly supporters: www.Patreon.com/OnwardintheFaith One-time donations:  PayPal or Venmo   Saylorville Church & Gospel Centered Recovery   Scripture used: Hebrews 10, Deuteronomy 17:7-8,  Hebrews 12:7, 1 Corinthians 11:30, 1 John 5:16   Outro music by LesFM from Pixabay

Context is king. When we don't understand what the author and his audience understood, thought about, and believed, it's nearly impossible to understand what's really being said. This episode is a teaching I did in Hebrews 9 where I dig in to what this Jewish audience believed about the old covenant, tabernacle, high priest, and blood offerings made every day. By understanding why these things were so important to them, we can better understand why the author spends the rest of chapter 9 using language for Jesus that keeps calling back to these old covenant things.   Get my books from Amazon! 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://a.co/2N9hWtH 25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://a.co/0zoq8IH   Join my monthly supporters: www.Patreon.com/OnwardintheFaith One-time donations:  PayPal or Venmo   Saylorville Church & Gospel Centered Recovery   Scripture used: Hebrews 8:13, Hebrews 9   Outro music by LesFM from Pixabay

We all have family routines. When we're around the same people day after day, year after year, we get into a familiar groove of living and interacting with them. For too many of us, one of those common routines involves giving our families the worst side of us. We are patient, tolerant, and even enjoyable with friends, coworkers, and people at church, but behind closed doors we put our sin natures on full display.   This episode is a difficult one. None of us want to confront that reality, and many don't want to let go of the anger, criticism, and quarreling that's become a normal part of their family routine. But if we truly believe that God has given us our families on purpose, we want to honor them as our greatest opportunity to serve God through our earthly relationships. My prayer is that this episode will encourage and equip Christians to do give their families the best side of them.   Join my monthly supporters: www.Patreon.com/OnwardintheFaith One-time donations:  PayPal or Venmo   Anger Begins with Idolatry (article & podcast)   You can find this episode's original article here   Scripture used: Ephesians 4:31-32, Psalm 51:10, John 15:5, 11, Philippians 2:3, 2 Corinthians 12:9   Background music by MADiRFAN from Pixabay Outro music by LesFMfrom Pixabay

When we hear the call to salvation, it's easy for us to assume that's talking to other people; visitors, people struggling with sin, or those who have simply never heard the gospel before.

For some, prayer can be as difficult as it is important. We know we should do it more, but without a good understanding of what prayer is and why we do it, we're unlikely to see much success in doing it regularly.   This episode digs into what is commonly called "The Lord's Prayer," looking at the things Christ modeled and why He may have chosen those specific things. In the end, the goal of this episode is to help you better understand what you believe about God, prayer, and your purpose as a Christian in this world.
