Podcasts about Assurance

Strong states are surprisingly bad at coercion. History shows they prevail only a third of the time. Dr. Pauly argues that coercion often fails because targets fear punishment even if they comply. In this "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario, targets have little reason to obey. The Art of Coercion: Credible Threats and the Assurance Dilemma (Cornell UP, 2025) by Dr. Reid B. C. Pauly presents a fresh explanation for the success—and failure—of coercive demands in international politics. Dr. Pauly illustrates this logic in nuclear counterproliferation efforts with South Africa, Iraq, Libya, and Iran. He shows that coercers face an "assurance dilemma": When threats are more credible, assurances not to punish are less so. But without credible assurances, targets may defy threats, bracing for seemingly inevitable punishment. For coercion to work, as such, coercers must not only make targets believe that they will be punished if they do not comply, but also that they will not be if they do. Packed with insights for any foreign policy challenge involving coercive strategies, The Art of Coercion crucially corrects assumptions that tougher threats alone achieve results. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Sermon Outline: Jude 1:1-2 (The Marks of A True Christian) The CalledIntroductionNew series: walking through the book of Jude (one chapter, but deeply relevant).Warnings: false teachers infiltrating churches with watered-down doctrine.Today's focus: Jude 1:1 — identity, calling, and assurance in Christ.1. Jude's Identity (v.1a)“Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James…”Servant/Bondservant of ChristTerm also used by Paul and James.Means total surrender — either a slave to Christ or a slave to self.Slave to self = never satisfied; slave to Christ = true fulfillment.Brother of JamesJude establishes credibility—linked to James, half-brother of Jesus.Authority matters in warnings against false teachers.Application: Where is your identity rooted? In self or in Christ?2. The Audience (v.1b)“To those who are called…”The Called of GodGod has always called His people (Isaiah 43:1–2).Christians are chosen, redeemed, and set apart to glorify God.Encouragement of SalvationHebrews 7:25 — Jesus lives to intercede for us.Eternal Advocate = eternal security.Application: If you are in Christ, you are called, known, and held by God.3. The Assurance (v.1c)“…beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.”Loved by God the FatherHis love is the foundation of our calling.Kept for Jesus ChristBelievers are safe and secure in Him.Eternal security isn't man's idea—it's God's promise.Warning: This only applies to true believers.Shallow prayers, church attendance, or “asking Jesus into your heart” ≠ true conversion.True salvation = repentance, faith, and surrender to Christ alone.Application: Don't play church—get serious about eternity.4. The Mission of the Church (Colossians 1:28)Proclaim Christ — the center of all preaching.Warn everyone — judgment for sin is real.Teach maturity — help believers grow into Christlikeness.Application:Assurance flows from maturity.Childlike faith ≠ childish faith.Open your Bible. Read. Obey. Grow.5. The Danger of Neglecting the WordMany avoid Scripture because it confronts sin.Comfortable flesh resists God's truth.True peace and assurance come only by:Making war on sin.Trusting Christ's finished work on the cross.Walking daily in obedience to His Word.ConclusionJude begins with encouragement: called, loved, and kept in Christ.But this only belongs to true believers.Eternity is real—don't play games with your soul.Main Call: Open your Bible. Trust Christ. Live as one who is called, loved, and kept.

In this multipart series, Lee Eric Fesko answers the What? and Why? of what we believe as Christians. This lecture is from August 17, 2025 at Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon NotesPT story: Overusing wrong muscles, learning what the right ones feel like.Spiritual parallel: Faith is our central muscle group.Often atrophied → we rely on self-reliance, control → strain.Goal: Learn what faith “feels like” and strengthen it.Faith grows in response to grace (10:19–22)Sequence: Grace → Faith.Grace = God's free kindness in Christ; Faith = saying “yes” to it.Ongoing: Grace sustains faith for life.When faith feels weak: Seek grace, not just “more faith.”Means of grace: Scripture, fellowship, worship, Communion, prayer.Faith sees that which is unseen (11:1)Assurance of future promises; conviction of present spiritual realities.Not irrational—like belief in love.Faith = “organ to see the invisible order” (F.F. Bruce).Example – Moses(11:26–27)A. In TemptationTurned from Egypt's visible wealth by looking to unseen reward in Christ.Application: Resist visible false promises (wealth, status, sex, control) by seeing greater unseen reward.B. In SufferingEndured Pharaoh's wrath by “seeing Him who is invisible.”Application: Fix eyes on unseen love, power, promises of God.Faith in suffering = visible witness to invisible grace.Discussion Questions:How would you define grace? What about faith?In Eph 2:8, Paul says we are saved by grace through faith. What does he mean? How are grace and faith linked?Give examples of something real that you can't see.Temptation and suffering are often the context in which faith is used and strengthened.  How so?In what way is someone's faith amid personal suffering a benefit to the whole community? Can you give examples of where you have seen this?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon? Email Randy Forrester ().

My deep prayer for your life is that you will know Jesus Christ more truly so that you can distinguish what matters in life from what trivializes, or distracts, or leads astray. I want your love to abound for each other to deepen through knowledge, the kind of knowledge that lets you discern trash from treasure, false narratives from the true story, loving focus from selfish or prideful pursuits.

This GraceNotes episode begins a series of messages on the assurance of salvation. This is such an important subject because so many people struggle with doubts about their salvation. In this episode, from GraceNotes no. 73, we will see that Free Grace theology is the only theological perspective that can give a believer full assurance of salvation. Three alternate views are explained. First, Reformed Calvinism believes that the elect can be sure of their salvation, but the problem is, no one can be sure they are one of the elect until they die having persevered in their faith and obedience to the end of their life. Another theology, Arminianism, holds that a Christian can be sure of salvation if they are living obediently. However, they cannot be sure of future salvation because thatw obedience is not guaranteed. A third perspective can come from both theologies. It is Lordship Salvation, which teaches that we are saved by committing ourselves to Jesus as our Master, which is proven by our genuine faith, turning from sins, and our full commitment. However, since it is impossible to gauge these things, full assurance becomes unattainable. Free Grace is the only view that gives full assurance of salvation because it depends on God's work and performance, not the believer's. This view is the most biblical and allows for peace and confidence in the Christian's life.#AssuranceofSalvation#FreeGraceTheology#LordshipSalvation#SimplybyGrace

Romans 5:5 — Once saved, always saved. But what happens when one doubts their salvation and how do they regain assurance? The greatest assurance of all is that the love of God has been spread into the hearts of His people. This act is done by the work of the Holy Spirit. In the sermon “The Holy Spirit and Assurance” from Romans 5:5, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones points out that this is the first time the Holy Spirit is referenced in terms of salvation and he makes a few points concerning what this means. The Holy Spirit is given to all Christians without exception and He dwells in their bodies. Some might ask how this is a guarantee of salvation. Dr. Lloyd-Jones reminds that any good work that Christ has begun will not go unfinished. The seal of the Holy Spirit is a guarantee that Christians are finally fit to enter the glory He has prepared for them. The second part of the sermon explains how someone would know that the Holy Spirit has been given to them. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/603/29

Endurance in the Christian LifeHebrews 10:19-39Rev. Mark Ashbaugh11am Service

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour ! La République de Weimar, c'est peut-être un nom qui vous évoque quelque chose : c'est le régime politique en place en Allemagne entre la chute de l'Empire allemand à la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale jusqu'à l'arrivée des nazis au pouvoir en 1933. Mais au-delà de ça, en vrai, on n'en sait pas forcément grand chose ! Elle est parfois perçue comme une révolution culturelle, ou alors carrément comme une catastrophe politique, alors qu'en vrai… c'est un peu plus complexe ! Alors pour y voir plus clair, j'ai invité un spécialiste de la question, Nicolas Patin, pour un nouvel entretien historique… que vous pourrez écouter d'ici quelques jours sur le podcast ! Mais en attendant, je vous propose d'écouter Nicolas nous parler de l'assurance chômage allemande, qui existait sous Weimar, et même avant ! Bonne écoute !

In this time of worship and reflection, we were reminded that God looks at the heart, not outward appearances. We considered how our perspective on prophecy and eternal judgment impacts the way we live right now. We reflected on the assurance of our identity in Christ, even when we feel unworthy, and we found encouragement to draw near to God in the face of rejection and pain. Through it all, we were led to fix our eyes on God's love, seek intimacy with Him, and live from a place of surrender and confidence in His view of us.

China Plus One: Strategies for Global Supply Chains with Jeff GoldsteinWelcome to another episode of the Asia Business Podcast. Today, we are joined by Co-Host Chris DeAngelis are privileged to welcome Jeff Goldstein, a friend of the show and an expert in supply chain management, sourcing, and contracting in Asia. As the founder and president of Onward Global, Jeff offers invaluable insights into the intricate dynamics of Asian supply chains.Introducing Jeff GoldsteinVisit Onward GlobalJeff Goldstein is a seasoned professional with 15 years of experience in China, overseeing supply chains and founding Onward Global—a consulting and contracting partner specializing in sourcing and supply chain management across Asia. His experience spans multiple countries, including Cambodia, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Indonesia, which provides him with a unique perspective on the evolving landscape of global supply chains.The Impact of COVID-19 and TariffsIn today's episode, Jeff delves into the challenges posed by recent global events, such as COVID-19 lockdowns and increasing tariffs, which have magnified the importance of effective supply chain management. These disruptions have underscored the need for businesses to diversify their supply chains to mitigate risks associated with over-dependence on China.Exploring the China Plus One StrategyJeff highlights the significance of the "China Plus One" strategy, where businesses look to expand their manufacturing and supply chains beyond China to other countries. This approach not only helps in risk management but also in leveraging the varied advantages offered by different regions in Asia. However, Jeff warns that this strategy requires substantial time, resources, and a strong alignment within the company to be successful.Country-Specific Opportunities and ChallengesDrawing from his extensive travel and work across Asia, Jeff shares insights into the specific opportunities and challenges faced by businesses in different countries. For instance, while India presents exciting opportunities due to its raw materials and English-speaking workforce, it also poses challenges related to regulatory barriers and a long-standing focus on the domestic market.The Role of Chinese Factories in Southeast AsiaIn an interesting turn, Jeff uncovers the industrious nature of Chinese businesses that have succeeded in establishing operations in Southeast Asia. These businesses demonstrate remarkable agility and a capacity to set up fully operational factories in countries like Indonesia within just one year, highlighting the dynamic nature of the Asian manufacturing landscape.Overcoming Quality Control ChallengesJeff emphasizes the importance of quality assurance and its critical role in ensuring the success of supply chain operations. He explains how recent economic pressures have increased the risk of corner-cutting in Chinese factories, which reinforces the need for stringent quality control measures and robust contract management.Building a Resilient Supply ChainFor businesses looking to optimize their supply chains, Jeff advises adopting a holistic approach that encompasses risk management, quality assurance, and strategic diversification. He advocates for businesses to be proactive, invest in building local teams, and develop strong relationships with suppliers to ensure sustainable growth.Final Thoughts and Contact InformationFor businesses striving to navigate the complex world of Asian supply chains, Jeff Goldstein stands out as a knowledgeable guide.

Assurance of Salvation Part 5 Hebrews 3

Dr. JB Hixson Stand Up welcomes back JB Hixson to talk about faith and the free exercise thereof. What begins as that which saves us opens a door to a brand new life as a new creation. As we begin this life, what is important? Faith comes by hearing so that systematic study of the Scriptures must undergird all we do as our hearts and minds are transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit, the same power that rose our Saviour from the grave. Walking by faith then is the workout of our lives! What does that look like? Of course, God has a different path for each of us and no one can walk that walk for us. But God's word applies to ALL of us! What a glorious operating manual for all things pertaining to life and godliness. All means all here, we can assume that. So as we move forward, what are some of the things that might challenge our faith, make it like gold tried in the furnace? When things don't make sense, when our prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling, when people hurt us or betray us or when tragedy strikes, what is our response? Does the response change from year to year as we move forward in Christ? Growing beyond our circumstances prepares us for eternity. Life is hard and full of challenges but faith, along with hope and love, remain. An encouraging hour with Pastor JB.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

This final chapter brings a clear and serious call from St. Paul: take a hard look at your faith. Not to stir up fear or doubt, but to encourage repentance and renewal. The warnings are real, but they come from an apostolic and pastoral heart that cares deeply and wants to build up, not tear down. Thus, Paul's letter ends not with rebuke, but with blessing—offering one of the most beautiful benedictions in all of Scripture: the grace of Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.  The Rev. Steven Theiss, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Wells, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 2 Corinthians 13.  What does it mean to follow Christ in weakness? What does true ministry look like in the face of criticism, suffering, and spiritual warfare? And how can the Church hold fast to the Gospel when pressured by the world—and even by false teachers within? On Thy Strong Word, we walk verse by verse through, arguably, the apostle Paul's most personal, emotional, and paradoxical letter: 2 Corinthians. From forgiveness and reconciliation to generous giving and boasting only in the Lord, 2 Corinthians calls every believer to follow Christ boldly. This is the way of the cross, where God's grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in you. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
