The early Pietists were influenced by Gnostic dualistic ideas of the ancient Greeks. All Greek thought was essentially dualistic, but Gnosticism was radically Platonic and became a thorn in the side of the church in its early centuries. Its influence continued in one way or another in Western thought through the Middle Ages eventually affecting the worldview of those who became Pietists.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: In celebration of International Women’s Day, a time to honor the achievements and contributions of women across the globe, this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective shines a light on some of the most inspiring women in the Bible. From Leah’s resilience in the face of rejection to Deborah’s fearless leadership, these women modeled faith and hope that transcend time and culture. As we explore their lives, we are reminded that the greatest advocate for equality and empowerment is Jesus, whose grace offers freedom to live courageously and faithfully. Join me with Rev. Jessica Van Roekel as we reflect on these timeless examples of strength and hope, and learn how they inspire us to live with faith and purpose today. Quotables from the episode: The greatest proponent of equality is Jesus, and we can only know the kind of freedom he brings when we receive his saving grace and live for him. He broke barriers between humanity and God, people groups, and genders. It’s when we live apart from him that we experience disparity. We're all equivalent at the foot of the cross and we can really only know the kind of freedom he brings when we receive his saving grace and live for him. You know Jesus broke barriers between humanity and God between people groups and genders and it's when we live apart from him that we really experience disparity. We can trace that through the old and new Testament. In fact, some influential and powerful women throughout the Bible are, you mentioned her Leah, she stayed strong through heartache and rejection. We had Jacobad, the mother of Moses, Abra led Israelites as a judge and prophetess for 40 years. Esther had the courage to say yes to God and in doing so she saved her people. Mary the mother of Jesus shows us how to have the courage to surrender completely. Then we have Ruth and Mary Bethany. These women were in a very male dominated society but God elevated them to positions of leadership. Sarah became my example of faith in the face of fear. She messed up and I messed up. And I think that's what I love so much about her is because she messed up royally. I mean, she created a whole mess with Ishmael and Isaac. She couldn't wait for God to fulfill his promise to her. And yet he did eventually, but she made this big mess. And yet she's still touted as a woman of faith in the Hall of, you know, Hebrews 11, the Hall of Fame chapter. She is our example of not to give into fear. And I think it's because of her faith, even in the midst of making so many mistakes. I would have to say that one of the women in the Bible who has inspired me the most was the woman at the well. You know, she lived a rejected life. She lived her life apart from other people. She had plenty of sins where she had messed up and yet I love that scripture says that Jesus had to go that way. He had to encounter her. And when he talked about her sin, it wasn't in a demeaning way, but it was to let her know, "Oh, I know so much more, and yet I'm still here with you. I'm still going against societal norms to have a conversation with you." And he revealed himself to her as Messiah and gave her hope to the point that she left and went and told people that she had met the Messiah. And so that's such a good example for me because I don't know about you, but when I've messed up, sometimes I don't even wanna go to God and tell Him, but He already knows. He already knows and it's a safe place. Jesus validated her when he said, "Go in peace. Your faith has made you well." In that, he gave her back her identity. He esteemed her. He loved her. And we don't even know her name, Jessica, but her story encourages us today and it encourages me to keep pursuing after Jesus when I've tried everything else. Jesus is the one place I need to go. Oh, yes. She is a wonderful example of we can feel so set aside. Unseen. Unseen. Rejected. And yet God elevated her. He saw her. He called her to go go into the fact that she believed that Jesus was her only hope and she pushed against the crowd. Leadership doesn't always mean, it doesn't always mean leading your family. It doesn't always mean leading in business. I think leadership, if we expand on that concept, means using our gifts to influence. And our gifts might be the gift of hospitality. It might be the gift of mercy. It might be the gift of compassion or encouragement, but when we use our God -given gifts to influence others, that is assuming a leadership role. Since Old Testament times, the idea of setting boundaries between men and women has been challenged. God has always placed women in leadership positions. Influential and powerful women exist throughout the Bible. Some inspiring women of the Bible include: Leah—strong through heartache and rejection Jochebed—mother of Moses Deborah—prophetess and judge of Israel (40Years) who inspired complete obedience to God Esther—courage to be bold, say yes to God and save her people Mary—trust and courage to surrender completely Miriam—our words matter Rahab—knowing God protects us Ruth—selflessness and seeking God leads to our betterment Priscilla—help each other mature in our faith Mary Magdalene—the power of a submitted heart Rachel—the power of patience to wait on God Hannah—God prizes faithfulness Abigail—equipped for wisdom Martha—God equips us to use our practical gifts Hagar—God gives us strength to move forward Anna—keep watch for God’s works Lydia—grow in love for God for others Rebekah—know that God’s plans are always good Many of the inspiring women of the Bible encourage us to know our strengths, use our influence as an invitation to know God, lead by example and lead with love. Our hardships don’t preempt us from living a life of faith and hope. They propel us toward faith and hope when we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. One of the key commonalities between all of these women is that they did face hardships. So my hope filled perspective is this, that hardships don't preempt us from living a life of faith and hope. They actually propel us toward faith and hope when we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. That's so important because I think in our culture, we look at hardships and Lord. We're doing everything that we can that's right. Jesus told us we would experience hardships. - He did. Read though for the accounts of the women in scripture and how they modeled getting through those hardships and the lessons that they teach us. And there have been so many as we listed off some of the other women that we didn't have time to really talk about in depth today. We would encourage you pick one or two of those women's accounts and go study them for yourself.

Can the Bible be trusted when it describes the natural world? Some claim it reflects primitive cosmology, portraying a solid dome sky with stars embedded within it and waters above. If true, this would challenge the Bible’s reliability. But what do the Bible’s own words reveal? Explore how terms like “firmament” and descriptions of heavenly waters are understood in their original context. Is the Bible mistaken about science, or does it use poetic and observational language common in human expression? Keaton Halley delves into these questions, addressing claims about solid skies, heavenly oceans, and the movement of stars. By examining ancient Near Eastern texts and biblical language, Halley demonstrates why Scripture’s authority remains intact. He highlights the significance of interpreting the Bible within its context and trusting its claims about both the natural and spiritual realms.
In this episode, I respond to a one-star review criticizing my interpretation of the parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20). The review accuses me of neglecting proper biblical scholarship and pushing an economic agenda. But is that a fair critique?Join me as I break down the review, address the concerns raised, and explore the principles of biblical exegesis. We'll examine different interpretive lenses—moralistic, theological, redemptive, and fulfillment perspectives—while uncovering the parable's core message about God's kingdom. Along the way, we'll also consider its secondary implications for property rights and labor value. This episode isn't just a response to criticism—it's a deep dive into how Scripture, economics, and anarchist thought intersect.Full Episode Show Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Boyce explores the biblical foundations for Church councils and their role in Church history. Drawing from key passages such as the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, Paul's exhortation to unity in 1 Corinthians, and the Church's role as the “pillar and foundation of truth” (1 Timothy 3:15), Dr. Boyce explains how Scripture provides a framework for collective decision-making and theological discernment.

Scripture in Black and White: https://scriptureinblackandwhite.podbean.com/ Step Into Scripture: https://stepintoscripture.podbean.com/ Today's episode will help us understand how to navigate complex political and ethical issues by grounding our decisions in biblical principles, focusing on the character of Christ, God's commands, and the consideration of consequences. In this episode, John and Daniel go into a framework for Christians to navigate political, cultural, and ethical issues. They emphasize the importance of basing decisions on the character and commands of God, rather than purely consequentialist thinking. Key topics include the sanctity of life, the abortion debate, and the process of aligning political stances with a biblical worldview. Through their discussion, they offer Christians practical tools and insights for making morally grounded decisions in a politically divided world.

They aim to help Christians ground their decisions in biblical principles, focusing on character, commands, and consequences. The episode begins with a friendly exchange between John and Daniel, who reflect on their ongoing discussions about politics and faith, highlighted in their book on following Jesus in a divided world. Their goal is to understand how to honor Jesus over nationalistic values. John introduces the main topic: developing a framework for addressing complex political and ethical issues. He stresses the importance of understanding the guiding principles behind decisions of right and wrong. Daniel notes that many people rely on gut feelings, which can align with biblical moral sense, but acknowledges that humans often struggle to consistently follow moral laws. They discuss consequentialism, an ethical theory where the moral worth of an action is judged by its outcomes. Daniel explains various ethical theories—virtue ethics, Kantian deontological ethics, and consequentialism. He points out that many people are consequentialists, making decisions based on perceived benefits. However, he warns that while consequences matter, they should be grounded in fundamental principles like God's character and commands. John and Daniel explore how these ethical theories impact political decisions, noting that debates often revolve around consequentialist arguments. While the Bible acknowledges the importance of consequences, it emphasizes that moral decisions should be rooted in God's commands and character. Daniel uses utilitarianism to illustrate the dangers of basing moral decisions solely on outcomes. The discussion shifts to how Christians should navigate ethical issues by prioritizing Christ's character and God's commands. Daniel outlines a three-part approach: starting with the character of Christ, following God's commandments, and considering the consequences. He emphasizes that Christians should base their ethical decisions on Jesus' virtues and biblical values, avoiding arbitrary or outcome-based reasoning. John adds that reflecting God's character and obeying His commands align with our nature as beings made in God's image, fulfilling our purpose. He notes that holiness and human nature complement each other. They then apply this framework to the issue of abortion and the sanctity of human life. They start by examining God's character, emphasizing His value of human life and children. They contrast this with the dehumanizing actions associated with evil, such as murder and lying. The conversation highlights the biblical commandment "do not murder" as a clear directive against taking innocent life. Daniel addresses debates around personhood and fetal status, arguing that the Bible's emphasis on the sanctity of human life should shape the Christian stance on abortion. He warns against redefining life to justify abortion. Daniel critiques ethicist Michael Tooley's argument, which separates human life from personhood to reduce stigma around abortion and infanticide. He points out the dangers of arbitrary criteria for personhood, which can lead to broader justifications for dehumanization. John references Peter Kreeft's book "The Unaborted Socrates," which argues against abortion by affirming the personhood of preborn babies. While Daniel agrees, he cautions against relying solely on personhood arguments and stresses the need to focus on biblical teachings about the sanctity of human life. The episode wraps up with practical advice for applying the framework to ethical issues. Daniel suggests that Christians form ethical statements based on God's character and commands while considering consequences. For example, statements might affirm the value of human life, obedience to the command not to murder, and support for pro-life laws, while showing compassion for those affected by abortion. John underscores the importance of clear ethical statements for guiding Christians in their decisions, emphasizing that this framework, as detailed in their book, helps Christians navigate political and cultural issues biblically.

Send us a Text Message.Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar help listeners understand healing through the context of scripture. The Lord provides healing through natural means, illustrated by a story where a man's voice was miraculously restored while he was reading a passage from Psalms, despite having a permanent condition. This contrasts sharply with the disillusionment caused by fake healings, where charlatans exploit people's hopes. Such practices lead some to deny the possibility of healing altogether. However, healing is a central theme in the New Testament.The guys talk about maintaining an expectation that God can heal, whether in this life or in the next. Jesus' healings were not just acts of compassion but also demonstrations of the coming Kingdom of God, much like parables that reveal deeper truths to those who seek understanding. We must trust in the Lord and have faith, recognizing that while health is a blessing, sickness can often draw us closer to God. God's grace is sufficient for us, and He may choose to heal or He may not. A lack of healing does not necessarily indicate insufficient faith. There are numerous examples in Scripture where Jesus heals despite a person's doubt or weak faith. God allows His servants to endure suffering for their sanctification. For instance, Stephen was stoned to death according to God's will. Sickness can serve God's glory or act as discipline, but it is incorrect to view all illness as punishment.Some individuals avoid modern medicine, believing they must rely solely on God for healing. However, modern medicine is an act of God's mercy, saving countless lives from common ailments. Medicine is part of God's common grace, benefiting both believers and unbelievers alike.Miracles performed by Jesus demonstrate His power over our fears and affirm His role as the promised snake crusher, destined to reverse the curse of sin. Jesus experienced the full wrath of God on the cross, allowing us to look forward to eternity without suffering. God has addressed our suffering through Christ, and ultimate healing is assured in the life to come.In conclusion, while we trust in God for healing and acknowledge that He can work through both miraculous and natural means, we must also understand that suffering and illness can have a purpose in God's greater plan. The ultimate healing and restoration are promised in eternity where all suffering will cease and we will experience the fullness of God's glory. Until then, we rely on God's grace, which is sufficient for every circumstance, and we trust in His wisdom and timing for our healing. Thanks for listening!

Does Flat Earth theory have any basis? Is this an example of the Bible and science contradicting? Does the Bible ever explicitly state what shape the Earth is?In today's episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener question regarding flat earth theory. We look at the history of beliefs on the shape of the Earth as well as some observational evidence presented out there. We then dig through the Scriptures to see what God says about His earth and whether or not this is a situation where the Bible and science contradict.
