Gospel Rooted Living: Week Ten - There's Only One Way to Finish

I've heard it said that how you finish your Christian walk is just as important as how you started it. Everyone who places their faith in Jesus and His finished work on the cross begins on the narrow path, but not everyone succeeds. It is too common for individuals to fall off the highway of holiness. In the end, they cannot resist the lure of this life. Little by little the devil leads them away from their first love. Instead of placing God at the center of their lives, they place the idols of this world on the throne. These individuals seek to quiet their restless souls and indulge in distractions that occupy their time and attention. This week's episode, on the Biblical Insight with Pastor Joseph podcast, explores the curves of the Christian walk that often trip up servants of Christ and transform them into servants of the devil. Diluting the Gospel with works is an age-old tale that is still being woven into today's fabric. Refusing to accept the finished work on the cross as sufficient for Salvation wayward souls plunder into the wilderness of sin. This story is not much different from the children of Israel. With selfish preservation and pride, they diluted the law of God after being rescued from Egyptian bondage. The generation that left Egypt gradually drifted away from their first love. Heaven cannot be earned through works. Your best effort is filthy before God. The blood of Jesus is the only thing that can guarantee your eternal security. If you try to work your way to God, you will end up empty-handed and wandering in the desert. Except for Caleb and Joshua, all the children of Israel who left Egypt never reached Canaan. Their works left them empty handed wondering in the wilderness for forty years. Yet, we gloss over this account. It's as if we turn a blind eye to warnings placed in the Bible for our instruction and correction. As a result of this reaction toward God's revealed will, we run the risk of repeating the mistakes of previous generations. Finishing the Christian walk is the most important part of life. Nothing can compare to this accomplishment. Living with God for all eternity is the goal of everyone who sets out on the narrow road, but only a few achieve it. The outcome of your Christian walk will be determined by your engagement with the Bible. You can't navigate your way to Heaven without a roadmap to Heaven. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/biblical-insight/message

An initial four-day cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas took effect this morning in Gaza. At this writing, there have been no reports of fighting for several hours, and sixty trucks carrying aid have entered Gaza from Egypt. With the looming threat of WWIII and other global fears you may be facing, it can be difficult to “give thanks in all circumstances,” as the Bible says. But for Thanksgiving to be a daily lifestyle rather than an annual holiday, we have to learn to give thanks every day, including our hardest days.

Is the war in Israel a sign of the end times?

Jesus said, “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars.” So when terrorists strike, missiles are fired, and ground wars begin in the Middle East, it's easy to question whether the end times are coming. To add to our anxiety, the words surrounding how Christians discuss the end times are daunting: Eschatology. Premillennialism. Postmillennialism. Dispensationalism. Replacement theology. What do they mean? Do they all have the same importance? Should we care about them today? In this episode of The Denison Forum Podcast, Dr. Jim Denison and his son Dr. Ryan Denison join Dr. Mark Turman for an insightful discussion on end-times thinking as it relates to the ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza. In the end—whenever the end truly may come—let's remember how Jesus completed his statement on the rumors of wars: “See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place” (Matthew 24:6). Topics (01:24): One month into the war, what's going on in Israel? (06:24): What is eschatology? And why does it matter in the Middle East right now? (09:10): Why do many American Christians hold to a dispensational view of the end times? (16:07): Is having a right eschatology a primary doctrine of Christianity? (22:55): Is Israel our key indictor of the end times coming? (26:24): Are Israelites still God's people? (31:03): Are Christians too focused on predicting the end times?

Biblical Insight for Romancing A Wife

Mission Focused Men for Christ

Episode Summary. How does a husband romance his wife the way God designed her to be romanced? Scripture provides powerful answers. Today's episode looks at a wife's need for romance. Now, it's just a guess, but I suspect you find trying to meet this need very pleasurable. But be warned. No husband and wife walk down their wedding aisle expecting their romance to fall apart, but 50% of Christian marriages fail, bringing enormous emotional devastation to spouses and children. These broken-hearted victims will tell you, “Romance isn't easy. It is not a sprint. It is a 26K marathon.”For Further Prayerful Thought: If a husband's sex drive is stronger than his wife's what do you see as the challenges of helping her accept his masculine sexual hardwiring as God-created?Why does it make sense to advise husbands, “First work on meeting your wife's need for emotional intimacy and learning to romance her well. Then try to help her see the biblical explanation of how to handle your differences in sexual desire?Which romancing insights most stood out to you?

Mario Lopez criticized for transgender remarks: A Christian response to cultural backlash

THE DAILY ARTICLE FOR AUGUST 2, 2019 Mario Lopez first became famous for his role as A.C. Slater on the show Saved by the Bell. He has since carved out a solid career as the co-host of Access Hollywood and is a go-to for many people on understanding Hollywood trends as a result. However, after comments he made in June on The Candace Owens Show resurfaced, Lopez has been in the news for a very different reason. While on the show, Owens brought up the trend among many celebrities to allow their children to pick their own gender. Lopez replied, "I just think it's dangerous as a parent to make that determination then." The LGBTQ+ backlash was vocal and swift. Given that the Bible speaks far more definitively than Lopez regarding the fallacies inherent to much of the transgender movement, those of us who choose to believe the word of Scripture on this subject should not be surprised when we face opposition. So how should we respond when there appears to be so little room for genuine dialogue? OUR LATEST BOOK How should a Christian vote? Does the Bible allow us to drink alcohol? Should a Christian take medication for depression and anxiety? How would you answer these questions for yourself? What if someone else asked them of you?

In this episode of The Denison Forum Podcast, Dr. Jim Denison, Dr. Ryan Denison, and Dr. Mark Turman discuss the relevance of remembrance, both for events like the Shoah and in our own lives.Perspectives on remembrance The conversation begins with International Holocaust Remembrance Day, an essential day marking the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. This largest concentration camp witnessed the merciless killing of over a million victims during the Holocaust, serving as a stark reminder of humanity's potential for brutality. While many call this horrific occurrence a "Holocaust," our Jewish friends often refer to it as the "Shoah," a Hebrew word meaning catastrophe. This preference arises from the fact that "holocaust" refers to a willing sacrificial offering; its victims were not willing. Link between the past and the present Witnessing history, we're reminded that anything that has transpired can still happen, and any atrocity we've committed, we can still commit. This understanding propels us to be more mindful of our actions and strive not to repeat the mistakes of the past. Guilt, shame, and the power of remembrance The discussion led to an exploration of the collective sense of guilt and shame that accompanies remembrance. Often, nations implement memorials and monuments to serve as a silent apology and continuous expression of regret and repentance. These become tangible reminders of the past, ensuring we don't forget, and more importantly, don't repeat past atrocities. But what role does guilt and shame play in this context? Guilt can often bind us to our past, trapping us in a cycle of sin and confession. However, collective guilt or shame can be valuable, acting as a vital reminder of our collective past mistakes and urging us to learn and evolve. Personalizing the act of remembrance Understanding history goes beyond reciting dates or facts—it's about learning from the past, commemorating our growth, and understanding our potential for both good and evil. Applying this concept to our personal lives becomes more nuanced. Guilt or shame regarding personal sins only serve to repress and bind us. However, the Holy Spirit has a precise objective—to convict us of our specific sins, not generically. The purpose here isn't to condemn but to identify malignancies so they can be treated and removed. While it is necessary to remember our past sins—to learn from them—it is also crucial to understand that God forgives, forgets, and bears no resentment. Even in collective forms, our guilt and shame should be a channel for redemption and positive change, not a means of torment. Conclusion Reflecting on our past—both individual and collective—is a necessary and pivotal aspect of growth. Days of remembrance like the International Holocaust Remembrance Day serve as bridges between the past and the present, reminding us of humanity's capacity for brutality. By appropriately remembering and honoring these events, we can ensure that history doesn't repeat itself and strive for a better collective future. Ultimately, it's crucial to remember that anything God has done he can still do today. Thus, we should always aim to be faithful to the teachings of God and remain enthusiastically open to the new lessons the Lord bestows upon us each day.

Cultural apologist Dr. Jim Denison answers a few challenging questions about the Bible from our audience, many of which seemed to ask the same question: Is God just? For example, can people in hell be saved? Did Jesus go to hell after his crucifixion and before his resurrection? If “God is love,” as 1 John 4:16 says, is hell necessary?And what about the millions of people who lived before Jesus came to earth? Are any of them saved? What about people living today who may never hear the gospel? And did God condone genocide in the Old Testament?Dr. Denison also speaks to the postmodern belief underlying the popular statement that “God made me this way” as it relates to same-sex attraction, alcoholism, and other temptations.Topics(00:51): Did Jesus go to hell after his crucifixion?(08:10): Can salvation happen after death?(13:05): Why is hell necessary?(18:21): If salvation is only through Jesus, what about the people who lived before Jesus?(22:24): If people today never hear the gospel, will they go to hell?(31:15): The danger of saying “God made me this way”(41:17): Is God guilty of genocide in the Old Testament?ResourcesDid Jesus go to hell?Why Jesus?Why did God tell the Jews to kill the Canaanites?Why is the God of the Old Testament so vengeful?Wrestling with God by Dr. Jim DenisonThe Problem of Pain by C.
