Show Notes:Dr. Corneilus Plantinga has a few words to say about gratitude, and it may just change your life--physically, spiritually, and emotionally. A habit of gratitude can lower your blood pressure and help you sleep better. But the habit of gratitude also ties us together collectively, in community and in church. When there is genuine appreciation of an act of kindness or a loving word, the memory of that “thank you” is a cushion when disagreement tries to divide us. Gratitude for God's gifts reminds us daily that we can find something good, even in tough situations.A previous guest on The Weight, Dr. Plantinga is Senior Research Fellow at the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and president emeritus of Calvin Theological Seminary. He also served as Dean of the Chapel at Calvin University. He is the author of many books, including his latest, Gratitude.Resources:Find Dr. Plantinga's books on AmazonListen Dr. Plantinga's previous conversation on The Weight

What does the Bible say about worship, and the regulative principle of worship? When do we cross the Matthew 15 line, and witness the displacing of God's law by the traditions of men? Worship has turned more freeform of recent, but are we getting off base? We take a look at the regulative principle of worship and recommend getting to the spirit of the law, and better identifying when we are making the law of God of none effect by our traditions. We take up a few applications. What about Elvis Presley doing a solo performance in the worship? Or, what about cutting off the heads of chickens, puppet shows, and movie clips? What about reincorporating psalm singing in the worship?This program includes:1.

n this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony delve into Colossians 3:16–17, exploring the essential role of singing in Christian worship. They discuss how singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs is both a command and a spiritual discipline for believers, emphasizing its importance in teaching gospel truths and fostering mutual edification within the body of Christ. Singing is not merely an individual act of worship but a communal practice that unites the church in shared faith and gratitude. The hosts reflect on the transformative power of music in worship, emphasizing its role in shaping Christian character and relationships. They explore how singing serves as a means of mutual instruction, allowing believers to proclaim gospel truths to one another while glorifying God. Jesse and Tony also highlight the need for congregants, particularly men, to actively participate in worship through singing, modeling obedience and devotion for their families and fellow believers. Additionally, the conversation touches on how the act of singing transcends generational and cultural boundaries, bringing together believers of all ages and backgrounds. The hosts underscore the unique power of music to unite the church, deepen spiritual formation, and prepare hearts for eternal worship around the throne of God. Key Points: The Command to Sing Singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs is a biblical command for all believers, rooted in passages like Colossians 3:16–17 and Ephesians 5. This act of worship is not optional but central to the Christian life. Singing as Mutual Instruction Worship through singing serves as a means of teaching and admonishing one another in gospel truths. It is a communal act that fosters spiritual growth and unity among believers. The Role of Men in Worship Jesse and Tony discuss the importance of men leading by example in worship, particularly through singing, to encourage their families and the congregation to participate wholeheartedly. Music's Power to Unite and Transform Singing in worship transcends individual preferences and abilities, uniting believers of all ages and backgrounds in a shared expression of faith and gratitude to God. Practical Encouragement for Worship Participation The hosts encourage listeners to prioritize singing in both corporate worship and family settings, reminding them that even imperfect voices glorify God and edify the church. Questions for Reflection: How does your personal approach to singing in worship align with the biblical command to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs? In what ways can congregational singing foster unity and mutual edification in your church? How can you encourage those around you, especially within your family, to participate in worship through singing? What steps can you take to incorporate doctrinally sound music into your daily life and family worship?

In this episode of the All of Life podcast, Nate Claiborne and Michael Allen dive into the New Testament book of Hebrews, offering background context and exploring its significance within Christian scripture. They describe Hebrews as a unique combination of sermon and letter, mysterious in its origins, and rich with Old Testament references—especially around themes of sacrifice, holiness, and Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of those practices. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding Old Testament concepts to fully grasp Hebrews' arguments, as the author assumes the audience's familiarity with Jewish traditions and sacrificial systems.The hosts also explore the historical backdrop of the letter, suggesting it was likely written in the 60s AD during a period of persecution, possibly under Nero's reign. This pressure led some early Christians to consider returning to Jewish practices for safety, and Hebrews responds by affirming Jesus' superiority and the finality of His atoning sacrifice. They discuss the book's deep influence on Christian theology, worship, and liturgy—especially its focus on perseverance, Christ's role as the high priest, and the enduring importance of faith. For those wanting a deeper dive, they recommend John Calvin's accessible and insightful commentary on Hebrews and encourage listeners to engage with cross-references to fully appreciate the book's rich connection to the Old Testament.

In this episode, Spencer Smith, a pastor and filmmaker, delves into the intricate relationship between modern Christianity and ancient mysticism. He highlights how the 'Third Adam' documentary series exposes the alarming trends of occult practices infiltrating churches. Smith argues that many charismatic movements are essentially repackaged forms of paganism, leading believers away from foundational biblical teachings. Through his work, he seeks to inform Christians about these influences and encourage a return to sound doctrine. The discussion underscores the urgency for the church to reclaim its identity and resist the encroachment of deceptive spiritual practices.Takeaways:Spencer Smith's documentary series "Third Adam" exposes occult and New Age influences infiltrating modern Christian churches.The series began after Smith's mission work in Kenya revealed connections between charismatic movements and occult practices.Mystery religions and paganism use spiritual energy to manipulate physical reality, now appearing in some Christian worship.The Catholic Church has incorporated elements of ancient pagan worship, including symbolism from Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz.Celebrity Christianity often lacks theological depth and can lead believers away from biblical truth toward New Age concepts.Modern charismatic practices like "decree and declare" mirror occult manifestation techniques but with Christian terminology.CONNECT WITH SPENCERTwitterYouTubeThird Adam Documentaries
