Podcasts about Contention

Paul Axton preaches: There are competing images of God in the Bible between a God of law and vengeance and the God of mercy and love. This contention is resolved in Christ in which true deity is found in the face of the forgiving human victim, and this highlights a theme traceable throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.

Send us a textThe battle between flesh and spirit stands at the heart of authentic Christian experience. Drawing from Galatians 5:19-21, this episode explores Paul's sobering warning about "the works of the flesh" and his declaration that those who practice such things "shall not inherit the kingdom of God."What distinguishes this teaching is its focus on the social sins that destroy Christian unity: "hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies." Unlike sensual or religious sins, these behaviors directly attack the bonds between believers, fracturing the body of Christ from within. Their destructive power makes them particularly dangerous to both individual spiritual health and corporate church witness.Through candid panel discussion, we explore the crucial difference between those who struggle against sin and those who practice it as a lifestyle. True believers experience an internal "war" against these fleshly tendencies – feeling genuine grief when they fall short and seeking restoration through repentance. False believers, by contrast, rationalize their behavior with phrases like "that's just who I am" or "the Lord knows my heart," revealing hearts untransformed by grace.This distinction cuts to the core of spiritual authenticity. As one participant notes, "If a Christian is not at war internally, that is a dangerous place to be." The absence of this struggle suggests either complete victory (extraordinarily rare) or, more likely, self-deception about one's spiritual condition.The message ultimately offers hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. While all believers experience temptation and occasional failure, God provides the conviction, guidance and strength needed to overcome the flesh. The very struggle itself, painful though it may be, serves as evidence of genuine spiritual life. What's your experience in this battle? Does your response to sin reveal a heart transformed by grace?The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter. Laughs included.

Send us a textWhat distinguishes true believers from those merely professing faith? This powerful conversation dives deep into the struggle against sin that characterizes authentic Christian life.When someone genuinely walks with Christ, they recognize even the smallest transgressions as serious – feeling immediate conviction when they stumble. This stands in stark contrast to those who abuse God's grace with a casual "I'll be forgiven anyway" attitude without true repentance. As one participant powerfully noted, "God doesn't have to forgive you."The discussion explores hatred as perhaps the most dangerous sin for Christians – not just momentary anger, but a settled position where someone embraces animosity as justified. This leaves no room for forgiveness or reconciliation, completely opposing Christ's command to love. Yet remarkably, testimonies reveal how the Holy Spirit won't allow true believers to remain comfortable in hatred, working to transform hearts even in the most difficult circumstances.We witness an unprecedented manifestation of these works of the flesh in today's cultural climate, even among professing Christians. Political divisions, cultural battles, and personal grudges have created environments where believers display hatred rather than love. The speakers lament how these divisions affect everything from family gatherings to church fellowship.An important distinction emerges: Christians must hate what God hates (sin) while still extending love to sinners – just as Christ does with us. This principle guides believers to stand firmly against sin while still showing grace. Most encouraging is the reminder that Christ has already forgiven us for sins we haven't even committed yet – a stunning reality that should prevent self-righteousness as we all struggle daily.What's your relationship with sin? Are you fighting against it or making excuses for it? Your answer reveals much about your spiritual condition.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter. Laughs included.

Send us a textPride blinds us to our own flaws while magnifying others' shortcomings. This profound truth sets the stage for a powerful exploration of how Christians can navigate disagreement without falling into the trap of variance – that persistent quarreling that flows directly from hatred.The conversation delves into a troubling phenomenon within Christian communities: believers who fight more passionately over worldly political positions than they ever would for Christ's kingdom. Many Christians can articulate detailed political stances but never share their faith with a single soul. This misplaced zeal reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of our identity as citizens of God's kingdom rather than this world.Scripture provides clear guidance for believers engaged in difficult conversations. Second Timothy 2:24 reminds us that "the Lord's bondservant must not be quarrelsome," while Proverbs warns that those who hate correction are foolish. The participants share personal struggles with anger and pride, modeling vulnerability and the ongoing nature of sanctification. One speaker even asks forgiveness for past harshness, demonstrating the humility that should characterize Christian discourse.Perhaps most challenging is the discussion of when to engage and when to walk away. After presenting truth once or twice, there comes a point when continuing a circular argument becomes counterproductive. Some people mistakenly believe they possess persuasive powers even Christ didn't claim, spending countless hours in fruitless debates rather than accepting that some hearts aren't ready to receive truth.This conversation offers practical wisdom for speaking truth in love while avoiding unnecessary conflict. It's a reminder that winning arguments often matters less than winning hearts – and that sometimes, the most transformative truth is received when spoken gently, even when it initially provokes discomfort.

Send us a textThe battle between flesh and spirit plays out daily in our lives, especially when we're provoked to anger. This powerful conversation explores how Christians can navigate contentious situations without losing their spiritual footing.When someone pushes our buttons, our natural instinct is to react—sometimes explosively. But as believers, we're called to something higher: "Be angry and sin not." Participants share personal struggles with maintaining composure when provoked, acknowledging how difficult it can be to step back, pray, and recollect ourselves rather than immediately responding with anger.The discussion draws inspiration from powerful examples like Jesus Christ, Francis of Assisi, and Patrick of Ireland—individuals who responded to hatred with love and persecution with mercy. If Christ himself, who could have called down legions of angels, chose gentleness and humility, how much more should we practice restraint in our interactions?Perhaps most challenging is the examination of how Christians often become entangled in worldly politics, fighting more passionately for earthly kingdoms than for God's. We're reminded that believers should be present in every sphere—military, entertainment, politics—not to be consumed by these worlds but to be light within them. The fundamental error occurs when we begin identifying more with political affiliations than with our identity in Christ.True wealth isn't found in political power or worldly success but in Christian fellowship and brotherhood. While politicians may acquire riches through compromise, believers find their treasure in relationship with Christ and His people—a perspective that helps us maintain focus on eternal values amid temporal distractions.Join us as we explore these profound spiritual truths and discover how to maintain a Christ-like demeanor even when the world seems determined to provoke us to do otherwise.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

Send us a textWhat does authentic Christian community look like in a world defined by division? This powerful conversation explores how believers can achieve genuine unity without compromising truth.We begin by examining Christ's own example of strength with gentleness, noting how he consistently demonstrated the perfect balance of conviction and compassion. This model challenges us to reconsider how we engage with both fellow believers and the broader culture around us.The discussion shifts to the beautiful dynamic that emerges when diverse believers gather with shared purpose. Like a spiritual potluck, each person brings something unique to the table—scripture insights, personal testimonies, thoughtful questions—creating a feast that nourishes everyone present. This diversity doesn't weaken unity but strengthens it when Christ remains at the center.A particularly compelling thread explores what it means to be "peculiar people"—set apart for God's purposes while still present in the world. This identity brings remarkable peace, freeing us from the anxiety and strife that comes with over-investment in worldly systems. We're challenged to see ourselves as "in exile," building on the solid foundation rather than the shifting sands of cultural trends.The conversation doesn't shy away from addressing how politics and controversies can divide believers. Instead of finding identity in political affiliations or theological camps, we're reminded that our primary citizenship is in heaven. This perspective transforms how we approach disagreements, allowing us to stand firm on essentials while demonstrating the humility that should characterize Christ's followers.Join us for this profound exploration of Christian unity that demonstrates what our fractured world desperately needs but cannot produce through human effort alone—a community bound together by something far more powerful than agreement on every point.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

Some conflicts in life are petty and meaningless. People argue about preferences, opinions, or traditions—matters that carry no eternal weight. But there is one conflict that transcends all others, one battle every Christian is called to fight, one war worth every ounce of strength and every drop of blood. It is the battle for the faith once delivered unto the saints. There are few subjects in Scripture as weighty, as urgent, and as neglected in our generation as the command to contend for the faith. The servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, penned this brief but powerful letter to awaken believers to the sobering reality that the faith—once delivered—must be contended for in every generation. The purpose of this message is to walk through ten biblical ways that we are called to contend for the faith. Each principle is rooted in Scripture and exemplified in the lives of early believers. These are not mere ideas; they are marching orders for every believer and every church that seeks to be faithful in a time of apostasy. The sermon emphasizes the vital necessity of earnestly contending for the faith, a body of doctrine revealed in Scripture, particularly in light of encroaching error. Drawing from Jude's exhortation, the message underscores that this struggle requires wisdom, spiritual strength, reasoned persuasion, and a clear demonstration of Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah. It highlights the importance of individual and corporate faithfulness across generations, recognizing that Christianity remains perpetually vulnerable to decline unless believers actively defend and transmit the unadulterated truth, resisting the temptation to compromise.
