Episode 2.38 (re-upload with correct audio file!)What counts as a real miracle—and why does it matter?In this episode of Take 2 Theology, Zach and Michael define what a biblical miracle is (and isn't), explore how miracles appear across Scripture, and reflect on their purpose in God's redemptive plan. Drawing from theologians like Wayne Grudem and John Frame, the episode highlights how miracles aren't just flashy interruptions but covenant-signs of God's power and faithfulness.Covered in this episode:– Defining miracles: Grudem vs. Frame– Why miracles are rare—and why that's the point– Old and New Testament miracle clusters– Why some eras (like Judges or today) see fewer miracles– The difference between miracles and providence– Whether miracles still happen today– Why the greatest miracle may be the new birthNot all wonders are miracles—but every true miracle points to the God who rules nature, time, and salvation itself.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/hrfwPeebGVYMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stoneLicense code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

1Corinthians 11:8–12 (ESV) — 8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.

Tackling one of the most challenging questions of faith needed someone with incredible knowledge of God's Word. In this episode of THE INDOUBT SHOW, host Andrew Marcus sits down with renowned theologian and author Dr. Wayne Grudem to take a deep dive into the character of God, the nature of justice, and the reality of human free will. Dr. Grudem provides biblical insight into why hell exists, what Scripture teaches about God's holiness and love, and how we can reconcile the idea of eternal punishment with a good and merciful God. If you've ever wrestled with this question or know someone who has, this episode will equip you with thoughtful, biblical answers. Tune in for an engaging and theologically rich discussion that encourages both believers and skeptics to consider the truth of the gospel.

YOUMUST CONSIDER THE PREEMINENCE OF THE LOVE OF GOD, AND IN IT FIND COURAGE ANDCOMFORT GOD IS THE OBJECTIVEDEFINITION OF LOVE.1 John 4:7–11 God's perfect love is hisdetermination to give of himself to himself and to others, and is his affectionfor himself and his people.MacArthur and Mayhue, eds., Biblical Doctrine: A SystematicSummary of Bible Truth God's love means that God eternally gives of himselfto othersWayne A. Grudem, SystematicTheology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine GOD IS THE OBJECTIVEDEFINITION OF HOLY/DIVINE JEALOUSY, PASSION, OR ZEAL. Exodus 34:14 for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord,whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God… God's jealousy is hiszealous protectiveness of all that belongs to him (himself, his name, hisglory, his people, his sole right to receive worship and ultimate obedience,his land, and his city). (MacArthur and Mayhue) God's jealousy may bedefined as follows: God's jealousy means that God continually seeks to protecthis own honor. It is healthy for us spiritually when wesettle in our hearts the fact that God deserves all honor and glory from hiscreation, and that it is right for him to seek this honor. He alone isinfinitely worthy of being praised. To realize this fact and to delight init is to find the secret of true worship. (Grudem)TWO QUESTIONFOR US ALL TO CONSIDER!

In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul affirms both singleness and marriage as good options for Christians. But when he is asked about issues of separation and divorce, Paul applies the teaching of Jesus and the heart of God in a way that offers both grace and truth. There is hope for every marriage to stay together, there is hope for victims, and there is hope for life after divorce.The sermon today is titled "Body Matters."

Today, I want to focus on the role of the pastor in all of this. What a big job! Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is both incredibly simple and potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to live intentionally and on His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! If you are new to the show, you can find our past shows on our website, runwithhorses.net. I have spent several weeks focusing on a definition of the church and the current discussion about a discipleship pathway is best understood in the context of our broader look at the church. If you have been enjoying the show, I would appreciate it if you would leave a review wherever you are listening! And as always, your questions, comments and feedback are welcome. Write me at norman@runwithhorses.net. And now, on with the show... ***(27:00) ***END***(23:00)**** Habits – Personal Humility and Teachability • Habit: Maintain a posture of humility, being teachable and open to correction and growth. • Biblical Basis: "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." (James 4:10) Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. • Why It's Important: Pride can hinder spiritual growth and effectiveness in discipling others. Humility allows the disciple maker to continue growing and learning. Prides keeps you at the center, Humilty helps keep Jesus at the center. ***(23:00)***END***(0:00) Shepherding and equipping a church for ministry requires a lot from a pastor. 1. **Spiritual Leadership** - **Biblical Knowledge****Prayer Life****Discernment** 2. **Preaching and Teaching** - **Effective Communication****Teaching Skills** 3. **Relational Skills** - **Empathy and Compassion****Conflict Resolution****Mentoring and Discipleship** 4. **Leadership and Vision Casting** - **Visionary Leadership****Decision-Making and Strategy****Delegation** 5. **Equipping and Empowering** - **Recognizing Gifts in Others****Training and Development****Empowerment – give authority away to others** 6. **Administration and Organization** - **Organizational Skills****Team Building****Budgeting and Stewardship** 7. **Emotional Intelligence** - **Self-Awareness****Ability to read the room****Resilience** 8. **Counseling and Pastoral Care** - **Counseling Skills****Crisis Management** 9. **Cultural Awareness and Engagement** - **Cultural Sensitivity**: Churches are often diverse in terms of culture, background, and socioeconomic status. A pastor must be culturally aware and sensitive, able to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome. - **Community Engagement**: Pastors should have a heart for the local community and a strategy for how the church can serve outside its walls. Engaging with local needs and being a visible presence in the community helps fulfill the church's mission. 10. **Adaptability and Lifelong Learning** - **Adaptability**: The church and broader culture are always changing. Pastors must be flexible, able to adapt their leadership and ministry approaches to meet new challenges, such as changes in technology, social issues, or generational shifts. - **Continual Growth**: Great pastors are lifelong learners, committed to their own spiritual, intellectual, and professional growth. Attending conferences, pursuing theological education, or engaging with mentors helps pastors stay sharp and effective in their ministry. 11. **Personal Integrity and Character** - **Moral Integrity**: Above all, pastors need to model Christlike character, demonstrating integrity, humility, and faithfulness in their personal and professional lives. Trust is central to leadership, and integrity is foundational to building that trust. - **Servant-Heartedness**: Pastors should approach their leadership role with humility and a desire to serve others, following the example of Christ, who came not to be served but to serve (Matthew 20:28). By developing these skills, a pastor can effectively shepherd the congregation, equip members for ministry, and create a thriving, Christ-centered church community. Balancing the various responsibilities of a pastor—such as sermon preparation, counseling, small groups, leadership, and training — requires intentional time management and prioritization. Here's a strategy to help a pastor manage these tasks effectively: 1. **Set Priorities and Define Time Blocks** - **Sermon Preparation:** This is typically the pastor's core weekly responsibility, so allocate large, uninterrupted blocks of time. Many pastors reserve the best mental energy times, such as mornings, for sermon prep. A typical week might include: - **Monday**: Initial study and prayer for the sermon. - **Tuesday/Wednesday**: Deep study, outlining, and drafting. - **Thursday**: Finalizing and practicing delivery. - **Counseling:** Set dedicated times during the week for counseling appointments. For instance, 1-2 afternoons can be reserved for pastoral care and counseling. - **Small Groups and Discipleship:** These typically occur in the evening. You can limit these to a few nights per week (e.g., Tuesday and Thursday) and delegate or raise up other leaders to assist in leading groups. - **Leadership and Training:** Set aside time for leadership development, meetings, or training sessions. This can be scheduled weekly or bi-weekly, depending on the need. For example, leadership meetings could be set for Monday or Wednesday afternoons, before or after sermon prep. 2. **Delegate Where Possible** Pastors often feel they need to do everything themselves, but delegating is key to maintaining balance. Assign trusted team members or volunteers to lead certain small groups, handle administrative tasks, or even assist in some counseling roles. ***(00:00)*** END PART 1*** ___________________ ***(27:00) ***BEGIN PART 2 ***END ***(5:00)*** 3. **Utilize Early Mornings or Evenings for Training and Leadership** If training leaders or discipling key individuals is a priority, use early mornings for small leadership huddles or evenings if that works better for the participants. Short, focused meetings (e.g., breakfast meetings) can maximize time without disrupting the rest of the day. 4. **Batch Similar Tasks** Instead of switching between different types of work throughout the day, batch similar tasks together. For instance, group all counseling appointments on specific days and leave other days for sermon prep and leadership training. This minimizes transition time and helps you stay mentally focused on one type of task at a time. 5. **Personal Development Time** Block time each week for your own spiritual and professional growth. Without this, it can be easy to burn out. This might include personal Bible study, prayer, or reading to stay refreshed. 6. **Protect Your Sabbath** Schedule a clear day of rest each week to recharge. It's important for pastors to guard their time for personal renewal, family, and spiritual refreshment. ### Example Typical Weekly Schedule:### Where is the rest? - **Monday:** - Morning: Sermon prep (Initial study, prayer, and research) - Afternoon: Counseling and administrative tasks - Evening: Rest/Family time - **Tuesday:** - Morning: Sermon prep (Deep study and outlining) - Afternoon: Counseling appointments - Evening: Small group meeting or discipleship group - **Wednesday:** - Morning: Sermon prep (Writing and structuring) - Afternoon: Leadership team meeting or training session - Evening: Midweek service or discipleship training - **Thursday:** - Morning: Sermon prep (Finalization and practice) - Afternoon: Free for flexible needs or meetings - Evening: Small group meeting or discipleship - **Friday:** - Morning: Personal study and prayer (Sabbath/Rest day) - Afternoon: Counseling or visiting members - Evening: Rest/Family time - **Saturday:** - Morning: Free for sermon review or final prep - Afternoon: Outreach, ministry, or personal rest - Evening: Rest - **Sunday:** - Preaching and ministry day ## My Thoughts on a Weeks Schedule Sunday AM Message – Theology of the week – Main theme for the body to focus on this week. Sunday PM – small group ministry, each group asks specific questions about the application of the morning theme and discusses personal application and questions. Feedback for the pastor should come from these groups, what wasn't understood or agreed with? Midweek small groups – prayer focused on living out the mission of Jesus, who are we reaching out to now, how are we doing in living out the Sunday Am message. How can we pray for each other and answer questions that come up as we make real attempts to be followers of Jesus. SS AM before next Message and new theme – final thoughts on the theme from last week, questions about application, encouragement to continue applying this truth to their lives For the pastor, First thing on the schedule is Personal pursuit of Jesus. Second is time with men he is equipping for ministry. Ideally every pastor would always have 2-3 men he is training. Give them your best time and meet when they are available. As men are trained and able to come alongside in ministry time is freed up for the pastor to train others. I put prep for these men above sermon prep. Third, prep for weekly theme. Ideally these consistently builds and are related so you aren't starting from zero, ever. The focus should be practical truths that, when applied in the life of the believer, lead them closer to Jesus and His mission. Fourth, general ministry activities and life of the church tasks. Delegate as many of these as possible. You serve the church body best not by doing everything for them but by helping them see that they are the church and it is their responsibility to be the church. ****(5:00) ***END***( 1:00)*** DOCTRINE October – Bible Authority of the Bible Inerrancy of the Bible Sufficiency of the Bible Necessity of the Bible Necessity: Related to sufficiency, but slightly different, this doctrine holds that “the Bible is necessary for knowing the gospel, for maintaining spiritual life, and for knowing God's will, but is NOT necessary for knowing that God exists or for knowing something about God's character and moral laws” (Grudem, Systematic Theology, 116). This gets at the difference between special and general revelation. Scripture alone provides special revelation: knowledge of God's will and salvation Rom. 10:13–17 – 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Israel Rejects the Gospel 14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.” Acts 4:12 – 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” **(1:00)**END**(00:00) Thanks for joining me again today! I think you will agree with me that the role of the pastor is a big job. If you are not a pastor, take some time to pray for yours today. If you are a pastor, thank you for your service and take some time to ask God to continue growing you in Christ-likeness as you serve.

Gary discusses an article by Wayne Grudem about 10 reasons to vote for Ron DeSantis over Donald Trump. While many of Grudem's points make sense, they don't factor in the current political "mood" prevalent in the country right now. Trump is certainly a lightning rod, which is exactly why he is opposed at every turn by the mainstream media.
It's Tuesday, December 19th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Muslim terrorists kidnapped pastor in Burkina Faso, Africa Global Christian Relief reports that Muslim terrorists have kidnapped a pastor in Burkina Faso, Africa along with seven church members. One pastor said he knows of “around 20 churches that were forced to relocate and are living as refugees in different parts of the country.” Pray for the believers in Burkina Faso — a smaller African nation located just West of Niger. American Jewish facilities targeted Repercussions against American Jewish facilities have increased, reports Israel National News. Just over the weekend, authorities reported 200 bomb threats and false alarms — 100 in California and 62 in Arizona. Plus, a Boulder, Colorado synagogue was forced to evacuate their Saturday services. Overall, these institutions have experienced a 541% increase in these malicious attacks this year, compared to the previous year. 19,500 Palestinians have been killed According to satellite analysis of Gaza Strip, The Economist reports that almost 43,000 buildings have been damaged and 450,000 people have been left without homes in the Israel-Hamas War. Around 19,500 Palestinians and 1,100 Israelis have been killed, according to official numbers. Canadian real estate bubble burst That loud pop sound you just heard is the Canadian real estate market bubble bursting. The greater Toronto area is down 19% from its peak, Victoria is down 11%, and Ottawa 14%, reports Norada Real Estate Investments. More Americans in financial trouble The number of Americans underwater on car loans as exceeded the record set in 2020. In addition, an unprecedented number of Americans failed to make a monthly payment on their federal loans — about 40% according to the Biden Administration, reports Politico. In fact, 45 million Americans have yet to pay off their federal student loans that total more than $1.6 trillion. Debt is skyrocketing The Global Debt Monitor stands at $307 trillion, reports Reuters. And the federal government debt stands at $97 trillion which is up 40% since 2019. A whopping 34% of the debt comes from the United States. That's twice China's contribution, three times Japan's contribution, and ten times the United Kingdom's contribution — as calculated by Visualist Capitalist. Brazil's drop in Gross Domestic Product Brazil's economy retracted in the third quarter by 0.64%. This follows two years of positive Gross Domestic Product growth in 2021 and 2022. Nonetheless, since 2011, the per capita GDP for the nation dropped from $13,200 to $8,900. Conservatives unable to stop tax-funded abortion travel & transgender surgeries The House has passed an $886 billion defense bill without the support of the Republican conservative caucus amounting to 118 votes. They were unable to eliminate taxpayer-supported transgender surgeries and travel for abortions, reports CNA News. Also, some conservatives were hoping to prevent the intelligence community from accessing private devices and communications without a warrant. The bill allowed access through 2024. Pope approves of blessing homosexual couples For the first time, the Vatican and Pope Francis have officially approved of blessings for those living in sinful sexual relationships, removing church discipline for men living in sin, reports LifeSiteNews.com. These blessings are allowed for “couples in irregular situations and for couples of the same sex,” and they are intended so that “human relationships may mature and grow in fidelity to the Gospel message.” However, the decision contradicts a 2021 ruling which stated that God “cannot bless sin.” According to Pew Research, 92% of Catholics in the Netherlands support homosexual faux-marriage as well as 76% of England's Catholics and 61% of American Catholics. Proverbs 25:26 says, “A righteous man who falters before the wicked is like a murky spring and a polluted well.” Evangelical Wayne Grudem calls for Trump to drop out In a public op-ed posted on Newsweek.com, Evangelical theologian Wayne Grudem is encouraging former President Donald Trump to drop out of the 2024 presidential election. While Grudem believes Trump “accomplished a remarkable number of good things for America,” he lists seven problems with the candidate in the 2024 election — including legal problems, refusing to admit losing the last election, Trump's character, Trump's age, and rash endorsements of weak Republican candidates in the last U.S. Senate election. Grudem is calling for a younger Republican candidate for the nomination. Tennessee tornado destroyed 100 homes And finally, more than 100 homes were destroyed by a tornado in Clarksville, Tennessee on Saturday. One mom almost lost her 4-month-old baby to the EF Scale 3 twister. The newborn was still in his bassinet as his father desperately reached for him. Sydney Moore, the mother, talked to News 15. MOORE: “He tried to grab him, but he couldn't and the tip of the tornado sucked them both up.” The baby was ejected from the home. The father was hit by a tree. And Sydney and her other child were trapped under a collapsed wall. Eventually, the father found the newborn alive and without injury. MOORE: “He found him laying in a tree, like somebody placed him in this tree. I don't know how we survived. It had to have been God.” Psalm 56:11-13 says, “In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Tuesday, December 19th in the year of our Lord 2023.

An Interview with Allen Nelson author of A change of heart About the book "Not long ago, I was asked to write on the topic, "If Christianity is so good, why are Christians so bad?"—a question made vastly more difficult by the problem of "false professors" in the pews. I'm grateful that Allen Nelson has accessibly, persuasively, and winsomely laid out the case for restricting the title, "Christian," to the regenerate. As A Change of Heart negotiates the theological currents and rapids associated with monergism, Ordo salutes, sacraments, etc. it's chock-full of scripture citations, helpful analogies (employing The Princess Bride, spinach, buzzards, and a hostage situation), and rich quotes (such as Martyn Lloyd-Jones's "It is true of a man not only that he is in the dark, but that the darkness is also in him") . . . with even a touch of humor (referring to Jesus John 3 visit to "Nick at Night"). And Nelson's use of other voices is most impressive, so much so that I started grouping them alphabetically to see if every letter was covered. Pretty close, to include this sampling: Augustine and Ascol; Beeke, Berkhof, Bavinck, Bunyan, and Boettner; Calvin, Carson, and Cyprian; Dagg, Edwards, Flavel, Grudem, Hodge, Judson, Keach, Luther, MacArthur, Nettles, Owen, Packer, Reisinger, Sproul, Tertullian, Vaughan, and, for W, Wesley, Whitefield, Watson, and Washer.

Pastor Steve and Dr. Sam Waldron sit down to discuss a controversial topic in our age, does the Bible really have some imperatives that are different for men and women in the context of the church setting? (Beginning of Show Notes) My guest is: Sam Waldron (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is the president of Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary and a pastor of Grace Reformed Baptist Church in Owensboro, Kentucky. He is the author of numerous books, including The End Times Made Simple and MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto: A Friendly Response. (Paper - The role of women in the church - 85 pgs). (Hurley - man and woman in Biblical perspective; - 1 Tim 2:11 - 15) 1 Tim 2 - Men and Women in church. Set up: - Saddleback Church, the California-based megachurch founded by Warren (purpose driven life) in 1980, was recently expelled from the Southern Baptist Convention for having a woman fill the office of teaching pastor. The church plans to appeal the decision later this year. Warren's reasons: Great commission - for men and women. Women are to baptize, women are to teach. Acts 2 - women were filled with the Holy Spirit, and women spoke. His third verse of evidence was John 20:17 when Jesus told Mary Magdalene to tell the disciples about his resurrection, noting that Jesus "chose her to be the first preacher of the Gospel." More: Want to get us to 1 Tim 2. Do you believe that women are created in the image of God? Equally? Do you believe that there are women who are intellectually gifted? Are there smart women? Bell curve? Do you believe that men and women are different? *Modern Psychology tells us that… So women preaching. Women pastors. *How do we decide on these things? *What's our doctrine of scripture? Finished: 1 Tim 2V8 - I want the men to do the praying. So wrong to have a woman…? Distinguish. Informal settings. V9 - Similarly. Praying understood. Ellipsis. 2 choices: - I want - I want to pray, the women.. V 11 - what's mean? Turning from praying to teaching/learning. Adam…, the woman. Why? V 12 - How many things? One or two? Ancillary meetings. Youth group? How do some combine into one? V 13 - For Adam… What does this mean? What's the point? V 14 - Not deceived. Deceived. (Aleph and A - super deceived). Point? Q - easier to deceive men about certain things, and in certain circumstances? Q - easier to deceive women about certain things, and in certain circumstances? Do the gender differentiated commands map to differences in male/female natures? Are men and women equal in value…, but different in nature? Workarounds - Seems clear. How do people work around this? Paul wrong…Jesus, not Paul…Radical new interpretations. Esiegesis *Circumstances Ex Nihilo. *Deus Ex Machina Exegesis Examples? Was a localized problem - temple women teaching… How do we know this was not a local problem? “this means a woman can do…?” Some - we should be identifying women with gifts, and training, raising them up…. Some churches create other venues, mixed Website - Village. Staff, women, “minister.” Some - A woman can do anything that an unordained man can do.Alternate venues for women to preach. 1 Cor 11:1-16 - women proph. When? Where? Why? ***Judging the prophets - Grudem, Piper, Carson? 1 Cor 14:33b… What's it mean? V 34 - reasons. What does it mean? What are some of the workarounds?Grudem/Piper view of prophecy? Gal 3:28 - mean? Does it somehow trump? Helps for a women who's struggling with this? What to focus on? (Doctrine of scripture). Eph 5 (Col 3, Titus 2:4-5 train the younger women to be submissive, 1 Peter 3)In general, for the Christian family, husband/wife - what is the God intended role of the wife and husband respectively? Does that role map to their natures? Soft complementarianism. Do these passages really mean what they seem to? Or can we find radical, new ways of understanding them?

What would you like to see books and dissertations written on? 14:00 If God chose both Adam and Eve to rule the Garden. Why then would he say only men to rule the church? 20:30 What do “treasures in heaven” look like? It seems materialistic to do something motivated by treasures in earth or in heaven, but we're told that's our reward. 29:46 Why do so many Christians view decision-making in terms of “open doors” as a signal of God's will or “feeling a peace about it”? Isn't this a misapplication? 38:38 Thoughts on doctor assisted suicide for conscious, aware, terminally ill and suffering people whose lives are prolonged by medicine? 40:55 What is the optimal way to incorporate children (K-6th) into church services. Why Is this less a priority in many evangelical spaces? My kids don't feel welcome. 50:17 If you've seen The Chosen, what are your thoughts on it? And what are your thoughts on some of the criticism that has been leveled against it? 56:03 Is there any info/data to refute the claim that a non-affirming theological position leads to suicidality/self-harm? 108:11 You said ESV wasn't biased to Gender Roles. 13 translators, 11 of them with a direct link to Grudem/on board of CBMW, complementarian, and 0 women- Thoughts? 122:00 Why does God seem so clear about some things in scripture (e.g. generosity, unity) but so unclear about other things (like women's roles in ministry and hell)? 1:26:47 What does scripture actually say about Communion? The texts in Luke 22:19 & 1 Cor 11:24 seem to simply say: whenever you have any meal at all, remember my death 1:31:13 When do you think a woman can preach/teach? If she's the most qualified or available person in a certain situation, should she preach until a man is available? 1:34:22 Do you believe good and/or evil things can happen "randomly" in the world? Or can everything be traced back to the free will of humans and/or spiritual beings?

What's the difference between knowledge and wisdom? Where does wisdom come from? What does wisdom look like in everyday life? Where does wisdom come from? Worldly Wisdom: Naturalism: Everything comes from natural properties and causes. Hedonism: Life is motivated by the desire for pleasure and avoidance of pain. Existentialism: Every person is responsible for creating his or her own meaning. Postmodernism: There is no universal or ethical absolute standard. Right and wrong is determined by different places, times, and cultures. Godly Wisdom: Job 28:20-24 From where, then, does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding? It is hidden from the eyes of all living and concealed from the birds of the air. Abaddon and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.' “God understands the way to it, and he knows its place. For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens. Wisdom: A Definition Hebrew: Chokmah—Greek: Sophia Knowledge. Ability. Understanding. Discernment. Prudence. Insight. God's wisdom means that God always chooses the best goals and the best means to those goals. -Grudem, Systematic Theology, 193 Wisdom comes from a personal relationship with Jesus. Since fearing God is the beginning of wisdom, and since the only way we can love, honor, respect, and obey him is through Jesus, only the true believer can have true wisdom. What does wisdom look like? 1. A believer who demonstrates godly wisdom lives with eternity in mind (Eccl 7:1-4). 2. Believers who demonstrate godly wisdom surround themselves with true friends who speak truth (Eccl 7:5-6). 3. A believer's wisdom is not bulletproof. • Be careful with your finances (Eccl 7:7). • Practice patience (Eccl 7:8). • Guard against anger (Eccl 7:9). • Don't live in the past (Eccl 7:10). …The memory of the past—are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself, they turn into dumb idols, breaking the hearts of their worshipers. For they are not the thing itself; they are only a scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, new from a far country we have not yet visited. -C. S. Lewis (The Weight of Glory) quoted in Living Life Backward, David Gibson, 103. We long for the past—but the past was never as good as we remember it to be. Lewis says the wise person understands that when we long for the past, God is nudging us to long for the future—Heaven—where every earthy experience will be finally fulfilled. Wise people who understand how God has made us to long for him and for heaven don't look backward when they get nostalgic. They all the feeling to point forward. They look up to heaven and to home. -David Gibson, Living Life Backward, 103 DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOORE Get Ron's Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.

In this episode we talk about the clarity, necessity, and sufficiency of the Bible. This is part 1 of a 2 part mini series. We seek to answer the following questions: Do we need to know what the Bible says to know that God exists? p. 48Can you speak to the dynamic that some parts of Scripture are clear and others are more difficult to understand? Why is this the case? p. 48Please define the clarity of Scripture?” p. 49How does the Old Testament and New Testament affirm its own clarity? pp. 49-50What was your reaction to Grudem's thought that “give yourself to the public reading of Scripture” could implies that ordinary people can understand its clarity? p. 50What are the 7 requirements that Grudem gives for understanding Scripture rightly? pp. 50-54
In today's world, information is quickly delivered to us in vast amounts from all parts of the world. And…with all the “advances,” life under the sun is still “vanity” (short, elusive, confusing, and wearisome). The Information Age brought on a new set of problems. TikTok not only numbs young minds but challenges our children to question their sexual identity. Social media keeps us alone while “connecting” with others, often resulting in an array of relationship issues. Has the vast information at our fingertips made us wiser or more discerning? And what does it mean to be wise anyway? If you said, “That person has a lot of wisdom,” what would you have observed to come to that conclusion? Wisdom (Part 1) Observations from Ecclesiastes 1:12-15 and 2:12-17 • Intellectual pursuit cannot solve our foundational issues (Eccl 1:12-15). • Chasing knowledge ends with the sad conclusion that our heart is still empty (Eccl 1:16-18). • Even the wisest man or woman must face the solemn reality of death (Eccl 2:12-17). The Wisdom of God • God alone is all-wise. Romans 16:27 To the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen. Job 9:4 He is wise in heart…. Job 12:13 With God are wisdom and might; he has counsel and understanding. God's wisdom means that God always chooses the best goals and the best means to those goals. -Grudem, Systematic Theology, 193 The Wisdom of the Cross (1 Corinthians 1:18-31) • God redeemed fallen man (his goal) by sending Jesus to pay the penalty for our sin on the cross (the best and only means). • The work of Jesus on the cross was the “wisdom of God” (1 Cor 1:24) and “became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption” (1 Cor 1:30).

What do you do when your theology of suffering moves from the realm of hypothetical to the realm of reality? Join us this week as we host our friend and fellow minister Tony Perrello, who has lived this as much as anyone we know. Tony and his family moved to Macau to be missionaries with World Venture. On his first day there, he began to develop symptoms of multiple sclerosis. While initially shaking his faith, Tony learned to see this as a gift of God that could be used to bring hope to others. This discussion doesn't settle for easy or trite answers. We hope that this podcast will be a resource for so many who are suffering during this hard time in our world. Thanks for listening!
