Titus 3 emphasizes how Christians should live within society and among unbelievers: submitting to rulers, showing humility and gentleness, avoiding quarrels and foolish disputes, and being devoted to good works. Paul reminds believers of God's mercy through regeneration and renewal by the Spirit, justification by grace, and their inheritance of eternal life. The chapter also warns against divisive people and stresses meeting urgent needs so that believers live fruitful lives.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/lets-talk-scripture/donations

We explain what becoming and being a Reformed Christian and a Reformed libertarian is and means in basic terms. We say why one should, and how one can, become a Reformed Christian and a Reformed libertarian. We explain what libertarianism is, and why every libertarian is already a religious libertarian. We mention the ultimate purpose in becoming a Christian, and part of how Reformed Christianity grounds our view of libertarianism. We briefly explain how the Reformed view of Romans 13 is compatible with libertarianism. And we conclude with three general things a non-Christian can do to facilitate their discovering that Christianity is true.https://reformedlibertarians.com/024Main Points of Discussion00:00 Introduction00:32 Episode description02:06 What it means to become and be a Christian05:38 What we mean by libertarianism09:54 Why every libertarian is already a religious libertarian15:55 The ultimate purpose in becoming a Christian18:20 How Reformed Christianity grounds libertarianism25:27 What about Romans 13?29:19 Recap30:12 Three things to discover Reformed Christianity is trueAdditional ResourcesEpisode 1: Reformed Libertarians Podcast introductionhttps://reformedlibertarians.com/001 Episode 12: Is Civil Governance Without The State Plausible?https://reformedlibertarians.com/012 Episode 19: The Myth of Religious Neutralityhttps://reformedlibertarians.com/019 For more about self-evidence see the 11 lecture series (about 3.5 hrs total) “Philosophy of Religion and Knowing God is Real,” especially lectures 6 & 7https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwrDNUO5MDu_XWQBwDFvjTk0Au0-6un3D Episode 2: What Does Romans 13 Say About Civil Government?https://reformedlibertarians.com/002 The Reformed Political Resistance Theology annotated bibliographyhttps://tinyurl.com/RefoPoliResistBib "The Problem Of Evil Answered"https://sites.google.com/view/problemofevilanswered Three things Non-Christians can do to facilitate discovering the truth of Christianity is discussed in lecture 11 of the series mentioned above.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWusi_p9RhU&list=PLwrDNUO5MDu_XWQBwDFvjTk0Au0-6un3D&index=11 The New Testament Gospel of Johnhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John&version=ESV Following the plot of the Bible's big picturehttps://upper-register.com/mp3s.html#unfolding Study Guide to the Westminster Shorter Catechism, by G.I.

Fr. Mike examines the relationship between the Church and non-Christian religions. He discusses that while there is some degree of goodness and truth in every religion, the fullness of truth exists in the Catholic Church. Fr. Mike concludes with a reflection on the statement from the early Church Fathers that “outside the Church there is no salvation.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 839-848. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Today, Mike and Tim are joined by A.J. Swoboda to discuss his journey in theology, the concept of 'Slow Theology', and the challenges of being teachable in a culture that often shames humility. He explores the tension between emotivism and the life of the mind, emphasizing the importance of learning from diverse perspectives, including those we may disagree with. Swoboda advocates for creating space for differences and encourages Christians to embrace a posture of learning and humility in their faith journey. Further, Mike and A.J. explore the complexities of engaging with culture as Christians, emphasizing the importance of understanding and contextualizing the gospel. They discuss the challenges of navigating truth in a hostile environment, the necessity of self-critique within the faith community, and the vulnerability that comes with learning. A.J. shares a personal story about a moment of realization regarding his lack of knowledge, using it as a metaphor for deeper issues of shame and growth in faith.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction 11:30 A.J.

How can Christians ensure that they are maturing in Christ? In our passage, Paul reproves the Corinthians for their immaturity and points them to God's truth.

Have you ever wondered about the fate of those who don't profess faith in Jesus? Can a loving and merciful God condemn billions of people to eternal torment? How do we reconcile these questions with the heart of the gospel?In this message, we dive into one of the most challenging questions for Christians in our ongoing series, "Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith." Together, we explore the different perspectives Christians have taken over the centuries—Christian Exclusivism, Universalism, and Inclusivism—while reflecting on what scripture, tradition, reason, and experience can teach us about the nature of God's love, mercy, and justice.This message isn't about pushing a single viewpoint; it's about equipping you to reflect deeply, wrestle honestly with doubts, and grow in your understanding of faith. Come with your questions, your curiosity, and an open heart as we engage in meaningful dialogue about salvation, God's character, and the call to share our faith.Speaker: Pastor Mark ReynoldsVenue: First United Methodist Church (Cocoa Beach, FL)Don't forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell so you never miss an update.

Most Christians would likely agree that Jesus and the Gospels provide us with guidance for how we should be living our lives. People of non-Christian faith traditions, or those with no religious belief at all, might have a somewhat different response...but our guest today, Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, is here to talk about how non-Christians can find value in Jesus and the Gospels, and why they should take another look at the New Testament!

Now that we've established the historical facts, all that remains is to determine what best explains them. The explanation offered by Jesus' disciples was that Jesus was raised from the dead. Non-Christians, atheists, and anti-supernaturalists do not want to accept that explanation, so they have proposed a great number of alternative, non-miraculous explanations. I'll examine those alternative theories over the next two episodes. In this episode I examine the theft hypothesis, the switcheroo hypothesis, the apparent death theory, the hallucination theory, the wrong tomb theory, and the copycat of pagan mythology theory. Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieve

Reverend Steve Johnson - Scripture: Colossians 4:2-18

Sermon by Rev. David Rountree on October 20, 2024 at New Covenant Church in Anderson, SC. Scripture Passage: Psalm 19:1-14 The World Book—General Revelation (v.1-6) 1. Creation studies are worth our time and money. 2. Recognize that you and I are not stuck in ignorance. 3. Realize God's creation never ceases to speak of the glory of God 4. Notice that we do not have to make our studies “Christian” to validate them. 5. Recognize we will agree with non-Christians. The Word Book—Special Revelation (v.7-11) 1. Non-Christians can read but not understand scripture properly (1 Cor. 2:11-15). 2. Whoever believes in Jesus will not be disappointed (Rom.10:11-17). 3. All scripture is profitable for us (2 Tim. 3:16). 4. We should not neglect whatever it takes to abide in God's word. 5. We should not neglect church (Matt. 28:19-20; 2 Tim. 4:2; Col. 3:16). The Work Book—Revelation Results (v.12-14).

This week on Tell Me More, the Trio is back together in studio to discuss Dr. Wiles Sermon from Sunday. It's a great episode and we are glad you are here with us!Listen to the companion sermon podcast here. Sermon Notes: Together . . . in Power! Ephesians 5:18-6:20  Theme for 2024: Together  Theme for August 2024: Together!  EPHESIANS: This letter was written by Paul from prison in Rome to the church in Ephesus and was intended to be a circular letter for all of the churches in the region. It offers a panoramic view of God's plan to “bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ” (1:10). The letter is filled with praise for the Messiah and revelation (mystery) about God's miraculous work through Him. Thus, Ephesians is known for its High Christology.  Ephesians is also marked by its High Ecclesiology. Paul points his readers to the truths about the identity and realities of the Church that God intended. This new creation (the Church) is the new Temple where heaven and earth converge and the new humanity, comprised of both Jews and Gentiles reside. God is now present in this new creation and on display through this new humanity. He will display His wisdom to the heavenly powers and blanket the earth with His glory and knowledge through the Church (Ephesians 2-3).  The Church is uniquely equipped for this grand task to live circumspect lives amidst their neighbors as testimonies to what God is doing. He will equip the Church through the presence and power of His Spirit to fulfill this role to His glory (Ephesians 5-6).  Satan will not take all of this lying down! He will oppose the work of God on every hand. Consequently, we must be clothed with power from on High to live as the Messiah's people in every arena of our lives!  Remarkably, the union of heaven and earth, the miracle of the new humanity is to actually be on display in our homes! We are to reflect the glory of God in and through our marriages. God created the institution of marriage (Genesis 1-2). He uses the imagery of marriage to convey His relationship with Israel in the Old Testament. Every Christian marriage is intended to be a reflection of the relationship that Christ has with His Church. “Tinker with it at your own peril” (N.T. Wright).   Christians are to be marked by mutual submission as one sign of being filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18-21).  A Christian home is characterized by an appropriate level of order and clarity. Marriage is a heaven/earth partnership between a man and a woman, each participating in the partnership willingly and lovingly as unto Christ. Men and women are different, uniquely designed by God (Genesis 1:26-28) and both created in His image. Marriage is not just a partnership intended for mutual fulfillment (though this does happen), it is intended to be a reflection of the mystery of the union of Christ and His Church! Non-Christians should gaze at Christian marriages with wonder, curiosity, and amazement!

Always hold out hope to grieving families. Salvation rests in the person and work of Christ alone, who is both abounding in mercy and able to bring sinners to Himself at any moment and in any circumstance.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Matt Kennedy about his online article,  entitled, “Non-Christians, Death, and Comforting the Bereaved“.  https://www.equip.org/articles/non-christians-death-and-comforting-the-bereaved/Other similar recent articles and podcasts by this author:Episode 391 Who May Come To The Lord's Table—Eucharistic Welcome And Warning“Who May Come To The Lord's Table—Eucharistic Welcome And Warning.“Episode 368 Christian Parenting and the Peril of Public School Education“Christian Parenting and the Peril of Public School Education ”Episode 355 Is Re-Baptism Biblical?“Should Christians Be Rebaptized?”Episode 306 Marriage Is about the Gospel: Clarifying the Boundaries of Christian OrthodoxyMarriage is about the Gospel: Clarifying the Boundaries of Christian Orthodoxy

It is common among Non-Christians and far too many Christians to believe that Jesus somehow just accepted everyone without question, that he never had a harsh word to say about anyone, their beliefs, or their behaviors, and that his only message was for folks to just be happy and be nice.Jesus told us in scripture that many would say unto Him Lord, Lord, and proclaim how many wonderful works they did in His name and He would tell them depart from me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you.   

What is the best apologetics argument for Christianity? In this episode, we explore the powerful case for the Christian worldview through the lens of "The Impossibility of the Contrary." Discover why Christianity provides the necessary foundation for logic, science, and morality, and how these key elements of our understanding of reality presuppose the truth of the Christian faith. Key Points Discussed: How Christianity offers the only coherent foundation for making sense of the world. Why the laws of logic require a biblical foundation to be meaningful and consistent. How scientific principles presuppose a universe created and sustained by God. How objective moral values point to the existence of a holy and righteous God. Why This Matters: Strengthen Your Faith. Enhance Your Apologetics. Engage with Non-Christians. Be prepared to articulate why Christianity is not just one option among many but the essential foundation for understanding reality. This episode will equip you with a vital tool for defending and proclaiming the truth of Christianity. By understanding and employing this argument, you can engage more effectively with both believers and skeptics, showing how the Christian worldview uniquely answers life's most profound questions.

The Christian life is like a glass of chocolate milk!  The fact that so few Christians know why, is the reason multitudes are NOT accepting Christ.  Non-Christians don't see something in us that COMPELS them to want what we have.  Think about it: Do non-believers want what YOU have? Do YOU even want what you have? When you wake up in the middle of the night, gripped by fear, is that what non-believers want?  Is that what YOU want?  If you answered “No” to any of those questions, you need to understand how the Christian life is like a glass of chocolate milk. #faith #worldview Brightmedia.org twitter.com/GodIsTheIssue GOD, Who Are You Anyway?  by Bill Bright, with Brad Bright brightmedia.org/resources Time Stamps:   00:02 – 01:10 Why don't people want what Christians have?  01:43 – 02:40 Why the Rock sank 03:04 – 03:48  Why isn't the Christian life working?  03:50 – 05:01 Chocolate Milk and the Holy Spirit 05:10 – 05:44 Do you struggle with this?  06:44 – 07:33 Problem at Wheaton College   07:34 – 08:06 Cru staff and chocolate milk 08:26 – 09:01 Bill Bright wasn't always that way 09:01 – 09:55 Peter, Bill Bright and you

Many modern Christians think Christians are inherently more moral than non-believers. Non-Christians, as a rule, don't think so. What about in the ancient world? Why is it that the most widely attested view among ancient pagans was the opposite, that Christians were dangerously immoral reprobates? Why weren't they seen as stalwart proponents of family values?

In 2 Corinthians 6:14, Paul wrote, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.” Does this mean Christian singles should not date someone who doesn't share their faith? What if the "significant other" is a Christian but not an Apostolic Pentecostal? Dr. David K. Bernard discusses how Paul's statement applies to Christian singles who are considering marriage and who want to honor God in their choice of a spouse.If you enjoy this podcast, leave a five-star rating and a review on iTunes or your preferred podcast platform.

Hey, Neighbor, we're recording on Superbowl Sunday... not to be confused with Tuesdays with Taylor... (By the way, are you the Master of your own Sea?) Then: Not only do Christians like to identify as "Sinners," but we like to sanitize the behavior of the Unbelievers. We want to give them the benefit of the doubt--even though they are Lost. Later: We tried to raise Luke's bloodpressure with the story of a grumpy patient complaining about her stay at the hospital. But he is pretty unflappable. Do you know what the medical community does with particularly uncooperative patients? Finally: Let's talk about the idol of People Pleasing. What IS the difference between having a "servant's heart" and being a people-pleaser? Contact the comedian's family: nextdoor@johnbranyan.com
