After a South African pastor claimed that Christ would come for his church on September 23, TikTok became rapture obsessed. Mike Erre joins Skye and Kaitlyn to discuss our ongoing fixation with this bad theology, why people get caught up in rapture predictions, and how it damages the credibility of the faith. Kaitlyn talks to Medieval scholar, Grace Hamman, about her new book, “Asks of Old Paths.” Hamman says Medieval literature is rich in wisdom for modern Christians on how to define a good life, using the language of virtues and vices. Also this week—a secular writer examines the benefit of confession and repentance, which makes us wonder why so few Christians practice it.

“I can't fix the world. I can't save my university. I can't save my department. I can't save my students .... but I can keep showing up to what I've been called to do.” — Grace Hamman Medieval scholar Grace Hamman joins us on the podcast to discuss the wisdom medieval virtues and vices have for us today. What can medieval virtues and vices teach us about living the good life today? Author and medieval scholar Dr. Grace Hamman joins us on the podcast to discuss her recent book Ask of Old Paths: Medieval Virtues and Vices for a Whole and Holy Life. In our conversation, Grace describes what drew her into the study of virtues and vices, and the timeless truths she discovered in her work. We discuss the insights that virtues and vices offer about human nature and Grace offers practical suggestions about ways these ancient ideas can lead us into a life of wholeness today. Grace shares too about her journey as an independent scholar and the gifts and challenges she has found on that path. Also, as a bonus, Grace's publisher has shared an excerpt from her book that you can check out in our show notes, so take a look at those. And if you listen to the end of the credits, you'll hear an excerpt from our interview where Grace recites something for us in Middle English. So jump right in!

Old Paths vs. New Ways The message focuses on adhering to the "old path" of faith and salvation through Jesus Christ, contrasting it with "new ways" that deviate from traditional Christian beliefs. The "old path" is not defined by a specific point in time or past practices, but by the unchanging truths of the Bible and salvation through Jesus Christ. Example: It's not about whether there was electricity or carpet in the past, but about the belief in Jesus Christ as the only means of salvation. The "new ways" are presented as alternatives that compromise or contradict the core tenets of Christianity. Example: Teachings that suggest other methods of salvation or deny God's role in creation. The Unchanging Nature of Salvation Salvation is exclusively through Jesus Christ. At the name of Jesus every knee should bow and every tongue confess. Being "born again" is essential. This involves recognizing oneself as a sinner, convicted by the Holy Spirit, and accepting Jesus Christ. External actions alone (raising hands, signing cards, joining a church, attending services) do not guarantee salvation. Salvation is not achieved through personal effort or works, but through faith in Jesus Christ. It is by grace through faith, not of works. Walking the Old Path The "old path" is described as a straight and narrow path, requiring adherence to God's Word and a rejection of worldly temptations. Staying on the "old path" requires a conscious decision to follow Jesus Christ, regardless of external pressures or societal norms. The "old path" is not about outward appearances or material possessions, but about the condition of one's heart. It's not about what you have, what you wear, or what you look like, but what's in your heart. The "old path" extends back to the creation of man, emphasizing its timeless and foundational nature. It goes back to when God breathed life into man. Resisting the New Ways The "new ways" are portrayed as deceptive and leading to hardship and misery. The enemy is out to steal, kill, and destroy. The enemy constantly presents "new paths" as easier or more appealing alternatives to the "old path." The devil shows up and asks if you've considered this path. Resisting the "new ways" requires a firm commitment to Jesus Christ and a willingness to stand against opposition. The Example of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is used as an example of unwavering faith and commitment to the "old path." They refused to bow down to a false idol, even when threatened with death in a fiery furnace. Their refusal to compromise their faith demonstrates the importance of standing firm in one's convictions, regardless of the consequences. Their story illustrates that God is with those who remain faithful, even in the midst of trials. The fourth man in the fire was like the Son of God. The Goodness of the Old Path The "old path" is described as good, despite not being easy or offering the least resistance. Walking the "old path" leads to experiencing the goodness of God. The "old path" is associated with eternal life and a relationship with Jesus Christ. Even in the face of death, those on the "old path" have the assurance of salvation and eternal life. Even if the body is buried, the soul will not be in the grave. Standing Firm in the Face of Opposition The message emphasizes the importance of making a decision to follow Jesus Christ before facing trials or temptations. Believers should be prepared to stand firm in their faith, even when facing pressure to conform to worldly standards. The "old path" may lead to being seen as foolish or fanatical by the world, but it is the path that leads to salvation. The "old path" is not a solitary journey; believers have the presence of God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) with them. The Exclusive Nature of Salvation

We often hear church members say we need to return to the old paths. But what exactly are the old paths? Pastor Baer answers this question from the Biblical perspective.

Old Paths & New Ways Eric Pluff 8-17-25 by Praise Community Church

A sermon by John Zeigler entitled "Ask for the Old Paths" from Jeremiah 6:9-17

A - About: Jeremiah 6 is a passionate warning to Jerusalem, describing the coming judgment due to persistent sin, oppression, and refusal to listen to God's Word. Despite watchmen and prophets, the people choose rebellion over repentance. B - Best Verse: Jeremiah 6:16 – "Thus says the Lord: 'Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls.' But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'" C - Call to Action: Return to God's Word and walk in His truth. Seek the "old paths" of faith and righteousness rather than following the world's deception. Listen to God's warnings and respond in obedience and faith.

Pastor Larson- Jer 6:16-17    

11-03-24 Sun AM

What path are you walking on today? Jeremiah 6:16: “Thus says the LORD: ‘Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls.' But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.'” Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 3rd of June, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Jeremiah 6:16: “Thus says the Lord:“Stand in the ways and see,And ask for the old paths, where the good way is,And walk in it;Then you will find rest for your souls.”Then we go to the Book of Matthew 11:29, Jesus says: “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” The old paths. Why do we always want to reinvent the wheel? Let us not become so arrogant and let us start to listen to the Lord Jesus Christ. He has walked this old path before, He knows the way home. He knows about the pitfalls and the dangers. You know the mighty Comrades Marathon that takes place in South Africa every year? It is two standard marathons, back to back. It is a killer, let me tell you. I tried it once and I didn't finish. Why? Because I didn't listen and I did not take advice, and I did not keep to the old ways. You and I are running the marathon of our lives at the moment. We need a good bus driver. You might ask what is a bus driver. Well, I will tell you what he or she is. In the Comrades Marathon, you get an experienced runner who has run many, many marathons. They put a little reed on the back of their belt of their running gear and it has a little flag on it, and you get onto that bus and you run with that bus driver, and that bus driver will guarantee that he will take you home in the given time if you listen to him. He will tell you where to stop, he will tell you where to drink, when to eat, he will tell you when to walk and he will tell you when to run. He will tell you to swing your arms and sing songs when you are taking strain, and he will guarantee that he will take you home - if you listen to him.Now, Jesus Christ is the absolute, all-time champion. He is offering you and I, today, the best way home. Let's follow His instructions and enjoy the journey. Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Looking at the history of the church can teach us many things, but going back to God's original truth in the Bible is the only way to know exactly how He wants His church to function. Jesus gave His church a spiritual mission and we are called to fulfill that even today. Can we help you with your walk with God?
