In the second part of our study from Ephesians chapter 4, we continue considering the Apostle Paul’s picture of the Christian life as a change of apparel. That is, we should put off the old man and put on the new, replacing our former traits with the behaviors pleasing to Christ. Paul gives us a … Continue reading "A Change of Apparel, Part 2"

I haven't been very active on X lately, but when I did pop in, I saw @DineshDSouza having a go at John Calvin. So today, I gave him an opportunity to make peace with Calvin—and perhaps even the Calvinists.

In this message from Ephesians 4, we consider Paul's practical exhortation to the Christian to put off the old man and put on the new man. Using the picture of changing garments, Paul teaches us that the Christian life involves laying aside the attitudes and behaviors associated with our former way of life and being … Continue reading "A Change of Apparel, Part 1"

Send us Fan MailRomans 8:29-30 is only two verses, but it reads like a full map of salvation. We slow down and trace Paul's sequence: foreknown, predestined, called, justified, glorified. Then we make a simple observation with huge implications: every saving verb has the same subject. God. Not God plus our willpower. Not God responding to our first move. God acting with purpose and certainty from eternity past into eternity future. We also revisit what “foreknowledge” means in this passage, arguing it points to God's fore-love, an intimate love set on his people before creation. Predestination isn't treated like a cold abstraction either; it has a goal: being conformed to the image of Christ so that Jesus is the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. That pushes the conversation toward worship and assurance, because the end of the chain is tied to Christ's glory and God's faithfulness, not our ability to keep ourselves afloat. The heart of the teaching is the effectual call. We distinguish the outward call of the gospel that many people hear and reject from the inward call of the Holy Spirit that actually brings life. Using the creation pattern “let there be light,” we describe how God's call enlightens the mind, renews the will, removes hostility, and draws sinners to come freely to Christ. We also answer the “robots” objection head-on: grace doesn't violate the will, it transforms it by giving a new heart with new desires. If you care about Reformed theology, salvation by grace alone, election, and assurance, this conversation is a focused deep dive into the golden chain of salvation and why it cannot break.

In this message, we begin a study of the Apostle John, one of the “sons of thunder” who is often overshadowed by the more outspoken Apostle Peter. Yet as we follow John through the Gospel accounts, we discover a disciple whose quiet and humble character was accompanied by remarkable boldness and faithfulness. We consider the … Continue reading "The Quiet but Bold Disciple — Part 1"

Before the foundations of the world, God had a plan -- and that plan was you. This week, Pastor Jordan West walked us through Ephesians 1:3-14 and the profound truth that salvation was planned by the Father, accomplished by the Son, proclaimed by us, and secured by the Holy Spirit. You cannot earn it. You cannot lose it. And you did nothing to deserve it -- which means the glory belongs entirely to God. Whether you are wrestling with questions about God's sovereignty, your own free will, or simply wondering if you are truly saved, this message is for you. Salvation is not about your works. It is about Christ's.

Send us Fan MailIn This episode we begin looking at the Baptist Church denomination which is one of the largest and most influential protestant denominations. Today there are more than twenty Baptist denominations. We talk about when and where John Smyth or Smith first organized a Baptist Church. We note that there were two types of Baptists in the early days of the church's existence. We discuss  those different groups. We next look at the establishment of the Baptist Church in America in 1639 and where that occurred. A number of Baptist writers wrote about where the name Baptist came from as used by Baptists. We look at those writings. We next note how the Baptist Church today view confessions of faith and human creeds. We move on to talk about some doctrines, teachings and views of the Baptist Church such as divine election, predestination and eternal security. We run out of time and will have to complete this episode next week. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.

In this week's summertime rerun, Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye discuss a topic that we frequently get asked about at Church & Culture - Calvinism. There are really two dynamics behind the ministry of Church & Culture: to look at the interplay between the Church and the culture of our day, but also to examine the culture within the Church itself. And it's with the latter that today's discussion lands. We thought it worth sharing this episode from our first season with you again. Episode Links There are three helpful resources that Dr. White mentioned during the podcast, particularly when it comes to the debate over passages found in Scripture referencing election and predestination, as well as an understanding of Arminianism. They are: William Klein, The New Chosen People: A Corporate View of Election. “N. T. Wright on Predestination and Election,” watch on YouTube HERE. Roger Olson, Arminian Theology: Myths and Realities. Another topic that came up frequently in the conversation was grace. Dr. White recently delivered a series at Mecklenburg Community Church called “Christianity's Most Scandalous Idea” that focused specifically on grace as it relates to the Christian faith. You can find that series HERE. Finally, the idea of women in ministry and leadership within the church is a tension point for those who hold to Calvin's beliefs. You can listen to our recent podcast on that topic HERE. For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog and check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday. We'd also love to hear from you if there is a topic that you'd like to see discussed on the Church & Culture Podcast in an upcoming episode.

Continuing in Romans 8, Fr. Blackburn concluded this most significant chapter in the New Testament.

In this concluding message on biblical fatherhood, we consider the responsibilities God has entrusted to fathers and the privilege of reflecting our Heavenly Father’s love within the home. While the world often measures success by wealth, status, or achievement, Scripture reminds us that faithful fatherhood is one of God’s highest callings.

June 28, 2026 - Sunday PM Service   Join Cumberland Trace's monthly Q&A with Hiram and Neil as they answer submitted scripture questions from listeners. This episode walks through a wide range of biblical topics with pastoral clarity and practical application, focusing on what the Bible teaches and how it matters for Christians today. They begin with an extended look at 1 Corinthians 12–14, explaining the threefold treatment of spiritual gifts: the diversity and unity of gifts in chapter 12, the supremacy of love in chapter 13, and the priority of edification and orderly worship (prophecy over tongues) in chapter 14. The hosts explain why the miraculous gifts were limited to the first-century situation (1 Cor. 13:10; apostolic laying on of hands; Hebrews 2) and draw practical takeaways: use your God-given abilities to build the church, not to exalt yourself; worship must be decent and in order; pursue love above spectacular signs. Next they address Acts 2:38 and the “gift of the Holy Spirit,” arguing that the promise is the indwelling Spirit given to all who repent and are baptized. They cite New Testament passages (Romans 8; 1 Corinthians; Ephesians) to show the Spirit as God's seal, down payment, inner strength, and divine helper who intercedes for believers. The conversation turns to God's omniscience and human freedom: though God knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46; Psalm 139), biblical teaching affirms real moral choice. Predestination language (Eph. 1; Rom. 8) coexists with repeated calls to choose, repent, and live faithfully; God's foreknowledge is presented as comfort and assurance, not a reason for fatalism. On 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12 they unpack the “man of lawlessness,” offering both historical and broader interpretive options (first-century contexts including A.D. 70 and the long-term picture of apostasy). The key pastoral point: whether specific identifications vary, the Bible warns about delusion for those who refuse the truth, so Christians must love truth, resist easy or attractive falsehoods, and avoid obsessive end-times speculation. They tackle whether Satan can hear our thoughts and prayers with nuance: audible prayers and visible behavior can be observed by demonic forces, but only God searches and knows hearts and hidden thoughts. Satan can tempt and suggest but cannot read minds or nullify God's sovereign purposes; believers are encouraged to pray with confidence according to God's will (1 John 5; Job; 1 Cor. 2). Hard Old Testament questions are addressed—how to reconcile Proverbs' condemnation of shedding innocent blood with God's command against the Amalekites (1 Sam. 15) and the teaching of Ezekiel 18. The hosts distinguish human sin from divine, judicial acts: some biblical commands are divine judgments and “devoted” destruction in the context of covenant history; consequences can fall across generations without implying imputed eternal guilt for children. They also discuss Christology (eternal sonship): Jesus is eternally divine and co-equal with the Father, but the title “Son” functions as the messianic/relational designation applied in the incarnation. Scriptural references (John 1; Colossians 1; Hebrews 1; Galatians 4) are used to balance Jesus' eternality and the historical reality of the Son sent in the fullness of time. On parenting and spiritual accountability they explain that parents bear primary responsibility for training and spiritual oversight while children are under their roof. When children become adults they become free moral agents; parents continue to influence by example and prayer but do not remain spiritually accountable in the same way once children leave the household. Finally, the hosts consider the “angel of the Lord” in the Old Testament, noting that the phrase sometimes denotes a unique theophanic figure who speaks and acts as God (examples include the burning bush, Jacob's wrestling, and other appearances). They present the view that many such appearances function as pre-incarnate manifestations of Christ distinct from ordinary angels, while reminding listeners that Hebrews affirms that God's final and full revelation comes in the Son. Expect careful exegesis, historical perspective, and application: how the text shaped first-century practice, why certain gifts and signs were temporary, how divine sovereignty and human responsibility work together, and what believers should do—love truth, serve the church, live in order, and hold fast to Jesus. Hosts Hiram and Neil close by encouraging listeners to respond to the gospel if needed, to pursue godliness, and to continue wrestling honestly with difficult biblical questions.   Duration 51:24

What happens when God opens a door, and how should believers respond when the way forward becomes uncertain? Alan Smith examines Acts 19 through the themes of divine protection, spiritual discernment, accountability, and obedience. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan offers an opinion piece on a teaching from Acts 19 and explains why open doors are also tests of character. Paul had a significant opportunity in Ephesus, yet wise counsel kept him from entering a dangerous situation. The account shows how God can protect His people through the guidance of fellow believers. The discussion also covers:  * How to test teaching against Scripture instead of building faith on personality  * Why Charles Finney's revival preaching still matters  * How wider access to the Bible increased personal responsibility  * Progressive revelation and reading Scripture as one unified story  * Predestination, free will, and God's promise to conform believers to Christ  * The meaning of baptism in the Holy Spirit as immersion into the life of Christ  * Spiritual gifts, healing, revival, and the need for discernment  * Why influence and anointing require accountability  * How Acts 19 helps believers respond wisely to open doors Alan encourages viewers to remain teachable, search the Scriptures personally, listen to the counsel of the body of Christ, and obey the truth God has already revealed. Watch Alan Smith: Divine Protection & Open Doors, then share your thoughts in the comments. What has God entrusted to you, and how are you handling the responsibility that comes with it?

But the agreement leaves enormous questions unresolved, from the fate of Iran's enriched uranium to sanctions relief to whether the ceasefire extends to Israel's campaign in Lebanon. Is this the durable peace Trump claims, or a fragile pause papering over the hardest issues?“Model Misbehavior.” Days after Anthropic publicly released its powerful new Claude Fable 5 model, the Commerce Department imposed export controls barring any foreign national—inside or outside the U.S.—from accessing it, forcing the company to disable the model worldwide. The administration says Anthropic recklessly refused to fix a dangerous jailbreak; Anthropic says it was a narrow, non-serious vulnerability and the order is a misunderstanding. What does this episode tell us about the government's expanding use of export controls on AI—and its increasingly adversarial relationship with one of the country's leading labs?“Bad Vibrations.” In one of her final acts as Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard rescinded two Biden-era intelligence assessments that had cast doubt on whether a foreign adversary was behind “Havana Syndrome,” the mysterious ailments afflicting U.S. spies and diplomats. Gabbard's office says the prior assessments cherry-picked intelligence to support a predetermined conclusion; critics worry about a politically motivated rewrite of analytic findings on the way out the door. What should we make of this last-minute reversal, and what does it mean for the future of the Havana syndrome debate—and Gabbard's legacy as DNI?In object lessons, Tyler remains steadfast in his mission to ensure that no one ever runs out of podcasts, this week plugging A Whole Other Country, a discovery from Tribeca Festival Audio. Alan embraces peak dad-tech with his bbq upgrade—a new, after-market temperature controller. Scott savors a delightfully spicy Supreme Court dust-up in FS Credit Opportunities Corp. v.

What is predestination? Does God really elect who will be saved? How do we balance God's sovereignty with human agency? In this episode, Emma Dotter continues the discussion of Acts 13:13-52 by explaining Acts 13:48 and its theological implications. Then, she addresses the tension we feel between God's sovereignty and human agency, along with why and how we can hold both truths in tandem.  // ADDITIONAL VERSES MENTIONED: Romans 10: 9; Matthew 23: 37;  // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES:  S4:268 Acts 12-14 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-268-acts-12-14/id1600151923?i=1000735847137)  // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY? Join The Journey is a realistic daily Bible reading plan that helps followers of Jesus at Watermark Community Church and beyond enjoy abiding in Jesus together. Join The Journey Jr. is designed to help parents guide their kids in Bible reading through interactive and age-specific lessons. In 2026, we're studying the book of Acts—one passage per week. For another year, teaching on Sunday will align with each week's passage. Then, for the next six days, we'll return to the same passage with fresh focus, exploring insights about who God is and how we can enjoy him more deeply. Monday through Saturday, we'll approach the same passage from a different perspective each day—whether observation, interpretation, prayer, or another spiritual practice—to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for God's Word. Then, watch or listen to the video podcast to tackle the week's toughest verses and discover key historical, theological, and practical insights. Daily Bible lessons for adults: https://jointhejourney.com Daily Bible lessons for parents and families: https://jointhejourney.com/jr Weekly Bible podcast for kids: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...  // MORE RESOURCES FROM JOIN THE JOURNEY:  Digital Bible study resources: https://jointhejourney.com/resources Previous years' print curriculum: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Waterma...
