Send us a textSalvation has always been—and will only ever be—through faith in God's promise. This foundational truth echoes throughout Paul's letter to the Galatians as he dismantles the dangerous notion that law-keeping contributes to our justification.The timing speaks volumes: God's promise to Abraham came 430 years before the Mosaic Law. This wasn't coincidental but intentional, demonstrating that the promise always held primacy. When the law arrived, it never superseded, replaced, or complemented the promise as a means of salvation. Rather, it served a distinct purpose—revealing transgressions until the promised Seed, Jesus Christ, would arrive.Paul's declaration is unequivocal: "By the works of the law no flesh shall be justified." This absolute statement leaves no room for any formula where law-keeping aids salvation. The idea that we can bring any act of obedience to enhance God's grace fundamentally misunderstands the gospel. One violation of one law, even in thought, would require Christ's redemption—that's how significant God's holiness is against human sinfulness.What does this mean for believers today? Freedom. Not freedom to sin, but freedom to approach God with childlike faith, receiving salvation as a gift rather than earning it through religious performance. When we grasp that we contribute nothing to our salvation except to receive it, we experience the transformative power of grace that changes us from the inside out.The panel discussion illuminates how this truth radically affects our understanding of sin, redemption, and identity. Adam's one sin condemned humanity; Christ's one sacrifice redeemed it. We don't go to hell because of what we've done but because of what we are—sinners in need of a Savior who can change our very nature.Listen and discover why complicating God's simple plan of salvation through grace undermines the very gospel we claim to believe. Your understanding of faith might never be the same.Support the show

Send us a textThe profound distinction between who we are and what we do stands at the heart of understanding God's redemptive plan. This theological deep-dive examines how salvation addresses our fundamental nature, not merely our actions.Beginning with Psalm 5:4-5, we confront a challenging truth—God hates not just evil actions but evildoers themselves. This sparks a crucial revelation: people perish not simply because they sin, but because they are sinners by nature. We explore how humanity exists in a state of spiritual death rather than merely spiritual sickness, requiring divine regeneration before we can even respond to God's gift of salvation.The conversation tackles controversial questions about Christ's atonement, challenging popular notions that Jesus died for everyone without exception. If Christ truly atoned for every person's sin, why would anyone face eternal judgment? Instead, we examine how the Trinity works in perfect harmony—the Father elects, the Son redeems precisely those the Father has chosen, and the Spirit applies salvation to the same individuals.For believers struggling with sin, this episode offers profound reassurance. The very concern about losing salvation becomes evidence of genuine faith—only those truly born again would worry about their standing with God. We unpack how Christian growth doesn't mean achieving sinless perfection but progressively "sinning less" as we mature spiritually.The relationship between God's law and His promises reveals beautiful coherence in God's character. Both originate from the same divine source and work together in His redemptive plan, even as they serve different purposes.Ready to deepen your understanding of salvation and find greater assurance in your faith journey? Listen now and discover the transformative truth that in Christ, there is no condemnation—only the lifelong process of becoming more like Him.Support the show

Send us a textUnity in the Godhead stands at the core of God's redemptive plan. When we understand how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work in perfect harmony—each fulfilling their distinct role without contradiction or competition—we grasp the magnificent coherence of salvation history.The discussion begins by examining this divine unity: the Father chooses those who will be saved, the Son sheds His blood for their redemption, and the Spirit provides regeneration to the very same individuals. This perfect coordination ensures that salvation is both effective and comprehensive for its intended recipients.A fascinating exploration follows regarding the biblical use of "all"—does Scripture mean every person without exception, or all people without distinction (from every nation and background)? Through practical examples and biblical analysis, we see how context shapes understanding, and how misinterpreting this small word can lead to significant theological confusion.The concept of election emerges naturally from this conversation. While some dismiss divine election as mere "Calvinism," the discussion demonstrates how this truth appears throughout Scripture without any reference to Calvin's theological system. More importantly, we see how God's choice of Israel in the Old Testament served as a type or prototype of His election of the church—the true spiritual Israel composed of believers from every nation.Perhaps most compelling is the examination of Christ's presence throughout the entire biblical narrative. From Genesis to Revelation, Jesus is the thread that holds Scripture together. The Old Testament consistently pointed toward Him through types, shadows, and promises that find their fulfillment in His person and work. As one participant notes, "every true believer should be able to preach the gospel even without the New Testament" because Christ appears on every page of Scripture.The relationship between law and promise reveals another layer of God's consistent plan. Rather than contradicting God's promises, the law served multiple purposes: marking out a people through whom Christ would come, revealing sin, and functioning as a guardian until faith would be fully revealed in Christ. The gospel hasn't changed—it has always been salvation by faith in the promised Seed.Join us as we continue unpacking these profound biblical truths that showcase the beautiful consistency of God's redemptive plan throughout history.Support the show

Send us a textWhat happens when we mistake the signpost for the destination? This riveting conversation dives deep into Paul's teaching on the true purpose of the Mosaic Law – not as our means of salvation, but as our tutor leading us to Christ.The discussion unpacks how the entire Old Testament system was meticulously designed to help God's people recognize the Messiah when He arrived. The animal sacrifices, temple rituals, priestly garments – all served as educational tools preparing Israel for Jesus. When He finally came, those familiar with the Law should have immediately recognized Him as the fulfillment of everything they had studied.This understanding frames a powerful critique of modern dispensationalism, which anticipates rebuilding the temple and reinstating sacrifices. As the speakers note, such thinking fundamentally misunderstands God's redemptive timeline. Why reinstitute a system designed to point to Christ when Christ has already come? The law served as our guardian until faith arrived, but now that faith has come, we're no longer under a guardian.Perhaps most thought-provoking is the exploration of how everything in Scripture centers on Christ's glory. The conversation challenges our celebrity-obsessed culture, suggesting that our fascination with human fame often trespasses on territory that rightfully belongs to Jesus alone. His fame deserves our complete attention.The dialogue concludes with a beautiful reminder that while the law couldn't nullify God's original covenant promise, the fulfillment of that promise in Christ effectively ended the law's governing role for believers. We now live by faith rather than legal observance, fully justified as children of God through Christ alone.Listen as these passionate believers wrestle with profound questions about how we relate to Scripture, where we direct our worship, and what it truly means to live under grace rather than law.Support the show

He's asked me to be in his new charity show – and can I do The Schoolmaster?”Er, yes.I'd written The Schoolmaster for Rowan the previous year, for a revue at the Hampstead Theatre (Rowan with Elspeth Walker and Peter Wilson). John and his co-producer, Martin Lewis, had seen it; and a year later, Rowan and I were backstage at Her Majesty's Theatre, meeting John and other members of the cast of The Secret Policeman's Ball.Rowan went on stage an unknown, with his gown and clipboard and pen, and came off a star. The Schoolmaster became his signature piece, the encore of his live shows. Eventually, he got tired of doing the same old routine and wrote another (ruder) version, generously giving me half the royalties.By that time, I'd cut my teeth on various TV shows, from HTV (Wales) to ITV (Southern and Central) to the BBC. I'd also written some stage shows (reviews, original plays, and adaptations of Goldoni comedies), and done a lot of freelance script editing. In 1992, I was hired by Columbia Picture Television to work with Blake Hunter and Marty Cohan, the creators of Who's the Boss?. My wife and I moved with our young daughter to her parents (converted) garage and we've lived in Los Angeles since.I've written a number of libretti for operas, almost all for the LA Opera – some original pieces, some translations from German or Italian. My writing partner, the composer, Lee Holdridge, was – in a way – once G.R.R. Martin's ‘writing partner' in that he composed the scores for the TV series Beauty and the Beast, for which Martin was a script writer.I'd been a hard-core RPG gamer for years when the idea for these books just fell out of the sky one morning, and I started writing. I have hardly had a moment to log on to any game — I'm too busy exploring the New Rock stories as they unfold.My publisher, Caezik SF & Fantasy, is a company of enthusiasts who love these genres.

In this extended extract from their series 'Conversations in Philosophy', part of the LRB's Close Readings podcast, Jonathan Rée and James Wood look at one of Friedrich Nietzsche's early essays, 'Schopenhauer as Educator'. For Nietzsche, Schopenhauer's genius lay not in his ideas but in his heroic indifference, a thinker whose value to the world is as a liberator rather than a teacher, who shows us what philosophy is really for: to forget what we already know. ‘Schopenhauer as Educator' was written in 1874, when Nietzsche was 30, and was published in a collection with three other essays – on Wagner, David Strauss and the use of history – that has come to be titled Untimely Meditations. Jonathan and James consider the essays together and their powerful attack on the ethos of the age, railing against the greed and power of the state, fake art, overweening science, the triviality of universities and the deification of success.James Wood is a contributor to the LRB and staff writer at The New Yorker, whose books include The Broken Estate, How Fiction Works and a novel, Upstate.Jonathan Rée is a writer, philosopher and regular contributor to the LRB whose books include Witcraft and A Schoolmaster's War.To listen to the rest of this episode and all our other Close Readings series, sign up;In Apple Podcasts: https://lrb.me/nietzscheapplecrIn other podcast apps: https://lrb.me/nietzschesccr Hosted on Acast.

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Fourth Week of Lent Lectionary: 248The Saint of the day is Saint Isidore of SevilleSaint Isidore of Seville's Story The 76 years of Isidore's life were a time of conflict and growth for the Church in Spain. The Visigoths had invaded the land a century and a half earlier, and shortly before Isidore's birth they set up their own capital. They were Arians—Christians who said Christ was not God. Thus, Spain was split in two: One people (Catholic Romans) struggled with another (Arian Goths). Isidore reunited Spain, making it a center of culture and learning. The country served as a teacher and guide for other European countries whose culture was also threatened by barbarian invaders. Born in Cartagena of a family that included three other sibling saints—Leander, Fulgentius and Florentina—he was educated by his elder brother, whom he succeeded as bishop of Seville. An amazingly learned man, he was sometimes called “The Schoolmaster of the Middle Ages” because the encyclopedia he wrote was used as a textbook for nine centuries. He required seminaries to be built in every diocese, wrote a Rule for religious orders, and founded schools that taught every branch of learning. Isidore wrote numerous books, including a dictionary, an encyclopedia, a history of Goths, and a history of the world—beginning with creation! He completed the Mozarabic liturgy, which is still in use in Toledo, Spain. For all these reasons, Isidore has been suggested as patron of the Internet. Several others—including Anthony of Padua—also have been suggested. He continued his austerities even as he approached age 80. During the last six months of his life, he increased his charities so much that his house was crowded from morning till night with the poor of the countryside. Reflection Our society can well use Isidore's spirit of combining learning and holiness. Loving, understanding and knowledge can heal and bring a broken people back together. We are not barbarians like the invaders of Isidore's Spain. But people who are swamped by riches and overwhelmed by scientific and technological advances can lose much of their understanding love for one another.

Leviticus chapter 9 tells of Aaron officiating at the altar on the eighth day. Verses 1-2 Aaron offered for himself the sin offering and the burnt offering. Verses 3-22 Aaron offers for the people the sin offering, burnt offering and peace offering. Verses 23-24 the glory of Yahweh appears and He consumes His portion of the offerings. Chapter 10 outlines the disruption of the ceremony through the sin of Nadab and Abihu. Verses 1-7 Nadab and Abihu, evidently under the influence of strong drink, offer strange fire and are struck dead. Verses 8-11 Aaron warned against the influence of strong drink. Verses 12-20 Moses attempts to complete the ceremony by instructing the priests to eat the people's portion of the offerings: a) the remainder of the peace offering)verses 12-13; cp. Leviticus 9:4, 17); b) the remainder of the peace offering (verses 14-15; cp. Leviticus 9:21); c) the remainder of the sin offering (Verses 16-20; cp. Leviticus 9:15). The above breakdown has been copied from brother John Martin's book, “The Schoolmaster – an exposition of the Book of Leviticus”. Psalm 108 is a song of David's in which he expresses thanks for past deliverance and expresses his confidence in Yahweh's continued help. In verses 1-4 David describes his unshakable conviction in God's stedfast love and the awesome deeds God has done for His people. Therefore the Psalmist will compose songs of praise to his Sovereign. Songs that will be acknowledged by all nations who have beheld the mighty power of the God of Israel. The LORD has promised deliverance to His faithful saints. Verses 7-10 recounts successful battle campaigns. Verses 11-13 are a plea for help against the Edomites having suffered earlier setbacks. The writer's confidence will stay firm. Psalm 109 is a Psalm of David. It is in first application calling for the LORD to execute retribution against David's treacherous counsellor, Ahithophel. But the Psalm is Messianic and principally applies prophetically to our Lord Jesus Christ and his betrayer, Judas Iscariot. Of this we can certain since the Apostle Peter speaks of Judas, when quoting this Psalm in Acts 1:16-20. It is verse 8 of the Psalm which was quoted. Why were such judgements called upon Judas? Because he failed to show pity to “the poor and needy man” (verses 16 and 22). The extortion era mentioned in this song were the priests of Israel, who paid Judas 30 pieces of silver for his part in the betrayal. The Psalm reveals much about the base character of Judas of which the gospels are silent. But the treachery of Judas was to no avail for Yahweh's care and love encompassed His Anointed; and delivered him. 2 Corinthians is often called Paul's great letter of comfort. Chapter 1 tells us that one purpose of suffering is to render the sufferer a reservoir of compassion and comfort for others. The Apostle described his rock as the One who raised the dead (compare 1 Corinthians 15:32 – details can only be conjecture). The coming of Timothy with the news he carried about the response of the believers at Corinth was a tonic that revived his spirit. Chapter 2 provided further advice for what to do next if the wrongdoer was to be fully recovered. The chapter tells us that in Troas he pondered his blessings in our Lord Jesus Christ. His imagery is drawn from the practices which accompanied the Roman Triumphal procession. His ironic language contrasts the Apostles' sufferings for proclaiming the Gospel's message with the indifferent and lavish lifestyle of the Corinthian believers. Paul concludes the chapter by a declaration that it is God who he seeks to please and not fickle people driven by their own motives.

Leviticus 5verses 1-6,7 and 7 verses 1-7 deal with the trespass offering. This offering was required for those who had dealt with the holy things deceitfully – whether to God, or to one's neighbour. The offering is referred to in several translations as the “guilt offering”. Complete restitution had to made and a penalty was added because of the deception involved. A ram was the required offering. Achan's sin, spoken of in Joshua 7, was a trespass involving the nation of Israel. There were 7 categories of trespass against the LORD (see brother John Martin's book page 32); and there were 5 manner of sinning through trespassing against one's neighbour (ibid page 33). Leviticus 6:9-13 introduces the Burnt Offering, which spoke of wholehearted service to Yahweh. Additional details are provided in Leviticus 7verse 8. The Peace Offering is described in Leviticus 3 verses1-17, 7 verses 11-21, 28-34 and 22 verses 17-31). Some aspects for each of these offerings have been included in earlier posts. However, I can only give general comments here; and the readers can further their understanding by reading brother Martin's book (“The Schoolmaster' to bring us unto Christ. An exposition of the book of Leviticus”). Psalm 105 relates the mighty works of our Sovereign. In verses 1-6 the faithful are called on to praise and give thanks to the LORD in response for what He has done for them. The writer's words are directed to Israel – the offspring of Abraham. Verses 7-8 reflects on the mighty name their God had gained when bringing His people out of Egypt. In verse 8 the psalmist contemplates the loving kindness of God to a thousand generations spoken of to Moses at the declaration of Yahweh's character in Exodus 34. In verses 9-11 the Psalmist's thoughts go to the promises that the Almighty made to the patriarch Abraham. Verses 12-15 cover the sojourn of Abraham's family until the time of Israel's sojourning in Egypt. Abraham and Sarah are described as both anointed ones and prophets. The incidents referred to cover Abraham's first visit to Egypt and his dealings with the Philistines under king Abimelech. Verses 16-22 deal with the faithful Joseph sent to Egypt to preserve the patriarchy of Abraham. The verses show us how Joseph was a remarkable type of our Lord Jesus Christ. Verses 23-25 tell of Israel coming into Egypt; and are a summary of the last chapters of Genesis and the first couple from Exodus. Verses 26-36 describe the mission of Moses and the plagues sent on Egypt. Verses 37-43 describe Israel's deliverance from Egypt and Yahweh's awesome deeds on behalf of His people; and His providential care for His nation during their 40 years in the wilderness. Verse 44 speaks of Israel's inheritance of the Promised Land, in fulfilment of the LORD's promise to Abraham. The Psalm concludes with their Sovereign's objective in giving Israel the Land – “that they might keep His statutes and observe His laws. Hallelujah.” (ESV). Yahweh will give the glorious kingdom to His faithful saints, that they may serve Him and subject the whole world to His ways. Pause and ponder what that means for you. In the first of Corinthians 14 the Apostle Paul urged the pursuit of love, rather than seeking the showy and much abused spiritual gifts. Ordered worship among believers is essential. His conclusions were – let everything be done decently and in order. In the first of Corinthians 14 the Apostle Paul urged the pursuit of love, rather than seeking the showy and much abused spiritual gifts. Ordered worship among believers is essential. His conclusion was – let everything be done decently and in order. Having established in chapter 13 that love is the greatest gift of all the Apostle encourages a wholehearted pursuit of love in the beginning of this chapter. Paul continues to compare its benefits to the spirit gifts of the Apostolic age and says that the ability to instruct in the Word of God is far greater than speaking in tongues – Greek ‘glossa' which speaks of languages according to Strong's Concordance – not unknown tongues. For instruction in the Word is an exercise of growing in holiness: Hebrews 12 verses 11; Ephesians 4 verses 11-16. In verses 6-12 Paul tells his readers that just as music has chords with a distinct resonance so too must God's Word have a clear and distinctive discernible message. The same is true of the clarion blast of the bugle that calls people to war. Verses 13-19 repeats the message that hearers must understand the prayers that are said. There is no benefit in a prayer of words that lack meaning for the hearers. So the Apostle requests that prayer be for the edifying of the hearers and not simply that the one who prays is ecstatic and feels uplifted. In verses 20-25 Paul cites the prophets to show that the Father says that this is His objective in enlightening men and women. Verses 26-33 give instructions for orderly worship in ecclesial gatherings. He says that when the prophet speaks it is useless unless the interpreter can give understanding to the gathering. He also speaks against competing with one another and that the members must wait until their turn comes rather than rudely interrupting and trying to talk over one another. The time for silence is appropriate and according to our Father's revealed Word. For that matter the Apostle declares that sisters remain silent in formal ecclesial gatherings. This truth is repeated in 1 Timothy 2 verses11-15. Verses 36-39 tell us that such observance of the divine order is a reflection of spiritual mindedness as opposed to carnal self seeking.

EPISODE 363 - Richard Sparks - Rowan Atkinson, Operas and a New Rock, New Role - Words MatterRichard SparksOne morning in 1979 I got a call from an understandably excited Rowan Atkinson.“John Cleese just called. He's asked me to be in his new charity show – and can I do The Schoolmaster?”Er, yes.I'd written The Schoolmaster for Rowan the previous year, for a revue at the Hampstead Theatre (Rowan with Elspeth Walker and Peter Wilson). John and his co-producer, Martin Lewis, had seen it; and a year later, Rowan and I were backstage at Her Majesty's Theatre, meeting John and other members of the cast of The Secret Policeman's Ball.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiWJWLCoH2MRowan went on stage an unknown, with his gown and clipboard and pen, and came off a star. The Schoolmaster became his signature piece, the encore of his live shows. Eventually, he got tired of doing the same old routine and wrote another (ruder) version, generously giving me half the royalties. By that time, I'd cut my teeth on various TV shows, from HTV (Wales) to ITV (Southern and Central) to the BBC. I'd also written some stage shows (reviews, original plays, and adaptations of Goldoni comedies), and done a lot of freelance script editing. In 1992, I was hired by Columbia Picture Television to work with Blake Hunter and Marty Cohan, the creators of Who's the Boss?. My wife and I moved with our young daughter to her parents (converted) garage and we've lived in Los Angeles since.I've written a number of libretti for operas, almost all for the LA Opera – some original pieces, some translations from German or Italian. My writing partner, the composer, Lee Holdridge, was – in a way – once G.R.R. Martin's ‘writing partner' in that he composed the scores for the TV series Beauty and the Beast, for which Martin was a script writer.I'd been a hard-core RPG gamer for years when the idea for these books just fell out of the sky one morning, and I started writing. I have hardly had a moment to log on to any game — I'm too busy exploring the New Rock stories as they unfold.My publisher, Caezik SF & Fantasy, is a company of enthusiasts who love these genres. I am delighted to join their family of authors, and to be working with their executive editor, Lezli, Robyn.Three sequels – New Rock New Realm, New Rock New Rules, and New Rock New Roads, have been completed and will be published in due course. I'm currently working on the fifth book.https://richardsparks.com/___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Support the Show.https://livingthenextchapter.com/Want to support the show and get bonus content?https://www.buzzsprout.com/1927756/subscribe

Full Text of ReadingsThursday in the Octave of Easter Lectionary: 264The Saint of the day is Saint Isidore of SevilleSaint Isidore of Seville's Story The 76 years of Isidore's life were a time of conflict and growth for the Church in Spain. The Visigoths had invaded the land a century and a half earlier, and shortly before Isidore's birth they set up their own capital. They were Arians—Christians who said Christ was not God. Thus, Spain was split in two: One people (Catholic Romans) struggled with another (Arian Goths). Isidore reunited Spain, making it a center of culture and learning. The country served as a teacher and guide for other European countries whose culture was also threatened by barbarian invaders. Born in Cartagena of a family that included three other sibling saints—Leander, Fulgentius and Florentina—he was educated by his elder brother, whom he succeeded as bishop of Seville. An amazingly learned man, he was sometimes called “The Schoolmaster of the Middle Ages” because the encyclopedia he wrote was used as a textbook for nine centuries. He required seminaries to be built in every diocese, wrote a Rule for religious orders, and founded schools that taught every branch of learning. Isidore wrote numerous books, including a dictionary, an encyclopedia, a history of Goths, and a history of the world—beginning with creation! He completed the Mozarabic liturgy, which is still in use in Toledo, Spain. For all these reasons, Isidore has been suggested as patron of the Internet. Several others—including Anthony of Padua—also have been suggested. He continued his austerities even as he approached age 80. During the last six months of his life, he increased his charities so much that his house was crowded from morning till night with the poor of the countryside. Reflection Our society can well use Isidore's spirit of combining learning and holiness. Loving, understanding and knowledge can heal and bring a broken people back together. We are not barbarians like the invaders of Isidore's Spain. But people who are swamped by riches and overwhelmed by scientific and technological advances can lose much of their understanding love for one another.

Is it possible to use the Word of God to teach every subject in school? Even most Christian homeschool curriculum programs say “no.” Kraig and Anne Elliott explain why they decided to take a leap of faith and develop their own way to teach school using the Bible as a master textbook.

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of Holy Week Lectionary: 258The Saint of the day is Saint Isidore of SevilleSaint Isidore of Seville's Story The 76 years of Isidore's life were a time of conflict and growth for the Church in Spain. The Visigoths had invaded the land a century and a half earlier, and shortly before Isidore's birth they set up their own capital. They were Arians—Christians who said Christ was not God. Thus, Spain was split in two: One people (Catholic Romans) struggled with another (Arian Goths). Isidore reunited Spain, making it a center of culture and learning. The country served as a teacher and guide for other European countries whose culture was also threatened by barbarian invaders. Born in Cartagena of a family that included three other sibling saints—Leander, Fulgentius and Florentina—he was educated by his elder brother, whom he succeeded as bishop of Seville. An amazingly learned man, he was sometimes called “The Schoolmaster of the Middle Ages” because the encyclopedia he wrote was used as a textbook for nine centuries. He required seminaries to be built in every diocese, wrote a Rule for religious orders, and founded schools that taught every branch of learning. Isidore wrote numerous books, including a dictionary, an encyclopedia, a history of Goths, and a history of the world—beginning with creation! He completed the Mozarabic liturgy, which is still in use in Toledo, Spain. For all these reasons, Isidore has been suggested as patron of the Internet. Several others—including Anthony of Padua—also have been suggested. He continued his austerities even as he approached age 80. During the last six months of his life, he increased his charities so much that his house was crowded from morning till night with the poor of the countryside. Reflection Our society can well use Isidore's spirit of combining learning and holiness. Loving, understanding and knowledge can heal and bring a broken people back together. We are not barbarians like the invaders of Isidore's Spain. But people who are swamped by riches and overwhelmed by scientific and technological advances can lose much of their understanding love for one another.
