Romans 8:3-4 — Why is it important that Christ was truly a man? In this sermon on Romans 8:3–4 titled “Jesus: Our Sinless Saviour,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones answers this vital theological question and explains how it changes lives. If Christ was not truly a man, how could He die in the place of humans? If Christ was not a man tempted like all humans, how could He relate to their weaknesses? This is why Christ had to come as a true man, and yet He was totally without sin. He had to be born as a man, live as a man, and die as a man in order to be a perfect Savior. The glory of salvation is that God becomes human and dies in humanity's place upon the cross. This message of good news commands all to believe in Christ alone for forgiveness of sin as there is no salvation apart from Jesus Christ. This leaves everyone to ask if they believe that Jesus died for them and are they trusting in the what God has done in His Son upon the cross. This question is not one of intellectual speculation, but has eternal significance for all of humanity. In this sermon the listener will hear the greatest truth that the world has ever seen in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

“Can Mary be sinless if all have sinned?” This question opens a discussion on Marian dogmas and their biblical foundations, alongside inquiries about the Catholic Church’s stance on divorce and communion, and the journey from Orthodoxy to Catholicism. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 5:40 – The Catholic Church teaches that the reason why we stand in a right relationship with God—that's to say, the reason we're justified—is because of the interior righteousness that is brought about within us when we're initially justified. But if that's the case, then the focus would move away from the perfection of the work of Christ to the believer who has to maintain the state or condition, thereby dividing the glory between the savior and the saved. 7:11 – I have trouble with Marian dogmas because I believe they contradict the bible. The Assumption of Mary is never mentioned in scripture. How can Mary be sinless if the bible says that all have sinned and have fallen short. 18:04 – I'm Protestant interested in Catholicism. My Methodist church has fallen away from biblical teachings. Why aren’t divorced people allowed in the Church but people who advocate for abortion allowed to receive communion? 18:15 – I'm going to leave Orthodoxy for either High Church Anglican or Catholicism. What advice do you have for me? 28:40 – I've studied Catholicism as a Protestant for years now. Does the Holy Spirit leave you when you commit a mortal sin and get the Holy Spirit back when you repent? 30:54 – What’s the true faith and how can you know it’s true? 40:32 – I grew up protestant and was taught that worshipping idols is wrong. Praying to the dead seems wrong. 40:35 – I wasn't raised with religion forced upon me. What is Protestantism?

A thunderous voice cries out from the Judean wilderness, calling an entire nation to turn back to God. John the Baptizer, the last of the rugged Old Testament prophets, confronts the corrupt religious leaders and urges repentance. Jesus appears and, despite being our sinless Savior, wades into a pool of our sins and submits to John's baptism to fulfill all righteousness. Join us as we witness the incredible moment when the heavens open and the Holy Trinity is revealed at the Jordan River.  The Rev. Matthew Kusch, pastor of King of Glory Lutheran Church in Elgin, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 3.  To learn more about King of Glory, visit kogelgin.org. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears, and Ben Johnson, looked like a playoff caliber team last week against the Cowboys.  After allowing 14 points the defense decided that was enough and helped the offense stay on the field by putting up 31 points at home.  After a rocky start the offense looked like many had hoped they would.  Now with the momentum they have they head to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders.  Everyone is anxious to see if this was a one-off game, or if this is what the new Chicago Bears will be looking like in the future.

The Hidden Code That Transforms Sin Into LiberationWhat if I told you that the difference between sinful and virtuous action has nothing to do with the action itself? Mind-blowing, right? Today, we're cracking open one of spirituality's most practical secrets – the formula for sinless action hidden in Bhagavad Gita verse 2.38.In This Episode, You'll Discover:• The exact mental formula that prevents actions from creating negative karma• Why the same action can either bind you or free you (with real examples)• The three pairs of opposites you must master for sinless action• How emotional attachment creates sin, not the action itself• Practical techniques to purify any action before you take it• The difference between avoiding action and transforming actionLet me paint you a picture: Arjuna, legendary warrior, stands paralyzed on the battlefield. His fear? Not death, but sin. "How can I fight my own family? Surely this action will damn me!" Sound familiar? Maybe you've felt this way about a difficult decision – damned if you do, damned if you don't.Krishna's response flips everything on its head. He reveals that what makes action sinful according to Gita isn't the action itself but the mental state behind it. As verse 2.38 states: "Fight for the sake of duty, treating alike pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat. Fulfilling your responsibility in this way, you will never incur sin."Here's the game-changer: Sin comes from acting with a disturbed, attached mind. When you chase pleasure or flee pain, when you grasp for gain or fear loss, when you crave victory or dread defeat – that's when actions create bondage. But perform the exact same action with a balanced mind? It becomes dharmic action, creating no karmic residue.I love how the text uses the metaphor of an actor. A skilled actor plays both hero and villain with full commitment, yet never confuses themselves with the role. Similarly, we can engage fully in life's drama while maintaining inner freedom. This is the essence of action without karma.The practical magic happens when you apply this before any major decision. Instead of agonizing over outcomes, you consciously balance your mind first. You ask: "Am I acting from desire or duty? From disturbance or stability?" This simple shift transforms potentially binding actions into liberating ones.Modern psychology confirms what yogis knew millennia ago – that the space between stimulus and response contains our freedom. The formula for sinless action teaches us to expand that space, to choose our response from wisdom rather than reactivity.Here's my challenge for you: Before your next difficult action, pause. Balance your mind regarding the possible outcomes. Then act from that place of equilibrium. Watch how the quality of your action transforms.Remember, you don't need to fear action when you understand this formula. Every moment becomes an opportunity to practice sinless action, to engage fully while remaining free.krsnadaasa (Servant of Krishna)https://pragmaticgita.com

The sermon emphasizes discerning genuine faith through observable actions, asserting that consistent negativity and fault-finding, regardless of claims, indicate a lack of spiritual fruit and potential corruption. Drawing from 1 John and Matthew, it cautions against judging motives while encouraging discernment based on behavior, highlighting the importance of aligning actions with God's will and rejecting worldly influences. Ultimately, it calls listeners to examine their lives, repent of sin, and seek a relationship with Christ characterized by righteousness and the conviction of the Holy Spirit, lest they face eternal consequences.

Pastor Natalie reminds us that Jesus, our great High Priest, fully understands our weaknesses, was tempted yet without sin, and invites us to approach God's throne with confidence to receive mercy and grace. She points to Jesus' honest, surrendered prayers as our model in seasons of pain.

The sermon explores the ongoing battle within believers between their old and new natures, emphasizing that while Christians still experience temptation stemming from the flesh and the world, their new nature, born of God's incorruptible seed, cannot ultimately sin. It cautions against a license to sin, clarifying that true liberty lies not in fulfilling fleshly desires but in abiding in Christ and pursuing righteousness, mirroring the example of Jesus who consistently countered temptation with scripture. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to arm themselves with God's word, recognizing that outward actions and fruit reveal the true nature of a believer, and to strive for a life lived in the Spirit rather than succumbing to the desires of the flesh.

How did God preserve His Word through centuries? Why did Satan tempt a sinless Jesus? Join Jim Scudder on InGrace as he uncovers the miracle of the Dead Sea Scrolls and answers questions about Jesus' temptation and the Ark's place in history.

The sermon explores the paradoxical nature of believers, acknowledging their inherent struggle with sin while affirming their identity as children of God. Drawing from passages in 1 John, Romans, and other Scriptures, it examines the tension between the old and new natures within each Christian, recognizing the persistent desire of the sin nature while emphasizing the transformative power of the Holy Spirit and God's Word. Ultimately, the message clarifies that while believers are capable of sinning, they are not destined for habitual sin, and that ongoing spiritual growth and obedience to God's law are essential for experiencing the fullness of their new life in Christ.

The sermon explores the nuanced relationship between sin, grace, and the Christian life, challenging the notion of sinless perfection while affirming God's unwavering faithfulness. Drawing from 1 John 3, the message clarifies that while believers are born of God and do not practice habitual sin, they remain susceptible to occasional transgression, emphasizing the necessity of confession and reliance on Christ's advocacy. The preacher underscores the importance of comparing Scripture with Scripture, guided by the Holy Spirit, to avoid contradictions and highlights the value of listener engagement through written responses and sharing the broadcast, as these actions shape the ministry's reach and impact.

Send us a textThe question reverberates through Christian history: Why would a sinless Savior need baptism? Mitchell tackles this profound theological mystery with clarity and depth in this illuminating episode of the Pure Faith Podcast.Diving into the baptism of Jesus recorded in Matthew 3:13-17, Mitchell unpacks three compelling reasons behind this pivotal moment. First, it marked the official launch of Jesus's public ministry at age 30, when Jewish tradition allowed him to formally take on disciples as a rabbi. While Jesus had been discussing Scripture since childhood (as seen during his temple visit at age 12), this moment represented his official step into public teaching.Second, this sacred moment created the divine stage for the Holy Spirit's descent and God's thunderous proclamation: "This is my Son, with whom I am well pleased." This heavenly endorsement announced Jesus's identity to all present—and perhaps even alerted dark forces to the Messiah's arrival, though they couldn't comprehend how his eventual death would fulfill God's redemptive plan.Most poignantly, Jesus's baptism demonstrated his willingness to identify with sinners despite his own sinlessness. This wasn't about elevating humanity to his level but about Jesus descending to ours—the first step in his journey toward taking on our sin at Calvary. Mitchell brilliantly connects this to baptism's consistent biblical meaning of death, burial, and resurrection, tracing this pattern through Noah's flood, the Red Sea crossing, and the Jordan River.Mitchell closes with powerful personal insights, sharing his own adult baptism story despite being baptized as an infant, and urging believers not to delay baptism until they've "cleaned up their lives." The message resonates with both new and seasoned believers: just as Jesus began his ministry with baptism, so should we begin our faith journey—not after achieving perfection, but precisely because we need the transformative power baptism represents.Support the showSupport our ministryCheck us out at purefaithliving.comContact us at purefaithliving.com/contactFollow us on twitter @purefaithlivingFollow us on Facebook at Pure Faith Podcast

What does it mean that no one seeks after God? Do we search for answers? Is that seeking God? What is a 'work' and do we 'work' for salvation? How do you receive a gift? Calvinism? Wretched man, chief of sinners, loved by God. All this and more on this week's episode. Enjoy!

Impeccable by William Swan Plumer is a pastoral work written to encourage believers unsettled by rising theological error in post-Civil War America. Plumer defends the biblical truth that Christ, as the incarnate Son of God, was not only sinless but incapable of sinning. This doctrine affirms the absolute sufficiency of Christ's obedience and the unshakable certainty of our salvation. In a time when Christological confusion persists, Plumer's clarity remains deeply relevant for the Church today.

     By promoting the gospel and biblical teaching, the church disrupts Satan's domain of darkness by calling out of it a people for God. By learning God's Word, Christians can identify worldly conversations and activities and either avoid them or seek to redirect them by interjecting biblical truth, which should never be done in hostility. When sharing God's Word with others it's proper to know that not everyone wants to hear God's truth, and even though we may not agree with them, their personal choices should be respected (Matt 10:14; Acts 13:50-51). We should never try to force the gospel or Bible teaching on anyone, but be willing to share when opportunity presents itself. At times this will bring peace, and other times cause disruption and may even offend. In this interaction, the growing Christian must be careful not to fall into the exclusion trap, in which the worldly person (whether saved or lost) controls the content of every conversation, demanding the Christian only talk about worldly issues, as Scripture threatens his pagan presuppositions. Having the biblical worldview, the Christian should insert himself into daily conversations with others, and in so doing, be a light in a dark place. He should always be respectful, conversational, and never have a fist-in-your-face attitude, as arrogance never helps advance biblical truth (2 Tim 2:24-26). The worldly-minded person may not want to hear what the Christian has to say, but he should never be under the false impression that he has the right to quiet the Christian and thereby exclude him from the conversation.      As we grow spiritually and walk with God, learning and living His Word (2 Tim 2:15; 3:16-17), we stand in opposition to Satan's world-system and sow the seeds of spiritual insurrection in the lives of those who live and walk in his kingdom of darkness. We disrupt Satan's kingdom when we share the gospel, “that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Cor 15:3-4). When anyone places their faith in Christ, trusting solely in Him as Savior, they are forgiven all their sins (Acts 10:43; Eph 1:7), gifted with eternal life (John 3:16; 10:28), and the righteousness of God (Rom 4:1-5; 5:17; 2 Cor 5:21; Phil 3:9). They are rescued from Satan's enslaving power, as God liberates them from the “domain of darkness” and transfers them into “the kingdom of His beloved Son” (Col 1:13). The gospel is the only way a person can be delivered from spiritual slavery; “for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (Rom 1:16). Once saved, we seek to influence the thoughts and lives of other Christians through fellowship (Heb 10:23-25), prayer (Jam 5:16), edification (Eph 4:29), encouragement (1 Th 5:11), love (1 Th 4:9; cf. Eph 4:14-15), and words of grace (Col 4:6). The Sin Nature Within Us      If the devil were a broadcaster sending out his signal through the world, the sin nature in every person is that internal receiver that is always tuned to welcome his message. The sin nature, sometimes called “the flesh” (Gal 5:17, 19) or “old self” (Rom 6:6; Col 3:9), has a natural affinity for Satan's values and his world-system. More so, the sin nature is not eradicated from the believer during his time on earth, nor is it ever reformed, as though it can be made to love God.       Everyone knows what it's like to walk in the flesh, according to the sin nature, but only the Christian knows what it's like to walk in the Spirit, assuming he's growing in his walk with the Lord. Paul wrote, “For the flesh [sin nature] sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you [the Christian] may not do the things that you please”  (Gal 5:17). Concerning Galatians 5:17, MacDonald writes: "The Spirit and the flesh are in constant conflict. God could have removed the fleshly nature from believers at the time of their conversion, but He did not choose to do so. Why? He wanted to keep them continually reminded of their own weakness; to keep them continually dependent on Christ, their Priest and Advocate; and to cause them to praise unceasingly the One who saved such worms. Instead of removing the old nature, God gave us His own Holy Spirit to indwell us. God's Spirit and our flesh are perpetually at war, and will continue to be at war until we are taken home to heaven. The believer's part in the conflict is to yield to the Spirit."[1]      The sin nature is resident in every person; both saved and unsaved, and is the source of internal temptation. According to Wiersbe, “The flesh refers to that fallen nature that we were born with, that wants to control the body and the mind and make us disobey God.”[2] Since the fall of Adam, every person is born with a sin nature, and it is this nature that internally motivates men to rebel against all legitimate forms of authority, both human and divine. At the moment of salvation, God the Holy Spirit indwells us and gives us a new nature that, for the first time in our lives, has the capacity and desire to obey God. Because the sin nature is not removed from the believer after salvation, the believer begins to experience conflict within (Gal 5:17; Rom 7:14-23). Chafer states, “The presence of two opposing natures (not two personalities) in one individual results in conflict.”[3] Wiersbe adds: "The old nature (which has its origin in our physical birth) fights against the new nature which we receive when we are born again (Gal 5:16–26). No amount of self-discipline, no set of man-made rules and regulations, can control this old nature. Only the Holy Spirit of God can enable us to “put to death” the old nature (Rom 8:12–13) and produce the Spirit's fruit (Gal 5:22–23) in us through the new nature."[4] Lightner states: "Torn inside with desires to do that which we know is evil and new desires to please God, we experience the rage of the battle. The internal conflict manifests itself in everyday life as the believer is tempted to sin. The source of this conflict is the old sin nature, which is the root cause of the deeds of sin. In the conflict the believer is not passive. He has a vital role in determining to whom he will give allegiance—the old nature or the new nature. From the moment a sinner trusts Christ, there is a conflict in his very being between the powers of darkness and those of light. The one who has become a member of the family of God now faces conflicts and problems that he did not have before."[5]      As Christians, we are directed to “lay aside the old self…and put on the new self which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth” (Eph 4:22, 24). Since we have been “born again” and given new life (1 Pet 1:3, 23), the sin nature no longer has domineering power over us, and we can choose a life of righteousness (Rom 6:5-13). As we grow spiritually, we will be transformed from the inside out and gradually become more and more righteous as we walk with God. Sinless perfection will not be attained until we leave this world, by death or by Rapture, and are “conformed to the image of His Son” (Rom 8:29), who will “transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory” (Phil 3:21). Until then, we are commanded to “put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts” (Rom 13:14). We do this by choosing to live according to the Spirit's guiding, and starving the monster that is our sin nature. To “make no provision for the flesh” means we stop exposing ourselves to the things of the world that excite the flesh and lead to sinful behavior. The positive action is to grow spiritually with biblical teaching (2 Tim 2:15; 3:16-17; 1 Pet 2:2; 2 Pet 3:18), Christian fellowship (Heb 10:23-25), selfless living (Phil 2:3-4), prayer (1 Th 5:17), worship (Heb 13:15), and doing good (Gal 6:10; Heb 13:16). It is only by spiritual growth and drawing closer to God that we learn to glorify the Lord and live in righteousness.      Though the Christian will struggle all his life with his two natures, he also knows the victory is already won. The sin nature has been defeated and its strength diminished because of the believer's union with Christ (Rom 6:6, 11). At his resurrection, the Christian is guaranteed a new body in heaven that is free from the sin nature as it will be just the like body of our Lord Jesus (Phil 3:20-21), for “We know that when He appears, we will be like Him” (1 John 3:2), and “in Him there is no sin” (1 John 3:5).      The believer's focus must be on daily—moment-by-moment—spiritual growth, allowing the Holy Spirit to produce His fruit in their life (Gal 5:22-23) while resisting the flesh by making no provision for it (Rom 13:14). This includes guarding against worldly influences that stimulate the sin nature and choosing instead to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord (2 Pet 3:18). While sinless perfection will not be attained until the believer is glorified, we are called to continually pursue righteousness (2 Tim 3:16-17; Tit 2:11-14), relying on the Holy Spirit (Eph 5:18; Gal 5:16), who supplies the power to overcome the flesh. Ultimately, the Christian's victory is secured through ongoing dependence on the Holy Spirit, a willing heart, and a steady focus on spiritual growth.      In conclusion, though the battle with the flesh rages on, we do not fight alone or without hope. God has equipped us with everything necessary for life and godliness (2 Pet 1:3). We have His indwelling Spirit (Eph 1:13), His inspired Word (2 Tim 2:16-17), the intercession of Christ (1 John 2:1), and the support of fellow believers to help us stand firm. Our sin nature, though still present, no longer reigns; we are no longer its slaves (Rom 6:6, 14). Each step of faith, each moment of obedience, each act of love, reflects the power of God at work within us. The war may be lifelong, but the outcome is certain. So we press on—not in fear or defeat—but in confident expectation of the day when the struggle will end and we shall see our Savior face to face, fully conformed to His image (1 John 3:2). Until then, let us walk by the Spirit (Eph 5:18; Gal 5:16), live by faith (2 Cor 5:7; Heb 10:38), and abound in the good works prepared for us by our gracious God (Gal 6:10; Eph 2:10). Dr. Steven R.

After facing the Pharisees and their questions, Jesus pronounced the seven or eight woes of the Scribes and Pharisees. Greater will be the judgment of these scribes and pharisees for their condemnation of the only sinless man to walk planet earth. In this episode, we parallel these woes with other verses of judgment about judgment.      Matthew 23:1-39Matthew 12:41-42James 3:1Mark 9:42www.messagetokings.com

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are in the Gospel of Mark. Go to the website and grab the Scripture Journal for this study so you can study along with us. Our shout-out today goes to Phillip "William" Beckwith from Greer, SC. Thanks for being a monthly partner. We cannot do what we do here without the support of faithful donors like you. I love you brother. Today, we're reading Mark 1:9-11: In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” — Mark 1:9-11 Jesus didn't need to be baptized. Yet, he did. He stepped into the waters of baptism to identify with us. He didn't come to be served but to serve, to walk through the same trials and experiences we face. And his baptism marked the start of his public ministry, but we see here it also served as a resounding affirmation from the Father. As Jesus came out of the water, the heavens were torn open, the Spirit descended like a dove, and the Father's voice thundered, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." This was profound on two levels. First, it revealed Jesus's identity as the Son of God, marked by divine approval. Second, it displayed the full Trinity in action: the Father speaking, the Son being baptized, and the Spirit descending. But there's more. Jesus didn't come just to receive the Father's approval. He came to restore our relationship with the Father. The voice that said, “You are my beloved Son” is now extended to us. The Father adopts us into his family through Jesus. The same Spirit that descended on Jesus is available to empower us today. Jesus's baptism is a reminder that the Father delights in his children and that he equips us with his Spirit to live out our calling. You see, this moment wasn't just for Jesus. It was done as an example and declaration for all who would follow him. We are invited into an immersive relationship with the Father. Public baptism declares we are confirmed, secured, and empowered by the Father. If you haven't made the decision to follow Jesus, today is the day to turn to him. Jesus came to restore your relationship with your Father and empower you to live for him. Will you accept that invitation today? You see, the Father is not distant or disengaged. He is actively involved in our lives, calling us to be his children. Just as Jesus was affirmed and empowered in his identity as the Son of God, we too are called to walk in our new identity as sons and daughters of the King. Don't do this life alone without the Heavenly Father. He has done everything to call you home. If today is the day for you to come home. Write "I choose Jesus," in the comments below. #BelovedByTheFather, #Mark1Devotional, #IdentityInChrist ASK THIS: Why do you think Jesus chose to be baptized? How does the Father's voice shape your view of God? Do you live from approval or for approval? What does it mean to you to be called God's beloved child? DO THIS: Make your identity in Christ your foundation—live from the Father's affirmation, not for it. PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for calling me your beloved. Empower me by your Spirit to live boldly in my new identity. Amen. PLAY THIS: Who You Say I Am.

Good Friday slows us down. It invites us to linger near the cross. We reflect on those final moments of Jesus' earthly suffering: how he was mocked and scorned, tried and beaten, crowned with thorns and nailed to a Roman cross, lifted up and crucified as a man humiliated, rejected. But this death was no ordinary death. It was the death of death itself. In 1 Peter 3:18, we are not only shown the significance of Christ's suffering, but the very purpose behind it.

Matthew 3-4 tells us the story of Jesus getting baptized then Jesus being led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. The main point of these stories is to remind believers that we are at war. There is a real enemy; if there is a real enemy, it helps to be mindful of the typical weapons of the enemy as well as practical methods of fighting back against the evil in the world.

Segment 1: • A Unique Apologetic: No one could accuse Jesus of sin—what would it take for you to call someone sinless? • Christmas Reflection: Jesus is God, and His sinlessness underscores the miracle of the incarnation. • Faith Insight: Doubt isn't the same as unbelief—stay grounded in the truth of who Jesus is. Segment 2: • Enduring Praise: God commends tireless discernment, endurance, resistance to the devil, obedience to His Word, and teachable hearts. • Self vs. God: In a world consumed with self-affirmation, focus on what God values. • Scriptural Guidance: "Each man's praise will come to him from God"—live for His approval, not man's. Segment 3: • Fewer Families: By 2050, more people over 80 than children will change society—and the church. • Ministry Opportunity: Aging societies mean more ministry alongside singles and those without families. • For Parents: Invest in giving your children a foundation in something greater than the world can offer. Segment 4: • Singleness Isn't Inferior: The Bible honors singleness as much as marriage—it's not second-class citizenry. • Encouragement for All: Churches must support both married and single people as demographics shift. • Lessons from the 1960s: Liberal ideologies spread then as they do now—there's nothing new under the sun. ___ Thanks for listening!
