Send us a textWhat if your greatest spiritual struggle is actually the strongest evidence of your salvation? In this powerful examination of Galatians 5:17-18, we uncover a revolutionary truth often overlooked in modern Christianity: the war between flesh and spirit that rages within believers is proof of spiritual life.While many Christians feel discouraged by their ongoing battle against sin, this internal conflict actually confirms the Holy Spirit's presence. Unbelievers don't experience this struggle—they sleep peacefully, unbothered by the conviction that keeps believers on their knees. Your resistance to temptation, grief over sin, and desire for holiness all testify to the divine life within you.We explore Paul's emphatic declaration that those led by the Spirit are not under the law. This creates a clear distinction between true gospel freedom and the bondage of religious performance. No saint in Scripture was ever saved through law-keeping—Abraham, Moses, and all others received righteousness through faith alone. When we understand this truth, we're liberated from the crushing weight of trying to earn God's favor through religious observance.The discussion tackles controversial topics like speaking in tongues, challenging the notion that such gifts serve as evidence of salvation. Instead, the true mark of the Christian is the daily struggle against sin and the desire to walk in holiness. Fellowship among believers creates spiritual bonds that transcend physical presence, uniting us in our common battle.Are you struggling against sin? Take heart—your battle is evidence of life, not failure. Join us in embracing the war within as confirmation of your salvation and discovering the freedom that comes from being led by the Spirit rather than bound by the law.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

If you were in the military, you could be disciplined or face a court martial if you were charged with conduct unbecoming an officer. Unfortunately through our sin and disobedience, we often give the world an opportunity to charge us with conduct unbecoming a Christian. Unbelievers will evaluate Christianity and Jesus Christ by examining the lives of his followers. How can we draw people to the Lord by the way we conduct our daily lives?

Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to be tempted? Dive into a theological exploration that challenges common misconceptions about temptation, tribulation, and end-times prophecy.The distinction between believers and unbelievers forms the foundation of this thought-provoking discussion. Unbelievers aren't "tempted" in the biblical sense—they simply follow their sinful nature without resistance. Satan tempts believers because they're actively resisting sin, while those already serving him need no temptation.This fundamental truth unlocks deeper understanding of passages like Revelation 3:10, where Christ promises to keep the Philadelphia church "from the hour of temptation." Rather than supporting a pre-tribulation rapture, this promise reveals God's faithfulness to preserve believers through trials, not remove them entirely. As James 1:12 affirms, believers are blessed for enduring temptation, not avoiding it altogether.The discussion tackles dispensationalist interpretations head-on, exposing critical inconsistencies in their end-times timeline. The "last trumpet" mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:52 creates an insurmountable problem—how can it be "last" if seven bowl judgments follow? Furthermore, this passage describes death being "swallowed up in victory," yet dispensationalism requires death to continue for another thousand years.When Scripture interprets Scripture, maintaining internal consistency becomes paramount. The Bible presents a coherent narrative of believers being preserved through tribulation rather than removed from it, culminating in Christ's final victory over all enemies, with death being the last to be conquered.Join us for this fascinating examination of how selective scripture reading creates theological systems that ultimately collapse under their own contradictions. How do you approach difficult passages that challenge your understanding of God's plan?The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter. Laughs included.

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

John 7:13 Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for fear of the Jews. Apparently the Jews, the Jewish leaders, were a very intimidating group of men. So much so that no one openly talked about Jesus at the feast of Booths. Those who thought He was a good man (vs. 12) must have made sure they only gave their opinion to people with whom they felt safe. Have you ever been intimidated into silence? Have you experienced the fear that comes from censorship and rejection? There are going to be times in our lives when we know we have to speak the truth in love in an atmosphere that is hostile to Christ. Usually that hostility has grown there because of the intimidation of important people in that community or social circle. There are certain circles where spiritual discussions are frowned upon or forbidden. It takes a lot of courage and love to speak up about Jesus in those circles. We need the discernment and discretion of Jesus to know when to speak and when not to. Even Jesus hesitated to go too, because He knew they were hostile to Him and wanted to kill Him. But I think we can be sure that His reluctance wasn't fear-based. It had more to do with God's timing, because He did go later. When He went, we've learned that He didn't keep silent. He went to the temple and began teaching. As He taught, the responses were guarded to non-existent. I think we can assume that the way the Jewish leaders intimidated the crowd was by their asking where He got His ideas. Essentially, they were saying that Jesus wasn't teaching what the reputable rabbis were teaching. They asserted that He wasn't educated by anyone with any authority or notoriety, therefore should be rejected and censored. Fear was stifling the crowd from talking about Him or His teaching. As we go through our day, let's not let intimidation hinder our speaking about Jesus or loving people God puts in our paths. We can trust God to use every situation and encounter for His glory as we wait on the Holy Spirit for ways to love them. Father, help us overcome fear of rejection and censorship. Give us discernment and discretion, as well as love and courage to speak out regardless of the environment. Make us bright lights in the darkness. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry.

This is the eighth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. What fundamental commitments lie beneath every argument—ours and others'? In this lesson, we explore the essential concept of presuppositions: the foundational beliefs that shape how people interpret reality. We begin by surveying a range of influential thinkers who challenge the notion of objective, neutral knowledge. Though differing in emphasis, each demonstrate that human understanding is always shaped by deeper frameworks: whether through paradigms that govern scientific inquiry, social structures that define reality, or systems of power that shape what is accepted as truth. Building on this recognition, we turn to Cornelius Van Til, who shows that beneath all such frameworks lie ultimate commitments—religious in nature—that govern how people interpret every aspect of life. This lesson equips you to uncover the presuppositions behind objections to the faith and to expose the necessity of the Christian worldview as the only foundation for truth, meaning, and rationality. 01:06 Understanding Presuppositions 04:02 Key Thinkers and Concepts 10:28 The Theological Foundations of Presuppositions 14:10 The Danger of Autonomy 16:51 The Demand for Consistency 21:56 Compassionate Engagement with Unbelievers 23:58 Summary and Conclusion Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

This is the sixth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. Why is there such a stark contrast between the worldview of the believer and that of the unbeliever? This lesson addresses the theological concept of the antithesis—the fundamental spiritual divide between those in Christ and those outside of him. You will learn how this distinction, rooted in covenant representation and union with Christ, shapes every aspect of life and apologetic engagement. By understanding the nature of regeneration, resurrection life, and our new identity in Christ, we are better prepared to witness to the truth with clarity and conviction, while holding fast to the hope of God's redemptive purpose for his people. 01:13 The Fundamental Distinction between Believers and Unbelievers 04:31 Covenantal Representation 09:25 The Resurrection 20:18 The New Identity in Christ 29:23 Living Out Our Union with Christ 32:10 Summary and Conclusion Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

Paul longs to live his life in a way makes the truth of the gospel clear to all. Unbelievers cannot see the gospel clearly because the god of this age, that is Satan, has made their minds blind. The same God who pronounced “Let light shine out of darkness,” must also shine into the hearts of men so that might see and believe. Our frail and humble bodies carry the infinite worth of Christ like jars of clay hiding treasure. Even though we are afflicted and persecuted in our frailty, we do not give up, for our affliction is producing for us the eternal weight of glory in the heavens. Later, Paul brings up the judgment seat of Christ, an event where the Lord reveals and judges the life of the believer. Keep in mind that this is not a judgment which determines whether or not someone will enter heaven, but a judgment for those who have already entered heaven by faith in Christ. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
You must be spiritually born to receive eternal life. “Unless one is born of water [physical birth] and born of Spirit [born again through faith alone in Christ alone] he cannot enter the kingdom of God” (John 3:5). This second birth is a simple act of faith. “He who believes in Him [the Lord Jesus Christ] is not judged” (John 3:18). You will either be born twice or die twice. Unbelievers, those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, will die the second death, will be condemned to the Lake of Fire, and tormented forever.Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/two-births-94140c

“Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself. We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord.” (Ephesians 2:20–21 NLT) We’ve reached a point in the church where people are starting to divide over really small things—second-tier and even third-tier issues. And then subdivisions occur. Groups get smaller and smaller as their conditions for acceptance get narrower and narrower. Before long, you find yourself saying, “It’s down to the four of us, and I’m not sure about you other three.” It’s not hard to find things that divide us. They’re low-hanging fruit. When we mistake our personal preferences and opinions for absolute truth, we can justify separating ourselves from just about anyone. It takes a little more effort to find things that unite us. Or to recognize that the things that divide us don’t have to divide us. Instead of automatically separating people into categories of “us” and “them,” we can agree to disagree. We can leave judgment to the Lord. That’s the direction God would have us go. Remember, we’re the body of Christ. We’re meant to work together, with each part playing an important role. You can’t divide a body or separate its parts without doing serious damage to the whole. That’s why the apostle Paul issued this warning to the believers in Rome: “And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them” (Romans 16:17 NLT). It’s not just the teachings that are dangerous; it’s the divisions they cause. It’s also why Paul wrote to the believers in Corinth, “I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose” (1 Corinthians 1:10 NLT). Divisions in the church aren’t just an in-house matter. The implications and damage extend far beyond the church walls. You see, people are watching us. People outside the church. Unbelievers for whom the message of Christ seems almost too good to be true. Changed hearts? Transformed lives? They want to see proof. They want to see us walk the walk. As far as many unbelievers are concerned, Christians are hypocrites until proven otherwise. When they see division in our ranks or hear us attacking one another or questioning the legitimacy of one another’s faith, it only confirms their cynical suspicions. They feel free to ignore our message and dismiss the Good News of Christ. Paul said, “Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace” (Ephesians 4:3 NLT). Make every effort. That doesn’t leave room for half-hearted attempts. God wants us to prioritize unity. Unity among believers isn’t just a matter of getting along with everyone or playing nicely with others; it’s also one of the most powerful testimonies available for showing the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.

Should believers make friendships with unbelievers? If so, how should they go about this? What principles ought they remember so they are not making themselves “friends with the world?” (Jam. 4:4). For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org
If Jesus makes no difference in our lives, then why would anyone serve Him? If Christ-followers live just like those who are unsaved, why would anyone follow? We would all readily acknowledge that we are not perfect, only Jesus is perfect, but wouldn't you agree that Jesus changes those who believe in Him?Main Points:1. I believe one of the questions people around us are silently asking is, “Does Jesus make a difference in your life?” Unbelievers are watching, often without us noticing, and they are wondering, “Is she different? Is he different, now that He is a follower of Jesus?” 2. When we place our faith in Jesus and confess Him as our Lord and Savior, His Spirit comes to reside within us. God's work of sanctification begins. To “sanctify” means to set apart. God is at work in our lives to set us apart from the unbelieving world by helping us to be like Jesus in our character. 3. By the Holy Spirit, and with our cooperation, God will change us. He will change our attitude, our conversation, our choices, decisions, reactions, and our lifestyle. He will change our desires, our dreams, and our ambitions. Before our relationship with Christ, we lived only for ourselves, now we live for God and His glory.Today's Scripture Verses:Philippians 2:13 - “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.”Romans 12:1-2 - “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”Philippians 1:6 - “…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
