Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and David Renfro are answering a question about the being spiritually dead. Does this mean there is a complete inability to respond to God? If Satan is blinding people, how can they possibly come to faith without being regenerated first? This is the Calvinist position.

FEAR OF GOD. In this episode of the Came to Believe Recovery Podcast, the hosts explore the concept of the 'Fear of God' and its implications in the context of spirituality and recovery. They discuss the dual nature of God as both a loving father and a powerful force, using metaphors of fire and water to illustrate the need for respect and reverence. The conversation also touches on the New Covenant, grace, and the importance of understanding God's love in the recovery journey. This conversation explores the themes of fear, grace, and the relationship with God from the perspectives of believers and unbelievers. The dialogue emphasizes the balance between reverence and a casual relationship with God, and the need for accountability in faith.

The Origins Podcast began with a bang, a Big Bang. Over the first month of our recording, we traveled to two continents, and 4 cities and recorded 16 episodes in 22 days. It was a whirlwind, and one of the most amazing experiences I can recall. While in London, we took advantage of the amazingly gracious acceptance by Ricky Gervais to appear on the podcast. It was a day I will always remember. Ricky had appeared in our film, The Unbelievers, which followed me and Richard Dawkins around the world. Gus and Luke Holwerda, who directed and filmed that movie helped create The Origins Podcast, and for the first year, filmed all the episodes. Ricky graciously agreed to appear in front of their cameras one more time, and joined us at what was then New College of Humanities, where I was a visiting Professor. From the moment he arrived, it was clear it was going to be great. As he had been when we filmed The Unbelievers Ricky claimed to be nervous and was worried he would appear ignorant. He needn't have worried. Maybe that is one of the reasons he is so good at what he does, because he worries about rising to the challenge. We discussed his early life, his love of science, his early interest in biology and then philosophy, then the science of comedy, the comedy of religion, and the need for free speech. He then proceeded to demand a mind-bending, personal science lesson from me. It was amazing. He was amazing. Enjoy this, our first rebroadcast of a classic Origins Podcast Episode that is worth watching once again. Enjoy. As always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers.

This week, we are discussing the first half of James 5.  And to be honest, it is has been a bit of a struggle for me to work through because most of the commentary I read on this portion says that James switches to writing to unbelievers. It is hard for me to wrap my mind around this when the entirety of James is written to believers. Why then would he randomly address unbelievers in this small section? Is he actually addressing unbelievers in this section? Well, let's find out.You ready? Let's dig in.Verses: James 5:1-12, Matthew 6:24, Matthew 19:16-22Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture references are from the English Standard Version.Worship on the Way Out: Not Moved by Victor ThompsonResources: Courtney Doctor - SteadfastLooking for more ways to connect? Join the podcast over on Instagram @SheDisciplesPodcastLooking for a behind-the-scenes look at the podcast and more?

Hello there, and welcome to this episode of The Burt (Not Ernie) Show. You know, hope is not something random. We don't stumble upon it, trip over it, bump into it and viola - lookie there, life-change occurs. That's not hope, especially not from a biblical perspective. The Bible has a lot to say about hope, and there is one book in particular that is brimming with hope for us today…if we'll just take the time to read what it says, and, of course, to believe it. Looking for some hope? Then this episode is for you.   This is The Burt (Not Ernie) Show podcast, available on the Edifi app, and this is episode number 205. I'm so grateful you're listening, and I hope today's episode encourages and blesses you.    When I am reading my Bible, and I see the word will or the word all in a promise God makes, I take it seriously. I usually underline it twice and often I will read it out loud and put emphasis on the word will, or on the word all. There's nothing special about doing that; it simply reminds me that whenever God makes a promise, and says that He will do something, well, then He will. And I found that to be pretty significant, that decision to actively believe that He means what He says.    So, recently I was reading Revelation. Hold up. Don't panic, it's not just a scary book (although what is going to come upon the whole earth in the final days is very serious, I'm not denying that, not at all). But for the believer, for those who love the Lord, it's a terribly hopeful book in the Bible. And, it kind of shouts about hope, because it's not a past-tense, this already happened and it shows us God's character, He'll take care of me because He took care of, say, David, or Ruth, or Esther; those people inspire us to trust God all the more, and that is so important, such a blessing to have their real life stories to learn from, to be encouraged by, and to know God's character, even in the dark times of life. But Revelation, well, there's all this stuff that has yet to happen, prophecy to be fulfilled, and so much of what we read there is crazy encouraging. It's profound. And we know it will happen, that what the Lord has promised will come to pass, well, that's exactly what's going to come to pass. So it's a hopeful book, and a hope-filled book. Proverbs tells us that hope deferred makes the heart sick (that's Proverbs 13:12). But with Revelation, we need to bear in mind that even though it feels like so long since John received this revelation from Jesus, as Peter wrote, God isn't slow in keeping His promise, but is patient, because He does not want anyone to perish. To spend eternity apart from Him. That's from 2 Peter, chapter 3, I believe.   Let me read to you from chapter 21 of Revelation, verses one through eight.   Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God's home is now among His people! He will live with them, and they will be His people. God Himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”  And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then He said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” And He also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega - the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be My children. But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars - their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”    Got a whole lot of hope packed into these eight verses. The old heaven and the old earth are going to disappear. That's just a fact. Jesus says so, and so it shall be. Disappear. Gone. No longer here. If we are loving the world so much, trying to maybe hold on to aspects of it, to make it better, improve it, help it along, maintain it, keep it going…well, that's not the best use of our limited and finite time, because it is not going to last. Why spend all our strength on what is guaranteed to disappear? A 100% negative ROI. The sea will also be gone, says verse 1. When the old earth disappears, God will finally have His Eden. At the appearance of the New Jerusalem, which comes down from God out of heaven, there will be 1000 years of this world in perfection. Think about the hope and the promise of that. One thousand years of perfection. More than ten full lifetimes, as we know them know, more than ten lifetimes of peace and perfection in a world that is perfect. Every single thing will be perfect, under the reign and rule of Jesus. That's a lot of good stuff to look forward to. Hope - Revelation 21 ushers in so much hope.    The sea will be gone. What does this mean? Well, here's one thing that it means: restlessness will be no more. Think about the ocean, the sea. It's not ever really flat and calm, except in that area around the equator known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone, or the doldrums. It's calm there, but seasoned sailors (not so much in our day and age, but in the eras of sails and wind driven vessels) - seasoned sailors know that you end up stuck there, floating, not drifting, and it is so hot, the sun is so intense, the sea is flat and still, and there's nothing good about it. No forward movement, no momentum, the last place you want to be languishing out on the open ocean. The doldrums are the one place where the sea is not restless, but it makes the seafarers extremely restless. So when it comes to the sea, it is always a restless place. There won't be restlessness anymore. Knowing that a day is soon to come that will leave all our restlessness behind, well, that's hopeful. In the new world there cannot be, will not be, restlessness or lack of peace, being tossed around here and there, to and fro, as if driven by the waves of the sea. And there won't be any doldrums that nearly drive you mad. No longer any sea reminds us, promises us, a day is soon coming with no restlessness. Isn't that a beautiful promise to hold on to and garner hope from?    God's home will then be among His people. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. Revelation 21:3-4. When God says will in one of His promises to us, He means it. He takes it so seriously, and I think He'd like us to also take it seriously. He will wipe every, not most, but every tear from your eyes. God Himself will do it. He doesn't send one of His mighty angels to do this, as He sends them to do so much of His will all throughout the book of Revelation. He Himself will bend near, and wipe every tear from our eyes. This verse sparks so much hope. There will be no more (how much more? No more!) death of sorrow or crying or pain. All these will be gone forever. How much kindness, love, goodness, compassion, mercy, grace and favor will come to us when this promise is fulfilled? God's very character and nature are wrapped up in this. Are you feeling hopeful based on these promises?    He will make everything new. I'm not sure what needs to be made new in your life, but I can think of several things in my own life, my world, that could use some brand newness from the Lord's hand. He is going to do what He said, and He will make everything new. Look forward to this time with hope and assurance. Take this seriously. He knows all the things that need to be made new in your life, and He is going to make it all new one day, likely one day very, very soon, based on the signs of the times and the season we're living in.  He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. And He ain't messing around. When He says in this chapter, “It is finished,” boy oh boy does He ever mean it. When He said that from the cross, and then gave up His Spirit and died, He defeated sin. And three days later, when He rose from the dead, He fully defeated death and the grave and hell for all who follow Him. It is finished are words in red that ought to wake us up out of our slumber.  To all who are thirsty, I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. What you need most, what you really are thirsting for in life, the stuff that matters when the chips are down and it's all on the line and laid bare - He's promising to give it to you freely. All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be My children.  All is used in this promise twice. All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings.    It takes something to be victorious. It takes being a follower of Jesus who actually follows Him. Indeed, not just in words. Do you obey Him out of your love for Him? Are you following Him? And are you applying His words from Matthew chapter 24, when He says that the one who endures till the end shall be saved? Sometimes in this day and age, we just have to keep enduring. Moment by moment. Heartbreak, grief, sin, overwhelm, fear of what's to come, despair…in all this and so much more, He calls us to endure. Endure till the end. That is how we will be victorious and will inherit these blessings. You can do the work of enduring, because the Holy Spirit will help you.    And then, verse 8. But Oh boy, when the Lord starts a sentence with the word but, we need to pay attention. Close attention. He's saying something really important. But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers and all liars - their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.    This is pretty serious. Cowards. Okay, well don't be cowardly when it comes to Jesus. If we are, then now is the time to deal with that. Pray and ask Him to make you not a coward, not ashamed to be known as one of His followers. In any and every situation and circumstance and relationship, He can make you brave for Him in place of being a coward. If this is you, please pray for it and seek His help. Today. Don't dilly dally on this one.  Unbelievers, they don't get the promise. They get the second death. We cannot continue to pretend that people who don't follow Jesus are unbelievers and they don't want to be believers, we need to stop pretending that they are somehow getting the new life when this verse says they get the second death. The corrupt, second death. Murderers, second death. You see, repentance and trust in the finished and complete and powerful work of Jesus, overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony (which means we gotta have a testimony, right??) that's the opposite of unrepentant people. A murderer can be forgiven all day long by the Lord, if they repent. Same for the immoral, the corrupt, and idol worshipers and all liars. Repent and then turn and do a 180 from whatever the sinful condition is. Liars, stop lying. Idol worshipers, stop it and instead worship the One True God. Those who practice witchcraft - listen, if you are into palm reading and horoscopes and astrology and WitchTok on TikTok where you learn about casting spells, or like that Eagles fan at the Super Bowl who was stabbing and stabbing and stabbing like a wild woman that voodoo doll - wearing a red string on your wrist to ward off the evil eye, or wearing an evil eye necklace, I could go on and on. Witchcraft is very much alive and well right here in western society, and we don't need to lie to ourselves and say that it's not the same thing as Jwesus was talking about here in Revelation 21. Yes, it is the same thing. It's evil. And even a controlling spirit, like if you are a person who has gotten used to manipulating people, sort of twisting words, laying on guilt, leaning on people to get them to do what you want, you know, manipulation, that's a person who, in their spirit, in their inner being, in their thoughts and in their heart, they want to control people, and it shows up in their words and actions and behavior. That's witchy stuff right there. But the Lord is always ready to heal and forgive, when we repent and turn away from that and turn toward Him. The Holy Spirit is always helping us. Ask for His help, a million times a day if you need it. Won't He help you? He surely will.    Remember, the hope we have in these promises, that God is going to wipe away your every tear, and remove forever death and sorrow and crying and pain. Those will be gone forever. We want this to be our future reality. Not the second death. But eternal life with all the good that God has in store for us. Don't miss this, not for the world (especially not for the world, since it's going to disappear…that's a lousy trade, trading eternal good for a guaranteed total loss). Grab the hope in Revelation, and don't let it go. God's got good for you, in this life and so much good for you in the next life.  Hang on to this hope. Hang on to Jesus.   I'll see you next time. Bye bye.

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are answering a question about the timing of receiving eternal salvation as a gift. Why is it a requirement that this eternal life be received before physical death? Don't some religions teach that there is a second chance to receive it after death?

Episode 208 it is .. where the steely grip of starvation takes hold of the amaXhosa nation by December 1856. Self-induced, a response to years of colonial expansion, incroaching land grabs, loss of power of the chiefs and ancient custom, the immediate terror of the 8th Frontier War and its effects, and a mingling of Christianity and traditional magic — an attempt at finding salvation. It was not the first, nor the last millenarian movement of South African history. It was also not the only one of its type at the time in the mid-19th Century, the Taiping Rebellion in China had been bludgeoning its way through the countryside, and there the number of dead would climb to more than 20 million in the decade of that country's disastrous flirtation with sectarianism and mythology. 40 000 Xhosa were going to die of starvation in British Kaffraria and what was known then as Xhosaland. When we left off last episode, King Sarhili of the Gcaleka line, the paramount chief of the Xhosa, had visited the Gxarha river to meet with Mkhazana and Nongqawuse the prophet early in 1857. A quick word about millenarian movements. Most have a particular structure, and are replicated the world over. There is usually the charismatic leader, a figure head. Behind this person are the administrators, the navigators who guide this mishapen ship on it's voyage, almost always towards self-destruction. The causes of millenarianism are diverse, but the overriding similarities lie in all linked to Middle Eastern monotheistic religions intersecting with local ancient rites and cultural norms. They all are characterised by a prophetic leader, a charismatic figure claiming divine insight, all have end-times expectations. Elements of the Christian Nationalist right wing in America have a similar core belief - as the baby boomers approach their end of life, many are convinced its the end-Times for everyone. They have annointed their own charismatic figure who is known as POTUS. Nongqawuse's startling revelations that these ancestors were on the cusp of returning led to the Cattle Killing frenzy. By December 1856 there had been two disappointments, the resurrection had been postponed twice. Still the believers believed. Two harvests had passed, and they did not til their land. Old people living near Peelton Mission station began dying of starvation. Many others were wearing hunger belts, special girdles fastened around the stomach. “Hunger…” wrote Brownlee “is fast closing upon its victims, and though there should be no war, their sufferings will far exceed anything which they have hitherto experienced…”

A year ago, John Richards the head of the Atheist UK approached me about the idea of celebrating Christopher Hitchens with a Hitchmas event, near Christmas, and on or about the anniversary of Christopher's death, on Dec 15, 2011. I realized that to do it right would require time and organization, and the proper panelists. I was thrilled that Christopher's friends and mine, Stephen Fry, Richard Dawkins, and Douglas Murray agreed to be part of the event, and that the HowTo Academy, which organizes wonderful events in London, several of which I had done before, agreed to coordinate the logistics with The Origins Project Foundation. A year later, the sold-out event happened, and we decided in advance to record it appropriately, with 5 cameras, and to have Gus and Luke Holwerda, who directed and filmed The Unbelievers, and with whom I began The Origins Podcast, edit the final product.As a special Holiday gift, we are making the advert free video version available to both paid and free subscribers here on Critical Mass. This post has the audio version for those who prefer that. If you want to watch the video, open the other Critical Mass post we are releasing this morning. Our YouTube channel will also host the video, and I encourage you to subscribe to that channel as well if you wish. No matter how you watch it, or listen to it (we will make the audio available on iTunes etc), we hope you find this set of reminiscences and the ensuing discussion a wonderful reminder of a remarkable man, and that it inspires you as much as Christopher inspired us. Happy Holidays to you all. Lawrence M. Krauss Get full access to Critical Mass at lawrencekrauss.substack.com/subscribe

I address more questions and objections:-- Was Jesus' "appearance" to Paul truly a resurrection appearance?-- Jews did not bury crucified victims. Jesus was left in an open tomb and most likely eaten by dogs/birds.-- Jesus' Body Would have been Unrecognizable-- Why Didn't Jesus Appear to Unbelievers?-- The Doctrine of Resurrection was a Later Doctrine-- How did Mark know what the women saw at the tomb if they did not say anything to anyone? --Why were the unbelieving Jews anticipating a resurrection of Jesus, but not the apostles?Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieveParler: @thinkingtobelieve

2 Corinthians 3:2-3 — Christians are letters of recommendation – living epistles - for the Lord Jesus. To truly impact those outside the church, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones teaches that the Christian must start within the church. Listen to this sermon on 2 Corinthians 3:2–3 and learn that the people of Christ are to be a letter so plainly written that anyone could read its message and understand the gospel of Christ. Each person is either in Christ or out – there has always been a great division. The hand holding the pen and writing such words is not the one holding the power; the power is the hand of God. Salvation happens in the fleshly parts of the heart, and morality is not merely the outside. This gospel is not merely an improvement, but a radical transformation; a profound intellectual change occurs in the believer. A great distinction between the unbeliever and the believer is their understanding of the primacy of the human soul. Unbelievers are blinded by a veil of sin, but the Christian can see truly through Christ's sacrifice. The Son sets humanity free. The more one looks at Christ, the more they will look like Him – people will be able to look at a Christian's face and see the difference.

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin and Mike Lii are answering a question about using the term “Christian.” Is it okay to refer to professing Christians as Christians even though they have never believed in the free gift of everlasting life? What does “Christian” actually mean in the New Testament? Listen and

Hey, Neighbor! Luke felt led to pray for his Unbelieving co-worker--but he wonders if he prayed the right way? Also, should we just ask for "God's Will" to be done every time, or is that kind of a cop-out? Later: A woman's 10-year-old daughter suddenly stopped walking, and she wants to help you learn how to buy crutches for your child as well. (That sounds sensational, but she DOES have a Parenting Course.) Let us explain why social media is full of this nonsense... Contact the Comedian at Nextdoor@johnbranyan.com

Acts 24:24 — In this sermon on Acts 24:24 titled “Faith: The Golden Key” that Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preached to Bridgnorth Baptist Church in 1975, he focused on how the gospel is to be preached and listened to. The tragic story of Felix and Priscilla unfolds as a prisoner talks to this Roman governor and princess. What happened then is still needed now. Take a look at the Ten Commandments and God's design for humanity to be made in His image as a righteous companion. Temperance and self-control are crucial. All people are made of both body and soul and will one day stand before God in judgment. What distinct characteristic divides human and animal? Are humans merely a product of their instincts? Surely not. The gospel is absolutely necessary for humanity's hope and it is at this very point in which God steps in. Turn to God, cry out for mercy, and He will give it. Christ died that all might be forgiven and made good; it only requires belief. Unbelievers should heed the warnings of the story of Felix and Priscilla as the “Night of Nights” in Pompeii ended in tragedy for them and confess their sin today.

Arrogance is a very real issue, and King Nebuchadnezzar serves as a prime example. He was the wealthiest man on the planet, warned by Daniel about his pride, yet he refused to turn from it. We can all relate to the temptation of arrogance. There's a thin line between confidence and arrogance, often found in the pathways of forgetfulness. Nebuchadnezzar took credit for his accomplishments rather than giving glory to God. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar remind Christians that in reality, everything we have comes from God. Without Him, we are incapable of true success.Unbelievers often claim God hasn't given them anything, but even their minds, ears, and breath are gifts from Him. Believers and unbelievers alike often act like we are self-sufficient, yet we have a beginning because we have a Creator. Life is a mystery to unbelievers, but the Bible tells us our purpose. When we lose control, we should turn to the Lord. If you think you are wise, you are a fool. You can either trust in yourself or recognize your need for wisdom. True wisdom begins with humility. There's a direct link between our hearts and our demeanor; arrogance must go when life humbles us. The cross, above all, humbles us. It shows us that our deepest need is reconciliation to God—a need we cannot meet on our own. Self-examination is the antidote to self-deception, helping us recalibrate our hearts. Looking to cross reminds us that we can't save ourselves. All of life is a gift from God, and arrogance blinds us to this truth. When we forget God, we often become rude, insensitive, and self-sufficient. Arrogance doesn't pray because it feels no need for help. When we finally see the danger in pride, we will ask God for help. Arrogance, by removing God from the equation, leads to self-idolatry. Hell is God giving us over to the desires of our hearts. Everyone must recognize their need for God and continually turn to Him in life, so they have Him for eternity.To think we are anything without God is lunacy. He created us in His image, for the purpose of knowing Him and making Him known. Sin itself is a form of arrogance, a defiance of God's plan. It invites the enemy into our lives and our families. Atheism, in many ways, is the epitome of arrogance, fueled by a lack of fear of the Lord. Even those who don't think they are arrogant often reveal their arrogance in that very belief. Surround yourself with people who will speak into your life and hold you accountable. As Christians, we have blind spots in our sanctifying process, and we need others to help humble us and point us back to God.Send us a text Thanks for listening!
