Send us a textHave you ever wondered why God sometimes allows difficult situations in your life? Just as a shepherd might break a wandering sheep's leg to keep it close and nurse it back to health, God may permit challenges that draw us nearer to Him. This profound analogy opens our conversation about divine purpose in suffering before we dive into the theological depths of Christ's atonement.The doctrine of atonement—literally meaning "at-one-ment"—stands as one of Christianity's most foundational yet contested teachings. Our panel explores how William Tyndale coined this term to capture the essence of Christ making believers "at one" with God through His sacrifice. We unpack the Reformed understanding that Jesus' atonement effectively saves all those for whom He died, reconciling God's sovereignty with human salvation in ways that honor the unified will of the Trinity.The question of eternal security generates our most passionate exchange. Can true Christians lose their salvation? The panel presents compelling biblical reasoning that challenges this notion: If salvation could be lost, how could anyone claim with confidence they are saved? What sin could possibly undo what Christ accomplished? Where would the indwelling Holy Spirit go when a believer sins? Through personal testimonies, including one participant's nine-year walk away from faith before being powerfully restored, we witness how God's grip on His children never loosens, even when we try to escape it.This conversation distinguishes between God's eternal perspective (where His elect have always been His) and our human experience of salvation in time. The discussion concludes with a fresh interpretation of 2 Peter 3:9, revealing how God's unwillingness that any should perish guarantees the salvation of all His chosen people—bringing profound comfort to believers who rest not in their own faithfulness, but in the perfect, completed work of Christ.The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

(Joshua 8:30-35)Episode Summary:In this episode, we explore the significance of making God's Word publicly accessible and understood—a conviction shared by both Joshua and the Reformers.Before the printing press, Scripture was rare, and most people relied on public readings and oral teachings. We trace this historical necessity back to Moses and Joshua, who displayed God's Word publicly, ensuring it was central to the life of the people. Likewise, the Reformers, such as William Tyndale, fought to make Scripture available and understandable to everyone.Yet, while we now live in a time when the Bible is more accessible than ever before, biblical literacy is at an all-time low. This episode challenges us to go beyond merely owning a Bible and instead ensure that we read, understand, and live by it.Key Themes Discussed:The role of Scripture before the printing pressHow Moses and Joshua ensured God's Word was publicly availableThe Reformers' battle for access to and proper understanding of the BibleThe danger of biblical neglect in the modern ageThe importance of hearing, studying, and applying God's Word in our daily livesKey Scripture References:Deuteronomy 27:1-4 – Moses commands that God's law be inscribed on stonesJoshua 8:30-35 – Joshua publicly displays and reads the law1 Timothy 4:13 – Paul's instruction to Timothy about public Scripture readingHebrews 10:25 – The command not to neglect assembling together2 Timothy 3:16-17 – The role of Scripture in equipping believersCall to Action:Prioritize hearing and studying Scripture regularlyShare this podcast with others who need to hear the messageReflect on whether you are merely possessing the Bible or truly living by itThank you for joining us on The Bible Project Daily Podcast!Faith That Challenges.

It's Tuesday, February 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Egyptian Christian jailed for converting from Islam An Egyptian Christian, Abdulbaqi Saeed Abdo, is a father of five and converted from Islam to the Christian faith. Originally from Yemen, West Asia, he has been released from an Egyptian prison after three years of incarceration.  Abdo was indicted on charges of participating in a private Facebook group which advocated the Christian faith.   Alliance Defending Freedom International represented the Christian convert who suffered poor treatment in prison, affecting his heart, liver, and kidneys.  Trump pauses tariffs on Canada & Mexico after pledge to boost border enforcement On Monday, President Donald Trump agreed to a 30-day pause on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada since America's two largest trading partners took steps to appease his concerns about border security and drug trafficking, reports the Associated Press. TRUMP: “Had a great talk with Mexico. We have to stop fentanyl from coming in, and we have to stop the illegal aliens from coming in.” In the face of a 25% tariff south of the border, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she would reinforce the border with 10,000 members of her country's National Guard.  TRUMP:  “They've agreed to put in 10,000 soldiers permanently, like forever, 10,000 soldiers at their side of the border and stop fentanyl.” That's why Trump called off that tariff threat for the moment. Mexico's trade surplus with the U.S. is running at $160 billion. The Trump administration had also suggested a 25% tariff on Canadian annual imports of some $430 billion.  Initially, the Canadian government responded with a suggestion of a 25% tariff on American goods, currently running at $107 billion. But, on Monday afternoon, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted on X that the pause would occur “while we work together,” saying that his government would name a fentanyl czar, list Mexican cartels as terrorist groups, and launch a “Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl, and money laundering.” Will Trump's tariff threat persuade China and European Union? Trump has announced a 10% tariff on China on $400 billion of imports to begin today if President Xi Jinping does not demonstrably commit to combat illegal immigration and drug smuggling, reports Reuters. TRUMP: “If we can't make a deal with China, then the tariffs will be very, very substantial.” China's surplus is $270 billion. Europe will not be immune to President Trump's tariff pressure either. He is planning to levy a tariff on the European Union which, at this point, holds a trade surplus of $160 billion with the United States. U.S. Agency for Int'l Development under control of State Dept now Meanwhile, the Trump administration has announced that the U.S. Agency for International Development, primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance, will move under the direct control of the U.S. State Department.  It will no no longer act as an independent agency. USAID spending has run between $15 and $20 billion per year over the last 20 years. It was created in 1961 under the Kennedy administration. In related news, the USAID website was taken down Saturday.   Dept. of Defense ends identity months The U.S. Defense Department has announced an end to the sponsorship and support of “Identity Months” through the use of official resources. That will include Black History Month, Women's History Month, and National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The release entitled “Identity Months Dead at DoD” stated that the department would instead “celebrate the valor and success of military heroes of all races, genders, and backgrounds as we restore our warrior culture and ethos.” New York doctor to be arrested for prescribing Abortion Kill Pill A Louisiana grand jury has issued an arrest warrant for a New York doctor who allegedly prescribed abortion kill pills for a pregnant minor who resided in the state of Louisiana.   The jury indicted Dr. Margaret Carpenter; her company, Nightingale Medical, PC; and the minor's mother for the felony of administering an abortion-inducing drug to the child. West Baton Rouge District Attorney Tony Clayton told the Associated Press that the mother turned herself in to the police last week. Job 24:1, 14 speaks of this.  “Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, why do those who know Him see not His days? … The murderer rises with the light; He kills the poor and needy; and in the night he is like a thief.” Education decline in America The United States is leading the world in educational decline, according to the most recent Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study issued towards the end of 2024. Our students' math scores dropped from 13th place in 2019 to 25th place in the 2023 testing.  American 4th graders' scores fell 18 points after 2019, while 8th graders' scores fell by 27 points—the biggest drop since the United States began participating in the test in 1995. Peggy Carr, the commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics, noted what she called the “steep, steep” declines — erasing progress made in previous years. Brazil, South Africa, and Morocco have the worst scores while China, South Korea, Singapore, and Japan lead the world in science and math.  But let us all remember that “the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction..”  (Proverbs 1:7) Martyr John Rogers burned at the stake February 4, 1555 And, on this day in history, February 4th, 1555, John Rogers was burned at the stake, as the first Christian martyr under the reign of the English monarch Mary I. She became known as “Bloody Mary” for ordering a total of 280 Protestants burned at the stake. Rogers was a friend of William Tyndale and continued Tyndale's efforts to translate the Bible. Roger's work included the first complete English Bible and English Bible commentary, published under the pseudonym Thomas Matthews. His translation was known as the Matthews Bible.   He is remembered for singing the Psalms as he was marched to the site of his execution.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, February 4th in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

In 1535, William Tyndale was burned at the stake at the order of the King of England for the grievous crime of translating the Bible into English, and then printing it and disseminating it. King Henry 8th was so furious, he burned 6,000 copies of the Bible. But today, we don't burn the Bible. We just ignore it. In 2 Timothy 4, the Apostle Paul says what King Henry knew - that the Bible is dangerous because the Bible is no mere book. It's the Word of God and it has the power to utterly transform us, in the process forging us into the likeness of Jesus in a world that desperately need it. The Bible really can do that. That is, if we let it. SPEAKERS: David Tieche (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): 2 Timothy 5

Join us on a journey through history as we explore the life of William Tyndale, a transformative figure in the Protestant Reformation, whose unwavering dedication to translating the Bible into English changed the course of religious history. Born in Gloucestershire, England, around 1494, Tyndale was a scholar of remarkable ability, studying at both Oxford and Cambridge and becoming proficient in multiple languages. Inspired by Martin Luther and supported by Reformation leaders like Philip Melanchthon, Tyndale believed passionately that everyone should have access to the Scriptures in their own language. Tyndale's momentous achievement came in 1525 when he completed the first English translation of the New Testament directly from Greek. Despite fierce opposition from the Church and State, and the constant threat to his life, Tyndale's resolve never wavered. He continued his work while in exile, translating parts of the Old Testament and writing influential books. Betrayed and imprisoned in Antwerp, Tyndale's final words before his execution in 1536 were a poignant prayer, "Lord, open the King of England's eyes." His legacy paved the way for future English translations, including the King James Version, and his work remains a cornerstone of Protestant thought. We invite you to delve into Tyndale's inspiring story with us, reflecting on the enduring impact of his life's work.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“When the Father's Wisdom wanted to communicate His loveHe spoke it in one final perfect Word. “And so the Light became alive, and manna became ManEternity stepped into time, so we could understand.”~Michael Card, musical artist “‘Evangelion' (that we call the gospel) is a Greek word, and signifies good, merry, glad and joyful tidings, that makes a man's heart glad, and makes him sing, dance and leap for joy.”~William Tyndale (1494-1536), English, scholar, reformer, and Bible translator “Many people visualize a God who sits comfortably on a distant throne, remote, aloof, uninterested, and indifferent to the needs of mortals, until, it may be, they can badger him into taking action on their behalf. Such a view is wholly false. The Bible reveals a God who, long before it even occurs to man to turn to him, while man is still lost in darkness and sunk in sin, takes the initiative, rises from his throne, lays aside his glory, and stoops to seek until he finds him.”~John R.W. Stott (1921-2011), Anglican priest and theologian “The Son of God did not want to be seen and found in heaven. Therefore he descended from heaven into this humility and came to us in our flesh, laid himself into the womb of his mother and into the manger and went on to the cross. This was the ladder that he placed on earth so that we might ascend to God on it. This is the way you must take.”~Martin Luther (1483-1546), German reformer “For whatever reason God chose to make man as he is— limited and suffering and subject to sorrows and death—He had the honesty and the courage to take His own medicine.… He has kept His own rules and played fair. He can exact nothing from man that He has not exacted from Himself. He has Himself gone through the whole of human experience, from the trivial irritations of family life and the cramping restrictions of hard work and lack of money to the worst horrors of pain and humiliation, defeat, despair and death. When He was a man, He played the man. He was born in poverty and died in disgrace and thought it well worthwhile.”~Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957), novelist and playwrightSERMON PASSAGELuke 2:10-11, Proverbs 12:25, Proverbs 25:25 (ESV) Luke 2 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.Proverbs 1225 Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down,   but a good word makes him glad.Proverbs 25                         25 Like cold water to a thirsty soul,   so is good news from a far country.

William Tyndale's unwavering commitment to translating the Bible into English, despite the risks, mirrors the principles found in 1 Peter 3. Tyndale's life teaches us the value of suffering for doing good rather than evil. Peter's message to early Christians in Turkey emphasizes rejecting fear, honoring Christ, and defending faith with gentleness. He highlights that good behavior can silence critics and that suffering for righteousness is commendable. Jesus' redemptive suffering and victory over sin serve as the ultimate example, encouraging us to embrace our own trials with courage. Reflecting on Tyndale's sacrifice and Peter's teachings, we are called to stand firm in our faith, pursue righteousness, and trust that our suffering for good fulfills God's greater purposes.

It's Thursday, October 10th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Iranian Christian released from prison 5 years early Church in Chains reports that authorities in Iran released a Christian convert from Evin Prison in Tehran last week. Mehdi Akbari had already spent nearly five years in prison out of his 10-year sentence. Thankfully, a court reduced his sentence.  Officials arrested him in 2019 on charges of “acting against national security by forming an illegal evangelical Christian group.”  Mansour Borji with Article 18, a non-profit religious liberty group, welcomed Mehdi's release. He said, “We call now for the immediate release of the other at least 20 Christians still in prison only on account of their beliefs and the peaceful outworking of these beliefs, such as Armenian citizen Hakop Gochumyan, who is also serving a ten-year sentence only because he visited some churches and was in possession of a handful of Bibles.” Irish legislature drops ambiguously worded “hate speech” bill The Irish legislature dropped “hate speech” elements from proposed legislation last month. The Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences Bill 2022 is currently stuck in the Irish Senate. The bill originally would criminalize the possession of material considered “likely” to incite hatred with up to five years in jail. The bill did not clearly define “hate.” This left many concerned that Christians could face jail time for simply affirming a Biblical understanding of sexuality. Alliance Defending Freedom International noted, “With the world watching, the people of Ireland said ‘no' to state censorship, and it's working.” Colorado Supreme Court dismissed case again Christian baker Jack Phillips In the United States, the Colorado  Supreme Court sided with a Christian baker on Tuesday. Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop has faced years of harassment for his biblical beliefs about marriage and sexuality.  The state's high court dismissed the latest case against him. The case started in 2017 when Phillips refused to bake a cake to celebrate someone pretending to be the opposite sex. Senior Counsel Jake Warner with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “Enough is enough. Jack has been dragged through courts for over a decade. It's time to leave him alone. Free speech is for everyone. As the U.S. Supreme Court held in 303 Creative, the government cannot force artists to express messages they don't believe.” Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?”  Toyota ends participation in sexually deviant corporate index Toyota told its U.S. employees last Thursday that it will no longer participate in the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index. The Equality Index, run by the radical, pro-homosexual Human Rights Campaign, measures how supportive companies are of sexually perverted lifestyles. Toyota will reportedly no longer participate in events that celebrate such lifestyles. The Japanese car maker will also focus its community activities on workforce readiness and education in science, technology, engineering, and math. 10 states have abortion on the ballot Voters across 10 states will vote on ballot initiatives involving abortion this coming November. Those states are Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, and South Dakota. In most cases, the initiatives would support abortion up to birth. U.S. Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri addressed the 2024 Pray Vote Stand Summit last week on the ballot initiatives. Listen. HAWLEY: “As the people go to the polls, let's be clear, as conservatives and yes, as Republicans, that we advocate life, that we urge our fellow Americans to support life.  We will do everything we can to protect life in the law all across this country. This is absolutely foundational!” Barna: 32 million Christians unlikely to vote in presidential election Dr. George Barna  released a report on the voting practices of people of faith. The survey found that 104 million people who identify with some religion are unlikely to vote in the upcoming presidential election. Sadly, this includes 32 million self-identified Christians who attend church regularly. People said they were unlikely to vote because they weren't interested in elections, disliked the major candidates, or didn't think their vote would make a difference. William Tyndale's momentous life and death And finally, this week is the anniversary of William Tyndale's death, traditionally commemorated on October 6. Tyndale faced arrest and later death in 1536 for alleged heresy. However, he had worked tirelessly to translate the Bible into English. It was his devotion to Scripture that brought him into conflict with church and civil leaders. In response to an assertion of the supremacy of the Pope, Tyndale famously said, “I defy the Pope and all his laws; and if God spares my life, ere many years, I will cause the boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than thou dost!” Tyndale's final words, spoken at the stake with a fervent zeal, and a loud voice, were reported later as "Lord! Open the King of England's eyes." Then, Tyndale was strangled to death  while tied at the stake, and then his dead body was burned.   Copies of Tyndale's translation were smuggled into England by the thousands. His work would form the basis of the Great Bible, edited by Miles Coverdale which made its way into every parish church just three years after Tyndale's death. Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, October 10th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

In this powerful and emotional episode, we explore the final words of the apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 4, as he encourages Timothy—and all of us—to stay faithful to God's calling. Facing imminent death, Paul's priority is clear: preach the Word of God. In a time when people seek messages that suit their desires rather than sound doctrine, Paul charges Timothy to remain steadfast in his preaching, no matter the cost. He draws on powerful imagery of a herald delivering the King's message, reminding Timothy that the pastor's role is to faithfully communicate God's truth, whether it's welcomed or resisted. We also hear the inspiring story of William Tyndale, a man who followed Paul's example and devoted his life to translating the Bible into English so that even the common person could read and understand it. Like Paul, Tyndale paid the ultimate price, dying for his commitment to Scripture. But both men left behind legacies of faithfulness that continue to impact the world today. This episode will challenge you to consider your own commitment to the truth of God's Word. Are you standing firm, or are you tempted to compromise? As Paul nears the end of his race, he reminds Timothy—and us—that the battle is worth it, the race is winnable, and the reward is eternal. Tune in for a timeless call to preach, teach, and live out the truth with unwavering conviction. Scripture reading: 2 Timothy 4
