With family visiting and celebrating birthdays and no time to study to record a new episode, I dug up a recording from 2009, months after my wife and I were married.At this time my father-in-law was leading a Bible study with the family and an older couple who would visit. I took two weeks to guest host it and teach on a topic I was studying at the time.This was while the manuscript for my book Freedom To Give: The Biblical Truth About Tithing was in its infancy. The first week of this study covered the Old Testament passages about tithing. The second week covered mostly the New Testament passages.I lost the recording for the first week. This episode is

To celebrate Mother’s Day, Chelsea and I talk about a struggling single mom we know who has a bunch of kids and a baby on the way trying to make ends meet.As dire circumstance after dire circumstance threatens to crush her life, we share how we felt the pull of God’s Word and necessity to give her something big and trust God with the results.See how a baby shower and some unexpected generosity lay the groundwork for opening the gospel to a strong woman in need.Scriptures Cited:Proverbs 31:17,25,27James 1:27Luke 3:10-111 John 3:17-18Isaiah 1:17; 49:15Sources Consulted:Embrace Grace***Castle Rock Women’s Healthis a pro-life and pro-women health care ministry.

Chelsea and I continue our series about the Christian revivals in American history.John Wesley was an Anglican minister from Epworth, England.

After studying with a group of Moravians, Wesley finally understood justification by faith and peace with God.Wesley and Whitefield helped each other with their new preaching method involving traveling and outdoors. Wesley preached an estimated 40,000 sermons before he passed.Wesley seemed to be a pioneer in the

I go solo this week with a short study to answer the question “Is Jesus still in the flesh?”Some who hold to Oneness theology may reason that Jesus dematerialized His resurrected, glorified body at His ascension because it makes more sense in a modalistic framework.From the Scriptures we look at three points:Did Jesus shed His resurrected body at His ascension?Is Jesus presently a mediator and intercessor at the right hand of the Father?God reconciled to man forever implies Jesus is the God-Man forever.Christ’s presence and roles now seem to demand that His resurrected body remain with Him forever.Sources Cited:“What does it mean for Jesus to be mediator?” Rosh-Pinnah Publications, December 29, 2014.Scriptures Cited:Hebrews 5:7-8Acts 2:30-361 Timothy 2:5Romans 8:34Hebrews 7:24-25Romans 8:16-17Hebrews
