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. He and his brother Charles went to Oxford where John got bachelor’s and master’s degrees. While teaching at Oxford, John and Charles Wesley began the “Methodist” movement with George Whitefield.After spending two years evangelizing Native Americans in Savannah, Georgia, John Wesley returned to England wondering if he himself needed to be evangelized. 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

Chelsea and I continue from last week’s discussion as news is quickly flying over the abortion pill and abortion pill reversal.Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA. The question over the abortion pill mifepristone’s legitimacy in heads back down to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals after the Supreme Court stayed all lower decisions. Oral arguments are scheduled May 17.Bella Health and Wellness v. Weiser. The question over the abortion pill reversal in Colorado now heads up to a federal district court. Immediately after Governor Polis signed three radical abortion bills, including the infamous SB23-190 that chills pregnancy centers and bans abortion pill reversal, Bella Health and Wellness, a Catholic non-profit group of three medical clinics filed a lawsuit: Bella Health

The battle over mifepristone (part of the abortion pill regimen) is heating up!A federal district judge in Texas ruled in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA that the FDA illegally approved mifepristone in the year 2000.At the same time a judge ruled in Washington State v. FDA that, for the 17 states in the suit and D.C., mifepristone must be available as it is.The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the Texas ruling but ordered that the original, stricter requirements resume.The DOJ, the FDA, and pro-abortionists don’t like either ruling and demand mifepristone be as available as possible for medication abortions. They now appeal to the Supreme Court.Justice Alito ordered a stay on all rulings in this dispute and gave

Chelsea and I talk about the hope of the resurrection because of Christ’s resurrection.As the Apostle Paul faced trials before governments, he declared that his hope of the resurrection is why he is being accused of wrongdoing.Christians today face ridicule and opposition because of this hope that we have.The resurrection is a hope most glorious, but the world hates it because it challenges their focus on this life alone.Let’s celebrate and reflect on Resurrection Day together!

Chelsea and I conclude our coverage of Colorado’s three radical pro-abortion bills:SB23-188,SB23-189, andSB23-190.Last week the Colorado House of Representatives debated and rammed through three radical dystopian pro-abortion bills along party lines with no amendments.In short, the supporters want abortion on-demand at any time in pregnancy for any reason, and abortion providers are a new protected class of citizens virtually above the law. They want “gender-affirming care” and sterilization (yes, that word is in a bill) for anyone of any age without parental consent. They want health insurance providers to pay of all of this without any penalties or additional costs.They also want us to believe all the non-profit pregnancy centers are the great evil and that giving progesterone to save

Chelsea and I continue our coverage of Colorado’s three radical pro-abortion bills: SB23-188, SB23-189, and SB23-190.In this episode we walk through some details for the three bills and how they could destroy genuine health care in Colorado. Abortion providers become a new protected class immune from criminal charges, even if women die in their “care.” Insurance programs must specially subsidize abortions and treatment for promiscuity. Yet, pregnancy centers become the great deceptive villains, and abortion pill reversals (progesterone) must be outlawed.We play some salient clips from the Senate floor while they debated amendments to the bills. It was like pulling teeth for the opposition even to get the accusation that pregnancy centers are “fake clinics” removed from the legislative declaration

We found out last Monday evening that the Colorado legislature is ramming through a package of three radical pro-abortion bills: SB23-188, SB23-189, and SB23-190.The most dangerous and impacting to pregnancy resource centers is SB23-190: Deceptive Trade Practice Pregnancy-related Service. The language of this bill could penalize pregnancy centers for trying to advertise their services to help pregnant women in crisis. Even more devastating is a clear ban on any means of offering anything intending to reverse an abortion pill.Chelsea and I spent this last week engaged in this battle. Tuesday evening we working on Chelsea’s testimony for the judiciary committee on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday we worked on information to send out to legislators about this bill.In this episode we
