We cover Michael's imaginary friend, the Libertarians crippling themselves again, Christian bands that aren't Christian, the Resurrection to come, and what's left of the kitchen sink!

We drop in on Paul in Acts 17. We talk briefly about his witnessing pattern. We look at a recent podcast comment and reference the Catholic Church preparing to make a statement on apparitions... again. We note that many pagan beliefs are distortions of true doctrine and biblical history. Because of this, ironically, some professed Christians who attack certain pagan beliefs fail to see their own pagan beliefs and fail to distinguish biblical truth that may be present, although distorted (as Paul does in Acts 17).

We revisit the Sermon on the Mount again and the call to give to whomever asks of you. Oddly, I've been asking Red Letter Christians to help with my medical bills for years! But like many other red letters, they don't seem to feel compelled by those.We also look at a chart created by Replacement Theology adherents to try and prove that the "church" is some sort of "New Israel." But the chart is great jumping off point to help us see that the gospels and and the Acts age are based on the earthly hope of the earthly people, Israel!

Something heard in the corridors of many a church (of almost any stripe) is "the Sermon on the Mount is my religion" or similar. Obviously, I think that's nonsense (just as the Red Letter Christians don't actually follow the Red Letters). But whatever position we take on any theological issue, it must be CONSISTENT. If you think your church is an "Acts Church," do you follow the patterns of Acts 2, Acts 4, Acts 15, Acts 21, Acts 26, etc.? If not, why not?If you believe the Sermon on the Mount and the "Lord's Prayer" are for you, do you (or your church) teach every jot and tittle of that address? Do you follow its directions? If not, why not? We must try, recognizing our limited intellects and corrupting flesh, to be as consistent as we can while being willing to change when study leads us to change.

When we think about the many warnings and judgments in scripture, we tend to think of unbelievers. Well, the only warning we have for them is that the wages of sin is death and if they are not reconciled to God through Christ (who is already reconciled to them through Christ), they will not see life (resurrection). We again must consider the differences in hopes and callings. New Jerusalem, etc.

Hus, Tyndale, Wycliffe, Luther, and countless thousands of others are rolling over in their graves seeing what the world calls "Evangelicals" and "Protestant" Christianity today swooning over right wing commentators and personalities entering into the Catholic Church. The doctrine of Christ's fully accomplished and completed work for which thousands have paid with their lives to defend has been cast aside for the Christian virtue signaling of embracing all things Catholic and Orthodox (as they still condemn you in their doctrines).While that falling away is occurring, much of Evangelical Christianity has tossed aside any semblance of values or consistency to embrace Donald Trump.I've been mocked, scorned, and even banned on right wing sites for merely quoting (QUOTING, mind you) the doctrines of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches or statements by Donald Trump.We could be seeing the end times apostacy (or apostasy, your choice) forming. Evil on the Left. Evil on the Right. And the work of Christ and his preeminence thrust aside as men seek power and glory and honor.

Caitlin Clark is going to cash in on endorsements. More power to her! Love to see any semblance of capitalism left. But her WNBA contract, much to the chagrin of feminists, will not be anywhere near an NBA top pick salary. Love to see any semblance of capitalism left. Yet I don't see feminists filling WNBA arenas, paying NBA prices, or watching the WNBA in any significant numbers to make a difference. America is an empire in decline and one of the major reason is economic ignorance. This one has the opening intro sound!

We wander around the call to Godliness in this age and apply it, not only to our lives, but to our doctrines as well. We also look at the political landscape and lament the dearth of Godliness in our leaders. Not only do we have leaders devoid of Godliness, we are led by many vile people. And, sadly, despite their vile attributes, they have managed to gain the undying loyalty of many professed believers.

The Amherst-Pelham Regional District recently ran into its own bullhorn when a trans middle school child was cruelly harassed by fellow students and then approached by staff members with Bible verses. The problem? The harassers and the proselytizers were from another superior group, blacks and Hispanics. What's a good Progressive to do? Can't punish anybody because "restorative justice" and "it's their culture." I'm gonna assume this is somehow my fault. Sorry! We also tackle what I think is the responsibility of the Christian in the workplace.

We clarify and exalt the finished work of the Savior. Not only did the Lord die in our place, He went to the grave and did not decay! He then rose gloriously to show us what lies ahead for those resting in that perfect work. But that perfect work is under assault, and most often and most directly, by those claiming to be Christians. Along the way, I discuss briefly why I don't do "church calendars." Where do we find guidelines for the current age? In Adam We All Die (Audio) https://www.spreaker.com/episode/in-adam-we-die-in-christ-we-are-made-alive--52452666 How Are We Deceived?
