Work can be frustrating. In this episode we explore the reality of vocation and we delve into the absolutely necessary reality that each of us is responsible to work...for Him, not merely for ourselves. All that we find to do should be theological in its origin and ultimate destination. Developing a theology of work protects us. It builds up our spiritual immune system and saves us from the prevailing false doctrines of the age. Come and learn about the reality o...

Being a Christian can be confusing. How are we supposed to "present our body as a living sacrifice" (Romans 12:1) at work? What happens if I'm struggling with my job or I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing for a job? What am I supposed to think about frustration over money and working hours and all that too? These are serious questions that should be talked about more. The answer to all of them is to develop a sound biblical worldview first and then apply th...

In a world of often astonishing stupidity (foolishness) we can sometimes be overwhelmed. Government officials and economists act as though $34 trillion in debt is, well, okay. School officials teach that life is ultimately an accident, not created by God, and yet wonder why depression and meaninglessness stalk our youth. Yes, foolishness is everywhere. But we shouldn't despair. The source of it is explained in the Bible and, praise the Lord, the answer to it all ...

How does Resurrection Sunday prove the truth about God? How does it change everything about your life? In this short message learn how Easter changes everything to the glory of God and what that means for your life. Nothing else does this...no other worldview or philosophy. Everything else skirts the question of death or ignores it altogether. Nothing else answers why death exists and what is done about it. Christ does. That's the whole point and powe...

Wisdom, the Bible says, makes our face shine. Bitterness, on the other hand, causes a harshness of expression. The latter is the result of living in God's world as if it's one's own. Bitterness sets in when we fight God rather than repent and follow Him. Wisdom is the antidote to frustration and bitterness in that it sees God and His Word as ultimate in life rather than oneself. But this isn't merely a thing for believers over against unbelievers. On the ...

The fact is, the world is tough. Life is tough. Sometimes things look downright bleak, don't they? Events can seem totally out of control. This is especially true when we run into apparent contradictions in life. The ungodly look like they're being blessed, but the people of faith suffer. Maybe you're there right now. If you aren't, assuredly you'll encounter a hard winter of the soul. It's for this reason that we need to take seriously ALL of w...

"Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed..." By what? Glad you asked, "...by the renewal of your mind." The Christian life is a life of joyful obedience to Christ and His word-law. This requires that we're thoughtful and willing to learn. That's the key. All Christians are students of the Lord. A disciple is a "disciplined learner." We aren't to drift along emotionally, but we're called to grow wise in the Lord. We're told t...

America is clearly in trouble. Her politics are awash in acrimony, lies, and corruption. Her media is basically an arm of the state, a propaganda machine rather than true journalists. Her social structure, shot through by sexual anarchy and the collapse of the family, is crumbling. Her wayward children, taught the lies of secular humanism and social Marxism in the schools, are suffering greatly from depression and anxiety. Confusion and drug abuse reign. What s...

A good many men these days are finding the philosophy of ancient Stoicism relevant and helpful. Indeed, in an age where masculinity is under siege, lots of men see the wisdom in it. But the thing is, what they truly need is Christ. He's the true wisdom of God. Though Seneca and Marcus Aurelius have many wise sayings, those uttering don't, in fact, answer the big questions of why and what for...in the end, it champions a form of fatalism. Christianity, on the ot...

Death and suffering can easily cause even the most faithful to struggle mightily. In this episode we discuss how Christ has actually conquered death and what this means to our temporary - yes, temporary - setbacks in this lifetime. The only thing that's truly final is His judgment of us as "righteous in Christ!" Truly knowing this, and resting in it during tough times makes all the difference in the world.
