Episode 210: Why God Hates Hypocrisy? (Part 2) - How to Diminish Hypocrisy

APPRECIATE THAT HUMAN NATURE IS INFECTED WITH HYPOCRISY All of us are prone to the sin of hypocrisy. It is part of the deceitfulness of our more selfish nature. Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Everyone including members of the true church are sinners. If we deny this truth we are further deceiving ourselves. People are prone to say one thing and often ignore their own contradictory behavior. 1 John 1:8-9 (KJV) 8 If we say that...

Episode 211: Why Does A Good God Allow Evil And Suffering?

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN USED BY ATHEISTS AND HAS CONFOUNDED MANY BELIEVERS The history of mankind is littered with a trail of evil atrocities and diseases. Many have wondered how could a loving God allow evil. They call this issue ' Theodicy'. The Bible states that when Adam rejected God to explore 'good and evil' for himself, he was ejected from paradise. Then God told him that he would live in a world of hard knocks; apparently, a world of all sorts of evil, violence, disease, disasters etc. Adam ...

COWARDS WILL NOT BE IN THE FAMILY OF GOD It is shocking but the Bible says that cowards are in with the most base sinners in being denied entry into God's Family. Take note of this surprising scripture at the very end of the God's Word. It is the latest of revelations to mankind. Note in the NKJV translation what is shockingly said. Revelation 21:8 8 "But the cowardly , unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake whi...

Episode 304 The Debt That Christianity Owes To Judaism

When people start to really study the Bible they soon realize that the New Testament is based on the Old Testament. Many of the references in the New Testament would be meaningless if we did not have the Old Testament. Furthermore, we non- Jews (gentiles), are spliced into the rich theology of Israel. No one can fully understand the New Testament without this insight.

Episode 212: The Pure Faith of Hannah and David

DELAYS IN RECEIVING ANSWERS AND BLESSINGS CAN MAKE ONE STRONGER AND GREATER If one handles the trial of delayed answers to prayer in faith they get stronger. Hannah was childless for a long time before she became a mother. We see the pattern in the Bible that women who had to wait for their sons, developed into wonderful mothers. Those sons are dedicated to God in a way that would not have happened otherwise. This is true of all the patriarch children. Look at the examples of Sarah and John the ...

God says the evidence of his creation is clear and they are being blinded by their own lusts and desires.
