    When Calling Jesus "Lord" Isn't Enough To Enter Heaven

    Jesus warns of the terrifying reality that many who call Him "Lord" and even perform impressive religious deeds will be rejected from the Kingdom of Heaven because they never truly knew Him. • Matthew 7:21-23 contains some of the most frightening words in the Bible: "I never knew you" • Jesus consistently presents us with choices: two gates, two paths, two types of trees, two foundations • The true test of discipleship comes when God's will conflicts with our own desires • It's possible to know about Jesus without truly knowing Him personally • RC Sproul's conversion story shows how even religious leaders can be spiritually lost • Genuine salvation requires both personal relationship with Jesus and obedience to the Father • Many assume they are Christians because they attend church or think well of Jesus • True salvation comes through repentance and faith, not religious performance • The Lord knows those who are His – we enter heaven on His terms, not ours • Jesus offers a beautiful marriage-like relationship to all who come to Him in faith Don't just think you're saved because you attend church or have done things in Jesus's name. Make sure you are born again – that Jesus is not just part of your life, but is your life. Repent of your sins and ask Him to be your personal savior.

    Embracing Jesus' Unconditional Love in Modern Moral Dilemmas: A Christian Perspective on Abortion and Grace

    Discover the transformative power of Jesus' radical love and grace as it intersects with the complexities of modern-day moral dilemmas. Our latest episode is a profound journey into the heart of Christian compassion, inspired by the "Jesus Gets Us" campaign's thought-provoking portrayal of foot washing. We delve into the Gospel of John's intimate stories of a Savior who embraced the outcast, forgave the sinner, and served the very ones who would betray him. Through these timeless narratives, we confront the challenges faced by contemporary believers, asking ourselves how we might embody this unconditional love when encountering someone exiting an abortion clinic. As we navigate the sensitive terrain of abortion, we do so with the firm conviction of evangelical Christian teachings that hold life as sacred from conception. Yet, it's not merely about beliefs but actions, as we highlight the compassionate outreach of pro-life organizations that extend a hand of support to women grappling with unplanned pregnancies. Our guest shares insights into the unwavering commitment to uphold the sanctity of both the unborn and the mother, providing care and guidance in line with Christian principles. Together, we grapple with the realities that faith in Jesus calls us to and the insistence on a love that protects, supports, and cherishes every human life.

    Historical Context in Biblical Interpretation: A Look at Colossians

    Are you ready to experience the rich tapestry of history and theology that is Paul's third missionary journey? Our episode unravels this complex narrative, shedding light on the ancient city of Colossae, its church, and the courageous message of Paul that challenged both Roman rule and religious customs. We spotlight Apaphras, a determined minister and prayer warrior, whose commitment helped disseminate the gospel from Ephesus to Colossae. Why is historical context so crucial for biblical interpretation? We plunge into this question as we study the book of Colossians, considering the intricate details of the author, the church, the people, and the circumstances surrounding its creation. As we journey through this discussion, we also reflect on the growing pressures Christians face in America today, pondering how we might react if our faith was under similar threats as those faced by the Colossians. Finally, prepare to be moved as we explore God's boundless agape love as portrayed in Paul's writings. We marvel at the complete supremacy and sufficiency of Christ, emphasizing the necessity of leaving this study with a deeper appreciation of Him. As we conclude this journey, our aim is to expand your perception of Christ, igniting a desire to seek the kingdom of God in every aspect of your life. Join us on this exploration and be forever changed.
