    Dealing with Bad Theology - Episode 128

    "Discernment isn't knowing the difference between right and wrong, but between right and almost right." Satan doesn't lead us astray with bold lies but with partial truths. How do we recognize bad theology?  And what do we do about it? Huge thanks to Mike Bridgewater our engineer, JD Miller our musical wizard, and Mt Gilead Church our home to record. Thank YOU for listening. We pray our efforts help you focus on Jesus the author, editor, and publisher of everything worth believing in. jackandjohnpodcast.com Facebook Instagram

    Foolishness of God

    The foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom. The weakness of God is greater than man's strength. In our ever-darkening world, we need the light of God's word.

    To Be Holy

    None of us is flawless. How can we be holy? What does it mean to be holy?  We do not make ourselves holy. Jesus makes us holy.  Huge thanks to Mike Bridgewater our engineer, JD Miller our musical wizard, and Mt Gilead Church our home to record. Thank YOU for listening.

    Why We Focus on Christ

    So many things vie for our attention. Even this podcast, the ads in the sidebar, the notifications on your screen, your phone, the doorbell. So many things. When you're sinking or barely making it, it's easy to feel like you're drowning, losing ground, losing hope. Ready to give up. But God hasn't given up on you. And as long as you have breath in your lungs, he never will. He is in pursuit like a father determined to find his lost child.

    Casual Christianity

    Sharing your faith can be scary and intimidating, but for some it can be life-threatening. I'm troubled by how casual and complacent I can be in my faith, and I'm challenged when I see the faith of believers who live under threats, who live through violent assaults, legal attacks, and false imprisonment. Even more, I'm inspired by their compassion as they look beyond the hate of those who persecute them, and instead of contempt, instead of cursing, they share the love of Christ, knowing as Jesus did, that those who persecute them do not know what they are doing. They do not know the love of God, who would become flesh and blood, live among us, then take upon himself the sins of the world. I'm reminded of a song by DeGarmo & Key from the 80s. "I Don't Wanna Be a Casual Christian." Thank you for joining us. Huge thanks to Mike Bridgewater our engineer, JD Miller our musical wizard, and Mt Gilead Church our home to record.

    Gathering of Believers

    Church. That word means so many different things and brings so many different feelings. And so often, we get it wrong. In our humanity, at least in some measure, we always get it wrong. What does it really mean? What should it mean to us? How can we do our part to make it better, more meaningful, more impactful? One thing I know. We can't do it alone, and we can't do it without a firm foundation, which is Jesus, our Cornerstone and our Capstone. The Author of Life and the Architect of Creation should be the one to build the church. Not a building. Not a place. But a gathering of people with a singular focus. Jesus Christ. Thank you for joining us. Huge thanks to Mike Bridgewater our engineer, JD Miller our musical wizard, and Mt Gilead Church our home to record. Thank YOU for listening.

    Believe

    This is our 122nd episode and the story stays the same and ever changes. Our God's mercies are the same and never-failing yet they are new every morning. The day after Jesus fed thousands and walked on water, the people asked him for a sign. Wow!  I picture a meme, a face-palm emoji, someone holding a sign that reads, "You had ONE JOB." Jesus basically tells the crowd, "You're following me for the food, and you've missed the whole point. Fish and bread only last a few hours, then you've got to eat again. I'm giving bread from heaven that never ceases to satisfy." We've got one job. To believe in Jesus.

    Isaiah 26

    Sometimes God speaks to your heart when you need him most. I was restless and not sleeping due to self-doubt. When I finally surrendered to opening my eyes and giving up on sleep. I clicked on the verse of the day and read, "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock."
