    The Bible in Song – Seven Days by Crystal Sea 2

    Exploring Creation and Truth Through Music Join Victoria and R.D. Fierro on Anchored by Truth as they continue their "Bible in Song" series, focusing on "Seven Days by Crystal Sea." This episode delves into the profound truths of Genesis chapter 1, exploring how the creative process described in the Bible reveals the power and purpose of an almighty God. The hosts discuss the unique ability of music to aid in learning and recall, making it an ideal medium for communicating foundational biblical truths. They break down the song's verses, offering a deeper look at the first few days of creation and revealing the scientific and theological accuracy of the biblical text. Key points from this episode include: -- The Purposeful Nature of Creation: God's initial acts of creation, from separating the waters on Day 2 to creating vegetation on Day 3, were all part of a plan to prepare the earth for man, the only creature made in His image. -- God as the Source of Light: The discussion highlights how God created light on Day 1 before creating the sun, moon, and stars on Day 4, a powerful truth that points to God as the ultimate source of all light, a concept also seen in Revelation. -- The Miracle of Water: The show explores the remarkable properties of water—its high specific heat, its ability as a super solvent, and its unique freezing behavior—all of which demonstrate a purposeful design perfectly suited to sustaining life. -- Music's Power to Communicate: The hosts emphasize how music can be used to celebrate, commemorate, and communicate biblical values, serving as a powerful tool to share the gospel and reintroduce people to the life-giving message of the Bible. Scriptures for Further Study: -- John 14:6 -- Genesis 1:6-8 -- Deuteronomy 31:6 -- Philippians 4:13 -- 1 John 1:9 -- James 1:5 -- Job 38:4-7 -- Revelation 21:23-24 -- Genesis 1:2 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 This is episode 330. +++++++ You can find more information here: http://www.crystalseabooks.com/

    The Bible in Song – Seven Days by Crystal Sea 1

    Singing the Truth: How Music Can Point Us Back to Scripture The arts and entertainment industry today often promotes ideas that are at odds with the Christian faith. In this episode of Anchored by Truth, we explore how to reclaim this powerful medium for the Kingdom of Christ through a new series called "The Bible in Song." We discuss the song "Seven Days by Crystal Sea," a musical exploration of the Genesis creation account, and delve into the theological richness of its lyrics. This conversation will challenge you to think about: -- The importance of using entertainment to counter false narratives and proclaim biblical truth. -- How the lyrics of "Seven Days" point to the profound concept of God's self-existence, power, wisdom, and perfection. -- The contrast between the biblical account of creation by a personal, loving God and the secular "big bang" theory. -- The theological implications of the angels ("morning stars") witnessing God's creation, as referenced in the book of Job. -- The idea that biblically sound music can serve as a "discussion starter," leading to deeper study and spiritual growth. Scriptures for Further Study -- Genesis 1:1-5 -- Psalm 19:1-4 -- Matthew 4:48 -- Romans 1:20 -- Job 38:4-7 This is episode 329. +++++++ You can find more information here: http://www.crystalseabooks.com/

    Paul’s Places – Part 7: Ephesians and Colossians

    Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. We’re grateful to be with you today. We are in the midst of a series on Anchored by Truth that we are calling “Paul’s Places.” By “Paul,” of course, we’re referring to the Apostle Paul who wrote at least 13 of the books out of the 27 books that comprise the New Testament. Some Bible commentators believe Paul also wrote the book of Hebrews but we cannot be certain about that because the author of the letter to the Hebrews did not name himself. In this “Paul’s Places” series we are taking a look at Paul’s letters to the churches that are identified in our Bibles by the names of the cities, or the region, to which they were sent. So far we have looked at the letters to the churches in Rome and Corinth, which are cities, and Galatia which was a Roman Province in what would be modern day Turkey. Today we’re going to look at Paul’s letters to two other churches that were located in modern-day Turkey – Ephesus and Colossae.
