Coffee with Alan Podcast Alan Felts

Philippians 3:19 is an interesting and weird passage that seems to indicate people were worshiping food and eating, but it has such a deeper and richer meaning that Paul is both correcting and encouraging the Way God’s Saints live this life.

Trail thoughts on "Self-Control" as a way of life from observations from Galatians 5:19-26 & 2 Peter 1:3-7. Self-Control isn't just simply stopping yourself from doing back, it's intentionally directing your life toward good. I use the analogy of a car to illustration this point. You control the car using 3 things; the steering wheel, the accelerator, and the brake. A life intentionally lived only by the brake pedal doesn't go anywhere, a life lived without the brake pedal is out of control and harmful, and a life lived without the steering wheel is a life with no direction or trajectory, so your life might end up somewhere good or off the side of a cliff.

Coffee with Alan - 6-2-22 - Israel

Over the years, I've tried to navigate thoughts and beliefs about the nature of Israel, God's covenant with them, salvation, the importance of allegiance and blessing with Israel as a Saint and as an American. In this coffee with Alan, I delve into a new-to-me perspective and biblical arguments given that I am currently holding and fleshing out the many of the implications of.

In essence; God's covenant is still very much active with Israel. He still blesses Israel, holds His covenant with Israel, and blesses people and nations who bless Israel. *Though, they are not saved nor will they participate in the resurrection to eternal life in the NEW Jerusalem unless they come to faith in the LORD Jesus Christ.

How do we conduct ourselves in this world as God’s saints? The New Covenant is all about being mindful and intentional with how we live our lives and interact with one another in the Church and with outsiders in the world around us. Love on purpose.

Having a great discussion with my friend Mindy who came to faith in Jesus a little over a year ago. Her story is such a great encouragement and reminder of God's amazing grace.

Stop being a Karen! How do we live life without getting or being so easily offended?
