Divorce is a legitimate fashionable thing to do, particularly in women's circles. Listen to what may be some surprising statistics on the steadily high climbing number of women who divorce. Obligation, duty, and covenant certainly doesn't matter any more. Divorce today for a growing number of women looks more like a real estate transaction, fostering a dog, or hiring temp employees. As ridiculous as this approach to marriage is, the Bible has something to say about what may really be happening beneath the surface at the heart level.

Four plus four equals eight. That is absolutely always and forever true for everyone, right? Yes, but regardless of how true it is, there are some people don't want to hear it and refuse to accept it simply because it is true. Truth has become the sound of scratching a chalkboard or the buzzing of a bumble bee close to the ear for most people today, including Christians. Did you know that Biblical truth is now actually and primarily rejected by the majority of those who go to church, claim Jesus, and belong to a community group? Truth is blasphemous to Christians today. Don't take my word for it. The Bible speaks very clearly on this issue. Your pastor, church, or perhaps even you and what you claim to believe in may be challenged by God's word.

The battle of the sexes continues to be strong in the world. Nowadays , it is just as strong in the church. But why? Did God create males and females differently in value and worth? Do women have value according to the God of the Bible? Should women battle men in Christianity too?

Another one bites the dust. Sherron Moore, a seemingly great strong man at one point has fallen to the desires of his flesh. But is it possible that his assistant had a role in this? Did his own wife foster methods that chipped away at this man? Hear what the Bible says about the sexual activity that could have been happening behind the scenes.

Parents are responsible for their children. Period. This is a clear global understanding in humanity. What if I told you that parents agree with this until the spirituality of their children comes up. American families have gradually come to the position that the church is responsible for the spirituality of their children and nothing else. In other words, parents want autonomy on things like letting their children date, giving their children smartphones at 6 years old, etc. These same parents pass the spiritual buck of their children on to the church. Is this what God says is suppose to happen between parents with their children and the church? Is there any way God can still be glorified and churches can still foster methods that help parents with the spirituality of their own children successfully, rather than keep the drum beating to the current methods that continue to fail miserably?

Sunday school. Youth church. Awana. These in and of themselves are not bad. The intent behind these is also not bad. Sadly, and unfortunately, research shows that these do not produce multitudes who decide to follow Jesus. Instead, the majority of youth involved in these efforts become godless and spiritually disinterested before graduating high school. Disagree? Curious? Consider the truth of the spirituality taking place behind the scenes in most churches, parents, and youth that produces humans void of morality, that is, holiness and righteousness according to the Bible.

There really is absolutely nothing "new" under the sun. Religion is no exception either. Before the apostles, before Jesus Christ walked the earth, and even before the prophet Isaiah, God knew there would be people who would claim to speak for him. Catholics claim they are the true church. Islam claims the God of the Bible is really Allah and Muhammad is his prophet. Mormons claim another testament of Jesus Christ. Jehovah's Witness claim another gospel and the new world translation bible. Who one is telling the truth? Can they all be true? Was God in the dark on this or did He put in His word how anyone can know at anytime who speaks for Him and who doesn't? Is it possible to know for certain what comes from God and what does not?

Sports, entertainment, and news are saturated with black people coming from urban contexts. Urban is a word that has been associated with Black culture. Why? What is urban and what about this context has influenced black people? What are the spiritual identifiers contributing to the landscape of urban America? How important is music to black people and how does it influence its values? Hear the continuation of the previous episode and learn what the identifiers are with what shapes this culture with the lid of this specific darkness taken off.
