    14: Episode 14 - Wilderness Temptations
    Apr 22 2024
    The Apostle John lays out for us three categories of temptations which can lead us into sin.

    1. Things that appeal to the flesh. There are things that appeal to the physical senses and natural functions.
    2. Things that appeal to the eyes. Under here we might list things that appeal to the imagination. Things that awaken an ungodly desire in us or a covetous desire for anything that is not lawfully ours to have.
    3. Things that appeal to pride. Under this category we can list things that appeal to an ungodly sense of self worth or identity.

    These three categories are a recurring motif throughout Scripture.

    You play an important role in the body of Christ – His church. To say otherwise is to be dismissive of both His own valuation of your life and sacrifice on your behalf, but also lacking in a true acceptance of the fact that as a Christian your life is not your own. As Christians we have offered our lives in service to Him, and an important part of that continuing service is to fellow Christians. As we age, those of us who are Christians accumulate the pains of the losses which broken Christian lives bring. It is important that you do your part in both encouraging Christians to continue to move forward, and to personally strive in exercising your faith to grow and mature in Christ so that we do not fail ourselves.

    12: Episode 12 - This Generation
    Oct 15 2023
    There is war in the Middle East, and that usually means people will be making predictions concerning the return of Christ. But consider carefully that the verses of Matthew 24 are given a limited and specific timeframe by Jesus which excludes them from application to the horrors of our own time. Verse 34 is key: “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.” (Matthew 24:34 NAS95)
