You may be surprised to learn that there are practical steps you can take if your religious freedoms are taken away by the same people who say they are fighting for tolerance, diversity, and inclusion.

Is the God of the OT the Same God of the NT?

There’s no shortage of accusations claiming the Bible depicts a vision of two Gods: the grumpy, moody, and often volatile, curmudgeon like God of the Old Testament, and the mushy, judge free, glorified sugar daddy God of the New Testament. Is this the case? Does the Bible present a clash of the God’s? The malevolent God of the Old Testament and the benevolent God of the New Testament? Or does God suffer from a bad case of bi-bolar disorder, is he the first mental health patient, exhibiting fits of schizophrenia, or some sort of split personality disorder? Not quite. Progressive Revelation What the Bible presents is a God who reveals himself in both Testaments through progressive revelation. As the story unfolds, the revealed nature of God crystalizes, elucidating in greater…

We’re living in unprecedented times when Christians can either choose to stoop to the pressures of cultural demands or stand for the truth of Christ. Which one will you choose? This week, our friend Dr. Erwin Lutzer joins Frank to discuss the inspiration behind his two latest books titled ‘We Will Not Be Silenced: Responding Courageously to our Culture’s Assault on Christianity’ and ‘No Reason to Hide: Standing for Christ in a Collapsing Culture.’ The author of more than 50 books and former Senior Pastor of Moody Church, Dr. Lutzer, is sounding the alarm on the totalitarianism that has crept into America and why we should…

Podcast: Play in new window Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Android | iHeartRadio | Email | TuneIn | RSS Does God want everybody to be well? By the power of your faith can you abolish all sickness from your life and your loved ones’? In this midweek podcast episode, Jorge and John take a close look at the “Health and Wellness Gospel” and how it fails to embrace the whole council of Scripture. At its best, this idea has some basis in the Bible, but stretches the text beyond recognition. And at its worse, it sets people up for disappointment, disillusionment, and even deconversion. To be clear, God wants all of us well (eventually), but in the mean time, we live in a fallen world marked by sickness, death,…
