Beatitudes #3 – Blessed are the Benign

Posted by npulpit on

Episode 203: Many people have a wrong idea about what meekness is – a meek man is either a limp-wristed namby-pamby or an over-the-top oober-goober syrupy gladhander. Meekness is none of this. Tune to get a better understanding what Jesus means when He says, Blessed are the meek…

Question of the Day: Does my baby need to be baptized?

Episode 194: Killing Jesus by Bill O’Reilly is currently the best-selling book in the world. While the death of Jesus is arguably the most important event in history, it necessarily points us to the resurrection. Tune in as I give a quasi-expose of Mr. O’Reilly’s book, but dig deeper to the significance of the death of Jesus.

Episode 186: So the Pope wants a new “balance” in the Catholic Church or else it will “fail” or “fall.” This is the same guy who said belief in God was optional to going to heaven, right? Tune in as I offer a Biblical perspective for Christ’s church when confronted with talk of “balance.”

Enemies of the Cross of Christ

Episode 137: “Many…walk as [the] enemies of the cross of Christ.” (Philippians 3.18). What did Paul mean when he wrote this? And what does it mean for us today? We’ve probably got some idea of what we think it means, but are we willing to confront the brutal truth contained in this passage? Tune in as I dive into this text.

Question of the Day: Was Peter the first Pope?
