FREEDOM (10 Words to Heal Our Broken World Series) 57:18

1h ago57:18

57:18

Freedom means I can do whatever I want, right? Wrong, that's a hijacked and distorted meaning. The Biblical view of freedom is "The capacity to self-govern; to act according to one's choices within God's created order and under His moral law." This matters because it gives guidance for a culture to truly maintain freedom without succumbing to human…

1:14:24

Is there such a thing as Christian art? Or are there just Christians who make great art that represents something of the nature of God? There are no Christian bagels, surgeries, or financial portfolios, so why do we expect artists in our churches to create sculptures or plays that are "Christian?" Only humans can be Christians. Let's bring freedom …

1:15:43

Humans are not merely animals or radically autonomous agents, and identity groups do not simply define us.

TRUTH (10 Words to Heal Our Broken World Series) 1:17:48

1:17:48

Truth is an internal, personal, and subjective sense of reality that exists only in the mind. It's a social construct created to advantage whatever group currently holds power.

3M ago1:13:47

1:13:47

In the fight to end abortion, changing policies is necessary, but it falls woefully short of solving the problem.

1:08:26

Do you want to experience enjoyment in this life? One of the keys is hidden in the first command given to us in Scripture in Genesis 1:28, “God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.” Did you know fructus in Latin means both “fruit” and “enjoyment”?

The men of Issachar are described in the Bible as having an understanding of their times and knowledge about what to do (1 Chronicles 12:32). This is no time to sit passively, expecting the Lord to accomplish His work apart from His people. Jesus is not only the Lamb of God; He is the Lion of Judah, the Victor, and the Dragon Slayer.

When we cross cultural borders to serve others, it is essential for us to learn when to celebrate cultural diversity and when to critique it. This can be tricky!

Fighting Shadows with Jon Tyson 1:04:16

5M ago1:04:16

1:04:16

Today, as men, we need to do more than understand the largely lost concept of biblical masculinity. We need freedom. Most men are trapped by "shadows" or lies and have a difficult time expressing vulnerability, making us familiar with the grip of isolation and loneliness. This is not the life God intended. Today, we had the honor of sitting down wi…

Christian nationalism was recently denounced by John MacArthur as a faulty viewpoint. MacArthur indicates that things will get continually worse on Earth.

Words are constantly created and redefined in our day.

The Alabama Supreme Court recently ruled that frozen embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) are children.

We have an active, working, creative God who created humanity to be like Him. As such, our daily work should be a source of meaning and purpose in our lives.
