35:28

Jesus said in John 10:18 that He had the power to not only lay his life down but He also had the power to take His life back up again! Many religious, spiritual, powerful, popular, influential people have made claims of great power but none have ever or will ever have the power to resurrect themselves!

A NEEDLE? A CAMEL? A GATE? Matthew 19:16 - 26 21:50

2M ago21:50

21:50

The Bible DOES NOT CONTAIN MYTHS! However, there are some myths that have developed which are attributed to, or related to, the Bible. These myths have developed as a result of misunderstanding, preconceived notions, assumptions, and cultural influences. For example: the "eye of the needle" refers literally and specifically to a small door in a lar…

22:08

Everyone experiences tragedies, difficulties, upsets, and overwhelming heartaches that are overwhelming and devastating, and in those times, some of the greatest questions that we struggle with are: "Where is God in all of this?

3M ago11:13

11:13

Spiritual warfare is real and Satan and his demonic horde are powerful, so when it comes to passages involving Satan it is important to understand what the bible actually says and... what it doesn't say!By Ron

3M ago59:01

59:01

In this first episode for 2024, we discuss a slightly different article: Matthew Wilcoxen's own ‘The Bible is not “like any other book”’: Katherine Sonderegger and the Bible as Vestigium Trinitatis' (IJST, September 2023).

Sorry, but NO! Psalm 46:5 In the midts of... HER? This Doesn't Mean That! 10:57

3M ago10:57

10:57

Women's ministries are critically import, essential, and much needed... however, this verse has nothing to do with women's ministries in any way! The use of feminine personal pronouns in this verse do not mean that this verse is refer to women or women's ministries and to use this verse in that way is to take this verse completely out of the obviou…

I Corinthians 10:13 God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle! This Doesn't Mean That! 19:31

4M ago19:31

19:31

This verse is often taken out of context in an attempt to bring comfort, hope, and encouragement to those who are going through difficult times in life due to health, finances, relationships, or any of as number of difficulties that seem to continually be a part of life. As important as seeking to encourage others is, this verse isn't dealing with …

Psalm 37:4 God Will Give You the Desires of Your Heart? This Doesn't Mean That! 13:59

5M ago13:59

13:59

This verse is often (not always) presented in a manner that implies "God will give you what you want," and that is far from the contextual meaning of this particular phrase that is so often taken out of context. God does bless and shower good gifts into our lives but this verse isn't about us receiving "things" from him!…

I Can Do All Things! Philippians 4:13 This Doesn't Mean That! 15:15

5M ago15:15

15:15

This verse is often used as a self-improvement slogan, a motivational-mantra, a positive thinking proclamation... none of which fit the actual context of the passage where this verse is found. In this short episode we take a look and discover what "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" actually means in it's context and what we can…

Please listen to the entire episode to fully understand my view of the importance of attending and serving in a local church! Hebrews 10:25 is often used to address or even confront someone who "missed" church on Sunday or perhaps a couple of Sunday's. But is that what this verse is actually addressing? Please listen to the entire episode!…

Answers to Your Bible Questions! FREEMASONRY! 18:55

5M ago18:55

18:55

Many involved in Freemasonry claim that it is not a religion but rather a secret society, a fraternal club, or private organization focused on doing "good," some even claim that it is "Christian!" But is that completely accurate? The clear and abundant evidence seems to point to the fact that "Freemasonry" is a religion, but it isn't Christian, and…

23:08

Many people say that they "believe" in Jesus, but is what they mean by "believe" and what the Bible means the same? In this video we take a look at the Biblical "contextual" meaning of the words "believe" and "faith." "Believing faith" produces a changing life!By Ron

By His Stripes You Are Healed! Isaiah 53:4 - 6 This Doesn't Mean That! 13:40

6M ago13:40

13:40

Does Isaiah 53:5 refer to or imply physical healing in the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus? Does the word "healed" in the Bible always mean a physical healing? This is another verse that is often used out of context and much debated. This short study looks at how the context surrounding "by His stripes you are healed" helps us to accurately unders…

Israel at War! Part 2 20:27

6M ago20:27

20:27

Yet again another war has broken out in the Middle East involving Israel. Why is this region seemingly always in the state of perpetual hostility?

Back in 2003 the American theologian Robert W. Jenson (1930-2017) delivered the F.D. Maurice Lectures at King's College, London.

Binding Satan? Really? Matthew 18:18 & 16:19 This Doesn't Mean That! 11:07

7M ago11:07

11:07

This is another Bible verse that is often taken completely out of it's context and made to mean something entirely different than what it actually means. While Satan and spiritual warfare are a reality the Bible nowhere instructs believers to "bind Satan." A look at the context of the passages makes it very clear as to what "binding and loosing" me…

Don't Judge Me! Matthew 7:1 This Doesn't Mean That! 20:49

7M ago20:49

20:49

This verse is often taken out of context and used as a defense against any confrontation or criticism about any aspect of a person's life. Christians and non-Christians alike misquote and misapply this verse in an attempt to escape or avoid accountability and responsibility for choices, decisions, views, conduct, and behaviors that do not reflect B…
