A Word Fitly Spoken

The Pew - December '24

It's another episode of The Pew! Not The View, The Pew! All of the joy, none of the Behar. It’s our view from the church pew on some important issues in evangelicalism. There’s a lot happening out there in the visible church, and we’ve got some interesting stories coming your way today! That’s why we do The Pew, so we can grab some of those headlines we’re seeing - oftentimes UNbiblical headlines - and talk about them biblically.

Christmas Dinner with the Sexual Sinner

With the holiday season now upon us, we thought we'd share one of our most downloaded episodes. How should a Christian relate to someone in their lives who is obviously living in sexual sin, without appearing to condone this marriage? Thankfully, God does not leave us without answers. As with every other issue in life, our thinking, our words, and our actions must be shaped by and in submission to the authority of Scripture. Not public opinion. Not political agendas. Not our own personal feelings, opinions, and experiences. Scripture.

Winter Is Coming! Are You Prepped?

It's just a few weeks away! No matter where you live, these upcoming winter months remind us that preparing for whatever comes our way in the freezing months ahead is a good thing.  Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in preparedness that it can become an idol. We have a God whose plans, whose providence, whose will is not going to be thwarted. Enjoy this throwback episode from a winter past...

Dave has graciously allowed us to bring this episode to our audience because many women follow the Beveres.

Elections and the Freedom to Choose

If thought we were going to be talking about the Doctrines of Grace, we’re sorry to disappoint you, but that’s not the kind of election and choosing we’re going to be discussing today. With the 2024 Presidential election just days away, we’re going to talk about the freedom we have in America to choose our President and other governmental leaders. We’ll talk about voting, the election, the candidates, and a Christian response no matter who wins on November 5.
