A Word Fitly Spoken

Talk Back: Jennie Allen & Gather25

Today we're going to "talk back" to an online event called Gather25, created by IF:Gathering's own Jennie Allen. Why? To warn you about it so you can warn your church and your loved ones away from it, because it’s coming up very quickly: February 28 - March 1. It's an event you'll definitely want to miss.

Servanthood

Why do we often look up to Christian celebrities instead of anonymous servants? And why, when we think about finding a place of service in the local church, do we usually gravitate toward positions that will put us in the spotlight and give us recognition, rather than gravitating toward anonymous, thankless jobs? Today we're looking at the meaning of servanthood, our manner of servanthood, and our mindset and motives regarding servanthood.

Cessationism with David Lovi

Cessationism has to do with whether all of the spiritual gifts given by God to Believers that we read about in the New Testament are for Christians today. It is a controversial topic for a lot of people. Many of you may be familiar with the 2023 documentary film, Cessationist, and today we’re excited to welcome our brother who wrote and narrated Cessationist, David Lovi.

Unequally Yoked: When Christians Platform False Teachers

Recently, there have been two notable instances of theologically conservative, Reformed Christians welcoming in false teachers, introducing them to their audiences, and, by doing so, essentially giving them their seal of approval. And they’re not the only ones. This kind of thing happens all the time with high profile Christians, parachurch ministries, and churches. We'll explore the Scriptures that explain why this is a sin and harmful to Christians, the church, and the false teachers, themselves.

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.
