Is Your God Too Small
06/10/2024 Duración: 23minTheology is a multi-colored cat to be sure. Many don't believe there is a God at all. While others believe there is a God but don't believe He really has anything to do with them or this world, or even cares. So, with so many versions of God out there, who's got the real God?

The Theology Trap
23/09/2024 Duración: 21minThis is going to sound odd since I have a degree in theology, but I think theology can be a complete hinderance to a believer's spiritual growth.

The Secrets of God
18/08/2024 Duración: 20minI try to glean good stuff from YouTube for educational purposes. However, I often run into someone who is advertising they know "The Secrets of God" or "A Secret of God".

Christians and Jews
16/08/2024 Duración: 35minThere are many who call themselves Christians who chose to willfully malign and push evil against Jews in general. In fact, Anti-Semitism is at an all-time high because of people who believe they have a grip on Israel and the Jewish people in general. In my experience, most non-Jewish people I've met won't know a Torah scroll if it hit them in the head. And yet, they'd like to pass judgement on something they know little about.

End of Days, Or Just New Ways?
30/07/2024 Duración: 33minThe Dark Ages have alot in common with the world we live in today and I don't believe that is an accident. Many people want to tell themselves and Jesus is returning right away. However, Paul believed that too and look how long ago that was. To be sure, I believe in the return of Jesus the Messiah and his physical reign on this earth. But Jesus said himself that no one knows when he is returning, not even him. It's up to The Father. So, what if this isn't the end but just a time of really bad mojo all over the world? Here are some thoughts... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
