Podcast 135: When Honoring Your Parents Seems Difficult

/in /by

God wants us to obey His commands even when they are difficult to do. And, in a broken world, even the Fifth Commandment—to honor our father and mother—can feel like a real challenge. Today, we discuss some of those challenges and how to approach them.

Also, we highlight a fantastic sermon in this episode, in which Mr. Rod McNair discusses some children with a very famous—or, perhaps, infamous—father and how they ultimately honored him. You can watch it here on YouTube: “The Surprising Legacy of the Sons of Korah.”

Podcast 134: Christ’s Return Is Not (Just) About You

/in /by

If life seems good, we might be tempted to think we’d like Christ’s return to come later instead of ASAP, maybe after we’ve “lived” a little more. But with a little perspective, it becomes clear: We have every reason to pray with sincere conviction, “Your kingdom come!” Join us as we talk about it.

Podcast 133: Help with God’s Work—TODAY!

/in /by

It’s easy to think of Jesus Christ’s commission to do the Work of God and reach the world with the truth as something other people do. But it isn’t! It’s something you and I—and everyone in God’s Church—play a role in. So today, we discuss seven very real ways you can help with God’s Work—ways you can begin helping today!

On the podcast today, we mentioned three LCN articles and an old podcast. For those interested, you can find them at the links below:

Podcast 132: Did Jesus Rise?

/in /by

If you did not believe that the Bible was the inspired word of God, would you still have cause to believe in Jesus’ resurrection? It was a real question for the Gentiles to whom Paul preached, who were unfamiliar with the Bible, and it’s a real question for many today. But if we are open to the evidence, it points to one conclusion above all others. Join us on the podcast today as we look at that evidence and ask the question, Did Jesus rise?

Podcast 131: The Battle Against First-Century Heresy Continues!

/in /by

As mainstream, mainline “Christianity” becomes popular again, it is important to be fortified with the truth—including the fact that the heresies that came to dominate nominal Christianity began long ago in the days of the Apostles themselves. Listen in as we look at what the Bible has to say about it.

The sermon referenced in today’s podcast can be found here: “Behold, a White Horse.” Also, we just recorded a Tomorrow’s World telecast by the same title that will air later this year, so keep an eye out for it!

Podcast 130: Get to Know Your Parents

/in /by

In the earliest and most formative years of our lives, our parents are our closest neighbors. Yet, if we’re not careful, the time will slip away and we will find we missed out on opportunities to really know them. Invest in that relationship early: Make an effort to get to know your parents.

In today’s podcast, we refer to a commentary written by Thomas White titled “A Little Sonder” about the sense you get that the people around you have full, rich, real lives like the one you experience moment to moment. Click here to read it.
