In God’s Festivals, the spring Holy Days are a time of self-examination. While we might hear the admonition to examine ourselves fairly frequently, how do you go about doing that? Are there any “boots on the ground,” practical approaches? Yes, there are. Today, we share seven approaches you can use, not just during this Festival season, but any time.

Passover is a little more than a week away! As the first of God’s annual festivals and the one picturing Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for us, it has much to teach us. Join us today as we discuss five lessons we learn from this momentous day.
We mention a sermon in this week’s podcast—Mr. Gerald Weston’s sermon, “Passover Resolutions.” If you’re interested, click through to see it. It is a great message for this important time of year.

When I learned of the death of famous boxer Muhammad Ali, my mind immediately began to recall some of his most famous words and victories. Though Ali was not a Christian, one of his quotes helped me both in and beyond my academic pursuits.
Depending on the news outlet you listen to, the U.S.-Israel war against Iran is either extremely successful or doomed to failure. But while pundits and newscasters throw out analysis and predictions, we need to ask ourselves: How do we think biblically about the situation and see God’s perspective? Join us as we talk about that! (Bonus points to listeners who catch our suggestion that Europe would be wise to learn from Batman in this situation.)
In this episode, we mention Mr. Mario Hernandez’ excellent January-February 2024 Tomorrow’s World article, “The True Cause of Trouble in the Middle East!” highlighting the Persia/Edom/Amalek dynamic that so many just don’t understand.

Are they just letters to seven first-century congregations, containing general advice that applies to all of us, or are they all of that and more? In fact, the letters to the seven churches of Revelation 2 & 3 are indeed more: They represent prophesied, successive eras of the Church of God over two millennia, from the first century to end-times. On today’s podcast, we’ll look at some of the evidence.
Update: We forgot to add links to the resources we mentioned. Here you go!
Tattoos and body piercings seem to be on their way to becoming the norm in society. How do we think biblically about such things? What are the right questions to ask ourselves?

Podcast 190: Seven Tools for Self-Examination
/in Podcast/by Wallace Smith and John RobinsonIn God’s Festivals, the spring Holy Days are a time of self-examination. While we might hear the admonition to examine ourselves fairly frequently, how do you go about doing that? Are there any “boots on the ground,” practical approaches? Yes, there are. Today, we share seven approaches you can use, not just during this Festival season, but any time.
We also mention a few resources in the podcast. One is the 2023 LCN article, “How to Fast,” and the other is a new Whiteboard on the topic of fasting. We also refer to an old podcast of ours on prayer and biblical meditation (at least I think that is the one).
And we pray you all have a wonderful Sabbath and joyous start to the Spring Holy Days!

Podcast 186: Biblical Thinking on Tattoos and Piercings
/in Podcast/by Wallace Smith & John RobinsonTattoos and body piercings seem to be on their way to becoming the norm in society. How do we think biblically about such things? What are the right questions to ask ourselves?
As we mentioned on the program, we’ve addressed tattoos before—way back in our very first season. You can find that podcast here: “Episode 8: So, If Christ Has a Tattoo, Can I Get One?” And we talked about Mr. Gerald Weston’s helpful focus on the questions we need to ask ourselves here: “Episode 39: ‘Is It OK?’ Is Not Enough.”
