This event, foretold through the ages, is not just a cornerstone of Christian faith but the culmination of God's redemptive plan for humanity. It promises the ultimate transformation from temporal existence to eternal life, a transition that fills the soul with hope and a fervent desire to be prepared. https://open.substack.com/pub/christianitynow/p/the-everlasting-promise?r=2q6w2w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web #christianitynow #christianitytoday #christianity #gospel #jesusreturn #jesussicomming

This video explores the concept of divine justice and how it differs from human ideas of fairness, guided by scriptural insights. We begin with the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard from the Gospel of Matthew to challenge our views on fairness and highlight God's grace. The discussion then moves to the Book of Isaiah, emphasizing the gap between human and divine understanding, and the story of Job to illustrate the complexity of God's justice. The narrative stresses the importance of trusting in God's judgment, urging viewers to seek wisdom through the Bible rather than relying solely on human reasoning. It concludes by encouraging a deeper appreciation for divine justice, recognizing its foundation in mercy, love, and generosity. This video is a call to reexamine our perspectives on fairness through the teachings of the Bible, aiming to align our understanding and actions with God's perfect wisdom. #christianitynow #christianitytoday #equity #justive #godislove #fairness

Interestingly enough, Scripture records Jesus talking about wokeism in His day, it just isn't called, wokeism. The behavior is described and Jesu had some poignant things to say about this woke behavior. I hope you are edified and informed.

There has been a meme in circulation that has caused some controversy in my circle if influence...and outside of it for that matter. It purported to set forth a standard of dress for worship the implication of which is that you do not believe you are actually worshiping Jesus if you do not wear a certain style of dress. In this video we delve into this meme, the spirit behind it, and try to offer a solution to the controversy from a biblical perspective.

So many in the Lords's church are entitled. The have a misconception of who Jesus was whilst He was on earth. They pearl clutch and virtue signal and leverage their contribution and attendance against remaking the local congregation in their own image which is actually a skewed and perverted image of what they think Jesus was whilst He was on earth. Then a weak eldership will allow them to perpetuate that behavior in order to keep the peace all in the name of "not running anyone off." Tune in as we discuss this pernicious problem and hopefully find some solutions to the problem.

This is from a point made in Bible class whilst going through the book of Acts. There is a verse in the Bible that scares me. i do not mean a godly reverent respectful fear, but actually being afraid. Tune in and let me know what you think. Am I making too much of this? Let me know in the comments. #bibleverse #bibletime #churchofchrist #christinitynow #christianitytoday #christianpodcast #afraid #fearful #scared

In this episode of Cogitations, we delve into the three distinct paths people often encounter in life: the way that is unmistakably wrong, the deceptive path that seems right but leads to ruin, and the true way that is unerringly right. Drawing from the wisdom of the Bible, we explore the characteristics and outcomes of each path, offering real-world examples for clarity. Tune in to learn how discernment and biblical wisdom can guide you to make life choices that not only align with ethical principles but also lead to spiritual fulfillment. From the article: The Three Paths Distinguishing Between the Right, the Wrong, and the Seemingly Right The concept of "ways" or "paths" is a recurring motif in religious, philosophical, and ethical literature, illustrating choices we encounter in life. In the biblical context, this theme can be traced to the wisdom literature, particularly the book of Proverbs.

Feeling like you are overlooked can cause great anxiety and feelings of doubt concerning one's own self-worth. This is a natural phenomenon. The Bible can help us here. Here is a link to the article we will discuss today: https://open.substack.com/pub/christianitynow/p/being-overlooked?r=2q6w2w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web #selfworth #mindfulness #mentalhealth #selfesteem #lovethyself #godlylove #godcares #jesus #churchofchrist #christianitynow #christianitytoday #bibletime #biblepodcast #substack #christianblogger

The New Testament is replete with instances where Jesus Christ chooses to spend time with social outcasts, sinners, and so-called misfits rather than with the religious elite. This evident in his interactions with tax collectors, fishermen, and even a Samaritan woman. This poses a compelling question: why did Jesus favor these seemingly unworthy individuals over those who, by societal standards, were considered virtuous and devout? The answer lies in the contrast between self-righteousness and genuine humility, the limitations of ritualistic piety, and a broader, more inclusive vision of community and spirituality. #christianitnow #christianittoday #bibletime #bibletalk #biblepodcast #christianpodcast #churchofchrist #jesusloves
