A serious look at being BIBLICAL about LEADERSHIP. This is the 2nd part in a 2 part series. The church needs godly, biblical leaders. We can’t BE that without knowing what it LOOKS like. If we aren’t careful we will adopt worldly standards for leadership but if we simply follow what scripture says we will be able to safely stand before God and give account for how we lead others.

This episode discusses why hellfire in the New Testament is associated with “the devil and his angels (Matt 25:41). Where does that idea come from? There are in fact earlier books that are the basis for this language—inside and outside the Old Testament.

What does the New Testament say about leadership really? There are simple principles that we NEED to apply in being godly leaders and in looking for godly leaders. This 2 part study will focus on the role and responsibilities of Christian leaders. You will also get info on the terms elder, bishop, deacon and pastor as we see them in the Bible.

There are over a dozen references in the Old and New Testaments to “books” in heaven. The idea of such books extends back to Sumer and Mesopotamian (“tablets of destinies”). In this episode, we trace the lineage of the idea through ancient Near Eastern e

For those who are willing to think about this issue, even from a secular standpoint we ought to see the dangers of homosexuality. It’s not an issue of hatred or stoning gays, it’s about how our support of this dangerous behavior is going to harm society. Homosexuality has become the sacred cow of the modern liberal politics. It’s high time we removed the emotional slandering that they so often engage in and dealt with the issue in a reasonable way.

Are homosexual rights civil rights? Another confusing and dangerously wrong idea refuted. Equating homosexual behavior with race is just plain wrong.

This episode focuses on Paul’s language, in 1 Cor 15 and elsewhere, about the “spiritual body” of the resurrected Jesus—a body that believers will also share.  In Pauls day, Gentiles (Greco-Roman culture) and Jews (OT) both believed that gods had bodies
