Episode 12: Law Vs Grace
August 6th, 2018 | 1 hr 39 mins
abraham, christian, deeds, end times, enmity, ephesians, flesh, galatians, gentiles, grace, high priest, holy of holies, israel, jerusalem, jews, judah, law, matthew 5, middle east, new covenant, obsolete, offspring, old covenant, pharisee, righteousness, romans, sacrifice, sacrifices, salvation, sanctuary, seed, shadow and copy, spiritual israel, superior ministry, tabernacle, the promise, unequally yoked, works, worship
In Matthew 5:13 Jesus says “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. The lines between the law and grace, not unlike 2000 years ago when Paul addressed this in his letter to the Galatians, may be equally as blurred, if not more so, for much of the church today, thus creating a hybrid Christian faith, if you will, that has become dangerously close to losing its saltiness.

Episode 10: A Samaritan You Say?
July 4th, 2018 | 1 hr 30 mins
2 greatest commandments, apostasy, bride, church, civil rights, compassion, covenant of grace, deacons, deliverance, do unto others, donkey, elders, faith, golden rule, good samaritan, gospel, inn, inn keeper, jericho road, jerusalem, levite, love your neighbor, marriage, mercy, parable of the good samaritan, pastors, priest, racism, redemption, restoration, robbers, salvation, serve, serve and not be served, thieves, worship, worship service
Based on the parable of "The Good Samaritan" this is a companion episode to "Racism, Faith and Worship, Oh My!" If Jesus were giving this parable today who would he have passing by on the other side of the road? Who would he have representing himself, instead of the Samaritan? According to this parable much of who we think of, today, as being the "evangelical church and her leadership, is really not all that different than Israel's leadership was when Jesus first recited this parable to the "expert in the law."
