This Monday's article reading is from apologeticspress.org. Dave Miller has written a spectacular article showing how the alleged discrepancies in the gospel accounts about the interval between the death and resurrection of Jesus are just that, alleged discrepancies. Take a listen or click the link below and see how this topic is so aptly handled.  Link to the article: https://apologeticspress.org/APContent.aspx?category=13&article=5977&fbclid=IwAR1cojOFwJn0XNu_ZxmFg_OBnLpilTgJa7oVv9R81UntceGrgft5FA9Nvqs   If you like what we do and want to help out, www.patreon.com/nearchurches To email me cogitations@digitalbiblestudy.org For hundreds of good lessons on as many topics, www.digitalbiblestudy.org

about Jesus' death and resurrection (article reading) s3e103

Jesus promised His disciples peace. This peace is different than the world's peace. Does this apply to us today? If so, how do we take advantage of this peace. Take a listen and let me know what you think.  If you like what we do and want to help out, www.patreon.com/nearchurches To email me cogitations@digitalbiblestudy.org For hundreds of good lessons on as many topics, www.digitalbiblestudy.org  

about the peace ofJesus s3e102

The question of whether or not one should abstain from partaking of the Lord's Supper creeps up from time to time. It is a good question one should consider.

about partaking of the Lord's Supper unworthily s3e101

I have been noticing an interesting trend. Its seems that women are getting wise to the underlying issue of being hyper sexualized. Is our society shifting back to more modest dress?

about the awesome church s3e96

This is a followup to yesterday's podcast. I pose the question, if the local church where you are were to vanish, who would feel it more? Would the members of the local church or the community more greatly feel the loss of the local church vanishing in your community? This is a sobering question and is a good gauge of how much work the local body is doing.

about one more question s3e95

This episode is from an article published in Focus Press posing 10 questions to ask the church where you attend or, maybe more so, the church at large. For years I have been questioning our ways of doing things and calling things. Are we practicing first century Christianity? Oh, I know we have the doctrine and liturgy down right to the pattern, but are we practicing first century Christianity outside the walls of the building?  Here is the article I talk about in the episode:https://www.focuspress.org/2021/07/07/rethinking-church-10-questions/?fbclid=IwAR1A9VIORLmIl_xUbHpwxPUGefd5aVKedGvAm70uGpewTlLhl4BZfEbgBUY Here is a link to the book I mention:https://read.amazon.ca/kp/kshare?fbclid=IwAR3UY1-eG0EwMiHHqlliaJbl6ycWOhCIrP8T4v7xsjmP0JiPYzlTi0hSdXI&asin=B08BKXHF3L&id=d4uxa2cjmjbe3ayer2ytrhvmny&reshareId=DECDTSM6FP5573MXDA9Q&reshareChannel=system     If you like what we do and want to help out, www.patreon.com/nearchurches To email me cogitations@digitalbiblestudy.org For hundreds of good lessons on as many topics, www.digitalbiblestudy.org

about God's social contract s3e92 extra episode

Galatians, and much of the writing of Paul, has been hijacked by folk who twist the scriptures to teach what they want to teach. What does Paul mean when he writes,"Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh" (Galatians 3:3)? In this episode we take a look at just that.   If you like what we do and want to help out, www.patreon.com/nearchurches To email me cogitations@digitalbiblestudy.org For hundreds of good lessons on as many topics, www.digitalbiblestudy.org   

about being perfected by the law s3e92

This episode is direct from a  question posed in the We Talk Truth group. Can one fall away to the point of being outside the scope of God's grace and redeeming power? Take a listen and let me know what you think. Also, I said, Neo, when I meant, Nero.....it happens.   If you like what we do and want to help out, www.patreon.com/nearchurches To email me cogitations@digitalbiblestudy.org For hundreds of good lessons on as many topics, www.digitalbiblestudy.org       

about being unredeemable s3e91

I have been considering the issue of homosexuality and wondering if we could fix some other things if homosexuality would take care of itself or, at least, not be so much of an issue. Then, lo and behold, a member of the We Talk Truth group asked a question pretty much inline with my thoughts. So, I did a podcast episode about it. I get kind of "rambly" so listen with that in mind. Hopefully you will be edified and maybe come away with a different perspective.  If you like what we do and want to help out, www.patreon.com/nearchurches To email me cogitations@digitalbiblestudy.org For hundreds of good lessons on as many topics, www.digitalbiblestudy.org
