In order to get right to the point of this article, which is a call back to submission to the Scriptures and submission by the Scriptures, a few principles are in order. One of the central obligations of the church is to be holy. “But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15-16). We recognize that what God has done for us in Christ, and the giving of His Spirit, is the great act of spiritual resurrection in the heart, whereby God’s claim upon us as His people, to be a holy people, is now met with life giving power from the Spirit of God to be a holy people (Ephesians 5:1,18). Holiness is thus intrinsic to the people of God by God’s own declaration of His people as a holy people and God’s own giving of His Spirit to do so. Yet, the call for God’s people,  then, is to walk in such holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. Read more Thanks for listening! Want to support the network?

When you think of the book of Samuel; its theology, themes, and characters, you may not have given much of a consideration to Jonathan. You may not hear many Sunday sermons on Jonathan, and I understand why. Samuel is the prophet raised up by God to bring Yahweh’s word to all Israel (1 Samuel 4:1), Saul is the first anointed king (1 Samuel 10), and David, whose life takes up most of the book, typifies the Lord Jesus Christ. However, looming in the background, is an exemplary man, who truly is a model disciple. Read more Thanks for listening! Want to support the network?

Psalm 110 reads, The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit ay my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.” 2 The Lord sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies! 3 Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power, in holy garments; from the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth will be yours. 4 The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” 5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath. 6 He will execute judgement among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter chiefs over the wide earth. 7 He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore he will lift up his head. W.S. Plumer, in his commentary on the Psalms, describes the meaning of verse 7 in Psalm 110, Read more Thanks for listening! Want to support the network?

In Matthew 12:22-30 we have an account of Jesus healing a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute. After He does this, the Pharisees catch wind of it, and naturally, in Pharisaical fashion, they need to figure out a way to discredit what Jesus is doing because they are filled with envious rage. So they claim that He casts out demons by Beelsebul, the prince of demons. Now, this seems like a foolish argument, and Jesus proves it to be so. He says, “If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand” (Matthew 12:26)? Simply put, if Jesus is casting out demons by the chief demon himself, it would be self-defeating to the expansion of his own kingdom and rule over people. But He then tells them, it is not by Beelsebul that this is happening, but by the Spirit of God. He says, “But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you” (Matthew 12:28).  The kingdom of God did indeed come upon them, and us. It has entered in and has been unfolding ever since our Lord began His ministry. Now here is the interesting part; after this, he tells them what is actually happening. Jesus has bound up Satan and is plundering his goods. “How can someone enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house” (Matthew 12:29). That which has been under Satan’s control (the souls of men) is being taken back by the King of kings. Jesus is indeed the plunderer of goods.

Language shapes our reality. God spoke and it was. He then made Adam and Even to cultivate and keep the world and shape it to reflect God's glory. If we want to fight our current battles successfully then we need to reclaim language. If we have any hope of building for future generations, then we need to reclaim language. The world knows this and seek to shape it to their own image (Psalm 2:2-3). God's word needs to be brought to bear. The world needs to be shaped after the pattern and likeness God has shown us in His word.  Thanks for listening! Want to support the network?

Their doom was sure. So, without presuming upon the mercy of God, they repented. And God turned from the calamity that He was about to bring upon them. “He did it not.” Our destruction is sure, for we have saturated our soil with the blood of innocents. Let us therefore turn from our wicked ways, from the violence that is in our hands. Who can tell if God will turn away His fierce anger, that we perish not? Be warned. Be humbled. And maybe, just maybe, be spared.   Read more

With all the looming issues of our day, many Christians have sought to bolster the idea that our kids, the next generation, will be able to fight and withstand what is coming their way. While this is often said with good-hearted intentions, it is not the reality we can simply expect. We should want our kids to embrace, or any generation for that matter, the place and time they find themselves. We should want them to face whatever comes their way with courage and vigor. But have forgotten to ask one vital question, "Have we prepared them to do so?" Before running into battle, we ought to step back and ask, "Are we even prepared to fight?"

We have often heard and probably said ourselves, "I cannot forgive unless they ask for forgiveness." But is that even true? Or does this typical Christian answer reveal the hidden roots of bitterness of an unforgiving heart?  

What does.. “On earth as it is In heaven” mean for the “earth” right now? What happens when we pray for “heaven” to fill the earth?  Does it mean we want Christ’s name to be made the greatest name on earth.. because it is in heaven.. Read more ----more----

It is important that you give your pastors grace just as you would give your own husband. If your own husband wronged you in some way, I would hope that you would have a heart filled with forgiveness and love. The men that pastor the flock along with your husband are no more perfect than he is. There will be times where their faults come out. There will be times where they say something to you that you do not like, or they say it in a way that you do not like. I urge you, sisters, forgive them from the heart as though it were your own husband. Do not harbor bitterness in your heart towards your pastors.    Lastly, I would urge you to pray for them. Undoubtedly, you are praying for your own husband. Hopefully you pray for him often. Do not forget to pray for the other men along with him. They need your prayers as well. The more you pray for them, the more your heart will be inclined to do all of the things stated previously. Remember them in your prayers. Pray that you would esteem them the way you do your husband. They are your pastors. Read more ----more----

Most Christians don't think that talks of crushing their enemies and calling on God to destroy their enemies is all the loving, let alone biblical. Yet, phrases like this are found throughout the Psalms and Christians must deal with them. They must deal with the imprecatory Psalms. Are the imprecatory Psalms for Christians? While Christians have rightly adored many of the Psalms as expressions of their own heart and feelings towards God, Christians have often shied away from the imprecatory Psalms. While some ignore them altogether, others have reduced them to rudimentary expressions of religious fervor and zealotry of a by-gone era.  But is there more to the imprecatory Psalms than meets the eye? What are the imprecatory Psalms? Should Christians consider them just as authoritative and essential to Christian doctrine and life?  On this episode of Redeeming Thoughts, we flesh out how Christians ought to understand the imprecatory Psalms and if they continue to have relevance in the Christian life.  Don't miss this!

The Christian Post dropped an article recently entitled, “Lauren Daigle on homosexuality: I can’t say one way or the other if it’s a sin, ‘I am not God.’” The quote embedded in the title came from an interview the artist recently did on “The Domenick Nati Show.” Now, the quote is troubling to say the least. However, the headline is not all that shocking. Most headlines regarding Christian artists and leaders with the phrase, “What so and so says about homosexuality,” are now all too predictable. You can almost fill in the blanks for yourself. High profile figures do not make headlines for affirming the biblical and traditional understanding of human sexuality and how it relates to homosexuality. Not in today’s culture. Now, you grab the headlines of the world because you have lost grip on the Bible’s clear teaching. Read more ----more----

The news feed on social media outlets is a reminder of the great proverbial phrase, “There is nothing new under the sun.” Truly. There is nothing new. While it may seem that the world around us is collectively losing its mind, we ought to remember that the Romans were no better and that did not hinder Christians then. We ought to remember that the world will act like the world and this ought not hinder Christians now. Christ’s gospel of the kingdom was accomplishing then what it is accomplishing now. Instead of always being shocked by what the world does, we ought to think how we can speak and act in the world, a world which the worldly will not inherit, a world which has been bought by Christ, and a world that the meek will inherit.

Answer the question. What is the gospel? Seems rather simple. Yet, have we missed what the Bible says the gospel is because we have assumed rather than heard what Scripture says? The good news, no pun intended, is the gospel is simple. However, it may be more than what you think. You don't want to miss this one.  Send us your questions for our Redeeming Thoughts videos and we may just answer it on our next episode! contact@warcrymedia.com www.warcrymedia.com  

Believe it or not, the answer to this question may not be as easy as you think. While we are commanded to take the gospel to the ends of the earth, does the Bible ever command us to stop sharing the gospel to those who will not hear? Find out on our introductory episode of Redeeming Thoughts, where local pastors take questions from their people and seek to answer them biblically.

The NAR is spreading across evangelicalism like a tsunami wave and many are being taken in by its current. Though hard to define at times, the NAR has distinct theological characteristics. Moreover, it is a movement that is capturing the hearts and minds of young evangelicals and many unchurched youth. Flashy shows, loud modern music, hip pastors, and being “in tune with the Spirit” are all elements of the NAR. Yet, what separates the NAR from other seeker friendly trends in evangelicalism is its core belief that a Third Wave of the Spirit has given to the church modern day apostles and prophets to lead and guide the church. Standing on this foundation is the charismatic mania that defines NAR and its many leaders and followers. From claims of healing, prophecies, to glory clouds and God speaking personally to its leaders and followers, the NAR is an attractive appeal to younger generations who see traditional Christianity as cold and dead. Why should you be aware of the NAR? What is the NAR? What do they believe? What do they teach? Why are they so dangerous?

Yeah, we did a Valentine's Day episode. And while you may think we are banking in on a cultural holiday, we are. Valentine's a test case of what the culture thinks love looks like. Christians have a far superior love. Christ for his people is the ultimate display of love. As his disciples we are to love as he loved. By this we know we love Christ, if we keep his commandments. Yet, how often does the day to day ebb and flow of life keep us from seeing the little things as displays of love? Do we see loving Christ, keeping his commandments, loving the brethren as our great joy everyday? Have we placed loving our spouses, family and kids into a realm that is outside our Christianity?  Listen in as Jessica Osuna joins the show to discuss, what is love? And how ought we to love?  For more, please visit us at warcrymedia.com You can follows us on: Facebook  Twitter Youtube Subscribe to the show via iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify.  Love the show?
