In this episode we will consider the question: “Why did Jesus have to die?” In asking this crucial question we inevitably reflect on the holiday known as “Good Friday.” On the surface, it should be very odd that we commemorate the torture and slaughter of Jesus Christ and call that day “good.” So what makes “Good Friday,” good? To answer that question we must ask the question initially poised. Only then, after considering the necessity of Christ’s death, can we reflect on Christ’s...

There is obviously nothing wrong with candy canes, christmas carols, gifts, decor, traditions, and hallmark movies (well maybe something wrong with those), but in the hullabaloo of it all, Christ is so often pushed to the peripheral corner of the day in which we celebrate His birth.  In order to examine the “spirit of Christmas” we must turn to God’s word and in doing so, we must...

In James 3, the Scripture delineates the wisdom of this world from the wisdom that is “from above.” In doing so, James reveals that the tangible fruit of true wisdom is “good deeds.” Wisdom is not so much what we know as it is the translation of applying what we know to how we live.
