In this episode, we look at Matthew 7:1, a verse that is often taken out of context to use whenever it seems convenient. The verse is talking about how we are not supposed to judge hypocritically, but many make it out to mean that Jesus is saying we must not judge at all. We look at how that isn’t true based on context clues in the verse, and we look at 2 different types of judgment that are actually commanded throughout the Bible.

In this episode, we look at a couple of pro-abortion arguments that have been made recently to get people ready to vote.

I hope this episode provides some insight as election season draws even closer, and I hope this has prepared you with your own arguments for when this topic comes your way. Thanks for listening to Talking Truth!

In today’s episode, we look at the last remaining point in Allen Webster’s tract on how we can know that the Bible is true! Not only do all 4 of these reasons provide sufficient evidence to believe in the Bible, but all 4 make it impossible! We can be confident that the Bible really is God’s inspired word, and that it is true for all of us today. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allyson-tanksley/message

In this episode of Buried Treasure, we look at a phrase that is commonly attributed to the Bible, but is actually not found in it. The phrase is, “money is the root of all evil”. But is that really what the Bible says, or is it a misunderstanding of 1st Timothy 6:10?

Just as we in America celebrated Memorial Day yesterday to honor and remember those who have passed away during their service to our Country, Christians have a special time every first day of the week (Sunday) that they remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and all the things He went through for us. Just as the brave soldiers who have died did, Jesus died for us so that we can have a chance at something better. A chance to obey the gospel and spend the rest of eternity in Heaven with Him....

Hello there, and welcome to Talking Truth! Today’s episode is a part of my 2024 podcast series, Buried Treasure! In this episode, we look at the story of Lazarus’ resurrection, as well as the next chapter where he is wanted dead by the chief priests. I think many know the story of Lazarus, but how many know that he was wanted dead? He was wanted dead because He was living proof of the great power of Jesus, and many were coming to know Jesus and believe in Him because of Lazarus’ resurrection!...

Welcome to Talking Truth! In this episode, we look at Roald Dahl, an author whose children’s books were revised because people saw them as having offensive or sensitive wording and language. We also look at Thomas Jefferson and how he created his own Bible by cutting out pages and leaving out any mention of miracles, Jesus’ divinity, or the resurrection. All this goes to show that sometimes people like to add or remove words from things they do not like. Do people today do that to the Bible?...
