Please join us as we look to what the Bible says about the idea of "Good Enough" and then the question: Who then can be saved. This was a heavy time at the table. There were tears, not to mention unrelenting thunderstorms and trains. But, the outcome was a blessing. Praise God! Be encouraged, Christian. God is at work even now.

Join us this week for a very special episode of TW&TG as we speak with Stephan and Dwayne about the 2021 Southern Baptist Convention Meeting. This may seem like a boring or "dry" topic compared to previous episodes, and granted it may not be as thought-provoking or exciting as what you've come to expect, BUT that doesn't mean that it is not important. It is very important. This is the public voice of the largest Christian organization. As the MSM put it, "The world is watching". THAT is...

Last week we spoke on the power of truth and tongue. That the tongue is a mighty tool for the ultimate good (life) and a damning force for the ultimate evil (death). Death and life is in the power of the tongue. That truth, though offensive and dangerous, must be heralded. That we are commissioned to do so, even in the face of persecution, even unto death.  We admit that this is not something that we can do on our own, but that it is in the power of the Holy Spirit, by the grace of God that...

Stephen is considered by most to be the protomartyr of the Christian faith. His message to the Sanhedrin takes up 52 verses (almost the whole of Acts 7) in which he gives a history of Israel and her disobedience to God with a heavy emphasis on Moses. He speaks to God’s glory and tells his accusers that God does not dwell only in the temple or “houses made by human hands”. He finishes by comparing those listening to their ancestors - rebellious... disobedient… and ends by admonishing them. His...

66% of Christian youth STOP attending church after the age of 18 Might I suggest that this discouraging trend is at least in part to Christian parents neglecting to get our kids engaged in church? Perhaps they’ve been involved in Sunday school, youth groups, and various church programs. Maybe they’ve attended every event offered on Sunday and Wednesday evening. But, have they engaged with the church? I’m talking about the way the Bible depicts Church engagement. Specifically, have been...

We need to understand what this means… what this grants us: to be heirs… “…we have received, not the spirit of the world, but THE SPIRIT WHICH IS OF GOD; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God” [1 Corinthians 2:12] It means that we are no longer slaves- Galatians 4:6–7 “And because we are his sons God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, so now we can rightly speak of God as our dear Father. Now we are no longer slaves, but God’s own sons…” And that we...

COVID-19 has a 98% survival rate. This is fact. It cannot be disputed. Even His Infallible Holiness Dr. Fauci and Supreme Episcopal Polity, the CDC, have signed off on this.  It is a fact. It is the law. It is indisputable. So let it be written. So let it be done. And that is WITHOUT taking into consideration that the 2% fatality rate is off by as much as 4x per the fact that EVERY SINGLE DEATH that INVOLVED a COVID-19 patient was documented as a COVID-19 death.   We (the entire world, but I...
