The Kingdom in the Midst of You!
<p>We spend so much time and effort (and rage) defending the nation. Do we ever expend such energy and passion in defending or promoting the Kingdom of God? What does that say about our faith? I know I am consistently disappointed with the balance between nation and kingdom in my life. I thought, maybe we just don't understand the Kingdom. So, in this episode I look to the Bible to answer some big questions. <strong>What is the Kingdom of God? How do we gain citizenship to this Kingdom? Once we are citizens, what is expected of us? When will all of this happen? </strong>After dealing with all of that I debunk some secular claims about citizens of the Kingdom, or maybe I agree with them...to a point. I take their shallow accusations that we are <strong>intolerant, judgmental </strong>and <strong>exclusive </strong>and I go deeper to find the truth in them. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>References</strong> <strong> </strong> </p> <p>The Bible (Various versions) </p>

What is Holding You Back?
<p>We all have things in common and things that make us different. One thing we all share, despite our denial, is a sin nature. We don't have to be taught to be mean, selfish, manipulative, or prideful. We do however need to be taught, and re-taught to be kind, generous, giving and selfless. It is not our natural state. Humanity hasn't changed in the entirety of history. From creation to grave we remain lost but aimless, curious but never satisfied. The world however, changes constantly, bending to the wills of loudest, the most prideful, rarely the kindest. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Christianity has changed too. The Reformation, the Enlightenment, Fundamentalism, the Social Gospel, Revival, Purity Culture, the Prosperity Gospel, Progressive Christianity, Christian Nationalism and so many more beliefs have had their say and taken their toll on Christians and non-Christians alike. This episode I ask, <strong>how can Christianity continue to be relevant in a world and culture that keeps changing? </strong>The answer I come up with may surprise you.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>References</strong></p> <p>Craig, William Lane; “YouTube Apologists React!”; Reasonable Faith Podcast</p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5ibHVicnJ5LmNvbS9mZWVkcy9yZWFzb25hYmxlX2ZhaXRoLnhtbA/episode/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5ibHVicnJ5LmNvbS9yZWFzb25hYmxlX2ZhaXRoLzkwMDc5MTE4L3lvdXR1YmUtYXBvbG9naXN0cy1yZWFjdC8?sa=X&ved=0CAcQkfYCahgKEwjI2Kqdq4P7AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQ2AM">Reasonable Faith Podcast - YouTube Apologists React!

Are You on the Right Road?
<p>The day-to-day life of a follower of Christ is not easy in today's world. We are mocked for our belief in one true God and His word, the Bible. We are persecuted for choosing to live by his standards in defiance of the world's religion of self. We are vilified for the sins of our brethren of the past but given no credit for the great societal accomplishments of other Christians. Jesus said that to find the Father we would have to take the narrow gate which few would choose. Did we really think there would be no opposition? As the world chooses the wide gate to destruction it demands that we abandon our faith and follow them promising us peace and tolerance and success along the way. The truth is that everything this world has to offer is temporal, ending when we shuffle off this mortal coil. What Jesus offers us, through his sacrifice on the cross, is eternal. All we have to do is repent and accept him. Once we do that, we have chosen the narrow gate but that is not the end of the story. Once through the narrow gate there is a fork in the road. This 2nd Anniversary, 50th Episode of Rise Up! discusses getting through the narrow gate and the difference between the two paths to the judgment seat. </p> <p><br></p> <p><u><strong>References</strong></u></p> <h1>Stoppe, Rhonda, “The Meaning and Purpose of the Romans Road to Salvation;” Crosswalk.com; </h1> <h1>https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/what-is-the-romans-road-to-salvation-bible-verses-and-meaning.html</h1> <p>"Eight Reasons Why Rome Fell" A&E Entertainment.</p> <p><a href="https://www.exploros.com/summary/8-Reasons-Why-Rome-Fell">8 Reasons Why Rome Fell (exploros.com)</a></p>
