Deep Questions with Chase Thompson:

Most Christians consider 'compromise' to be a bad and dangerous thing - and it is! when it comes to clear teachings, doctrines and commands of the Bible. On the other hand, compromising our personal opinions and convictions (those that aren't based on clear Bible teachings) might sometimes need to be done. Today we examine a couple of instances in Acts 21 where Paul and his friends might have compromised their opinions. Was this a good thing?

The most unjust thing in history happened when the perfectly innocent Jesus was nailed to a cross by sinful human hands. While on the cross, paying the price for all of the sins of humanity, Jesus was completely forsaken by His Father. Why did this horrible thing happen, and why is it wonderful for you and me?

in 167 BC a ruler named Antiochus IV Epiphanes intentionally set up a horrible thing in God's Temple in order to defile it. This was the first abomination of desolation. Jesus also looks forward to the future in Mark 13 and Matthew 24, predicting that another, even worse, abomination of desolation would come in the future. What might this be?

When teaching about the last days, Jesus mentions that a most mysterious sign of the end times: The Abomination of Desolation, which will apparently be set up in the temple of God. Join us for a two part episode that explores what this abomination might be and what it signifies.

It sure feels like God sometimes turns His back to His and stops listening to our prayers. We pray and pray, but don't sense that we've been heard, and our current crisis just seems to get worse and worse. Most Christians would say that God never abandons His children, but Psalms 10 might seem to indicate that He does...could such a thing be possible? We turn to Charles Spurgeon for some wisdom on today's question.
