In this episode we talk about the importance of love in the life of a believer.
Other episodes referenced in this one:

  • 21. "I never knew you"
  • 24. The Gospel

Quote by Pete Scazzero: "Love really is the mark of a true and mature spirituality."
Quote by my pastor Jeff Kapusta: "Crisis reveals character."
I mentioned blueletterbible.org. I wanted to include the link to that website HERE.
Scriptures used:

  • John 13:34-35
  • John 3:16
  • Romans 13:8-10
  • Matthew 22:37-40
  • John 1:14
  • 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
  • 1 Corinthians 12:31b
  • 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
  • Galatians 5:22-23
  • 1 Corinthians 10:13
  • Proverbs 17:3
  • James 4:6
  • Matthew 23:12
  • Psalm 51:10
  • 1 John 3:1
  • Psalm 23
  • Hebrews 13:5

**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**

  • When quoting Matthew 22:37-40 I said, "And He said to them..." It is actually, "And He said to him..."
  • I said that being able to quote Scripture doesn't indicate maturity at all. I want to clarify that a little more. What I meant is that just because someone can quote Scripture doesn't mean that they are spiritually mature; however, if someone is growing in spiritual maturity, then they should also certainly be growing in biblical knowledge as well. To put it simply, just because someone can quote Scripture doesn't make them mature, but if someone is mature, then they will most likely know quite a bit of Scripture.
  • When reading 1 John 3:1, I accidentally omitted the word "to" at one point. It doesn't change the meaning, but here is the portion of the verse that I was reading, "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are."

The journal entry I mention in this episode captures the focus of the entire thing:
"I was just praying and asked the Lord for wisdom, and I think He showed me something wonderful. He’s promised to give wisdom; so, when I ask I need to truly be confident that He will give it. I can rest in that assurance. It's a guarantee! However, I’ve wanted that wisdom same day or same week. There is no guarantee of when it will come or how it will come; the guarantee is simply that it will come! Good things come to those who wait. So, if I’m asking God for wisdom in a matter and He hasn’t given it to me yet, then I just need to wait for the Lord. I shouldn’t make a move. I must not become impatient. If I don’t wait for the Lord, then I will just be doing what is right in my own eyes."

11/03/20 • 34 min

Thanks for listening! In this episode we are continuing the conversation on meditating upon the Scriptures. This episode focuses on how to do a word study.
Like I mentioned in the episode, here are some steps of doing a word study:
1) Identify the key word(s) in a verse or passage.
2) Look up the definition(s) of the word.
3) Look at other places where the same word is used in the Bible and how it is translated there.
4) Notice any passages that utilize parallelism to give further insight into the meaning of a word.
5) Now that you have the idea of how the word is defined and used elsewhere in the Bible, return to the original passage you are looking at and pay attention to the context that the word appears in. Context determines meaning.
6) Think about what you have learned constantly ("day and night"), asking the Lord to speak to you through the passage and help you to understand it.
7) Obey it in your life! Apply what you have learned and what the Lord has shown you.
I mentioned a resource that is EXCELLENT for doing such study. You can access Blue Letter Bible HERE.
**ONE CORRECTION AND ONE CLARIFICATION**
Correction: At one point I said Psalm 88. I meant Psalm 77. I corrected in the episode, but still wanted to add a note.
Clarification: I said in passing that the 10 Commandments were an example of narrative. The actual 10 Commandments are technically prose/discourse, but the account of Moses climbing the mountain and receiving the 10 Commandments is narrative.

7. Meditating on the Scriptures, Part 1

I just want to talk about the Bible

play

10/03/20 • 51 min

This episode is the first part of a conversation about meditating upon the Scriptures. In this series we will explore what the Bible has to say about biblical meditation, what it means, and discuss some tools on how to do it practically.

In this first part we discuss how one of the big things the Holy Spirit does in our lives is that He takes the Scriptures and makes them real to us. He takes what is objectively true and gives us eyes to see it as a subjective reality in our own lives. It is one thing to agree with the Bible. It is another thing entirely to believe it!

**Clarification: Around 21 minutes I say something to the effect of “The Holy Spirit will take the Scriptures and move it from here to here.” During the first “here” I was pointing to my head. During the second “here” I was pointing to my heart.**

I also went through a lot of verses in this lesson, many of which the original hearers had already spent time reading and studying; so, they were already very familiar with them. I will include the verses I discuss here as well.

Ephesians 1:15-21.
1 Corinthians 2:9-13.
2 Timothy 2:7.
Psalm 119:18.
Psalm 119:130.
Luke 24:27, 32, 45.

Near the end of the episode I mentioned that I would include some resources for anyone who wanted to learn more about the fate of the unborn/infants/young children/the severely mentally handicapped who have died.

  1. Here is a helpful article: https://www.gotquestions.org/do-babies-go-to-heaven.html

  • At one point I said “various levels of hell.” I meant to say “various levels of punishment in hell.”

I just want to talk about the Bible - 5. The solution to every problem (2 Corinthians 12:7-9)
play

08/20/20 • 38 min

In this episode we discuss how God's grace is the solution to every problem we face. The apostle Paul learned this firsthand in the passage we are focusing on today.
One quick slight correction to something I said in this episode. When I quoted Galatians 2:20, I accidentally left out the 3 little words “in the flesh.” While this didn’t affect the point I was making in any way, I desperately want the Scriptures to be quoted correctly; so, here is the correct quotation: “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

02/09/21 • 60 min

Every one of us wants peace, joy, fulfillment, etc. But what if all of those things are simply by-products of the thing we actually want?
In this episode we begin a short two-episode series called Abide. The main text for this episode is John 15:1-11. We go through the text verse by verse, and focus in on a particular key word that appears 10 times in this passage.
**CORRECTIONS**
When briefly listing out the fruit of the Spirit, I accidentally switched "gentleness" and "goodness" in the order. Obviously, this doesn't impact the meaning of the text in the least, but I still wanted to correct that.
When I was describing the events of John 12 when Mary poured perfume on Jesus' feet and wiped them with her hair, I accidentally said she wiped Jesus' hair instead of wiped His feet with her hair.
When I began describing when Jesus fed the 5,000 with the bread and the fish, I initially said that it was in John 7. It is actually in John 6. Every other time I said John 6, but the first time I accidentally said 7.
