RBP 18: Racial Relations and the Church

12/12/20 • 85 min

Episode 18

In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we sat down with Dr. Michael Baldwin to discuss the racial past of the U.S. and how the church handled the issue.

As a Bible believing Christian, Dr. Baldwin found no pleasure in some of the hard things he had to say, but they needed to be said in order to expose the hurt and the racial tensions of the past, and to promote healing for the present.

Conversations matter! Some of the things that were said in this podcast were difficult things to say, but we can no longer sweep these things under the rug. The chickens have come home to roost. While the church may have failed to biblically handle the racial divide of the past, we can do a better job of handling our current day issues. Let’s talk about these things in our churches and among God’s people with the love of Christ ruling the conversation.

Without conversation, change will not happen, and without action, love and understanding will not be shown. Give this episode a listen. Racial reconciliation occurred in Christ, so let’s walk in it.

RBP 17: The Great god Entertainment

Episode 17

In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we sat down with Evangelist David Sommerdorf to discuss the great god Entertainment. Entertainment has silently replace Christ in the life of Christians and has become an idol in today’s culture.

Is it ok to watch whatever content that is produced? What principles should we follow when deciding whether the content we are about to consume is wholesome? Is the Bible silent on these issues? Listen as brother Dave eloquently expounds on the Word of God and offers biblical principles on how we should address entertainment in our lives.

We ended the episode with counsel from the Bible on how we can slay the god of entertainment in our lives, and a clear presentation of the gospel for those who are lost.

Ten principles of the Word of God:

Appearance - 1 Thessalonians 5:22
Simplicity - Romans 16:19
Conformity - Romans 12:2
Provision - Romans 13:14
Stumbling-Block - Romans 14:13
Sincerity - Colossians 3:23
Glorification - 1 Corinthians 10:31
Thankfulness - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Practical - Colossians 2:6
Redemption - Ephesians 5:16: Does it redeem the time or waste it?

RBP 19: "Interracial" Marriage

Episode 19

The subject of “interracial” marriage has been a sore thumb in Christendom for many years now. Is the Bible silent in this area? Is it unbiblical or sinful for people of different ethnicities to marry? We sat down with Sam and Allissa to discuss their unique perspectives on the issue.

Colloquially, Sam is black and Allissa is white. They have been married for a number of years now and have 3 children. Learn more about their “interracial” marriage, their views on Loving v.s. Virginia, and their opinion on the past BJU rule against interracial dating.

We ended the episode both with a plea for the church to be at the forefront of these issues and with the a presentation of the gospel — the same gospel that removes all racial issues and places us all united at the foot of the cross.

**There are some audio quality issues in this episode, but the content is good so I wanted to put it out there anyway.
