Leviticus 23 is a chapter that illustrates all the Holy Days of the Jews. These days had cultural and religious significance to those people. Jesus fulfilled these festivals by honoring them and fulfilling them with righteous purpose.

Jesus’s activity on the Holy Days during the narrative of the New Testament is of note. The miracles and teachings carried out around these festivals brought about great significance to His work. Should we observe the holy festival days today?

It’s been an outstanding year with great guests and excellent perspectives on what it means to go the extra mile for others.

Matthew 5:41 describes instruction from Jesus about this principle. If any would force you to go with them a mile, go with them two. Not begrudgingly, but with the mindset that you were placed in that situation to make a change. It takes perspective of heavenly thinking to take that first step.

The Bible does not promise we won’t suffer in this world. In fact, it guarantees we will suffer for our faith. Rejoice in the Lord through our sufferings, because this world has already been overcome by Jesus. That perspective and faith causes action toward others, to help them out of darkness, to break down barriers, to cause others to pause and question what’s going on.

Salvation is open to all, for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Behold, Jesus stands at the door and knocks. Will you open the door of your heart to Him?

Audio Note: One of our microphones has a slight echo in this episode. Thanks for bearing with us—despite the technical hiccup, the conversation is strong and we believe it’s worth sharing.

Christian and Biblically inspired media is on the rise, offering new ways to share faith and spark spiritual conversations. But is it actually helping people grow, or becoming a substitute for real Bible study and discipleship? In this episode, we explore the strengths and shortcomings of this trend and what role Christian media should—and shouldn’t—play in evangelism today.

Does Christian media serve as a replacement for searching the scriptures for you? Does the media you consume inspire you to pursue a perishable wreath, or the everlasting crown of life?

Give us your answers in the comments below.

There’s a difference between consequence and karma. What does the Bible say about karma, and did Jesus believe in this concept?

Looking at Job there is a concept that is explored about judgement, consequence, karma, and punishment in our experience. There is correction that God offers to the friends of Job and their opinion of how God operates. There is little cut and dry understanding to God’s judgement. It is the tendency of man to reduce God to our level.

Works based salvation is something that can corrupt our understanding of our own role in our experience after this life. The. Christian understand that we need God. We can’t self help our way to the next life. We can self help our way to be a better person! Eternal consequences rely on what Jesus did for us.

Do you ever have times where you forget to be thankful for what you have? That mindset that is fleeting is the grumbling that leads to destruction. The New Testament guides the Christian to attribute all blessings to God, and carry that thankful heart throughout your days.

Is there something that is hindering your thankfulness? Perspective can be panted with the troubles of this chaotic world. If you are in a season of thankfulness, reach out to those to lift others up in their season of trouble. If you are in a season of trial, have the openness to receive help from others.

An encouraging passage is when Saul of Tarsus, the great persecutor of the early church, was praying continually to God. Guilty of doing wrong to Jesus, Saul is not in a good state with his salvation. Ananias is told that God is listening to the continuous prayer of Saul.

What does that mean for those who are searching and trying to understand Jesus and God? If you are inspired to speak to God, that channel is always open. This should be encouraging to anyone everywhere, that their prayers will be heard.

To seek God earnestly, means He will move to open that door you are knocking on. The Bible says Jesus is standing at the door and knocks for you to open it to Him. Will you open that door to Him?

God answers our “what if” questions with a reminder of humility. Who are you to tell the powerful creator what He is to do? The divine response to these questions is to worry about yourself. Are you in a saved state with the creator? Who is the clay to say to the potter why did you make me this way?

Why would we work to disprove God’s power and authority? We don’t like the things He’s created? Maybe life is unfair and we want to blame Him rather than those who harm us? What about salvation? Shouldn’t I be the exception to the rule?
