Ep 24 - Christian Nice Guy

The Daily Answer

Are Christians expected to be passive or push-overs? Are you tempted to live a small life to avoid making any mistakes? Are you opting out of leadership positions because you think that is a safer course?

Ep 23 - Sin Is So Unnecessary

The Daily Answer

We are exhorted to be blameless in Scripture, but some say we are probably sinning all the time or in error and don’t even know it. Is this true?

RENAISANCE/IGNORANCE (part 3): with Jacob Hudgins and Michael Walls

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! My conversation with Jacob Hudgins and Michael Walls went so well, I felt compelled to split our conversation into three parts instead of my usual two. If you have not checked out the first two, please do so. Here we finish up the conversation by talking about how to take something seemingly unapproachable — such as modern board games, or the gospel of Jesus — and making it a bit more palatable to the uninitiated. Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of the Citizen of

ARE Bible Study - Wine Is a Mocker

The Daily Answer

There are some audio issues in the beginning but they are fixed around the 8 minute mark. Drinking alcohol is widely accepted in the world today. Why do so many people turn to that which destroys individuals and societies? It has ravaged the home and ruined marriages. Alcohol takes lives every day. If that isn’t enough, then let’s look at what the Bible has to say about the use of alcohol in our ongoing series “Keeping My Head On Straight.” One thing is certain, we cannot be sober-minded as God commands us when we allow strong drink to influence us.

Ep 22 - Life Was Simple Then?

The Daily Answer

Was life less complicated in the past, did former generations have it easier or are we missing our current blessings? This is The Daily Answer with Mark Dunagan.

Jesus is Crucified - John 19

Jeff · Working with the Word

In part 2 of Jesus' trial, we see Pilate conflicted and indecisive until the Jews' cries touch his political nerve. Pilate gives in to save his own skin. At the cross, we see Jesus suffering excruciating agony but not giving in to save Himself. Instead, He endures to fulfill Scripture. And John writes so that we may believe, not just that it happened, but why it happened.

RENAISSANCE/IGNORANCE (part 2): with Jacob Hudgins and Michael Walls

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! “A World Lit Only by Fire” by William Manchester is an amazing look into the Renaissance — what brought it on, what made it possible, and the people at the center of it. One of the most important of those people was a German monk named Martin Luther — a man lionized by many, demonized by many others. What is the legacy that Luther left behind, and should we consider him part of the solution or part of the problem? Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of the Citizen of

S2 E63 - Head Lice & The Stigma of Sin

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail We read a news article this week from pediatricians suggesting students with lice should not be sent home, because 1) it's not really poor hygiene and 2) it can cause pyschological stress to a student because of the stigma. Um, what? So 1) Yes, parasites crawling in your hair is poor hygiene, and 2) so we just ignore the problem and let is spread because a student might get embarrassed? Wrong answer. Well...don't Christians often treat sin the same way? We try to lessen the danger of sin by classifying it as other things, calling that which is evil good or indifferent. Secondl

World Gratitude Day

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Did you know that September 21st was the 56th annual World Gratitude Day? I most certainly did not know that. I read about it. It has spiritual roots but has now been stripped of God's presence and recognition for the most part. However, it triggers the need in us all to give thanks. That is a good thing, the giving of thanks, the expression of gratitude. But what is that without God? How strong is thanks if it is not directed to One who has the power to give and restore gifts? I go through Level 3 Gratitude every single

S2 E62 - Compassion or Cover Your Ears?

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail We are getting used to a family of 5 now with the addition of our third child, and of course it is chaos but in a beautiful way. One thing our oldest two are getting used to is how much a newborn cries. On the way home the other night, they each had very different reactions to her ongoing screams in the car. My daughter, in a motherly way, was trying to talk to her sweetly and calm her down. My son? Well, he was covering his ears and telling her to "shhhh". Well...their polar opposite reactions are often the same ones that are displayed by Christians to the needs of others. Wh

ARE Bible Study - Admonishing the Unfaithful

The Daily Answer

One of the most challenging duties of a Christian is dealing with an unfaithful brother or sister. How should we react to someone who has fallen away from the Lord? How do we treat them like a brother when they are not behaving like one of God’s children? God’s word gives us specific instructions to admonish them to bring them back to God and “cover a multitude of sins.”

Jesus is Arrested, Denied, and Tried - John 18

Jeff · Working with the Word

When Jesus was arrested He was in total control of the situation and His own emotions, yet His disciples scattered in fear. One of them even denied knowing Jesus. While on trial before the Jewish priests and the Roman governor Jesus was calm and confident, yet the angry crowd shouted maliciously for Jesus' death. They even freed a convicted revolutionary in exchange for Jesus' execution. What do these remarkable contrast show us about what's really happening as these events unfold?
