Is the Eternal, Almighty God capable of communicating his mind to his creatures? This is one of the things at stake when we consider the doctrine of the clarity of Scripture. Mike & Matthew give us a few reasons to embrace it and why it is crucial to hold to it if we profess to have any message of hope for the world. They also provide a few principles to bear in mind when we disagree on the interpretation of a passage of Scripture.

Scriptures Referenced: Eph 3:3-4; 2Tim 3:14-15

PP192 Table Manners

Christian Living, Reading Challenge

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 22:29 — 41.2MB)

One of the great things about the Christian faith is how even simple, physical activities – like eating – have spiritual significance and can be done to the glory of God. But our habits at the table sometimes reveal sins that we often overlook. Let’s take a brief, honest assessment and evaluate whether we are allowing the gospel to meet our dinner plates.

Scriptures Referenced:
Prov 23:20; Ezek 16:49-50; 1Cor 6; 1Cor 10:31; Php 3:19; 1Thes 5:23; 1Tim 4:4

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.” C. S. Lewis may not have said those exact words (Mike misattributes the quote to him in this episode), but they certainly express what Lewis taught. In this third episode going through The Screwtape Letters, we explore what true humility is, how one goes about getting it, and how to receive a compliment.
