We can all fall into the bad habit of priding ourselves in not having actually committed an outrageous sin… but the Lord is looking for something deeper. Kingdom righteousness is not only seen in avoiding the big, public, obvious offences, but in pursuing Christ’s standard from our hearts.

Scriptures Referenced: Mat 5:6, 20-37; Php 3:4-9; Jam 1:20; 1Tim 5:2

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 18:48 — 34.4MB)

When Christ calls us to be his salt and light to the world, he’s calling us to do this together. Don’t let the seeming insignificance of your little light paralyze you from being faithful in the ordinary good works the Lord has given you to do. We are to be individual and communal, radical and ordinary. Our Father providentially takes our ordinary service and adds it to that of all his people to produce a global net effect to his glory.

Scriptures Referenced: Mat 5:13-16

PP040 Salt AND Light Christians

Christian Living, Evangelism, God, Gospel, Sanctification, Testimony, World

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 18:17 — 33.5MB)

As Christians we are prone to veering into ditches. We focus on befriending the lost, but end up losing our Christian distinctiveness. So we start pursuing personal holiness, but in doing so cut off contact with the world. In his sermon on the mountain, Jesus lines our path with two rumble strips: (1) you are the salt of the earth, and (2) you are the light of the world. Together these rumble strips corral us into the radical centre–we are to be utterly separate, in close proximity to the world.

Scriptures Referenced: Mat 5:13-15; Joh 1:5, 8:12; Titus 2:14

PP039 Unity is Possible

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 21:28 — 29.5MB)

How many disagreements could be overcome if Christians really understood that their own faction and the one they are fighting with are both fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God? In this second half of Vincent Kember’s discussion on Christian unity, we consider some of the threats to unity and the way to enjoy unity. While unity is not something we can conjure, it is something we can nurture. Listen for Vincent’s three practical, concrete ways in which we can do that.

PP038 God’s Good Conspiracy in a World of Conspiracy Theories

Bible, Christ, Conspiracy, God, Goodness of God, Gospel, Trinity

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 22:58 — 31.5MB)

What are Christians to do with all the conspiracy theories swirling around? Obsess over them? Research them to death? Lose sleep over them all? The gospel teaches us to make three moves: First, we try level the playing field and see that all of us believe in at least one conspiracy theory. Second, we diagnose our heart’s attractions to conspiracy theories. Third, we go to the cross of Christ and the gospel. Learn how to overcome our fears of conspiracy theories, not by obsessing over them, but by seeing how all of them are swallowed up by the Triune God’s conspiracy for our good.

Scriptures Referenced:1Cor 2:6-10, 12; Ps 2:1-2; 1Tim 1:4; Titus 3:9

It is easy to mistake uniformity for unity, but true Christian unity isn’t dependent on wearing the same color tie or reading the same type of literature in your spare time. Biblical unity is centered on Jesus Christ. And sometimes the external differences that initially catch the eye of man can even serve to amplify true Christian unity.

When Israel was saved out of Egypt, they sang praise to God, on the banks of the Red Sea. If you have been redeemed, the Lord has put a new song in your mouth – so sing it! As people saved by the Lord, we have good reason to praise him in song. But what should we be singing?

Have you ever had a bath? Good, that’s important. But do you know what else is important? Getting your feet washed regularly.
