Biblical Christians are Whole-Bible Christians. Yet there are portions of the Bible that are difficult to reconcile with Christian living. For example, how do we deal with Psalm 109? Here the Psalmist prays down judgment on his oppressors. In modern Christianity, how do we reconcile this with the ideas of true Spirit-filled kindness?

American Atheists propose another apparent contradiction. Here is what they say: “… Thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God…” — Leviticus 18:21 [In Judges, though, the tale of Jephthah, who led the Israelites against the Ammonoites (sic), is being told. Being fearful of defeat, this good religious man sought to guarantee victory by getting god firmly on his side. So he prayed to god] “… If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering” — Judges 11:30-31 [The terms were acceptable to god — remember, he is supposed to be omniscient and know the future — so he gave victory to Jephthah, and the first whatsoever that greeted him upon his glorious return was his daughter, as god surely knew would happen, if god is god. True to his vow, the general made a human sacrifice of his only child to god!] — Judges 11:29-34 [Quoted from their website here:https://www.atheists.org/activism/resources/biblical-contradictions/] Can three Christians deal with it?

What lies ahead for our nation? What lies ahead for the American church? If you're like many Christians, you have deep concern for the well-being of fellow believers in Christ and even for yourself in a nation becoming increasingly like Sodom and Gomorrah. You are not alone in thinking fearfully toward America's future. Yet, we can all take heart that though Jesus promised persecution to His people, He also promised His company, reward, and everything needed to endure it. As Sean and Patke take you through the concept of persecution and what makes it distinctly Christian, we at Theologic trust that it will correct some misunderstandings and set you on the path toward right thinking on the subject. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ cause you to stand in the evil day for His glory and the good of His people. Support the Show.

A common complaint against the scripture is the seeming difference between the God of the Old and New Testaments. It's not uncommon to hear that God is all judgment in the Old Testament and all love in the New Testament. Yet, this is an observation you might believe if you look at the Bible superficially. There are common themes from the Old Testament that point to events in the New Testament and the New Testament constantly refers back to the Old. In this month's interview, author Chris Bruno draws our attention to some of those details in the stories of the Bible. You might be surprised to note how much the Old Testament points to Jesus and the love He shows in the cross. As Chris takes you through some of those stories, may the Lord bless you to see those similarities and embrace the Bible as one whole book pointing to one God, Jesus Christ.

"It's Christ or Chaos." This is much more than a kitschy statement for a t-shirt. This has been reality since the world began. It has also become much more noticeable as we watch the decay of American society. Yet amazingly God remains in heaven offering healing and restoration to any and all who will come to Him. As Peter said in Acts 10:34-35 "I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him." Healing for a nation comes only to those who find their Creator and are healed by Him. Support the Show.
