More Than: Our Achievements

August 14, 2017

The best I am able to bring in my approach of God is not enough. The standard of God is perfection. Thinking we are able to meet the standard of perfection without the help of God attempts to bypass the cross. When standing on merit of what we do, our works can only be viewed as filthy rags, unfit to stand before the presence of God. Yet the message of the Gospel and of Jesus Christ seems to stand in contradiction. We are invited to approach the throne room of God with confidence. We are called into deeper and meaningful relationship with our creator and maker. We are more than even our best because of Christ who goes before us and redeems us. Our response is nothing less than full devotion to God.

Nobody Special 015: Four Ways To Keep on Sinning

August 12, 2017

Everyone panic! There is a solar eclipse coming up. Is it a sign of impending doom and judgment or just a reason that people use to consume alcohol midday. Caleb and Danny talk about the struggles of temptation and sin and consider the different ways to get out of sin. Or, we talk about how to stay in it.

Also, Game of Thrones is very popular right now, but neither of us are watching it so instead we give our various theories on how Westeros connects with the Marvel Cinematic University. Is Tyrion Lannister a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy? We are not sure, we only saw half the movie.

More Than: Our Sins

August 7, 2017

Our fear rests in knowing full well what we have done. We can try and justify our lives as good enough to have earned the blessing of God by getting defensive and zeroing in on our successes that we completely ignore our flaws, which have grown at a tremendous rate. Or we do the opposite and focus solely on our sins and paint the picture that God is merely trying to rid the world of sin and that God only sees our sin. Both of these are far from the truth.

Luke 3:21-38 A Story of Earth and Eternity

July 31, 2017

John The Baptist had sought to prepare the hearts and minds of those in the world for the coming of the Savior. With the birth of Jesus the stage was set for the work of the Messiah. 30 years into the His life, the ministry of Jesus Christ was inaugurated by His baptism. At the outset, Luke clearly lays out the mission and direction of Jesus Christ. Luke shows where Christ stood in the grand scheme of eternity and the biblical narrative. As the Spirit of God descends on Jesus, in the physical form of a dove, the Father voice commandingly booms from heaven. The fullness of God, all three persons of the Trinity have converged in this moment to rescue mankind.

Nobody Special 014 Trump, The Military, and Breath of the Wild

July 28, 2017

Much to Daniel’s dismay, Caleb decided we should talk about the tweets from President Trump on Transgenders in the Military. We discuss the string of tweets that are not public policy but earned public outcry. And we try and get horrible off topic doing it. Maybe with Hamilton. Maybe with Breath of the Wild. But we seek to find God in the midst of current events even when its difficult. Don’t tweet public policy folks.

Pariah: Persecuted For Your Faith

July 24, 2017

Jesus Christ is an allergy to the earthly desire. When two incompatible things compete with one another, only one can remain. The other will be destroyed or leave. When we put our faith in Jesus Christ, we are not immune from the same persecution he faced. While the world makes us a Pariah for following Christ, we Yet, we can take heart and hold to the confidence rooted in our allegiance with the God who is victorious.

Pariah: Places Your Friends Won't Take You

Pariah: Places Your Friends Wont Bring You

July 17, 2017

When two things are yoked together, they direct the path of the other one. This only works when the two are moving in unison together. When they are not, it is a source of conflict and tension as the two cannot go in different directions. For the believer and the unbeliever, our flesh still craves to go the direction of sin, running counter to our new life.

Nobody Special 013 Indiana Jones Works for Hobby Lobby

July 14, 2017

We look at everything going on with Hobby Lobby and their mishapventures in accidentally smuggling artifacts. Pobody’s Nerfect! Also Eugene Peterson blew up our Facebook and twitter feed this week so we look at the nature of sin and homosexuality.

Pariah: The Old Life Is Gone

July 10, 2017

Hope sustains us during the times we feel like a Pariah. For all the effort that churches put into branding, messaging, and all the other accoutrements, 1 Corinthians 13 makes it abundantly clear that only three things remain; faith, hope, and love. There are the foundation of our salvation and of the Gospel.
