In today’s episode (101) of One Little Candle, we’ll explore the controversial “He Gets Us” campaign, an ambitious endeavor with a staggering $100 million funding aimed at rebranding Jesus for today’s younger generations. As we wade through the narratives and outreach efforts of this movement—from its use of secular media strategies to its misrepresentation of today’s contentious societal issues—we examine: The portrayal of Jesus as cool and relatable, and the implications this has for the gospel message. The watering down of the truth and the treating of Jesus as a product in a consumer-driven culture. The implications of this rebranding effort on the church’s mission and the potential manipulation involved. The importance of not deviating from the core teachings of Jesus Christ. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned with authenticity in faith and the implications of modern marketing within the church. Tune in, engage with the conversation, and let’s keep our gospel unashamed and undiluted! Https://onelittlecandlepodcast.com

In a world consumed by materialism and self-gratification, the words of Jesus cut through the noise, calling us to reevaluate our priorities and embrace the radical demands of discipleship. This powerful message reminds us that true fulfillment can only be found in surrendering our treasures to follow Christ.

In this eye-opening episode of the Patriot Pastors Podcast, hosts Wade Lentz and Harold Smith underscore America's current moral breakdown through the lens of the Book of Romans, Chapter 1. The hosts insightfully draw parallels between the depraved state of U.S. morals and the religious decline outlined in this significant scripture. They examine societal issues like the denial of God's existence, failure to honor Him, prideful intellect, and consequent foolishness leading to idolatry. The topics discussed take an intriguing turn as the pastors address the societal acceptance of homosexuality as a symptom of divine restraint being lifted. As they delve further into the perils of idolatry, the repercussions of God withdrawing His grace come to the surface, resulting in individuals giving over to their lusts. Drawing a disturbing picture of contemporary American morals, they call attention to behaviors akin to Sodom and Gomorrah's transgressions. The hosts express deep concern over the cultural push towards accepting and sometimes praising sinful behavior. They underscore how the growing departure from traditional family values shapes a generation devoid of natural affection. However, despite the bleak scenario, the episode optimistically emphasizes the Christian faith's crucial role in helping combat these societal issues. The hosts advocate a return to God-centered living as the foundation for reversing the current moral decline, urging listeners to uphold their faith even in the face of potential persecution. This compelling episode concludes with a comforting reminder of Christ's promised eternal victory, providing the Church of Jesus Christ with a beacon of hope amidst the seeming societal downfall.

This week I look at some of the writings from the 16th Century Reformer Pierre Viret. Viret was a Swiss Reformer around the time of John Calvin, and he wrote several treatises and biblical commentaries. His works on government have been collated into a book titled The Christian and the Magistrate. What is the duty of Christian citizens? How should Christians honor rulers, even wicked ones? And how should a Christian act if he or she is in the position of a civil magistrate? The questions asked by Viret 500 years ago remain just a relevant for our culture today. As always, if you have any law/government related questions, feel free to email me at [email protected], and I will be happy to address them on the program. Thank you and God bless!

In this pivotal 100th episode, host, Rebecca Berschwinger, brings to a close the enlightening series refuting the popular yet misleading book “Soul Boom. Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution.” Standing firm in the truth of the Scriptures, she dissects the author’s vision of utopia—a world where religious boundaries blur into a unified theory which outright ignore the reality of sin and mankind’s fallen nature. The author’s idea of a world at peace sans wars, rich in cultural harmony, etc. sounds beautiful, but there’s a twist.. Rebecca concludes the dissection of “Soul Boom” with a stern yet compassionate appeal to it’s author, Rainn Wilson, fervently expressing the necessity of recognizing Jesus Christ’s role in our eternal destiny. https://onelittlecandlepodcast.com https://christianpodcastcommunity.org https://lovintruthbooks.com https://youtu.be/eLRTHgGOShQ?si=iG8Oz8bsnDIx8dqp

The Asbury Revival took place last year from February 8th through February 24th 2023. Many people believed that this revival was one for the ages and that God would do great things as a result. As a matter of fact, many people believed that this revival would have a far reaching, global impact. But, did it? Did the revival do great things, or did it fizzle out and do nothing? On this episode I examine the Asbury Revival a year later.

Taylor Swift claims to be a Christian, yet her stance on abortion and the LGBTQ proves otherwise. Unfortunately, Taylor Swift has a huge following and many of the people who follow her, listen to her music, and attend her shows profess to be Christians. This is a sad reality. Taylor Swift has become an idol to many professing believers. She’s become a god to many and is leading many down the path of destruction. Taylor Swift isn’t the only idol in this world. Many of us have an idol in our pockets. Our phones, books, kids, spouse, and more can become idols if we are not careful. We need to kill the idols in our lives, repent, and put the things of God in its proper place. #swifties #taylorswift #idol https://youtu.be/jQ4oFW39azE

This week I complete my review and response of a recent episode of the White Horse Inn concerning misunderstood passages of Scripture. In their discussion, Dr. Michael Horton, Pastor Bob Hiller, and Dr. Walter Strickland talk primarily about passages such as 2 Chronicles 7:14, and how such passages are misapplied today. While I agree with much of what they say, there are significant areas of disagreement. Once such area is whether passages that apply to the New Covenant people can be applied in any corporate sense or if they can only be applied individually. Another key area of disagreement is the meaning of “nations” in the New Testament, such as in Jesus’s command to baptize and disciple the nations. Does the word refer to the modern nation-state? If not, what does it refer to?

Abundant Life Episode 56 In this episode Saso and Ben talk about starting off 2024 on the right foot by shedding the weight of sin in order to run the race of life. Key Word Weight – The quantity of a body, ascertained by the balance; in a philosophical sense, that quality of bodies by which they tend towards the center of the earth in a line perpendicular to its surface. In short, weight is gravity, and the weight of a particular body is the amount of its gravity, or of the force with which it tends to the center. The weight of a body is in direct proportion to its quantity of matter. A ponderous mass; something heavy. – Websters 1828 Key Verse Hebrews 12:1 Kill Sin Mark 9:41-42 Mark 9:43-48 Lay Aside Hinderances Romans 12:2 Psalm 139:23-24 Romans 6:1-2, 6-8 Run with Endurance 1 Corinthians 9:25-26 Hebrews 10:36 Ephesians 4:22-24 Keep Your Eyes On the Prize (Jesus) Hebrews 12:2 1 John 2:6 1 Peter 2:21 Matthew 10:38 1 Timothy 4:7-8 1 Corinthians 9:24 Philippians 3:14 1 Corinthians 9:27
