A Warm Invitation to Church

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Matthew 4:19 (And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.) “I do not care if you ever darken the doors of my church.” I would often say this to folks I am sharing the gospel with. My wife Jay did not like the tone of that statement and asked me to stop saying it. Tone aside, however, I mean it. I first said it to a person who accused me of evangelizing because I want more people to come to my church so offerings can increase. Our youth pastor lamented in a recent sermon, “We invite folks to a location rather than to the Person of Jesus Christ. That captures perfectly what I have felt all along. Too often, Bible believing Christians make it a habit to invite folks to a location. I decided years ago that I will never invite anyone to church without first tryin...

Christians and Firearms

 Episode 6 

In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast we had “MD” join us to talk about firearms, the 2nd amendment, and gun ownership. Discussion about firearms has been highly politicized, ownership of weapons are at times are looked down upon, and it can also be barrier to sharing the gospel. 

We looked at some of the basics of firearms and talked a bit about the AR15, M16, and other firearms. We discussed whether it is a God-given right to own a firearm, and whether gun ownership demonstrates lack of trust in God. Furthermore, we discussed mass shootings and what can be done about them. 

We ended the episode with the only solution to mass shooting: the changing of human heart through salvation in Jesus Christ.

Salvation: By Works?

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 32 DW joined us in this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast where we discussed whether salvation is by works or by grace alone through faith alone.   We looked at a number of good works and searched the scriptures as to whether they are capable of saving us from eternal separation from a holy God. Some of the good works we looked at are: Keeping the Golden rule or the 10 Commandments Giving Money and/or Time Making Religious Pilgrimages Proselytizing Religious ceremonies Baptism and why was Jesus baptized We then explored the scriptures to determine if salvation is by grace or by faith. Are the books of James and Romans contradictory? Was Jesus proclaiming salvation by works when he declared, “I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat?”   What about the Old Testament? W...

Why Did CHAZ-CHOP Fail?

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 7 In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast we had “DW” join us to talk about CHAZ-CHOP,  and the unbelievable happenings surrounding this “protest zone.” CHOP-CHAZ went on for 3 weeks before the authorities exercised law and brought order to the zone. We looked at who is to be blamed for the rise of CHAZ-CHOP,  whether this type of insurrection is protected by the constitution, and why it ultimately failed. We ended the episode with a warning of coming judgment and the escape for the penalty of the that judgment in Jesus Christ.
