A Warm Invitation to Church

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.

Kyle Rittenhouse: Murderer or Self-defender?

Episode 31

In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, MD joined us in discussing the circumstances surrounding the shootings involving Kyle Rittenhouse.

Was he at a protest protected by the first amendment or was he at a riot?
What difference will that make in is trial?
Was it wise for a 17 year old to be out helping in such a volatile/hostile situation?
Were the police negligent when they drove past him?
Is there any blame to be laid at the parents’ feet?

We then looked at all the charges against Kyle Rittenhouse and offered our verdict in the court of the Removing Barriers Podcast: Innocent or guilty? Murderer or self-defender?

The episode ends like we end all others: with a clear presentation of the gospel.

The Sad State of Basic Theology (Part 1 of 3)

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds...   Episode 9 This is the first of a 3-part series on the Sad State of Basic Theology. Recently, Answers in Genesis published an article about a study conducted by Ligonier Ministries. You will be as surprised as we were at what evangelicals believe about basic doctrines of Bible. Is our culture in the state it is in because there is no difference between the saved and the unsaved? Is the doctrine of the Bible under attack because those who would defend and live by it no longer believe it? Listen to the episode for our answers. We ended the episode with the wonderful hope that can be found in fact that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and resurrected for even our littlest sins, and th

The Barrier of Experience

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... "We have also a more sure word..."—2 Peter 1:19   So many people rely on their experience more than the Word of God. The apostle Peter, however, exhorted his readers that though his firsthand experience was a reliable eyewitness account, God's Word was "more sure." The Bible is completely reliable and trustworthy. It was a brisk morning. I rapped on the door to a nice home in a newer development on the outskirts of Great Falls, Montana. A lady in her mid-thirties answered, and her husband was inside near the door as we spoke. I quickly found out they were Mormons. When I inquired as to how she thought she was "saved," she mentioned several experiences she had since becoming Mormon. I referenced the verses that make up the context in which 2 Peter 1:19 is n
