Episode #21
On this week's episode, Pastors Aaron and Kevin begin their conversation by looking at Daniel chapter 5. Pastor Kevin preached on this text on 2.7.2021, and so their conversation begins there. There's a phrase we use in our English language, "The writing is on the wall," which comes from this chapter of the Bible. That phrase has commonly come to mean that impending destruction is evident. "It's obvious," you could say. But, there is another story in the New Testament where Jesus uses his handwriting to write in the sand (Luke 18). There is a woman who was caught in adultery and the Pharisees wanted to kill her because that's what their law said to do. You could say, "The writing was on the wall in her life." But, instead of condemning her, Jesus forgave her. He placed a different handwriting on her life. In this conversation, Aaron and Kevin have a practical conversation about how we have been called not to judge other people. Yet, we also, at the same time, need to call out the sin of the world when we see it. So, how do we actually do that without coming across as somehow thinking or looking like we are better than the person we're trying to help? It can be confusing. It can be hard. But, we hope this podcast episode will help. We hope you enjoy it!
