Reformed PodmaticsOn Listening "Enough" to Pro-LGBTQ ArgumentsOver the past several years one common accusation levied against those in favor of the classical Christian view on sexuality is that there has not been enough listening, open inquiry, and dialogue. The feeling among many is that by settling the debate within the CRCNA through synod, conservatives have effectively silenced dissent by circumventing honest deliberation. So in this week's episode, we try to tackle this argument head on in order to help everyone think through what James means - and doesn't mean - when he says that godly wisdom is "open to reason" (James 3:17).

Waterstone Community Church PodcastPractice Resurrection (Audio)Today we honor and celebrate Larry’s final sermon at Waterstone Church. We focus on Jesus and the gift of salvation, and marvel at how grief and hope coexist, particularly in the story of Lazarus. This reminds us that, even in our darkest moments, Jesus, the God-Man, embodies compassion and promises resurrection. We are encouraged to embrace our faith, because true joy and renewal come from accepting Jesus into our lives. He is the one that guides us toward a deeper understanding of love, grace, and the assurance of eternal life.

Theologie aan de gracht#11 - Denken over de zin van dagelijks werk als brug tussen christenen en andersgelovigen met Jan van der StoepDe verbinding tussen ons geloof en ons dagelijks werk vinden we vandaag de dag niet gemakkelijk te leggen. Er is daarom al veel over geschreven. Christelijk filosoof Jan van der Stoep, hoogleraar aan de TUU en aan Wageningen University, denkt ook na over deze vraag. Voor hem is filosofie een brug tussen geloof en ongeloof, tussen kerk en wereld. Juist het doordenken van deze vraag vanuit de filosofie kan ons verder helpen. Vragen naar de zin van werk leven in de hele breedte van de samenleving. Het is de uitdaging om als christelijk denker daarbij de aansluiting te zoeken. 2025-01-2950 min

Mouw—author, theologian, and former president of Fuller Seminary—says that in a world of ridicule, Christians can still be people who honor the humanity of others.Mouw and Moore discuss political division, patriotism in worship services, and the powerful draw of specific candidates to certain demographics.

The Living Room Disciple81. How Suffering Shapes Our DiscipleshipOn This Week's Episode:
Nick and Kelsey dive into difficult yet crucial topics—suffering, death, and the challenges of living in a world full of trials. Together, they explore how Christians are formed by suffering and hope, examining the tension between acknowledging real pain and holding fast to the truth that death is not the final word. This is the introduction to a mini-series on suffering in the Christian walk, discussing how discipleship can be shaped by both suffering and joy.

圣经日日行经典版日期 241: 爱中的公正哥林多后书 1:23-2:11, 历代志下 31:2-33:20, 箴言 21:5-16, 沃特斯托夫Nicholas Wolterstorff 指出，在任何对爱的正确定义中，公正都是必不可缺的部分。 这位监狱长令人印象深刻。她是位黑人女性，热情、亲切、有感染力。人们称她“詹妮弗长官”。
在启发事工开始之前，我们团队和狱方人员进行了简短会面。詹妮弗见到我们的第一句话是：“我奉救主耶稣基督的名欢迎大家。”
詹妮弗告诉我们，美国大约有二百五十万在押囚犯，平均每个囚犯每年会花掉纳税人2万4千美元。只有3%的犯人被终身监禁，剩下的人都将在某个时刻重返社会。她接着说：“因此，即便从非信徒的角度来讲，我们也希望看到这些罪犯被改变；更何况作为基督徒，我们更希望他们得到救赎。”
这所监狱不但秉承公正，而且高举爱。当犯人有不良举动或错误态度，工作人员会从爱的角度出发，帮他们直面问题。这里的犯人在言语、态度上都显得很有教养，他们不讲粗口，不在墙上涂鸦。我们参观了男性囚室，并和犯人们座谈。几个刚刚上完启发课程的犯人分享了神带给他们的改变。
神就是爱。但神也秉承公正，在《爱中的公正》Justice in Love 一书中，尼古拉斯2024-08-2813 min

Penuntun Saat Teduh Gereja Kristen Jakarta27-11-2023 - Kesedihan Tak Terhiburkan (PST GKJ Bahasa Indonesia)Nats Alkitab : Kejadian 37:31-36
Penulis : G.I. Rinna
Banyak kesedihan yang akan dihadapi manusia dalam kehidupan. Adapun kesedihan itu beragam macam. Kehilangan menjadi hal yang menyedihkan dalam kehidupan manusia terutama oleh karena kepergian orang yang paling kita kasihi. Terkadang kepergian mereka begitu mendadak, sehingga kita masih tidak percaya bahwa itu sungguh terjadi. Ketidakpercayaan dan keraguan bahwa orang yang kita kasihi itu sudah tidak ada lagi akan menjadi bagian proses untuk menerima kenyataan dari peristiwa kehilangan. Itu yang dapat kita lihat dari Yakub tatkala diberitakan bahwa Yusuf, anak kesayangannya, telah tiada.

Re-integrateThree Things You Don't Have to Do to Be More Christian - with Dr. Phillip CaryYou're not supposed to “let God take control” of your life and work. You're not supposed to “hear God’s voice in your heart.” And, you're not supposed to be guided by God’s Holy Spirit by inner feelings of peace, intuitions, or impressions. These are three things believers have recently come to believe as being essential to being Christian. But according to our guest Phillip Cary, they are not found in the Bible and actually will cause harm – psychologically, morally, and spiritually.

We should be humbled into quietness, and not be quick to speak when we encounter suffering.” When McGowin’s mother-in-law died at 46 years-old, people tried to offer rational responses, which wasn’t helpful.
