In this week's episode, I continue looking at the pastors known as the Black-Robed Regiment who, through their teaching and preaching, helped solidify and give a moral defense of the American War for Independence. Today I consider Samuel Stanhope Smith, who served as both a professor and President of the College of New Jersey (i.e., Princeton University) in the late 1700s and early 1800s. As such, Pastor Smith exercised an incredible influence over the founding fathers. On this episode, I go over two of his sermons: Religion Necessary to National Prosperity and Patriotism. Those sermons, along with many others, can be found in the two-volume set titled The Sermons of Samuel Stanhope Smith.

Jesus says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” In Episode 13 of Sanctify Christ as Lord, we explore what purity really means. Not perfection. Not outward performance. But an undivided heart that is honest before God and no longer negotiating terms with Him. A divided heart clouds spiritual vision, but a heart being cleansed through repentance and surrender begins to see clearly. This episode invites us to let God deal truthfully with our inner life, trusting that when our loyalties are no longer split, His presence becomes unmistakably visible. #Apologetics #SermonontheMount #Christianity #Jesus

Episode number is 240 of The Truth Response. What does it truly mean for Christians to “be fruitful and multiply” in today’s world? Is it about population growth, spiritual discipleship, or something deeper that the church has struggled to articulate clearly? In this episode, the conversation explores both the physical and spiritual dimensions of fruitfulness. The discussion addresses cultural fears, the role of family, and the call to make disciples—not just converts—while trusting God’s sovereignty over the rise and fall of cultures. Rather than measuring success by numbers alone, the focus returns to authentic faith and Spirit-formed lives. Clarity in chaos. Bringing hope to a chaotic world. This episode invites believers to think biblically, live faithfully, and embrace a holistic understanding of fruitfulness rooted in obedience, trust, and hope.

When Power Shapes Jesus (Part 1) In this episode of the Bold Apologia Podcast, we begin a careful, page-by-page examination of Chapter 2 of Bill Johnson’s “When Heaven Invades Earth.” Building on the previous episode, When Power Becomes the Measure, this conversation focuses on how a power-driven framework begins to reshape Christology itself. We examine the claim that Jesus performed miracles “not as God, but as man,” and we ask whether the biblical texts used to support that claim actually say what they’re being asked to say. Part 1 works through the first part of the chapter with direct quotations, careful exegesis, and historic Christological categories. This is not a reactionary critique, but a disciplined theological analysis that asks a simple question with serious implications: when power becomes the standard, does Scripture still govern our understanding of Jesus, or does it get reinterpreted to protect expectations? #Bethel #BillJohnson #Apologetics #SoundDoctrine #Theology #Christianity #CharismaticMovement

Recorded at the G3 Conference in Atlanta on September 22, 2023, this episode delves into the genesis and mission of End Abortion Now, a ministry birthed from a fervent desire to advocate for the sanctity of life and to proclaim the transformative power of Christ's forgiveness in the midst of such darkness.

Join us as we contemplate the implications of our faith in addressing this critical issue and the imperative of bringing the light of the gospel into the darkest corners of our communities. Takeaways: The inception of End Abortion Now was rooted in a profound love for the lost and a desire to extend the church's pro-life commitment beyond the confines of its walls.In practical evangelism, we must bring the gospel to the darkest places, such as abortion clinics, to effectively minister to those in need.The importance of equipping the local church to engage in sidewalk ministry cannot be overstated, as it is a direct response to the moral crisis of abortion.Through consistent faithfulness and the proclamation of God's Word, we can be assured that spiritual fruit will manifest, even if it remains unseen in the present moment.As we advocate against abortion, we must emphasize the need for justice and the gospel, recognizing that both the mother and the child deserve the truth of Christ's forgiveness.In our efforts to end abortion, we should engage with legislative processes, challenging local authorities to uphold Biblical justice and protect the lives of the preborn.
