A pastor presents Solomon as a model of godly husbandhood and a picture of Christ. But what about Solomon's 700 wives and 300 concubines? We examine a sermon on Song of Solomon 3, challenge its interpretation, and ask whether the preacher's beautiful picture ignores some very uncomfortable biblical facts.

This sermon explores Psalm 2 as a Messianic psalm that reveals the conflict between the nations' rebellion and God's sovereign response. The message identifies the central tension as the world's futile plotting against the Lord and His anointed, contrasted with the Father's laughter and the installation of Christ as the eternal King on Zion. It affirms the doctrine of Christ's eternal sonship, explaining that the Father's declaration of the Son is an unchanging decree that predates creation. The preacher calls the audience to recognize their position in this cosmic drama, urging them to make themselves wise by submitting to Christ's authority. The final appeal is a warning to those who reject the King and a comfort to those who take refuge in Him, emphasizing that salvation is found only in embracing the Son.

It details the speaker's upbringing in secular Rhodesia, highlighting numerous instances of divine preservation that led to a profound conviction of sin and a public commitment to Christ. The narrative transitions to the establishment of Frontline Fellowship, a mission dedicated to supporting persecuted Christians in war zones and restricted access areas, drawing on the speaker's background in the South African army and Cold War conflicts. Key theological themes include the reality of the Resurrection, the sufficiency of Christ's grace, and the urgency of sharing the Word in hostile environments. The tone is testimonial and instructional, emphasizing the transformative power of the gospel and the call to serve in the 'frontline' of spiritual warfare.

With Election Day just two weeks away, we must be fully cognizant that life vs death, pro-life vs. pro-abortion is on the ballot. Those we elect to office and the ideals they hold will determine what type of policies advance, one to protect life, another to take life. Furthermore, a number of states have a referendum question on the ballot, a constitutional amendment which some states are seeking to enshrine abortion in their state constitution. Jim quoted from an article from LifeNews.com dated October 14, 2026. The article states, "House Democrats' health care working group handed House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries an 84-page playbook to run if they seize control in November. It maps out what they plan to do in their first 100 hours if they take back control of Congress. At the top of their list? Abortion. In their own words, they want to 'Reestablish a federal right to abortion care and end restrictions that prevent people covered through federal health programs from receiving abortion coverage.' In other words, abortion-on-demand nationwide, and you pay for it." In other words, some will literally be voting whether or not to add life or abortion to their state constitution. On this edition of Crosstalk you also hear about the recent report from the FDA that they will not complete their abortion pill safety review until March of 2027.

This sermon examines the missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas as recorded in Acts 14, highlighting the consistent opposition they faced from both Jewish and Gentile communities. The central message emphasizes that the true relationship with God is founded strictly on His grace rather than human works, and that faithful preaching of the Word inevitably invites resistance. The text explores the theological implications of Paul's resurrection after being stoned, suggesting a profound spiritual encounter, while contrasting the humility of true ministers with the self-aggrandizement of modern religious figures. The preacher argues that entering the kingdom of God requires enduring tribulation, and that the early church's success was built on the sacrificial lives of its leaders who remained steadfast despite persecution. The lesson concludes with a call for spiritual confirmation and the importance of divinely appointed leadership in the church, warning against the dangers of ungodly ministry and the closing door of faith in a hostile world.

We preached and did street evangelism in a new location on Princes St. in Edinburgh. God blessed and several stood to the side and listened for quite a while. Other's heard the truth of the Gospel as they were passing by. Please pray for fruit that will remain.

As you meditate on the truth of the Word today, consider these words that David sang in v. 19 above, and actively engage in what "Selah" calls you to do as you pause and ponder their glorious meaning. What is one of the many reasons that you are to kneel down, praise, and adore your great covenant Lord? He is the great giver of daily benefits to His people.

We celebrate heroes as models of greatness. But is heroism a biblical ideal or a pagan inheritance? Scripture calls us to faithfulness, not celebrity worship. Host Andrea Schwartz and co host Dr Charles Roberts on this week's Out of the Question podcast

Genesis 13:1-18 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. 2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai; 4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. 5 ¶ And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. 7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. 8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. 9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. 10 ¶ And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. 11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. 12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. 13 But the men of Sodom were wicked.

Justin Peters examines Jack Graham's congratulatory message to Benny Hinn in light of Scripture's commands concerning false teaching and pastoral responsibility. Reviewing archival investigations, healing claims, and prosperity gospel fundraising appeals, Justin explains why public endorsements matter. From Romans 16:17–18, 2 John 9–11, Titus 1:9, and 1 Timothy 5:22, he calls Christians to test teaching by God's Word and pastors to protect their congregations through sound doctrine.
