US government schools are failing. There's been a 24-point drop in math skills since 2009, and a 14-point drop in reading skills just since 2018. Why? According to a recent study, it is not a failure of academics – the real issue is student behavior. Chaos and violence in the classroom is an everyday occurrence that makes teachers' jobs "almost impossible." Kevin Swanson and Daniel Craig discuss what scripture says should be done to reform education. They talk about… - The unambiguous reason that teachers themselves identify for kids' bad behavior: it's their parents' fault - The place of corporal punishment…and whether it can be delegated to babysitters or daycare workers - Why anyone should have been able to predict that bifurcating character and academics would lead to disaster - What should be done about teachers' job satisfaction dropping from 62% to 18% in only 15 years - The three fundamental pillars of successful education that must be constantly woven together – and how government schools split them apart instead Got a topic you want us to cover?

God declares sinners righteous by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains the biblical doctrine of justification, the righteousness of Christ counted to believers, and the distinction between justification and sanctification. Working through Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, and James, Dave shows why good works are the fruit of saving faith and never the basis of our acceptance before God. Learn how sola fide protects the gospel, strengthens Christian assurance, and encourages a life of grateful obedience.

Value of Higher Education in Ministry Faith Debate: Sunday, October 18th, 2026 (10/25/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) This discourse centers around the question, "Must a pastor be seminary trained?" The participants articulate a spectrum of perspectives, acknowledging both the merits and pitfalls associated with formal theological education. The panelists suggest that seminary training can equip individuals with vital knowledge and skills, but debate if it's a requirement for pastoral ministry. The speakers emphasize the paramount importance of character and spiritual maturity over academic credentials, suggesting that effective leadership stems from one's relationship with Scripture and the community rather than solely from formal education. And what about the view that says seminary training might enhance a pastor's capabilities, but head knowledge means little for effective ministry compared to a man's character and commitment to biblical teachings?

Wisdom is calling, but are we listening? In Proverbs 8:1–11, Solomon presents wisdom as a voice that actively seeks our attention, offering God's perspective for the decisions we face every day. Wisdom is not reserved for the educated, the spiritually mature, or a select few. It calls to everyone, offering guidance in our relationships, finances, families, and daily lives. Yet wisdom is often ignored, not because it is unavailable, but because we fail to listen, diligently seek it, and value God's instruction above our own desires.

This Sunday School lesson examines 1 Corinthians 1:19-20 to demonstrate how God systematically dismantles the self-reliant wisdom of humanity. The teaching connects Paul's citation of Isaiah 29 to the historical judgment of Jerusalem, illustrating that rejecting divine truth leads to the destruction of men. It identifies the 'wise,' 'scribes,' and 'disputers' as representatives of worldly intellect who ultimately fail to stand against the power of the cross. The central argument is that the gospel acts as a great equalizer, rendering human education and oratory skills irrelevant in the face of God's simple, and yet profound, truth. Ultimately, the passage asserts that God's wisdom exposes the vanity of human reasoning and offers salvation equally to all sinners, as well as the commission to preach it to all Christians, regardless of their intellectual status.

This episode explores the theological identity of the Bible, arguing that it is not merely a human religious text but the authoritative Word of God. By examining 2 Timothy 3:14-17 and 2 Peter 1:19-21, the episode clarifies that while human authors wrote the scriptures, the Holy Spirit sovereignly guided them, resulting in a text that is both genuinely human and divinely inspired. The episode emphasizes that the Bible's authority is grounded in God's nature rather than church tradition or human consensus, serving as the sole rule for faith and obedience. It further outlines the practical implications of this doctrine, urging believers to hear, read, believe, submit to, and teach Scripture as the means by which God makes them wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

This sermon explores the concept of divine workmanship by examining Daniel's three years of preparation in Babylon, framing his success not as a product of Babylonian education but as the result of God's sovereign provision. The central message emphasizes that God equips believers to stand firm in secular environments without compromising their identity, illustrating this through Daniel's refusal to be defiled and his subsequent excellence in wisdom and understanding. The text highlights the theological principle that talents are God-given gifts intended for His glory, urging listeners to reject false humility and actively steward their abilities. By contrasting the temporary nature of earthly kingdoms with the eternal sovereignty of God, the sermon encourages perseverance and faithfulness in small matters as the foundation for greater influence. Ultimately, it presents Daniel's life as a model of enduring faithfulness, challenging the audience to trust God's preparation and continue serving Him with integrity regardless of their circumstances.

This sermon examines the phrase "Thy will be done" from the Lord's Prayer, challenging the common misconception that prayer is a mechanism for persuading God to change His mind to align with human desires. The central message asserts that prayer is primarily a means for God to change the believer, fostering dependence, faith, and obedience rather than serving as a tool for arm-twisting or educating the Divine. By contrasting the defeated resignation of Eli and the frustrated surrender of Paul's companions with the loving submission of Jesus in Gethsemane, the exposition highlights that true surrender flows from a trusting relationship with God as a loving Father. The speaker emphasizes that genuine prayer involves trusting God's superior wisdom and seeing beyond temporary pain to the eternal glory that follows obedience. Ultimately, the call is to move beyond mere verbal repetition to a heartfelt willingness to be made willing, allowing God to conform the believer's will to His perfect purposes.

The sermon explores the believer's confidence in God by examining 1 Peter 1:17, which calls Christians to live with reverence during their earthly sojourn. It contrasts the fragility of worldly systems like government and education with the unchanging nature of God, who is both a loving Father and a righteous Judge. The message emphasizes that God is not a respecter of persons, judging everyone impartially according to their works, which provides comfort to those facing unjust persecution. By recalling the example of Isaiah and the assurance of redemption through Christ's blood, the preacher encourages the audience to maintain a focus on God's holiness rather than their immediate trials. This perspective fosters a healthy fear of the Lord that strengthens faith and sustains believers through seasons of testing.

Because Christ is worthy of it and more, we should commit ourselves to Gospel-centered living.

This sermon explores God's remedy for suffering by examining the command to sanctify Christ as Lord in the heart, shifting focus from external persecution to internal devotion. The teaching emphasizes the believer's responsibility to be perpetually ready to provide a verbal defense of their faith, known as apologia, when questioned about the hope within them. This defense must be delivered with gentleness, reverential fear, and a good conscience, which is rooted in the finished work of Christ. The passage highlights that while suffering for righteousness is a remote possibility, it is ultimately better to suffer for doing right than for doing wrong, as such endurance finds favor with God. The tone is instructional and pastoral, encouraging believers to rely on the Holy Spirit to embody these character traits while maintaining a secure hope in God's promises.

Dave Jenkins examines three enduring Reformation themes: objective truth, biblical worship, and the authority of Scripture. From John 17:17, John 4:24, and 2 Timothy 3:16–17, he explains why the church must receive truth from God, worship according to His Word, and submit to biblical correction. Christians are called to speak truth in love and demonstrate submission to Scripture through faithful obedience.
