A show that is devoted to helping you shamelessly defend your Christian convictions through rational thinking.
Mike takes a break from the "Case for Biblical Sexuality Series" to present a sermon he gave on "The Great SURGE", a presentation that argues for the existence of the God based on the evidence found in the cosmos.
Mike enters into a new phase of his discussion on the case for biblical sexuality, viewing the subject of same sex marriage from the perspective of a post-Obergefell landscape, where federally endorsed same sex marriage is a reality rather than a mere possibility. In this podcast, Mike addresses how such a reality came to be.
Mike discusses the challenge directed at Christians that they cannot legislate in favor of biblical morality because of the supposed separation of church and state.
Mike responds to several challenges that LGBT activists make against opponents of same sex marriage, including:
1) Opposition to same sex marriage is hate speech 2) Opponents to same sex marriage are intolerant 3) Opponents to same sex marriage violate Jesus' command not to judge in Matthew 7:1
Mike discusses several challenges raised by LGBT activists, including:
1) Homosexual parenting is better than the foster system 2) Homosexual couples in a committed relationship should be able to marry 3) Some heterosexual couples cannot produce children, just like homosexuals
Mike discusses several other arguments put forth by LGBT activists in support of same sex marriage. These include: 1) "homosexuals cannot change" 2) "same sex marriage is about love" 3) "animals commit homosexual behavior" 4) "opposing same sex marriage is the same as opposing interracial marriage" 5) "opponents of same sex marriage are bigots"
Mike examines three popular slogans used to advocate for same sex marriage and discusses the inherent flaws of each statement. The slogans considered are: “homosexuals want the same rights as heterosexuals”, “homosexuality is just like race”, and “homosexuals were born that way”.
Mike discusses how the legal endorsement of homosexual behavior through same sex marriage harms those that struggle with same sex attraction and concludes the six point cast for biblical sexuality.
Mike discusses how the legal endorsement of homosexual behavior through same sex marriage is harmful both to children and everyday citizens.
Mike takes a break from his series on "The Case for Biblical Sexuality" to present a sermon that he gave on the subject of God's goodness. God is not only good, but he is the very standard of goodness that enables humans to know that certain actions are genuinely right and wrong.
Mike discusses how the law teaches the citizens of society that certain behaviors are good and others are bad. If the law begins to teach people that harmful behaviors, like abortion and same sex behavior, are good, then one can reasonably expect society to perceive them as beneficial.
Mike wraps up the discussion on how natural marriage is the foundation of civilization and introduces point #2 of the case for biblical sexuality: homosexual behavior is harmful. Although the culture would have you believe that homosexuality is normal, beneficial, and healthy, the facts seem to say otherwise.
Mike lays down a foundation for why biblical sexuality is the only form of sexuality that should be promoted within the culture, be it by the government, the church, or any other institution.
Mike preaches on the subject of God’s greatness, discussing two of God’s attributes that display this greatness: His spiritual nature and His infinite nature.
Mike wraps up his case for the resurrection of Jesus series by discussing some more obscure challenges to the resurrection, such as the idea that Jesus never died and the claim that Jesus' appearance to the disciples is similar to Elvis sightings.
Mike presents a sermon on John 1:19-28, discussing the nature of John the Baptist's ministry as the "voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord." John's ministry was one of repentance, of turning the hearts of fallen humanity back to God, and this ministry continues to be relevant for those seeking God's forgiveness today.
Although the strong evidence for the supernatural resurrection of Jesus implies the existence of God, there are also powerful arguments for God’s existence outside of the evidence for the resurrection. In a culture that often dismisses God, the resurrection, and Christianity in general as mere superstition, such arguments suggest that the reality of God has a scientific basis that is independent of human imagination. If there are o...
Traditional Christianity asserts that Jesus is God as the second person of the Trinity, but some liberal scholars suggest that Jesus never understood Himself to be divine. Mike examines the historical and literary context around key Bible verses that speak to Jesus' identity to determine who Jesus thought Himself to be.
Mike discusses the theory that Jesus' resurrection was not a bodily resurrection, but was rather a "spiritual," non-physical, or even metaphorical resurrection, and offers several reasons as to why this theory falls short of the evidence.
Mike continues the discussion on the topic of philosophical naturalism, demonstrating the flaws of several other arguments that naturalists use to challenge the miraculous resurrection of Jesus.
