We are Near!

We are Near!

Serious Christians need encouragement. This podcast focuses on the needs of disciples who want to finish well, as they see "the Day approaching". We will focus on the character and heart issues that make followers of Jesus often feel lonely and unappreciated, at the same time that they thank God for His grace in their lives.

"God trieth our hearts." "The trial of your faith is more precious than gold that perishes". "He shall purify the sons of Levi". "When I am tried, I shall come forth as gold." There should be no debate: Christian character is going to be tried in the crucible of God's oversight and training. But how often do you hear that from the pulpit? 

In this presentation we will examine se...

To become a Christian, we face the simplest of tasks. And the most profound: to present our body as a "living sacrifice". Continuing in the theme defined by Romans 12:1 and 2, we now turn to 1 Peter 1 to discover another, even more detailed corroboration of what our life entails, what obedience will require, and what rewards and blessings we might hope for at the end. The answers are stunning, exciting, and sobering. It t...

"Judge not." "If we judge ourselves, we will not be condemned".. "I do not judge myself". "Can't we judge the smallest matters?" "Don't you know the saints will judge the world?" "We shall judge angels" So many Bible verses. So many seeming contradictions.
How can a Christian operate in this confusing set of principles?

When God called you to be a Christian, he already knew that you are not a conformist. And he knew that being human, you'd probably like to be. It's in our nature to pick our attitudes, dress, values, and words from the people we are around the most. 

Wouldn't it be great if we could just align ourselves with the people we WANT to copy? Not rock the boat; not disagree on matters of priority or values or moral...

 This episode focuses on what it is to be a Christian: renewal, transformation, and discernment.

We dive into a deep examination of Romans 12. 

Being a Christian is primarily a transformation of mind, heart and character which God directs when we “present ourselves”, mind and body, to be a living sacrifice for Him. The discussion touches upon the process that begins with repentance, and renews our mind, attitudes, and actions from th...

Victorious Christians are nearing the end of their journey. Never has the fulfillment of their promises been so close; but never have sincere Christians needed more encouragement. 

In this inaugural episode of We Are Near!, we open with a few of Jesus' promises of special service for Christians -- his assurance that his followers will actually share in the future government of the world. Then we examine a passage in t...

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
