What makes someone, who wants freedom from God so that they can do whatever they please, choose to be ruled by another person?
Andrew and Robert read from 1 Samuel 8 and discuss the story of Israel's desire to be ruled by a King even when it was explained to them how badly it would turn out. And, as always, God was right. Are there parallels in the world today?
When we make decisions in life we don't often know how they will turn out what what effects it will have on us or our families later. This applies doubly then we decide to break God's laws, never fully understanding the impact. Would Adam really have eaten the fruit if he knew how many millions of people would suffer? Would Abraham have taken Haggar if he knew of the repercussions that would follow that deci...

We know that King Saul eventually turned completely away from God because he felt God was no longer speaking to him. However this change wasn't sudden. Over time he has been moving further and further away from listening for God. When did this change start? Was it always in his nature to do his own thing without checking with God first?
Robert and Andrew read from 1 Samuel 13 and 14 and discuss Saul's nature ...
What does it mean that God knows everything? Does that influence what decisions we make? Are we even free to make decisions or is everything predestined by God's knowledge of the future?
The Bible has the answer to these questions and Andrew and Robert read and discuss 1 Samuel 23 to gain more knowledge on the subject.

The nation of Israel did not live up to the agreement that God had in mind for them through his agreement with Abraham or the commitment made with the people on Mt Sinai. But what lead to their ultimate downfall? What was it that made the people not complete their mission?
In 2 Kings 17 Robert and Andrew fine the reasons behind the downfall. What can we do, as God's people today, to avoid falling into the same tra...

Continuing on from Acts 9:22, Robert and Andrew finish the story of Saul's conversion to Paul of Tarshish. Or should we say God's conversion of Saul to Paul and the effect if had on the Jewish church and political leadership.
The conversion was so profound that it not only halted the persecution and killing of follower of the Way but Paul led to more to Christ, a net victory of the Lord.

Joshua had much faith in God. When he, Joshua, received instructions for the battle of Jericho he passed them on to the people without making any changes even though they seemed strange at first. March around a city to defeat it? That's not how army's normally fight! But Joshua knew that this wasn't his fight to win, it belonged to God.
In our third and final installment of Psalm 78 Andrew and Robert talk about how Israel's History showed God's continual love for his people. This is also a reminder for us today to look through our history and see God's love for us.

What an odd statement for the Lord to say to Saul on the road to Damascus where Saul was eagerly going to harass, arrest and even participate in the killing of the Lord's people.
What does that even mean, in Acts 9 where the voice from heave says, "...it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks."
Robert and Andrew read and discuss Acts 9:1-22
Continuing on with Psalm 78:22-48, Robert and Andrew discuss Israel's distrust of God despite all of what He had done for them in the past.
What about us today? Do we have the proper gratitude for what God has done for us or are we forgetting our history?

Our Solar system is large and the Milky Way galaxy even larger; almost unimaginable large. But when we think of the fight between good and evil we often only think about Earth. The Bible says the whole universe hangs in the balance.
Andrew and Robert discuss Revelations 4&5 and how it shows that the conflict for eternal life is Bigger than just the Earth
Why does the Bible indicate that we need "two or three witnesses"? Well think of an eyewitness testimony in a court case with you in the jury to decide someone's fate. Wouldn't you want corroboration of a testimony with matching testimony from multiple people? Wouldn't God also want you to be certain when it comes to his work?
Andrew and Robert read from Numbers 9:15-23 about God's law and...
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
But how do you study a book written thousands of years ago to people you have never met?
In this episode of True Wisdom Robert and Andrew using the Bible and a few easily accessible tools to show one way to learn more about what was written in the Bible!

Some of us go to church weekly, and I mean weekly with out fail. Almost "religiously"! (Pun intended)
But do we know why? For what reason do we go to church? Is there a Biblical reason to meet with like minded people each and every week and sometimes more than once in a week?
Robert and Andrew find the answers to these questions while reading from Ephesians 4:1-16
Ephesians 3:1-12
Colossians 1:18-29
With so many religions in the world and even so many denominations just within Christianity there are many who will say that there are many ways to get to eternal salvation. Is that right?
Robert and Andrew read from John 10, John 14 and Ephesians 4 to see what Christ has to say about the way to God.

Should we be judging others? What is the right way to judge people?
In this episode Andrew and Robert tackle a great question thanks to one of our listeners. The question was:
"Is it possible to share with biblical evidence the differences between what the Bible means by Judging vs what we interpret it to be? This is due to the many times we use "Thou shalt not judge" whenever we are doing the wrong thin...
