The Bible tells us to pay closer attention to Jesus Christ and the salvation that He brings. We should not take this lightly because there is always a danger of drifting away from God. Thankfully, we have many reasons to remember Jesus Christ. This podcast considers the command, the warning, and the reminder found in Hebrews 2:1-4. AUDIO
Whether we live as students, employees, or church leaders, we are often confronted with the question of how will we live and how we will decide how to live. Recently, I read the following suggestion: We need to be less concerned with the method (traditions) and more concerned with results. But is that really true? Our methods determine our results. As we know, ends do not justify the means, and our traditions guide us towards positive results & guard us from negative results. For example, our theological traditions, such as the creeds, guard us against false doctrine and false practice. The process…
