We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. This weeks episode covered the following questions:
How do we know the Bible was written for us today, it seems like it was written to specific people in that specific time in their lives. Thank you for devoting your time to do this show.
Hi, listening to the Corinthians series that you are doing. In the most recent sermon August 10th, Doug said it would be beautiful if we stand up like they do in AA and say “I am a sinner.”
I understand what he is getting at that we need to realize that we are not perfect and still sin, but in Christ we are children of God. Just wondering where the balance is in both of those statements? As someone who tends to realize that I do sin continuously but realizing by his grace that we are not sinners anymore but his children.
Doug you mentioned several times over the past few weeks that we are all sinners yet no where, to my knowledge, in the NT are Christ followers called sinners. They are called saints - who do sometimes sin. What changes, if anything, if we call ourselves sinners vs saints (who sometimes sin).
