While the seven trumpets of the Day of the Lord are still ahead of us, can we hear them now? Do our lives reflect our belief that they really will sound? In this week’s episode, we discuss how the knowledge of what lies ahead should affect our lives today.

There’s a growing number of celebrities converting to professing Christianity, Catholicism in particular. It might be someone we couldn’t care less about, or it might be someone we’ve long looked up to. What should we keep in mind when a popular public figure “converts”?

The old saying “You are what you eat” applies to more than physical food. Your entertainment feeds your mind and heart and has a powerful and unavoidable impact on who you will become. So, choose well!
(In a post more than two years ago, Mr. Mark Sandor wrote about a related topic. If you haven’t read it before, you might hop over there later. Here’s a link: “Thinking Biblically: Entertainment.” And while it’s not about entertainment only, we recently posted a few thoughts about Philippians 4:8 here.)

It’s easy to get offended—frankly, it’s become the default status of our culture. However, the ability to avoid being offended is a vital skill for developing real, Christ-honoring relationships of substance, and the Bible has guidance, perspective, and advice for young people seeking to develop that skill. It takes effort and practice, but it’s worth it!
Here are a couple of sermons related to the topic, if you are interested:
“Be Not Easily Offended” [We should have mentioned this one and did not! But, for the record, we did not steal our title from Dr. Jeff Fall—totally a coincidence!]

With astonishing recent advances in science and technology, playing God is becoming dangerously easy. But, in a way, doesn’t God want us to do that? Let’s talk about it!
And, not mentioned but powerfully relevant to the topic, Dr. Roderick C. Meredith’s article about the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to redefine marriage, “Play God or Obey God?”

Prophecy is weird! But it really is important, and God uses it for good reason. Join us today as we talk about why God uses prophecy, some reasons why He doesn’t, why you don’t need to be intimidated by it, and how to start understanding it yourself.
In today’s podcast, we refer to a telecast on the same topic. Now that we look for that one, I’m not sure it has aired yet! But this classic from Mr. Richard Ames covers the exact same points: “Why Bible Prophecy?” Also, here are the five booklets we recommended to begin your own studies in Bible prophecy—again, all you have to do is get this booklet and read a little each week, looking up verses in your Bible as you encounter them in the booklet. No need to be intimidated!
However, one we did not mention that is sort of a no-brainer is Mr. Ames’ booklet Understanding Bible Prophecy. Like the Revelation booklet, it is a great one to start with.
