Why is it important to understand that the Old and New Testaments are not separate messages but one continuous message climaxing in Jesus? We get into that and more in this week’s episode on Unfeigned Christianity.
Today, we dive into the second paradigm shift that helps us better understand the story of the Bible: it’s made up of many pieces of writings written by many different authors.
The Bible is the story of God and His creation. It’s the story of man and the reason God put man into His creation.
What do you do when you have questions about God and things you’re wrestling with? Have you ever wrestled with any of these?
Have you ever asked the question, “Does God care about what we’re going through right now? He cares deeply. Let me show you…
I think we all know we need to read the Bible. But WHY? What is the Bible doing or saying that is important for my everyday life?
What makes one feel like they HAVE to read the Bible instead of feeling like they GET to read the Bible?
The Bible is the collection of writings that are organized in such a way to tell a story that communicates the whole message of the Gospel.
The Bible is the collection of writings which reveal God’s message about his good creation and his design to walk in relationship with mankind. This message ultimately culminates in the person of Jesus Christ.
The main thing people tell me is that I put to words what they feel. I’m grateful people are finding voice for their unspoken questions about church and faith. But I’ve noticed an increase of people leaving the values of their conservative Anabaptist tradition. Here’s the introduction of a letter to my generation where I wrestle through the current shifting in values.
A couple months ago I wrote an article titled, No, You Don’t Have to Read the Bible. I received quite a basket of mixed feedback, so I thought it beneficial to follow-up and bring clarity where I may have failed to before.
This is an open letter. Quite long, to be honest. But necessary for clarifying a few things I deeply believe. The letter is separated into the following sections. Feel free to skip ahead to whatever interests you most by clicking on the heading below:
What if the modern approach to Scripture isn’t what God intended for it? What if saying you can only know God through knowing the Bible cripples people from knowing Him at all?
Today, more than ever we need to be grounded in Truth, but the way we worship the black, white and leather of the Bible doesn’t help us become anymore grounded.
When we put the Bible on a pedestal it was never supposed to have, we actually cultivate contempt for Truth and turn people away from God. In this post, I expose the wrong way to use the Bible, explain the right way, and share how to tell the difference.
Author Asher Witmer knows what it’s like to want freedom from sexual sin only to continually fail. We’re often told we need more personal discipline, that we need to think godly things instead of fleshly things.
What if I told you that discipline won’t solve your problem with lust?
Our male sexuality is given by God for advancing beauty and goodness. But somewhere along the line it becomes something that causes devastation and guilt. The good news is we don’t have to live with guilt. In Live Free, Asher Witmer shows us how we can find freedom from sexual sin, live with nothing to hide, and be able to fight for others.
