This episode explores the New Testament and the earliest Christian literature on the important roles that apostles and prophets held.  

Role of Jewish Law in Christian Living

Children of Light, No Regrets

In this episode, we look carefully at Ephesians 2:1-10 to see the stark difference between the Christian and non-Christian.  It is a difference like light and darkness.  The Christian can live with no regrets, by both experiencing God's love and finding the God's will for their life.

Christian Gratitude

This episode explores how important gratitude is for a healthy life.  The difference between Christian gratitude from the Bible and those views of science without God is brought into sharp contrast.  The Bible story offers us a purpose that is unmatched.
