Have I Lost My Faith?
September 5, 2024
Isaac became a born-again believer at an early age. But that was a long time ago. He grew up feeling his faith every day. In school, he stood up for the Gospel and was even bullied for it. But today Isaac feels very little at times, sometimes nothing at all."Where did my faith go? Have I lost it?" These were the questions on Isaac's mind when he called in. In this short video clip, I address his concerns and offer him real hope.If you experience times in life when you feel nothing and begin to wonder where your faith is, I hope this encourages you today.We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Put Off Your Old Self?
September 19, 2024
Do you need to wake up every day and try to put off your old self? Put off who you were? Or has that already been done?Ephesians 4 says, "you have heard Him and have been taught in Him…[to] lay aside the old self… and [to] put on the new self." Here, the verbs are "neutral" or timeless (called infinitives), so you read the context to discover what time they refer to. Clearly, Paul is saying that in first hearing the Gospel they "have heard" and "have been taught" (past tense) to put off the old self and to put on the new self. And that's exactly what they did through the born-again experience! This is why we see the same idea in past tense in Colossians 3: "you laid aside the old self" and "have put on the new self."So, if you don't have to get busy putting off the old self (done!) and putting on the new self (done!), then what is your role every day?
