منذ 5 أيام10:31

10:31

This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. continues his series called, “Why Does It Matter?” by diving into the significance of the virgin birth of Jesus. A glimpse inside this episode: The virgin birth is crucial to understanding Jesus’ identity. Jesus was born without a sin nature due to the virgin birth. The doctrine of the virgin birth is essential for salvation. Jesus had to be fully God and fully man to save us. The sin nature is passed down through the man’s seed. Isaiah 7:14 prophesies the virgin birth of Jesus. The term ‘Alma’ in Hebrew contextually means virgin. Matthew’s interpretation of Isaiah confirms the virgin birth. Jesus understands human experiences because he was fully man. The virgin birth leads us to worship God for His miraculous work.…

A glimpse inside this episode: Expositional preaching is essential for the life of the church. The message should find its source in Scripture through careful exegesis. Preachers are stewards of God’s word, responsible for delivering it faithfully. Discipleship is the primary goal of preaching. Feedback from the congregation is valuable and should be welcomed. Expositional preaching can still address topical issues when grounded in Scripture. A balanced diet of Scripture is important for congregational growth. Preaching should not be driven solely by personal preferences. Understanding the definitions of preaching styles helps clarify expectations.

Why Does It Matter? Purity Before Marriage 15:12

منذ 19 يومًا15:12

15:12

This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. continues his series called, “Why Does It Matter?” and focuses on why purity before marriage even matters by exploring the biblical stance on sexual ethics. A glimpse inside this episode: Many people question why sex before marriage is a big deal. God’s instructions on sex are rooted in wisdom and love. Sex is designed to bond two lives together, not just for pleasure. Casual sex can have lasting psychological effects. God’s limitations on sex are meant to protect us from harm. Marriage is a covenant that signifies a deeper commitment. The church has sometimes failed to communicate the reasons behind sexual ethics. There is grace and redemption available for those who have sinned sexually. Sexual sin can rob individuals of feelings of cleanliness, safety, and specialness. God’s grace is greater than our sins, offering hope and restoration.…

Should Followers of Jesus Get Plastic Surgery? 8:39

منذ 11 weeks8:39

8:39

This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. answers “Should Followers of Jesus Get Plastic Surgery?” A glimpse inside this episode: There are many the nuances for Christians around plastic surgery, enhancing beauty, the cultural pressures surrounding appearance, and the importance of focusing on inner beauty and heart posture. While cosmetic enhancements are not inherently wrong, they should not become idols that dictate self-worth or decision-making. The question of cosmetic surgery is nuanced and complex. Enhancing beauty is not inherently wrong; it’s about the heart behind it. Cultural pressures can lead to unhealthy decisions regarding appearance. The Bible encourages focusing on inner beauty rather than outward adornment. Idols related to beauty can lead to poor decision-making. Aging is a natural process that should be embraced, not fought against. Self-image should be rooted in God’s love, not physical appearance. It’s important to ask oneself if beauty and youth are idols. The inward person can be renewed even as the outward person deteriorates. Heart posture is crucial in making decisions about cosmetic enhancements.…

Are Denominations Biblical? 14:13

منذ 13 weeks14:13

14:13

This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. answers “Are Denominations Biblical?” A glimpse inside this episode: In this week’s episode, Pastor J.D. explores the biblical basis for denominations while addressing common criticisms. While denominations may not be explicitly mentioned in the Bible, the concept of cooperation in the mission of the church is prevalent. Denominations serve as a practical tool for collaboration in advancing the mission of God. Denominations are not explicitly mentioned in the Bible. Cooperation among churches is a biblical principle. Different levels of cooperation require varying levels of doctrinal conformity. Movements and institutions are both necessary in the church. A unified authority does not guarantee doctrinal purity. Protestantism allows for recognition of valid churches outside its own. Denominations can facilitate mission advancement. The Bible is the ultimate authority for Christians. Historical context is crucial in understanding church authority. Denominations are tools for cooperation, not division.…

Is It Wrong for Christians to Do Yoga? 12:12

منذ 14 weeks12:12

12:12

This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. answers a question that has actually been asked by two listeners, Lillian and Jesse: “Is it OK for Christians to do Yoga?” A glimpse inside this episode: In this week’s episode, Pastor J.D. explores the historical roots of yoga in Eastern religions and how it contrasts with Christian meditation. He emphasizes the importance of individual conscience in making decisions about practices that may have spiritual implications while also introducing a framework for categorizing theological issues and highlighting the need for unity in the church while allowing for personal convictions. Yoga has historical roots in Eastern religions like Hinduism. Christian meditation differs from Eastern meditation in purpose. Believers should wrestle with their own conscience regarding yoga. Not all practices with pagan origins are off-limits for Christians. Unity in the church is more important than strict conformity on disputed matters. The framework of essential, important, and indifferent matters helps navigate faith issues. Personal convictions should guide individual practices like yoga. Jesus’ authority supersedes the origins of certain practices. Engaging with differing opinions requires patience and understanding. Practices should honor Christ and align with biblical principles.…

My Marriage Started After an Unbiblical Divorce: What Should We Do? 11:01

منذ 15 weeks11:01

11:01

This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. answers a question that asked, “I’m currently married to a man who had an unbiblical divorce. To make it worse, we actually began dating before the divorce was finalized. We recently both got saved, and now are facing the question: are we living in continuous adultery? We’re both sick over how our marriage began, but at the same time, we don’t feel right divorcing. Do you have any guidance?” A glimpse inside this episode: This is a really complex question regarding marriage, divorce, and the implications of their past decisions in light of their newfound faith. Pastor J.D. dives into the biblical teachings on divorce, the nature of marriage as a covenant, and the importance of repentance and grace in moving forward. While the circumstances of their marriage may have been sinful, God’s mercy allows for redemption and blessing in their current relationship. Jesus’ teachings on divorce emphasize the sanctity of marriage. Divorce is allowed in cases of adultery, but not required. God’s view of marriage is a covenant of oneness. Repentance is key to moving forward in faith. Deuteronomy 24 warns against returning to a previous marriage. God can redeem even the worst situations. Acknowledging past sins is important for healing. God’s grace allows for new beginnings in relationships. The podcast serves as a resource for vulnerable questions.…

منذ 16 weeks15:19

15:19

This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. answers a question submitted by Tristan who asked, “As Christians, how can we be honest about an individual’s poor performance (in my case, scoring a poor performer based on their work quality) with grace and love?” A glimpse inside this episode: Honest criticism can be done in a loving and graceful manner. It’s so vital to balance feedback with grace, as well as address poor performance. Humility and relational context will play a huge factor in graceful feedback. Ultimately, there is a huge need for specific feedback because that fosters growth and development. The goal of salvation is a new kind of righteousness. Understanding sin requires both head knowledge and heart transformation. Living by faith means choosing what is right despite feelings. Growth in grace involves recognizing our ongoing need for grace. Sowing seeds of righteousness leads to spiritual growth. Habits shape our desires and affections. Choosing against fleshly desires is a step of faith. Reckoning ourselves dead to sin empowers us to resist temptation. Prayer and belief in the gospel are essential for spiritual life. Continuous reliance on God’s grace is crucial in the Christian walk.…

This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. answers a question submitted by Andrew who asked, “Could you attempt to provide some clarity on whether an earthly marriage between Christians means that husband/wife relationship carries into eternity?” Thank you Andrew for your question! A glimpse inside this episode: Jesus teaches that there is no marriage in heaven. Marriage was created to address loneliness on earth. In heaven, companionship will be fulfilled in a better way. Our joys in heaven will be heightened and transformed. C.S. Lewis compares earthly pleasures to heavenly joys. Marriage is a temporary picture of our relationship with Christ.

Joseph is a Senior Fellow for Biblical Worldview and Strategic Engagement at Family Research Council. He combines extensive legal, political, and policy experience with a love for the way biblical truth cultivates human flourishing. A glimpse inside this episode: Politics is the process through which we make decisions. Christians should engage in politics as a blessing. Avoiding difficult conversations can hinder important discussions. Evaluate political choices based on biblical principles. Political parties should not overshadow our allegiance to Christ. Parents should teach children about the complexities of human nature. Election seasons provide unique opportunities for disciple-making. Sober-mindedness is crucial in political discourse. Confirmation bias can lead to being misled in politics. Good politics reflects a love for our neighbors.…
