#1236: How does Satan imitate God’s reality? | Revelation 13 | Ezekiel 31 | Proverbs 22:10-23:18

The contains many warnings about false teachers and prophets, but what is the ultimate source for people of falsehood? The quick answer would be correct: Satan. But today’s focus question that we’ll get to in our Bottom Line segment today is about the HOW — How does Satan imitate God’s reality?

#1235: What’s “slave to the lender” mean? | Revelation 12 | Ezekiel 30 | Proverbs 21:13-22:9

Today’s focus question is prompted by something we’ll read in Proverbs today, and asking the question “What does it mean when it says ‘a borrower is slave to the lender’?” is probably obvious on one level. But it sent me on a treasure hunt, and I’ll share with you the results of that little hunt in our Bottom Line segment today.

#1230: Why three "holies?" | Revelation 4-5 | Ezekiel 23 | Proverbs 20:6-19

Just a warning as we get rolling today…Ezekiel 23 is, uh, not G-rated as it describes, again, the unfaithfulness of the people of Israel. But, before we get there, today we’re going to tackle two chapters of Revelation because they really go together, and I want you to get the sense of the whole scene. And while longtime listeners will know the answer to today’s focus question, it’s worth posting again…Why three “holies?” (as in “holy, holy, holy”).

#1217: What’s one way to “test the spirits?” | John 16 | Ezekiel 1 | Proverbs 19:9-23

Yesterday as we talked about wisdom I mentioned in passing that in the letter that we call 1 John, John exhorts us to “test the spirits,” and this is consistent with one thing we’ll hear Jesus say today and leads to our focus question of the day — What’s one way to “test the spirits?”

#1213: What’s the Bible’s “tale of two cities? | John 12 | Lamentations 2

If we ask, "What’s the Bible’s 'tale of two cities?'", you might guess that I’m talking about Jerusalem and Babylon. But the tale, the story, metaphorically permeates the whole of the Bible and therefore the Christian worldview.
