Evidence 4 Faith

DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ Listen to previous episodes: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/keepthefiresburning/ Martha asks Jesus to reprimand Mary for sitting and listening to Jesus teaching instead of helping her host the house guests. Instead, Jesus supports Mary’s choice. Sitting at a Rabbi’s feet was not insignificant in the first century, especially for women. Our cultural standards are not Jesus’ or God’s standards. But that’s not the only reason Jesus commended Mary’s choice. This lesson is from our series Keep the Fires Burning, a Bible study series of the minor characters of the Bible that can teach us major lessons. Each episode will introduce you to a new character and help you understand why they are mentioned.

DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ The Bible describes King Belshazzar as the last king of Babylon before the Medo-Persians took over but history tell us that Nabonidus was king at the time. Is this an error in the biblical record? An archeological artifact called the Nabonidus Chronicle which describes the fall of Babylon and its rulers sheds some light on this apparent discrepancy. This video is from our series on the Archaeology of Daniel. The book of Daniel is the second most criticized book of the Bible (behind Jonah). Each episode in this series takes a look at the archaeological evidence against the Biblical record and what we know to be true.

He wasn’t so different from many young people today looking to make their way in the world (except maybe for his wealth). However in trying to establish a place for himself and his family, he traded God’s values for the values of the local culture overtime. He became complacent and invited a host of troubles for his future.

Who gets to define was is just? Is it the government? Is it a community leader? Does everyone get to claim their personal “truth”? During the time of Israel’s Kings, Israel went through many periods of changing their minds on what was true and right. God sends his man Jadon on a mission as a prophet to call the people and the king to repentance. But Jadon was also sent with specific instructions that gives us insight on God’s expectation of truth.

DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ Get more info on the Israel Trip: https://evidence4faith.org/2023israel/ Listen to previous episodes: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/keepthefiresburning/ Everyone experiences peer pressure at some point in their life. Peer pressure can come from work, friends, family, religious and political groups, and other social communities we frequent. For example it’s easy to be Christian and behave in step with biblical principles when living in short term Christian communities like Christian camps. But it’s a lot harder to live out those values when surrounded by other communities that don’t share those values or beliefs. It becomes easier to compromise a little here and a little there to keep our social status within these communities. What are the consequences of giving into this peer pressure and can it be overcome? Aaron’s story from the Bible can give us insight into this problem. This lesson is from our series Keep the Fires Burning, a Bible study series of the minor characters of the Bible that can teach us major lessons.

Accountability is a hard principle to live by which is why two are better than one for those seeking to live with integrity. Jehoiada was the best accountability partner you could ask for. Jehoiada guided young King Joash in the ways of God to restore the kingdom after the terrible reign of his idol worshipping grandmother. When Jehoiada eventually dies, Joash’s accountability goes with it. How do we avoid going of the rails like Joash?

Current Christian thinkers and influencers will disagree on what God’s Word “really means” or even claim that modern cultural mores demand an updated interpretation of scripture.
