Galatians 5:16-23 teaches that at any moment we are either walking by the Holy Spirit or according to the sin nature. Walking by the Spirit, enjoying fellowship with God, walking in the light are virtually synonymous. During these times, the Holy Spirit is working in us to illuminate our minds to the truth of Scripture and to challenge us to apply what we learn. But when we sin, we begin to live based on the sin nature. Our works do not count for eternity. The only way to recover is to confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin to God the Father and we are instantly forgiven, cleansed, and recover our spiritual walk (1 John 1:9). Please make sure you are walking by the Spirit before you begin your Bible study, so it will be spiritually profitable.

Passage: Romans 1:28-32
Duration: 1 hr 3 mins 49 secs
We don't witness to everyone the same way. The apostles began with Abraham when talking to Jews and Gentiles with an Old Testament background, but with the God of creation, when talking to pagan Gentiles.When Paul came to Athens, he first went to the synagogue, and then to the agora, the marketplace. There he attracted the attention of the intellectual elites, the Stoics and Epicureans. They could not understand what he was talking about when speaking of the resurrection. It did not fit their preconceived notions, their religious framework. So they asked for more. They invited Paul to address them at Mar's Hill, a rock outcropping beneath the Acropolis. There we have a tremendous example of Paul's explanation of the gospel by defining God and then man.

Are you dreaming of an amazing world under one government where everyone speaks the same language?

Passage: Judges 10:6-18
Duration: 1 hr 9 mins 27 secs

Do you worship the Creator of the universe or what He created? Listen to this lesson to begin a study of the distinction between the Creator and the creation. Hear the story of origins as told by the pagans and see how they borrowed bits from the Bible but came up with their own false thinking. Find out what the Chain of Being is and the concept of existence. Hear about the gods and goddesses that were worshiped and see how they were all backed by demonic powers. Take time to think how you may have been tainted with some of these beliefs by the culture you live in.

Passage: Judges 10:6-18
Duration: 1 hr 9 mins 11 secs

Where do the ideas and concepts you have come from and how do they affect your life? Listen to this lesson to learn that what you think about God will shape all of your thinking. Hear about the demonic ideas of the fertility gods of the Near Eastern religions which are still prevalent in the thinking of most people today. Understand the scale of being and its complete rejection of divine institutions. Examine your own thinking to see what pagan concepts you hold so you can replace them with biblical truth.

Passage: Judges 10:6-18
Duration: 1 hr 16 mins 30 secs
Clear the decks and get ready to listen to this message to learn about the irrational thinking that is destroying our civilization today. Hear about the clash of ideas beginning in ancient times between biblical thinking and paganism. See a timeline for the philosophical underpinnings of the early continuity of being thinkers who taught that god and man are one and all have a spark of divinity in them. In contrast, learn that there is one God and He is the Creator and there is always a distinction between Him and the creature. See that the only ideas that give stability to a nation are the ideas that come out of the Bible.
