  2. Gag me with a spoon. In this episode, part two of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s essay, “Live Not by The Lies.” We consider herd mentality, our fear of standing up to unjust authority, and the secular indoctrination that infects the church.
  3. אברהם שׂרה - No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations... As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name... kings of peoples shall come from her. (GENESIS 17:5, 15–16)
  4. The year was 679. We remember St. Amand, the Frankish Missionary bishop of Neustria. The reading for today comes from Angelico Chavez, "Jesus at the Well."
  5. The Beatitudes aren't veiled Law, but pure gracious Gospel. Jesus tells us we are blessed when we are found in Him.
  6. Like needing to find a bathroom, the urgency of preaching the presence of God’s kingdom should be felt in the very inner being of every pastor. Not that anything has changed, but God is definitely demonstrating the vulnerability of sinners to the masses. The harvest is now!
  7. אל ראי - So [Hagar] called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,” for she said, “Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.” (GENESIS 16:13)

  9. Lies Taste Like Wonder-bread. In this episode, part one of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s essay, “Live Not by The Lies.” We discuss the two kingdoms, the need for Christ alone with no additives, and the importance of having an ethos.
  10. A kept promise to deliver you from the principles of the world.
  11. אמן - And [Abram] believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness. (GENESIS 15:6)
