Episode 209: What Are Spiritual Gifts & Why do We Get Them So Wrong?
The church has been fitly joined to accomplish God’s will in this world. This is confirmed in Scripture. Ephesians 4:16 says, "From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."
God has provided each individual with unique gifts that they might contribute to the work of their local church to meet the needs of the brethren, and achieve the objectives of the Great Commission.
Like many biblical teachings, there have been confusing and false teachings surrounding the subject of spiritual gifts. The Christian predilection for spiritual experience has given way to justifying much of these false teachings.
Today on the Postscript, Provost of Living Faith Bible Institute, Brandon Briscoe, will be discussing spiritual gifts with Dr. Chris Best, Missiology instructor at LFBI – asking what the Bible has to say about the gifts and how they function to further our faith and God’s will.
Episode 133: Identity, Truth & Vishal Mangalwadi
Vishal Mangalwadi is a world-renowned Christian philosopher and author of over 20 books, including “This Book Changed Everything: The Bible’s Amazing Impact on Our World.” In this episode, Vishal shares his testimony of coming to faith in Jesus after an earnest search for absolute truth in both religion and philosophy.
In this search for truth, Vishal came to the realization that modern philosophical skepticism in the West had only reached what Siddhārtha Gautama (The Buddha) had taught more than 2,000 years earlier.
In this episode, Vishal traces the history of skeptical thought from east to west from influential individuals like Buddha, David Hume, and even Kurt Cobain. Vishal demonstrates how genuine hope, purpose, and progress can only come to a person or nation that remains rooted in truth.
Vishal shows us where fatalist and relativistic thought lead to and why the West will never see lasting fruit outside of the absolute truth that mankind was created in God's image, lost that image by sin, and can only regain it through a real relationship with the Creator, Jesus Christ.
Can we know truth? Can we trust the Bible? These are questions we find answers to in this episode of The Postscript.
