1. In today's episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price dive into Mark 2:23-28, a passage that holds significant theological importance.
  2. In episode TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIX, Mike, Wade, and Jason discuss swearing and oaths (with some beeping).
  3. This month's Book Club, we are doing a short story by Flannery O'Connor, "A Good Man is Hard to Find."
  4. Nothing tastes as good as a juicy bit of gossip, amirite?
  5. Craig and Troy draw their discussion on the 10 Commandments to a close with that most inward of all the commandments: coveting.
  6. What does it mean to steal? God gives the gift of property to us and to our neighbors, and we have both the expectation and the joy of helping them to protect what He has given. Craig and Troy tumble down the rabbit hole of the seventh commandment, "You shall not steal."
  7. So, let's be frank: sexual sin abounds. The temptation and desire to sin is everywhere in our world.
  8. The fifth commandment instructs us on the value of all human life and our responsibility to protect it.
  9. We are called to serve all people, but especially those that are in authority over us.
  10. "Remember the Sabbath day" . . . but what does that mean? Shall we rest from our labors, because God rested from His?
  11. Hold on . . . what just came out of your mouth? If it was the name of God, you better have been speaking a prayer. Craig and Troy talk about the wrong--and the right--uses of God's name.
  12. Diving for Gomers. In this episode, we have a much-needed conversation about slavery to sin, Ezekiel’s whore metaphor for God’s relationship with his people, and why it’s important that Christians not shy away from difficult conversations about how God describes sin and grace in the Bible.
