Preach Sermons, Not Commentaries
The heart of man is a fortress without a drawbridge. It is so hard and impregnable that it takes divine weapons and skilled soldiers to regularly invade it with the truth. Weekly, men equipped by the Spirit of God urge the dead to live and the sorely tempted to flee to Christ, to cling to Christ, firing God’s very words at their souls to save them. Men are dying; the saints are tempted and weary; has God spoken or not? He has indeed, and men preach sermons proclaiming those words.
Don’t Forget to Pray When You Use Apologetics
Greg reads an evangelism story from a listener about praying when you use apologetics, then he answers questions about the rapture, whether Paul’s words that we should desire to prophesy contradict Greg’s view on hearing the voice of God, and the doctrine of entire sanctification.

Philosophers Miles Donahue and Alex Malpass go head-to-head on one of the most fascinating arguments for God’s existence. Miles argues that the extraordinary precision of the universe’s fundamental constants provides powerful evidence for theism. Alex pushes back: could fine-tuning simply expose gaps in our current physics rather than the fingerprints of a designer? An extended Unbelievable?
