Socialism is an economic system that is slowly but steadily gaining in popularity with our younger generations. The rise of political figures like AOC, and Bernie Sanders continue to drive socialism in the USA. With its increasing popularity we must ask, "What does the Bible teach about it?"
Christianity as a whole has been very confused as to who the bride of Christ is. Some say it is the church, others say it is Israel, and still others say it is both. We need to ask, "What says the Scriptures." It is only through a very in-depth study of the words used that we can come to an answer. Please make sure to give us a like, and make sure to follow us!
Most of us have heard some preacher, pastor, or teacher claim that Jesus spoke about "hell" more than anyone. It is a very curious claim for two reasons:
Considering these realities, it is important to examine the context of each of Jesus' eleven "...
The vast majority of Christians will trace the conflict between Arabs and Jews in the Middle East back to Isaac and Ishmael. Considering the current situation in the middle east, the subject of the Biblical roots of the conflict is a timely one. For this reason, we need to examine the role of doctrinal interpretations, particularly concerning the role of Ishmael. Did the patriarchs determine the fate of the Arabs, Jews, and modern ...
Vast numbers of Christians fail to grasp the significance of the Levitical offerings. Failure to grasp the types is a failure to grasp some profound truths about our Savior, Jesus Christ. The Grain offering is one of these offerings. What is it trying to show us about Jesus Christ?

The relationship between the body, soul, and spirit is the subject of many Biblical passages. It explains why the Law could never change an individual, and why Grace cannot fail. How does the relationship between the body, soul, and spirit impact our Christian life. What roll does the soul play in our Christian Walk? Can a true believer have a wandering soul? This is the conclusion of this very important topic.
In the sixth chapter of Ecclesiastes the writer of the book refers to a wandering soul. What does this mean? How does the soul impact our Christian life? What is our soul and how does it relate to God, and how does He relate to it? Many individuals have a very flawed understanding of the human soul. Recently our host Bill Petri did an in-depth study on this topic.
The five offerings show us in type many truths about the offering of Jesus Christ on the cross. What does the burnt offering represent and how does it show us Christ? How is Jesus Christ the Priest, offeror, and offering? What is the difference between an offering and a sacrifice? How are the types fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ? Our host Bill Petri and guest John Ewen discuss this very profound and topic.
The brokenness of humanity leads to pain, both physical and emotional. It is an inevitable part of the human experience and holds a significant place in the spiritual journey of believers. Throughout the pages of Scripture, pain is often depicted as a tool used by God to refine, teach, and draw His people closer to Him. This Differing Things Podcast will explore the multifaceted role of pain in spiritual growth, as illustrated in S...

What is the "mystery" (secret) of which the Apostle Paul speaks and how can we understand it? In this episode of Differing Things, we will examine this topic by asking a series of questions:
Who is this mystery for? Where did the mystery originate? Why is the mystery referred to as a secret? When and why was the mystery planned? When was the mystery revealed? What is the mystery about? Why is the mystery so important? How are the t...
In 1 Corinthians 1:1-2,9 we read of three callings of God: (1) Paul's call to apostleship, (2) to sainthood, and (3) to fellowship. It is important for us as believers to look at these three callings and understand their importance.
It would take a careful student of Paul's life many volumes of books to express all of the leadership lessons that can be gleaned from his life and ministry. Church leaders can learn much going through the Apostle Paul's life, and how he demonstrated leadership for us.
Since the Biden administrations early years, we have been told that inflation is either insignificant, transitory, or a short-term pain for a long-term stable economy. But now, almost all economists and government leaders will acknowledge that inflation is here to stay for the foreseeable future. How should we think about inflation from the Bible's perspective? What lessons can we learn from the past? How can we prepare for the fut...
The Bible is full of figures of speech which have not been brought into our translations accurately. One of these figures of speech is hyperbole, to exaggerate or amplify something for effect. Many of the figures of speech in the Bible border what we in the West would consider a lie, but not so from an Eastern point of view. These figures of speech and cultural differences can indeed make Bible study difficult. Recognizing these fi...
