It's been said that many Christians treat the Ascension as nothing more than a dazzling exclamation point for the resurrection, but a careful reading of the Bible presents a different picture. The Ascension is a special event in its own right - it's the coronation of Jesus as king over the nations.

"God wants you to prosper." Most of you have probably heard a preacher say that over the years, but recently the “prosperity gospel” has become a favorite punching bag for critics of pentecostal and charismatic ministers.

What does it mean to have "good" sex? Most people would relate that to the intensity and pleasure of the experience, but the Biblical writers have something else in mind. In this special Valentine's Day episode, Ian takes a deep into a passage from 1 Thessalonians in which the Apostle Paul instructs men to "control their vessel." This counter-cultural sexual ethic is not an arbitrary command; it is derived from the Bible's vision of how the universe really works.

The swift punishment of Ananias and Sapphira’s sin recorded in Acts 5 is reminiscent of the kind of judgment we see in the Old Testament. Readers are left with questions - why no opportunity of repentance? Why no chance to be restored? It’s a harsh passage, and no commentary or sermon has ever been able to blunt the edge. But what if that was the author Luke’s intention all along? Link to the article referenced: https://academia.edu/resource/work/3995991
