The Old and New

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 10 Jul 2020 08:29:23 -0500

Political Non-Negotiables

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 07 Jul 2020 11:00:00 -0500

We are carefully dipping our proverbial toes into the boiling waters of Social Justice in this new series; starting with a discussion on voting.

Sanctification (Part I)

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 08:00:00 -0500

There are many who think you merely need to conform to certain behaviors of a church culture, and when they do this, they think it is evidence they have been truly saved. However, true Christianity necessitates true sanctification.

The Christian and Politics

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 09:30:00 -0500

This is a small foray into a much bigger and complex topic related to the popular cries for social justice.

True Christianity

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 26 Jun 2020 08:00:00 -0500

There is bad thinking out there as to what it means to be converted; in other words: what a saved Christian truly is, and supposed to do.

What should the Church's responsibility be regarding protests, riots, and racism?

Procrastination

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 02 Jun 2020 08:00:00 -0500

It is hard to finish things well. Sometimes, though, we never even finish. To put it bluntly, it is the sin of procrastination. And yes, it is a sin.

Justification

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 29 May 2020 08:00:00 -0500

We're talking justification. "[It is] the legal change from a state of guilt and condemnation to a state of forgiveness and acceptance; and this change is owing solely to a gratuitous act of God..." - A.W. Pink

Self-Control

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Wed, 27 May 2020 08:00:00 -0500

Self-control is core issue for many Christians; affecting relationships, marriages, households, finances, etc. Beginning new things is very easy to do, but ending well isn't so easy.

Election

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 15 May 2020 08:00:00 -0500

Friendship Revisited

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 12 May 2020 08:00:00 -0500

Continuing with our theological anthropology, we're going through the NT terms which describe the aspects of man.

The Sin of Hearing

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 25 Feb 2020 07:00:00 -0600

There is a great sin today, but it is an old sin, of merely hearing. We see it much in our circles, as people love to hear a convicting sermon, but then rarely will it result in a change in their pattern of living and walking in a manner worthy.

Aspects of Man (Part I)

Jesus Only Baptism

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 11 Feb 2020 07:05:00 -0600

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 07 Feb 2020 07:30:00 -0600

Theology Bites: Christ, Spirit, and Bible

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 18 Oct 2019 07:00:00 -0500

Kanye

Biblical Friendship

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 03 Sep 2019 07:00:00 -0500

The culture we live in represents the idea of "friendship" in an entirely unbiblical way. A true, biblical friend is rare, and to be cherished.

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 07:00:00 -0500

Father As God

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 07:00:00 -0500

The Father as God is never debated. However, His character and relationship towards His own as their father can be wrongly unrealized and unemphasized.

Church Planter Theologian

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 23 Jul 2019 07:00:00 -0500

Having planted a church, and now starting to train church planters, we've seen the ever growing and changing methods of what a church planter should be. Some are far too removed from Paul's explicit commands.

Christian Suffering

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 07:00:00 -0500

We're back with the Trinity; this time exposing both Old and New Testament passages that emphasize the plurality of God.

The "Problem" Of Evil

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Wed, 26 Jun 2019 07:40:00 -0500

“If God is all-knowing, loving, kind, and He possesses all power and authority over all things, and He is the creator: then why is there evil?” This one is all about "theodicy."

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 14 Jun 2019 07:15:00 -0500

Limited Atonement

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 28 May 2019 07:00:00 -0500

Since Limited Atonement is one of the most heavily debated topics in Christianity, we're dissecting the "problem" passages; with a few interruptions along the way.

Unity

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 21 May 2019 07:00:00 -0500

Why Church Membership

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 14 May 2019 07:00:00 -0500

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 07 May 2019 07:00:00 -0500

Everyone agrees that you should read it. Even so, many would not know why, or equally as important - how.

How to Pray

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 30 Apr 2019 07:00:00 -0500

This spiritual discipline can incite much guilt in Christians, yet it (along with Bible reading) is most vital to the Christian's life. We're offering practical ways and resources to improve your discipline of prayer.

What Is Grace?

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 23 Apr 2019 07:00:00 -0500

Grace is a term that has gathered so many different meanings in broader Christianity, and as a result, been cheapened. So what is the true, biblical definition of "grace?"

Atonement

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 07:00:00 -0500

In church history, many views have arisen on what Christ did or did not accomplish on the cross. These range from exegetically faithful to down-right fable-y.

When To Leave A Church

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 07:00:00 -0500

There are several reasons to leave a church. More so, there are several ways to leave it well.

Spirit Filling

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 05 Apr 2019 07:00:00 -0500

The Bible makes the various realities and ministries of the Spirit quite clear, but so often understanding is clouded by emotion. We continue our talk on the Spirit with His distinct role of filling the believer.

When Not To Leave A Church

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 07:00:00 -0500

As a prelude to "When To Leave A Church," we have to talk about the vastly popular, and unbiblical reasons for leaving a church.

Spirit Indwelling

Church Discipline

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 07:00:00 -0500

An often misunderstood practice, Church discipline has been abandoned by many evangelical churches; to their detriment. We're discussing the basis and founding of this biblical mandate.

Spirit Baptism

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 22 Mar 2019 07:00:00 -0500

The Bible makes the various realities and ministries of the Spirit quite clear, but so often understanding is clouded by emotion. Holy Spirit Baptism is a much confused doctrine in Christendom. Most of the confusion comes from poor understanding of the Biblical languages. It requires critical thinking, and when understood, leads to the very thing so many are pursuing with regard to the Holy Spirit.

Knowledge vs. Communion

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 19 Mar 2019 07:00:00 -0500

In broad Evangelicalism, a distinction is often made between knowing God and communing with God. Especially that there are heightened experiences of communing with God, independent of the believer's knowledge and understanding of God. We're tackling this fable pervading the modern church.

The Traditionalist Statement of Faith Pt. 3

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 07:00:00 -0500

In this conclusion to our discussion of the "Traditionalist Statement of Faith," we discuss the three remaining articles: "The Sovereignty of God," "The Freewill of Man," and "The Great Commission."

The Two Wills of God

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 07:00:00 -0500

"How can I know God's will?" The answer is simple, but every Christian must take it and be comfortable with mystery.

The Traditionalist Statement of Faith Pt. 2

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 07:00:00 -0600

In this second part, we pick up this discussion with the next few articles of the Traditionalist's Statement of Faith: "The Sinfulness of Man," "The Atonement of Christ," "The Grace of God," "The Regeneration of the Sinner," and "The Election to Salvation."

Biblical Decision Making: The How To's

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 05 Mar 2019 07:00:00 -0600

We're picking back up with our discussion on how to make a biblical decision. It's much simpler than we often make it, and freeing.

The Traditionalist Statement of Faith Pt. 1

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 07:00:00 -0600

In the Southern Baptist Convention, there is an explicitly anti-Calvinistic movement, known as Traditionalism. In these bonus episodes, we're tackling (and at times, trashing) the movement's theology by examining each article of its "statement of faith." In this part, we're dealing with the statement's Preamble and first article: "The Gospel."

Biblical Decision Making: The How Not's

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Tue, 26 Feb 2019 06:45:00 -0600

Life is full of decisions: big and small. As a Christian, you want to be faithful and obey God, but it's hard to know what to do in the scripturally "gray" areas. Before you can know the "how to's" you have to know the "how not to's" which span from bad to evil.

The First One

Matt Henry & Matt Miller — Wed, 20 Feb 2019 21:35:00 -0600

Why a podcast? Why Faith & Fable? We're introducing ourselves, and discussing the only two things that can nourish a Christian: faith and doctrine.
