Merry Christmas! We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas. We have a special treat for you today. We would like to introduce you to the Two Thieves. These are two guys near St. Louis who started a Podcast a few months ago. We recorded a show together where we discussed a few open handed issues, like what is Reformed Theology, how we started podcasting, and past guests. We hope you enjoy this show, and go check out the Thieves at www.twothievespodcast.com

Today's coffee is a secret. Kemp threw a wrench in the mix and played a game with us. As it turns out, Wes is the only one who gets it right.
Again, Merry Christmas, everyone. We believe that Christ came on this very special day, or at least its what we celebrate on this day. When he came, he came as God, laid in a manger, fully God and fully man all in one package. We believe in the Virgin Birth, and the perfection of his life. Without those facts, his death would be meaningless. With it, his death means everything.
It is always our hope to get the Gospel out to as many people as possible and you can help us by sharing the show. Word of mouth is the greatest way we will get the show out to the masses. Thank you.
Please pray for us, as we are praying for you.

We are previewing Monday's show, we have two very special guest on. Also, at little sports talk.
What is the your reason for celebrating Christmas?
In this Friday Preview for an episode coming out Monday, Dec. 19th, "three wise guys" discuss all the implications and eternal impact of Luke chapter 2.
Psalm 51 is one of the greatest Psalms in Scripture. David, after a stint in sin, confesses his heart to the Lord. In doing so taught us what was true confession is. This portion of scripture has blessed many hearts and we believe, when rightly viewed, will bless you, too. It was mentioned in the show that this David, he is a pretty good writer. In this Psalm he walks through the life of a disciple.

In today's Friday Preview we discuss the upcoming episode on Psalm 51, and how did Kemp do on his test?
2nd Corinthians 4:7 says "But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us." In today's show we walk through this passage and figure out what Paul means. Jars of clay is considered a common vessel that everyone used. You would never hide something valuable in these clays vessels. What is interesting, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the most valuable archeological find in history, were found in clay pots, much like Paul mentioned here.

Psalm 23 is one of the most comforting Psalms in all the Bible. It describes the Good Shepherd, and how God is our comfort in our time of need. In this show, we walk verse by verse in the sacred text. What does it mean to be a "Good Shepherd?" Does it mean to Shepherd Sheep? Does it mean the same today as it did when it was written? Here we drive sheep, in the time of David, he led the sheep. Keep that in mind as you read through the text.

Friday Preview! On Monday we are walking through Psalm 23.
How do we fight sin? Even as Christians, we still sin. There are times where this seems unavoidable. 1st John tells us that if a person says he is without sin, then he is a liar. We know that people struggle with sin. Can we fight it? Can we rid our life of sin? This is a question all of us deal with. Yes, we are forgiven, yes, our salvation is secure. Through sanctification, God is working to purify us. There is still a tendency for each of us to sin. How do we fight off the temptation, and quit sinning? You will have to wait to the end of the show to find out, and it is something you already know.

On this preview we discuss an email we received.
Tithing is always a touchy subject. The question asked is "how much should I keep?" We know that everything is God's; everything that we have is his. Therefore, how much should we keep and how much should we give and is tithing a law? We know that God designed that we give to the mission, but is it a law that we give the traditional 10%?
On the show we also discuss the busy week. How are we to respond to the election and people's reactions to it?

Friday Preview, we discuss the election and sports.
This episode is coming out on Monday, one day before the most dreaded election in modern history. I have yet to meet a person who feels good about any candidate in the election. For conservative Christian, we can say in good faith, that we do not have a good choice, so what do we do? Our friend and Pastor, Dr. Chris Griggs, who preached one of the best sermons we have heard on politics, comes on to help us sorts this out. His sermon can be heard here, Denver Baptist iTunes. It was delivered on October 30th.
On today's episode, Chris helped us think through three "planks" that Christians should vote on. One is life, but not just the womb, but from womb to tomb. Secondly, religious freedom. Lastly, he spoke on law, and how those candidates view the law.

Come and hear Kemp's platform for the REAL Party 2016.
We had a special guest for this FP, check it out.
The Laymen spend a lot of time studying the Bible. We believe that to know God, you must be in his word. God revealed himself in the Bible so that we may know his character. In that, we can know his grace, love, mercy, patience and so much more. All the attributes of God can be known through his word. Recently a pastor was quoted in saying that his church exists so that a person may experience God. He continues by saying that we do not need to study God, we only need to experience him. We were all in agreement that is a false statement.

Tonight's coffee was brought to us by a dear friend Dan Henderson. His daughter is a missionary overseas and when he was visiting her, he bought this coffee for us. For that, Dan, thank you. After listening to the show, you will know why he is now off the hook from buying us coffee again.

In this Friday preview we discuss the upcoming show coming out on Monday, and we have a lot of fun doing it.
In the Baptist faith, potluck is a word that everyone wants to hear. A potluck meal is where people bring different dishes to a group dinner. It is one of the best times of fellowship for any Baptist. We come, we talk, we discuss, and well...we eat. The best part is that every person brings their best dish, and we eat well.
This episode is much like a potluck meal. We discuss a wide array of topics including, deacons, the ECU Band, HB2, and so much more. Come and listen and enjoy.

In this episode we had the great privilege of interviewing Pastor Douglas Wilson. If you do not know Pastor Wilson, you should. He is the Pastor at Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho. He writes a blog, Blog & Mablog, at https://dougwils.com. You can find many of his videos on youtube, including a debate he did with the late Christopher Hitchens. He also has authored more books than can be mentioned here. One you should check out is "Rules for Reformers."
It was a great honor to discuss certain topics with Pastor Wilson. He grew up as a Southern Baptist, and is now a reformed Presbyterian. We discussed his church, his views of education and much more.

You can hear the excitement in our voice. When we recorded this, we just got off the phone with our "Big Fish." Come and listen to hear who it is.
Kemp's back! If one person could have two contrasting weeks, Kemp sure did. He spent a week on the mission field, and had an amazing time and saw God work in incredible ways. Then he came home to one of the hardest weeks he ever had in his professional career. We spent time listening to his stories and testimonies.
Please pray for our beloved city of Charlotte. We all live about forty-five minutes outside of Charlotte, but if you ask us, we are from Charlotte. It is the city we love, the city we work in, and the city we recognize as home. It is hurting, and so are we. Especially pray for Kemp, whose career is protecting Charlotte.

In this episode we discuss our presumptions verses evidence. Specifically, what we are discussing is two types of apologetics. We have discussed apologetics before on the show. It is a study of defending our faith. Evidential apologetics uses the evidence of the world to prove that God exists, and that the Bible is true. If you have never studied this discipline, it is very interesting. Presumption apologetics uses our assumption of our faith to prove Christianity. For example, we believe that the Bible is God's Word and we will use scripture to prove that God exists.
Both of these disciplines are important, and both have its position in evangelism. If you are interested in the evidence side, look up Frank Turek, Alex McFarland and Norman Giesler. If you are interested in the presumption side, look up Douglas Wilson, Apologia Radio, and James White.
