Laymen's Cup Podcast

The Laymen are four men, who love God first, then their wives and children. We have a deep desire to study God’s Word and to live on mission for him. As we study God’s Word, we love to break it down and discuss it in a way that everyone can understand. We are not scholars, even though some of us wish we were. We are normal men with normal jobs trying to figure out how to Glorify God and live a life on mission for him.

This is another "Straight out of Context" episode. This week we discuss Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." I think every young Christian has taken encouragement in this verse and thought "when I sit down and pray or read my Bible with another person, God is present." Surely you have heard this verse read in a worship service before. Is this the context of the verse? When you begin to read it, start in verse 15, and read it in the context in which Jesus spoke. Something you will notice, Jesus says "If your brother or sisters sins..." This does not seem like he is discussing worship or your Bible Study.

Like most verses though, taking it in the context in which it is written is much more powerful. We as brothers and sisters need to have an authority and accountability in our lives. True love of a friend is giving that friend the ability to hold you accountable for your actions. We also need to give authority to our local church to hold us accountable, and when we step in sin, the church needs authority in correcting us. In the context of this verse we see the process of dealing with a brother or sister that has stepped into sin and how to handle the situation in a loving way.

Friday Preview, on Monday show we will discuss Matthew 18:20

Feb 21, 2016

Pornography has become a multi-billion dollar industry. The number of people who admit to watching porn goes up each year. This is a sin that has become very widespread. It a sin that destroys those who view it, slowly but surely. In this episode the guys bring back Pastor Chris of Denver Baptist Church to help us find a way to defeat this horrific sin.

They say that pornography is the most addictive sin; more addictive than drugs. That does not mean that is impossible to beat. The trick is find what we love more. That should be Jesus, because he has a surpassing love for us. When someone turns to him, he will help those who struggle in this sin.

In today's society we have a warped sense of sex. It is not something new. It actually started after the fall. When sin entered the world, the human's view of sex fell with it. How are we, as Christians, supposed to view sex? For most, it was taught in churches that it is some forbidden thing that should never be discussed, but in the world it is everywhere we look. There is not a commercial you can see or hear that doesn't have some sexuality to it. It is everywhere we look. We live in a hyper sexual culture. In this episode Pastor Chris stops by and helps the Laymen discover the proper view of sex.

Proverbs 22:6 says "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." We have all seen or heard of kids raised in the church and when they went out into the world they departed from everything they learned. What happened? Did the parents sin? Did they fail as a Christian parents? Hasn't the Bible promised this wouldn't happen? This is why it is important to not only get this verse right, but also have a correct understanding of the book of Proverbs. In this episode we discuss this verse and the ways we discipline and train our children. 

The Laymen would like to say Congratulations to Deathwish Coffee. They won a small business contest and had a thirty second commercial during the Super Bowl. If you haven't tried their coffee yet, do yourself a favor and go get some. You will not be disappointed.

We had another Laymen’s Cup road trip this week leading to a candid interview with Dr. Danny Akin, the President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. Akin has been president of SEBTS since 2004. He has been married to his bride, Charlotte, for 37 years, and they have raised four boys. Dr. Akin has authored numerous books including God on Sex: The Creator’s Ideas about Love, Intimacy and MarriageHe is also editor of the Christ-Centered Exposition SeriesThis is a great series for anyone who wants to learn more about the Bible.

When we sat down with Dr. Akin we had one question; “What does it mean when we say ‘Biblical Marriage?'” From there, the conversation had a life of its own. We discussed the Bible’s expectations for husbands, arguing with your spouse, how to raise children in the light of Scripture, and many other topics on marriage. It is an hour well spent with a godly man who was a great encouragement to us, and hopefully to you as well.
