Show Notes

Jim from Chicago had called some years ago and is now updating Matt as to his journey of faith and walk with Christ since they last spoke.

Jim offers a heartfelt testimony that demonstrates that he has struggled with a variety of difficulties which many Christian listeners may find common in their personal walk with God. Matt explains that our relationship with Christ is secured and maintained by His work on our behalf. No matter what sorts of personal struggles may grip us, His word says in many varieties of ways that He is faithful to bring us through any problems in this present world. We are to depend on His finished work at the cross and depend as well on His Word to guide us in the hear and now.

Ely from New York asks about the Kalam Cosmological Argument. With a follow-up question about the wicked being in suffering “Day and Night” as mentioned in the Revelation 14:11. Does this mean there is literally days and nights in the afterlife where the lost suffer?

Caller Craig from The United Kingdom is seeking to sharpen his witness to Jehovah’s witnesses and compares some of the differences he has noted when dealing with them, as opposed to dealing with Mormons he has encountered.

Caller Darcy from Washington: Matt encourages him to feel free to use materials from the CARM site. Following is some interesting talk about Calvinism and “limited atonement” in particular.
