Listen @ http://www.brendanflannagan.com/what-is-error/ We all know the saying, “the most convincing lies are almost true.” Yet, rarely does such a commonly used colloquialism serve to perpetuate a Biblical tenet. Error, untruths, and lies surround us everyday. While we are able to determine the gross falsehoods from the truth, we have been convinced time and again by lies nearly true. Everyday finds us facing a new ‘gotcha’- one so near the truth we didn’t see it coming. Besides...

Listen @ http://www.brendanflannagan.com/what-is-the-holy-spirit/ We may understand the Holy Spirit as an emotion, a feeling, or sense. Maybe we perceive the Spirit as a type of built-in moral barometer. Perhaps, we think God’s Spirit exists within all men and allows us, after proper reflection or meditation, to speak on God’s behalf. While all of these perceptions may retain a degree of truth, they largely reveal a flawed understanding of the Holy Spirit and a low working knowledge of the...

Listen @ http://www.brendanflannagan.com/what-is-sin/ Sin; we often correlate the word with doing “bad things”. Many things inform our perception of “bad”: our conscience, the natural world, our emotions, circumstantial knowledge, and past decisions. Naturally, we weave together our moral identity using our perceptions and the resulting quilt of our conglomerated senses forms our conscience; or, how we justify our reactions to the events composing our lives. On paper, this is fine, but...

Listen @ http://www.brendanflannagan.com/who-is-jesus/ Jesus Christ has captured the world’s imagination for centuries. While most historians agree He existed, few agree on who he was. In this episode of “So What?”, we will take the tact of C.S. Lewis in his book, Mere Christianity, where he writes, “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him[Jesus Christ]: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept...

Listen @ http://www.brendanflannagan.com/what-is-a-testimony/ The word testimony remains synonymously fixed to the Christian world. We ask for testimonies, give testimonies, read about testimonies, and hear testimonies. But, what is a testimony? While a vast array of speeches, presentations, and personal interactions may all be billed in the category of “testimony,” we desire to uncover the origin and purpose of a testimony. In Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament, the word for...

Listen @ http://www.brendanflannagan.com/so-what-is-faith/ All aspects of life require a degree of faith. We have faith our car will start every morning. We believe in gravity. We trust our doctors. But, when something moves from the observable to the unobservable, from the known to the unknown, then faith kicks into high gear. Now, we must truly have faith in things unseen. We often hear, “I took a leap of faith,” “I stepped out in faith,” or “I went on blind faith.” But, what is...

Listen @ http://www.brendanflannagan.com/so-what-is-the-bible/ We often hear that the teachings of the Bible are good-and-well, but we must not take the writings too seriously. They tell us the Scriptures have been corrupted overtime and now we possess only a fragment of the original. So, we are inclined to cherry pick verses we like and ignore ones which cause division or confusion. Of course we want to be given the desires of our hearts (Ps 37:4), but we don’t really want to face eternal...

Listen @ www.brendanflannagan.com/so-what-is-repentance/ Admittedly, our modern western culture lacks the concept of repentance. Certainly, we recognize guilt and understand the nuances of the flower and chocolate apology. We "try to do good", ask for forgiveness, "promise better behavior", and apologize. We undertake all these penitent behaviors in an attempt to satisfy our guilty conscience. Yet, Biblical repentance stands apart from penance and our modern conceptions of...

Listen @ http://www.brendanflannagan.com/what-is-preaching/ We’ve all had the experience; someone is trying to tell you something important! Meanwhile, you are creeping to the door. Whew! You escaped…. then you recall: "I just felt like they wouldn’t stop preaching at me!” As humans, we do not like to be “preached at” or really for that matter to be preached nearby. We do not like to be told “what to do” or “how to do it”. We can figure it out on our own, thank you very...

Listen @ http://www.brendanflannagan.com/so-what-is-the-gospel/ Let's begin with the backstory. God is infinitely good (Ps 136:1), holy (Isa 6:3), and perfect (Ps 18:30). On the other hand, Man draws a stark contrast to God’s purity. We are born in iniquity (Ps 51:5), and continue in unrighteous (Rom 3:10), completely dead in our sins (Eph 2:1). Now, for the “bad news”: We are judged as guilty (Rom 6:23) according to God's righteous judgement (Ps 7:11). Since, God is a perfect judge- the...
What is time? Why is it important? What do we need to know about it? And will time end? The answer to these questions depends on whether you are a physicist, a writer of science fiction, a writer of songs, a philosopher or a poet.
Rioting has been around a long time. Throughout history, riots have been provoked by hunger, oppression, injustice, or even drunken celebrations run amok. Race and rice, war and whiskey, blackouts and beer, sports and sugar, and prisons and politics have all caused riots. But what is the real reason for riots?

With all the troubles facing Israel and the Middle East, newsreaders could easily miss—or ignore—an argument over posters. But, quite often, “little” issues highlight big human interest stories. One Jewish outreach group’s clash with the United Nations over a Jewish history display might do exactly that. - Full text at: http://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/zionism-and-the-united-nations#sthash.YnMwQBHx.dpuf
I suppose it is a sign of growing older when one gets into the habit of reading the obituaries in the newspaper. Especially if you have been in one place for a very long time, you find the names of friends, business associates and people with whom you have come into contact written up on the obituary pages. It is a sobering reminder of our mortality as human beings. - Full text at: http://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/a-life-well-spent
The various media constantly play on the conflict between male and female interests in the workplace, in education and in the home. The so-called “battle of the sexes” rages, if you are to believe the popular media. Of course, there are differences between men and women, and there is no doubt that in various ways and in all strata of society there are inequities that result in conflict and ill feelings.
I was reading the comics today (not as much fun as it was when I was a kid, to be sure, but still a pleasant diversion in the morning) and one of the comic strips caught my eye.
Whether it be concerning the ongoing “cultural wars” in the United States, other Western nations, as well as the State of Israel, the rising tide of Islamism in vast swaths of the world, the affairs of the ascendant People’s Republic of China, or the construction of the European Union, one question keeps being asked in various ways: What role, if any, should religion play in the affairs of society?
"If it bleeds, it leads…" seems to be the rule that newspapers, television, and other news sources use today—and they have no shortage of heinous crimes and tragic occurrences to write about.
I knew that my spiritual life was failing because my Bible study and prayer life were being severely compromised. Though I knew this, it had not really sunk in how serious it was until I was counseling for baptism with a minister in my church. I was going to college, broke and living in an apartment with three other roommates who had no regard for God. I worked at a fast food restaurant, and because the job did not pay much, I worked as many hours as I could possibly get. So after eight hours...
When I was in high school, I was in a one-act play that reached the state finals. Our last competition started at 9:00 p.m.—on Friday evening. As a Sabbath-keeper, I wasn’t able to participate. One girl from our cast asked me, “Can’t you miss church once?” She casually added, “God would understand.”
Many people claim they are “Christian.” But not many actually practice the religion they claim as their own. Is it important to practice following Christ’s teachings? - Full text at: http://www.tomorrowsworld.org/commentary/do-you-practice-being-a-christian
What do raising children and gardening have in common? Isn’t it obvious? They each require time, patience and loving care—but believe me, the rewards are far above material payoffs!
Do you have special memories of “the good old days?” Were they safer? More innocent, somehow? Many Americans who grew up in former decades, especially the sixties, the fifties, and earlier—do remember: things were different!

In the pages of the Holy Bible we find an astounding fact about the world in which we live! Revelation 12:9 states, “So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Do you believe that there is a very real Satan the Devil who has worked day and night to deceive humanity? To foist upon them convincing lies about the consequences of sin, the meaning of life, what...

In this episode we look at what the Bible says about joy, and how experiencing joy is why we are encouraged to participate in God's design for our lives.
