Inverted Orthodoxy 370- AER, Paul, Meaning of Life, and Theologically based worship music

Inverted Orthodoxy

In this weeks episode, Pastors Kyle, Blake and Doug discuss the following listener questions:

(1:24 into episode) Thank you for the time you’ve taken to answer my questions. I value the sensitivity, wisdom, tenderness and how you’ve taken in helping me process my questions. This pod cast is life giving.

(3:07 into episode) Thank you very much for the time each of you have taken to sit in the quiet with the Lord to learn his wisdom and let him mold your understanding of His character. You’ve obviously let your roots grow deep in his love and now we get to enjoy the fruit of that process. Keep going! I also really appreciate your thoughts on God’s justice. It hit me: God’s vengeance looks like God redeeming Paul. God bless.

(4:05 into episode) In Acts 21:4, Paul, by people speaking through the Spirit was told not to go to Jerusalem. Later, he was again told that he would be persecuted and die there. Yet he was sure that he needed to do this. Why did he do it? Was it because he wanted to be like Jesus? Was he trying to do what he thought was right instead of listening to the Spirit? I know I can easily get stuck in that type of thing.

The other day I sent in a question about why Paul insisted on going to Jerusalem, even though many, including a profit told him he shouldn’t go. Now, I’m reading acts 2218, where Jesus himself comes to Paul while he is praying: “ 18 (I) saw the Lord speaking to me. ‘Quick!’ he said. ‘Leave Jerusalem immediately, because the people here will not accept your testimony about me.’”Would Paul have stayed alive if he’d listened?

(16:52 into episode) What exactly is life? Why did God put us on earth to live a life? Is it a blessing (how and why?) or is it a teaching, as in iron sharpens iron?

(33:05 into episode) What is your favourite theologically sound worship song?
