In this episode, we break down how the biblical authors tell us what to do without directly telling us what to do through descriptive passages. We are to obey them and form doctrines out of them. Descriptive passages are different styles of communication compared to prescriptive ones.

Many in our culture Idolize their bodies, even Christians 50:15

50:15

In the last days, we are told many will be lovers of themselves (2 Tim 3:1-2). Our culture is obsessed with the self, even Christians. In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Obed Kwame Adjei, a hematology and oncology fellow. We discuss the beauty and limitations of the human body. Is age just a number, or it actually determines how long you have been around. Will scientists succeed in the anti-age campaign or will physical death eventually win? With these questions looming, how ought we handle our bodies without idolizing it, knowing that our lowly bodies will be transformed (Phil 3:21).

Descriptive/Prescriptive Passages: One Way To Misinterpret Scripture 19:55

40 weeks之前19:55

19:55

There is no doubt some passages in the Bible describe events (descriptive) while others are direct commands (prescriptive) from the biblical authors to us. These are observations one cannot miss from reading the Bible. However, any suggestion that we are to obey or live by prescriptive and not descriptive passages is misleading. In this episode, we break down how the biblical authors tell us what to do without directly telling us what to do through descriptive passages. We are to obey them and form doctrines out of them. Descriptive passages are different styles of communication compared to prescriptive ones. Visit www.liveunsettled.org/programs for more information on our MeasureUp and Real Answers programs!

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is at the center of the Christian faith. All other Christian doctrines lead up to it or take their departure point from it.

In this episode, we dive into the topic of expressive individualism. Who are you? How do you determine your identity? What makes you, you? These are questions that many will struggle to correctly answer today. Our society is falling apart because the self is the determiner of truth based on one's social taste. In the past, the group was bigger than the self, today, the self is bigger than the group. How a person feels has pride of place, than what has been the standards of society for ages.
