    God Commands Holiness, Not Healthiness | Embracing Grace #2

    You'll often hear me say "God doesn't call us to be healthy, but He does call us to be holy." I know this will bother some people, especially those who have been exposed to the Prosperity Gospel. This episode focuses on what I've learned from God's word that makes me want sufferers to understand and embrace this important truth so that they can more fully glorify God, even in their pain.

    How We Reacted to the Divine Council Worldview

    The Divine Council Worldview doesn't just affect how we read the Bible; it changes our lives. So why do so many people (including me!) react so poorly when we first encounter it? And does it really matter if we embrace it? I sat down with my good friend, Chris Lenoir, to discuss those very questions.  My Satan series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5oAvNLE5030_XWDG9oWCKfB4aMbXMUbh&si=XT_yZos_HrViFV7_  Chris's Angelology series (subscribe while you're there!): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUWh2PtaHWAmiuJj-TSmdANjN9O6pGgDT&si=gzkPzKRFFU7aLRum  Time Stamps:00:00 Intro01:07 Briefly explaining the Divine Council Worldview08:18 How we’ve seen people react12:58 How Chris first reacted15:00 How Ray first reacted18:06 Why Ray changed his mind20:11 Why Chris changed his mind20:53 The influence of Christian Tradition27:35 Does DCW remove God’s sovereignty?33:27 How DCW has changed our lives34:09 Ray and spiritual warfare36:42 Chris and spiritual warfare39:25 Ray understanding Jesus as “King of Kings”41:38 Chris embracing his heavenly citizenship44:21 This stuff matters Support My WorkIf you’d like to support what I do, here are some ways you can help: • Monthly Support: https://www.Patreon.com/OnwardintheFaith  • One-Time Donations: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/OnwardintheFaith | https://account.venmo.com/u/Ray-Burns-6  Check Out My Devotionals on Amazon: • 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://a.co/d/ap0sru7  • 25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://a.co/d/0XVckX4  Hashtags#Christianity #BibleStudy #Theology #Faith #divinecouncil  Music Credits • YouTube Outro Music by UNIVERSFIELD from Pixabay • Podcast Outro Music by LesFM from Pixabay

    How Do We Read and Study the Bible? (Simple Systematic Theology #1)

    About This Video How do we read and study the Bible? What's the difference between the two? Are there things we should avoid when reading the Bible? This episode takes a first step in exploring Systematic Theology. If we want to have a biblical worldview, we must know what the Bible says and means. That means we must read the Bible for what it is: a divinely inspired historical document.
