RenewalCast
Everyone has things they believe in. Somethings we hold dear and will fight for and other things we are really rather flippant about because we think they do really matter. We live in a world where truth and belief are often confused, for instance, some suggest strongly that we are to value the beliefs of others. While I would admit that we ought to listen to others to understand their given belief and do this with respect for those whose beliefs may differ from our own. This shouldn't suggest that just because one holds a belief there is value (or what Stephen Colbert has called "truthiness") in that belief. The fact is many people have and still do belief things that are wrong and even dangerous. A radical example of this would be the belief system of Hitler and how his ideas where realized in Nazi Germany. Most people would agree that Hitler was wrong and the beliefs he had were wrong and dangerous. We often, however, do not place beliefs that some hold about God and the gospel on this level -- of actually being dangerous. God is Truth. What God has said about Himself and who we are is of radical importance -- not because these things are believed but because of who declared them to be True. Our mission at RenewalCast.com is to be one resource (among many greater ones) in helping to ground your belief on Truth that is revealed to us by God Himself in Scripture.

Christ Alone!
In today’s episode of ‘ReNEWalCast’ podcast hosts are discussing Christ Alone. It's a subject that was relevant at the time of the Reformation and has just continued and its importance in different ways. From today’s episode, we will be able to see the importance of the doctrine and learn to love it even more.Episode Highlights•01:02 – Christ Alone means the object of our faith is in Christ and it's only in Christ, nothing else.•02:40 – The church also controls the Christian life, even from the very beginning of the believer’s life.•04:01 – The host says he has people in his church that are coming out of this group that is finding grace and wonderful comfort in Christ alone.•05:01 - Do those who look for their salvation in saints in themselves or elsewhere really believe in the only Saviour Jesus Christ?•06:46 –Sinners’ prayer can be an object that is pulling our faith away from Christ.•08:10 –Salvation message was, ask for forgiveness of your sins and all who asked for forgiveness are saved. •10:15 – Somebody who's struggling with reassurance and coming to Christ and hasn't come to faith in Christ but they've asked God to forgive them.•12:48 – If what we tell people couldn't lead the people on the cross to salvation is not the gospel.•14:03 - There's even the fruit of repentance and how he has the attitude towards the Lord.•16:07 - The Bible is about Jesus Christ.
