The world has a lot of opinions about Christianity. And truth be known, we deserve some of the maligning some of the time. But sometimes they make my blood boil! Many opinions are formed when parts of scripture are taken out of context and used to make wide-reaching statements about God and Christianity as whole. In this episode Michael encourages us to study the scriptures from a broader perspective, in context, in order to understand Why We Believe What We Believe. Join us as we continue our series wi

Why we believe what we believe about Inspiration is not important to our faith, it is crucial, because if indeed this is God's message to man, rooted from God to us in these forms we hold today, it is the message of hope, life, truth, and salvation to which we ascribe and which we hope to share with others. Is the Bible the Word of God, or not? Listen as Michael teaches part one of two on the Doctrine of Inspiration.

When we think about the doctrine of the Trinity--that there are 3 persons in one godhead--even for academics and theologians, this is mind-bending. Scripture has a lot to offer about the relationship not only within the Trinity, but on how human beings relate to God. The way God draws people to Himself is a mystery, but what the Bible tells us about the way we're related to Him is to understand the relationship between God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Today's episode is part two of

It's interesting when faith finds its way into the Media. We have bylines and idioms that we use to talk about "Christianity" very broadly. There are so many groups that call themselves "Christian" that it begs the question: What is a true believer? In today's episode, Michael teaches about the Doctrine of the Trinity using supporting texts from Deuteronomy and Matthew. This series was originally given to the students and faculty at Moody Bible Institute. To review our Show Notes, visit: https://micha

When I look at my Christian life, one of the most frustrating components is that I look so much like the world. I go to the movies, or go out to eat, or to different venues and I look so much like everyone else there. I wonder, If I call myself a Christian, am I to look any different than the world? We know the phrase "in the world, not of the world," and I have to confess that's frustrating to me because I think I'm in and of the world quite often. How about you?

How do we live in today’s cultural climate with a Biblical worldview? Does the Bible apply to our lives? How are we allowing the world to form our theology? As Christians, it is vital that we are able to understand and articulate why we believe what we believe. Join Michael Easley as he explores and explains Christian doctrine and theology in the first episode of this 14-episode series. This series was originally given to the students and faculty at Moody Bible Institute. You can review our full Sho

This is our 6th full episode of Ask Dr. E! We love hearing from you as you write or call in to submit your questions. Could Jesus do anything on earth, or only what God instructed Him to do? Can we walk out of the hand of God after we're secure in our salvation? Did Jesus' blood atones for the sins of everyone or just for a select group? What do you think of the trend of people "hearing from God?" Does God still speak to us? What do you think of Jephthah's vow, which ultimately led to the sacrifice of his

In his second letter, Peter warns believers not to let false teaching affect them. In fact, it can be considered a growing Christian's role to Be On Guard. In this episode Michael teaches through 2 Peter 3:14-18 where Peter writes with an urgency and command seen in four main verbs: Be Diligent, Regard the Patience, Be on Your Guard, Grow.

Consider the feeling of being in the Waiting Room. Maybe you're in pain, ill, or anxious. Perhaps the staff around you are stressed out or calloused. Maybe the actual room is less than comfortable. When we're sitting in a Waiting Room, we want or need help or answers, and we may not be able to get it - at least not in the timeline we'd prefer. What sort of people ought we be while we wait? In this episode Michael teaches from 2 Peter 3:8-13, where Peter addresses the imminent return of Christ and what

In 2 Peter Chapter 2, we studied a clear warning against false teaching and immorality. Now Peter addresses his audience as a pastor, encouraging his readers to remember God’s word in the face of coming opposition and mockers’ denial of Christ’s return.
