Fallacies of the Flesh

Discontent - Since God has so richly blessed us, why do we ever focus on having more?

What lessons can we learn from the story of Eden, what fallacy did Eve fall for? Hasn't God blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places? We look at what Philippians 4 teaches us about contentment from a man who found all his needs met in Christ. More information available at: fallaciesoftheflesh.com [http://fallaciesoftheflesh.com/].

Isolation - Are we really alone? Or have we become isolated because of faith in shaky ideas?

In this episode we explore Elijah's struggles with feeling alone. It's a feeling very common to us all, at one point or another. How did he get there? How true were his feelings? And is it possible that it was shaky misguided ideas, and not reality, that made him alone? What is the prescription for such thinking and what can the vast cloud of witnesses in Hebrews teach us?

Pride - Do I understand the folly of pursuing my own greatness vs. imitating Christ?

In this episode we trace the pattern in scripture of how pride inevitably leads to downfall. We reflect on Stockton Rush, a modern day parable of the truth of scripture - and yet very much the spirit of our age, of all ages. We discuss how Paul contrasts this with the weakness and humilation of true Christian ministry in 1 Corinthians 4, and how through imitating Christ, we can live in a way that leads to true greatness.

Self-love & Self Hatred - Judah's experience, and triumph

We consider the topic through the lens of the life of Judah, his low points, and his ultimate triumph. What did self-hate achieve for him, and how did God's grace ultimately cause this man to abandon self, in-place of love for others?
