088. Through The River

088. Through The River

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan   We so appreciate John Bunyan’s realistic description of the danger of backsliding and facing fears of death and disappointing God. This reading details our pilgrims’ final two challenges before entering the celestial city. Next week we will finish the book and share some personal takeaways.   Next week we will discuss pages 212-218 of Pilgrim’s Progress.     Order the next book we will be reading on the podcast: Stop, In the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath will Transform Your Life by Charlie Kirk   Thriftbooks: Click Here [https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/stop-in-the-name-of-god-why-honoring-the-sabbath-will-transform-your-life_charlie-kirk/56715449/?resultid=f4094003-3d19-4601-b8e1-142decd92ab7#edition=74183631&idiq=86422770]   Amazon: Click Here [https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Name-God-Honoring-Transform/dp/B0FPPV48PB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XSRNOYI7KPCC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.v-ItIXbXzR2RUdbaRoFPfe7ydfNP9gOPnLOSLEvTeXKMoiqMedQGwh8WVNJaXylWJKnAd0IE6azJc0DUYcwK4VRdDomPWWWLdT4NErJsg2wCKoboEfwBAREmnNsWzKzHe5QUGS0dRAquUFuPz_znTp5XynImyjHrKe1dZVzPfD1_dIbdtmE3qQ_uUu7FDhCuDrFMfvs5mVjlJjr46srmXCmN4zzTViLDAQFgy8czU74.KGBPjcbtkqnnHbxSBxB0eeCua2XAXyUziX_JHnw3Hrw&dib_tag=se&keywords=stop+in+the+name+of+God&qid=1769396997&sprefix=stop+in+the+name+of+go%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-1]

087. Fallacies of the Faith

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan   Some who profess faith in Christ fall into one of these two fallacies discussed in this section: putting confidence in good deeds or merely positing a faith in Jesus without any commitment to Him (which commitment is required in the definition of true faith). Christian and Hopeful have a profitable discussion with Ignorance and amongst themselves as they continue in their journey through the Enchanted Forest.   Next week we will discuss pages 204-212 to “The Happiness of Heaven Described” of Pilgrim’s Progress.     Order the next book we will be reading on the podcast: Stop, In the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath will Transform Your Life by Charlie Kirk   Thriftbooks: Click Here [https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/stop-in-the-name-of-god-why-honoring-the-sabbath-will-transform-your-life_charlie-kirk/56715449/?resultid=f4094003-3d19-4601-b8e1-142decd92ab7#edition=74183631&idiq=86422770]   Amazon: Click Here [https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Name-God-Honoring-Transform/dp/B0FPPV48PB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XSRNOYI7KPCC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.v-ItIXbXzR2RUdbaRoFPfe7ydfNP9gOPnLOSLEvTeXKMoiqMedQGwh8WVNJaXylWJKnAd0IE6azJc0DUYcwK4VRdDomPWWWLdT4NErJsg2wCKoboEfwBAREmnNsWzKzHe5QUGS0dRAquUFuPz_znTp5XynImyjHrKe1dZVzPfD1_dIbdtmE3qQ_uUu7FDhCuDrFMfvs5mVjlJjr46srmXCmN4zzTViLDAQFgy8czU74.KGBPjcbtkqnnHbxSBxB0eeCua2XAXyUziX_JHnw3Hrw&dib_tag=se&keywords=stop+in+the+name+of+God&qid=1769396997&sprefix=stop+in+the+name+of+go%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-1]

086. Our Conversion

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan   Most of the reading today covers the conversation between Christian and Hopeful about Hopeful’s conversion story. There are so many good reminders from this portion, especially the fact that we should be eager to share our own conversion story with those around us. We hope this episode encourages you to do so.   Next week we will discuss pages 194-204 to “Manner of Backsliding” of Pilgrim’s Progress.     Order the next book we will be reading on the podcast: Stop, In the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath will Transform Your Life by Charlie Kirk   Thriftbooks: Click Here [https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/stop-in-the-name-of-god-why-honoring-the-sabbath-will-transform-your-life_charlie-kirk/56715449/?resultid=f4094003-3d19-4601-b8e1-142decd92ab7#edition=74183631&idiq=86422770]   Amazon: Click Here [https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Name-God-Honoring-Transform/dp/B0FPPV48PB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XSRNOYI7KPCC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.v-ItIXbXzR2RUdbaRoFPfe7ydfNP9gOPnLOSLEvTeXKMoiqMedQGwh8WVNJaXylWJKnAd0IE6azJc0DUYcwK4VRdDomPWWWLdT4NErJsg2wCKoboEfwBAREmnNsWzKzHe5QUGS0dRAquUFuPz_znTp5XynImyjHrKe1dZVzPfD1_dIbdtmE3qQ_uUu7FDhCuDrFMfvs5mVjlJjr46srmXCmN4zzTViLDAQFgy8czU74.KGBPjcbtkqnnHbxSBxB0eeCua2XAXyUziX_JHnw3Hrw&dib_tag=se&keywords=stop+in+the+name+of+God&qid=1769396997&sprefix=stop+in+the+name+of+go%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-1]

085. The Hour of Temptation

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan   Christian and Hopeful are faced with one test after another on this leg of their journey, but they continue to make progress towards the City of Zion. This section is a good reminder that regardless of any failures you may have encountered this past week, continue to walk by faith, pursue God’s Word, and be mindful of the danger of turning aside from Him, even just a little bit.   Next week we will discuss pages 183-194 to “Good Thoughts” of Pilgrim’s Progress.     Order the next book we will be reading on the podcast: Stop, In the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath will Transform Your Life by Charlie Kirk   Thriftbooks: Click Here [https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/stop-in-the-name-of-god-why-honoring-the-sabbath-will-transform-your-life_charlie-kirk/56715449/?resultid=f4094003-3d19-4601-b8e1-142decd92ab7#edition=74183631&idiq=86422770]   Amazon: Click Here [https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Name-God-Honoring-Transform/dp/B0FPPV48PB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XSRNOYI7KPCC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.v-ItIXbXzR2RUdbaRoFPfe7ydfNP9gOPnLOSLEvTeXKMoiqMedQGwh8WVNJaXylWJKnAd0IE6azJc0DUYcwK4VRdDomPWWWLdT4NErJsg2wCKoboEfwBAREmnNsWzKzHe5QUGS0dRAquUFuPz_znTp5XynImyjHrKe1dZVzPfD1_dIbdtmE3qQ_uUu7FDhCuDrFMfvs5mVjlJjr46srmXCmN4zzTViLDAQFgy8czU74.KGBPjcbtkqnnHbxSBxB0eeCua2XAXyUziX_JHnw3Hrw&dib_tag=se&keywords=stop+in+the+name+of+God&qid=1769396997&sprefix=stop+in+the+name+of+go%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-1]

084. The Story of Little-Faith

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan   After a crazy three months, we’re back and excited to pick up where we left off in Pilgrim’s Progress and see this classic through! We rejoin Christian and Hopeful as they leave the shepherds and continue on their journey. After encounters with Ignorance and Turn-Away, Christian and Hopeful talk at length about a traveler named Little-Faith.   Next week we will discuss pages 176-183 to “Hopeful’s Account of His Conversion” of Pilgrim’s Progress.     Order the next book we will be discussing on the podcast: Stop, In the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath will Transform Your Life by Charlie Kirk   Thriftbooks: Click Here [https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/stop-in-the-name-of-god-why-honoring-the-sabbath-will-transform-your-life_charlie-kirk/56715449/?resultid=f4094003-3d19-4601-b8e1-142decd92ab7#edition=74183631&idiq=86422770]   Amazon: Click Here [https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Name-God-Honoring-Transform/dp/B0FPPV48PB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XSRNOYI7KPCC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.v-ItIXbXzR2RUdbaRoFPfe7ydfNP9gOPnLOSLEvTeXKMoiqMedQGwh8WVNJaXylWJKnAd0IE6azJc0DUYcwK4VRdDomPWWWLdT4NErJsg2wCKoboEfwBAREmnNsWzKzHe5QUGS0dRAquUFuPz_znTp5XynImyjHrKe1dZVzPfD1_dIbdtmE3qQ_uUu7FDhCuDrFMfvs5mVjlJjr46srmXCmN4zzTViLDAQFgy8czU74.KGBPjcbtkqnnHbxSBxB0eeCua2XAXyUziX_JHnw3Hrw&dib_tag=se&keywords=stop+in+the+name+of+God&qid=1769396997&sprefix=stop+in+the+name+of+go%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-1]
