Relating to the Original (11/06/2009)
The whole basis of why something is right or wrong, is based on the Person, Character and Nature of God. It's not about you and me. It's not about what our church teaches us, or our parents teach us, the consequences, what is legal or illegal, or how you feel at the moment. But it's based on the Person, Character and Nature of God.
"I Am the Truth" (10/30/2009)
What did Jesus mean when he said, "I am the Truth?" And how does it relate to lying or killing, being right or wrong?
Defining Truth (10/02/2009)
What did Jesus mean when he said, I am the Truth. People say, I love the truth! If they can't define truth, how can they know what it is? I want to teach the truth! If they cant define truth, then how do they know theyre teaching the truth? I want to go to a church where truth is taught. Well, if you cant define truth then how can you evaluate if that church is even teaching truth?
Why is hatred or lying wrong? (09/25/2009)
Why is lying wrong? Not b/c the Bible says it, not b/c your parents taught you, not b/c your Church teaches lying is wrong, not b/c of the consequences where somebody could be hurt if you lied. Hear Josh as he answers this question by pointing to the Truth.
Fall in Love with God, Not the Bible (09/24/2009)

"Because the Bible Says So!" (09/04/2009)
One of the top three reasons why people make choices is "B/c the Bible says so!" Is this a good reason? Josh will continue his "Right From Wrong" talk on this fifth reason. 1) their parents taught them, 2) their church taught them, 3) b/c of the consequences (it hurts people), 4) because of how they feel, and 5) b/c the Bible says so.
