While the number of people who self-identify as Christians is in decline in America, so is the number of professing Christians who attend church gatherings or claim membership in a local congregation. More and more claim a relationship with Christ has little to nothing to do with affiliation with a church. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we emphasize several reasons why every Christian needs the church.
“Has anyone seen God?”
We also appreciate your comments and questions. If you have a Bible question others likely have the same question and often many other Bible students have been wondering about the same issue. This week we address two questions: “Has anyone seen God and lived?” and “Was the veil in the temple rent [torn] before or after Jesus died?”
Proud People Don’t Say “Thanks”
Some people have a hard time saying “thank you”. But in the eyes of God, the problem is much deeper than a personality trait or a lack of training in social graces. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we consider the serious spiritual malady that prevents man from offering God the thanksgiving he is due. Are you a truly grateful person?
“I Have Plans For You …”
Is there any Old Testament scripture more commonly quoted than Jeremiah 29:11? “For I know the plans I have for you…” Watch Let The Bible Speak as our guest speaker, Jonathan Edwards, places this scripture in his proper context.
Why Don’t We See The Bible Alike?
Is it a given that those who read the bible will “understand it differently?” There is so much division over what the bible supposedly teaches that the modern mantra is “there are many interpretations of scripture.” Is this true? The bible is a message to man from God. In every form of communication there are three elements involved: a source; a message; and a receiver. If there is a breakdown in communication, the fault must necessarily lie with one of these three. So, why do we not see the bible alike? Who or what is at fault? In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we examine three proposed answers to this question.
Q & A: “Who are the 144,000?”
If you have a Bible question others likely have the same question and often many other Bible students have been wondering about the same issue. This week evangelist Brett Hickey addresses the question: “Who are the 144,000?”
Vocal Ascend – Volume One
In Colossians 3:16, Paul writes, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
Music is a gift from God — Not only for our enjoyment — but for our comfort, growth, and mutual encouragement.
We hope you will find this collection of “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs” to be a blessing to you. If you do find the blessing in this music, please pass it along. There are social links at the bottom of the page.

Do We Need Bible Authority?
Is the Bible to govern the church’s belief and practice or are we free to do as we choose? Most people recognize some standard of authority in their life but the source of that governance is what is in question. In today’s broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we look at some of the things people who profess Christianity look to as a standard of authority and we pose the question: Do we need BIBLE authority for what the church believes, says, and does?
Q & A: “Has anyone seen God…?”
This week we address two questions: “Has anyone seen God and lived?” and “Was the veil in the temple rent [torn] before or after Jesus died?”
Back To Bethel
He was the grandson of Abraham and a chosen son, but Jacob’s life was far from exemplary. After fleeing from his enraged brother Esau, Jacob, the deceiver, had an encounter with God at a place he named Bethe, the House of God. Despite the commitments he made to the Lord that night, a sinful heart led him far away from that place. It took many years and many hard lessons learned, but at last a weary and broken Jacob listened to the Lord and went “back to Bethel.” In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, learn how we, like Jacob, can easily get away from God’s house. Is God calling you back to your own Bethel?
