CPR: Are we sinning when we do not glorify God?

Isn’t it impossible to always glorify God? If it can’t be done, what’s the point? How can we navigate these difficult questions as a Christian? Considering questions like these in a broad and narrow way while defining terms help us relate back to the wisdom of God’s Word and Christ our Savior. Join Pastors Mark Tiefel and Neal Radichel for this discussion on what it means to glorify God when it comes to our daily sin and sanctification. source https://burdenblessing.podbean.com/e/cpr-are-we-sinning-when-we-do-not-glorify-god/ [...]

Apostles Series | Judas Iscariot

Despite being the one who betrayed Jesus, Judas Iscariot is probably one of the most well known of the apostles. Pastors Nathanael and Mark dig into what the Bible tells us about Judas and explore questions surrounding why he would betray Jesus and what might have been going on in Judas’ head as these events unfolded. Even though Judas is seen as an enemy of Christ, it is important that we humbly account for the ways in which we might... Read More Read More [...]

Skeptics Series | The Disciples Stole Jesus’ Body

One of the most popular arguments against the resurrection of Jesus is that the disciples stole Christ’s body out of the tomb. This response to the resurrection was first formulated by the Jewish leaders who executed Jesus. Pastors Neal and Mark take a look at this argument and explain how the Bible thoroughly debunks it in several different areas. In fact, this lie first given by the Jewish leaders actually further substantiates the miracle of the resurrection today. source https://burdenblessing.podbean.com/e/skeptics-series-the-disciples-stole-jesus-body/ [...]

Apostles Series | Paul

Paul was one of the most influential apostles yet perhaps the most unlikely as well. Formerly known as Saul, and a great persecutor of the Church, Paul’s story reminds us that the grace of Christ can reach anyone. No sin is too great to be forgiven and no individual too lost to be used in the service of God’s kingdom. source https://burdenblessing.podbean.com/e/apostles-series-paul-1651676323/ [...]

Skeptics Series | Jesus Didn’t Really Die on the Cross (The Swoon Theory)

Our next installment of the Skeptics Series looks directly at the death and resurrection of Jesus. One of the most popular skeptical arguments about Jesus’ resurrection is that He never died to begin with, at least not on the cross on Good Friday. Often referred to as the Swoon Theory, this idea proposes that Jesus merely fainted on the cross and revived Himself in the tomb. Pastors Mark and Neal dig into this theory to show how God thoroughly addresses... Read More Read More [...]

Bangladesh May 2023

I've been home for a few days, and I'm not anywhere near caught up on sleep or over the jet lag, but duty calls. There are emails to answer, reports to be written, trips to be planned, and the car needs an oil change, the grass needs to be mowed, and there's a lengthy list of things to do before we celebrate Lydia's homeschool high-school graduation in about a week and a half. It's going to be a wonderfully busy next few weeks before the CLC Mission Helper Trip to Nepal at the end of June! The visit to Bangladesh was… [...]

Remembering with Thanksgiving Those Who Faithfully Labored Before Us...

Retired missionary, personal mentor, and hero Dave Koenig recently shared the following. This man's memory and knowledge base is a blessing from the Lord. And yet his zeal for the Gospel and love for the lost is most inspiring!From Missionary Dave Koenig...Tradition has had June 29th as St. Peter and St. Paul's Day. It is thought that on June 29th Paul was beheaded in Rome after his second imprisonment, though we can't say for sure. June 29th among many has now become the Day of the Christian Martyr. In joy we have our Missionary Naumann serving now in Tanzania. It is good to look… [...]

A Blessed Week in the Philippines...

I'm sitting in a hotel room near the western coast of Manila in the Philippines, waiting for 4:00 pm to roll around when I will take a short taxi ride to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Pastor Rob Sauers headed to the airport early this morning (4/27) for his flight home. He'll fly from Manila to Tokyo to Los Angelos to Orlando. Somewhere along the line, he'll cross over the crazy international timeline in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and will gain a whole day. But, he's got a looong day ahead of him. I have just two short flights… [...]
