Everyone has things they believe in. Somethings we hold dear and will fight for and other things we are really rather flippant about because we think they do really matter. We live in a world where truth and belief are often confused, for instance, some suggest strongly that we are to value the beliefs of others. While I would admit that we ought to listen to others to understand their given belief and do this with respect for those whose beliefs may differ from our own. This shouldn't suggest that just because one holds a belief there is value (or what Stephen Colbert has called "truthiness") in that belief. The fact is many people have and still do belief things that are wrong and even dangerous. A radical example of this would be the belief system of Hitler and how his ideas where realized in Nazi Germany. Most people would agree that Hitler was wrong and the beliefs he had were wrong and dangerous. We often, however, do not place beliefs that some hold about God and the gospel on this level -- of actually being dangerous. God is Truth. What God has said about Himself and who we are is of radical importance -- not because these things are believed but because of who declared them to be True. Our mission at RenewalCast.com is to be one resource (among many greater ones) in helping to ground your belief on Truth that is revealed to us by God Himself in Scripture.

The Endtimes: Classic Dispensationalism with guest Randy White

3/2/2023
In an effort to represent (and not misrepresent) the various views we wanted to talk about in this series we tried to get some of the best representatives from each position. You can find out more about Randy White HERE! The following is Generated by AI: Summary/Abstract Randy White is a pastor and the founder of Dispensational Publishing House which publishes Bible study materials from a Dispensational perspective. He has been a pastor for over 30 years and does daily Bible teaching at randywhiteministries.org. He lives in the beauty of Tau, New Mexico and pastors a small church which he calls America's greatest tiny church. On the podcast, Randy is representing the Dispensational perspective in a series on Eschatology, the study of the end times. He believes that we should question the assumptions and make sure we are right according to the Scripture. Distensationalism is a hermeneutic, or method of interpreting scripture, which recognizes that at certain points in progressive revelation, God has given a revelation that is so fundamental that it changes everything from that point forward. Dispensationalists look for these points when “the rules of the game changed”. There is a huge range of opinions and interpretations within Dispensationalism and the number of dispensations can vary, with some citing three or four while others cite seven or nine or ten. However, it can be simplified to understanding that life in the Garden of Eden was drastically different than life outside the Garden. The conversation discusses the concept of dispensationalism, which is the idea that God deals with people differently depending on the dispensation (or period of time) they are living in. Dispensationalism looks at scripture and determines how much of it is applicable to all people for all time, and how much is specific to certain people living under certain rules of that dispensation. Examples of different dispensations are the Garden of Eden, the giving of the Law, the dispensation of grace, and the future kingdom dispensation. The conversation also clarifies that the dispensation of grace is the period of time in which Gentiles are given access to God's covenants and hope. Dispensationalism is a hermeneutic approach to interpreting the Bible that looks at the progression of God's revelation throughout history. It holds to a pre-tribulation, pre-millennial view of the end times in which the Church is raptured before the Tribulation, followed by the second coming of Christ before the millennium. In addition to this eschatology, it also emphasizes a separation between Israel and the Church, believing that the future kingdom of Christ will be physical, fraternal, and established through the nation of Israel. This interpretation of the Bible is closely associated with pre-millennialism because it looks for fundamental moments in Scripture where things change, such as the new revelation of salvation through grace by faith.

Series Introduction: EndTimes

2/24/2023
Renewal Cast is a weekly podcast that explores biblical and theological subjects in order to shape and renew minds through the power of the Holy Spirit. In this episode, they introduce a series on eschatology, or the study of end times. They explain why they are doing this series, how it will be structured and why one should listen to it. Eschatology is about facts and events at the end of history, both individual (death/soul) and general (Christ's return). The hosts acknowledge there is plenty of material out there on this subject, but not all good; their goal is to provide an overview while presenting different views with respect as many hold different views while still being considered Orthodox. This podcast series discusses the importance of studying eschatology, or the end times. It includes interviews with those who have written and published on this view and explores both classic and progressive dispensationalism as well as historic pre-millennial and post-millennial views. The hosts encourage questions from listeners to be answered in a wrap up episode at the end. They emphasize that studying eschatology is important because it is revealed in scripture, provides hope for believers, promotes personal piety, and serves as a model for evangelism. This text discusses the importance of studying the end times and how it relates to our understanding of Jesus and His purpose. It emphasizes that our view should be comforting, not a scare tactic, and illustrates the need for good theology in order to understand how different texts relate to one another. To learn more about this topic, Darrell Bock's book "Three Views on the Millennium and Beyond" is recommended as a resource.

Understanding Covenant Theology with Guest Michael Brown

2/16/2023
Get the Sacred Bond book Michael Brown is a minister in the United Reform Churches in North America and a missionary in Milan, Italy. He was a pastor and church planner in San Diego, California and is now pastor of a church called Kieza Ariformata Philadelphia in Italy. Covenant Theology is a way of reading and interpreting the Bible through the lens of God's covenants. It is an important and practical subject and Michael Brown has written a book called Sacred Bond that he coauthored with Zach Keel which is an introduction to Covenant Theology. In this episode, Michael Brown explains the different types of Covenant Theology and how it can be used to better understand the Bible. In the Bible, God's covenant with Abraham in the Book of Genesis and the covenant at Mount Sinai with the nation Israel in Exodus are some of the most important themes. These covenants are referenced throughout the Old and New Testament and Jesus instituted a new covenant. Reformed theologians in the 16th and 17th centuries developed Covenant Theology as a way to interpret scripture and unify the Old and New Testament. They identified three overarching covenants: the covenant of redemption, the covenant of works, and the covenant of grace. Monocovenantalism is not accepted by reformed theology and is seen as a danger to flatten out the distinction between the covenant of works and covenant of grace.
