Good Call with Andrew Farley

To whom is the book of James written? To Christians only, or to unbelievers, or to both?

And what should we make of James 4 when it addresses sinners who need to be cleansed and have their hearts purified and draw near to God?

In the short clip, I address this important question.

Enjoy!

Some churches and denominations seem to wave a magic wand over Scripture, affirming lifestyles that are clearly not of God. Maybe you have a friend or family member engaged in a way of life that you know is sinful, and it has you wondering if they’re actually a believer.

Can we always judge a book by its cover? After all, only God knows the heart. We may express our disapproval of behavior not aligned with the New Testament, but navigating these tricky waters also requires wisdom and love. So, what’s our role when we see others struggling, straying, or even justifying sin?

In this clip, you’ll discover how to be a beacon of grace for others who are genuinely seeking the truth. Click to watch and find peace in letting Jesus be the final word!

With earthly contracts, there are two or more parties involved, and sometimes there’s a cancellation clause. This clause lets one party back out of the deal if certain conditions are not met.

Daniel from Louisiana called in to our radio program to ask if the New Covenant has a cancellation clause. Is there any way that we can willfully back out, break the covenant, and thereby lose our salvation?

In this short clip, I address this important question.

Cameron called in to ask about the “perfection” we have in Christ versus the “godliness” we’re called to in our attitudes and actions.

How do these two fit together?

In this episode, I address these two concepts and also talk about God’s answer to perfectionism.

Has church membership ever felt more like a maze of requirements than the Gospel? A caller recently asked about her church requiring membership to take communion. Does fellowship really depend on formal paperwork?

In this , I dive into what it truly means to be part of the body of Christ. We’re talking about an organism, not an organization. Hebrews encourages us to gather but doesn’t mention forms, sign-ups, classes, or tithing quotas. Whether it’s a coffee shop chat, a church service, or praying on a friend’s porch, gathering is about encouragement, not pressure.
