Guiding Our Adult Children Through Difficult Times - Dr. Richard Bargas
Season 2 · Episode 19
lundi 7 octobre 2024 • Duration 01:05:27
There are a lot of questions when it comes to our adult children and our responsibility toward them. Are we responsible for them at all once they are out of our home? Is the “age of accountability” a biblical idea? How should we handle their rebellion? What about if we find out that they are deep in sin, or worse, claim they have deconstructed? How can we help them in times of need and hurt? Richard Bargas walks through these questions and seeks wisdom from the Bible to help Christian parents of adult children know what our responsibility is to the wayward and hurting.

Five Reasons Why Dispensational Premillennialism Needs to Be Taught in Your Church- Dr. Richard Bargas
Season 2 · Episode 10
lundi 20 mai 2024 • Duration 57:35
We are living during a time when the evangelical Christian church, in general, has downplayed theology so much that we are not seeing many churches denigrate anything outside of the basic gospel message. It has become fashionable in some circles to shorten church doctrinal statements to the point that they are only a few short sentences. Dispensational Premillennialism is one of those areas where more and more Christians are unwilling to see as important or relegate these matters to mere opinions that don’t matter. In this episode of Advancing the Cause, Richard Bargas shares five reasons why dispensational premillennialism is important to profess, protect, and promote in the church.
