#59: Christmas & Easter
Some people go to church only on Christmas and Easter. Are they trying to
impress the Deity, or ease their own consciences? Does God care about Hallmark
Holidays? Is there a better way to worship God? These questions and more are on
the minds of a horse and a dinosaur. I know. Weird, huh? Let's drop in. |

#58: Adolph Hitler and Mother Teresa
Adolph Hitler and Mother Teresa are forever forwarded as the ultimate evil and
the ultimate good. The strange and unexpected common denominator between them is
that neither are believers. Religion drove Hitler away from God, at the same
time snaring Mother Teresa into a system of rites and works. True faith is found
outside both the world and religion. It is found in the saving work of of Jesus
Christ. |

#57 - The Locusts of Revelation 9, Part 2
The purpose of God's judgments is to get the world's attention. No one knows how
to do that like God. This is where the locusts come in, and the rest of the
traumas of the book of Revelation. People who now dare God to show Himself will
be sorry when He decides to do it. God's ultimate goal, however, is to save the
world. In the end, He will do just that. Judgments come for a night, but joy
lasts forever. |

#56 - The Locusts of Revelation 9
Your view of the book of Revelation and the future of earth will change when you begin taking this book literally, allowing for figures of speech. The locusts of Revelation, chapter 9, are literal. This is a scourge the likes of which our earth has never seen. Please, let us awaken to the truths of Paul's gospel of grace, which is our salvation from the coming Indignation (1 Thessalonians 1:10). |

#55 - The Story of Job
The evil that overcame Job was not his fault. Job did everything right, but was proud of it. God Himself sends evil to humble us and deliver us from confidence in our own flesh. It's a blessing in disguise, and it works. |

#54 - The 99.9% Syndrome
Did Jesus Christ save anyone at the cross? Not according
to most Christians. Most Christians believe that, for all the suffering Jesus
endured to save them, they are still not saved. Salvation, to them, depends not
upon Christ's death and resurrection, but upon their belief. And yet they still
claim Jesus Christ did 100% of the work. Is there a name for this hypocrisy?
There is! |

#53 - Fake Jesus
Back in the day, the Pharisees hung out at the
temple, while the Savior of the world frequented bars and other "shady" places,
where He fellowshipped with tax collectors and prostitutes. If you hungered and
thirsted for truth back then, you could only find it outside the established
houses of religion. Gee. I wonder if anything has changed?. |

#52 - All Is Vanity
Why does everything seem to go wrong? Because most things DO go wrong.
The reason this life rarely caters to our personal desires for order and
perfection, is that it is an experience of evil God is giving us (Ecclesiastes
1:13), not an experience of order and perfection. The good stuff is saved up for
the next life. In the meantime, God graciously provides us the necessary
contrast now to appreciate that life when it comes. Yes, this is precisely why
you are constantly looking for your car keys. |

#51 - Why Aren't Resurrected People Furious?
If dead people get whisked into heaven, why aren't resurrected people insane with rage? How would you like to be rudely snatched from perfect bliss back into a realm of sin and decay? Talk about a buzz-kill. Talk about reverse-rapture. But, contrary to Christian teaching, the dead are NOT alive. Those few who have been resurrected are not snatched from glory, but from nothingness. The dead know not anything (Ecclesiastes 9:5). Join the Crack O' Dawn players as they illustrate the happy truth that resurrection is a blessing, not a curse. |

#50 - God Hates Organized Religion
Jesus Christ Himself is not a Christian. You are free from the bondage of
organized religion. True faith cannot be institutionalized. You may be the most

When we belong to Christ, we have it made. When bad stuff happens, it works for our good. And when good stuff happens, well, it IS good. Works for good/is good. We can't lose. The only thing approximating this marvel in nature, is the grape. No matter what you do to it, it keeps getting better.

#47 - The Trinity Denies the Death of Christ
Once again, Martin Zender hammers home Scriptural truth, this time debunking the false doctrine of the Trinity. Jesus Himself said He was God's Son. Although Christ is worthy to be worshipped as God, the Son remains a separate entity. God cannot die, but Jesus literally died for the sins of humanity, and was literally resurrected three days later. The Trinity denies this. Watch Zender trash yet another nonsensical religious teaching, this time in a way you would never expect.

Pull up a chair, keep your Bible handy, and get ready to learn what Scripture teaches about abstinence. In this follow-up video about the law producing sin, Martin Zender uses scientific discoveries to show that trying to avoid certain foods or certain behaviors only causes one to eat more or sin more. God designed the law to show the failure of flesh, and the power of grace. Therefore, sometimes the best tactic is: Cease all tactics. |
