Lectionary Monday: War in Heaven (Revelation 12) – A Higher Things® Video Short

God v. Satan. People imagine the war in heaven as a dramatic scene of superheroes going at it. But it’s all over in just one verse. God so beats Satan, that Satan ends up doing what God wants him to do. God is so powerful that He can make even evil turn out for good, especially for those who are in Christ.

Fun Word Friday: Are you saved? How? When? – A Higher Things® Video Short

Are you saved? How do you know? Where do you point? Your savior, or your decision? Jesus is the One who saves, we are the ones who receive salvation from Him. Salvation in Christ is by grace alone through faith, not by our works, decisions, choices, improvement, or anything that we do.

Bible Study Thursday: (Gal 4:16)The Gospel trumps a preacher’s delivery-A Higher Things® Video Short

When given the choice between winsome people, slick words, a great delivery, and good works of the Law…and the forgiveness of sins won by Jesus on the cross and delivered to you in water, word, bread, and wine… You’ve got to stick with Jesus! Because the other thing damns. What’s most important is the Gospel. That alone saves you.

Out of Context Tuesday: The Fruit of the Spirit vs Works of the Flesh – A Higher Things® Video Short

The fruit of the Spirit is actually singular (not the fruitS of the Spirit). The works that we do are self-evident…and plural. One Lord, one faith, one baptism…produces one fruit which flows from faith, because it grows from a good tree.

Lectionary Monday: The Thankful Samaritan and what we learn from him – A Higher Things® Video Short

10 lepers were healed, 1stuck around to thank Jesus and worship Him as God. And that guy was a Samaritan — not a faithful Jew. The point of the story is not to command us to be thankful, but to see that thankfulness is a fruit of faith. All 10 lepers got healed. 1 had faith to see the gift for what it was, and the Gift-Giver for Who He is.

Fun Word Friday: Christianity and Aliens (Storm Area 51 edition) – A Higher Things® Video Short

They’re storming Area 51 this weekend. If they find evidence of alien life, what effect does that have on the Christian faith? Actually…none. Because your faith is not based on whether there’s life elsewhere in the galaxy. It’s founded Christ and Him crucified.

Bible Study Thursday: What your pastor wants from you (Gal 4:13-15) – A Higher Things® Video Short

Your pastor isn’t so worried about gaining your respect, having you like him, or getting paid lots of money (those things are all nice, of course). What your pastor wants is for you to believe the Words he preaches to you as an ambassador of Jesus. More than anything else, he wants you to repent of your sins and receive the forgiveness that is yours in Christ.

Who needs the good things you do? God doesn’t – A Higher Things® Video Short

We often think that if we do enough good works, they’ll balance out our sins and we’ll get to go to heaven. Or that we owe good works to God for all that He’s done for us. But good works don’t earn our way into heaven, and God doesn’t need them from us. You know who does need our good works and our keeping of the Commandments? Our neighbors.

Out of Context Tuesday: Good Samartian & the failure of our religion – A Higher Things® Video Short

Sure, Jesus! I’m all for helping my neighbor…but who’s my neighbor? Our faith is not about checking boxes of good works. If that’s how you’re going about living your religion, justifying yourself by the ways you’ve helped your neighbor, you’re doing it wrong. When unbelievers are more merciful than you, it’s time to repent.
