This week is my reading of Part 4 of my Substack series on God's law. In this article, I look at the second and third uses of God's law. On the one hand, God's law serves as a light and lamp for believers, guiding them in how they should live and in what it means to love their neighbor. On the other hand, the law restrains unbelievers, preventing them from being as wicked as they otherwise would be. As always, if you have any questions or comments, please email me at thegbgpodcast@gmail.com or go to my Substack page at http://www.governedbygod.com and message me there!And if you would like to support the show, please consider becoming a patron!

What does it really cost to follow Jesus?In the final installment of our four-part series examining distraction, exhaustion, comfort, and spiritual depth, we tackle one of the most challenging questions modern Christians face: Have we become too comfortable to fully embrace biblical discipleship? In a culture built around convenience, self-preservation, and instant gratification, the call of Jesus often sounds radically different. Following Christ involves sacrifice, surrender, obedience, and a willingness to trust God even when the path is difficult.Throughout this conversation, we explore the relationship between suffering and spiritual growth, the reality of persecution around the world, the dangers of burnout and busyness, and the importance of Christian community. We discuss how comfort, control, and self-focus can quietly become idols that pull us away from God's purposes and why genuine discipleship requires dying to self and living for Christ.Clarity in chaos. Bringing hope to a chaotic world. Join us as we conclude this series with a powerful challenge to examine whether we're pursuing comfort—or faithfully following Jesus wherever He leads.patreon.com/TheTruthResponsehttps://linktr.ee/thetruthresponsehttps://www.instagram.com/thetruthresponse/https://www.facebook.com/thetruthresponsehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-response/id1504362531https://open.spotify.com/show/6Kpkgsy7I7zVuv5UyiRACu?si=BqwQH988RW2DpLbYg5BnSA

This episode is part 37 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.This episode covers chapters 12-13 of the book of 3 Nephi. Jesus had appeared to the surviving Nephites gathered at a temple in the Land Bountiful. The Mormon Jesus gave his opening lecture that included a formula for baptism.Now, the Mormon Jesus begins to teach a version of the Sermon on the Mount that strongly parallels Matthew chapters 5-7. This episode covers the part that follows chapters 5 and 6. We look at subtle differences but also things retained from the Sermon on the Mount that don't seem to make much sense for ancient America. Some things had such a cultural context that I wonder if these Nephites would even know what the Mormon Jesus was talking about.Further research:Book of Mormon in videoJoseph Smith: The Prophet of the RestorationThe Book of Mormon online: 3 Nephi [chapter 12, 13]Have questions for Truthspresso?

Can God be completely sovereign and still hold people responsible for their choices? If no one naturally seeks God, why are people accountable for rejecting Him?In Part 3 of our series, George Binoka and Jeff Musgrave tackle one of theology's most difficult questions without getting lost in philosophical speculation. Instead, they stay anchored in Scripture.Together they explore:Why this is a biblical tension—not a contradiction.What Romans 10 teaches about faith, hearing, and the gospel.The relationship between God's drawing and human responsibility.Whether Christians really have "free will."Why God's sovereignty should never make us passive in evangelism.How abiding in Christ keeps us from both manipulation and apathy.This conversation doesn't pretend to remove every mystery. Instead, it provides a biblical framework that strengthens confidence in God, fuels evangelism, and encourages believers to faithfully participate in God's mission.
