Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, reviews some of the commonly misplaced assumptions about what is in the Bible. He highlights the phrase, “God helps those who help themselves.” Dr. Hall demonstrates how this phrase is a blatant contradiction to everything that Scripture teaches. The focus then turns to the phrase, “God never gives you more than you can handle.” It is pointed out that this phrase appears nowhere in the Bible and seems to be taken from 1 Corinthians 10 – 13, which says that God will not let us be tempted beyond what we can bear. Dr. Hall then turns his attention to what is known as the prosperity gospel movement that includes big-name explicit proponents like TD Jakes, Joel Osteen, and Joyce Meyer. He analyzes the main beliefs in the prosperity gospel movement and demonstrates why it should be considered heresy. The podcast concludes by pointing out that prosperity theology preachers who focus solely on preparing people for their best life now can do little to prepare them for eternity.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, reacts to Southern Baptist churches adopting a resolution at their annual meeting to oppose in vitro fertilization (IVF). He explains how this procedure is used to overcome infertility problems in couples. Opposition to this procedure usually hinges on whether embryos developed in the laboratory should be considered human life. Dr. Hall points out that when a mother becomes pregnant and does nothing, and there is no miscarriage, a baby will be born. But if the embryo exists in a dish or a freezer in the laboratory and you do nothing, there will never be a baby. Dr. Hall uses Scripture to demonstrate how overcoming infertility is something that pleases God. He then points out how modern medicine is used to overcome many diseases, disabilities, and infertility and that these abilities are a gift from God. Dr. Hall explains that it is only when an embryo produced in a laboratory and is given the chance to attach to a woman’s uterus, that the woman becomes pregnant. It is at this point that we see the fruition of what David said to God in Psalm 39:13, “You knitted me together in my mother’s womb.” The podcast concludes by urging the listeners to let those whose birth was the product of in vitro fertilization that they are the creation of God as much as anyone else.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, explains the origin of the odd term, Banana Republic. He explains how the concept of a third-world country has morphed into the term Banana Republic. This idea refers to countries plagued by high crime rates, corrupt governments, severe economic problems, and an overall lack of civilized behavior. He points out how the United States seems to become a little more degenerate with each passing day. He points to the obliteration of the US border by a woke ideology that is allowing millions of impoverished foreigners to enter the United States illegally. Institutions like the NIH and CDC have lost credibility. Crime is soaring and inflation is roaring. Quoting former president Ronald Reagan, “Freedom is a fragile thing. It’s never more than one generation away.” Dr. Hall reviews many things that have caused the American public to feel the justice system in America has been weaponized by the current administration. The podcast concludes as listeners are reminded that God has told us “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” Can also be seen on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/xFuw6mDweR0
