The Bible Speaks to You: Think, Pray, Love like Jesus
Have you ever poured out your heart, almost begging God to solve a problem, but it doesn’t feel like your prayer is ever answered? You wonder if there’s a better way to pray you don’t know about. Then some days, you really connect with God in prayer and it just makes you want to be closer to Him?
Each week The Bible Speaks to You Podcast helps you rediscover the original Christianity of Jesus. Host James Early, Bible teacher and speaker, and an occasional guest dig deep into how to think, pray, and love like Jesus. And how to experience more of Jesus’s promise that “the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

294 – Winning a Theological Debate Doesn't Get You into Heaven
294 – Are you tired of all the theological debates?
Social media is full of people from different churches "explaining" why their theology is right and everyone else's theology is wrong.
The basic problem is they are defining what it means to be a true Christian by doctrinal beliefs instead of actually living the teachings of Jesus in their daily lives.
This mistake has gone on for at least 1,700 years.
It's time to stop the theological debate mindset, trying to prove you are right.
In this week's episode I talk about:
- The attitude behind this urge to debate and condemn everyone who disagrees with you theologically
- It’s not how Jesus wants you to share your faith
- How to interact with someone who's trying to debate with you
- And most importantly, a more effective way to share your faith
Jesus didn't prove he was the Messiah by his words. He told people to look at what he was doing, because what he did was fulfilling the Messianic prophecies.
We need to follow his example.
Quit trying to prove you are a Christian, or disprove someone else is, based on doctrines and theology. Let people see how you are following in Jesus’s footsteps in healing and blessing mankind.
