Biblical Narratives Versus Imperatives - Commands in Scripture Have More Weight Than Imperatives

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

It is important to understand biblical narratives versus imperatives. Imperatives are commands while narratives are stories or accounts in Scripture that should not be given as much weight. Christians should build their theology with imperatives (or commands, such as Romans 13, 1 Peter 2, and Titus 3) supported by narratives (or accounts) versus the other […]

Sorrow of the World Produces Death, but Godly Sorrow Produces Repentance - 2 Corinthians 710

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Second Corinthians 7:10 says, “Godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.” At different times people defend Judas, minimize his actions, and even claim he was a believer. It always relates to him bringing back the money saying he sinned, and showing sorrow over […]

Unity and Holiness in the Church

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Unity and holiness is important to the church for the sanctification of believers and outreach and evangelism to unbelievers. God’s pattern throughout man’s history is to have an inside and outside, including during the Church Age. Holiness creates the boundary so the church doesn’t look like the world. In the Old Testament the Mosaic Law […]

Bear Fruit Worthy of Repentance

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

John the Baptist commanded the multitudes to bear fruit worthy of repentance (Matthew 3:8 and Luke 3:8). This verse helps reveal the most common reason people fail regarding repentance. They put off without putting on. They stop the sin without starting the accompanying behavior God wants. Manasseh, the evilest king of Judah, surprisingly is a […]

Signing with Harvest House Publishers

In October 2019 I took my first step toward traditional publishing when I signed with The Blythe Daniel Agency. Now I’ve taken another step by signing with Harvest House Publishers.

Signing with the Blythe Daniel Agency

I signed with Blythe Daniel as my literary agent. Let me back up to the beginning of this journey.

The Morality of Listening and Speaking

May 31, 2019 by Scott LaPierre 4 Comments

the-morality-of-listening-and-speaking-scott-lapierre

If we don’t understand morality we might fail to see the goodness of certain behaviors and the sinfulness of others. How tragic would it be to spend years doing something you thought was amoral (or spiritually neutral), only to find out it’s immoral. Or how tragic to avoid something you thought was immoral, only to […]
