Two Ways News

Dear friends,
Some topics are such a universal way of thinking that it is surprising to see how rarely they are mentioned in the Bible. Conscience is such a topic that is critical to our behaviour and mustn’t be undermined, yet the Bible’s teaching on conscience is more connected to its education than its slavish following. This is a tricky subject to explore. If you have questions or comments that you want to follow up on this topic, we are always glad to read them, but we don’t promise to respond. Simply write to respond@twm.email.
Yours,
Phillip

Dear friends,
As Peter and I turn to different topics of Christian concern, it is sad to see how often old problems keep on being recycled through our churches. One such issue is that of assurance. Assurance of salvation is such a fundamental blessing of the Christian life and such a litmus test of authenticity. It is both sad and surprising to see it being questioned once more.
I hope this exploration of assurance will assist you not only in believing but also in caring for others who struggle with the gospel.
Yours,
Phillip

Dear friends,
In this second episode of our series of topics, Peter and I are discussing institutional captivity. Christians, especially evangelical Christians, have been very enterprising and energetic in setting up Christian organisations and institutions. But sadly, we have not been as good in maintaining their focus or original intention. So many of our organisations have lost their way even to the extent of excluding evangelicalism. In our conversation we try to explore why and how this takes place. It’s a large topic which we open up on this episode, which hopefully will lead to many discussions amongst our listeners.
Yours,
Phillip

Dear friends,
In this episode of Two Ways News, we welcome back Tony Payne, because each of us has published a new book this year. Tony’s book entitled Let The Word Dwell Richly helps us understand the great importance of ministering the Word of God to one another. My new book Written on our Hearts seeks to recover the Ten Commandments for those of us who are saved and live by grace. This episode is not simply an advertisement for these two books, but a discussion between us about the central concepts of our publications. I hope you enjoy the discussion—and that you buy and read the books.
Yours,
Phillip

Dear friends,
Peter took over our podcast today and uncharacteristically cross-examined me on my belief. The topic is very important: that is, the relationship between law and grace. But I was expecting the doctrine lecturer to take the lead now that we have left 1 Corinthians. I hope you enjoy the grilling I received. If you did, don’t forget to remind others to listen to our podcasts which are provided free of charge by the generosity of others.
Yours,
Phillip
