00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:04.500
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:08.550
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:11.820
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:13.650
and your mind,
5
00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:17.340
where the word is the
anchor in uncertain times
6
00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:20.640
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.080
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:26.640
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.510 --> 00:00:29.130
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.540 --> 00:00:32.700
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:36.570
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.370 --> 00:00:40.350
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.350 --> 00:00:43.410
It is the end of the week
and I'm here with Joel.
14
00:00:43.410 --> 00:00:45.145
Joel, can you believe
it's the end of the week?
15
00:00:45.145 --> 00:00:47.100
I know, and we've talked
a lot about a lot.
16
00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:48.780
I mean, these programs
have gone like that.
17
00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:51.780
And I wanna say thank you for
being with me the whole week
18
00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:54.240
as we've been talking about Questions
19
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.140
and Answers with Rick Renner, 2025.
20
00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:00.390
Joel and I always do this once a year,
21
00:01:00.390 --> 00:01:03.270
this time of the year, we answer the questions
22
00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:04.950
that you have sent to me.
23
00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:07.830
Now the truth is you send
me thousands of questions,
24
00:01:07.830 --> 00:01:10.380
so I can't answer all
of them in five days,
25
00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:11.670
but we've had a good time this week.
26
00:01:11.670 --> 00:01:12.930
Absolutely, it's been
great. But I want you
27
00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:14.580
to order this series
28
00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:17.130
and order this study
guide that goes with it.
29
00:01:17.130 --> 00:01:19.920
And remember that right now at the Renner website,
30
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.470
that's renner.org, everything
31
00:01:22.470 --> 00:01:26.550
that is a Renner product is
being offered for 25% off.
32
00:01:26.550 --> 00:01:28.080
Now, today, Joel
33
00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:30.000
and I are gonna wrap up
this week of programs
34
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.370
by answering theological questions.
35
00:01:32.370 --> 00:01:34.950
So I wanna mention two books
that I think you ought to get.
36
00:01:34.950 --> 00:01:37.770
One is called, Apostles and Prophets.
37
00:01:37.770 --> 00:01:39.840
Look at the size of that book, Joel.
38
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.550
You can almost lift weights with it,
39
00:01:41.550 --> 00:01:43.410
but this book is really good.
40
00:01:43.410 --> 00:01:46.980
It's their role in the past, the present, and the last days.
41
00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:48.570
It's a book you ought to get.
42
00:01:48.570 --> 00:01:51.240
And there's another book that I just love
43
00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:53.880
and it's called How to Keep Your Head on Straight In a World
44
00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:58.470
Gone Crazy: Developing Discernment for These Last Days.
45
00:01:58.470 --> 00:02:00.990
These are also 25% off,
46
00:02:00.990 --> 00:02:03.180
but these books are really important,
47
00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:05.640
so I just wanna encourage you to get them.
48
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.560
And when you reach out to us,
49
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.810
remember we wanna pray for you.
50
00:02:09.810 --> 00:02:11.760
Just write down that number on the screen
51
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.880
and save it so that if you're ever in a place
52
00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:16.560
where you need prayer
53
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:17.850
and you can't remember the number,
54
00:02:17.850 --> 00:02:22.020
you have the number saved. You can always call that number.
55
00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:25.560
That's us. And we're waiting to hear from you
56
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:27.330
and we would love to pray with you.
57
00:02:27.330 --> 00:02:31.260
Or if you wish, you can send us an email
58
00:02:31.260 --> 00:02:32.370
and whether you call
59
00:02:32.370 --> 00:02:34.050
or whether you write,
60
00:02:34.050 --> 00:02:37.170
you can be sure we're gonna really pray,
61
00:02:37.170 --> 00:02:41.280
and Jesus is gonna really
do what needs to be done
62
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.690
for you.
63
00:02:42.690 --> 00:02:45.390
Amen. But we're waiting to hear from you.
64
00:02:45.390 --> 00:02:48.750
But Joel, today we're gonna
do theological questions.
65
00:02:48.750 --> 00:02:50.190
And Dr. Renner,
66
00:02:50.190 --> 00:02:52.200
Oh,
I think you can answer them.
67
00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:55.110
You know what, somebody asked,
where did I get my doctorate?
68
00:02:55.110 --> 00:02:57.660
Oh, my doctorate is real.
It is an earned doctorate.
69
00:02:57.660 --> 00:02:58.710
It's not honorary,
70
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:01.240
and I earned it at one
71
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.120
of the leading universities in Russia.
72
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:05.770
Alright, Joel, next question.
73
00:03:05.770 --> 00:03:09.070
Why are there so many
interpretations of the Bible?
74
00:03:09.070 --> 00:03:10.720
Well, that's a great question.
75
00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:15.720
The Bible was written in
Hebrew and in Greek primarily.
76
00:03:15.820 --> 00:03:17.830
Now let's talk about the New Testament.
77
00:03:17.830 --> 00:03:19.990
The New Testament was written in Greek.
78
00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:25.570
Unless you can read Greek, then you need a translation
79
00:03:25.570 --> 00:03:27.520
or an interpretation.
80
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.420
And there are many, many interpretations and translations,
81
00:03:31.420 --> 00:03:34.420
and many of them are marvelous.
82
00:03:34.420 --> 00:03:37.480
But the meanings of words over time.
83
00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:41.500
For example: when you come to the book of James 2,
84
00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:43.840
it says, if there come into your assembly,
85
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.120
a man in gay clothing.
86
00:03:47.110 --> 00:03:50.920
Well, when the King James
version was translated,
87
00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:54.100
that word meant in very bright clothing.
88
00:03:54.100 --> 00:03:57.220
Today the word gay has a different meaning.
89
00:03:57.220 --> 00:04:01.480
So it needs to have a new interpretation, a new translation,
90
00:04:01.480 --> 00:04:04.090
because that word doesn't quite mean the same thing today
91
00:04:04.090 --> 00:04:06.760
as it did 300 years ago.
92
00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:09.400
Many, many words change over time,
93
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.950
but the original text never changes.
94
00:04:11.950 --> 00:04:14.140
It never changes.
95
00:04:14.140 --> 00:04:17.980
Now, the very first major translation
96
00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:19.960
of the Old Testament was called the Septuagint.
97
00:04:20.950 --> 00:04:24.010
And the Septuagint was the Greek translation
98
00:04:24.010 --> 00:04:25.870
of the Hebrew scriptures
99
00:04:25.870 --> 00:04:30.220
and the reason why the Septuagint was required -
100
00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:34.540
okay now this may be a shock to you - that by 200 BC,
101
00:04:35.590 --> 00:04:38.170
200 years before Christ,
102
00:04:38.170 --> 00:04:42.070
because of the conquest of
Alexander the Great, most
103
00:04:42.070 --> 00:04:44.890
of the Eastern world
spoke the Greek language,
104
00:04:44.890 --> 00:04:47.590
including Israel.
105
00:04:47.590 --> 00:04:50.830
When you went to Israel,
the primary languages
106
00:04:50.830 --> 00:04:54.400
that were spoken were Greek and Aramaic,
107
00:04:54.400 --> 00:04:57.070
and more Greek than Aramaic.
108
00:04:57.070 --> 00:05:00.790
Hebrew was reserved for
theological circles.
109
00:05:00.790 --> 00:05:04.690
The common man did not read Hebrew.
110
00:05:04.690 --> 00:05:06.640
In fact, when Jesus
went into the synagogue
111
00:05:06.640 --> 00:05:07.840
and the scroll was given to him,
112
00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:09.490
and he opened to the prophet Isaiah,
113
00:05:09.490 --> 00:05:11.950
Jesus read from the Septuagint.
114
00:05:11.950 --> 00:05:15.400
That is what was used
throughout the land of Israel,
115
00:05:15.400 --> 00:05:20.400
which was the Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures.
116
00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:24.700
So the idea of a translation: it's not a new idea.
117
00:05:24.700 --> 00:05:27.550
Then Jerome was the first
118
00:05:27.550 --> 00:05:31.330
to translate the Bible
into the Latin language.
119
00:05:31.330 --> 00:05:32.163
And Jerome: you know where he lived Joel?
120
00:05:32.163 --> 00:05:35.838
Jerusalem? - No, no.
121
00:05:35.838 --> 00:05:37.420
He lived in Bethlehem.
122
00:05:37.420 --> 00:05:41.710
He lived in a little grotto,
which was a part of the Church
123
00:05:41.710 --> 00:05:43.780
of the Holy Nativity.
124
00:05:43.780 --> 00:05:47.230
And he lived there for
23 years and labored
125
00:05:47.230 --> 00:05:50.920
and produced the 1st translation in the Latin language.
126
00:05:51.760 --> 00:05:55.270
And what he did was so amazing
127
00:05:55.270 --> 00:05:58.100
that his Latin Vulgate translation ruled
128
00:05:58.100 --> 00:05:59.450
for a thousand years.
129
00:05:59.450 --> 00:06:02.270
It was the most important translation.
130
00:06:02.270 --> 00:06:04.850
Then after that, other
translators came along.
131
00:06:04.850 --> 00:06:07.700
For example, Martin Luther had a translation, John
132
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.810
Wycliff, Tyndale: the list goes on and on and on.
133
00:06:11.810 --> 00:06:14.480
And what's really interesting
is they all worked on
134
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:15.620
each other's translations.
135
00:06:15.620 --> 00:06:17.690
They all borrowed from and built on
136
00:06:17.690 --> 00:06:19.640
what their predecessors had done.
137
00:06:19.640 --> 00:06:21.500
And even if you read the introduction
138
00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:24.050
to the King James version,
you know there are some people
139
00:06:24.050 --> 00:06:25.730
that are King James, only.
140
00:06:25.730 --> 00:06:27.890
They say, all you can do
is read the King James.
141
00:06:27.890 --> 00:06:30.800
But if you read the introduction to the King James Bible,
142
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.120
the translators express
how grateful they were
143
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.360
to previous translators
and previous translations.
144
00:06:39.260 --> 00:06:42.140
So everybody builds on
top of each other's work.
145
00:06:42.140 --> 00:06:43.880
And the goal is just to produce something
146
00:06:43.880 --> 00:06:45.260
better and better and better.
147
00:06:45.260 --> 00:06:49.400
Now, recently I was added
to the list of interpreters
148
00:06:49.400 --> 00:06:52.430
and translators because
I begin to do the RIV,
149
00:06:52.430 --> 00:06:54.050
which is the Renner Interpretive Version,
150
00:06:55.520 --> 00:06:58.250
which is not a word for word translation,
151
00:06:58.250 --> 00:07:00.620
but it is a conceptual interpretation.
152
00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:04.850
It reaches into the Greek
text to grab all the flavors
153
00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:05.900
and all the nuances
154
00:07:05.900 --> 00:07:09.590
and to bring it into a
fuller interpretation.
155
00:07:09.590 --> 00:07:13.280
It takes great, great
work to do a translation
156
00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:15.110
or an interpretation.
157
00:07:15.110 --> 00:07:17.330
And you need to be grateful
for those who do it.
158
00:07:17.330 --> 00:07:19.970
It is really a labor of love.
159
00:07:19.970 --> 00:07:22.520
It takes hours and hours,
hundreds and hundreds
160
00:07:22.520 --> 00:07:24.500
and thousands of hours,
161
00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:27.290
and we need to appreciate all of them.
162
00:07:27.290 --> 00:07:29.090
Now, there is one that I really like.
163
00:07:29.090 --> 00:07:33.470
I really like the New Living Translation.
164
00:07:33.470 --> 00:07:36.590
I think it's marvelous.
I think it's marvelous.
165
00:07:36.590 --> 00:07:38.120
And I like the RIV,
166
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.330
but my all time favorite is
still the King James version.
167
00:07:41.330 --> 00:07:43.610
Not because it's the most accurate, but
168
00:07:43.610 --> 00:07:46.250
because it's the one I cut my
teeth on when I was growing up
169
00:07:46.250 --> 00:07:48.320
and it's very easy to memorize.
170
00:07:49.310 --> 00:07:52.130
Alright, is there one
translation of the Bible
171
00:07:52.130 --> 00:07:53.630
that is superior to the rest?
172
00:07:53.630 --> 00:07:58.100
I don't think so. I use
many, many translations
173
00:07:58.100 --> 00:08:01.366
and I think that there's a wonderful website called
174
00:08:01.366 --> 00:08:04.940
biblehub.com.
175
00:08:04.940 --> 00:08:06.290
You should go there and use it.
176
00:08:06.290 --> 00:08:08.300
It's a great resource for you to use.
177
00:08:08.300 --> 00:08:12.680
Okay. I've never quite understood the command for women
178
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.020
to stay silent in church
179
00:08:15.020 --> 00:08:18.590
or even ask a question, why does it only apply
180
00:08:18.590 --> 00:08:19.850
to women and not men?
181
00:08:19.850 --> 00:08:22.100
Well, let's go to where Paul said that,
182
00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:25.310
and it's in 1 Corinthians 14
183
00:08:25.310 --> 00:08:29.300
and he says in verse 33 - For God is not the author
184
00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:31.160
of confusion
185
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.420
but of peace as in all
churches of the saints.
186
00:08:35.420 --> 00:08:39.860
Then he adds, let your women
keep silence in the churches
187
00:08:39.860 --> 00:08:42.320
for it's not permitted unto them to speak,
188
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.720
but they're commanded to be under obedience
189
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:46.400
as also say at the law.
190
00:08:46.400 --> 00:08:48.890
And if they will learn anything,
191
00:08:48.890 --> 00:08:52.340
let them ask their husbands
at home for it is a shame
192
00:08:52.340 --> 00:08:54.020
for women to speak in the church.
193
00:08:54.020 --> 00:08:56.910
And some people say, okay,
this is a restriction.
194
00:08:56.910 --> 00:08:58.500
Women can't speak in the church.
195
00:08:58.500 --> 00:09:00.570
Women can't do anything
public in the church.
196
00:09:00.570 --> 00:09:02.760
Women can't preach.
197
00:09:02.760 --> 00:09:05.610
Women are just to be silent.
198
00:09:06.690 --> 00:09:10.380
Well, that is a very immature
response to that verse.
199
00:09:10.380 --> 00:09:12.540
You gotta look at the whole of scripture.
200
00:09:12.540 --> 00:09:15.240
Paul worked with women that were preachers.
201
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:19.500
He did, for example, he worked with Priscilla.
202
00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:21.750
Priscilla was a fine preacher.
203
00:09:22.650 --> 00:09:24.810
In fact, when you come to Acts 18, you find
204
00:09:24.810 --> 00:09:29.160
that Priscilla was very instrumental in teaching the word
205
00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:31.470
of God in a more accurate way to Apollos.
206
00:09:33.150 --> 00:09:37.020
She was one of Paul's associates and she was a preacher.
207
00:09:37.020 --> 00:09:40.980
And in fact, if you read Romans 16, it seems
208
00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:43.410
she may be a have been among the apostles.
209
00:09:43.410 --> 00:09:46.110
There were many apostles in
the time of the New Testament,
210
00:09:46.110 --> 00:09:48.960
and it seems that Priscilla
had an apostolic in
211
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:50.400
teaching call in her life.
212
00:09:50.400 --> 00:09:52.260
So then why did Paul say the women are
213
00:09:52.260 --> 00:09:53.460
to be silent in the church?
214
00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:57.000
Okay, Joel, it's a great question. Here's the answer.
215
00:09:58.350 --> 00:10:00.870
In that particular time in history, men
216
00:10:00.870 --> 00:10:03.960
and women were kept separate publicly.
217
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:05.700
For example, I'll just give you another example.
218
00:10:05.700 --> 00:10:07.530
Women were not allowed to shop.
219
00:10:08.790 --> 00:10:12.090
They were not allowed to shop.
Men did all the shopping.
220
00:10:13.020 --> 00:10:14.610
If you went to the public market,
221
00:10:14.610 --> 00:10:16.500
there were no women in the market.
222
00:10:16.500 --> 00:10:18.180
And if there was a woman in the market,
223
00:10:18.180 --> 00:10:20.340
she usually was standing in the corner
224
00:10:20.340 --> 00:10:22.470
because she was a prostitute.
225
00:10:22.470 --> 00:10:24.840
Women were not allowed to shop.
226
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.950
Women stayed home and
primarily were silent.
227
00:10:28.950 --> 00:10:31.860
That was in all of culture at that time.
228
00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:35.880
Men did everything publicly, and men
229
00:10:35.880 --> 00:10:39.510
and women did not sit together in public meetings.
230
00:10:39.510 --> 00:10:43.830
It was just men. It was just
men. Women were never there.
231
00:10:45.180 --> 00:10:49.290
And the very fact that Paul
says in church, women are
232
00:10:49.290 --> 00:10:52.770
to stay silent is revolutionary.
233
00:10:52.770 --> 00:10:55.680
It means women were in church with men.
234
00:10:55.680 --> 00:10:57.960
That only happened in Christ.
235
00:10:57.960 --> 00:10:59.850
This is one of the greatest
liberating statements
236
00:10:59.850 --> 00:11:01.080
for women that was ever written.
237
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.720
It means women were in
the meeting with the men.
238
00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:07.050
Well, that had never happened before.
239
00:11:07.050 --> 00:11:09.120
That only happened in Christ.
240
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.550
And in Christ there are
neither male nor female.
241
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.000
And the reason Paul said,
let the women be silent,
242
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.800
asked their husbands when they get home is
243
00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:20.820
because the women had no experience
244
00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:23.310
of being in public meetings with men.
245
00:11:24.390 --> 00:11:26.190
And the women during
the meetings were saying
246
00:11:26.190 --> 00:11:27.805
to their husbands,
what's he talking about?
247
00:11:27.805 --> 00:11:29.820
What? What did that
mean? What he just said?
248
00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:32.130
They were raising their voices. They were asking questions.
249
00:11:32.130 --> 00:11:35.130
They were inquisitive. The women were wanting to learn.
250
00:11:36.270 --> 00:11:40.410
Paul was not against
women being in church.
251
00:11:40.410 --> 00:11:43.710
He wasn't even against
women asking questions.
252
00:11:43.710 --> 00:11:45.540
He just had to teach them -
253
00:11:45.540 --> 00:11:47.130
you don't do it during the meeting.
254
00:11:47.130 --> 00:11:50.430
Wait till you get home,
then ask for clarifications.
255
00:11:50.430 --> 00:11:52.200
Don't be interruptive
256
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:57.200
during the of course of a service. Women were learning
257
00:11:57.430 --> 00:11:59.740
how to sit in the same service with men
258
00:11:59.740 --> 00:12:02.050
because that had only occurred in Christ.
259
00:12:02.050 --> 00:12:05.050
This was a brand new development.
260
00:12:05.050 --> 00:12:08.920
Now, if you go to 1 Timothy 2, he also says
261
00:12:08.920 --> 00:12:12.940
that he doesn't allow a woman to
262
00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:16.990
take authority in services
that are not given to her.
263
00:12:16.990 --> 00:12:18.910
But you know what? The same rule applies to men.
264
00:12:20.950 --> 00:12:23.680
Men are not to just take authority
265
00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:26.290
and to do things that are inappropriate.
266
00:12:26.290 --> 00:12:28.090
It doesn't matter whether
you're male or female.
267
00:12:28.090 --> 00:12:31.030
The rules are all the
same in that respect.
268
00:12:31.030 --> 00:12:32.650
Okay, next question.
269
00:12:32.650 --> 00:12:36.340
Is it okay for women to preach in church? - 100%.
270
00:12:36.340 --> 00:12:38.950
If they're called, if they're recognized
271
00:12:38.950 --> 00:12:41.830
by church authority, women can do it all.
272
00:12:41.830 --> 00:12:44.260
Now, Denise and I grew up in a denomination
273
00:12:45.250 --> 00:12:47.620
where women were not allowed to preach,
274
00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:49.270
but women could do everything else.
275
00:12:49.270 --> 00:12:51.340
Women could teach Sunday school,
276
00:12:51.340 --> 00:12:53.710
women could be missionaries.
277
00:12:53.710 --> 00:12:58.000
In fact, we had two big
mission offerings every year.
278
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.300
One in the honor of Lottie Moon
279
00:13:01.300 --> 00:13:04.780
and the other in the honor of Annie Armstrong.
280
00:13:04.780 --> 00:13:08.860
Two women. We rallied all of our mission offerings
281
00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:12.280
around Lottie Moon offering, Annie Armstrong offering.
282
00:13:12.280 --> 00:13:13.360
But I'll tell you what women were
283
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:14.470
not to preach in the church.
284
00:13:14.470 --> 00:13:16.090
It was such a contradiction.
285
00:13:16.090 --> 00:13:18.490
They can go to the mission field, they can give their life,
286
00:13:18.490 --> 00:13:21.820
they can preach overseas, but they can't preach in church.
287
00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:23.650
There was something wrong with that thinking.
288
00:13:24.670 --> 00:13:27.580
And if you look at the
New Testament, you find
289
00:13:27.580 --> 00:13:31.720
that God pours his spirit
out upon men and upon women.
290
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:32.770
If you study the list
291
00:13:32.770 --> 00:13:35.800
of Paul's friends in Romans 16, you find
292
00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:38.740
that there were women who
were noted among apostles.
293
00:13:38.740 --> 00:13:41.350
There were women who
had pastoral authority.
294
00:13:41.350 --> 00:13:42.760
You see the example of Aquila
295
00:13:42.760 --> 00:13:46.450
and Priscilla; Priscilla was mightily anointed.
296
00:13:46.450 --> 00:13:49.000
In fact, Priscilla was so anointed
297
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.100
and so recognized as a teacher
298
00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:53.170
that there are many who speculated,
299
00:13:53.170 --> 00:13:54.970
I'm not saying this is the case,
300
00:13:54.970 --> 00:13:56.890
nor am I saying that I'm believing it,
301
00:13:56.890 --> 00:13:59.080
but there are many who
wondered if Priscilla
302
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:00.250
wrote the book of Hebrews?
303
00:14:01.300 --> 00:14:02.500
Just that they would wonder
304
00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:05.350
that means that this was a woman
305
00:14:05.350 --> 00:14:07.180
who preached and who taught.
306
00:14:07.180 --> 00:14:10.690
Okay, Joel. - This person is asking - I've moved
307
00:14:10.690 --> 00:14:13.810
to a new city for work and I'm looking for a church.
308
00:14:14.800 --> 00:14:16.930
I have tried a few,
309
00:14:16.930 --> 00:14:20.080
but none of them feel like
the right place for me.
310
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:21.970
I know it's important to attend church.
311
00:14:21.970 --> 00:14:23.950
So should I just pick one based on its
312
00:14:23.950 --> 00:14:26.140
alignments with my beliefs?
313
00:14:26.140 --> 00:14:28.450
Well, first of all, you should have looked for a church
314
00:14:28.450 --> 00:14:30.580
before you accepted a job in a new city.
315
00:14:31.420 --> 00:14:33.820
That should have been priority No.1.
316
00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:37.270
If I go to that city, is there
a church that I can attend?
317
00:14:37.270 --> 00:14:39.400
Because we are commanded in scripture not
318
00:14:39.400 --> 00:14:42.100
to forsake the assembly of ourselves together.
319
00:14:42.100 --> 00:14:44.710
Church should be number one in your mind.
320
00:14:44.710 --> 00:14:46.270
But if you've already made the move
321
00:14:47.350 --> 00:14:50.560
and you're visiting churches,
you know, I understand
322
00:14:50.560 --> 00:14:53.510
that the, because sometimes
323
00:14:55.280 --> 00:14:58.250
when I'm in the United States, if I have time off,
324
00:14:59.510 --> 00:15:00.650
I visit churches.
325
00:15:02.090 --> 00:15:04.580
And I often think, where in the world would I go to church?
326
00:15:05.630 --> 00:15:08.780
If I was in this city,
where would I go to church?
327
00:15:09.860 --> 00:15:12.350
Because very often I feel like none
328
00:15:12.350 --> 00:15:14.660
of them really speak to me.
329
00:15:14.660 --> 00:15:18.530
So in this particular
case, I would find a church
330
00:15:18.530 --> 00:15:22.280
that I align with
spiritually, that I align
331
00:15:22.280 --> 00:15:25.310
with doctrinally, and
332
00:15:25.310 --> 00:15:27.320
that I believe the pastor has integrity.
333
00:15:28.160 --> 00:15:30.830
And I would go there and
I would give my best.
334
00:15:30.830 --> 00:15:32.990
That's what I would do. You're never gonna
335
00:15:32.990 --> 00:15:34.580
find a perfect church.
336
00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:36.530
So if you're looking for a perfect church,
337
00:15:36.530 --> 00:15:40.340
you're gonna be disappointed
for a long, long time.
338
00:15:41.270 --> 00:15:43.550
So find the best that you can listen
339
00:15:43.550 --> 00:15:45.200
to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
340
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.960
And when you make your decision, you give your all,
341
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:49.250
you be supported.
342
00:15:49.250 --> 00:15:51.440
You give your finances,
you give your tithe.
343
00:15:52.280 --> 00:15:54.680
You're never gonna find a perfect church.
344
00:15:54.680 --> 00:15:57.830
So align yourself with the
one that you best can't agree
345
00:15:57.830 --> 00:16:01.100
with and where you can serve
with a happy face. Okay,
346
00:16:02.090 --> 00:16:03.440
What is the best way
347
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.980
to respectfully express
differing theological
348
00:16:06.980 --> 00:16:09.080
perspectives to a family member?
349
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:10.460
Well, sometimes you don't need to.
350
00:16:11.690 --> 00:16:13.190
I have different family members
351
00:16:13.190 --> 00:16:16.370
that we have very different
theological ideas.
352
00:16:16.370 --> 00:16:19.700
You know what? It's okay. If I know
353
00:16:19.700 --> 00:16:22.040
that it's gonna be a strife filled issue,
354
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:25.700
unless I'm gonna make a difference,
355
00:16:27.260 --> 00:16:28.850
I'm not gonna bring it up.
356
00:16:28.850 --> 00:16:30.110
I'm probably gonna ignore it.
357
00:16:31.190 --> 00:16:33.740
Unless I know that I'm gonna say something
358
00:16:33.740 --> 00:16:35.300
that's gonna really help somebody,
359
00:16:37.040 --> 00:16:39.020
then I'm probably gonna be quiet.
360
00:16:39.020 --> 00:16:41.210
Just remember the book of Proverbs says, where there's a lot
361
00:16:41.210 --> 00:16:44.570
of words, there's usually sin.
362
00:16:45.530 --> 00:16:49.310
Where there are less words, there's less sin,
363
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:53.360
and sometimes it's better
to be quiet than to speak.
364
00:16:54.920 --> 00:16:58.280
So why do you need to give
your theological opinion to
365
00:16:58.280 --> 00:17:00.830
that family member who disagrees with you?
366
00:17:00.830 --> 00:17:05.780
Unless you really feel you're
gonna help them - let it go.
367
00:17:06.980 --> 00:17:11.810
It's okay. You can have
different opinions. It's okay,
368
00:17:11.810 --> 00:17:12.980
Joel.
369
00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:15.620
When we surrender something to the Lord,
370
00:17:15.620 --> 00:17:17.990
is it truly surrender if we keep bringing
371
00:17:17.990 --> 00:17:18.990
it up to him?
372
00:17:18.990 --> 00:17:20.180
God, that question's kind of funny
373
00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:24.140
because the day I got saved when I was 5-years old,
374
00:17:25.190 --> 00:17:28.940
the song in the altar call was - I Surrender All.
375
00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:31.070
I was 5-years old.
376
00:17:32.360 --> 00:17:35.360
I remember walking down to the
front thinking all to Jesus
377
00:17:35.360 --> 00:17:38.480
I surrender, all to thee I freely give.
378
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:41.000
I will ever love and trust him.
379
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.370
And I went down to the
front called Jesus the Lord
380
00:17:43.370 --> 00:17:46.400
of my life and surrendered myself to him.
381
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:50.100
But you know what, Joel? I've
been surrendering ever since.
382
00:17:51.210 --> 00:17:54.030
Every day when I wake up, I re-surrender.
383
00:17:55.020 --> 00:17:57.750
I don't think there's anything
wrong with surrendering.
384
00:17:57.750 --> 00:18:00.330
We are supposed to live
our life at the altar.
385
00:18:01.170 --> 00:18:05.580
We're to be a living sacrifice
that conveys the idea
386
00:18:05.580 --> 00:18:07.410
of continual surrender.
387
00:18:08.430 --> 00:18:10.110
It's fine if you surrender and surrender
388
00:18:10.110 --> 00:18:11.220
and surrender and surrender.
389
00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:12.220
I do it every day.
390
00:18:13.830 --> 00:18:17.850
What are the elementary
ABCs of the Christian faith
391
00:18:17.850 --> 00:18:19.110
and why are they so
392
00:18:19.110 --> 00:18:20.110
important?
393
00:18:20.110 --> 00:18:21.810
Well, that's a great question.
394
00:18:21.810 --> 00:18:24.360
If you don't have a right foundation,
395
00:18:24.360 --> 00:18:27.120
you're probably gonna
build a crooked building.
396
00:18:27.120 --> 00:18:30.810
You know, there's a city
in the former Soviet Union
397
00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:33.930
where the architects wanted
398
00:18:33.930 --> 00:18:37.080
to prove they could build
a skyscraper faster than
399
00:18:37.080 --> 00:18:38.160
anybody else.
400
00:18:39.330 --> 00:18:42.000
So they built that skyscraper.
401
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:46.050
And today it leans because it
had an improper foundation.
402
00:18:47.190 --> 00:18:51.090
And there today it rests on
the banks of a big river,
403
00:18:51.090 --> 00:18:54.300
this massive, massive
building that they use
404
00:18:54.300 --> 00:18:59.070
for advertisements because no
one can occupy that building
405
00:18:59.070 --> 00:19:01.650
because the foundation is so flawed.
406
00:19:02.520 --> 00:19:04.560
If you wanna build a super structure,
407
00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:06.600
you gotta have a good foundation.
408
00:19:06.600 --> 00:19:10.650
And when you come to Hebrews 6,
409
00:19:10.650 --> 00:19:13.500
it gives us the elementary foundations of our faith.
410
00:19:13.500 --> 00:19:18.240
And they are listed in Hebrews 6:1:
411
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:21.420
The foundation of repentance from dead works:
412
00:19:21.420 --> 00:19:26.280
faith toward God: the doctrine of baptisms: the doctrine
413
00:19:26.280 --> 00:19:29.430
of the laying on of hands: the doctrine of the resurrection
414
00:19:29.430 --> 00:19:32.850
of the dead: the doctrine of eternal judgment.
415
00:19:32.850 --> 00:19:36.960
These are really foundation stones in our faith.
416
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:39.030
And if you have any one of these wrong,
417
00:19:40.170 --> 00:19:42.840
probably your building, your
building's gonna go tilt
418
00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:43.860
just a little bit.
419
00:19:44.820 --> 00:19:46.800
These are really foundational.
420
00:19:46.800 --> 00:19:50.760
And I've got a book,
which is called Build Your
421
00:19:50.760 --> 00:19:54.420
Foundation that deals with
all of these, what they are
422
00:19:54.420 --> 00:19:56.100
and why you need to know them
423
00:19:56.100 --> 00:19:59.370
and to make sure you've got
them right in your life.
424
00:19:59.370 --> 00:20:01.620
I would encourage you to
go online and order that.
425
00:20:02.550 --> 00:20:06.300
But hey Joel, today, you have
really asked great questions.
426
00:20:06.300 --> 00:20:08.190
Oh, these are your questions
427
00:20:08.190 --> 00:20:10.050
And we're we're very
glad you send them to us.
428
00:20:10.050 --> 00:20:11.640
Well, I want to say
thank you to you for being
429
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:13.800
with me every day this week.
430
00:20:13.800 --> 00:20:16.050
It's hard to believe it's already Friday,
431
00:20:16.050 --> 00:20:17.220
we're wrapping it up.
432
00:20:18.090 --> 00:20:20.430
But friends, I want you to
remember that right now,
433
00:20:20.430 --> 00:20:24.180
everything that is a Renner product is 25%
434
00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:26.040

435
00:20:26.040 --> 00:20:29.580
And we wanna pray for you.
We really wanna pray for you.
436
00:20:29.580 --> 00:20:32.580
So call the number on the
screen or send us an email.
437
00:20:32.580 --> 00:20:35.250
And when we hear from you,
we're gonna release our faith.
438
00:20:36.540 --> 00:20:39.870
And the great thing is
Jesus is gonna do what needs
439
00:20:39.870 --> 00:20:41.070
to be done - but Joel
440
00:20:41.070 --> 00:20:43.260
and I are gonna be back in just a moment
441
00:20:43.260 --> 00:20:44.310
and we're gonna pray for you.
442
00:20:52.900 --> 00:20:54.310
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner.
443
00:20:54.310 --> 00:20:59.170
And somebody has asked, What do I do if I feel stuck in life
444
00:20:59.170 --> 00:21:02.410
or if I feel like I'm falling behind?
445
00:21:02.410 --> 00:21:05.620
Well, sometimes we all
deal with those emotions.
446
00:21:05.620 --> 00:21:08.920
And when I feel like I'm
stuck in life, I go back
447
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:12.940
to the original vision to see
if I'm really on track with
448
00:21:12.940 --> 00:21:15.640
what God has asked me to do.
449
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.370
When you come to Philippians 3,
450
00:21:18.370 --> 00:21:22.240
the apostle Paul says, I do not count myself to have obtain,
451
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:23.950
but here's what I'm gonna do.
452
00:21:23.950 --> 00:21:25.360
I'm gonna forget what's behind.
453
00:21:25.360 --> 00:21:28.570
I'm gonna reach forth to
what is in front of me.
454
00:21:28.570 --> 00:21:31.270
But you can't reach to
what is in front of you
455
00:21:31.270 --> 00:21:32.770
unless you know where you're headed
456
00:21:32.770 --> 00:21:34.300
and you know what is your goal.
457
00:21:34.300 --> 00:21:35.800
So when I'm stuck
458
00:21:35.800 --> 00:21:39.070
or if I feel like I'm
falling behind, I go back
459
00:21:39.070 --> 00:21:42.580
to the original vision
to see am I on track with
460
00:21:42.580 --> 00:21:45.190
what the Lord has asked me to do?
461
00:21:45.190 --> 00:21:48.460
And if you will do that, the
Holy Spirit will help you
462
00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:50.560
to make any adjustments you need to make
463
00:21:50.560 --> 00:21:52.840
so you don't feel like you're stuck
464
00:21:52.840 --> 00:21:55.000
or like you're falling behind.
465
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.710

500

Hey, this is Rick Renner
501
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:35.410
and I'm standing inside the partner care
502
00:23:35.410 --> 00:23:36.910
department of our ministry.
503
00:23:36.910 --> 00:23:39.040
And this is where the action takes place.
504
00:23:39.040 --> 00:23:40.990
Thousands of phone calls every day
505
00:23:40.990 --> 00:23:44.080
and every month come into
this place from people
506
00:23:44.080 --> 00:23:45.260
reaching out to us.
507
00:23:45.260 --> 00:23:48.020
And this is my precious
mother who is in heaven,
508
00:23:48.020 --> 00:23:50.420
and she established this
part of the ministry.
509
00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:52.910
But these are the
principles we are dedicated
510
00:23:52.910 --> 00:23:53.743
to:
511
00:23:53.743 --> 00:23:54.576
* To feed the entire flock God has brought to this ministry.
512
00:23:56.810 --> 00:23:59.090
* To strengthen those who are diseased in any area
513
00:23:59.090 --> 00:24:01.490
of their lives. * To bring healing to those in need of
514
00:24:01.490 --> 00:24:04.040
any type of healing. * To bind up those
515
00:24:04.040 --> 00:24:06.320
who are broken in any area of their lives.
516
00:24:06.320 --> 00:24:08.300
* To bring back those that have been driven away.
517
00:24:08.300 --> 00:24:10.760
* To reach the lost, and to take the gospel
518
00:24:10.760 --> 00:24:13.010
and the trusted teaching of the Bible to the ends
519
00:24:13.010 --> 00:24:16.070
of the earth. * To shepherd the flock that God has caused
520
00:24:16.070 --> 00:24:18.080
to hear the voice of this ministry
521
00:24:18.080 --> 00:24:20.750
and to help them grow in
their relationship with Christ
522
00:24:20.750 --> 00:24:23.630
and become powerful
Bible-based believers equipped
523
00:24:23.630 --> 00:24:25.070
for these last days.
524
00:24:25.070 --> 00:24:26.420
And * To thank and minister
525
00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:29.540
to partners whose sacrificial
gifts have enabled this
526
00:24:29.540 --> 00:24:32.450
ministry to fulfill its
call around the world.
527
00:24:32.450 --> 00:24:35.810
And we are very committed
to these principles.
528
00:24:35.810 --> 00:24:37.880
And if you're a partner,
you know we're very
529
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:39.650
serious about that.
530
00:24:39.650 --> 00:24:42.860
But hey, right now we're trying to pay off this facility.
531
00:24:42.860 --> 00:24:44.390
So would you please become a part
532
00:24:44.390 --> 00:24:46.970
of the Ministry Expansion Giving Team
533
00:24:46.970 --> 00:24:49.220
so we can pay off this facility
534
00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:53.360
and then keep taking the gospel to the ends of the earth
535
00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:56.060
and my friends together, we can do this.
536
00:24:56.060 --> 00:24:59.000
And I want to say "thank you" so much.
537
00:25:06.830 --> 00:25:09.080
Hey friends, we have had such a good time
538
00:25:09.080 --> 00:25:10.490
with you this week,
539
00:25:10.490 --> 00:25:12.620
and I want to encourage you
to get the whole series,
540
00:25:12.620 --> 00:25:16.550
which is called Questions and Answers with Rick Renner 2025.
541
00:25:16.550 --> 00:25:18.620
And really it's Rick and Joel Renner,
542
00:25:18.620 --> 00:25:20.660
and it comes with a study guide.
543
00:25:20.660 --> 00:25:22.610
And you can order this by going online
544
00:25:22.610 --> 00:25:24.560
or by giving us a call.
545
00:25:24.560 --> 00:25:26.180
And if you need prayer, reach out to us.
546
00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:29.690
And Joel, when somebody
reaches out to us for prayer,
547
00:25:29.690 --> 00:25:33.020
what do they find on the
telephone when they call?
548
00:25:33.020 --> 00:25:36.290
When people call us for
prayer, you'll find faith
549
00:25:36.290 --> 00:25:39.470
and you'll find that we pray
based on the scriptures.
550
00:25:39.470 --> 00:25:41.870
The Bible is the foundation of our life.
551
00:25:41.870 --> 00:25:44.420
And if we pray according to
what the word of God says,
552
00:25:44.420 --> 00:25:46.400
God will hear us and he'll answer us.
553
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:48.710
And that's what you'll find
when you call our ministry.
554
00:25:48.710 --> 00:25:50.810
We'll put our faith out with yours
555
00:25:50.810 --> 00:25:53.750
and we'll pray together according to what the Bible says.
556
00:25:53.750 --> 00:25:54.770
And we'll believe with you for
557
00:25:54.770 --> 00:25:56.240
miracles that happen in your life.
558
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:59.330
And we see so many
miracles, so many miracles.
559
00:25:59.330 --> 00:26:02.270
You know, when I'm in
Tulsa, very often I'll walk
560
00:26:02.270 --> 00:26:03.800
through the partner care ministry
561
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:08.840
and I'll just stand behind our team and listen to them.
562
00:26:08.840 --> 00:26:11.240
And usually I'm so quiet they
don't know that I'm there
563
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:12.950
and they're so focused
564
00:26:12.950 --> 00:26:15.710
that they don't realize
I'm standing behind them.
565
00:26:15.710 --> 00:26:19.640
But I just stop and listen to
how they're praying for people
566
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:20.990
that reach out to us.
567
00:26:20.990 --> 00:26:24.560
And I'm telling you, people
really get prayed for.
568
00:26:24.560 --> 00:26:28.250
And if you need prayer,
you will really be prayed
569
00:26:28.250 --> 00:26:30.620
for if you call the number on the screen
570
00:26:30.620 --> 00:26:32.450
or if you send us an email
571
00:26:32.450 --> 00:26:34.790
and we really want to hear from you.
572
00:26:34.790 --> 00:26:37.790
But Joel and I are gonna join hands
573
00:26:37.790 --> 00:26:38.900
and we're gonna pray for you right now.
574
00:26:38.900 --> 00:26:41.120
And Joel, thanks for being
with me this week. Yes sir.
575
00:26:41.120 --> 00:26:42.290
Father, thank you so much
576
00:26:42.290 --> 00:26:45.300
that you've given us this
wonderful time together
577
00:26:45.300 --> 00:26:46.560
as we have looked at
578
00:26:46.560 --> 00:26:49.650
so many things about the
wonderful word of God.
579
00:26:49.650 --> 00:26:50.970
Thank you for our friends. Thank you
580
00:26:50.970 --> 00:26:53.010
for our partners and Jesus
581
00:26:53.010 --> 00:26:55.860
we ask you to move mightily in their life.
582
00:26:55.860 --> 00:26:59.220
We pray they would be firmly established in the Word of God
583
00:26:59.220 --> 00:27:01.530
i Jesus' name - Amen.
584
00:27:02.430 --> 00:27:04.440
Well, I will see you in the next program,
585
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:08.850
but until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
586
00:27:08.850 --> 00:27:12.450
"Where the word of a king is, there is power."
587
00:27:12.450 --> 00:27:14.700
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
588
00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:19.110
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
589
00:27:19.110 --> 00:27:21.240
Jesus has to give you.
590
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:25.320
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
591
00:27:25.320 --> 00:27:29.340
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
592
00:27:29.340 --> 00:27:32.310
and Lord. Wash away my sin
593
00:27:32.310 --> 00:27:35.340
and make me completely new.
594
00:27:35.340 --> 00:27:39.150
I thank you that my sin is removed
595
00:27:39.150 --> 00:27:44.150
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
596
00:27:44.670 --> 00:27:48.660
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
597
00:27:48.660 --> 00:27:50.160
for the rest of my life -
598
00:27:51.210 --> 00:27:55.260
