Ephesians - Chapter Three - Paul Miller

Sam Troyer Testimony - Sam Troyer

Biblical Seperation - Paul Miller
July 05, 2016We are to be separate from the world, but what does that mean? Are we to have nothing to do with it? Are we supposed to separate ourselves from other Christians? There is a big difference between inward (spiritual) separation and outward (physical) separation.

Obedience to God - Paul Miller
March 09, 2016It is better to obey than sacrifice, God says. Jesus said if we love Him, we will keep His commandments. We are not under the law, but under grace, so what are the commandments that we should obey? Are we obeying God if we strictly keep a list of religious rules and commands but our hearts are not right with Him? What does it mean to obey? What about love? What about freedom in Jesus? We can obey without love, but we cannot love without obeying. Christians should be the most obedient people, but also the most loving. How do these two aspects fit together? Listen to this conference call about what Biblical obedience means.

Ye Must Be Born Again - Paul Miller
February 08, 2016One of the most essential and important topics in the entire Bible is the new birth. Jesus said that in order to see the kingdom of God, you MUST be born again. This is not optional. This is not a lifelong process. This is an event that must take place in order for you to have eternal life. It is much more than following rules, being baptized, or joining a church. We can do all those things without ever having been born again. We must be changed and be given new life by the Spirit of God. He makes us new. If we die without being born again, it is too late. Listen to our conference call about the new birth and follow along as we discuss from Scripture what the new birth is and what it means—and be certain that you have been born again!

Lord's Supper - Paul Miller
December 18, 2015When was the last time you participated in the Lord’s Supper (communion)? Some churches believe communion should be taken every Sunday in church. Others take communion two to six times a year. While some use real wine, others use grape juice – does it matter? Some believe the unleavened bread and juice/wine represent Christ’s body and blood; others believe it is the very substance of Christ’s body and blood – these would go so far as believe that one is saved when they take of the cup and bread. What is scriptural? What is not? Listen to our Amish Voice Conference Line recording and decide for yourself.

Jesus Christ - Paul Miller

Water Baptism - Paul Miller
October 15, 2015There are some Christians who believe water baptism washes away sin and is necessary for one’s salvation. Others, believe baptism is based on works; therefore, does not play any part in one’s salvation. In addition to those beliefs, there are also certain church denominations who baptize infants; others believe baptism is only for adults who have had a new birth experience. Some sprinkle, some pour and others immerse the whole body in water. Some baptize one time backwards and others baptize three times forward. Lastly, some baptize in Jesus’ name only while others baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Who is right? Listen to the Amish Voice Conference Line discussion.

God the Father - Paul Miller
August 10, 2015When you think of God, what is the very first thing that comes to your mind? Do you see Him as a stern, never smiling, grim faced man with a long white beard, or do you see Him as a loving and caring Father; one who desires to reach out and hug His creation. Some people really struggle to believe that a loving God would send people to a literal lake of fire. Others believe God is both just and loving at the same time. As you consider these thoughts, please listen in as Paul Miller and callers discuss this very important topic on the Amish Conference Line.

Satan, The Enemy - Jonas Yoder
June 11, 2015Whenever you think of Satan, what comes to your mind? Some see him as human looking man with a tail and a pitch fork? Others see him as one burning alive in the lake of fire. The Bible describes him as an angel of light, the accuser of brethren and one who has the voice of a roaring lion – seeking whom he may devour. In this 60-minute Amish Voice Conference discussion, Jonas Yoder and others take a good look at where Satan came from, who he is today and where he will end up.

Me ... Go to Church? Why? - Joe Keim
May 04, 2015For 2,000 years, the Lord Jesus has used the local church as a vehicle (mouth piece) to call tens of thousands of missionaries to the mission field. The Lord Jesus has used the local church as a way for His people to come together in one place and worship His Holy name. It is at the local church, where spiritually gifted teachers, preachers, evangelists, elders and deacons serve the Lord Jesus and His people. The local church is the place where hurting hearts get encouraged, challenged, convicted and driven to make a difference in our generation. When I hear God’s own family members poke fun at the local church, run her down, call her names, find reasons to not attend and, yes, even mock her … it breaks my heart. The truth is, those who find continued fault with the local church, and refuse to attend, are clearly casting their vote to close the doors of the local church.

The Bible, Can It Be Trusted - Paul Miller
April 06, 2015The Bible ... if men wrote it, why do we call it the Word of God? If men wrote it, can we trust it? Why so many versions of the English translation?

Pray Once Or Many Times? - Joe Keim
January 05, 2015Some people believe if you pray for the same thing more than once, it shows a lack of faith. And since faith is the answer to prayer, many prayers go unanswered. Is this true?

To Kill a Lion - Bruce Lengeman
October 06, 2013Men cry out, I know it’s wrong, but why can’t I stop? This is a common cry throughout our culture from Christian men who are seeking to find freedom from the nagging grip of sexual lust. In To Kill a Lion, Bruce Lengeman takes men beyond behavior modification and answers the question, “but what’s driving the drive?” Some approaches to sexual purity adequately tell men, “It’s bad! Don’t do it!” but don’t give men real solutions. To Kill a Lion is about destroying sexual roots. It is about who a man is, not just what he does.

The Family - Paul Miller
September 01, 2013With so many modern families affected by divorce, unhealthy marriages and relationships, it is good to look again briefly at the Biblical model of a family. Due to our sinful natures, we still have disagreements and we still get irritated and even angry at times, but our goal ought to be to become more like Jesus every day - leaving the sin behind and becoming a loving, forgiving, happy, healthy, godly family.

The 5-fold Appeal to be Justified by Faith Alone - Amish Voice Panel
August 04, 2013Tonight's discussion is taken from Galatians 4:8-11: A person is justified by faith and not by law nor by works. It does not matter how many good works a person does nor how good he may become; he can never secure perfection. Therefore, a man can never earn or win the right to live in God’s presence. A man cannot make God accept him—put God in debt—by being good and doing good.

Justified by Faith (P-1) - Amish Voice Panel
April 07, 2013Galatians 3:19-22: When Jesus Christ came, the law was to be set aside. The law was meant to have only a temporary purpose and life span. It was to extend only from Moses to Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ is “the seed” to whom the promise of righteousness was given. God never intended the law to be the way of salvation. It was only for the temporary purpose of showing men their sin and its awfulness.
