In our 7th episode, Pastor Lance takes a look at one of the early challenges to the orthodox faith in Montanism: the heretical beliefs of a group that emerged over concerns about the growing moral laxity among Christians. Was their persecution an overreach of cautious, consolidating instincts, or the rightful dissolution of a false and wayward path?

This week's Live Q&A is hosted by fellow Pastor Lance Ralston, an Enduring Word board member and partnered creator. After the lead question for this episode, it's on to your questions in the live chat!
Pastor Lance's question this week is: "What is a Biblical way to respond when being accused of intolerance in the workplace for simply giving a Biblical response to a heated topic, even with love and grace?"
Psalm 136 is a special psalm, with each one of its 26 verses repeating the sentence, His mercy endures forever. Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, the phrase has somewhat of a liturgical sense to it, as if the assembled people of Israel said or sung this in response to the direction of the Levites leading singing and worship. We picture a great multitude of the people of God gathered in the temple courts. A priest or Levite would call out a reason to give God thanks, and His people would respond with, “For His mercy endures forever.”
Consider how great the mercy of God is, as it is expressed in the person and work of Jesus Christ throughout this wonderful psalm!
Psalm 100 is a psalm of thanksgiving, and it speaks of an invitation to the whole earth to know and to worship God.
Pastor David Guzik gives the what and why of giving praise and the what and why of giving thanks.
