Episode 25; Fighting Unbelief: You Are What You Eat; or The Finest of Wheat

Welcome everyone to Episode 25 of The Higher Calling podcast presented by the Avondale Church of God! During the last couple of episodes we have been talking about an objective reality that we don’t always see due to illusions, or non-real things that we perceive, which can turn into delusions which are non-real things that we believe. The bible teaches us that to prevent unbelief we need to see and know truth and the knowledge of truth comes from preaching, and making sure that we are listening to the right voices.

Alot of times, unbelief in the preached word happens due to some inner conflict and struggle about how it would still be best for someone to leave the Fair Havens of safety and all the while ignoring the counsel of their preacher and embark in pursuit of some more commodious goal.

The inspired message, the word of God nourishes, instructs and edifies. Shipwreck can be avoided if the hearer trusts the word, even if they don’t understand it right away. Unbelief will cause someone to throw out the truth that they know… their cargo of wheat, and cause them to be driven by storms and tempests away from the safe haven. In God’s great mercy, the word could come again to them, with instruction and help to rescue them out of shipwreck and get their life back on track. There is a danger of worship or religion that is hypocritical, in the fact that it can lead folks astray, and it happened during John’s time as prophesied by Christ. It’s happening around us today. Will you consume Barley along with your Wheat? Will you spit out the Wheat in favor of Barley? Would you reject the nourishing bread in favor of false religion?
