How can we be perfect as God is perfect? Isn’t perfection, humanly speaking, unattainable given our sin and sinfulness? What hope do we have in achieving such a perfection of a perfectly righteous and holy God? What did Jesus truly mean by these words? Join us today to hear Dr. Caldwell provide a biblically balanced answer to what it means to be “perfect” according to Christ’s command. Dr. Caldwell understands the text to serve a two-fold purpose depending on who is hearing. For those who are lost and not yet saved, it points them to the standard that God requires, which is His own perfections, His own holiness. Individuals must realize they cannot live up to the perfections, the holiness of God. They must see their complete inability to meet God’s standard of perfection in their life and works and be aware of their sinfulness and need for forgiveness and grace. It reveals to them their need for the grace of God in salvation, which we know as believers comes only through Jesus Christ. For believers, those who have heard and believed in Christ, that standard hasn’t changed. Believers have been gifted and clothed with the righteousness of Christ and have been forgiven all our sins. Yet, while we are the recipients of the merits of God’s own Son and hav...

There are also many questions around the topic of divorce and remarriage. Those questions don't typically end with one’s decision to divorce or remarry. Many of those questions are difficult, and the answers are not always easy and clear-cut. Therefore, each situation needs to be dealt with individually based on the situation and circumstances of the individuals involved. However, one truth of the matter is sin is always involved in the case of divorce and, more often than not, in the case of remarriage. Biblical wisdom is required in answering and applying truth to these challenging, painful, and sinful circumstances. Join us this week on the Straight Truth Podcast as Dr. Josh Philpot presents Dr. Richard Caldwell with a couple of these difficult questions from a listener who seeks to right a wrong with God after a divorce and remarriage. The listener asks, if they have already divorced and remarried, how do they repent from what they've done? They also ask what they should do to make it right in God’s sight. Not knowing the circumstances, Dr. Caldwell says that you just acknowledge that. Not knowing where the sin happened, whether on the divorce side, the remarriage side, or both sides of the issue, repentance must exist where the sin was committed. What you do is ask the Lord to forgive you. Often, this kind of question will include someone asking if they should divorce the person they're married to and return to their former spouse. Dr. Caldwell says no, you don’t do that; you don’t commit other sins as a way of rectifying the original sin(s). The Law of God is clear on this issue of divorce and remarriage. Once someone has left their spouse and has married another,

Some say yes, while others say no. If he was saved, how was he saved? Was he saved under the provisions of the Old Covenant, or was he saved under the New Covenant? Is his salvation the same sort of salvation that we receive today under the New Covenant, or is it something different? Some years after Christ’s death on the cross and His resurrection, the Apostle Paul writes in Romans 10:9, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Did the thief confess these things and confess his sin? He was literally on his bed of death, so in addition to all this, there’s the question of baptism. The thief wasn’t baptized. How can what happened between Jesus and the two thieves be explained so we might better understand what took place? Join us on the Straight Truth Podcast this week as Dr. Richard Caldwell and Dr. Josh Philpot discuss the biblical account of the thief on the cross from Luke 23. Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Philpot seek to help us see how this story illustrates key aspects of faith, salvation, and even evangelism. From Luke 23:32-33, we learn that two thieves (also called criminals/robbers elsewhere) are led away with and will be put to death on crosses along with Jesus, one on His right and one on His left. Dr. Philpot shares the account of Luke 23 from verses 39-43, where these two criminals have both been reviling Jesus (See Matthew 27:44, Mark 15:32) when almost suddenly one criminal profoundly rebukes the other and then goes on to appeal to Jesus to remember him when He comes into His Kingdom. Jesus answers that man by saying, Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise. Dr. Caldwell tells us Jesus answered that man’s request, and he was saved. But how did that happen, we ask? He was saved the same way that salvation has been throughout history. Salvation has always been by grace alone, faith alone,
