“the bible says a kind word turns away wrath”
A Bible-study teaching on the Hebrew word ahavah (love) that traces its first mention (Genesis 22:2), its Hebrew letter-pictures (Aleph-Heh-Beth-Heh) and lexical senses, contrasts Old Testament ahavah with New Testament Greek loves (agape, phileo, storge, eros, mania), and applies love as a conscious, sacrificial choice (not merely a feeling). The talk emphasizes God's giving nature (John 3:16), the heart/lev as the decision center, practical discipleship (forgiveness, boundaries, marriage discernment, spiritual maturity), and living out Christ-like love in everyday relationships.
“A gentle answer turns away wrath.”
Pastor Steve Wilburn (Core Church LA) preaches from Ephesians 4 on how Christians are to "learn to walk" with Christ: beware false teaching, lay aside the old sinful ways, and intentionally put on the new, Christlike life. He calls believers to mature discipleship by testing teaching against Scripture, repenting, replacing harmful habits (lies, crude speech, theft, uncontrolled anger) with truth, kindness, work, forgiveness, and holiness, and issues an invitation for spiritual renewal.
“A soft answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.”
A practical conversation about how to read, study, and teach the Bible plus a ranked critique of popular English translations. The hosts unpack Jesus' temptation (and dominion theology) to show why Scripture is our weapon, then give concrete habits, study methods, family rhythms, and translation recommendations.
