Deep discussion on how the Gospel is powerless when conviction stops short of action; Learning to tame our thoughts with Max Lucado; and a historic summit on Israel with Dr. Michael Rydelnik

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our theme "Five Stunning Realities of the Gospel.  Our scripture reference was Mark 6:14-29.  We had a great discussion on the power of conviction, especially through the Gospel.  We are all convicted of something or by someone every day, but what are our actions?  What is the power behind those actions? 

Pastor, speaker, and award-winning author, Max Lucado, helped us learn ways to tame our thoughts.  His new book is called "Tame Your Thoughts: 3 Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life".  We must guard our thoughts and weed out unhealthy thought patterns.  It's vital to separate the present issue from the real issue.

We also talked with Dr. Michael Rydelnik.  He is Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies and Bible at MBI.  Dr. Rydelnik is the host of the radio program Open Line.  Dr. Rydelnik (as well as Karl) will be speaking at The Summit on Israel and the Last Days Conference on November 8th at the Moody Bible Institute.  He also shared his family history and testimony as a Jewish believer.
