On Being Christian: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Pastor Nolan G Ruby
We are redefining (or more accurately stated - we are correctly defining), what being a Christian means. Too often who we claim to be has become nothing more than a matter of who we say we are, but who we really are has much more to do with what we do and how we live. The On Being Christian Podcast aims at removing the title Christian from being nothing more than a NOUN people use to define themselves and placing it back in the VERB category. Meaning it is an action that people practice to define themselves. This Podcast won't be what you think it is, but you might find it is exactly what you need it to be.

123 | The Foolishness of Status
Only in the affairs of men has status been allowed to become as “important” as it has. We judge and accept or reject each other based on nothing more than the subjective theoretical ideas of who is less or more important, a concept itself grounded in nothing more than temporary situations. What if we flipped the whole nonsensical notion of “status” on its head, and just treated people like they are worth our best no matter what? That’s the content of this episode; I hope you enjoy it.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G.

122 | Finding Value & Fault Correctly
Humanity seems to be as good at finding value where we want, as we are at finding fault where we desire. The issue seems to be that we always seem to find value in ourselves and what we think, and we find fault in others and what they think. What do you suppose would change if we found value and fault in accordance with Biblical guidelines as opposed to our own subjective views? This episode is all about the correct perspective of what is valuable, as well as, what is faulty.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G.

121 | Why We Come to Christ
The notion of coming to Christ is not a new one for most people, but sometimes, why we come to Christ has more to do with whether or not we actually have a relationship with him. As is the case for most things, why we do something is often more important than how we do it or just the fact that we did it. This episode is all about the proper doctrinal reasons the Bible gives for coming to Jesus Christ.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G.

120 | Repentance that Saves
Repentance may be perhaps one of the most misunderstood aspects of Biblical Doctrine within Christianity today. It has been defined incorrectly as "a work" for many years by most "scholars", which has led to a lot of confusion with respect to genuine Salvation. This episode aims at understanding from true Biblical Doctrine what repentance to God looks like and what one must repent from. Episode #120 ties in very purposefully with last week's episode (#119), which was about the role of faith in Salvation.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G.

119 | Salvation Without Faith?
This episode is an important one, although regrettably, not a new subject of debate within Christianity. I have recently beeb brought into a conversation with respect to the idea of whether or not an individual in their "natural state" (a lost individual or an individual who has not accepted the forgiveness of their sins available in Jesus Christ our Savior), can even have the faith required to put their trust in Christ for their Salvation. This is one of the false tenants of Calvinistic philosophy known as "limited atonement", due to what is called "the total depravity of man". This debate has been repackaged and redesigned for years in the attempt to make it make sense, and yet still, it is nonsense. This episode will show from the Bible, why faith is the only means for an individual to receive forgiveness of their sins.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G.

118 | Having the Correct Focus
In life we are asked to focus on many things, not all of it is helpful, and very little of it is necessary (or at least not as necessary as we may think). How do we have the "correct" focus? Is there even such a thing as correct focus? There is focus that benefits and focus that hinders, and that is what this episode is all about.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G.

117 | Correction is Coming
There’s two things that you can do with doctrinal correction - you can accept it or you can reject it. The acceptance of doctrinal correction (done with love and compassion) will lead to personal blessings and fulfillment in your life, not to mention that God can then use you for the purpose in which He designed you to be used. Rejection of doctrinal correction will lead you to being stuck and unusable concerning the intent for which God designed you. So being a Christian is about accepting correction; whether you accept it or reject it, correction is coming.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G.

116 | When It’s Too Late To Obey
God will always forgive, when we seek that forgiveness by repentance through faith. There's no question about that, by the study of God's Word. However, at times, even though we have received forgiveness, we're still left dealing with the consequences of our disobedience toward God. This episode is about a story that shows us what it looks like when it takes us too long to obey.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G.
