Classic Christianity – Our Attitude Towards Legalism – Part 3 – 11-11-26

~ 2 Corinthians 5:21 — God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God..

In “Classic Christianity — Our Attitude Towards Legalism, Part 3,” Bob George explains Jesus’ rebukes of the religious leaders in Matthew 23. Jesus condemned their focus on outward rules—such as carefully tithing herbs—while neglecting justice, mercy, and faithfulness. George uses the image of straining out a gnat while swallowing a camel to illustrate how religious legalism can elevate minor observances over what matters most.

The talk then focuses on hypocrisy: appearing righteous outwardly while harboring greed, self-indulgence, and other failures within. George says Jesus’ strong words were not a lack of love; they were meant to expose the leaders’ condition and their blindness to their own faults. He contrasts their judgment of others with the mercy people often seek for themselves.

Bob emphasizes that everyone has sinned and that God looks at the heart, not merely outward conduct or religious reputation. He argues that acknowledging sin as sin is necessary to recognize the need for forgiveness at the cross and freedom in Christ.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Classic Christianity – Our Attitude Towards Legalism – Part 2 – 11-10-26

~ Matthew 23:23-24 — Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

In this teaching, Bob George focuses on Jesus’ confrontation with the religious leaders in Matthew 22–23. He begins with Jesus’ teaching that the whole law and the prophets hinge on loving God and loving one’s neighbor. George says Jesus used this exchange to expose the gap between the leaders’ knowledge of religious law and the love it was meant to express. Classic Christianity – “Our Attitude Towards Legalism Part 2”

Bob then highlights Jesus’ warning not to imitate the Pharisees’ behavior: they placed heavy demands on others but did not help carry those burdens themselves. He connects this to religious performance and status-seeking, emphasizing Jesus’ teaching that greatness comes through serving others, not through titles, public recognition, or self-exaltation.

A central message is that legalism can obstruct people from trusting Christ by suggesting that God’s acceptance must be earned through good deeds.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Classic Christianity – Our Attitude Towards Legalism – Part 1 – 11-09-26

~ Matthew 23:1-4 — Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples: “The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

In “Our Attitude Towards Legalism, Part 1,” Bob George teaches that turning one’s eyes toward Jesus means understanding His thoughts and attitudes. Bob says believers receive the mind of Christ through the indwelling Holy Spirit, who reveals spiritual truth.

Bob contrasts life in Christ with legalism, arguing that the law cannot give life and that believers should not be placed back under its demands. He compares legalistic teachers of his time to the Judaizers who sought to bring Christians under the law.

Discussing Jesus’ response to religious experts, Bob highlights the two greatest commandments: love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. He emphasizes that people respond to God’s love rather than earning His favor through faith or good deeds.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P1179 (11-06-26)

~ We love because He first loved us. ~ 1 John 4:19

On this episode of Classic Christianity Radio, Bob George welcomes listeners to a thoughtful conversation centered on faith in everyday life. Through callers’ questions about forgiveness, bitterness, God’s love, serving others, and parenting, Bob shares biblical perspectives and encouragement rooted in the message of Christ.

Ted Cole called after returning home from serving in Iraq with the National Guard. He thanked listeners for supporting the shipment of Classic Christianity books, study guides, and Victory Over Depression books. He said the materials had been well received and that a Bible study was continuing there; Bob encouraged him to stay in touch about possible additional support.

Sandra asked about sudden, recurring feelings of bitterness despite having worked through forgiveness before. Bob said those moments can reveal lingering bitterness and advised her to let go of the offense, remember her forgiveness in Christ, and pray for the person involved rather than dwell on the hurt.

John asked how Jesus’ teaching about forgiving others relates to the New Testament message of God’s forgiveness. Bob explained his view that the Lord’s Prayer reflects the Old Covenant, while under the New Covenant believers are forgiven through Christ and are to forgive others as Christ forgave them.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P1178 (11-05-26)

~ For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!. ~ Romans 5:10

The Classic Christianity Radio program featured a series of listener calls about Christian belief, spiritual guidance, and struggles with sin. Bob George responded from his interpretation of Scripture, emphasizing the centrality of Christ and the Holy Spirit’s work in believers’ lives.

Tony asked about people who claim to receive direct messages from God and call themselves prophets. Bob said he believes there are no prophets today in the sense of receiving new revelations, because the biblical canon is closed. He described such claims as deception and said that, in his view, prophecy today means proclaiming what is already revealed in Scripture.

Stacy asked how Jesus could be tempted in the desert if God cannot be tempted. Bob distinguished between having a temptation presented and feeling an inner desire to act on it. He said Satan presented temptations to Jesus, but Jesus did not desire to sin, and used his own lack of interest in drugs as an analogy.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Classic Christianity – Give Thanks – 11-04-26

~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — “Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Bob George teaches that giving thanks “in all things” means gratitude isn’t dependent on circumstances going well. Life includes both joy and sorrow, and he says a thankful heart begins with seeing life realistically rather than expecting constant happiness.

Bob describes people as having bodily, soulish, and spiritual needs. Physical needs include food and water; soulish needs involve the mind, emotions, and will. He identifies the spiritual needs for unconditional love, acceptance, and meaning as needs that, in his view, can ultimately be met only through God.

Bob cautions against looking to a spouse, family, career, or other people to satisfy those deepest needs. Expecting others to provide perfect love, acceptance, or purpose can create frustration and strain relationships. He presents reliance on Jesus, rather than on people or temporary comforts, as the answer to this misplaced dependency.

Bob also teaches that thoughts shape emotions: dwelling on past mistakes can bring guilt and regret, while imagining future troubles can fuel anxiety. He encourages renewing the mind through biblical truth and turning attention toward what is true and good.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message
