Avizandum with Pastor John Munro

Take a Break

During summer we often have opportunities for time away from the usual routine. Did you know that taking a break is biblical? Join John as he discusses God's marvelous gift of rest.

"Write Them on the Doorposts of Your House"

Having verses of Scripture displayed in the home was once a common practice. John shares about the two texts displayed in his study, and why intentional reminders of Scripture can be so helpful.

Burial or Cremation?

Is there anything wrong with a Christian being cremated? John deals with this very personal issue and common question raised by many families by offering biblical background and personal thoughts.

Marriage Advice

Having a strong and lasting Christian marriage means more than a beautiful ceremony. Don't miss the podcast as John discusses important relationship considerations and the value of premarital counseling.

Justice for All

Equal justice under the law is a worthy goal. But the reality can be quite different. Recently John was thinking of some of the differences in US and Scottish criminal trials, and he draws our attention to God’s requirements for us in our dealings with one another.

Reckless Rhetoric

With the rise of social media, the way we communicate has changed. Rather than relate face to face, it’s all too easy to disagree or insult someone online without regard to the consequences, perpetuating hurt, anger and, division. Join John as he considers this fundamental shift and explains why Christians are to be different.

Entertaining the Goats

Some preachers and churches feel that it is necessary to put on an entertaining show to increase attendance. But how does this impact our view of the power and authority of Scripture? Join John as he discusses the biblical implications.

Labelling People

Isn't it true that we often put labels on people to try to define or describe them? What about theological labels? Some people like to put these labels on themselves! Join John for thoughts on why this can be unhelpful to the Body of Christ.

Doing What You Are Told

Obedience can be a struggle for children and adults alike! But obedience is central to living a life which pleases God. Do you think of the commands in the Bible as optional, or no longer relevant? Join John for a fresh look at biblical commands and revisit why it is our delight to obey.

Relationships

Being a follower of Christ is not a solo performance! Getting along with people is a foundational part of personal life and ministry in the church and community. So what are the biblical keys for building good relationships?
