    ACAPELLA 10. To Be A Pilgrim Nov 26, 2025
    Show notes

    The most famous "pilgrim" hymn is generally considered as "To Be a Pilgrim" (also known as "He Who Would Valiant Be" or "He Who Would True Valour See"). The lyrics were taken from John Bunyan's classic 1684 book, The Pilgrim's Progress. The poem describes the Christian life as a courageous journey, a pilgrimage against all odds and temptations.

    258. Is Purgatory Real? Nov 20, 2025
    Show notes

    Protestants do not believe in purgatory. They typically reject the doctrine because they argue it lacks biblical support and is inconsistent with the Protestant belief in salvation by faith alone, which holds that Jesus's sacrifice is sufficient for all sin. The concept of Purgatory is thus not adhered to by all Christians but is nevertheless a fascinating topic well worth investigating.

    257. What is Purgatory? Nov 18, 2025
    Show notes

    The concept of Purgatory is not adhered to by all Christians but is nevertheless a fascinating topic well worth investigating. The word "purgatory" is rooted in Latin, meaning to purify, purge, or cleanse; a place or condition of temporal punishment for spiritual cleansing after death of souls dying penitent and destined ultimately for Heaven. It is NOT considered as a place of probation, for, the ultimate salvation of those in purgatory is assured, and the impenitent are NOT received into purgatory. The souls in purgatory are supposed, however, to receive relief through the prayers of the faithful and according to the traditional Catholic understanding, through the sacrifice of the mass. Protestants do not believe in purgatory. They typically reject the doctrine because they argue it lacks biblical support and is inconsistent with the Protestant belief in salvation by faith alone, which holds that Jesus's sacrifice is sufficient for all sin.
