There Is A War Going On & It's Over The Word Of God! - Part 6 - Ep. 703 - 5-27-2025

Israel reborn in 1948, the prophetic clock ticking again, and why the Bible can be read literally. In this episode of the Smith and Rowland Show, the hosts walk through Daniel 9, the times and seasons, and how knowledge has increased after centuries when Scripture was nearly lost. They trace the recovery of the Word of God from stone tablets to hearts, then through manuscripts, printing, and translations.

Topics include the preservation of Scripture by multiple copies, the Textus Receptus and the King James tradition, and how modern versions often lean on Westcott and Hort. The conversation also addresses the Replacement Theology Debate, the scattering and regathering of Israel, and the last days. Clear, direct talk about faith, obedience, and worship through the Word, not only through music.

There Is A War Going On & It's Over The Word Of God! - Part 5 - Ep. 702 - 5-23-2025

Fresh insight on the preservation of the Word of God, the Reformation stream, and the 19th‑century Brethren movement. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland trace how literal reading, prophetic conferences at Powerscourt, and voices like J. N. Darby sparked a recovery of eschatology, renewed debate over dispensationalism, and helped shape modern views on Israel. They contrast allegory with a plain reading of scripture, discuss spiritual gifts without cutting pages from the Bible, and warn about today’s slide away from scripture. This is a war of ideas, not flesh, and the standard is God’s written word.

Highlights:

 * From Dark Ages loss to Reformation recovery
 * Powerscourt meetings and the push for literal interpretation
 * Dispensational thinking, Israel, and public policy
 * Gifts, faith, and why clarity beats superstition
 * Why knowledge increased and how that shaped culture

There Is A War Going On & It's Over The Word Of God! - Part 4 - Ep. 701 - 5-22-2025

The Smith and Rowland Show takes a hard look at Matthew 13:52 and the calling of the scribe. Alan and Jeff trace how God preserves His word, why language and precise words matter, and how relationship with Scripture shapes a believer. They unpack the parable, the meaning of kingdom and heaven, and the call to bring treasures new and old from the heart.

The episode moves from the threat of deconstruction to practical discipleship, worship, and discipline. They walk through Josiah’s recovery of the lost book, then survey the long recovery of the Bible after the dark ages: Wycliffe, Hus, Luther, the Puritans, Wesley and Whitefield, and the early prophetic conferences. See how old foundations and fresh insight can live in harmony, not in constant debate.

Themes include:

 * The Bible as the living word, not just a book
 * The difference between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven
 * Why leaders who honor Scripture bring peace in a time of cultural war
 * How congregations show revival by living kingdom principles
 * Treasures that are new and old, and how to draw from both
