The loved, the disciplined
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-5kb76-1413dd4 Although God’s forgiveness is full and final, it does not mean that the consequences of our sins are taken away. God’s hand of correction redirects but allows or even brings the consequences necessary for our improvement. When his correction is difficult or painful, let us remember that it is rooted in God’s love for…
Read MoreThe Old Testament still working today
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-u2tmn-140a58d Just because it is “old”, it does not mean that it is over. Many prophecies in the Old Testament have yet to come to pass, and we live in the shadow of those promises.

Read MoreThe fall of the proud
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-brth3-13ffc93 We have seen proud or self-centered people fall far in this life. We also have seen similar people seem to coast through life and end on a high note. Yet, the word of God tells us that every proud and haughty person will be brought down.

Read MoreThe example of the good shepherd
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-dwf4t-13f6016 It is critical for us to discern whether the shepherds who lead us here on Earth lead us in Spirit and in truth. We can look at the example of our good shepherd as our measuring rod. Those who are led by him will lead like him.
Read MoreFollow not your heart
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-ydxik-13ecdf4 There is a way that seems right to man but only leads to death.

Let us live with more wisdom, following…
Read MoreEspecially today, continue to speak the truth with courage
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-c3ftq-13e4460 I remember a professor of mine who hated when her students answered questions sheepishly. She wanted us to speak our answers boldly and with confidence, sure in what we were saying. That is how God wants us to represent him. When it becomes difficult to speak up for God, He will give us the…

Read MoreThe flavor of the month
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-md488-13d1c81 In our search for truth and wisdom, we must be careful to find these in God and his word first. It is too easy to get caught up in Christian culture trends, in the new greatest message or messenger. They might be good learning tools, but they are not our source. Do not let…
Read MoreA life among the weeds
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-ui8dg-13c81d5 As the Lord plants good seed, the enemy plants his weeds. While we must navigate life today with this infiltration of evil, we can rest on the promise that the future day of harvest will banish those weeds forever.
Read MoreLoaves, fish and souls
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-dhg5f-13bed2b This Christian life is about surrender, which will require that we give everything to God. This expectation of generosity and willingness to let go should not make us nervous or bring thoughts of scarcity and need. God’s abundance is revealed when we abundantly surrender all to him.
