https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-8db6e-1241e0c What do we say when asked the simple, foundational, yet controversial truths of our faith?  The answers will tell us what we really believe and who we really follow.

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-qjs9c-1239a4f I’ve heard it said that if you say something enough times people will start to believe it.  Unfortunately, this method of teaching has been used in the Church for centuries.  We have adopted traditions that fly in the face of scripture, and that is unacceptable.  Let us reassess what we think we know by…

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-xbyn7-1230e2b There is a way that seems right to man but only leads to death.  Many will live their lives making decisions based on emotions and the whims of their hearts.  They do not accept that our hearts are inherently wicked to the point of deceiving even ourselves.  Let us live with more wisdom, following…

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-wp2ya-1228201 Where do you place your trust?  Whether life is going well or has become an utter nightmare, where do you find your security?  If we think for a moment that we are sustained by any of our worldly possessions or achievements, we should think again.  Those have never paved the way to everything life.

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-vibz8-12155ba We have the option to live in the flesh or live in the Spirit.  Individually and corporately, it is critical for us to eschew the flesh and choose the Spirit.  Let us review some practical steps to have our minds renewed so that we live in the Spirit for the Lord.

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-9wcnp-120bf88 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…

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-8db5b-12014aa 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.

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-ha2hz-11f6ad5 Test the fruit you see and hear.  Seek the Lord in his word for direction and correction, because we are not above being misled.  He tells us how we can know when a sheep is indeed a wolf seeking to deceive and mislead.  We are accountable for testing what comes our way before we…

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-3r845-11ebb24 Maybe victory is not exactly how we think it looks.  Maybe it’s enough just to get back up.  Maybe it’s enough just to take another blow and keep going.  Maybe just facing the day is its own victory.
