EPISODE 294 WHOLLY FOLLOWING THE LORD

Deut.1:35-36 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
What a great affirmation to have God say about you, let’s make that our goal, to so live our lives that God could say that about us. DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT? JOIN ME NOW!

EPISODE 293 THE MUCH MORE THAN ABUNDANT CHRISTIAN LIFE

Ro. 5: 8-10 But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Therefore, since we have now been justified [declared free of the guilt of sin] by His blood, [how much more certain is it that] we will be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
Ro. 5:17 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, it is much more certain, having been reconciled, that we will be saved [from the consequences of sin] by His life [that is, we will be saved because Christ lives today].For if by the trespass of the one (Adam), death reigned through the one (Adam), much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in [eternal] life through the One, Jesus Christ.
Jn.10:10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].
LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS ABUNDANT LIFE!

EPISODE 292 HOW CAN WE KNOW IT IS GOD SPEAKING TO US?

Am. 3:7 Certainly the Lord GOD does nothing
Unless He reveals His secret plan
To His servants the prophets.
Jn. 15:15 I do not call you servants any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you [My] friends, because I have revealed to you everything that I have heard from My Father.
Jer. 33:3 ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.’
Are you ready for God to show you these great and mighty things?

EPISODE 289 LIVING FOR GOD AND OTHERS

Mt. 22:37-40 And Jesus replied to him, “‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART,  AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,  AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
This is the first and greatest commandment.
The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for others].’
The whole Law and the [writings of the] Prophets depend on these two commandments.”
THIS IS THE REASON FOR OUR SEASON HERE ON EARTH, LET’S TALK ABOUT IT!

EPISODE 288 BLESSED TO BE A SERVANT

Php.2:1-9 Therefore if there is any encouragement and comfort in Christ [as there certainly is in abundance], if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship [that we share] in the Spirit, if [there is] any [great depth of] affection and compassion,
make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love [toward one another], knit together in spirit, intent on one purpose [and living a life that reflects your faith and spreads the gospel — the good news regarding salvation through faith in Christ].
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit [through factional motives, or strife], but with [an attitude of] humility [being neither arrogant nor self-righteous], regard others as more important than yourselves.
Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
Have this same attitude in yourselves which was in Christ Jesus [look to Him as your example in selfless humility],
who, although He existed in the form and unchanging essence of God [as One with Him, possessing the fullness of all the divine attributes — the entire nature of deity], did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped or asserted [as if He did not already possess it, or was afraid of losing it];
but emptied Himself [without renouncing or diminishing His deity, but only temporarily giving up the outward expression of divine equality and His rightful dignity] by assuming the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men [He became completely human but was without sin, being fully God and fully man].
After He was found in [terms of His] outward appearance as a man [for a divinely-appointed time], He humbled Himself [still further] by becoming obedient [to the Father] to the point of death, even death on a cross.
For this reason also [because He obeyed and so completely humbled Himself], God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
