On Guard!

Season 14, Ep. 294
This is empowering Encouragement #40. Don’t say in your heart, "I will go to this place and to that place, and I shall not sin;" for you are never so out of danger of sinning as to boast of security. The road is very mucky and muddy, it will be hard to pick your path so as not to get your shoes and your clothes dirty. This is a world of thick, dark, sticky tar; you will need to watch often, if in handling it you are to keep your hands clean. Be on your guard. Just as a person carrying an open container of gasoline would not dare go near an open flame, we too too must take care that we enter not into temptation. https://www.gotquestions.org/be-sober-and-vigilant.html"Other Things with...

The Jesus Revolution Part 2

Season 14, Ep. 293
After posting “The Jesus Revolution” podcast, the question came into my mind, “So if we as Christians really did go all in for Jesus every morning, every day, what would that look like and how could it revolutionize our world for Jesus? The answer, in one word is – “LOVE”. If every person who believes that Jesus is the way to the eternal salvation of a human soul manifested the love of Jesus Christ every moment of every day, the fuel for the power of evil that is presently running the world systems would evaporate, or in the least, be reduced to a mere shadow of its former self. Listen to the verse CHATGPT, a beta AI website lists as ten Bible verses on the Love of God!Song “Dialogue Part 1 & 2.” ,1972 on album, “Chicago 5.” Listen HERE!"Other Things with...

The Jesus Revolution

Season 14, Ep. 292
Time Magazine Cover Article, Monday, Jun. 21, 1971: on the cover there is a pop art illustration of Jesus with the words arching over his head that read, “The Jesus Revolution”. There is a resurgence of interest in this movement that took place in the late 1960s until the mid-1970s. The current box off hit, “Jesus Revolution” is at the helm of this interest. The bottom line for this podcast is this question, “What happened to the Jesus Revolution?” How and why did the wheels come off? Special movements by God in any culture, society, town, government , church, or home, is a God thing…we don’t create it or control it, we enjoy it.In spite of how grim things presently seem, A JESUS MOVEMENT CAN HAPPEN IN OUR DAY! We can pray for it and do our part to prepare for it. But, it is not just about a special movement or an event, it is about a lifestyle that happens moment by moment, day by day. “Jesus Revolution” the Time Magazine Article“Jesus Revolution” the movie What God Hath WroughtThe Jesus Movement"Other Things with...

Riding the High Horse?

Season 14, Ep. 291
A proud and arrogant heart is the prophetic prelude of evil. It is an absolute fact, that in the spiritual real, that coming events cast their shadows before them. When individuals have ridden the high horse, destruction has always overtaken them. This episode delves into the truth written in Proverbs 18:12 “Before his downfall a person’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.” Though you can perhaps point to many people in your past that you have seen taken down by the Lord because of their proud hearts, or you may think NEED to be taken down, but this podcast is intended to provoke introspection to insure that WE are not riding the high horse! May we repent from the sin of pride the easy way by responding in obedience to God's will and way, rather than the hard way of chastisement or punishment, and to give all glory, honor, and praise to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!2 Samuel 24Background info on the sin of King David's census from here gotquestions.org Book printing in Spurgeon's day."Other Things with...

The Bread Wars of London!

Season 14, Ep. 290
It’s crazy to see how our entire structure of food is under assault from every direction, EVERY DIRECTION…from the genetic tampering, formula altering, ingredient manipulation, vocabulary reassignment, politicization, targeted elimination, viral contamination, and on and on the list of assaults on our food sources continue. The goal of today’s podcast is to set the wheels in motion to encourage you to think before you eat, and become a student of what you are putting in your body. We have a moral responsibility to stay informed and educated regarding the fuel we put in these human bodies, which the Bible tells us, if we are Christians, are the temple of the Holy Spirit of God. https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/mrs-bairds-bakeries-inchttps://www.encyclopedia.com/books/politics-and-business-magazines/mrs-bairds-bakeriesThe Bread Wars of the UKhttps://www.sustainweb.org/realbread/Vintage Pachinko Machine"Other Things with...

Are You a Good Existentialist?

Season 14, Ep. 289
Christianity is a relationship with Jesus Christ and not religious practices. If we are trying to approach God through zealous religion apart from an eternity transforming relationship with Jesus Christ, we are self-deluding and hypocritical; we have put off God with heartless duties; we have acted in religion as if we have been blessing an idol; we are left powerless to search our hearts and regulate it, and exercise it in our performances; a religion that leaves us without an eternal standing before the coming Lord. May we be those who are found diligent to study our hearts, watch our hearts, keep our hearts! How right it is to step aside often to talk with God and our own hearts; that we would keep a more true and faithful account of our thoughts and affections; that we would seriously demand of our own heart at least every evening, “O my heart, where have you been today, and what has engaged your thoughts?”Core thoughts of this episode curated from John Flavel: "Treatise on Keeping the Heart" (public domain).

6 Helps to Keep Our Hearts!

Season 13, Ep. 288
A deeper dive into six aspects to consider as we seek to keep our hearts with God: 1.We need to take a frequent inventory of the condition of the heart, 2.A sense of shame over sin, that results in a closer walk with God, 3. An earnest appeal and instant prayer for purifying and rectifying grace when sin has corrupted and dishonored the heart, 4. Enact strong commitments and arrangements upon ourselves to walk more carefully with God, and avoid the occasions in which the heart may be induced to sin, 5.  Maintain a constant and holy jealousy over our own hearts. Quick sighted self-jealousy is an excellent preservative from sin,  6. Wake up to the reality of God's presence with us, and setting the Lord always before us. "Other Things with...
