gwot.rocks - God, the World, and Other Things!

James 5:20 says "consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins." For most of us who live here in America, in the evening of the day, whether it be at 5pm or midnight, recreational opportunities are plentiful- dining out, an exercise workout at the gym, power walking in the neighborhood, going to a sport event, or family gatherings, to name a few. Most of us live for the evening of the day. I have a question for you - What Do You Do When You Have Nothing You Must Do? Out of all the recreational time in the evening of your day, how much of it is spent in dedicated talking to others about Jesus? This episode encourages us to give some serious thought to intentionally dedicating some of our evening hours within the parameters of our week to being a witness for Jesus.

Acts 24:16 says “I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward both God and man.” It is sad today that many, perhaps most people have no understanding of what the conscience is nor do they care to know. Samuel Ward gives us explosive insight into the origin, power, and purpose of the conscience. This episode is brief in minutes, but robust in depth of content. You will want to listen through once, then go back and listen to it line by line, and meditate on this deep truth, so that your soul and spirit fully absorbs it. Talk about advancing peace in your life...this one, short, episode, can do more for your peace of mind and heart, than anything else you will hear today!Samuel WardWhat is the Conscience?Buy Voices From The PastAll readings in this mini-series from "Voices From The Past" (copyrighted material) are used with permission from the publisher.“Voices From The Past: Puritan Devotional Readings,” edited by Richard Rushing.

In the midst of these turbulent times, God is still doing a new thing! If you have been personally impacted by some loss during these past three years, I encourage you to look to God, focus on Him, rest in Him, wait in him, wait ON HIM, and He will birth a new thing in you and through you. This is the epitome of the reason this podcast is named gwot.rocks...I move from a disappearing church building, to a 90's Christian rap tune, to the recent decision by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, to fall out from the pandemic, back to hope for a future, in spite of all the mess!

This is Reading # 3 in our special 20 part series on "Voices From The Past, Volume 1" (May3rd, pg.124),a 365 daily devotions from Puritan authors. Focus of this episode: Provision. In the model prayer Jesus teaches us to pray “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11.) Pay close attention to what Thomas Manton has to say about the peculiar destination of God’s providence, how His providence extends to all men, the difference between His common bounty and His covenant blessings, and the two-fold war in man.Matthew 5https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_MantonBuy Voices From The PastAll readings in this mini-series from "Voices From The Past" (copyrighted material) are used with permission from the publisher.“Voices From The Past: Puritan Devotional Readings,” edited by Richard Rushing.

Do you recognize the miracle moments God has worked in your life, those tiny events, and each moment of time that is a miracle of creation? Miracles in the mundane. Those little things mean a lot, if we will just begin to believe what we see.

In puritan Thomas Manton's day, the idea of seeking a private room in which to pray was referred to as "going into your closet" to pray (Matt. 6:6). What a great concept...talking to God from a place that is out of the ordinary flow of life traffic, hidden away so as not to be easily disturbed; even going to a place where people would not normally think to find you! As Manton says, private prayer is a necessary duty if we are to live the vital life of the grace of God EVERY DAY! As we “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17), God will enlarge our hearts (expand our compassion) and make us the successful ambassadors of salvation and the peace of Christ that God wants us to be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_MantonBuy Voices From The PastAll readings in this mini-series from "Voices From The Past" (copyrighted material) are used with permission from the publisher.“Voices From The Past: Puritan Devotional Readings,” edited by Richard Rushing.

This is the first episode, or reading, in our new twenty part mini-series, "Voices From The Past." My goal is to share with you a sample of the well-done book by the same name, and to advance the peace of God in your life in the midst of this agitated world by featuring five devotional readings on each on the four topics: the providence of God, prayer, God’s provision in our lives, and personal purification.

I’m happy to announce that I’ve been given permission by the publisher of the daily devotional book, “Voices from the Past, Volume 1,” to record twenty chosen daily readings. Special thanks to the General Manager of The Banner of Truth, John Rawlinson, for his response to my email outreach and helping make this happen. The twenty devotions will make up the mini-series, “Voices From The Past.” This episode gives you an overview on what to expect. My goal in recording this mini-series is to share with you a sample of this well-done book, and to advance the peace of God in your life in the midst of this agitated world by featuring five readings each on the four topics: the providence of God, prayer, God’s provision in our lives, and personal purification. https://banneroftruth.org/us/store/devotional-books/voices-from-the-past/“Voices From The Past: Puritan Devotional Readings,” edited by Richard Rushing.

The famous devotional series by Oswald Chambers, "My Utmost for His Highest", as it says at the top of each day's of devotion is truly the most beloved devotion of all time. There is a reason for that- Chambers had gifted insight into God and His word. The devotions for August 19 & 20 think about self-awareness versus Christ-awareness. As best as I can tell the material is copyright protected, so I feature one paragraph quote at the end. The podcast talks about some of the key bullet points that I feel address the primary cause of the massive increase in anxiety among the people of our nation and what can be done to bring relief to the hurting masses. After listening to the podcast, I encourage you to click on the YouTube link of David Dunn's official music video on his fantastic song "I Wanna Go Back". It really captures what I feel God wants me to say through this episode!
