gwot.rocks - God, the World, & Other Things!
Creation- Fall & Redemption.
Season 16, Ep. 347
•
Man is created and placed by God into the idyllic home in the Garden of Eden. He was in perfect communion with both God and the natural world. The story takes a dramatic turn of disaster with the introduction of temptation and willful disobedience against the clear command of God that we call THE FALL. Eve was deceived into sinning, but Adam, who was standing next to her as she sinned, took the fruit from Eve and went head long into direct rebellion against God's command. That is why sin came into the world through Adam and not Eve. The consequences of his rebellion was catastrophic for all humans who are born since his first sin. Against this backdrop of disaster, God shows His powerful love by weaving the story of redemption, salvation, restoration, and re-creation, which comes to ultimate fulfillment at the end of the age. This is an important truth that ALL PEOPLE need to know. One night I sat in my backyard with a friend I had led to salvation in Christ. I was shocked to find out he did not believe the Bible account of creation and the fall found in the book of Genesis. I told him that the Bible story is true, how can he deny it? He responded, "No one was there when it happened, how can we know this?" I told him we have the story handed to us by Moses. He said Moses wasn't alive then. I said that the whole thing rides on the truth that there IS A GOD. If God is the creator of the world, and spoke the world into existence, then surely HE has the ability to reveal the historic account to one of HIS creation!

523. The Man Behind the Prayer: The Untold Story of E.M. Bounds
07:06||Season 25, Ep. 523The Man Behind the Prayer: E.M. Bounds’ Legacy In this episode of gwot.rocks: God, the World, and Other Things, we spotlight Edward McKendree Bounds—attorney, Confederate chaplain, and prayer warrior. Most people know Bounds through his classic books on prayer like Power Through Prayer, but few know the crucible that forged those convictions.In this episode, we’ll explore:How Bounds' legal mind and spiritual heart came togetherHis role in the Civil War and what it cost himWhy his theology of prayer still matters todayHow you can build a deeper prayer life, starting nowKey Verse: “Now he told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not give up.” – Luke 18:1 (CSB)Your Challenge: This week, carve out 30 extra minutes in the morning—just for prayer. Don’t rush it. Bring your whole heart. Ask God to awaken something deeper in you. Like E.M. Bounds, you might find that suffering, discipline, and communion with God leave behind a legacy that outlives you.*Clarification on the Battle of Franklin- the battle along with the Battle of Nashville was some of the most severe fighting in the civil war. People hear a lot about Gettysburg , the Battle of Bull Run, and others, but the fighting in Tennessee was sad and deadly.DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.

522. Beyond the Numbers… The Heart of Discipleship
07:02||Season 25, Ep. 522My friend, when you take your eyes off of yourself, and place them on Jesus and the people He loves, and give up you fear of failure on being successful in leading people to a transformed life in salvation through Jesus Christ, based on my life experience, you will open your mouth more, share the Gospel with strangers you’ve never met, and see more results in people praying to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, be cause you got on the right side of the equation. When you walk in faithfulness to Jesus’s words and commands, the pressure to perform is lifted from your shoulders and placed on His. This episode teaches you how to get beyond the numbers and into the heart of discipleship. DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.

05:38||Season 24, Ep. 521When God surprises you with unexpected blessings, you should not merely enjoy them—you should crown Him afresh with your praise. Spurgeon called these “crowning mercies.” If He has crowned you, should you not crown Him again with the jewels of your gratitude?
