Happy! Happy! Happy!

Season 10, Ep. 214

The thought of delight in religion is so strange to most people, that no two words in their language stand further apart than "holiness" and "delight." But, believers who know Christ understand that delight and faith are so beautifully united. Those of us who love God with all our hearts, find that his ways are ways of pleasantness, and all his paths are peace. Psalm 37:4 says to “Take delight in the Lord.“ The instruction of these words to some must seem very surprising and odd, but to us who are sincere believers it is only the reinforcement of a recognized truth. The life of the believer is described as a delight in God because it is a wonderful fact that true religion overflows with happiness and joy. Can you look back over your life and testify that your life has been a delight in the Lord? Psalm 37 is 40 verses long and an extremely powerful encouragement to us on how and why we should find delight in the Lord in the midst of these trying times. To be clear, in the podcast I talk about a people group I had the privilege to serve who were polytheistic in their religion. The Christian Bible is clear in its teaching that there is only ONE God. Polytheism is the construct of fallen man.

Psalm 37

  • 407. Lead Us Not Into Temptatiion

    08:13
    During these trying days, we do best to evaluate our walk with Jesus Christ and focus our mind on Him. To enjoy the full benefits of His good pleasure, we should do as he told us to do, and ask Our Father to "lead us not into temptation, but to deliver us from evil." As individuals on the planet, walking among power brokers who have the ability to cause us great harm, one thing we can do and excel in is to avoid sin and honor Jesus with our obedience that makes Him happy and pays eternal dividends.

  • 406. Temptation and Vigilance

    20:45
    In the midst of these challenging days, we must stay focused on the basics and insure that we are walking in Godliness with regards to temptation. This mini-series is based on the writings of puritan John Owens, who lived in the 1600s, which are in the public domain. His writings are powerful and full of thought provoking and spiritually inspiring words. Thank God for the development of the printing press! These podcast are born out of my own quiet times with the Lords.

  • 405. Fear No Danger!

    06:21
    Psalm 23 continually soothes our weary and fearful souls. Today is a great day to revisit the power of God that is experienced in knowing Jesus as your Good Shepherd. The key verse for this episode is verse 4, "Even though I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and staff-they comfort me." As the day of Christ's returns draws near we must prepare our hearts and minds to respond to the turmoil on this sad planet with the success of a stable, humble, happy, and redeemed heart. Only with Jesus as YOUR Good Shepherd will you make it through the shadow time successfully!DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.
