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.

Reality Check: Satan Does Hinder Us!

Season 11, Ep. 229

1 Thessalonians 2:17-18 We need a healthy reality check and pause for a moment to remember that…Since the first hour in which goodness came into conflict with evil, it has never ceased to be true in spiritual experience, that Satan hinders us.But, we will determine to not be alarmed because Satan hinders us, for it is a proof that we are on the Lord's side, and are doing the Lord's work, and in his strength we shall win the victory, and triumph over our adversary.InglenookGreene & Greene Inglenooks"Other Things with...

Rarely Recognized Facets of God’s Ways

Season 11, Ep. 228

There are some truths about rarely recognized facets of God’s ways that are fundamental to knowing completely the Peace of Christ in our lives. Truths that every Christian should know and what we should do about it. Do we really believe that Jesus Christ, through the power of his Holy Spirit, can instruct people in the things he wants them to know, be it conviction of sin, call to salvation, life transformation, or any other thing? When we stop trying to invoke amateur providence...to be God in other people's lives, and let GOD be GOD, and we starting walking in obedience to the peculiar calling of God on OUR lives, peace ensues. Here are three rarely recognized facets of God's ways, and what we are to do about them!"Other Things with...
