Hold on to Your Heart Part 2

Season 13, Ep. 285

When Providence frowns upon us, and blasts our outward comforts, then we need to look to our heart to keep it with all diligence from expressing discontent against God, or fainting under his hand ; for troubles, though sanctified, are still troubles. Though God has reserved to himself a right of afflicting his people, he has tied up his own hands by promise never to take away his loving kindness from us. The conditions of our lives can change, but we can find the strength to diligently keep our hearts because our Father’s love does not change. God is at work constantly saving us from those things in life that have ruined thousands of souls! Rather than see the trials of life under the hand of God as punishment, see them as the protection of God at work keeping our Heart. It can be encouraging to our hearts under the weight of adversity, to consider that God, by such humbling providences may be accomplishing that for which we have long prayed and waited. We can keep our hearts when we see the design of God performing his perfecting work in us through our troubles!

This episode is an adaption of A Treatise on Keeping The Heart by John Flavel (public domain).

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...
