PODCAST

It is often asked ‘How God can let this happen’ during tragic events. The answer is quite simple: He can, but He has given us over to our sins because we have rejected Him! We cannot stop ourselves from sinning even in small ways, so how can we expect the world to lay down its sin and follow God?

– John 8:1-11
– Romans 1:24

We all suffer in our life and many people want to know why. This video explains five reasons for suffering according to the Bible:

4.) Oppression
5.) Spiritual Warfare

– Luke 13
– 2 Kings 18
– 1 Peter 4
– James 5
– Job 1

The Parable about the two men who build a house is talking about two people who both appear to be highly religous and saved. Only the man who builds on the Rock is saved. Building on the rock means we are living the true Gospel as a pattern in our life. What does that mean? Today we discuss that.

-James 1

Just as God has a plan for his redeemed, Satan also has one for the world. Since Satan duplicates what God does, it is not surprising he has an unholy trinity, each person mimicking what God does in truth. This unholy trinity is rarely discussed, but will become known in the last days.

-Revelation 13
-Matthew 24:15-28

Our world has become increasingly violent and many people are left wondering why, but we have had the cause and the solution for thousands of years in the book of Hosea. Here is the answer.

Today we will look at the purpose of spiritual gifts. Some would say they are to help build the local church, but I do not hold to that idea, because our first calling is to the Church Universal and our gifts are given to us to work in the ministry we are given by God.

– Matthew

The Parable of the Lamp appears four times in three Gospels and three of the tellings are subtly different. Today we look at Matthew 5 and what the city on the hill and the lamp on the Lampstand mean.

There is an argument in Christianity about what is more important:

Doctrine
Love

The reality is that both are equally important and we must have both in the Christian life. Here, we talk about this concept from the Book of Titus

The world around us shows that God is real and that He created the world. But that Natural Revelation does not show us the kind of God He is. Today we look at Natural and Special Revelation.

The old heresy of Easy Believism spawned from a combination of ‘simple steps’ to salvation and a desire to accept people as saved even though they did not live a life consistent with Christ. The same thing is happening now as many denominations are turning away from the true Gospel because they do not want to accept that family and friends are not saved. We must stand firm in the word and love all people even if they are not saved, but preach the Gospel which is of repentance.

On today’s Daily Walk we want to talk abut what made Hezekiah such a good king despite his father being considered one of the most wicked in all history. We suggest he had some very difficult beginnings all while watching the result of a father turning away from God.

The parable of the Vineyard found in Matthew, Mark, and Luke talk about how God is going to remove the Pharisees from their position of power and give it instead to the local church. This podcast describes the parable and gives us a modern day warning.

The Bible declares that the gates of Hades will not prevail against the church. But what is the church? I content it is more than a building where crosses hang on the wall as many modern churches are no longer preaching the Word of God, nor do many of them seem to even believe the Word of God. This is just some of my collected thoughts on this topic.

Our world is becoming increasingly hostile to ideas that are not in alignment with progressive thought, and that places the Gospel on the chopping block. We are commanded to go out into the world and preach the Gospel, and it is my contention that we need to stand for free speech so we have the freedom to preach, even if that means other unpopular ideas might also be allowed into the public square. As long as words are used and not violence, we have nothing to fear, particularly us who have the truth!

We are living in the end days! We need to start living like it. As Christians in the past have lived like they were in the last days, the Spirit of God moved more than we see Him moving today. When we stop living for our desires and pleasures we find ourselves instead living for Christ. Let us remember Christ and His parables and start knowing He will soon return!

Integrity is very important in the life of a Christian, in fact, it is a core staple of the faith. We are called to follow Christ whatever it costs us, and the hypocrisy of failing to do that is a key reason young people are leaving the church.

Understanding our sin is the first step to salvation; without understanding our desperate need to be saved we gloss over what it means to lay our wrongs at the foot of the cross. This Daily Walk calls us out to clearly spot real and identifiable sin in our life as the first point to accepting our savior.

As time goes by, more celebrity pastors of church growth-philosophy churches are falling into scandals. Hybells, Driscol, and today several insiders of Harvest Bible Chapel reported that James MacDonald sought to arrange murders. All this is to bring to light that our sin will find us out, and we need to focus on the truth of God rather than being part of a celebrity church.

It is important in life to have a passion, but as people bought with the blood of Christ, our passions must seek to expand the kingdom of Christ. What does that mean in practical terms? We will talk about this on today's Daily Walk.

When we are born again we are a new creature. The old sins have passed away. Today we talk about a story of a former abortion clinic doctor in our town who was born anew but the people who picketed his former establishment could not accept his conversion. Let’s discuss this and learn what our response to sin should be.
