2Days Denarius

On Thursday, May 2, 2024, will be our nation's annual National Day of Prayer recognition. Annual days set aside for prayer in our nation has a rich history dating back to the Puritans and George Washington, who called for days of national prayer in 1775 and 1779. We are a nation in distress and crises in many ways at this time. These extend to sins as a nation and distress that is seen not on...

Yes with each new year comes great opportunity to reflect and reassess our growth in the faith. Certainly 2024 is no different. This new podcast is dedicated to believers who desire to leverage and up their spiritual walk this coming year. Our walk of faith, both where we stand and where we hope to grow, are critical to lend increased attention to this year. This world is more uncertain in more wa...

Merry Christmas to my listeners and all who take time to listen to the 2Days Denarius podcast channel! It's been over six months since the last 2DaysD podcast and the reasons for the break are explained in the podcast. However, there has been activity by the ministry on the YouTube channel of 2DaysD, which will be discussed in this episode. In addition, let's take time to cover a few ver...

The annual recognition of the National Day of Prayer is Thursday, May 4, 2023. This episode of 2Days Denarius, as in the previous two years, is devoted to giving prayer on behalf of our great nation. This year, it's being done differently than the prior two as it gives those who listen an opportunity to join in and pray from their own hearts over the seven different prayer topics it covers. T...

On April 18, 2023, one of the great evangelical preachers of our generation passed on to our heavenly home. Dr. Charles Stanley was 90 years old and left behind an amazingly fruitful ministry covering over 68 years. Not only did he serve at First Baptist Church of Atlanta as its pastor for 49 years, he also headed In Touch Ministries, that was viewed and listened to around the world since 1972. Wh...

This new episode of 2Days Denarius takes up where the previous podcast on this topic of the Asbury Revival and Jesus Revolution movie left off. It provides a respectful and closer examination of the direction of the Asbury Revival and the fruits of the Jesus Movement from the mid 1960s-1970s. As Scripture states in 1 John 4:1, it is appropriate that we "test the spirits" of these events...

Whether coincidence or Providence, it has to be wondered how the Asbury Revival and the release of the Jesus Revolution movie occurred in such near proximity. But both of these have been out in front of us enough now to take a closer examination of the authenticity and effect they may be having on the religious and secular world around us. The book of 1 John 4:1 commands "...do not believe ev...

On February 8, 2023, a significant spontaneous appearance of sudden spiritual fervor arose among the students attending Chapel services at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. This took place immediately after one among the school staff preached a short sermon on the subject how Christians should love Christ and then show this love toward others. Students did not leave the Chapel but immediatel...

As we have welcomed 2023, it serves as a good opportunity to reassess many areas of our lives. For the Christian, certainly the most important examination we can devote our time to is that of creating new spiritual goals for this new year. This first episode of 2023 for 2Days Denarius covers the topics of Bible reading, Prayer, Fellowship, and Stewardship to aid Christians in planning for spiritua...

This episode of 2Days Denarius has two parts. The early section will present some good news regarding channel analytics for 2022. The channel grew not only in the US, but reached many other countries as well. This ministry is always thankful for the faithful followers who invest time and prayer into this channel. The second section will discuss the recent trend of many evangelical churches plannin...

Even with the challenges many have faced, along with our nation, we still have much to be thankful for. This new podcast by 2Days Denarius will share three prayers that invidviduals and/or families may use prior to Holiday meals. The first prayer is of historical significance as it comes from the Thanksgiving proclamation by President John F. Kennedy that was given a few weeks before his assassina...

This episode is a rebroadcast of 2Days Denarius's episode on the 38th anniversary of the tragic passing of the great contemporary Christian music artist and evangelist, Keith Green. Many Christians either today or who listened to both his music and messages were greatly impacted by his commitment, and often, the conviction that came from the words he spoke. His music and voice is still heard...

In consideration of the seeming ineffectiveness of this generation of Evangelical Christians to make a significant impact for Christ on this nation and in world missions (only 3% of new missionaries attempt to go to parts of the world that have never heard the gospel), this episode of 2Days Denarius examines the cause of this problem as a manifest lack of true commitment to prayer by the church an...

As Paul warned Timothy that in the end times, perilous days would come (2 Tim. 3:1). Regarding faith departure and failures in biblical knowledge we now appear to see, not only are people who attend church lacking a biblical worldview, but a major portion of ministers in this country suffering from the same malady. This episode of the 2Days Denarius focuses on a religious study produced by George...

This is the third annual prayer podcast for the National Day of Prayer on the 2Days Denarius podcast channel. It is vital in our times for Christians to either come together or individually seek God on behalf of our nation and the church. The National Day of Prayer as we know today was set for by proclamation in 1983 by President Ronald Reagan. Nationally, it has its roots as declared by George Wa...

This episode of 2Days Denarius is the conclusion of the three-part Divine and Supernatural Light series. This phrase was coined by Jonathan Edwards as a description of salvation in a sermon he preached in the 1730s that demonstrated salvation to be a supernatural work of God with no additives. Edwards's experience was much like many of the evangelical conversions in his time, that included, s...

The first part of the Salvation Series dealt with man's sin problem and need of salvation from a source outside himself. Though man's spirit and will may be strong, it cannot open its own door to salvation or control its own destiny in the afterlife. That is because of the sin problem that plagues all mankind, stemming from Adam's sin in Genesis 3.   This new podcast dives into how...

In a short period of time, the world has become a very unsettled place. With war in Ukraine and Russia seemingly showing no signs of slowing or stopping in intensity, perhaps possibly even moving beyond Ukraine soon, it's time for Christians to not only pray for this situation, but to check our own spiritual wellbeing as we see the Day of the Lord approaching. This episode of 2Days Denarius f...

Welcome to Part 2 of the Salvation Series! The last episode focused on our sin problem and separation from God outside of a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. The Word of God is clear that all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Rom. 6:23). Given that, it's also clear that there had to be a remedy, and one outside of ourselves, to have our relationship with God restored once...

In this age of pride, arrogance, and narcissism, man's long war and rebellion against God continues. It seems in our age that the lost seem to hold on to their sin as a badge of honor. Yet, God's Word still declares, "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Rom. 3:23 Sin has ultimate consequences in eternal separation from God that comes through rejection of...

In line with emphasis on renewing our commitment to spiritual growth in 2022, there aren't many better topics to cover than how we can make sound spiritual decisions that enhance our spiritual walk and leave no doubt that we are following God's will for our lives. This episode of 2Days Denarius takes a close look at the events of Genesis 13 between Abram and his nephew Lot. What took pla...

In this first episode of 2Days Denarius for the New Year, we will look at how to plan for spiritual growth, giver greater practice of the spiritual disciplines, develop the theme of Revival for 2022, and give a prayer for this new year. We will also look at Solomon's prayer of dedication in 2 Chronicles 6 as it develops a foundation and pattern for revival in Scripture and our world today. Ou...

2021 brought many exciting new opportunities for the 2DaysD channel. Though most of the posting of 2DaysD took place on the YouTube channel in 2021, there was still some good news from the analytics from the podcast site. This podcasts reviews both the podcast and YouTube venues of 2Days Denarius, which is beginning to see true measurable and steady grow since the middle part of the year. Take a l...

Nun Danket Alle God are the first four words of the great hymn we know as "Now Thank We All Our God." This hymn has an amazing story behind it, as it was born out of serious trial and peril during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). The author of the hymn, clergyman Martin Rinckart found himself to be the only minister left in Eilenburg, Saxony (Germany) to serve thousands of people enduri...

On July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut, Jonathan Edwards preached what become the most famous sermon in American history and keyed the the revivals of the First Great Awakening (1741-1760). This episode of 2Days Denarius looks back at this event, along with this history behind it, what was so impacting about the imagery Edwards employed in the sermon, and gives a glance at Edwards's times, l...
