Send us Fan Mail Psalms 1 & 2 serve as a guide for the other 148 Psalms. In this episode, we delve into Psalm 1 to see how God makes a stark, sobering comparison between the righteous and the wicked - believers and unbelievers - those who belong to Him and those who don't. It is truly eye opening! Be sure to Subscribe to and Like this Podcast so you'll never miss an episode! You can...

Send us Fan Mail We all know as Christians that we are to confess our sins to God, but the book of Hosea gives us guidance for the correct way to confess - both privately and corporately. It shows us the way of confession that best brings healing, restoration, and freedom from our sins. Be sure to Subscribe to and Like this Podcast so you'll never miss an episode!

Send us Fan Mail One thing you notice when reading through the Bible, and you get to the books of 1 & 2 Chronicles is that is repeats much of what is already recorded in 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Kings. Sometimes, it repeats narratives word for word, sometimes, though, the books of Chronicles add or omit details of the books of Samuel and Kings. You are not experiencing Deja Vu, nor is Go...

Send us Fan Mail Does God ever send a "deceiving spirit" to confound people to fulfill His purposes? The story of King Ahab and King Jehoshaphat making an alliance answers not only that question, but also the often asked question, why can't believers be yoked with unbelievers.

Send us Fan Mail Ecclesiastes 10:19 says, "Bread is made for laughter, and wine gladdens life, and money answers everything."  Is Solomon contradicting all of the other Scripture on the sin of gluttony, debauchery, and the love of money; or is there something else going on here? Of course there is!! Be sure to Subscribe to and Like this Podcast so you'll never miss an episode! You c...

Send us Fan Mail Know anyone who always seems to have a lot to say about everything? Know anyone who is more worried about what they want to say, that they barely listen to what others in the conversation are saying? Know anyone who seems to talk endlessly all the time? Know anyone who has to comment on everything on social media? Are any of these you?! The book of Proverbs has some wise words on...

Send us Fan Mail Solomon built the Temple with the materials and the plan that his father David gave to him. David delighted that his son would get the glory for carrying out all of the prep work that David had laid out, while Solomon was quick to give the glory of the Temple back to his father, David. This team effort is more than just a father and son perfectly cooperating with each other - it s...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes we all need to be told to, "Get our head on straight," especially if we are looking at unbelievers with envy, wishing we had what they had! In Psalm 73, Asaph, one of David's worship leaders and writer of several psalms, takes us through the progression of seeing what the wicked have, comparing it to our own circumstances, feeling jealousy, but then catchi...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus is God and the manifestation of the Word of God - that is 100% true. But Luke tells us that Jesus, fully Man, grew in wisdom and stature. Jesus, fully Man went to Hebrew school and learned and memorized Scripture like all of the other Jewish boys. Imagine a 6 or 7 year old Jesus reading and memorizing Psalm 22 which was all about His earthly ministry and His earthly death! J...

Send us Fan Mail When David made preparations to build a permanent Temple, he knew that would mean that the task of moving and transporting the Tabernacle would become obsolete. What did he do? He gave those Levites who had previously done that job something new to do; but he made sure that their new tasks fell within the parameters that God had given him. Is there a message in this for us? There...

Send us Fan Mail Many Christians are disappointed that after the huge victory God gave us last November, we are still fighting so much evil and corruption. The biblical writers, especially David completely understood why this is, and would tell us all, "Onward, Christian Soldiers!" There is much fighting that still needs to be done, and will always need to be done until Jesus comes back!...

Send us Fan Mail There is no shortage of Scriptures that false teachers rip out of the Bible, twist, and pervert; and 1 Samuel 24 is no exception. In this chapter, we see David having a chance to kill King Saul and move along God's plan for him to become king of Israel, but he doesn't because as he says, he will not touch God's anointed. What does this passage really mean and how ar...

Send us Fan Mail In 1 Samuel 14, we see Saul make a rash vow, putting his men under demands that didn't require, nor command. As a result, his son Jonathan's life is on the line as he unintentionally breaks this vow. The two questions arise from this passage - 1) Should Saul have followed through with his vow and killed his son, Jonathan, for breaking it? and 2) What is the lesson this p...

Send us Fan Mail Let's be honest, there are some stories of some pretty depraved people in Scripture. But perhaps none is so vile as the story of the Levite found in the book of Judges in chapters 19 - 21. What makes this story even worse, is that eleven tribes of Israel declare the twelfth tribe guilty and go to war against it based off of this one man's testimony; something the Bible p...

Send us Fan Mail Nobody likes finding themselves living in "bad times" -  Devastation in our person life, living under a corrupt government, financial hardship, physical ailments, or a myriad of other things that just make our life bad. But it's those bad times, even the worst times, that make the good times all the sweeter! And this principle is true spiritually, as well! Join us a...

Send us Fan Mail Did you ever think that people who deny the existence of God are just liars? God clearly tells us in Scripture that He makes His existence known to every living person, so they are! They are in denial and lying to themselves. Deuteronomy 29 is a great passage that intersects the sovereignty of God over salvation with the responsibility of man. Join us as we discuss! Be sure to Sub...

Send us Fan Mail Does the title of this episode immediately have the Aerosmith song playing in your head? Maybe it brings to mind scenes from the Robin Williams' movie, Mrs. Doubtfire? Both the song and the movie were meant to be culture anomalies. Sadly, though, today, rather than cross dressing being an anomaly, it's being pushed to make it an accepted norm. Well, in Deuteronomy 22:5,...

Send us Fan Mail Numbers 30 is full of commands and parameters about vows made by men and women. If a woman made a vow, and her father or husband forbade it immediately, God would release her from that vow. If, however, her husband let her make that vow initially, but later sees that it was too much for her to keep, he could take the consequences of her breaking the vow on himself and release her...

Send us Fan Mail Most of us know the story of how Moses struck the rock at Horeb and brought forth water for the Israelites. It may seem strange to us, then, that when he does almost the same thing at the rock at Meribah, God not only gets angry, but punishes him by not letting him enter the Promised Land! What was up with that?! Be sure to Subscribe to and Like this Podcast so you'll never m...

Send us Fan Mail In Leviticus 17, God tells the Israelites regarding their eating animals, "No person among you shall eat the blood." Now, Christians can rightly say that we don't have to follow these Old Testament practices anymore, but the Apostles, when writing to the Gentile Christians in Acts 15, that they didn't have to be circumcised, but they did need to abstain from ea...

Send us Fan Mail Let's be honest, there are parts in Scripture - especially in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers that can be rough to get through. All of the details of the building of the Tabernacle, the different offerings, sacrifices, and laws can seem tedious. But what if the way to really appreciate and be amazed by these passages was to do a deep dive into them? Join us as we do that with...

Send us Fan Mail In Exodus 32, the Israelites sin by worshipping and dancing before a golden calf they had their priest, Aaron, make for them. There is trend in some churches today called "prophetic dancing." Is this biblical, or are they just bringing attention to themselves so they can be worshipped. Are they like that golden calf?  For that matter, is there anything we may do in worsh...

Send us Fan Mail When Moses asked Pharaoh to let the Israelites go and worship God, not only did Pharaoh say no, he piled more work on them so they would be too distracted with work to cry out to the Lord and want to go worship Him. Satan, the world, and even our own sinful flesh will try and distract us from the things of God. It may not always be with work; it can be our family, church service,...

Send us Fan Mail We we read a few of the accounts in the Old Testament where women are treated like second-class citizens and even abused; we may be tempted to think that was God's doing. But it certainly was not!  It was evil men acting sinfully. As the end of the book of Job illustrates, in God's house, men and women are of equal worth and receive equal treatment.  Be sure to Subscribe...
