Send us Fan Mail Isaiah 46 tells us how physically heavy the wooden and metal idols the Israelites worshipped were. The idols we have in our life and heart, can be just as heavy physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Send us Fan Mail In Isaiah 31:1 - 9, God warns the people of Judah against seeking help from the Egyptians, instead of trusting Him to be their help. Do we do that? Do we run to other people, medicine, or social media when we have a crisis, problem, or dilemma before we go to God? Are you seeking help from the right place?  Be sure to Subscribe to and Like this Podcast so you'll never miss an...

Send us Fan Mail Scripture tells us in several places that we shouldn't envy the wicked because they will someday have to face God's judgement and wrath. But believers aren't the only ones who have to deal with jealousy. Psalm 112, among other places, tells us that the wicked will seethe with envy over believers. What encouragements does Psalm 112 give, and what is the everyday appl...

Send us Fan Mail All of us yearn for something. Maybe we yearn for our family to get straightened out; or a wayward child to return to us. Maybe we yearn for the day when we aren’t struggling to pay our bills; or maybe we yearn for family members or friends to come to Christ. These things are all good things to want, but as Psalm 84 shows us, what our souls should truly yearn for is the presence o...

Send us Fan Mail Jotham, son of King Azariah, in 2Kings 15 and 2Chronicles 27 gives us a great example of someone who humbly and diligently just does the next right thing.

Send us Fan Mail What could the King of Moab, the Clintons, and the Fight to Stay in Power possibly have in common? Well, 1 Kings 3 tells us quite a bit! Join us as we discuss the lengths the wicked will go to when they are desperate and in danger of losing their power, and how we, as Christians, should respond!

Send us Fan Mail Solomon tells us at the end of the book of Ecclesiastes, " “Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. " It is crucial that Christians make wise decisions - That's what the entire book of Proverbs is to be used for! And that old moniker, "stop, look, and listen," that we use to learn how to cross the street can also help us in m...

Send us Fan Mail Some say the Biblical book, Song of Solomon, is meant to paint a picture of the love between God and His people, while others say it's about the romantic love between a husband and wife.  But it isn’t either / or.  Nothing in Scripture is one dimensional, so passages in the Bible often have both an obvious meaning, as well as a deeper symbolic meaning; and that’s exactly what...

Send us Fan Mail In 1Kings chapter 10 and 2Chronicles chapter 9, we see the Queen of Sheba travel to visit King Solomon to see if what she has heard about the goodness of Yahweh to Solomon and the Israelites was true. What application does her belief in the goodness of God and the tough questions she asks King Solomon have for us? Be sure to Subscribe to and Like this Podcast so you'll never...

Send us Fan Mail King Solomon built a magnificent Temple for God, and took seven years to do it. BUT, 1Kings 7:1 tells us he took 13 years to build his own palace. Like Solomon, we can sometimes be so distracted by our own "stuff," that our worship and devotion to God takes a back seat. Is God getting your best?!

Send us Fan Mail When we read some of the Psalms of David, we can be a little shocked at how boldly David asks God to curse his enemies. Were these Psalms, known as imprecatory prayers appropriate for David to pray? Are they appropriate for us to pray? Do they contradict Jesus' Words to love our enemies. Join us as we look at Psalm 109! Be sure to Subscribe to and Like this Podcast so you&apo...

Send us Fan Mail In King David’s household, we see rape, murder, treason, deception, jealousy, hate, lack of accountability, lack of repentance, and a complete disregard for God and His Word. Considering that, how can David possibly say at the end of his life in 2 Samuel 23:5, that his house is right with God? And what implications does David's bold statement have for us?  Be sure to Subscrib...

Send us Fan Mail Although a man after God's own heart, and a great king, David was a pretty lousy parent. He was indulgent of his children, never held them accountable for the sinful things they did, never tried to bring them to repentance, and never even tried to bring them to faith in God.  What message does David's neglectful parenting and the consequences of that neglect send to us?...

Send us Fan Mail King David had a lot of things to celebrate in his life: He killed the 9ft giant, Goliath, he defeated tens of thousands of enemies of Israel with his mighty men, he became king over all of Israel, and was adored by his subjects. But King David's biggest celebration was reserved, not for anything having to do with him as king, but for the one true King! Join us as we join Dav...

Send us Fan Mail In 1 Samuel 22, even while David was running for his life, he took the time to bring his parents to Moab to keep them safe. Caring for our aging parents can sometimes be hard, but as David shows us, that is never a reason not to do it! Be sure to Subscribe to and Like this Podcast so you'll never miss an episode!

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we look at Ruth 1:1. The book of Ruth follows on the heels of the book of Judges; arguably the darkest period in Israel's history where, "Everyone did what was right in their own eyes." The book of Ruth is seen as a bright side in that tragic period. And it was! However, it doesn't start out that way. What does Elimelech and his family, "d...

Send us Fan Mail In Judges 6:1 - 2,  the Israelites hide out in caves and dens instead of crying out to God, repenting of their sin, and moving on. It takes them seven years before they realize this is what they needed to do. Sometimes, even as Christians who know that Jesus has granted us forgiveness of our sins, we can hide out in our own caves of guilt and shame. What does this Judges passage t...

Send us Fan Mail One of the most difficult truths for us to read in Scripture is that God sometimes, intentionally hardens hearts. Our human minds scream that this isn't fair of God to do! God is setting these people up to fail and be condemned!  But is that the truth? Join us as we delve into Joshua chapter 10 where we see God hardening the hearts of pagan kings, allowing Joshua to totally d...

Send us Fan Mail When we read the book of Deuteronomy, it may read like a checklist of things God's people are commanded to do, and things God's people are commanded not to do. But if that's all you are getting out of it, you are missing a lot! Deuteronomy is not so much a checklist for us, as it is for God - listing all of the things God does for His people. How does God's che...

Send us Fan Mail This week we are finishing up the book of Numbers and got to the story of the daughters of Zelophehad. The have no brothers, so they ask to inherit their dead father's share of the Promised Land. These women have been called heroines and glass-shatterers by some, and the first feminists and women who want to take over male roles by others. But what's the truth? Join us a...

Send us Fan Mail When we think of the book of Leviticus, we often think of the endless laws, regulations, and offerings. But God also instituted seven festivals in Leviticus that the Israelites were to celebrate together with food, fellowship, and joy! What do these festivals tell us about God? How do they point to Jesus? And what application do they have for us today? Be sure to Subscribe to and...

Send us Fan Mail Is it possible that the reason Christians don't speak up about the sexual perversion and sin we see around us is because we have bought into the lies we've been fed over the years?

Send us Fan Mail From creation, God has appointed men to be strong, good, Godly leaders of their wives, their families, and the church. The first sin committed was a result of Adam not asserting that role and instead, being passive. We saw it with Abraham and Jacob as well. And Aaron was no better in the narrative of the golden calf in Exodus 32. Throughout Scripture and up to today, we see the so...
