Bible Time with Charlie

I had the great honor of once again sitting down with my good friend, Riley Stephenson. Riley is an evangelist. His whole ministry is about reaching the lost and getting souls to Jesus one conversation at a time. He spends his time teaching, training, and equipping the Body of Christ to go out into the world and do what we are all called to do: save souls. I hope when you listen to this interview,...

Ladies and gentlemen, meet my dad, Pastor Chuck Battaglia! It was so great having my dad on for Father’s Day! We covered so much including his testimony from nightclub entertainer to full-time pastor, how he met my mom, the start of their ministry together, the importance of fatherhood, why it’s so important to speak the truth in times like these, and so much more! I hope you enjoy this episode as...

We cover so much in this episode. Today, we dive into Ephesians 1 & 2 and talk about how on the day we believed, we were marked with a seal – The Holy Spirit. There was nothing we could ever do to earn our salvation other than have faith in God. It was in that moment – the moment we believed – that we received the promised salvation in Christ Jesus. After that is when the work begins. We don’t...

Overcoming the world starts by having faith in who Jesus is, what He said, and what He did for you. Only once you fully grasp what Jesus did for you on the cross, will you truly be able to overcome the world. We overcome the world when we stop being a slave to sin. We overcome the world when we stop being a slave to fear. We overcome the world, especially, when we stop caring what other people thi...

We are called to honor God with our bodies. When we become baptized and born again, we become filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit dwells within us – within our bodies. We are no longer our own. We have the Holy Spirit living inside of us! Therefore, we must live and act as though we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. If you truly believed you had the Holy Spirit inside of you, would...

Jesus warned His disciples in Matthew 26 to “keep watch and pray” so that they would not fall into temptation. In today’s world, there is temptation all around us. If we want to stay alert and awake we must keep watch and pray. Always be on the lookout for the schemes of the devil, and make sure you are armed with the Armor of God so that when temptation comes, when worry comes, when sickness come...

It's Mother's Day weekend and I had the amazing opportunity to sit down with a very special and important guest -- my mom. My mom is awesome! She has taught me so much, and I can honestly say that she has a lot do with the person that I am today. Today we talk about the Power of Prayer (especially in regards to your children), Women Preachers, Purity, Pleading the Blood of Jesus and so much more....

Modern Christianity has us feeling like we don’t have to do anything. “Jesus did all the work, so I don’t have to do anything!” While, yes, this is true when it comes to our salvation (we can do nothing to earn it), it doesn’t mean we as Christians just sit around like a bunch of lazy bums and do nothing for the rest of our lives! God gave us all gifts, and it’s up to us to use our gifts with the...

Don't give up praying. You may be praying for something, and maybe you've been praying for a long time -- don't give up. Jesus encouraged His disciples in Luke 18 not to give up on what they were praying for. It may take days, it may take weeks, it may take months or years -- but if you pray for anything according to God's Will, it will be done, and it will be done in HIS perfect timing. The praye...

I had a great time sitting down with my friend, Micah Kunkle, to talk a little bit about his background in debate and how one can be an effective debater who stands for truth without wavering. We covered a wide range of topics in this episode including life in the womb, Christian dating, the current state of the Republican Party, Zionism, and more. Micah is a great guy and he is very smart! I hope...

Jesus's trial leading to the cross was very strange, unusual, and highly illegal. The most fascinating part about it, however, is how closely the events of Jesus's trial line up with Old Testament Prophecy, especially concerning Isaiah 52-53. On today's episode, we start with Old Testament prophecy and see how accurately it lines up with Jesus's trial before Pilate and the High Priest. As you watc...

Do not allow your house to be empty. Your body is a house— as a matter of fact, it’s the Holy Spirit’s house if you are born again, and it’s so important to fill our house with good things! Our eye is the lamp of the body, and if we allow bad things into our body, we will be full of darkness, and we give a foothold to the enemy. If we allow good things into our body, we will be filled with light a...

March 17th wasn’t always about luck, rainbows, and leprechauns — in fact it wasn’t about that at all! St. Patrick’s Day is deeply rooted in Christianity and the true story behind it should serve as a reminder for how important it is to love our enemies, pray for them, and share the gospel with everyone. St. Patrick’s Day is about being the light that DRIVES OUT the darkness.  Today we also read Ec...

Stop giving the devil a foothold. Stop giving him a reason to rob, kill, and destroy. We give the devil a foothold through continuous, unrepentant sin. Bitterness, envy, anger, lust, addiction — all of these things give the devil room to come in and cause sickness, fear, anxiety, and in some cases, even death. We need to stop giving the devil a foothold by refusing to give into our fleshly desires...

Spend Your Days Wisely  Ecclesiastes 9 Today we talked about how important it is to utilize the time we are given on earth to not only enjoy life, but to hear God’s voice and obey. One day, you won’t be here on earth anymore, and that’s why it’s so important to use our time on earth wisely and with purpose. We should be spending every day in service to the Lord, because He is the reason we are her...

There are two sides to the Israel argument: one side believes that the church has replaced Israel as far as God’s covenant with them goes, and the other side believes that God has not yet broken His covenant with Israel and that there remains a remnant of Jewish people who will be saved in the last days. In debate, both sides usually refer to scripture found in Romans 9, 10, and 11. Today, we read...

Reading: Ecclesiastes 8 Be thankful for what you have and enjoy the lot that God has given you in this life. Our days here are short compared to eternity — so enjoy your life here on this earth while keeping God in the center of it all. Spend time with your loved ones, and spend time with the Lord. Don’t be in such a hurry to get through life. Enjoy every moment, and be grateful for what the Lord...

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sophia Lorey and Shon Thornburg on today’s episode. Sophia Lorey is the Outreach Director for California Family Council and the host of the podcast “This is a Woman”. Sophia stands for truth in a world full of lies, especially regarding the war on gender. Sophia defends girls who have to deal with biological males, who identify as females, wanting to compete...

It can be very easy to fall into nostalgia and to begin thinking about all the “good times” we had in our past, before we truly gave our life to God. Solomon encourages us not to do that because it only leads to sorrow and regret and it keeps us in a state of depression — never able to move forward in life. Instead, seek wisdom by seeking the Lord and allow Him to guide each and every step of your...

Today I sit down with Shon Thornburg and Pastor Brian Buell from Love Life USA to discuss how important it is for the church to stand in the gap for the unborn. Since 2021, 1,000 babies have been saved in California as a result of the church showing up to abortion centers and praying. That’s it — not protesting, not yelling, just praying. Prayer is so much more powerful than protest. Prayer gets t...

We are only given a few days here on this earth compared to eternity. We can spend those few days constantly chasing after the next best thing, never satisfied, or we can spend those few days chasing after Jesus and encouraging others to do the same, which will keep us in a constant state of satisfaction. The choice is yours! Tune into "Morning Bible Time & Prayer" every Tuesday morning at 8:3...

The number one prayer request I receive today is “Charlie, will you pray for all the lonely people?” And my response is always, “Yes, of course.” And then I got to thinking — as born again, Spirit-filled believers, we should never be lonely, because we have Jesus living on the inside of us through His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our advocate, our comforter, our friend. When we realize that God...

Love is so much more than just words and speech, as 1 John 3:18 reminds us... true love is loving with action and in truth. Jesus loved with action and in truth. We begin our study today in 1 John 4 where it talks about how God is love, and if we really want to know how to love, we must know God. Jesus is God, and in this world we are like Jesus. So if we want to perfect our love walk, it's import...

Talk is cheap! If you can’t keep a promise, don’t make one. So many of us say we are going to do so many things and God says, “Watch your mouth.” When we tell God we are going to do something, we must do it. Whatever promise you have made to God, the time is now to do it. Don’t wait any longer!  Reading: Ecclesiastes 4-5:7 Tune in to "Morning Bible Time" every Tuesday and Thursday morning LIVE on...

People have been asking me to do a video on the importance of giving, more specifically, tithes and offerings. I’ve tried to avoid talking about this as much as possible, because to be honest, it’s uncomfortable! But, many people want to know what the Bible says about it and the Lord has placed it on my heart to talk about it. In reality, it’s selfish NOT to talk about it, especially if you know t...
