Bible Time with Charlie

It can be very tempting to go back to your old lifestyle, especially once you've been born again. It's exactly what the devil wants you to do. I want to encourage you today to stand firm and let nothing move you! Don't let past sins, pleasures, people, or addictions keep you from all that God has in store for your future. Looking back at your past can destroy you... don't let it happen! Don't look...

So many of us often wonder why we are here on this earth. We wonder why we were made and what our purpose is. In order to find out why you're here, you have to know who you are, and who you are is a child of God if in fact you've made Jesus the Lord of your life. As children of God, we should be doing everything we can while we're here on this earth to spread the Word of God to other people who ma...

It can be very easy these days to allow your eyes to fall upon darkness. Social media has made it so you can access sin with the click of a button! By allowing our eyes to watch things we shouldn't watch, we allow darkness to enter our hearts. Matthew 6:22-23 says, "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, you...

When Jesus walked this earth, He loved people so much that He was willing to tell them the truth, even if it was tough. Today, many people believe they are loving people by being nice to them and turning a blind eye to their sin, however this isn't love at all. 1 Corinthians 13:6 says that "love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth." If we truly loved people, we would be telling them...

In today's episode, we dive into Ephesians 6 in order to truly understand the full meaning behind the Armor of God, and why it's so important for us as believers to wear it fully each and every day. Ephesians 6:13 says, "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground..." We are living in an evil world with evil trying to come at us...

God uses some great sinners to accomplish His great plan. Never think you're too bad to be used by God! All throughout history, God has used the worst sinners - murderers, drunks, adulterers, criminals - in order to fulfill His divine purpose, and guess what? God can use you too, no matter what you may have done or who you were in the past. Anyone can change! Including you. Never let your past hol...

There are so many distractions today that are taking our focus away from God and towards the world. Everything we see today on the news and on social media proves that we are living in terrible times, however, do not let these things get in the way of your faith in God! In the book of Matthew, Peter has great courage when he steps out of the boat and begins to walk on the water towards Jesus in th...

In days like today, it is SO important for people to understand the covenant that God has made with them through the Blood of Jesus. The best way to remind yourself of that covenant is through communion. Jesus says in John 6:53, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." In this episode, we cover common questions that people ha...

Gossip kills, and yet it can be so easy to engage in. We hear it at work, we hear at school, we hear it at church, and we see it all over the internet. This should not be. God HATES gossip - so much so that it is mentioned over 200 times in the Bible. In today's episode, we talk about the dangers of gossip and how participating in it will not only hurt others, but will ultimately end up hurting yo...

Many people these days, especially the younger generation, LACK integrity! What is integrity? Integrity is showing up. Integrity is keeping your promises. Integrity is having strong moral principles. Integrity is a very important thing, not only when it comes to each other, but when it comes to God. In today's episode, we talk about how integrity is very much needed in the Body of Christ, especial...

If you want God to forgive your sins, then you MUST forgive those who have sinned against you. It seems harsh, but it's the truth, and you can find it in Matthew 6:15 as well as other places in the Bible. So many of us walk around this earth sick, depressed, confused, anxious... and so much of that is caused by the lack of forgiveness and the lack of love. In today's episode, we talk about the imp...

It is very important to know how to identify Satan and his attacks against us. If we can identify him, we can easily stop his flaming arrows of sickness, temptation, and fear from even coming near us. In today's episode, we talk about everything you need to know in order to come out of every battle victorious! Put on the full armor of God today and everyday and STAND FIRM. Know your authority and...

People often step into the New Year expecting their lives to magically change, however, I've got some news for you... If you don't change, your life will most certainly not change. I encourage you this year that if you make a commitment to change -- whether it be changing your diet, changing your career, changing your attitude, changing your relationship with God -- really commit to that choice an...

It's the most wonderful time of the year: Christmas. Christmas is a time to celebrate the Anointed One! As families gather around the Christmas Tree and tell their children stories about good Ol' St. Nick, believers everywhere should be acknowledging the true reason for the season... Jesus. Today, we dive into Old Testament prophecy concerning the Messiah and how it was fulfilled in the New Testam...

God has placed into each and every single one of our hearts a DREAM and a VISION that is supposed to ultimately glorify Him. I'm here to tell you today that your dream can come TRUE if you would just follow God's lead! In the book of Genesis, Joseph had a dream, and even when all the odds were against him, his dream still came true because he faithfully served the Lord. I encourage you today to ke...

Christians these days are committing idolatry without even realizing it. Just like the Israelites turned their back on God and turned towards false idols, Christians today turn from God and put their faith in other things such as New Age practices involving psychics, tarot cards, witchcraft, and myths... and they think it's harmless. Catholics pray to the Blessed Mother and put their faith in cand...

Jesus said, "as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man" (Matthew 24:37), and let me tell you folks -- we are living in the days of Noah. This world has never been so wicked, so twisted, as it is today, and we see it all over the place. It's almost impossible NOT to see it. From the government, to entertainment, to the educational system, and even to the church --...

We are living in a time where people will HATE you just for being a Christian -- and especially a Christian who tells the Truth. The Truth isn't very popular these days... a lot of churches don't even preach it in fear they will lose attendance and offerings. The truth is, we need to stop being afraid of people and how they may feel about us. Jesus straight up tells us in John chapter 15 that the...

In a world filled with lies, confusion, and deception, it can be very hard to figure out who to trust. The truth is, if we stop trusting in people and start trusting in God, things will begin to make a lot more sense. Romans 3:4 says, "Let God be true, and every human being a liar." We have to be very careful who we are putting our trust in -- whether it be our friends, teachers, leaders, spouse,...

Too often we hear Christians and Non-Christians ask the question, "why does God allow bad things to happen?" We may never know why certain things happen in our lives -- it could be to teach us, it could be to save us, and it could be because we let it happen without even realizing it. Today, we dive into a few reasons as to why bad things could be allowed to happen in your life, and how you could...

God preserves those, He PROTECTS those, who are true to Him. We are living in a time where we don't know what will happen when we walk out of the house in the morning, and that is why it is VERY IMPORTANT in times like these to know your rights as a Christian! It is important to know and understand that GOD WILL PROTECT YOU. Today, we dive into some key scripture that I encourage everyone to read...

Halloween stems from a pagan holiday called Samhain, a day where unbelievers gathered together to summon the "Otherworld". During this celebration, pagans would offer up human sacrifices to their gods and drink the blood of babies. Many of the activities we partake in on Halloween -- such as pumpkin carvings, costumes, trick-or-treating -- are all emulations of how these pagans celebrated in the p...

It's very important to make sure you're hanging around the right crowd! The old saying is true... You are who your friends are. If you're hanging around the wrong people, chances are, you'll become like them. If you're hanging around the right people, chances are, you'll become like them. Hang around the right people and stay on the right path! Today, we talk about Samson and how he was doing real...

You'll hear many people say that miracles don't happen today. You'll hear them say that God is no longer "in the miracle business". These things couldn't be farther from the truth. God WANTS us to receive our healing TODAY! He gave us His Word so that we can be healed, and He sent His Son to die FOR US so that we could be healed. Jesus healed the sick, and in 1 John 4:17 it says, "as He is, so are...

It's Harvest time and God WANTS to bless you! So many of us wonder if we are worthy to receive all that God has in store for us; all that HE has promised in His Word. The answer is: yes, we are worthy to receive everything He has for us and more! All we have to do is fully obey HIM and do our best to stay on the path that He has for us. Even if you've strayed off of His path, like the prodigal son...
