Bryce Bible Podcast

Why should we keep the Law, and know it well? Because it is the illumination for our feet to walk in the right way, and by it we know where to go.

We glory in tribulations and trials because we KNOW and have EXPERIENCED that tribulations work patience, patience works experience, experience works hope, and hope does not make us ashamed! Because He will always get us through whatever trials and suffering we have to endure. When things get difficult, our experience of what is happening or of who God seems to be in that moment may change, but Go...

Our call is to be faithful in ALL things, to steward well the little and big things, the temporal and the eternal. We prove who we are through our actions: let's be the type of people who build ourselves into better followers of Christ, one small decision at a time.

Look at Romans 6 as your guide to life. Put yourself in the shoes of the person that Paul writes about, and see yourself in the light that God has placed you now that you are a new creation as a believer! Our call is simple: Reckon yourself to be dead indeed unto sin, and alive to Christ. Live seeking to be controlled by Him, and not the flesh - for we have spent enough time in the old ways. The p...

1 Peter is a book all about our call to live as our Creator did. Be ye holy, even as I am holy, He says! We are called not to FASHION ourselves according to the former lusts of our ignorance, but what does this mean? How can we live in a way that honors the Lord and leads to our satisfaction and peacefulness? “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace th...

Beatitude means supreme blessedness. Jesus outlines the ways we can be supremely blessed in Him, they are so beautiful to see—because He came here for the broke, the lost, the hurting, the confused—just because He is in the business of fixing lost people. Matthew 5:1-12: 1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his m...

Our heart is deceitful, and desperately wicked above all things - and yet we follow it. We inflict more pain and sorrow on ourselves through the sins we commit than anyone else in our lives can do - and we continue on in our wicked ways. BE YE CHANGED! This is Jesus' call to us! "Be ye perfect, even as I am perfect," He says to us. This is not superficial eyewash, as C.S. Lewis poin...

Run to Jesus and find shelter! He is the Friend who sticks closer than a brother.

"To him who knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." Live rightly, and have peace with the Lord. Live for your own intentions, and deal with eternal turmoil.

In the darkness, lean on Him. He is the only unmovable object, even when everything around us is completely dark.

Comparing characteristics of the Blessed Man who prospers, and the Ungodly Man who is blown away like the chaff.

The Israelites refused to hearken to the voice of the Lord, and it cost them 70 years in captivity. Will we listen to the Lord, and walk in the ways we are called to walk, or will we live our lives in spiritual and mental captivity?

Will we seek the Lord? Or will we turn to our own ways and be destroyed by the weight of who He is? Man wasn't made to walk this life alone. When we do, we open ourselves up to a world of struggling and pain. When we follow Him, we dwell safely, and are quiet from the fear of evil.

Why do the wicked prevail? Why are there hard times? Habakkuk asks these questions and more in his short book. The Lord answers, and His answers are powerful. He gives us the feet of a deer to walk upon high places, where we could otherwise never walk. His Grace is sufficient!

THERE IS A BETTER WAY! Than the ways we have been trying to walk on our own our whole lives. In Him is fullness of Joy. We don't have to make our own way, or manufacture our own future, because He has done it for us. All we have to do is live in this moment, in the gift He has given us, as He would live—and we will be alright.

Jesus invites the weary to lay down the burden of their sin in order to receive true rest and true life in Him. Weariness is the human experience of looking at our lives in an honest and sober way and realizing that they are not what we want them to be, and not what we hoped they would be. What do we do then when we are this weary, and burdened? We need rest. What makes Jesus' invitation to r...

We serve a good God who loves us enough to give us good and beautiful gifts here, in this life! I think often we can forget this, and get too focused on the world to come—so much so that we forget the beauty of the world right here, right now, that Jesus has given us to enjoy! “There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his...

Should we "sin more that Grace may abound?" Should we follow after "great swelling words of Vanity" so that we might find the final solution to the gnawing hole in our existence? Or should we use the Word of God as a guide for life, and in it find the cure and solution to the problem man has always had—finding the meaning to life? We are given this moment to live in. It is a be...

One year of Bryce Bible Podcast! It's been a blessing getting to do this. Let's think about this: we have a God and Father who formed us, chose us, redeems us, and CALLS US BY OUR NAME! We are inherently valuable to Him because He has made us to be His children. In Him only will we ever find the solution to the hole in our hearts. We are perfectly known and LOVED by Jesus, the Creator of...

A MERRY HEART IS GOOD MEDICINE. What does this mean? Is it just a wishful thought or a word about people who are happy, or is it a constant reminder of the mindset we should embrace in every moment of our lives? "You're not where you wanted to be. You feel like you're supposed to be somewhere else. Say you could snap your fingers and be wherever you wanted to be. I bet you'd st...

“There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬ “Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor d...

The way to live, thrive, and prosper: walk on the highway of the upright! Read the Bible and learn how to live. God's got us covered, all we have to do is listen to His voice telling us where and how to walk.

God created us all to be fulfilled by Him, in so many unique ways. These are some thoughts I have on our place in this world—we seem to make sense of this world more, with everyone's uniqueness, when we embrace the different ways God has made beauty to be.

Wisdom for everyday life is in the book of Proverbs. We can learn how to treat people, how to speak, and how to live. Will we listen to the "reproof of life?"

Hiraeth: A deep, inborn sense of yearning for a home, a feeling, a place, or a person that is beyond this plane of existence. We have this yearning in our hearts—God has set eternity in the heart of man (Ecc. 3:11.) We know there is more for us, and I find it comforting to remember that there is.  "The new [Narnia] was a deeper country: every rock and flower and blade of grass looked as if it...
