Jesus Changes Everything

I consider the importance of repentance and forgiveness in marriage, encourage us to rest in Christ's reign in the coming days of unrest, ponder the sins of Jacob, Laban and Rachel as they separate, recount the ministry we've accomplished this year and remember our call to steward God's creation.

Lisa and I conclude our series on perseverence in the face of trials. I consider the scariest thing about the promises made by both presidential candidates, Laban getting outsmarted by Jacob, the free wheeling 70s and the dreaded dangers of JARTs, plus, what is necessary for true gospel unity.

I give thanks for eight years of marriage to Lisa. I bemoan a world without reason, where affirmations need no evidence, puzzle over Rachel and Leah bartering over Jacob, see Abraham repeat an earlier sin and rejoice over the immutability of God.

Lisa and I discuss persevering through gossip. I affirm that hurricanes are controlled, puzzle over Jacob's marriage to Leah and Jesus' comment that we should let the dead bury the dead. We conclude by comparing and contrasting the Greek notion of fate, and the Biblical affirmation of God's absolute sovereignty.

Lisa and I begin our conversation on persevering in marriage. I make my argument against Pete Rose, while affirming my admiration of him, consider the parallels between Isaac's and Jacob's courtships, and Jesus securing His bride and consider how Michaelangelo got David right, and where he got him wrong.

Lisa and I discuss our call to persevere in marriage even in hardship. I consider all we don't need to consider in the face of a scandal, Jacob's meeting with God, kid's conveyances of the 70s and the foolishness of the devil.

I praise Lisa for beautifying our home, and encourage others to do the same. I consider how lies have consequences in the public square, Jacob receiving another blessing from Isaac, the consequences of Lot's failures and the devil's bargain with relativism.

Lisa and I glean lessons from another season of farming. Remembering James Earl Jones, baseball and Field of Dreams. Month of Sundays looks at Isaac and Esau after the sting. Good News reminds us of the cost of discipleship and finally, the humiliation and exaltation of Jesus.

Lisa and I discuss Sovereign Grace Fellowships new meeting place, and upcoming Dunamis events. I consider how Democratic policy points destroy democracy, the difficulty of Rebekah's and Jacob's deciet toward Isaac, how the feds over reached in the 70s and our dystopian life in a Brave New World.

mWe conclude our conversation with former astrologer Marcia Montenegro. I argue the vice-president is just a puppet, look at Sarah and Sodom, encourage prayer and more.

I continue to visit with ex-astrolger Marcia Montenegro, discussing the enneagram. I weigh in on the Olympic opening ceremonies, Esau's expensive dinner and our call to love wisdom, as God defines it.

I consider the destructive power of discouragement, and how humiltiy and gratitude put it to death. I puzzle over the "firing" of Brent Leatherwood and his reinstatement. I give a lesson on not confusing biblical history with biblical teaching, and explore Jesus taking on our informities. Finally, I remember that the age of an idea tells us little of its truth value.

I give thanks for words of encouragement. I consider the shocking aftermath of the attempt on former President Trump's life. We look at Rebekah and her unborn twins, and God's sovereignty. I remember going to the "pool" as a kid, and consider the foolishness of the devil.

Lisa and I continue our conversation with Marcia Montenegro, former astrologer, now believer warning others. I consider the shameless lying of mainstream media, the beauty of Isaac and Rebekah's first meeting, the satanic folly of relativism and the plans God has for our ministry.

Lisa and I welcome Marsha Montenegro, former astrologist to talk about Jesus. I consider the presidential debate and the Supreme's immunity decision, give thanks for Sarah celebrating God's marital gift, remember Rebekah's choice to leave home and warn about the dangers of standing.

Lisa and I continue our discussion on our plans to help churches and ministries be connected. I consider how Pride has not only become a religion, but a established one at that. We look at the fleece put out for Isaac's wife and consider how worldly theories of interpretation flow out of our own sinful ways of handling God's Word.

I encourage the use of encouraging words and encourage balance in dealing with celebrities coming to faith in Jesus. We look at Abraham sending for a bride for Isaac, Jesus teaching with authority, and the real, overlooked biblical end to history.

Lisa and I discuss our ministry to the discarded. I remind us that the climate change alarmists are knowing liars seeking control, explain why the story of Abraham buying Sarah's burial plot is in the Bible, remember how almost all fruit once had seeds and answer the question, is Christianity a religion or a relationship?

I give honor to Lisa for her faithful service to others, especially family. I try to understand why those who hated the unvaccinated have no remorse. How the ram in the thicket shows us Jesus, sharing the gospel far and wide and why even the truth we learn from conservative media may not be so healthy for our souls.

Lisa and I conclude our conversation with Doreen Virtue, expert on New Age tactics. I consider the wicked decision of the United Methodists, the command that Abraham not harm Isaac, why Abraham was commanded to circumcise his slaves and why Jesus is not a crutch for me, or anyone.

Lisa and I continue our conversation with Doreen Virtue on New Age thinking. I consider the tradition of student unrest in America, Abraham's claim that he and Isaac would return from Moriah, Jesus call to us to obey His words, building our lives on the rock, and my all too real Inner Pharisee.

Lisa and I continue our conversation with Doreen Virtue, rescued from the New Age. I call for Nuremberg trials over COVID. Month of Sundays considers God's call to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, That 70s Kid remembers cut-offs and tube socks and we offer a warning about distractions.

Lisa and I are joined by Doreen Virtue, former new age guru, rescued by the Lord. I consider the strange bedfellows joined together against Israel, Abraham's second run-in with Abimelech, seek our ministry partners and consider how easy and deadly it is to complicate the simple gospel.

Lisa and I conclude our conversation on grace in marriage. I describe my experience with angry young men. Hagar is sad and lonely, again, God renames Abram and the goodness and danger of "getting grace."

Lisa and I continue to discuss the importance of grace in marriage. I consider how the internet has weakened our communication, the birth of Isaac, Jesus' warning to those who cry out "Lord, Lord," and finally answer the question- will there be sin in heaven?
