Send us Fan Mail In this episode two kings of Judah are compared.  King Asa and King Hezekiah, both described as doing was right during their reigns.  However, Asa didn't finish that well whereas Hezekiah did.  We, as believers, must strive to finish our race well because that's what Jesus expects from us.  And He will provide the necessary things to make that happen.  All we need to do...

Send us Fan Mail In our journey with Jesus, we can trust that He will do the work in our lives day by day.  He will show the child of God how much He can be trusted.  In the Scriptures we see the trustworthiness of God and how he provides for His people.  

Send us Fan Mail  Deliverance from darkness is a part of every person's journey with Jesus.  In this interview we discuss what that looked like in the life of one man. 

Send us Fan Mail God shows His mercy to Ahab, a very wicked king, which causes Ahab to repent and avoid the immediate judgment of God.  

Send us Fan Mail The Scriptures teach us to respect those who are older and this is something our culture has lost sight of both in that we are not taught to respect older people when we are little, and old people who are degenerates make it hard to respect them.  But for believers we know what God wants from us and respecting our elders is one of them.  But the thing that we really miss is seekin...

Send us Fan Mail Peter addresses several issues in this chapter including the marriage relationship and how spouses are to treat one another.  

Send us Fan Mail The life of Peter is a good model for our understanding of what it takes to be a witness.  Peter's own confidence became a real stumbling block in his relationship with Jesus.  But through his journey, he found what it takes to be an effective witness for Jesus. 

Send us Fan Mail Every child of God is a leader in something.  We are not empowered by the Holy Spirit to simply do nothing.  We act when He tells us to.  We go where He tells us to go and we do what He tells us to do.  But godly leadership and worldly leadership have differences and as believers, understanding we are leaders in His Kingdom here and now show prompt us to seek wisdom from Him to le...

Send us Fan Mail Continuing through Peter's first letter and pursuing a deeper knowledge of God, chapter 2 addresses living our lives as "living stones" in the structure of the Kingdom of God reminding us that we are no longer people without spiritual direction so we must live in accordance with the will of God.  Submitting to the governing authorities is part of God's will for...

Send us Fan Mail Lust is something that effects a lot of people.  It's craving that which we know we should not have and it's consequences can be devastating.  We have an example of Eve and her bout with lust and the consequences but we also have a path toward victory for those who are serious about Jesus.  

Send us Fan Mail 1 Peter is a letter packed with valuable insight and instruction for the believer.  Its 5 chapters declare the glory of God through the lives of obedient believers and how they can achieve victory in this life through the power of Jesus.  

Send us Fan Mail My friend and brother in Christ and I discuss men's leadership roles in this life and more.  

Send us Fan Mail A shout out to all those listeners.  We are entering our 6th season at the Junkyard Outreach.  Thanks for listening!! 

Send us Fan Mail As believers our lives now belong to God and we live to serve Him.  Or at least that's supposed to be what is happening.  And when we are living a life that is not real exciting  or eventful, are we taking the opportunity in that season to grow and prepare for what the Lord has next?  If you are in a slow season, then prepare for whatever the Lord has next.   

Send us Fan Mail Many people in scripture experienced rejection including Jesus Himself.  Rejection is a reality in life but for many it can be crippling and really divert their lives into a pit.  But there is hope for the one who is rejected.  In Christ we will suffer many things in this world but the promise of Jesus is that He has conquered the world and we, who are serious about Him, will inhe...

Send us Fan Mail If you have questioned your value in the Kingdom because you believe you don't have what it takes or you are too old and out of touch with many things, then realize that God's plan for your life doesn't depend upon your own understanding rather on His will.  And He will give you what you need to accomplish His purposes in your life.  

Send us Fan Mail One question a believer may ask when they are just starting out on their journey with Jesus is "what do I do with all this?"  We may have a preconceived idea that following Jesus is a very complicated ordeal and the devil will certainly exploit the idea to veer us off our path.  But really what Jesus' requirements are may surprise us.  It's not that complicated...

Send us Fan Mail Being a disciple of Jesus is a commitment that requires total submission to Him.  When we are confronted with this, many skirt the issue by rationalizing their own opinions which doesn't work with Him.  So how can we have this kind of relationship with our Creator?  It's all wrapped up in being filled with the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to guide us into all truth. 

Send us Fan Mail We are created in the image of God and because of this our minds were designed to be captivated by our Lord.  Instead we become captivated by many other things in this life that compete with our relationship with the Lord.  So setting our minds on things above and allowing our spirit to become captivated by the Holy Spirit brings with it those promises in the Scriptures that aboun...

Send us Fan Mail As believers we are expected to live by faith or as it says in 2 Cor 5:7  "for we walk by faith, not by sight."  But when life gets scary we can quickly become desperate for a solution and try to obtain that solution when all we need to do is wait and God will fix it.  

Send us Fan Mail Many of us have had this experience routinely - we think we are doing good and then we do something that reveals our heart is not good.  We try to be good but to no avail it seems.  Trusting in Jesus and being open and honest with Him about our wretched hearts is the first step to victory.  

Send us Fan Mail True riches in this life come from God and includes the knowledge and wisdom of Him.  Material riches can be a blessing but can also be a trap that drags us away from the will of God into our will.  But with Jesus at our helm, we can experience the true riches of God and not have a lot of baggage attached to them. 

Send us Fan Mail Staying in the fight as a believer is a challenge especially when seasons in our lives drag on for years.  But the hope we have in eternity should spur us onto continue in the faith.  And when we are led by the Holy Spirit, even during those uneventful seasons, we can still see God's hand moving in our lives. 

Send us Fan Mail Walking in the Spirit produces spiritual light which can be seen by others.  Jesus commands us to let that light shine so all can see.  This involves obedience and a life spent serving Him.  And by doing this there are promises from God for those who are faithful.  

Send us Fan Mail As a believer we are called to sacrifice or do things without getting things in return.  This is a fundamental in the faith and is pertinent until we die.  When we learn to sacrifice we become more familiar with God's love which is sacrificial.  He gives us a lot of love but what does He ger in return?  Many times nothing or worse something negative.  This is how we learn to...
