Moment of Truth

Send us Fan Mail Christmas brings a simple question into view: What do you believe and does your faith show up in how you live? Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Christmas forces us to look at that. Do you trust what God says, or do you settle into the season without thinking about what it all means? Not what you learned as a kid....

Send us Fan Mail What does your life reveal about what you believe? James 2 makes a simple point: faith that never moves isn’t faith. It’s talk. So, ask yourself: when God puts something in front of you, do you act on it? Do your choices confirm the convictions you claim? And if someone looked at how you handled responsibility this week, would they see faith at work? In this week’s “Moment of Trut...

Send us Fan Mail Where do you draw the line? In 1 Corinthians 5 , Paul warns believers not to withdraw from the world—but not to blend in with it either.

In this episode, Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) exposes h...

Send us Fan Mail Who’s really in command of your life? Psalm 144:15 says, “Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.” But this isn’t about feelings—it’s about allegiance.

In this “Moment of Truth” from the weekly radio show “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” Colonel Ri...

Send us Fan Mail “When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.” (1 Corinthians 13:11 NIV) Paul wasn’t talking about age—he was talking about growing up in Christ. Faith that stays childish cannot withstand the pressures of today’s world. To stand firm in Christ, you must put away shallow thinking, selfish reasoning, and spiritual immaturity. Real men of God grow up in their faith—ch...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 12:9 commands us: Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Send us Fan Mail You were built by God for a mission. Ephesians 2:10 says you are His handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works prepared in advance.

Mendelow (Ret) calls Christian men to step into the purpose God design...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus warned in Matthew 7:6: “Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.” Look around—what does this world really reward? Not righteousness, humility, or brotherly love. Instead, it rewards that which is not of God, leaving men enslaved to anger, sin, and lies. It keeps us distracted, worn down, and...

Send us Fan Mail If you want more of God, you have to make room for Him. That means rejecting the lies of the world and replacing them with the Truth of God’s Word.

Send us Fan Mail You say you want more of God. But are your choices proving it? Jesus said, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much” (Luke 16:10).

Are you living in a way that draws you closer to Him and prepares you for greater respon...

Send us Fan Mail What if the next step in your faith isn’t bigger—but smaller? Last week’s “Moment of Truth” called us to disruptive faith. This week, Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) takes it further—with a simple verse that reorders everything: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” —John 3:30 In a world chasing recognition, Scripture points to reduction. Less of us. More of Him. Could it be...
