Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough…I’m just taking You-Know Who at His Word…I don’t care that You-Know-Who has 99% and I only have 1% of someone’s heart, I’ll just keep kneading their thoughts, with guilt, and shame, and condemnation…A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough…- The Devil’s Diary, Bobby Price.

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Unforgiveness in and of itself is poison. When unforgiveness is directed toward others it’s bad enough, but what about when it’s directed inward? Unforgiveness is a choice and while we think we are punishing the other person or punishing ourselves, the reality is we are usurping God’s standards and authority. It didn’t work out for Lucifer, it won’t work out for...

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Psalm 34:18 NKJV 18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as [ a ]have a contrite spirit.

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Matthew 7:24-25 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.  I realize as I get older I spent many years chasing or holding onto the familiar...

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! If you are a Christian, then you have been given the ministry of reconciliation. This means we need to be ready at any given time to  it only share our testimony but also the message of Salvation. You never know what the Holy Spirt may do though you and what obedience may mean for someone’s eternity.

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Psalm 34:18 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. I have read this verse a lot, even recited it in prayer many times and yet, even recently I would wonder why did such and such happen and why didn’t God stop this from happening?  Then I would get angry and get discouraged and stop praying. It wasn’t until recentl...

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Hey guys, I realized I transposed a couple of names at the end which I could have made a note and corrected in the notes but it still would have been heard and in the transcript so, this is the corrected version. Thanks for your patience.

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! For years the movie industry has capitalized on subjects regarding Spiritual Warfare which has left us even the Christian population somewhat desensitized and often dismissing spiritual warfare with a “get over it” attitude.  While we may not see all the special effects of movies like the Exorcist or The Conjuring franchise, demonic influence works in more subtl...

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Sundays are great, then Monday comes…but the Lord is with us just as much on Monday as He is on Sunday. As long as we remain in Him, He promises to remain in us.

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Galatians 6:7….for whatever a man soweth he shall also reap. This almost sounds like a threat but it really isn’t.  The principle is very simple. But how many times have we made choices in action and speech  that are opposite of our desired outcomes? Well…

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Yes I got that title from the song but it is true, even though Jesus didn’t say it quite like the song but the idea is there in John 16:33.  Listen for the rest of the story….

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! The current zeitgeist is darkness, uncertainty, and fear. We do not know what the next hour will bring let alone the next day. But God is still God and nothing catches Him by surprise. He was there in the beginning, He is with us now, and is already in the future. Keep your oil lamp full.

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! In my college days, if you heard something repeated during a lecture that’s a signal to  to pay attention because it’s important information that would  show up later on a quiz or exam.  In Matthew 6:25-34, that’s 9 short verses,  Jesus repeated the phrase Do Not Worry  three times. Yet we still neglect this information which is really a command. If you have tim...

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Today we celebrate the Resurrection of our living Savior and soon coming King Jesus. Colossians 3:2 instructs us to keep our minds on the things above which includes seeking God’s will for our lives while we are still on this earth. The days are getting shorter, we need to make everyone one of these days count for Christ.

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Things can look as barren as Ozark winters dead, no signs of life or or hope of being able to bounce back from what knocked you down. You are not alone in this rationale. Mary (Jesus’) mother, Mary Magdalene, and John along with the rest of the disciples thought things were pretty grim as well. Then the third day came and the, all changed.  Jesus is alive and we...

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Isaiah 40:30-31 talks about how even the youth will grow weary but those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength… Life can certainly feel like a marathon, other times it seems stagnant either way, it takes strength to get through it.  Job 17:9 also talks about how the righteous shall hold their way… Psalm 36:25 talks about the righteous not being forsa...

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Jesus Loves People, we know that and we amuse ourselves by telling those difficult people  “Jesus Loves You” and the more obnoxious and offensive they are, the more enjoyment we get.  However we forget one thing, John 23:34-35 (ESV) A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all...

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Delay hurts, not only that it causes doubt and confusion, even depression and anger toward ourselves, the situation and even to God. We know God can fix it so why didn’t He? I’ve asked this question a lot but we are not alone. Mary and Martha had the same sentiments when Lazarus died. Jesus was not unaware of their emotions and was moved with emotion as well.  G...

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! How much news is too much news? While it’s important to know what’s going on in the world around us, we must remember there is a fine line between being informed and being consumed. The news may tell you the  what, but the Bible will always tell the why.  Matthew 10:16 shows that Jesus knew what the world was like therefore instructing us to be wise as serpents...

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Submission is not a popular term in today’s society. I have to admit, I don’t like the term myself, especially when when those in authority are acting in ungodly ways. But we as Christians are instructed to submit to those in authority over us as states in Romans 13:1-7. All the while, we are not to forget that we, even the ones in authority over us are all unde...

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Jesus loves people and is kind, gracious, and compassionate.  However, Jesus also set boundaries and did not tolerate any form of evil and we should learn from His examples. What is evil? Anything  that is a threat to our relationship with Christ. We have authority over these things through Christ and it’s time we start using it. 

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! These days it’s easy to get tunnel vision and bogged down with the cares of our daily lives. We feel it’s all we can do to keep ourselves afloat and sane let alone serve others. Yet as Christians, this is what we are instructed and required to do. So how do we balance this? Take a listen for some insight and encouragement.

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Hello from sunny Southern Florida!  Just a quick mini podcast of encouragement if you’re feeling like God is nowhere to be found. He is above our feelings and circumstances, don’t lose faith!

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Pleased to meet you hope you guessed my name… The Devil Made Me Do It … Oh really now. . Sometimes we give too much credit to the demonic, sometimes not enough. This episode is an introduction into spiritual warfare, possession, and influence what it is and what it isn’t and what that means for us as Christians. Kick back and enjoy and don’t mind my singing.

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! If we are honest, we love the idea of seeing people get what what they deserve. If we are transparent, we do not like the idea that God’s patience and compassion extends to those we deem undeserving while forgetting the times we too were undeserving.  There a lot to learn about ourselves through the book of Jonah.
