In this episode I will respond to a listener question "Why are women so desperate for love and Why aren't men fulfilling that need?"  There are several items to address with this question.  First, a man or a woman who have spiritual unity with God are going to be fulfilled independent of their spouse.  Second, the world today has it backwards with how God designed the relationship between a man an...

In this episode we continue the discussion looking at how God says we are to walk (Part 3 of 3).  It is different from the world.  We must be sure our walk is representative of what God says it should be.  If not, then there is a problem.  Maybe you haven't received power.  It is not about trying, it is about doing with an easy yoke.  There are also contrasts about how we are not to be walking.  I...

In this episode we will cover the description of a person.  The question will then be "Who am I?" based upon the description of this person.  There is so much partial teaching going on in the world that is robbing them of the whole truth and power of God.  Sadly, many are going to fail this question and get it wrong.  I am not going to give the answer here, provide the description and answer at th...

In this episode we will look at how God says we are to walk.  It is different from the world.  We must make sure our walk is representative of what God says it should be.  If not, then there is a problem.  Maybe you haven't received power.  It is not about trying, it is about doing with an easy yoke.  In this part 1 of 3 episode we will look at how God says we are to be walking.  There are also co...

In this episode we will continue with Part 3 by looking at the end of the book of Mathew, specifically how Jesus interacted with the crowds and the leaders of Israel.  Many people are unaware of the extent to which Jesus constantly exposed the false "church" or believers in God.  Jesus exposed their lies, their false belief, and he told them exactly who they were.  Today this would be considered o...

In this episode we will be looking at the second half of the book of Mathew, specifically how Jesus interacted with the crowds and the leaders of Israel.  Many people are unaware of the extent to which Jesus constantly exposed the false "church" or believers in God.  Jesus exposed their lies, their false belief, and he told them exactly who they were.  Today this would be considered offensive in t...

In this episode we will start by looking at the first half of the book of Mathew, specifically how Jesus interacted with the crowds and the leaders of Israel.  Many people are unaware of the extent to which Jesus constantly exposed the false "church" or believers in God.  Jesus exposed their lies, their false belief, and he told them exactly who they were.  Today this would be considered offensive...

In this episode we will look at examples where God speaks to not only Saints but also those who are still seeking to become Saints or Christians.  Many times, people think because a book in the bible starts off speaking to the Saints or Christians, that much of all that is written in that book is always speaking to the "Christians".  But this isn't the case in many instances.  Those who are truly...

In this episode we will look at the statement God makes in Ezekiel 18:4 "Behold all souls are Mine .... The soul who sins will die!"  God explains that He doesn't want anyone to die, but to live; but we must be able to become the righteous man who has received the new heart and spirit and is able to truly come into repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Passages covered: Ezekiel 3:18-21, Ch 18; ...

In this episode we will look at the question "are you free?"  Do you really understand what this statement means as God defines it?  We will look at how God defines this question.  At the time Jesus spoke about this, he was speaking to those who believed in him, but they didn't understand.  It comes down to what are you actually free from?  It goes beyond the penalty of sin, but the actual practic...

In this episode we will look at whether or not we are someone who looks in the mirror and remembers what they look like or if they immediately forget.  God uses this analogy in the book of James when describing the spiritual condition of an individual.  Sadly, most people think they are Christians, but actually God would see them as the person who deceives there own heart and has a worthless relig...

In this episode we will look at the hotly debated topic in the bible between the Jews and the Apostles regarding circumcision.  Circumcision was required by God to Abraham as part of the covenant God made with him to bless all the nations.  So why do the Jews demand it and the Gentiles say it isn't required?  Both are true when put in proper  context.  Most people simply don't understand exactly w...

In this episode we will look at the teaching where Jesus commands us to love and pray for our enemies.  What did Jesus really mean when he said this?  It seems like it would be hard to love your enemies.  What about the places in the bible where God commands not to pray for a people because He has determined to destroy them (Jeremiah 7:1-28, 11:1-16, 14:7-15:7).  As we look at God's word, we will...

In this episode we will look at a phase commonly used, however it is used many times completely out of context.  Most people use this phrase to address how they deal with the sinful thoughts that dwell within them.  When a sinful thought arises in their mind, instead of realizing it is due to the bad heart where sinful thoughts still exist thus indicating they DO NOT have a new heart, they attribu...

In this episode (3 of 3) we continue discussing the topic of "is a THOUGHT Sin?"  The answer is, it depends.  Is the thought a desire that is from YOUR heart or is it simply an observation or discussion but having nothing to do with YOUR heart?  In episode (1 of 3) we looked at the example of Jesus, where he did not sin; because it wasn't his heart.  In episode part 2 (2 of 3) we looked at how Jes...

In this episode (2 of 3) we continue discussing the topic of "is a THOUGHT Sin?"  The answer is, it depends.  Is the thought a desire that is from YOUR heart or is it simply an observation or discussion but having nothing to do with YOUR heart?  In the previous episode we looked at the example of Jesus, where he did not sin; because it wasn't his heart.  In this episode we look at how Jesus explai...

This episode is the first of 3 discussing the topic of "is a THOUGHT Sin?"  The answer is, it depends.  Is the thought a desire that is from YOUR heart or is it simply an observation or discussion but having nothing to do with YOUR heart?  In this episode we will look first at examples of where a "thought" is NOT sin.  A good example is Jesus.  In part 2 we will look at how Jesus explains when you...

In this episode we finish off the second half of Psalm 119.  We continue to see the results of someone who has been changed by God.   Passages covered:  Psalm 119:113-176;  1 John ch 1 and 2; James ch 1.

In this episode we review the first half of Psalm 119.  What we see is the result of the power of God in a person's life.  One main theme is the discussion of the results of what the word of God or Law of God does in a person.  How you might ask?  Well it starts with a person doing the following: Seeking God with all their heart Delight, meditate, keep, and walk in the commandments of God Do not w...

In this episode we will look at King David and his righteous judgements in how he ruled his kingdom.  We know David had a heart of God.  His righteous judgements are a reflection of God's ways.  See if your understanding is aligned with God's.

In this short episode we look at why God would ever testify against His people.  We will find out that He actually considers them "wicked".  Yet they take the words of God in their mouth.  Listen to the truth as God speaks!

In this episode we will look at the memorial song God commanded Israel to learn when he brought them out of Egypt.  Many are familiar with God choosing Israel as a nation for Himself.  God calls Israel His firstborn son, God redeems Israel, brings salvation to Israel.  Yet in spite of all this, God ends up forsaking the nation and extending the promise to Gentiles.  This song is a witness against...

In this episode, Sam shares his testimony by reading a part of a letter he wrote to his father to explain the change that has happened in his life.  He recounts how he was raised in a Christian home, the struggles with sin, the desire to want more of God, and how God opened his eyes to a powerful truth.  Faced with this new information, Sam was faced with a decision.  He had to choose between his...

In this episode we will look at the NT passages which demonstrate OT prophecy as being fulfilled with respect to the Gentiles having access to God.  This access is through the blood of Christ to be able to become partakers of the Holy Spirit of God.  The promise of salvation now being fulfilled as it is offered to the Gentiles.  We will also see a similar patter of God's behavior towards Israel ju...
