Should religion compete with modern recreation and entertainment options? I say, "No, definitely not." In this episode I explain why worship that pleases God is boring, but not for those that are seeking God. There is a bit of a paradox here, but by the end you will understand God's goal.

When you have done something right, give yourself a pat on the back. It is not wrong to approve yourself when you have done something right. You can freely celebrate those moments. The dirt we are looking for is the dirt of banking on emotions. We want to protect ourselves from the false idea of “If I feel right, I must be right.” Lack of training, bad training, failure to understand God’s word, can lead some people to feel they are right with God when in fact, they are not right with God, but w...

Serious Christians dig into the Bible. They want bible answers. They want to get as close to Jesus as possible. Thus, they embrace the narrow way. They don’t whine and cry about it being narrow, but rather learn to navigate it with joyful zeal. Of course, the straight and narrow way doesn’t appeal to some people, so in their attempt to make the narrow way broad, wide, comfortable, and easy, they dismiss challenges to their liberal approach by saying, “That’s just your interpretation.” This can b...

Jesus is the goal. He is the target. The Bible is the map, the instruction manual. Book, chapter, and verse Christianity aims to duplicate the original Christianity of 2000 years ago, today. It is an exciting idea. It is a doable idea. You can experience it, too.

Warning: This podcast takes a few shots at lazy males. False prophets tickling ears are nothing new. They’ve been around since the first century. There is always a line of eager people happy to follow. The problem is that if the blind lead the blind they both fall into the ditch. You don’t want to have a fun time just to end up in the ditch. Better to lean into the challenges and enter the joys of heaven than listen to false teachers....

Don't muddle through life. Don't merely survive today to drudge through tomorrow. God's design for life is so much more than what the modern American life offers. God is awesome. He did not hide the secrets of a great life from us. He actually put them in a book and gave the book to us. There are an estimated 7 billion copies of this book in print. The challenge is not lack of availability. The challenge is that too many people want to tell God how to be God. Proverbs 3:5 flips the self-centered...

God wants you to have peace. Christianity is a discipline of peace. It may sound odd at first, but there are rules that govern the depth of peace we experience. A peaceful marriage is possible.

Waking the dead is one of the greatest joys of the practicing Christian. It is an exciting change to witness, seeing the dead come back to life. It brings power into lives that had crumbled into graveyard dust. Waking the dead is not just for the second coming of Jesus. Waking the dead is for today. It is a source of wonderful delight if you can wrap your mind around the power of the Bible. Follow on Facebook at: Clarence W.

It is not a matter of God desiring or not desiring to give. Sadly, too many people think of God as a stingy king reluctant to give blessings.

In this podcast we open up perhaps the number one way to open yourself up to received blessings from God. If you have a spiritual mindset, you are going to love this podcast.

Believe is a verb. Christians that excel are people of action. They get up and move against evil forces. Diligently seeking God is the motivation of those that find great spiritual treasures, but you can be one of those people. It's a choice. Dreaming about success is a joy. Dreaming is part of the process, but the rewards are not in the dreaming. The rewards belong to those that have courage to act on their dreams.

Keeping God’s word fresh our mind, by daily reading, helps protect us spiritually. God is on our side, but we are soldiers of Christ. We have a role to play in keeping ourselves safe, growing, and cultivating blessings. Reading the word plays a vital role in keeping us safe. God desires to train us, but He cannot train us if we do not pick up the training manual. God wants to be closer to us, but He cannot draw nearer if we do not learn to harmonize with Him through the Word. The Word is the vit...

God is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us (Eph. 3:20). God wants to work through your life. He want to take you to realms you didn’t think your life could ever go. One plus God is a majority. When you partner with God, Satan trembles in fear. There is no limit on God's sides. The challenge lies with us. God is fully willing. Now, we just need to learn to be willing and walk with Him.

Biblical selflessness does name make you a door mat. It empowers you. Selfishness gets between you and God. It hold you back from spiritual power and blessings.

Travelling the straight and narrow road is tough. Some people have tried to redesign the road to heaven and make it easier.
