A Song can Change Your Life EP. 134

This song is a powerful reminder that we have a limited time on earth and motivates us to use it wisely. It urges us to live in the present, not in the future or the past. It challenges us to take action today, not tomorrow, because tomorrow may never come. It warns us that after we die, we can't change anything in our life story. This song is not only a motivational anthem, but also a spiritual message. It reminds us that life is a gift from God, and that we can live it in joy. God is on our si...

Why Church? EP. 133

Let’s look at attitudes towards church and religion. Let me be blunt, many people are hypocritical and immature when they complain about church being boring, while they enjoy the same repetitive and redundant routines and activities in their life day after day, year after year. Church is a place where we learn from God's word, prepare for the judgment, and encourage one another to love and good works.

Living for Heaven EP. 132

If you are looking for a sermon that will inspire you to live a more spiritual life, you might want to skip this one. I’m not interested in impressing you with his website, radio program, or newspaper article. I’m not even interested in telling you how great my congregation is, although I do give them many compliments. I’m only interested in one thing: seeking God. I base my message on several passages from the Bible, especially 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, where Paul reminds the Christians in Corinth...

Overcoming the Forces Against You. EP. 131

One of the challenges that Christians face in today's society is the pressure to conform to the standards of the world. The world tells us that we should be tolerant, open-minded, and politically correct. It tells us that we should not judge others or stand up for what we believe. It tells us that there is no absolute truth or moral authority. It tells us that everything is relative and subjective. But as Christians, we know that this is not the case. We know that there is a God who created us a...

Soar beyond your fear EP. 130

Don't Let Satan Lure You Away EP. 128

As Christians, we face a constant battle against the forces of darkness that want to pull us away from God. We can't afford to let our guard down or to compromise our faith. We can't settle for a comfortable or easy Christianity that doesn't challenge us or cost us anything. We must follow the example of Paul, who endured hardships, persecutions, and sufferings for the sake of Christ. He didn't give up, he didn't give in, he didn't lose heart. He pressed on toward the goal, he fought the good fi...

The Power of Sincere Devotion EP. 127

This podcast delves into the importance of sincerity in Christianity and how it is often misunderstood. Sincerity, according to the Bible, means doing what God said to do, playing by the rules, and standing fast in the traditions that began in the first century. Sincerity is not just about feeling good or having good intentions. In this podcast I warn against being sincerely ignorant or mistaken, because if the blind lead the blind, they both fall into the ditch. True Christianity is tough and r...

Anarchy in the Pews EP 126

This podcast confronts the modern reluctance to critique religious absurdities, despite Biblical warnings against false prophets in Matthew 7:15-18. It addresses the decline in traditional, scripture-based religi...

Satan's Best Trick Yet. Snake oil is still popular. A new generation is a new market for an old lie. EP. 116

You gotta give the devil his due. He knows how to play the long game. He knows how to recycle error with a new generation that believe they had discovered a new truth that has been overlooked for the last 2000 years. His best trick yet, is an act he repeats again and again, watering down grace as an excuse for sin, laziness, lacking dedication and devotion. Modern grace no longer demands our all, but rather that we just work Jesus somewhere in on our agenda, toss Him an hour on Sunday, that's sh...

Doesn't God Want Me to Be Happy? EP. 115

God want us to be happy on His terms, not the worlds terms. Paul tells us that the flesh and the spirit are in conflict (Galatians 5:17). God's focus is the spirit. Those that belong to Christ crucify the flesh (Galatians 5:24). the challenge today is that modern people think that the purpose of life is to seek recreation and entertainment. Yet, Jesus tells us that the purpose of life is to take up our cross and follow Him. To present our bodies a sacrifice (Matthew 10:28). Satan has played a go...
