Does the Bible make sense? It will if you read it in chronological order! Come join me on a journey through the story of the Bible in a new and understandable way. My Daily Briefing will make the story of the Bible seem like a good novel!

John served Jesus for almost his entire life, yet he ended up on a dreadful prison island. But while he was there, God revealed glorious things that no one else has ever seen – things John would never have wanted to miss. God sometimes takes us to dark places so we can fully appreciate and experience His presence and His glory!
Truth without love is harsh and legalistic. Love without truth is sentimental and deceptive. Truth and love must be equally exhibited in the life of a believer! Show Notes: Episode 357 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
God is in love with you – in fact, He is crazy about you! Are you enjoying God's “forever love” right now? Show Notes: Episode 356 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Since our fellowship with God is characterized by how well we love and value other believers (even those who are very different from us), how do you think God would describe your relationship with Him? Show Notes: Episode 355 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Our culture teaches us to follow our hearts – which is another way of advising us to pay attention to our instincts and trust our emotions. But Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” Show Notes: Episode 354 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Satan likes to use the difficult times we face to convince us that God has abandoned us. But He never will! He is our father! Show Notes: Episode 353 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Do you have a solid faith that is able to go through the tough times? Or is your faith kind of wishy-washy – changing to please the people or fit the circumstances that surround you? Show Notes: Episode 352 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Is there a mature believer (or a group of believers) that you meet with whose goal is to help you grow? Show Notes: Episode 351 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Do the struggles you face make your faith seem too difficult or even futile? Show Notes: Episode 350 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Have you ever felt abandoned and alone? Do you understand that Jesus is right there beside you? Show Notes: Episode 349 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Not everyone who claims to be a “Christian” leader is a child of God. It is important to evaluate what others are teaching by studying God's Word. It is the only true source of knowledge about Him. Show Notes: Episode 348 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Submission does not imply weakness. As a matter of fact, it usually requires greater strength! Show Notes: Episode 347 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Sharing our faith with unbelievers is God's ultimate purpose for our lives while we are still here on earth. And it is one the greatest joys we can ever experience! Show Notes: Episode 346 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
What is one thing about your faith that attracts others to Jesus? Show Notes: Episode 345 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
If you spent as much time taking care of your heart as you do taking care of your external appearances, what would your walk with God look like? Show Notes: Episode 344 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
What is the primary reason you attend church or youth group or Bible study? Are you there to worship God and learn about Him? Or are you there for other reasons like many of the believers in Timothy's church were? Show Notes: Episode 343 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Is it obvious to others that you are a child of God? Show Notes: Episode 342 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing

The Greek word translated “to humble” is tapeinoo. It means “to make low.” Literally it refers to leveling hills or mountains. Is there a mountain in your life that you need to start excavating today? Show Notes: Episode 340 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Jesus gave up all his rights for us! What have you given up recently so that someone else could know him? Show Notes: Episode 339 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
It is impossible to look down on another person when we understand: How much God loves them! How much Jesus was willing to give up for them – and for us! How little we deserve! How much we owe! Show Notes: Episode 338 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Jesus was willing to become a helpless, newborn baby and live in a sinful world so that we can be freed from the consequences of sin. He was ridiculed, rejected, and willing to die on the cross so that we can become children of God. Shouldn't we be willing to embrace what he taught and eagerly obey all his commandments? Show Notes: Episode 337 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Victory over Satan's destructive influence in our lives is ultimately dependent on our prayers and our understanding of God's Word! Are you ready for battle? Show Notes: Episode 336 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
God intends for His children to live in unity. In order to do this, Christians must never promote themselves or put others down. How are you doing? Show Notes: Episode 335 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Each day should become a treasure hunt as we search for the special tasks that God has already prepared for us to do. Doing them will bring us great blessing and joy! Show Notes: Episode 334 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing

When you are frightened or discouraged, do you cling to the promises God has given you? Show Notes: Episode 331 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
We can't add a single day – or even one minute – to our lives no matter how hard we try. Worrying only makes things worse. Show Notes: Episode 330 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Our role is not to convince others that the Gospel message is true. That's the job of the Holy Spirit. Our role is to love them enough to share the truth with them, and then leave the results up to God. Show Notes: Episode 329 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Take a minute and think through your testimony. Can you share your story in a way that will help others understand how great God is and how they can have an eternal relationship with Him? Show Notes: Episode 328 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Regardless of how the odds are stacked against us, God is still in control! If we are willing to walk with Him, God will get us where He wants us to be. Show Notes: Episode 327 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Take a few minutes and think through all the things you hope to do in the next two years. Now imagine that your life is put on hold. You aren't able to do anything you want to do because someone has falsely accused you. Would you still be faithful to God like Paul was? Show Notes: Episode 326 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Paul's life was in great danger! Yet God chose not to change his circumstances. But God did go to great lengths to relieve his fears and bring him peace. Show Notes: Episode 325 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing

Are you willing to love and support fellow believers whose faith in Jesus looks a little different than yours does? Show Notes: Episode 322 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Would your friends and family members describe you as a “giver” or as a “taker”? God blesses people who are “givers.” They end up receiving far better things to replace the things they gave up. Show Notes: Episode 321 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing

Have you ever wondered if God still loves you because of something you said; or thought; or did? Show Notes: Episode 319 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Take a moment to look out a window right now. List all the things you can learn about God from just glancing through that one tiny space. Do you personally know the God Who created all these things? Are you certain that you live with Him forever? Show Notes: Episode 318 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Do you forgive others generously – the way God has forgiven you? Do you give to others lavishly – the way God has given to you? Show Notes: Episode 317 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
