    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 21, 2021 25:21


    A disciplined mind is characteristic of the most effective Public Servants. Their ability to stay on point results from having learned to think before they speak. But even more fundamental than that is the habit of thinking about the right kinds of things in the first place; the disciplined mind dwells on good things and does not allow itself to dwell on the wrong things. Let’s take a close look at Philippians 4:8.

    Chapter 25 - The Benefits of Truthfulness

    When you contemplate the benefits of being truthful versus the detriments of lying or bearing false witness, you will be motivated to seek truth in every corner of your life.

    Chapter 24 - Must We Forgive the Unrepentant?

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 21, 2021 28:51


    Forgiveness can be a difficult discipline to practice, but it is an indispensable character trait that must be continually cultivated over a lifetime. To be unforgiving is to pander to the old nature, which Scripture tells believers they should lay aside; to be unforgiving is to feed the desires of the flesh. Staff workers, friends, and family find gracious, forgiving people attractive, so cultivating this quality will actually help you.

    Chapter 23 - Passionate about Parenting

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 21, 2021 25:00


    When the institution of the family flounders in its primary responsibility to “train up a child in the way he should go” (Proverbs 22:6), the State is eventually overwhelmed with insurmountable problems. The State has a much easier job of maintaining civility in society when parents lovingly discipline their children at a young age. One might say that parents oversee the manufacturing plant of a good society. They are God’s first remedy in a fallen world, His intended means of curtailing evil in a nation. The book of Proverbs has much to say to parents about how to raise up a child.

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 16, 2019 32:34


    I believe Scripture supports believers being involved in the political arena (just like they are in most every other vocation) versus being against it or isolated from it. The way to change the direction of a nation is for believers to be involved. Someone’s morality will be the basis of law and culture; why not God’s?What follows are the biblical arguments for participation in the state in ways beyond evangelism.
