Jack presents a unique and in-depth look at what it means to be salt and light as a Christian. Luke 14:34-35 “Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? 35 It is neither fit for the soil nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-barrow-iii/support

Locum Tenens. It is Latin meaning: one filling in for a time or taking the place of another. A placeholder. At such a time as this we workers, lay­men, keepers of the faith must address ourselves to creating a proper image of CHRISTIANITY in our living. We must be more active in the business of being under­stood. We must be active in the business of being felt more that being heard. Come on Ministry. We must be more persuasive as com­municators of spiritual truths. We must cause others to see the Christian message in its true light. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-barrow-iii/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-barrow-iii/support

Luke 2:34-35 34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is set (destined) for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against.

Isaiah 66:1-2 MSG God's Message: “Heaven's my throne, earth is my footstool. What sort of house could you build for me? What holiday spot reserve for me? I made all this! I own all this!” God's Decree. “But there is something I'm looking for: a person simple and plain, reverently responsive to what I say. We live in this world where people are more offended that you confronted a sin or defended a truth than that sin offends God or that truth is the word of God.

Pronoia technically means forethought, before thought, it also means providential care or to make provision for a thing. Psalms 37:23-24 NLT - The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand. Providence means because of Gods foresight and power, he can direct things according to his will. It's the Manifestation of divine care.  The Spirit who is himself God bares witness to our spirit. #Paranoia, #Pronoia, #HolySpirit, #Holy Ghost, #God, #Providence, #Sermon, #SDA, #Children, #Care --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-barrow-iii/message

Immerse your spiritual habits in the life of the Lord until they become such a spontaneous expression of our lives that we are no longer aware of them. We need to stop giving people excuses not to believe in God. You've probably heard the expression ‘I believe in God, just not organized religion'. I don't think people would say that if the church truly lived like we are called to live. 2 Peter 1:8 If these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful… #Habits #God #Sermon #JackBarrow #Adventist #SDA # --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-barrow-iii/message

Mercy in Greek was eleos, which is derived from the word for olive oil. Olive oil was used to treat wounds. It was soothing, comforting, and healing.

Some argue that the Bible is contradictory concerning whether God is a God of peace or war. The argument is that Exodus 15:3 and Joel 3:9-10 say that God is a God of war, but Isaiah 2:4 and Romans 15:33 say that God is a God of peace. However, there is a very simple explanation that solves this alleged contradiction. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jack-barrow-iii/message

Many of us do not continue to grow spiritually because we prefer to choose on the basis of our rights, instead of relying on God to make the choice for us. We have to learn to walk according to the standard which has its eyes focused on God.
