How to Stay Rooted in God's Word When Summer Distracts You Show Summary In this episode of *Anchored in the Word*, Dave Jenkins explores a timely question: How can Christians stay rooted in Scripture when summer distractions pull at our attention? Vacations, longer days, and busy routines can quietly shift our focus away from God's Word. But the Bible calls us to be like a tree planted by streams of water (*Psalm 1*), flourishing in every season. Join us as we look at key passages—Psalm 1, Joshua 1, Colossians 3, and John 15—and draw insights from church history to help you remain anchored in truth. Listen to the Episode Watch the Episode Staying Rooted in God's Word This Summer As summer approaches, routines change, and distractions seem to multiply. Vacations, family time, and longer days often lead to the gentle but dangerous drift away from the spiritual habits we've worked hard to build. But even in the busiest season, God's Word remains unchanging. Psalm 1:1–3 paints a picture of a person rooted deeply in God's Word, like a tree planted by streams of water. It doesn't matter the season—the tree flourishes because it is nourished by something that doesn't change with the weather. This is the type of spiritual stability that God desires for us, even when life feels chaotic. What does it mean to stay rooted in God's Word this summer? It means choosing to prioritize Scripture over distraction. It doesn't mean doing more, but being more intentional about how we engage with God's Word. Whether you're on vacation or staying home, here are a few simple ways to stay grounded: Plan intentional time in Scripture each day—no matter how small. Use the ESV audio Bibles to stay engaged when traveling. Meditate deeply on a single passage, rather than reading widely. Involve your family in Scripture time, making it a part of your daily rhythm.

What Do I Do If I Have Committed Sexual Sin?Anchored in the Word with Dave JenkinsIn this episode, Dave Jenkins addresses what the Bible says about sexual sin, the call to repentance, the assurance of God's forgiveness, and practical steps to walk in holiness. A biblically grounded message of hope and restoration for anyone struggling with this issue.For biblical guidance on repentance, see Repentance.You can also explore more episodes from Anchored in the Word.Listen to the AudioWatch the VideoUnderstanding Sexual Sin in the BibleFirst, we need to recognize that sexual sin is a serious issue in Scripture. From the very beginning of God's creation, sexuality has been designed to be a gift, meant to be expressed within the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. The Bible is clear that anything outside of this—whether it's adultery, fornication, pornography, or lust—is sin.1 Corinthians 6:18-20 — "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."Paul's warning in 1 Corinthians is clear: sexual sin is different because it involves our own bodies. When we sin sexually, we are sinning against the very body that is meant to glorify God. We're also reminded in this passage that our bodies belong to God. The idea of ‘my body, my choice' is utterly contradicted by the truth that we have been bought with a price—the precious blood of Jesus Christ.The Call to RepentanceSo, what do you do if you've committed sexual sin? The first and most important step is repentance. Repentance is not just feeling bad about what you've done, but turning away from sin and turning back to God.1 John 1:9 — "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."God is faithful and just to forgive when we come to Him with a repentant heart. The first step in restoration is to acknowledge your sin before God. There is no sin too great that it cannot be forgiven by the blood of Christ. When you confess your sin, you are agreeing with God about what you've done and expressing your desire to turn away from it.Repentance also involves a change of heart—a desire to forsake sin and pursue holiness. True repentance is not just about asking for forgiveness but about actively seeking to turn from the sin and live in obedience to God. In Matthew 5:29-30, Jesus warns that if something causes us to stumble, we should take radical steps to remove it from our lives.Matthew 5:29-30 — "If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away."This is a strong and radical teaching from Jesus. He's calling us to take drastic measures in removing the sin that entangles us. If your sin is tied to something in your life, whether it's a relationship, a habit, or even access to certain media, you need to be willing to make changes. Repentance means doing whatever it takes to flee from temptation and sin.The Assurance of Forgiveness and God's GraceNow, after we've repented, it's crucial to know that forgiveness is certain. If you've truly confessed and turned from your sin, God promises to forgive you.Psalm 103:12 — "As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us."God's forgiveness is complete. When He forgives us, He removes our sins completely, never to be held against us again. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). So, if you've repented, you can rest in the assurance that God has forgiven you. Don't allow the enemy to bring condemnation into your heart.

What Is Fornication? A Biblical and Theological AnswerBy Dave Jenkins In this edition of Anchored in the Word, we answer the question, “What is fornication?” We'll explore what Scripture teaches, why this sin matters so deeply, and how Christians can walk in holiness and purity through Christ.What the Bible Says About FornicationThe Greek word porneia in the New Testament refers to all kinds of sexual immorality outside of marriage. This includes premarital sex, adultery, and more.1 Corinthians 6:18–20 — Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit; we are called to glorify God with them.Matthew 5:27–28 — Jesus warns that even lust in the heart is sinful.Theology Behind FornicationSexual purity isn't just moral—it's theological. Marriage is a picture of Christ and the Church. Fornication distorts that picture.Ephesians 5:31–32 — Marriage mirrors Christ's covenant with His Bride.1 Thessalonians 4:3–5 — God's will is our sanctification through sexual purity.Practical Steps to Fight FornicationGuard your heart and mind — Matthew 5:28, Psalm 119:11Seek accountability — James 5:16Flee temptation — 1 Corinthians 6:18God calls us not just to resist sin but to flee from it. In Christ, we find both the power and the grace to do so.ConclusionFornication is a serious offense against God, but His grace is greater. In Christ, there is forgiveness, healing, and power to walk in holiness. Let us pursue purity—not to earn God's love, but because we've already received it through Christ.“You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” — 1 Corinthians 6:20 Frequently Asked Questions What is fornication according to the Bible? Fornication refers to sexual activity outside of biblical marriage. The Greek word porneia includes premarital sex, adultery, and other sexual immorality that violates God's design for purity. Is fornication different from adultery? Yes. Fornication refers to sexual sin outside of marriage, while adultery specifically refers to sexual sin committed by someone who is married with someone who is not their spouse. Can God forgive fornication? Yes. Through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, God offers full forgiveness and transformation. 1 John 1:9 assures us that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us. Why is fornication considered a sin in Christianity? Fornication distorts God's design for sex within the covenant of marriage. It violates God's commands and dishonors the body, which belongs to the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:13–20). What are the consequences of fornication according to Scripture? The Bible warns that sexual sin has both spiritual and relational consequences. It defiles the body, damages trust, and leads to judgment unless repented of (Hebrews 13:4, Galatians 5:19–21). How can someone overcome a struggle with fornication? Through repentance, accountability, renewing the mind in God's Word, and dependence on the Holy Spirit, believers can overcome sexual sin and grow in holiness (Romans 12:1–2; Galatians 5:16–24). What does the Bible say about sexual purity? The Bible calls all believers to pursue sexual purity as part of sanctification. God's will is for Christians to honor Him with their bodies and flee all sexual immorality (1 Thessalonians 4:3–5). Is there grace for those who have committed fornication? Yes. God's grace through Jesus Christ is greater than all sin. Those who confess and turn from fornication will be forgiven, cleansed, and restored (1 John 1:9; Psalm 51:10). Is it still considered fornication if two people are engaged? Yes. According to Scripture, sexual relations are reserved for marriage alone. Engagement is a promise, not a covenant, and sex outside of marriage remains sin in God's eyes. Does fornication affect one's relationship with God? Yes. Like all sin, fornication creates a barrier in fellowship with God. However, repentance and confession restore that fellowship through grace (Isaiah 59:2; 1 John 1:9).

In this episode of the Servants of Grace Theology Segment, Dave Jenkins answers a listener's question:Who was the Witch of Endor, and what does this unusual passage in 1 Samuel 28 mean for Christians today?Dave explores what Scripture says about Saul's rebellion, God's judgment, and the ongoing danger of witchcraft and spiritual deception. This episode will help you think biblically about one of the most striking passages in the Old Testament and how it applies today.Who the Witch of Endor was and why Saul sought her outWhat this passage reveals about Saul's rebellion and God's judgmentWhether the spirit summoned was truly SamuelWhat the Bible teaches about necromancy and the occultWhy modern spiritualism and occultism still threaten the ChurchAudio Player:Watch Video Here:Scripture Referenced:1 Samuel 28:3–251 Chronicles 10:13Deuteronomy 18:10–131 Peter 5:8John 8:44Featured Quote:“They're not talking to a beloved departed family member or friend; they are consorting with the demons of hell.”Recommended Resources:The Word Explored by Dave JenkinsDominion and Dynasty by Stephen DempsterSubscribe and Share:Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform:Apple PodcastsSpotifyServants of Grace WebsiteThank you for listening or watching this episode of Servants of Grace.Frequently Asked Questions Was it really Samuel who appeared to Saul? The text in 1 Samuel 28:12–20 indicates that God permitted the spirit of Samuel to appear—not through the witch's power but as an act of judgment. The medium was shocked, meaning she did not conjure him by her own abilities. This was a sovereign act of God, not the result of occult power. What does the Bible say about consulting mediums or necromancers? Deuteronomy 18:10–13 strictly forbids consulting mediums, necromancers, or engaging with the occult. These practices are called abominations. Leviticus 20:6 also warns that those who turn to spiritists defile themselves and face God's judgment. These actions are associated with spiritual deception and rebellion against God. Why did Saul seek the Witch of Endor? Saul sought the Witch of Endor out of desperation after God stopped speaking to him through prophets and dreams (1 Samuel 28:6). Instead of repenting, he turned to forbidden practices. 1 Chronicles 10:13–14 confirms that Saul died for his unfaithfulness, including his decision to consult a medium rather than seek the Lord. Is witchcraft still dangerous today? Yes. Modern occult practices—though often masked as entertainment or “spirituality”—remain spiritually dangerous. Galatians 5:19–21 includes sorcery among the works of the flesh that lead to destruction. 1 Peter 5:8 reminds Christians to be vigilant because the devil seeks to devour. Believers are called to reject these lies and cling to the authority and sufficiency of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16–17).

Let the Redeemed Say So: Responding to God's Unfailing Love(Psalm 107:1–32)Episode DescriptionIn this episode, Dave opens Psalm 107:1–32 and reflects on God's steadfast love revealed in every season of life. Whether wandering in deserts, sitting in darkness, suffering affliction, or weathering storms, one truth remains: the Lord delivers those who cry out to Him.This psalm is a call to the redeemed to remember God's mercy—and to say so. No matter your circumstances—calm or crisis—this passage reminds us that God's love never fails. Our response should be one of gratitude and praise.“Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!” – Psalm 107:8Listen Below
