As Christians, God desires to align our heart's desires with his will for us. Today's guest is a classic example of this. Filmmaker David Helling brings to the big screen a film depicting the titanic spiritual struggle of Abram (Abraham) in Genesis. “His Only Son” tackles perhaps one of the most difficult of all biblical accounts—God's command to sacrifice his son Isaac to test his obedience. A mystery and stumbling block to so many believers and skeptics alike, he draws […] The post His Only Son: A Deep Message of Grace from Director David Helling appeared first on Theology Mix.

Today's guest had it all: Hollywood stardom, a prosperous life, everything many only dream about. But as a Christian, the day came for him to take a stand on a moral issue, and suddenly everything changed. Virtually overnight, his life was turned upside-down, and he lost everything and everyone. He found himself absolutely alone in the world except for the God he loved. He shares his amazing story with us today.

What if you wrote your first devotional and it sold 11 million copies? You might be tempted to write another book. Jack Countryman did, and he never looked back. This is John Snyder for The Walk.

“Salt without prescribing how much.” -Ezra 7:22 Salt was used in every offering made by fire unto the Lord, and from its preserving and purifying properties it was the grateful emblem of divine grace in the soul. It is worthy of our attentive regard that, when Artaxerxes gave salt to Ezra the priest, he set no limit to the quantity, and we may be quite certain that when the King of kings distributes grace among his royal priesthood, the supply […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – December 13, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

“Whose heart the Lord opened.” -Acts 16:14 In Lydia’s conversion there are many points of interest. It was brought about by providential circumstances. She was a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, but just at the right time for hearing Paul we find her at Philippi; providence, which is the handmaid of grace, led her to the right spot. Again, grace was preparing her soul for the blessing–grace preparing for grace.

“So shall we ever be with the Lord.” -1 Thessalonians 4:17 Even the sweetest visits from Christ, how short they are–and how transitory! One moment our eyes see him, and we rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, but again a little time and we do not see him, for our beloved withdraws himself from us; like a roe or a young hart he leaps over the mountains of division; he is gone to the land of spices, and […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – December 10, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

What separates you from God? We know, intellectually, that nothing can separate us. But fears, failures, and our daily battle with sin can make us wonder if we are the exception to the rule. What about that addiction? That divorce? The terrible things I had to do in the war? That bad financial decision? Those personal failures that you don’t want to talk about? Even though we know there is nothing that separates, these things often make us feel separation […] The post The God Who (Always) Stays appeared first on Theology Mix.

“My prayer life stinks!” Ever said that? Whether old saint or new Christian, prayer is one of the most mysterious and difficult things to learn and practice consistently. Mike Novotny has written extensively on anxiety, sexuality, depression, divorce, suicide, addiction, abuse, abortion, pornography, and more. Today he is talking about The Power of Devoted Prayer, offering hope to all of us who have struggled with it.

One of the first things that invades our minds when God calls us to some new ministry or way of life is self-doubt, the haunting feeling that what God wants is just too far beyond us. Moses is the classic biblical case, told to become the instrument of God's deliverance of the Hebrews in Egypt. Excuses flowed from his lips: “I can't do it!” “I'm not qualified!” “I can't speak well!” “Just send someone else!” Sound familiar? Been there? Well, […] The post How Surrender Sets You Free: Erica Wiggenhorn on The Walk appeared first on Theology Mix.

One thing this current pandemic has done for us is to cause us to examine carefully just how fulfilling our life's work is. Today, a high number of people have reevaluated their lives and concluded that it just isn't good enough. Maybe you're searching for something real right now—a totally different kind of life that matches all those dreams you used to have. That's the way it was for today's guest, Rory Groves. He examined hundreds of occupations that have […] The post What Is Homesteading? A Conversation with Rory Groves appeared first on Theology Mix.

“Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels.” -Revelation 12:7 War always will rage between the two great sovereignties until one or other be crushed. Peace between good and evil is an impossibility; the very pretence of it would, in fact, be the triumph of the powers of darkness. Michael will always fight; his holy soul is vexed with sin, and will not endure it. Jesus will always be the dragon’s foe, and […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 30, Evening appeared first on Theology Mix.

“And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The Lord is able to give thee much more than this.” -2 Chronicles 25:9 A very important question this seemed to be to the king of Judah, and possibly it is of even more weight with the tried and tempted O Christian.

“Spices for anointing oil.”-Exodus 35:8 Much use was made of this anointing oil under the law, and that which it represents is of primary importance under the gospel. The Holy Spirit, who anoints us for all holy service, is indispensable to us if we would serve the Lord acceptably. Without his aid our religious services are but a vain oblation, and our inward experience is a dead thing. Whenever our ministry is without unction, what miserable stuff it becomes! nor […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 29, Evening appeared first on Theology Mix.

“Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people … Thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.” -Leviticus 19:16-17 Tale-bearing emits a threefold poison; for it injures the teller, the hearer, and the person concerning whom the tale is told. Whether the report be true or false, we are by this precept of God’s Word forbidden to spread it.

“Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.” -John 12:2 He is to be envied. It was well to be Martha and serve, but better to be Lazarus and commune. There are times for each purpose, and each is comely in its season, but none of the trees of the garden yield such clusters as the vine of fellowship.

“Grieve not the Holy Spirit.”-Ephesians 4:30 All that the believer has must come from Christ, but it comes solely through the channel of the Spirit of grace. Moreover, as all blessings thus flow to you through the Holy Spirit, so also no good thing can come out of you in holy thought, devout worship, or gracious act, apart from the sanctifying operation of the same Spirit. Even if the good seed be sown in you, yet it lies dormant except […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 21, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

“The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks.”-Proverbs 30:26 Conscious of their own natural defencelessness, the conies resort to burrows in the rocks, and are secure from their enemies. My heart, be willing to gather a lesson from these feeble folk. Thou art as weak and as exposed to peril as the timid cony; be as wise to seek a shelter.

“O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul.”-Lamentations 3:58 Observe how positively the prophet speaks. He doth not say, “I hope, I trust, I sometimes think, that God hath pleaded the causes of my soul;” but he speaks of it as a matter of fact not to be disputed. “Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul.” Let us, by the aid of the gracious Comforter, shake off those doubts and fears which so much mar our peace […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 20, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

“O that I knew where I might find him!” –Job 23:3 In Job’s uttermost extremity he cried after the Lord. The longing desire of an afflicted child of God is once more to see his Father’s face.

“Avoid foolish questions.” –Titus 3:9 Our days are few, and are far better spent in doing good, than in disputing over matters which are, at best, of minor importance. The old schoolmen did a world of mischief by their incessant discussion of subjects of no practical importance; and our Churches suffer much from petty wars over abstruse points and unimportant questions.

“Thou art from everlasting.” -Psalm 93:2 Christ is Everlasting. Of him we may sing with David, “Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever.” Rejoice, believer, in Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus always was. The Babe born in Bethlehem was united to the Word, which was in the beginning, by whom all things were made.

“A spring shut up, a fountain sealed.” -Song of Solomon 4:12 In this metaphor, which has reference to the inner life of a believer, we have very plainly the idea of secrecy. It is a spring shut up: just as there were springs in the East, over which an edifice was built, so that none could reach them save those who knew the secret entrance; so is the heart of a believer when it is renewed by grace: there is […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 18, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

“To whom be glory forever. Amen” –Romans 11:36 “To whom be glory forever.” This should be the single desire of the Christian. All other wishes must be subservient and tributary to this one. The Christian may wish for prosperity in his business, but only so far as it may help him to promote this–“To him be glory forever.” He may desire to attain more gifts and more graces, but it should only be that “To him may be glory forever.” […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 17, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

“The trial of your faith.” -1 Peter 1:7 Faith untried may be true faith, but it is sure to be little faith, and it is likely to remain dwarfish so long as it is without trials.

“For my strength is made perfect in weakness.” –2 Corinthians 12:9 A primary qualification for serving God with any amount of success, and for doing God’s work well and triumphantly, is a sense of our own weakness.

When you cannot use your sword you may take to the weapon of all-prayer. Your powder may be damp, your bow-string may be relaxed, but the weapon of all-prayer need never be out of order.
