Some think that because God sovereignly rules over our lives, we're not responsible for our sins. On Truth For Life, Alistair Begg explains why God's providence gives believers comfort, security, and humility—but it doesn't absolve us from our wrongdoings. ----------------------------------------- • Click here and look for "FROM THE SERMON" to stream or read the full message. • This program is part of the series ‘The Hand of God, Volume 2' • Learn more about our current resource, request your copy with a donation of any amount.

In Episode 6 of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker, and AntMan tackle a bold and often uncomfortable question: Can Christians cuss? After a CNN article claimed that swearing may signal intelligence, creativity, and honesty, the guys break down those cultural arguments and compare them directly to Scripture. From Proverbs and James to Ephesians and Colossians, this episode explores what the Bible says about the tongue, obscene talk, and the condition of the heart. Is profanity just a harmless habit—or does it reveal something deeper? Why do we excuse certain words in adults but cringe when children say them? And what does it mean when the name of Jesus is casually used as an expression of anger? This conversation moves beyond behavior modification and into transformation. The hosts discuss sanctification, heart posture, media influence, and how what we consume shapes what we speak. If you’ve ever struggled with your language—or wondered whether it even matters—this episode offers a thoughtful, Scripture-centered perspective.

What if the peace you're looking for isn't found in getting more—but in trusting Jesus more deeply? In a world that constantly tells us we need more to be happy, true contentment can feel out of reach. In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks the Apostle Paul's powerful teaching on contentment, revealing how real peace is learned, cultivated, and sustained through dependence on Christ—not circumstances. No matter what life brings, you can live anchored, joyful, and purpose-filled. ✨ In this message, you'll learn: • Why contentment must be learned, not wished for • How to break free from comparison, scrolling, and constant dissatisfaction • How to live content in Christ while still pursuing God's purpose with passion

Did you know the Bible has more scriptures about finances than about heaven and hell? Faith in the area of finances is the least use of our faith (Luke 16:10). If we can't trust God with our money, how can we expect to be able to trust Him with greater things? Join Andrew in this series of Charis chapel hours and discover how exercising your faith in the “least” can unlock faith for that which is greater.

For over 3 1/2 years, I researched what the Bible says about women in church leadership. I didn't have a conclusion when I started out. I just wanted to understand what the Bible says about the topic and sort through all the scholarly debates on all sides. I write about all of this in my new book From Genesis to Junia: An Honest Search for What the Bible Really Says about Women in Leadership. And I sum up my book in this epiosde.

How have you experienced God's patience? Could his kindness be something you've begun to assume rather than receive with gratitude? What sins do you need to repent of today? In today's episode, Keith explores how Mark 12:1–12 reveals a patient God who repeatedly sends messengers, warns us of coming judgment, and ultimately calls us to repent before we reject the Son himself.  Read the Bible with us in 2026!

Friendship didn't stop mattering when we became adults.It just became more layered, more tender, and more vulnerable.The Bible never treats friendship as optional or superficial. From the very beginning, God said something was not good — and it wasn't work, purpose, or responsibility. It was isolation.“It is not good for man to be alone.” — Genesis 2:18Friendship is not a bonus feature of life.It's part of how God forms us.But because adult friendship looks different than it used to, there are a few quiet lies that tend to creep in — often unnoticed — and shape how we interpret our experiences.Dive deeper into the notes from this episode and more on substack at cleerelystated.substack.com

In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham tackle one of the most debated theological questions in Christianity: Does the Bible actually teach predestination? They walk through key Scriptures, clarify common misconceptions, and explain why God's sovereignty and human responsibility are not enemies. Rather than dividing believers, a right understanding of this doctrine should strengthen confidence in evangelism and deepen trust in God's character.    The conversation then moves to Luke 15 and the heart of the Father in the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost sons, unpacking the cultural background, exposing the danger of “older brother” religion, and offering practical tools for reaching the “one more” in your life through prayer, everyday conversations, and the B.L.E.S.S. method. The episode closes with cultural analysis around the Bad Bunny Super Bowl controversy, showing how Christians can stand firm in truth while still reflecting God's compassion for lost people made in His image.   In this episode, you'll learn: What the Bible really teaches about predestination Why sovereignty and evangelism are not enemies The powerful context behind Luke 15's parables How to know if you're drifting into “older brother” syndrome A practical framework for helping someone take one step closer to Jesus How to respond to culture with clarity and compassion

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where each day we journey together through the pages of Scripture, letting God's Word point us to Jesus, the living Word. In today's episode, your host Hunter guides us through Leviticus chapters 26 and 27, exploring God's promises, warnings, and the ancient covenant He makes with His people. We also finish our reading in Acts chapter 23, witnessing Paul's steadfast faith in the midst of suffering, conspiracies, and threats on his life. Alongside reflections from listener Brad Mason, we're invited to find encouragement in Christ, even in our own dark nights. As we pray together, seek the Lord's peace, and prepare our hearts for the season of Lent, this episode reminds us that, whatever our circumstances, God's presence and purpose for our lives remain steadfast. So wherever you are on your journey, join us and be encouraged—God's joy is our strength, and, as always, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Suffering is not a surprise for the followers of Jesus, and certainly not for Paul. From the moment he meets Jesus on the road to Damascus, the message is clear: suffering will accompany his calling. And yet, with every proclamation of hardship, there is also a prescription—a vision of Christ to sustain him. Paul's journey is filled with adversity, but each ache, each threat, each moment in prison or under accusation, is met with a fresh vision of the Lord himself. Jesus appears to Paul with words of encouragement: "Just as you have been a witness to me here in Jerusalem, you must preach the good news in Rome as well." Be encouraged. That is the living message—not only for Paul, but for us. In every dark hour, every pressure, every threat, God meets us with himself. Jesus says, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age." His purposes for our lives will not fail. Through temporary affliction, he works an eternal weight and glory. Are you suffering today? Are you threatened or burdened? The prescription remains: the vision of Jesus. Look to him. Hold on to the clear sight of the Lord in your midst. This is where encouragement is found. He is present now, working something beautiful, something lasting, through every trial and hardship. Let your heart be encouraged, your eyes fixed on Him. Let this be your prayer—for yourself, for your family, for all whom you love, and for the world. May we live this day holding fast to the vision of Christ, relying on his presence, trusting in his promises. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

There's an argument that has gone around for decades and it revolves around the idea of how much worship music do we need? Do we have enough? On the one hand, yes, we have more worship music than we'll ever be able to use in our Sunday morning services. And there's also the argument that worship music is the most lucrative music in Christian music. I don't think that can be debated. So while there are business and industry incentives to make worship music that will always exist at the intersection of Christianity and industry, what is the biblical perspective? What does the Bible teach us about singing, songwriting, and corporate worship? Trip Lee is a hip hop artist, a preacher, a rapper, an author…and he's released a worship album. I appreciate Trip and his commitment to God's Word. We talk about the power of worship music, why we need more cultural expressions of it, and how worship music should be viewed as a tool of discipleship. We also talk about culture and Christianity, racial tension, and how we should think about the division in the church right now. Trip is awesome and this conversation was a joy. This is David Santistevan and you can reach me anytime at david@beyondsundayworship.com. As always thank you for listening. Topics Covered: Trip’s story of coming to faith in Christ The influence of church music on Tripp’s music Musical and theological influences Why Tripp decided to make a worship album The intersection of culture and church Why it can be challenging to partner together across racial and cultural lines Resources Mentioned: Show Sponsor: Planning Center For Your Glory EP by Trip Lee & Brag Worship Brag Worship Show Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by Planning Center, an all-in-one church management software made to help churches help people.

I sat and thought for a moment. How much do I love the Word of God? Having access to the Bible my entire life, has it become common place? Do I take it for granted? I began to pray and ask God for a renewed love for His Word. I prayed for a fresh hunger to know God more through the pages of Scripture.Main Points:1. You and I are to be people of the Word. The Bibles we possess are the very words of God. The chapters and verses are not simply the thoughts and insights of man, nor are they just historical stories of ancient peoples. 2. Because God has revealed His Word through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and because it is infallible and without error, the Bible is authoritative rule of faith and conduct. We accept the Bible as the final and unchanging authority for what we believe and how we are to live.3. Since this is true, the Bible must become our daily spiritual food. We must become people of the Word. We must allow scripture to shape our worldview. Through the pages of the Bible we come to know God in a personal way. We discover His will for our lives and we learn how to please Him.Today's Scripture Verses:2 Peter 1:20-21 - “Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet's own understanding, or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.”Psalm 119:105 - “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.”Psalm 119:47-48 - “…for I delight in your commands because I love them. I reach out for your commands, which I love, that I may meditate on your decrees.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Hope for Right Now Podcast – Encore Episode 4: He Satisfies the Deeper Longing There's an old Latin proverb that says, “Repetition is the mother of learning.” With that in mind, we are revisiting four of your favorite Hope for Right Now podcast episodes. Our prayer is that you would take some time to look back, and reflect on the ways you've grown in your relationship with God. We will return on February 23, 2026, with a new series based on our brand new Lenten devotional, Desert Bloom: Discovering Unexpected Joy in the Wilderness. Today's last encore episode is a real throw back—all the way back to episode 1! This top fan favorite is the first conversation on our podcast. The series is Encountering Jesus Personally, and the episode is He Satisfies the Deeper Longing. We all hunger, but quick solutions and overnight fixes are not going to help or satisfy. The remedy we need, the only One who satisfies, is Jesus, the Bread of Life. Truly, this is a conversation that will never grow old.  This is a special Encore Episode originally released in January 2024. In this week's episode, Lisa and Laura dive into the Gospel of John, focusing on the famous I AM statement, “I am the bread of life.” Each time we find Jesus saying, “I am,” He is giving us a glimpse into what He's like. He's revealing something about His character. If you're struggling to find purpose and meaning or are weary from disappointment or heartache, listen and be encouraged as Lisa and Laura unpack today's Scripture and apply it to our daily lives. Open your Heart to our key Scripture.  John 6:35: Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.” Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Exodus 3:14: God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” John 6:15: Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the hills by himself. John 6:26–27: And when Jesus encountered the crowd He said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you.” John 6:48–51: He said, “I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live for ever, and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.” John 6:52–56: The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.” Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. What's the end goal? Psychological health or spiritual maturity?  Show mentions. N.T. Wright, Theologian Fulton J.

They are hilarious, spirited, spicy, deeply thoughtful and emotional kids. I adore them and being their mother. They've challenged me in the most surprising and wonderful ways. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Chad. I always feel like I lose a little street cred when I say that so, for the record, we didn't date that entire time and eventually reconnected years after college on MySpace (yup, now I've aged myself). He's the love of my life, an incredible man that loves others deeply, works so very hard, and continues to be open to growth and change.   I've worked in the field of relationship education for over 15 years alongside my father, Dr. John Van Epp, who is the founder of Love Thinks and developer of multiple relationship education courses that have been taught to over a million people worldwide. I started traveling to conferences with him when I was in junior high and so, in many ways, it feels like I've grown up in the relationship education field. He's amazing and brilliant and I'm blessed to have learned so much from him over the years we worked together and just cherish our relationship.   I distinctly remember a conversation with my dad over 20 years ago where I said that someday I wanted to support women, but I just wasn't sure how.   Fast forward 10 years and Effie (our oldest) was born and, holy moly, did motherhood hit me like a ton of bricks and I completely lost myself in motherhood (you can read the full story in my book).

Motherhood is full of moments that make us laugh—sometimes out of pure joy, and sometimes because life feels too ridiculous not to. In this episode of the Gather Moms Podcast, we continue our Bible Moms series by stepping into the story of Sarah, a woman who waited decades for God's promise and laughed when it finally seemed too impossible to believe. Sarah's story (Genesis 12–25) reads like a Netflix drama: unanswered prayers, bad decisions made in desperation, long seasons of waiting, and a plot twist only God could write. As we walk through her journey, we talk honestly about what it means to trust God when your body, your circumstances, and your timeline all seem to tell a different story. In Genesis 18, Sarah laughs when she overhears God promise she'll have a son in her old age. But her laughter isn't mockery—it's the laughter of exhaustion, disappointment, and guarded hope. Years later, when Isaac is finally born, Sarah laughs again—this time with joy, marveling at what God has done and inviting others to laugh with her. This episode is an invitation for moms to read Scripture with compassion instead of judgment, to bring doubts honestly before God, and to trust that nothing is too hard for the Lord. Whether you're waiting on a promise, feeling worn out, or wondering if it's too late for God to work—Sarah's story reminds us that God is faithful, patient, and always on time. In this episode, we talk about: Why laughter shows up so often in motherhood—and in the Bible How to read Scripture with compassion instead of comparison What Sarah's waiting teaches us about God's timing Why God isn't offended by our doubts or questions How God fulfills His promises, even when we make messy choices The hope that comes from trusting God with what feels impossible Scripture referenced: Genesis 12–25, Genesis 18:9–14, Genesis 21:1–6 Next steps:Join us on Gather Moms Patreon as we read through the book of Luke together during Lent, starting February 18. Our hope is that 2026 becomes the year you fall in love with God's Word in a whole new way.

For nearly 2,000 years of Christian history, this wasn't even a debated question. When the church gathered for worship, the whole family gathered together. But today, many parents wrestle with what Sunday mornings should look like for their children. In this episode of Family Vision, Dr. Rob and Amy Rienow explore what Scripture, church history, and personal experience reveal about children in corporate worship. From Old Testament feasts to New Testament letters addressed directly to children, the biblical pattern consistently points toward multi-generational worship. But this conversation goes deeper than logistics. It's about long-term discipleship, heart connection to the church body, and whether our children truly feel seen, valued, and spiritually formed within the gathered church. What You'll Learn in This Episode: - What the Bible reveals about children participating in corporate worship - Why this question did not exist for most of church history - How separating children from the main service may impact long-term faith - The difference between having kids present and truly valuing them - Practical encouragement for parents navigating Sunday mornings Scriptures Referenced: Exodus 12, Deuteronomy 16, Joshua 8, Joel 2, Ephesians 6:1–3, Colossians 3:20 Resources: Visionary Church – Discover how your church can strengthen families and the next generation.

Pastors don't start cynical or burned out. But somewhere along the way, the wine runs out and we keep preaching, leading, and carrying burdens we were never meant to carry.In a Practically Pastoring Conference session, Tim Wildsmith walks through John 2:1–11 and connects it with Matthew 11:28–30, offering a simple but piercing invitation: name the need, surrender the burden, and pursue soul rest in Jesus before ministry emptiness turns into something worse.Follow Tim Wildsmith:Website: https://timwildsmith.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@timwildsmithInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/timwildsmithX: https://x.com/timwildsmithFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimWildsmith/Timestamps:00:00 – Tim's story (Belmont, YouTube, Bible nerd life)03:44 – Why this talk (ministry grind, running on empty)05:42 – Reading: John 2:1–11 (Wedding at Cana)08:02 – When the wine runs out (ministry parallels)10:29 – Mary's model: “They have no more wine” (name the need)12:57 – Burnout realities + overwhelming expectations15:28 – Matthew 11:28–30: where do you go for rest?19:23 – The “rock” exercise: why we don't want to set burdens down22:12 – What is the soul?

The human ear has three tiny bells called the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup. Each of them must function together in order for you to hear. Three essential spiritual elements must work in conjunction in order for you to be saved: faith, the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit. How do these work together to convert a lost sinner into a child of God? Dr. Barnhouse answers this question using Romans 10:16 on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Mark 10:4545For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”John 13:1-171Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 4rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” 8Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” 9Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you.” 11For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”12When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? 13You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260216dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Matthew 17:2 Who Is Jesus? People have lots of opinions about Jesus. Some say he was just a good teacher. Some say he was just a prophet. Some say he was just a symbol of love and justice. Some say he was just a legend. But what Jesus reveals and tells us about himself doesn’t leave any room for “just.” The apostle Matthew tells us that Jesus was “transfigured.” That means he changed right in front of his disciples. For a moment, his glory showed through. He shone like the sun. His clothes became dazzling white. And God the Father spoke from a cloud: “This is my Son.” That means Jesus isn’t simply an inspirational leader. He is God’s Son. And that changes everything. Maybe you need that reminder today. It’s easy for doubts to creep in. Life gets messy. Suffering makes you wonder if God is really there. And sometimes Jesus can feel far away. That’s why this moment matters. God didn’t just want the disciples to hope Jesus was the Savior. He wanted to show them so they would know with certainty. Since Jesus is God’s Son, his words carry authority. His promises carry weight. His death is not a tragedy; it’s a rescue. His resurrection isn’t a myth; it's the doorway to eternal life. And that is why Jesus matters for you right now. Because Jesus is God’s Son, your life is not an accident. Your sins are not too big for forgiveness. Your pain is not ignored. And your future is not hopeless. You don’t have to wonder if God loves you. God sent his Son for you. The Transfiguration shines a spotlight on who Jesus really is. And when you see him clearly, you can finally see your life clearly too. Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me see you for who you truly are, God’s Son and my Savior. Give me confidence in your promises today.

As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, it’s fitting to reflect on the biblical perspective of leadership. Daniel 2:21 reminds us that God “changes times and seasons; He deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” Every president, past and present, serves under God’s sovereign hand. Recognizing their achievements, especially those guided by faith, is a way to honor God’s provision for our nation. Intersecting Faith & Life How can we honor God by recognizing the positive impact of leaders He places in office? In what ways can you personally pray for national leaders and their decisions? Reflect on moments in American history where prayer and faith intersected with leadership—how can this inspire your own spiritual practice? Do you want to listen ad-free?

He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” - Daniel 2:21 What does it take to be President of the United States of America? As our nation prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, we probably have a wide variety of thoughts and answers to this question. Still, throughout history, many men of various backgrounds, political leanings, religious beliefs, and stature have served as the President of the United States. Although we hold elections in the United States, we don’t want to ignore what Daniel explains: that God has a hand in who comes into leadership in our nation and that we really are not the ones in control. As we commemorate yet another President’s Day, it’s biblical to set time aside to honor the many men who have held the office, regardless of our political leanings. Being the President of the United States of America takes bravery and fortitude, as it comes with serious caution and risks to both the sitting president’s life and career. In Prayers and Presidents, author and historian William J. Federer presents statistics on the danger that being President holds: “Not every United States President left the White House on his own accord, with some dying in office and others murdered while serving. Four Presidents left office due to assassination, with the most famous and well-known account being that of the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, and the 35th President, John F. Kennedy. Along with them, lesser-recognized presidents were murdered while in office, including 20th President, James A. Garfield, and 25th President, William McKinley. As well, 40th President Ronald Reagan and soon-to-be re-elected Donald J. Trump survived assassination attempts on their lives. Reagan, while in office, and Trum,p while on the presidential campaign trail before taking office in his second nonconsecutive term as our 47th President at 78 years old.” Regardless of the risks, from the very beginning of our nation’s birth, prayer has been recognized and encouraged by many of our Presidents, including our very first President, George Washington, who carried a well-worn pocket-sized edition of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. Providence Forum executive director Dr. Jerry Newcombe describes how General Washington, during the Revolutionary War, felt the odds of winning were too great against us, so on July 4th, 1775—a year before independence—he sent the following order to his troops: “He requires and expects of all officers and soldiers, not engaged in actual duty, a punctual attendance on Divine service, to implore the blessing of Heaven upon the means used for our safety and defense.’" Some doubt God’s hand in America’s history and on America’s leaders. But Proverbs 21:1 reveals that, “In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that He channels toward all who please Him.” As well, Proverbs 8:15 reassures us that God has a hand in who reigns and rules on earth: “By Me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just.” God receives glory for directing ways presidents have honored Him, such as the 33rd President, Harry S. Truman, who initiated the National Day of Prayer as an annual observance in 1952, stating: “In times of national crisis when we are striving to strengthen the foundations of peace… we stand in special need of Divine support.” In April 1970, President Richard M. Nixon urged Americans to pray for the Apollo 13 astronauts who were in crisis. As well, after their safe return, he set aside Sunday, April 19, 1970, as a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving. President Ronald Reagan established the National Day of Prayer on May 5, 1988, to be commemorated each year on the first Thursday in May, saying: “Americans in every generation have turned to their Maker in prayer… We have acknowledged… our dependence on Almighty God.”Following the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina, our 43rd President, George W. Bush, declared Days of Prayer. Intersecting Faith & Life: We are honoring God when we honor His accomplishments achieved through the leaders He places into office as our presidents. By recognizing their godly accomplishments, we are expressing gratitude and glorifying God for His just decrees.

Marty Solomon joins the Eikon team to discuss his new book with Reed Dent, 'The Gospel of Being Human'. The conversation explores the importance of asking better questions of the Bible, understanding our humanity, and the nature of God's love. Marty shares insights on the complexity of human nature, the early church's perspective on sin, and the significance of redemption as illustrated in the story of Jonah. The discussion also delves into the dynamics of power, success, and failure in the context of faith, emphasizing that God's love is more prevalent than His wrath. The episode concludes with reflections on how to engage with scripture and the world around us with curiosity and compassion. Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome02:14 Marty's New Book and Creative Process04:55 The Importance of Asking Questions07:48 Understanding Ourselves Through the Bible10:33 The Complexity of Being Human13:18 God's View of Humanity16:08 The Historical Context of Theology19:57 The Jewish Narrative and God's Heart23:56 The Inefficiency of Divine Partnership27:35 Understanding God's Love and Compassion29:32 Reframing the Image of God34:25 The Challenge of Loving Our Enemies39:00 Redefining Success and Failure42:37 The Power of Love vs. Coercion

God's judgment is a common topic throughout the Bible and even in popular culture. But what does the Bible mean by divine judgment? Does it mean God smites us when we go too far? In this sermon Greg Boyd invites us to see the divine judgment or the wrath of God in a different light. God's judgment actually means that sin possesses its own repercussions—you might say that the wrongdoing ricochets. This is how divine wrath works because this is how God designed creation. 

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260215dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Matthew 17:1-2 Jesus Alone is Your Savior It was late summer, a little more than half a year until Jesus’ crucifixion. We don’t know exactly what mountain this was, but since Jesus and his disciples had just been near Caesarea Philippi on the slopes of Mount Hermon, it is likely that this was the Mountain of the Transfiguration. Jesus took three of his disciples up the mountain with him. These three were his inner circle of friends who were privileged to witness an amazing scene—Jesus was transfigured before them. The appearance of his face and clothing changed. For a brief time, those three disciples saw the unveiled divine glory of Jesus, the bright glory that is his from eternity as the Son of God. In a few short months, these same disciples would witness the deepest point of Jesus’ humiliation on earth—his bitter suffering and death on a cross. The vision of Jesus’ divine glory on that mountain helped prepare the disciples for what they would see their friend go through at the hands of his enemies. The transfiguration of Jesus assured them that he is the Son of God whom God the Father appointed and sent to earth to be the world’s Savior from sin. With that firm conviction, Peter later preached, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus alone is the world’s Savior—your Savior! Prayer: Jesus, glorified on the Mount of Transfiguration as the eternal Son of God, you went on to deeply humble yourself as my Savior on Calvary's mountain and die to take away the punishment for my sins. Lead me to always honor you as my Lord God and love you as my only Savior. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

...In one God | We Believe | Rick Atchley by The Hills Church

The greatest threats to our peace aren't out there—they're the patterns quietly shaping our hearts. In Philippians 4, Paul invites us to stand firm by resisting the things that steal our peace, and instead, instructs us to set our eyes on Jesus. As we stand firm together, we discover that the God of peace is near and at work among us.Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show
