Fr. Mike teaches us more about the divine and human natures of the second person of the Holy Trinity, the Word that became flesh, Jesus Christ. Jesus became like us in all things but sin; as such, he has a human soul, intellect, will, and body without losing any of his divinity. Father Mike tells us that in his human nature, Jesus thought with a human mind, worked with human hands, and loved with a human heart. Christ needed to learn things, and he increased in wisdom and understanding. The full humanity and true divinity of Jesus is a great mystery of our faith. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 470-474. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Twice a year, we adjust our clocks—but it often feels like our bodies and routines take much longer to adjust. Daylight Saving Time can disrupt sleep, slow our mornings, and leave us feeling out of sync. While it may seem like a small inconvenience, even minor shifts can reveal how tightly we cling to our schedules and sense of control. Joshua 10:13 reminds us that God alone holds authority over time. When the sun stood still, it was not human effort that altered the day, but divine power. We cannot stop or stretch time, but we can trust the One who governs it. Ecclesiastes tells us there is a season for everything. God establishes times and purposes beyond our understanding. Even when change feels inconvenient, His timing remains perfect. Adjustments—whether seasonal or personal—invite us to surrender our rhythms to Him. It’s easy to grumble when sleep is lost or routines are disrupted. Yet even in something as ordinary as a clock change, we are given an opportunity: will we respond with frustration, or with trust? God uses seasons and shifts to refine our patience, remind us of our dependence, and redirect our focus. His timing is not random. He makes everything beautiful in its time—even the transitions we resist. As you “spring ahead,” remember that your schedule is not sovereign. God is. And He is faithful to guide your steps at exactly the right pace. Main Takeaways God alone has authority over time. Seasonal changes can reveal our reliance on routine and control. Ecclesiastes reminds us that God appoints every season with purpose. Even small disruptions offer opportunities to practice gratitude and trust. God’s timing is steady, purposeful, and good. Today’s Bible Verse “So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.” - Joshua 10:13 Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Help me trust Your timing and adjust my heart as You adjust my schedule.” Listen to the full prayer here.

This week, Grant leads us in prayer for three things: that we would have courage to obey God, that we would have conviction to preach the truth of the Gospel, and that we would be the type of believers who have a faith that would be persecuted.

The battle for contentment is one of life's biggest challenges—even for followers of Christ. And that battle for contentment runs headlong into how we view money. What we use to purchase things. The phrase “silver and gold” appears in the scriptures no less than 58 times and we want this week to examine a handful of those texts to try and get some wisdom about money in general and silver and gold in particular. Receive Money touches so much of our daily lives, but the Bible helps us see it in the right perspective. Scripture reminds us that while money can meet needs and bless others, it was never meant to define our worth or secure our future. God cares more about shaping our character than growing our bank accounts. As we earn, spend, give, and save, we're invited to trust Him as our true provider—knowing that our ultimate security isn't found in money, but in Jesus. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? 2 Kings 5:5 Ecclesiastes 3:11 Acts 4:37 Mark 12:43-44 Matthew 17:24-27 1 Timothy 5:8 Ecclesiastes 5:10 Proverbs 8:10-11 Proverbs 16:16 Psalm 119:72 Matthew 6:33 Philippians 4:12 Psalm 135:15 Acts 3:1-8 Proverbs 22:1 says that “a good name is more desirable than great riches.” How does that change your attitude about money?  Scripture indicates some ways to keep the right attitude about money and what it's used for—like caring for the needs of loved ones, caring for others, caring for the work of the Lord, and paying taxes to support the government. How might these examples inspire you this week? Psalm 115:2-8 describes the dangers of replacing God by making idols out of money. How can this help you trust more in God than money? 1 Peter 1:18-19 provides the assurance that no amount of money can save us, only Jesus' sacrifice can do that. How does this encourage you to handle money differently this week?  Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Jesus, help me have the right attitude about money and use it well in my life. Help me focus more on growing my character in Your image than on growing my bank account. And help me see the opportunities in my life to help others with the money You've entrusted to me.”   Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: God and Money What Jesus Said About Your Money Listen: “Jesus, Love & Basketball” with Chris Broussard Read: The Money Watch: How to Use Money in Godly Ways

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 podcast! In today's episode, Heather guides us through the 8th day of March, marking day 67 in our journey through the Scriptures. Together, we reflect deeply on Deuteronomy chapters 7 through 9 and the powerful events of Mark 15. Heather reminds us that these sacred texts bear witness to Jesus—the source of our life—and invites listeners from around the world to ask the Holy Spirit for illumination as hearts and minds are renewed in God's love. The episode explores Israel's history of rebellion and God's unwavering mercy, revealing how Moses pleaded for his people and how God's plan to rescue and bless humanity extends far beyond Israel. As we witness Jesus's sacrificial love and advocacy on the cross, we're called to see the true heart of God—a heart overflowing with mercy, forgiveness, and restoration for all. Heather leads us in prayer, encouraging us to walk humbly in God's mercy and share his love with the world. Whether you're familiar with these stories or hearing them for the first time, this episode offers a moving invitation to see God's faithfulness afresh and to step forward into the day knowing: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We often read the stories of Israel's rebellion, their stubbornness, and their constant turning away from God, and it can seem as though their failures are unique or especially grave. But as Heather reflects, these narratives are an invitation to recognize our shared humanity—how everyone, everywhere, tends to reject God time and again. Yet in the midst of rejection, God's response is not what we might expect. Though it appears, even to Moses, that God's heart is set on rejecting the people, the truth is that Moses—like us—is seeing only partially, "through a glass darkly." He has not yet glimpsed the fullness of God's heart, the depth of mercy and love revealed in Jesus. One day, Moses—and all of us—will see with clarity. We'll see the heart of God unveiled in Jesus: the Son who offers himself for all rebellious humanity, standing as our advocate on the cross. It's there, in the Christological light of eternity, that we witness God's heart exceeding every hope, every expectation, every image Moses could have imagined. Moses repeatedly pleaded for mercy; he was a good advocate, faithful and persistent. But God's mercy was not because the people deserved it, but because God's promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was unbreakable. His plan was always bigger—extending not just to Israel, but to all people everywhere. Mark 15 shows us how God answers the pleading of Moses, how he responds to rebellious humanity: God offers himself. Jesus gives himself wholly, pouring out sacrificial love on the cross, accepting punishment on our behalf, ransoming us from sin and death. He forgives, sheds his blood, and pours out his Spirit—even for those who consistently reject him. Jesus stands in our stead; he rescues us from our delusions; he comes not to judge, but to save. Someone greater than Moses is now our advocate. Jesus undoes what Adam did. His vicarious life is not just for Abraham's descendants, but for all humanity. "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive." Jesus is a better Moses, revealing the true heart of the Father—a heart of mercy, a heart that desires to bless and rescue. Micah saw it long ago: God requires us to do right, love mercy, and walk humbly with him. Today, we are invited to walk in this mercy, to rest in the relentless love of God, and to see ourselves—rebellious and beloved—as recipients of grace through Christ. Let us live as people forgiven, embraced, and empowered by the self-giving love of Jesus. May we know the Father's heart, and may we reflect his mercy to the world. 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

When lifelong churchgoers Sean Walsh and Don Roth dug deep into Scripture, original languages, and biblical chronology, they became convinced that much of mainstream Christianity rests on three major errors. In this episode, they join Robert Plank to unpack their book The Three Pillars of False Doctrine and explain why they believe the traditional Friday death / Sunday resurrection, the popular form of the Trinity doctrine, and the modern idea of church as a building or organization all fail the test of the Bible itself. Drawing on Don's work creating a day‑by‑day Biblical calendar from Genesis forward and Sean's “Unlock the Word” ministry, they walk through key passages on the Sabbath, the Godhead, and church, and show how translation choices and tradition have shaped what most believers assume is “just Christianity.” Rather than asking anyone to join a new denomination, Sean and Don challenge listeners to be Bereans checking every sermon, creed, and holiday against Scripture. They discuss why Christ's “three days and three nights” matters, how Ezekiel and Acts are commonly misread to support Sunday worship, and why knowing who the God of the Old Testament is changes how you read the entire Bible. If you've ever felt that certain doctrines didn't quite add up, this conversation and the resources at UnlockTheWord.com and BiblicalCalendarProof.com invite you to put your traditions on the table and let the Bible speak for itself. Quotes: “If your timeline for Christ doesn't fit three days and three nights, it's not the Scripture that needs to move it's your doctrine.” Don Roth “Church isn't a business or a building; Ecclesia is the people God has called out. If you think ‘church' is a place you go on Sunday, you've already missed the context.” Sean Walsh “When you finally read the Bible without defending your denomination, you discover how many ‘non‑negotiable' doctrines collapse under the weight of Scripture.” Sean Walsh Resources: Unlock the World THE 3 PILLARS OF FALSE DOCTRINE

In Mark 15, we see Jesus enduring unspeakable torture. He remains quiet, willingly enduring the price for our sin. In this episode, we'll talk about mob mentality, silence as a choice, and remembering the extent of Jesus's humiliation as we deal with other people and even as we consider our own pet sins. 

In this episode, Bobby Bosler reflects on Psalm 46:1 and the powerful truth that God is “a very present help in trouble.” Drawing from personal Bible study and a simple illustration from everyday life, he explains how easy it is to think of God as distant when we face pressure, weakness, or distress. Yet Scripture reveals that God is not merely nearby—He is right within reach, ready to be our refuge, our strength, and the help we need in every situation. Topics Discussed Psalm 46:1 and the three descriptions of God: refuge, strength, and help What it means for God to be a refuge or safe place The different dimensions of strength God provides: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual The meaning of “help in trouble” and the kinds of distress people experience The significance of the phrase “very present help” in the Hebrew text How believers can mistakenly view God as distant in times of difficulty A practical illustration showing the difference between something being nearby and being within reach Learning to depend on God right where you are Key Takeaways God is a safe place where believers can find security and protection. The Lord provides strength for every area of life, including mental and emotional strain. In every distress or difficulty, the ultimate need is not a new solution but God Himself. Psalm 46 teaches that God is not merely close to us—He is very present, accessible, and ready to help. Believers can depend on God immediately, because He is always right within reach.

Numbers 31-32

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260308dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 True, Lasting Peace Amidst the struggles and hassles of our lives, there is a longing for true, lasting peace. If only there could be the peace that existed in the Garden of Eden. Our first parents lived in perfect harmony with God. They were his friends. And out of that peaceful relationship flowed a warm relationship with one another. The tragedy of sin was that it shattered both the peace between God and people and the peace among people. Quickly after the fall into sin, we see the rise of doubts and fears and hostility, which people directed both toward God and toward one another. True, lasting peace was lost. It's not hard to point to examples in our lives that demonstrate the truth of this: the envy in our hearts, the lust of our eyes, and the hurt that we cause by wayward words and selfish actions. For all these sins and the many more we do, we truly deserve God's eternal wrath and the pronouncement of his condemnation. Yet the remarkable thing is that God loves us, and he demonstrated his one-of-a-kind love by reestablishing peace between himself and his sinful, rebellious world of people. Listen to the words again: “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Every teaching of Scripture rests upon this truth. Though all people are undeserving sinners, Christ sacrificed himself in their place to win peace between God and us. Peace was reestablished through the death of Jesus Christ for “the punishment that brought us peace was upon him” (Isaiah 53:5). God’s righteous wrath against sin was directed at Jesus, and he paid the deadly price for sin with his own precious blood and his innocent sufferings and death. Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27). Prayer: O Jesus, by humbling yourself and dying for me, you rescued sinners from the condemnation I deserved. Comfort me with the true, lasting peace which comes from knowing and believing that you are my precious Savior. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Psalm 40:17As for me, I am poor and needy,but the Lord is thinking about me right now.You are my helper and my savior.Do not delay, O my God. “As for me, I am poor and needy…” — that was the first attention-grabber for me.And then this: “...but the Lord is thinking about me right now.” I had to take a moment and drink it in.This verse was already highlighted in my Bible, so it seems it draws me in every time I read it. In this episode, we will look at how knowing we are on His mind impacts our daily lives. We will also consider how we may be used to remind others that God is thinking about them. And then there's the “manna sandwich” with your name on it.

Is feminism incompatible with Christianity? Glenn sits down with Allie Beth Stuckey, BlazeTV host of "Relatable," to discuss the dangers of progressive Christianity, the OnlyFans star who found Jesus, and why Peter Thiel is talking about the Antichrist. No matter what people say online, Allie doesn't shy away from her stance that women shouldn't preach and why we need to embrace the “radical” gender roles promoted in the Bible. The pair agree that the memorial for Charlie Kirk felt like the start of a religious revival, but then why did the political Right start tearing itself apart?             GLENN'S SPONSORS:           Relief Factor : If you're living with aches and pains, see how Relief Factor, a daily drug-free supplement, could help you feel better and live better.

We explore the truth that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man; he is one person with two natures, both Divine and human. Fr. Mike explains that we call Mary the Mother of God because, from the very moment of his conception, Jesus was fully God and fully human. Fr. Mike also goes over heresies in the history of the Church that have denied the humanity of Christ, rejected the divinity of Christ, or confused the fact that Jesus is the Son of God by nature. The Church has always responded by affirming that Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God who became a man and our brother without ceasing to be God and Lord. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 464-469.

For many believers, doubt feels like failure. We assume that strong faith means never asking questions, never wrestling, never wondering why. But Scripture paints a different picture. Faith is not the absence of questions—it is trust in the midst of them. Romans 8:37-39 reminds us of an unshakable truth: nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Not death or life. Not angels or demons. Not the present or the future. Not even our seasons of uncertainty. Doubt often surfaces when we want certainty about the unseen. We long for proof, reassurance, and clarity before fully surrendering. But faith requires trust beyond what we can explain. Hebrews 11:1 describes faith as confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. There is a difference between honest wrestling and hardened unbelief. Honest wrestling leans in. It asks, What does this teach me about God? It searches Scripture not to control God, but to know Him more deeply. Doubt can become a doorway. When approached with humility, it pushes us to examine what we believe and why. It strips away shallow assumptions and invites deeper trust. The goal is not to figure God out completely—that is impossible—but to know His character well enough to trust Him even when answers are incomplete. God is not threatened by your questions. He is not intimidated by your uncertainty. He welcomes sincere seekers. And when doubt drives you toward Him instead of away from Him, it becomes a refining tool rather than a destructive force. You may not have every answer. But you can rest in this assurance: you are secure in Christ. Main Takeaways Doubt is not the enemy of faith; avoidance and isolation are. Faith involves trusting God even without complete understanding. Scripture invites honest wrestling and deeper inquiry. Nothing—not even doubt—can separate you from God’s love. Asking what doubt teaches about God can strengthen intimacy with Him. Today’s Bible Verse No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:37-39 Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “In my uncertainty, help me trust Your character and draw closer to You.” Listen to the full prayer here.

Operation: Epic Fury is underway and dominating the news. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we helped you understand this latest conflict from a biblical perspective. Our guests, including Tom Doyle, Hormoz Shariat, Lana Silk and Al Fadi, helped us better understand Iran, its people and what is driving the radical Islamic beliefs that have crippled the nation for decades. Our guests explained why the Iranian people around the world are celebrating this military action and why it is creating an open door for the spread of the gospel. Dr. Arnie Cole, the CEO of Back to the Bible shared the results of a study that shows increased bible sales is not adding up to transformed lives and what believers need to do about it. Dr. Mitch Glaser of Chosen People Ministries explained a new survey that shows strong support from evangelicals for the people of Israel, despite what we are hearing in the popular media. Shawn Wicks joined Janet to give answers to false assumptions about the bible that is creating confusion for people who say that this ancient document just can’t stand up to scrutiny and life in our modern world. The need to see the world through a biblical perspective is never more apparent than in times like these where decisive military action is reshaping the lands of biblical history. We encourage you to join us once again as we examine the historic events of this week through the lens of scripture.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most people don't quit because God told them to move. They quit because something invisible made them uncomfortable. In this message, Pastor TJ Tyus breaks down the one principle that determines whether you drift through life or stay rooted in what actually matters: Priority over Preference = Stability. When preference wins, you drift. When priority wins, you remain. You'll learn: → Why you keep making the right moves for the wrong reasons → How invisible "music" (pressure, comparison, feelings, culture) pulls you out of your assignment → The real reason you can't stay committed — and it's not willpower → How to decide before the pressure shows up → Why staying seated is not passive, it's the most active thing you can do Rosa Parks didn't stay seated because she was tired physically. She said: "I was tired of giving in." This message will challenge you to stop giving in to preference and start living from priority — in your health, your relationships, your faith, and your future.

Insecurity is something many women wrestle with, but what does Scripture actually say about it? In this episode, we explore how insecurity often reveals a deeper issue of self-focus. Looking at examples from the Bible, we'll see how people responded when God called them and how God answered their excuses. If you've ever struggled with self-doubt or feeling inadequate, this conversation will help reframe insecurity through a biblical lens and point you back to where your focus belongs.

Message by Chris Brown on March 7, 2026. Have you ever felt like there was a sharp disconnect between the God of the Bible, who is supposed to be all-loving, and the way He seems to act? Today, we get a passage with an incredibly rude and intolerant Jesus that seems to go against this idea of a totally loving God. Only if we stick with this until the end will we all get the answer that we are hoping for.

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! In this episode for March 7th, Hunter invites us on day 66 of our journey through scripture. Together, we'll explore key passages from Deuteronomy 5 and 6, Psalm 43, and Mark 14. Hunter helps us reflect on the foundational moments when Moses recounts God's commandments to Israel, the psalmist's longing for God's presence, and the powerful, sobering scenes leading up to Jesus' betrayal and crucifixion. As your Bible reading coach, Hunter weaves together these texts to reveal timeless truths about God's love, human frailty, and the radical invitation to participate in Christ's self-giving, forgiving love. This episode also includes moments of guided prayer and encouragement to let God's joy be your strength in daily life. Whether you're listening at home or on the go, you'll be reassured of one thing—"You are loved, full stop." Join us and let these words of life shape your heart, renew your hope, and lead you deeper into God's story. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We are all guilty of betrayal. Peter, Judas, all the disciples—even you and I—have in common this: despite our best intentions and strongest resolves, we have fallen away, betrayed with our words, our actions, sometimes even with a kiss. Isaiah says, all we like sheep have gone astray; we've left God's path to follow our own. That's the story not just of the disciples but of humanity. Each of us has reached for that fruit of deceit, separating ourselves from the source of our life, straying in ways large and small from the One who loves us. But Jesus steps into this place of failure and separation. He takes the cup—the cup that for him means suffering and death, the cup of bitter sorrow—and he transforms it. It's a cup filled with his blood, shed for the world, for you and for me. And in that act of self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love, Jesus draws us into life. He defeats death not with violence or retribution, but with his own surrender and love. He drinks down the cup of suffering so that he might hand us the cup of life—a life that invites us to participate with him in that same self-giving, forgiving, co-suffering love. We, who have freely received, are now invited to freely give. We are called not just to receive his forgiveness, but to live out that love, to be people shaped by radical hospitality, mercy, and hope. Let's learn these ways. Let us practice the rhythm of receiving his love and sharing that love with the world. That is my prayer for myself, for my family, and for you: that together, we would enter ever more deeply into the life Christ offers—self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love—for our neighbor, our enemy, and ourselves. 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

Numbers 28-30

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260307dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.” Genesis 12:1-2 Making a Name for Yourself More than one has dreamed of it. Some have been lured by its promise. Others have cursed its lack of fulfillment. We call it many different things: “making it,” “success,” “winning.” Striving for it is as American as Mom and apple pie. It all comes down to making a name for yourself. People have gone about it in different ways, from getting an advanced degree to destroying personal relationships. “How much do you want it?” seems to be the strategy of success. Abram was already a success in the eyes of the world. He was married and wealthy. Then God changed everything. God promised Abram even more. God promised Abram a name so great that generations would remember it. Abram believed God’s promise, left his home, and went to a land he had never been to before. God makes a promise to you, too. His promise is that your name will be great—maybe not here on this earth, but certainly in the roles of heaven. God will make your name great, too. How much do you want it? Believe in Jesus. Abram did. That’s the way God marks success. Prayer: Savior, may your promises fill my heart with eager anticipation to see your glory forever in heaven. Amen.

A FIFTH COLUMN of conservative influencers is fracturing the base of support for President Trump by pushing ideas from the man called “Putin's brain.”  Aleksandr Dugin had hoped President Trump would lead the United States into a multipolar world. Instead, Trump's willingness to use the United States military to achieve specific goals in Iran, namely, regime change and the prevention of the Islamic Republic obtaining nuclear weapons, has shattered that vision.  Meanwhile, podcasters like Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and others are, whether they realize it or not, pushing Dugin's worldview on their viewers—specifically, a philosophy that blames Zionists for all of the world's evils. Candace Owens has gone so far as to call for active duty military personnel to leave their posts rather than die for Israel. The contention by the four mentioned above is that war with Iran was pushed on President Trump by Benjamin Netanyahu and Zionists within his cabinet.  It remains to be seen whether the Iranian people throw off the fundamentalist Islamic regime. If this happens, it not only changes the face of the Middle East, but it strikes a blow at the energy security of China – something that was already seriously affected by the removal of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.  Also: islamists now control the United Kingdom.

Num 8:1-9:23, Mark 13:14-37, Ps 50:1-23, Pr 10:29-30

What actually separates Catholic and Protestant belief, and does it still matter? In this Hot Topic teaching, Pastor Russell Howard walks through four major areas where Catholicism and evangelical Christianity converge and diverge, covering the canon of Scripture, the authority of the Bible alone, the veneration of Mary and the saints, and the nature of justification before God. At the heart of the conversation is one defining question: is Christ's work on the cross a finished act or a contribution to an ongoing process? Whether you grew up Catholic, left the faith, or simply want to understand what you believe and why, this teaching gives you a biblical framework to think clearly and speak charitably.

It's not a stretch to say lots of people have allowed their smartphones to become addictions, and often far too much time is spent looking at, scrolling through, texting, and otherwise being occupied with those smartphones. When was the last time you left home without your phone? Our phones have become an absolute necessity, a near-constant attachment in our lives. Anywhere you go—in line for coffee, sitting in a waiting room, stopped at a red light, walking on the street—near everyone is looking down at their phones. But can you really call that an idol? After all, these smartphones are handy, and they can be great time-savers. But at some point this helpful tool can and often does have us at its mercy. We don't control it; it controls us. And for Christ-followers we need to understand the enemy of our soul will use anything he can to cause us to pay attention to and spend time with anything other than the Lord. For Christians, idolatry is anything that causes such a strong attachment in our lives—such as a strong habit—that without realizing it, we become addicted. In the case of phones, it's not that we're addicted to it but to the attention it demands of us—the attention that we choose to give it. Our smartphones demand so much of our attention, we may allow it to become not just a useful tool, but a demanding and controlling habit of devotion, and that can start to interfere with our devotion to Jesus Christ. I read once that people do not drift toward holiness. Our sinful natures, combined with the sneaky attacks from our enemy, can easily push us away from the Lord, and without intending to, we find ourselves devoted to something or someone more than to our Lord. Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us the heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? The warning of scripture is that unless we seek the Lord regularly—daily—for help, then we are opening ourselves to idolatries of the heart and mind. When you think about it, what we pay attention to determines what we think about, and that begins to take over the focus of our lives. Something as small as a smartphone can cause us to think more and give more attention to anything other than things of God. These aren't necessarily bad things, but distractions that take up our time and thoughts. If you pay little attention to the important relationships of your life they will suffer. Being attentive to a person—listening, caring, conversing with them—is how we build strong relationships. As we spend more and more time on our phones, doesn't this interfere with our relationships and create barriers and hindrances to healthy relationships? And the same is true with our relationship with God. If we don't spend time with him and give attention to his Word, to prayer, to fellowship, that can lead to a decline in our devotion to God and to obedience to his Word. We love what we give attention to. I doubt there has ever been any one single development that has grabbed humans worldwide like the smartphone has. I mean, how many apps do you have on your phone? And what is their purpose? To seize your time and attention. To cause you to want something you don't have. To allow wrong worldviews and wrong information to fill up your mind. Who could ever have predicted the impact smartphones are having on people everywhere. I read an article that said, “If an idol is anything that takes our attention and love away from the one true God, then the mass-produced, internet-connected devices in our hands are among the most insidious idols history has known.”[1] As believers, should we just get rid of our smartphones? Is that the answer to its control over us. Well, let's see what Jesus said, and yes, he had something to say about smartphones. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell (Matthew 5:29 – 30). Did Jesus mean to literally gouge out our eye or cut off our hand? No, but he uses very strong words here to show we should take whatever drastic action might be necessary for us to break the sins that bind us, the things that are taking our attention away from the Lord and causing us to stumble. If our phones have become a stumbling block in our lives spiritually, we need to do whatever is necessary to take down that idol. In Exodus 34:14, we read: Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Of course, this is not jealousy the way we tend to think of it today. God simply demands exclusive love and devotion from us as his children. When we worship anything else, when anything becomes more important than God, it is an idol in our lives. This is spiritual adultery. God's jealousy is holy, different from our petty human jealousy, because he desires the best for us and knows that idols will rob us of his peace and joy and our fellowship with him. If our smartphones—or anything or anyone else—begin to take our mind off things of the Lord, take time away from reading the Bible, keep us from praying like we should, God is jealous of those things because he knows we're going in the wrong direction. I doubt many Christians have ever thought about their phones as potential idols. So, how can we recognize signs that our phones have become an idol? Well, it begins with an honest assessment of how addicted you might be to your phone. Does it continually interfere with family time? Do you spend as much time with your children as you do on your phone? If you can't find your phone, take a moment to notice how upset you are in the moment. Pay attention to how much stress your phone brings into your life. Count the number of times you pick up it for no good or immediate reason—just because you haven't looked at it in the last few minutes. My guess is if I asked most believers if their phone has become an idol, they would insist that it has not. They would tell me how much they need it for business, for important communications, for safety even. But an honest assessment—paying attention to how you use the phone, how emotionally connected you are to it, how it demands your time—might reveal much more of an addition than you realized. Taking an honest assessment requires that we really want to know about anything handicapping our spiritual growth; anything that has become obsessive or addictive. It begins with an attitude of submission to God in all things and a desire to please him. If you find yourself rebelling against the idea that you could have a phone idol or any other kind of idol in your life or if you are immediately defensive about it, that might reveal that you just don't want to deal with it. I can tell you from my own life there have been and still probably are some small areas where I just don't want to face the music. I don't want to change, for whatever reason. When your defenses go up, and you refuse to look at the control the smartphone may have in your life, this is tell-tale sign you've allowed it to become an idol. Next, pray about it; ask God to show you how he feels about the time you spend and the way you use your smartphones. If there's a problem, the Holy Spirit is faithful to convict us, and I think we all can recognize that convicting, uneasy spirit in our hearts. God never deals with us in guilt, but he certainly convicts us of things in our lives that don't please him. If we don't confess and forsake them, then it turns to guilt, shame, and miserableness! Do yourself a favor: confess your phone idolatry as a sin and tell God you want to change. Then tell somebody what you've done; make yourself accountable to someone you can trust. And keep praying about it every day. In 1 John 5:21, we read: Dear children, keep yourselves from idols. You can't be much clearer than that. It is our responsibility to keep ourselves from idols. When we don't, we're living in disobedience. That means you will need to take some intentional steps toward changing your relationship with your smartphone, if indeed it has become an idol by taking your time and attention away from God and other more important matters. Here are some suggestions about changing your habits and fighting phone idolatry. Use your phone only at certain times of the day for designated purposes. There's no question it can be an effective tool for getting information, communicating clearly, and saving time in many ways. Use it for the good it offers and then work toward having some phone-free time every day—not just a couple of minutes but hours. I promise you, the world will not stop revolving. Your company or organization will survive; those friends or family who are trying to reach you can wait a bit. Screen-free times need to be put in place and make them known to those who need to know. Let me strongly encourage you not to pick your phone up first thing in the morning. Wait until you've had time to pray and read God's Word. Make that the first thing you do, rather than looking at your phone. And this may sound weird, but I suggest you don't read your Bible from your phone—not for that morning time with Jesus. Hold a Bible in your hands; highlight what speaks to you, make notes in the margins, write in a journal. It's nice to have the Bible on your phone when a Bible is not near later in the day, but I strongly urge you to put God's Word in your hands first thing in your day. That will be hard for some people, but I really believe it will make a difference. Your day is won or lost in the morning hours; start your day off right. Let your phone sit unanswered for the first hours of your day. Let me close this discussion by reminding you that spending time with God is sweeter and better than anything you'll get from your phone. The love of God is better than any other love, and you need to continually remind yourself just how much God loves you. Spend time doing that, meditating on God's goodness to you, thanking him for all your many blessings, and casting your cares on him, because he cares for you. Make your phone your servant, not your idol. Use it for good and refuse to let it steal your joy and your peace. — [1] McCracken, B. (2025, December 11). How to Fight Your Phone Idolatry.
