How is salvation portrayed throughout the Bible-- Listen to this message to learn that from the beginning, as illustrated by the Flood and then the Passover, salvation has always been by trusting in God and His Word. See how both the Flood and the Passover were pictures of Christ's death on the Cross for man's sin and that all anyone has to do is believe in Him for salvation. Find out the claims Jesus made about Himself and how He conquered death when He rose from the grave.

In today's program, I'm going to share three listener responses to recent episodes. I'm doing so because your words matter to me, and to our other listeners, as well. Keep listening, and you'll pick up an idea or two to try with your relationships. Be sure to stick around to the end to hear a story of how a listener applied what she heard in one of our recent shows that made a difference in her life. But before we get into today's episode, here's what this podcast is all about. Welcome to You Were Made for This If you find yourself wanting more from your relationships, you've come to the right place. Here you'll discover practical principles you can use to experience the life-giving relationships you were made for. I'm your host, John Certalic, award-winning author and relationship coach, here to help you find more joy in the relationships God designed for you. A listener responds to “The Underachievers Bible Reading Plan for 2023.” The first listener response I'm sharing is in reference to episode 193, “ The Underachievers Bible Reading Plan for 2023.” It comes from Randy, a listener from Pittsburgh. He writes: “Good morning John, I listened this morning to this week's You Were Made for This. I appreciated how you described an approach to engaging with scripture. It reminded me of what I've been doing for the last year, since bringing Tiana into our family. (Tiana is their new family dog) As I am reading passages, I place a mark when I've completed a section. I also have my stack of prayer cards I use as my bookmark. “ Thanks for your feedback, Randy. I should add that in the show notes for that week's episode, I included a photo of me reading the Bible, with our new cat, Father Patrick O'Malley, sitting on my lap. So I think that may have reminded Randy of doing the same thing with their dog. And good luck with your new pal, Randy! Words matter in the Bible - Listen, rather than read them Another listener, Darlene, also offered her take on the same episode about Bible reading. She offered a different approach that I will have to try. Darlene writes, “This is the second year I've been doing the Daily Audio Bible (DAB) with Brian, Jill, and their daughter, China Hardin. Last year I decided to listen to the chronological reading with Jill and China. That was my first chronological experience. Very interesting. We didn't get to the New Testament until October. “This year I am doing the read-through with Brian Hardin who reads portions of the OT, NT, PS, and PROV each day. He is excellent with his brief overviews after each daily reading. What I also like is that every week he reads from a different translation. “I think I've read through the Bible once. It is a challenge not to get behind. The audio is great as I can play it each morning while getting ready.” Thank you, Darlene, for your comments about reading the 66 books of the Bible in chronological order, and also for the idea of listening to an audio version of the Bible. I'll have a link to the Daily Audio Bible near the end of the show notes. It includes a free app for your mobile device and a web player for your computer. How words matter to this listener The last listener feedback I'm sharing with you today comes from Rosy Scott in response to episode 192, “Word of the Year for 2023 - Read” As I read her comments, you'll see how words matter a great deal to her. Listen to the impact they had on her recently. Rosy writes, “John, “I really like the simplicity of your word of the year. In past years I've chosen a motivating word, but within months could not even remember what I had picked. “I listened to this episode twice in the past two days and have landed on my own simple word for 2023. This year I am choosing ‘words' for my own word of the year. “Words are a renewable resource that cost me so little to share. When I am generous with them, they often brighten my own soul as much as the recipient. “It is surprising how often taking a chance and offering the gift of words brings a positive result far greater than the painless effort. “Words have the power to give life and cause pain. I have experienced both this year and can testify that when I share words of kindness, there is no better medicine for my own wounds or loneliness. Words matter with strangers “Just this morning as I began a morning jog down a familiar street, an unexpected stranger waved. Then she called out to me with a smile ‘enjoy your run!' “Those simple but generous words fueled me to stop two blocks later to talk for just a minute with another person I've occasionally seen walking her 3-legged dog for the last many months. “Thanks to words, both of us parted with smiles in our hearts as those easy sixty seconds, combined with some previously shared words, pointed us toward potential friendship. “Thanks to your words John, I am going to be more intentional about using words to connect with both strangers and friends. “And thanks to lessons I learned the hard way in 2022, treat words with the healthy fear and respect they deserve. “Perhaps 2023 will become my year to use words for healing and repair, instead of destruction which comes so much easier than I am often willing to admit. Until the damage has already been done. “Thank you for your generosity with words via your podcast and weekly email! Blessings to you in the coming year…” And thank you, Rosy, for your beautifully written words. I love the examples you give of their power to bless people. May you, and the rest of us, hear kind, empowering, and compassionate WORDS spoken to us this year. And may we speak these same kinds of words ourselves to others who need to hear them. Here's the main takeaway I hope you remember from today's episode Words matter. Our words to others and their words to us. They have the power to bless or destroy. Be careful what we speak, hear, and read. Use them wisely and with care to bless others and ourselves. Treasure the truth we find in them. Closing Before we wrap up today's show, if you'd like some input regarding a relationship question or issue you're dealing with, I'd love to hear from you.

We are wrapping up our summer sermon series entitled "No! That's Not in the Bible". We have been exploring different quips and sayings that often get attributed to the Bible when they are either severely misquoted or misunderstood, or they are not in the Bible altogether. It was a lot of fun. This week, Pastor Karl Shaw closes our series with the phrase "Listen to your heart". She discusses how our emotions can be fickle and self-oriented and, although they are given by God, we must first submit ourselves to the Lord before our heart can be trusted. Passage: Jeremiah 17:9; Psalm 37:4 We now have three worship opportunities for you to experience. We have our Sanctuary Service ("blended") at 9am. Our Online Service begins at 9:30am at pointlomachurch.org. And our Chapel Service ("modern") starts at 10:30am. Please consider joining us for one of these services.

Ever wonder why we should study the Bible? Listen as Pastor Shannon takes us through why we should take seriously our study of the Word of God.
Sorry, but i Have to Behead you. Matt 14:1"It is not lawful". Yikes. Just try saying that to a guy who in his mind, MAKES THE LAW.We see here a chess match that is won by Herod's wife Herodias. Because of God's law, she is referred to as still being married to Herod's brother. Then there is some dancing by a young step daughter that causes promises to be made before lots of guests at a birthday party. The curtain comes down quickly as John the Baptist is immediately beheaded. Why is this in the Bible? Listen and wonder with me.
They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. (1 Timothy 3:9) Clear Conscience The hardest thing for Christians who take the Bible seriously is to keep their conscience clear. To keep what they believe. To survive the onslaughts of the world. To maintain a faithful witness to Jesus no matter what. Society wants to pressure Christians into accepting non-Christian and anti-Christian ideas into their beliefs. One who holds the idea that "all roads lead to Heaven" cannot "with a clear conscience" govern the Church. One who holds the idea that Jesus died on the cross only to give us an example of selfless love cannot "with a clear conscience" govern the Church. How do you keep a clear conscience? Be addicted to the Word. Don't listen to the outside influences that try to drive us away from the true faith. What does God say in the Bible? Listen to Him. He's the One to whom you will have to answer on the Last Day. Amen.
