In John 4 we read about an encounter that Jesus had with a lady at a well in Samaria. Prior to this we learn that the religious elite wouldn't even enter into Samaria due to their prejudices. The question we must ask ourselves is, are my prejudices limited my ability to live holy and to offer hope to the world?

"Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat" (Rudyard Kipling). Tim and Mary take on another news cycle, as Summer gives way to Fall. What will the new season bring, regarding the Middle East and the falling West? There may not be a lot of commentary in the week after Labor Day, but things done under the sun are never "done". Today we talk about the very real potential for famine following the reported collapse of bee colonies in the West. The Bible has some pretty dire warnings about this in Revelation 6. Also on the agenda, the changes in the UK on a civilizational level. How long till what is turning into utter tyranny over there, will we see such brazen, unlawful censorship here in the States? Probably just one presidential election away. We take a look at the Vatican's LGBTQ embrace, and why is it that they speak out of both sides of their mouths on this lifestyle, and try to appear to condone it? Yes, East and West will, according to the Bible, become one big happy dictatorship in the end, but God will bring both together for judgment after the sin of the earth-dwellers is full. East and West shall meet. Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together through the Scriptures every day. In today's episode, host Hunter invites you to the third day of September—day 247 in our year-long adventure through God's Word. We find ourselves steeped in powerful passages from Ezekiel 20 and 21, Psalm 11, and Revelation 8, exploring themes of rebellion, judgment, and above all, God's unwavering love and justice. As the story unfolds, we hear about Israel's persistent straying and God's profound mercy, the sobering vision of judgment, and the psalmist's reminder that—even as terror and the sword are prophesied—our hope and safety are found in the Lord. The episode moves from somber warnings to a vibrant assurance: God's dream isn't destruction, but a world made new, humanity reconciled, and shalom restored through Jesus. Along the way, listeners are encouraged to pause in awe before the Lamb, practice faith through silence and worship, and remember that, no matter what we face, we are deeply loved. So, take a breath, open your heart to today's readings, and join the global DRB family as we draw near to God together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Terror and the Sword—And the Face of God. How sobering it all is, the prophet cries “Tear, tear, tear”—the sound of the eagle's warning. And again, “A sword, a sword, a sword,” proclaims Ezekiel, as judgment comes upon the world's rebellion against God. This is a hard and honest picture—one in which the world's great rebellion exhausts itself in its own fury, and where God, in justice, brings the rebellion to an end. The prophets give us this clear message: a world bent on violence, on idolatry, on turning from the Lord, must one day face a reckoning. But before we despair over the terror and the sword and the brokenness described by the prophets, the psalmist speaks: “The righteous Lord loves justice. The virtuous will see his face.” God desires a relationship, face to face. He's not a God intent on destruction, but a God intent on drawing his people close to himself. Yet, our violence, pride, and idolatry have separated us from him—have blinded us to his face. In love and in justice, God has made a way for us to meet him as we are and as he is. When the Lamb breaks the seventh seal, all heaven falls silent. There's awe in the recognition of the coming terrors, yes, but there's also an invitation: to trust in the Lord for protection. The psalmist asks, “Why do you say to me, fly like a bird to the mountains for safety?” Our true place of refuge is not in fleeing from the world's danger, but in flying to Christ himself—to Calvary, “the mountain of safety.” It's there that the Lamb of God absorbed all violence and judgment at the hands of his rebellious creation. There, he did not strike out in vengeance, but stretched out his hands in forgiveness. By his self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love, he extinguished the power of death and the grave and began making all things new. So we are invited to remain in awe, to stand in silence at the wonder of the Lamb's sacrifice—the one who offered himself for the world. God's dream is not endless destruction, but a world restored, humanity awakened to the fullness of life and shalom, reconciled and made new. Jesus has come to accomplish this: God's dream for you, and for all creation, will not fail. Paul saw the day when Christ is “all and in all”—he saw the dream come to completion. While the violence and darkness around us may be easy to see, God's dream requires our hearts to be trained in faith: to see what God sees, to believe what God has done, and to press forward into his promise. Let us fix our eyes on Christ, training our souls to know God face to face and to know his joy. Let us receive his peace, his joy, his forgiveness—and let us become ambassadors of this radically reconciling love. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Gracious and everlasting God, you have brought us through the shadow of night into the promise of a new day. You go before us with your mercy, sustain us by your grace and keep us from wandering paths of fear or pride. Let every word we speak and every step we take be formed by the goodness of Christ. O Lord, gather your people far and near. May every tribe and tongue come to know your peace. Let justice roll like a river and healing flow where there has been division. Pour out your spirit upon all flesh and bring us closer to the day when your kingdom comes in fullness through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.

Pastor Mike focuses on the dangers of mysticism within evangelicalism, which he considers a significant problem. Mike defines mysticism as receiving God's truth from internal, subjective sources like feelings, intuition, and personal revelations rather than from the external source of the Bible. He argues that human nature is totally depraved since Adam's fall, making internal impressions and feelings unreliable and untrustworthy. Mike champions the sufficiency and authority of Scripture, citing passages like 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Psalm 19 to support the idea that the Bible is the only true guide for life and godliness.

Are you truly satisfied, or always chasing more? This week we sit down with author Bobby Jamieson to talk about his book Everything Is Never Enough and the wisdom of Ecclesiastes. We'll unpack why your spouse can't be your joy, your job can't be your purpose, and your family can't give ultimate meaning. Real joy comes only from God; the giver, sustainer, and comforter. Anything else leaves us empty. Our hope is this conversation points you back to the only source who satisfies. Episode Highlights: We are searching the world for a satisfaction that only comes from Him. It's a crushing weight to expect our spouse to meet needs that only the Lord can meet. Desiring happiness and trying to create it will never work. A life of ease doesn't equal a life of joy. Marriage is a gift to be nurtured. It's daily decisions to care for, to provide for, to invest in your marriage. Quotes from Today's Episode: Happiness is a byproduct. If you just try to chase happiness directly, you're not really gonna get it. The world leaves us wanting. That eternity in our hearts is ultimately a longing for God. Only He can satisfy. Only He can fill our hearts. We are often tempted to seek that total good from our spouse. If you bring that expectation to your husband or wife, you will crush them. A lot of the joy of marriage arises as your laboring, as your communicating, as your toiling together. If you view all of life as a gift of God then you can give up that need for control. Marriage a whole lot of daily little kindnesses. Couples' Conversation Guide: When's the last time you thanked God for your spouse? Where do you find it difficult to enjoy your “lot”? When you consider your spouse, do you consider the fact they are a “gift” from the Lord? What's one way you can serve your spouse today?

Spiritual warfare doesn't always look like catastrophe, sometimes it looks like compromise, distraction, or slow drift. In this episode of Monday Meditations, we explore what it really means to “be watchful” in a world full of noise, confusion, and subtle lies.The enemy's strategy is rarely loud. It's quiet. Personal. Crafted to chip away at your identity, distort truth, and wear you down. But God hasn't left you defenseless.This episode is a reminder that you don't fight for victory, you fight from a place of triumph. You resist the enemy by staying rooted in the truth and surrender to the God who has already overcome.If you're feeling weary, distracted, or spiritually under pressure, this is your invitation to reset. To return. To hold the line. Not in your strength, but in His.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Matthew presents Jesus Christ as the Jesus as the Mashiach Nagid, the Messiah the King, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. It was written by a Jew, to Jews, about a Jew. This book of the Bible uses more Old Testament quotes than any other. The Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the saying of Jesus, including ten parables not found in any other Gospel. After first establishing the royal genealogy, he then goes on to focus on the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. Matthew uses the term "fulfilled" 82 times! Many scholars now believe that the Gospel was written before Paul's first imprisonment of 57-60 A.D., and that virtually all of the New Testament books were written before Jerusalem's destruction. This study contains 24 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 11-01-2006 Recorded: 2006

Today Mary brings her testimony to the table on our 2nd Testimony Tuesday. While every testimony is a series of divine appointments and God's revelation to the heart of someone, Mary has a historical context to widen the scope of God's providential ways. Tracing events from her great-grandmother to today, we see that God's ways are truly not ours. In the 2nd half of the podcast, we take a look at Malachi 3 and 4 and some of the most beautiful verses in the entire Bible. We talk about the books of God, and how our tears are recorded, showing us a God Who has great care and compassion for us. Once we get to the end of Malachi 4, prophetic utterances from God come to a halt, and we don't pick up the redemption story until Matthew 1, and a new epoch arrives with a song of "glory to God in the highest". What happened in that time frame? A lot, as we shall see, as we place it in historical context. A full hour looking at some of the more lovely things about this God we serve, in awe and wonder.

Is a supernatural “Joel's Army” really coming? We're dissecting this popular charismatic teaching and asking: What does the Bible actually say about Joel 2?For decades, some in the charismatic movement have preached about a coming “Joel's Army”—an elite end-times company of believers who will march in supernatural power and usher in the Kingdom. But is that really what Joel 2 teaches? In this episode of Remnant Radio, we put the Joel 2 Army teaching under the microscope. We'll trace its origins in the Latter Rain movement, how it spread through the Kansas City Prophets, and why it never appears in church history. Most importantly, we'll go back to the text of Joel to see whether Scripture supports the idea—or if it actually teaches something very different.Join us as we debunk this popular but problematic teaching and recover the true message of Joel: a call to repentance, a promise of restoration, and the outpouring of God's Spirit on all flesh.

The Bible teaches us that we only live once on this earth and that Jesus came to pay the price for us to live again with Him in Heaven. He promised that He would be coming back to take with Him all who are saved, but if He does not come back in our lifetime our earthly bodies will die. After that death, no matter how we die, the only way of living again with Him in Heaven is to be saved by His blood.
What does the Bible mean when it talks about “walking in the light”? Pastor Colin talks about two common misunderstandings.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where each day we journey through the pages of Scripture together. In today's episode—September 2nd, 2025—your Bible Reading Coach Hunter guides us through Ezekiel chapters 17 to 19 and Revelation chapter 7. Together, we explore the vivid riddles and prophetic songs of Ezekiel, reflecting on Israel's history, covenant, and the profound call to personal responsibility and transformation. Then, we move into Revelation, where a powerful vision unfolds: multitudes clothed in white, a symbol of those who have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and now worship before God's throne. Hunter unpacks the hope within these passages, reminding us that God's love brings newness, healing, and belonging for all who turn to Him. Along the way, Hunter invites listeners from around the world to share in prayer and encouragement, and offers a thoughtful reflection on God's enduring grace—no matter what joys or challenges a new month may bring. Settle in as we read, reflect, and discover what it means to be loved and renewed by the God who is love. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Who are these people dressed in white? And why does John take such care to describe them for us in Revelation 7? These are questions worth lingering with today. The scene John describes is breathtaking: a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before God's throne and before the Lamb. They are clothed in white robes, holding palm branches, and their voices ring out with one mighty shout: “Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne, and from the Lamb.” But where did these people come from? The answer comes from one of the elders around the throne: “These are the ones who died in the great tribulation. They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white.” They stand where they stand—not because of what they've done to cover themselves, but because of what Christ has done for them. They once were hungry and thirsty; now they are satisfied. They knew tears and sorrow; now every tear is wiped away. They once felt exposed and alone; now they are sheltered, known, and loved. Why them? Because they were willing to let go of their old garments—their efforts to cover shame, clothe themselves in reputation or piety, or hide their brokenness. Instead, they came before God as they truly were, and the Lamb did what only he can—he washed them clean, gave them new life, and clothed them in his righteousness. All their striving was set aside. They rested in Christ's finished work. That is why they are dressed in white, and that is why they shout with joy. This is a vision of hope for us, too. Wherever we come from, whatever burdens or brokenness we may carry, the invitation is the same: to let go of hiding, to wash our lives in the grace of the Lamb, and to receive the new song of his salvation. You, too, are invited to put on these clean, white robes and stand in the joy and freedom of being fully seen, fully loved, and fully forgiven. Let us step into this new life today. Let us discard the old clothes of shame and fear, and be robed in the love and acceptance of Christ. May the song of salvation rise within us—a song strong enough to carry us through every trial, every sorrow, every joy. That's the prayer I have for my own soul today. That's the prayer I have for my family: for my wife, my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the Beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters. Restore my soul, renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

The post The Christian faith without the Bible is not the Christian faith. appeared first on Key Life.
Some Christians are skeptical about empathy, mistakenly assuming that it coddles others and reinforces sinful behavior. Yet genuine empathy (even when we sin) helps us understand our struggles and strengthens us to grow in Christlikeness. Thankfully, loving and healthy empathy is modeled all over the Bible and not only comforts us but leads us toward truth and responsibility.Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi address concerns you might hear about empathy in some Christian circles. You'll discover fresh insights from the empathy scriptures they teach in their new book, Deeply Loved, and learn the importance of holding others in God's empathy while the Spirit draws them toward transformation.Resources for this Episode:Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for YouAttend a Soul Shepherding RetreatDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks
In this episode, Marcia Montenegro shares her journey from the New Age and occult practices to a life transformed by Christ. Marcia describes her years immersed in astrology, New Age teachings, and even teaching these practices, and how she witnessed the growing influence of New Age ideas in mainstream culture—from mindfulness and Reiki in hospitals to elements creeping into therapy and mental health modalities. She highlights the subtle ways these practices appear helpful or harmless, while often being spiritually dangerous. Marcia also reflects on cultural phenomena like the Twilight series, explaining how dark themes are glamorized and attract young people through curiosity, rebellion, or the allure of secret knowledge and community. Her own conversion story is compelling: despite being skeptical of a personal God, Marcia felt a profound encounter with God's love during a church service. This led her to give up astrology, explore the Bible, and ultimately recognize Jesus Christ as her Savior. She emphasizes God's grace, the power of prayer (including others praying for her before she even knew), and the life-changing simplicity of faith in Jesus. Takeaways: New Age practices like astrology, Reiki, and mindfulness have infiltrated mainstream culture, often appearing harmless. Dark themes in popular media, such as Twilight, attract young people through rebellion, curiosity, and the lure of secret knowledge. New Age and occult communities often draw people by offering belonging and empowerment. Some therapeutic practices, even Christian inner healing, can unknowingly incorporate New Age techniques like visualization.

In this insightful episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, host Heather Creekmore welcomes bestselling author, speaker, and Bible teacher Lisa Whittle to discuss her new book, Body and Soul, and the powerful concept of "whole body theology." Together, they delve into the intersection of faith and body image, explore what it means to have a biblical foundation for how we view our bodies, and confront the complicated journey many Christians face with body image and self-worth. Key Points & Takeaways: Whole Body Theology Defined:Lisa shares her journey into developing a “whole body theology” — a comprehensive, biblical belief system that addresses our entire personhood (body, soul, and spirit). This theology is designed to give believers a scriptural foundation for making body-related decisions, rather than relying solely on diet culture or secular self-esteem movements. The Need for a Biblical Approach:Both Heather and Lisa highlight the shortcomings of how the Church often compartmentalizes spiritual and physical health, or accidentally echoes secular body positivity without offering a theological alternative. Lisa asserts that lasting body image peace is grounded in spiritual transformation and discipleship, not just new diets or positive mantras. Personal Body Image Stories:Lisa vulnerably recounts her own "complicated" story with body image, including familial pressures, diet culture, and early struggles with eating disorders. She reveals how the truth of Scripture and God’s view of her body brought genuine freedom, something diets and cultural messages never provided. Discipleship Around Body Image:The conversation stresses the Church’s responsibility to disciple believers in whole body theology, integrating faith and embodied life. Lisa advocates for developing a framework where everyday choices with food, movement, rest, and even work are filtered through the lens of glorifying God. Misuse of Scripture in Body Image:Common verses like “your body is a temple” or “fearfully and wonderfully made” are often misapplied, leading to shame, diet obsession, or misunderstanding. True whole body theology digs deeper into Scripture for a holistic, grace-filled perspective rather than cherry-picking verses to fit societal standards. Rejecting Judgement & Assumptions:Both speakers caution against judging others' bodies from the outside or assuming someone's spiritual health by body size. Such partiality is unbiblical and harmful, and they call for more compassion and understanding within the Church community. Dangers of Diet and Body Positivity Culture:Lisa and Heather warn against simply swinging from diet culture to secular body positivity without a biblical root. They challenge listeners not to accept cultural solutions but to pursue God’s truth for genuine freedom and transformation. About Lisa’s Bible Study (Body and Soul):Lisa explains how her new six-week Bible study walks individuals or groups through the process of building a whole body theology. With videos, scripture dives, reflection questions, and practical steps, participants learn to draw their body beliefs from Scripture—not from culture. Practical Encouragements: Lasting body image freedom comes from aligning your beliefs about your body with God’s Word, not with fleeting diets or positive slogans. True discipleship includes how we steward, honor, and view our physical selves as integral to spiritual life. It’s time for the Church and its people to lead—not follow—in honest, compassionate, gospel-oriented conversations about body image.
