In this episode, I'm joined by Ward Sanford to discuss his series on Jerusalem through the writings of first-century historian Josephus. We explore Josephus as an eyewitness to the Jewish War, the destruction of Jerusalem, and what his historical accounts reveal about life in the city during one of the most pivotal moments in biblical history. Together, we examine how Josephus' records help illuminate the cultural, political, and religious climate of Jerusalem, how his testimony intersects with Scripture, and why understanding this historical context strengthens our confidence in the biblical narrative. This conversation offers valuable insight for anyone interested in church history, biblical worldview, and the reliability of Scripture.

And why is America expected to stay tied at the hip with Israel, no matter the cost to our own citizens?And are all of these things somehow connected?Let's break down the layers of corruption, the political cowardice protecting the powerful, and the urgent need for transparency, accountability, and national independence.--https://www.bible.com/

Science confirms the truth we are given in Genesis 2:15—that Adam is designed to shape and protect the garden. Since Adam and Eve's sin brought Satan, sin, and destruction into the garden, all our efforts to shape our lives and culture in righteousness are opposed by this triumvirate. We must fight, in the power of Christ, for every inch of ground. Today we examine a powerful WEAPON for this fight: prayer. But viewing prayer as a weapon for fighting is probably NOT what most men think of prayer as being for. They see prayer as praise to God, confession to God, thankfulness to God, requesting God's help for those grieving or having surgery. But rarely do we see prayer used the way Paul tells us in Eph 6”18 it is to be used: as an act of war. And when men understand this dimension of prayer, prayer moves from being a guilt-producing obligation to becoming a life-changing thrill! Could that happen in your prayer life? Yes, and that is our goal in this episode. For Further Prayerful Thought: Why do think Christians don't see prayer more as a weapon?What is wrong with saying that after the resurrection, Jesus left this world to go back to heaven and be with God?What does Jesus want Christians to during this stage of salvation history, between his ascension to God's right hand and his final return?Why is it important, that Jesus prefaced his command to make disciples of all nations with, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me, Therefore…”? For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)

Do rising costs, growing debt, or job uncertainty make it hard to feel hopeful? In this deeply comforting episode of Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Prayer Podcast, Reverend Ben Cooper leads you in a powerful five-minute prayer devotional rooted in Philippians 4:19:“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”This is not just a promise—it's a lifeline. If your heart feels heavy with financial pressure, this prayer will help lift the burden by focusing your faith on God's provision—not your paycheck.Biblical Insight & Spiritual Reflection:Reverend Cooper reminds us that God's economy is not limited by worldly systems.

From paying the bills to keeping food on the table, our Provider sees every need—and already has the answer prepared.This episode is a timely reminder that God doesn't just meet our needs—He goes above and beyond. His supply is wrapped in grace, not performance. Whether you're a single parent trying to make ends meet, a working professional facing unexpected costs, or a retiree stretched thin by rising expenses, this devotional prayer speaks directly to you.Why This Episode Matters:It's a daily Christian prayer devotional built for real-life strugglesOffers biblical encouragement grounded in Philippians 4:19Helps shift focus from fear to faithSupports mental and spiritual well-being through guided prayerPart of a consistent, prayer-filled podcast to uplift your walk with ChristCall to Action:If this episode has spoken to your heart, please consider supporting our listener-funded ministry.

He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna…” (Deuteronomy 8:2-3, NIV). This scripture reminds us that God uses struggles to deepen our trust and dependence on Him, teaching us that spiritual growth often comes from the most difficult circumstances. Overcoming life's trials with faith allows us to align ourselves with God's plan, which is greater than our challenges.Turning Trials into Opportunities for Spiritual GrowthLife's deserts are not just physical spaces; they are spiritual tests that refine our faith. Christians around the world face different struggles—whether it's poverty, illness, emotional pain, or loss—but the call to trust God in all circumstances remains universal. In this episode, Reverend Ben shares personal stories about how faith in God's promises can transform our trials into opportunities for spiritual renewal. Turning struggles into spiritual growth is essential for a deeper connection with God.Biblical Insight on Overcoming Trials“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” (James 1:2-3, NIV). This passage affirms that faith refined through challenges leads to a deeper, more resilient relationship with God. It reminds us that spiritual growth during struggles produces perseverance and a stronger connection to Christ.Aligning Our Lives with God's WordAs we journey through life's challenges, aligning our lives with God's word becomes the key to peace and spiritual growth.

An initial four-day cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas took effect this morning in Gaza. At this writing, there have been no reports of fighting for several hours, and sixty trucks carrying aid have entered Gaza from Egypt. With the looming threat of WWIII and other global fears you may be facing, it can be difficult to “give thanks in all circumstances,” as the Bible says. But for Thanksgiving to be a daily lifestyle rather than an annual holiday, we have to learn to give thanks every day, including our hardest days.  Author: Jim Denison, PhD Narrator: Chris Elkins Subscribe: http://www.denisonforum.org/subscribe Read The Daily Article: https://www.denisonforum.org/daily-article/cease-fire-in-israel-hamas-war-has-taken-effect/ Denison Forum is currently running a flash sale of 40% off on one of our most popular resources: full sets of our Biblical Insight to Tough Questions series.

Jesus said, “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars.” So when terrorists strike, missiles are fired, and ground wars begin in the Middle East, it's easy to question whether the end times are coming. To add to our anxiety, the words surrounding how Christians discuss the end times are daunting: Eschatology. Premillennialism. Postmillennialism. Dispensationalism. Replacement theology. What do they mean? Do they all have the same importance? Should we care about them today? In this episode of The Denison Forum Podcast, Dr. Jim Denison and his son Dr. Ryan Denison join Dr. Mark Turman for an insightful discussion on end-times thinking as it relates to the ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza. In the end—whenever the end truly may come—let's remember how Jesus completed his statement on the rumors of wars: “See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place” (Matthew 24:6). Topics (01:24): One month into the war, what's going on in Israel? (06:24): What is eschatology? And why does it matter in the Middle East right now? (09:10): Why do many American Christians hold to a dispensational view of the end times? (16:07): Is having a right eschatology a primary doctrine of Christianity? (22:55): Is Israel our key indictor of the end times coming? (26:24): Are Israelites still God's people? (31:03): Are Christians too focused on predicting the end times? (34:53): Why the end times matter for you right now (40:40): Closing prayer Resources Transcript (PDF) Is the conflict in Israel a sign of the end times? Are we living in the end times?

When your children ask hard questions about conflict in the Middle East, what will you say? Parents and grandparents may feel overwhelmed and underprepared when it comes to talking about the ongoing crisis in Israel, but children are still affected by what they see and hear—and they often see and hear much more than we think, especially in our media-saturated culture. So how much should you share? How can you educate yourself on the conflict to speak confidently about it? To speak biblically about it? And how can we encourage our children to make a difference where they live even when war seems so far away? Steph Thurling, Executive Director of Christian Parenting, talks with Denison Ministries CEO Dr. Jim Denison. Together, they offer keen biblical insight and practical ways to talk about this crisis with your children and grandchildren.

Article Description  Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's dating relationship continues to generate headlines in stark contrast to news that directly affects us, such as the aversion of the government shutdown and America's growing frustration with inflation and slow economic growth. Americans want to be “inspired by a new, optimistic future,” but this won't begin with secular culture. It must begin with spiritual rebirth, and that must begin with us as Christians.

Christian, how now shall you vote? America is more divided and hostile along political lines and tribes than ever before.

THE DAILY ARTICLE FOR AUGUST 29, 2019 Hurricane Dorian spared Puerto Rico the worst of its wrath but leaves behind an island still struggling to recover from Hurricane Maria two years ago. Today's podcast discusses our Father's love for all who suffer and calls us to pray for his heart. SEND US YOUR QUESTIONS As evidenced by the popularity of our book series Biblical Insight to Tough Questions, the Denison Forum audience has many questions about living biblically in a culture that is largely opposed to that stance. So far, we've released three volumes. We plan to release more—and that's where you come in. What's your question? Starting today, we will be taking your questions via email to questions@denisonforum.org.  While not every question will be addressed, the questions we choose will be answered in resources on our website and in future volumes of Biblical Insight to Tough Questions. Praying through, researching, and writing these biblical insights is one of my favorite tasks. I look forward to reading your questions and diving deeply into the well of biblical truth that can help us all make sense of living out our faith in the twenty-first century. Send your question to questions@denisonforum.org today. ABOUT THE DENISON FORUM The Daily Article is a daily biblical commentary on the news of the day by Dr. Jim Denison.

THE DAILY ARTICLE FOR AUGUST 2, 2019 Mario Lopez first became famous for his role as A.C. Slater on the show Saved by the Bell. He has since carved out a solid career as the co-host of Access Hollywood and is a go-to for many people on understanding Hollywood trends as a result.  However, after comments he made in June on The Candace Owens Show resurfaced, Lopez has been in the news for a very different reason.  While on the show, Owens brought up the trend among many celebrities to allow their children to pick their own gender. Lopez replied, "I just think it's dangerous as a parent to make that determination then." The LGBTQ+ backlash was vocal and swift. Given that the Bible speaks far more definitively than Lopez regarding the fallacies inherent to much of the transgender movement, those of us who choose to believe the word of Scripture on this subject should not be surprised when we face opposition.  So how should we respond when there appears to be so little room for genuine dialogue?
