Also, as we have had the one year anniversary of the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, author and Charlie's friend Christy Edwards talks about her new book, "Charlie Kirk: In His Own Words."

In today's Biblical Alert Podcast, we expose the relentless battle for hearts and minds in a world saturated by messages competing for our attention. With global advertising spending projected to reach staggering heights, believers are reminded that the greatest message is not the world's marketing, but the life-changing truth of the Gospel.As we celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, we reflect on the freedoms secured by America's founding documents and the even greater freedom found in Christ. Hear a firsthand report from a recent outreach mission in New York City, where thousands of U.S. Constitutions, Declarations of Independence, and Gospel booklets were distributed across city streets, subways, malls, the U.S. Open, and the 9/11 Memorial.Drawing from Ephesians 5, this episode is a powerful call for Christians to awaken from spiritual complacency, walk wisely, redeem the time, and resist the deception of the world, the flesh, and the devil. The days are evil, but God's people are called to shine the light of truth and boldly share the hope of the Gospel.Awake. Arise. Walk wisely. Redeem the time. The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this episode of Today's Biblical Alert, the speaker explores the growing tendency to label difficult biblical topics as "political" rather than addressing them through the lens of Scripture. After a conversation with a veteran about faith, sin, and the state of the nation, the discussion turns to the difference between being patriotic and being political.The episode examines how some churches avoid controversial subjects by dismissing them as political issues, even when they involve clear biblical teachings. Using examples from church life, cultural changes, and the fading public understanding of events like 9/11, the speaker argues that Christians are called to stand firmly on God's Word regardless of public opinion.Drawing from passages such as 2 Timothy 4:2, Acts 20:27, and Matthew 28:20, this message challenges pastors, teachers, and believers to preach and practice the full counsel of God rather than avoiding uncomfortable truths. The central question is: Are we allowing culture to define what is political, or are we allowing Scripture to define what is biblical?Keywords: Christian living, biblical preaching, faith and culture, patriotism, church leadership, Bible teaching, current events, Christian worldview, Today's Biblical Alert.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

I Am DivorcedIn this episode of Today's Biblical Alert, a simple encounter at a local dump sparks a deeper discussion about truth, responsibility, and the lasting impact of divorce. After meeting a man who openly shared both his testimony of salvation and the fact that he had been divorced, the speaker reflects on why certain life experiences leave such a profound mark on a person's story.The message explores the Christian responsibility to proclaim the whole counsel of God, not merely the subjects people are comfortable discussing. Drawing from Acts 20 and the example of the Apostle Paul, this episode challenges believers, pastors, and churches to speak clearly and lovingly about biblical truth, including difficult topics such as divorce and remarriage.As society often adopts a "need to know" mentality regarding important issues, this episode reminds listeners that God's Word provides guidance on the very matters that affect homes, children, churches, and nations. The call is simple yet urgent: declare the truth, speak it in love, and faithfully share what God says about the challenges people face every day.Key Topics:Biblical teaching on divorce and remarriageThe lasting effects of divorce on families and communitiesThe Christian's responsibility to teach the whole counsel of GodSpeaking truth with clarity, conviction, and loveThe importance of addressing difficult biblical subjectsScripture Reference: Acts 20Today's Biblical Alert encourages believers to stand firmly on God's Word and faithfully declare, "Thus saith the Lord."The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this powerful episode of Biblical Alert, the host reflects on the life-changing events of September 11, 2001, sharing firsthand experiences from Washington, D.C. during the attacks and recounting the urgent journey to transport a stroke-stricken preacher across the country when all flights were grounded. Remembering the overwhelming display of American patriotism that united the nation in the aftermath of 9/11, he draws a parallel to the spiritual battles facing America today.The discussion examines concerns about modern political, cultural, and moral challenges, while calling Christians to remain steadfast in their faith. Emphasizing the transforming power of salvation through Jesus Christ, this message challenges believers to stand apart from worldly influences and visibly reflect the life-changing work of God in their daily lives. Just as patriotism was evident across America after 9/11, the host argues that authentic Christian faith should be unmistakable to those around us.Topics Covered:Personal memories and lessons from 9/11Faith, patriotism, and national identityContemporary challenges facing AmericaThe power of salvation through Jesus ChristLiving a transformed Christian lifeWhy believers should be visibly different from the worldA passionate and thought-provoking message encouraging Christians to boldly live out their faith and demonstrate the life-changing power of the Gospel.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

As America approaches the 25th anniversary of 9/11, disturbing questions arise about fear, intimidation, and the cultural challenges facing communities today. In this episode, we examine a troubling encounter in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, where a young man and his coworkers were unexpectedly confronted by a group of men whose aggressive words and actions left them shaken and fearful. The emotional aftermath was so profound that even his mother was met only with, "I can't talk about it. Give me time to think."Through firsthand accounts and reflection, we explore themes of intimidation, religious expression, public confrontation, and the uncertainty many Americans feel in these perilous times. As the nation remembers the lives lost on September 11, 2001, this conversation considers what it means to remain vigilant, courageous, and grounded in faith amid growing tensions and cultural change.Join us for a thoughtful discussion on current events, personal experiences, and the enduring truth found in Scripture: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Fear, Evil, and the Need for God's TruthIn this episode, we examine the powerful promise of Psalm 91:5: "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day." As believers face a world filled with disturbing headlines and moral confusion, God's Word reminds us where true security is found.We discuss shocking examples of human wickedness, including the Harvard Medical School morgue scandal involving the theft and illegal sale of donated body parts, and reflect on what such acts reveal about the fallen nature of mankind. We also touch on ongoing debates surrounding the remembrance of September 11 and the importance of truth, justice, and accountability in public life.Through a biblical lens, this episode explores the reality of evil, the condition of the human heart, and the hope found in God's righteous judgment and sovereign protection.

In this episode, J Fallon exposes the growing hypocrisy in government and education: Christian teaching is condemned even in Christian schools, while LGBTQIA+ ideology is pushed onto children as young as four. Drawing on Scripture and J.D. Unwin's research on societal collapse, this episode reveals how rejecting truth leads to a reprobate mind — and why our institutions can no longer think clearly. This is a warning about ideology, morality, and the war for our children.This is just my opinionIntro song is ‘⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bring Me Down⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠'⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Slippery Slope Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠J Fallon Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Slippery Slope Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Slippery Slope YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

I'm not going to give a Labor Day talk, but that's where we'll startLast year I felt it was important that I read Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations– Smith is sometimes referred to as the Father of Capitalism• he explored the principles of economics that caused some systems of flourish and others to flounder– one concern was the ways that governments interfered with industries and commerce• but something disturbed me as I read through his detailed research and conclusions◦ Smith took for granted that there would always be a huge mass of poor people◦ he saw this as the general pattern of civilizations from ancient history• there were always masters and slaves, emperors and subjects, kings and paupersHere are a few quotes I pulled from his work:Smith, “All for ourselves and nothing for others, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind. . . . As soon, therefore, as they could find a method of consuming the whole value of their rents for themselves, they had no disposition to share then with any other persons.”– “For one very rich man there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few [assumes] the indigence of the many.”– When the economy of a nation is static rather than increasing, wages for the workers are barely enough to raise a family or even continue the “race of laborers.” “. . . there is no order that suffers so cruelly from [a nation's economic decline as the poor].” However, the voices of the poor were rarely heard, except in when there were public demonstrations.

In this episode of Today's Biblical Alert, we explore timeless biblical principles on debt, lending, stewardship, and spiritual leadership. Beginning with a sobering look at America's national debt and the burden of financial obligation, we reflect on the biblical truth that "the borrower is servant to the lender."Drawing from John Winthrop's famous 1630 sermon aboard the Arabella, we examine the moral responsibility of lending and caring for those in need. We also discuss the importance of financial independence in ministry, highlighting Franklin Graham's commitment to limiting government dependence and trusting God's provision.Finally, we turn to Hebrews 13 and the role of faithful pastors and church leaders who watch over the souls of God's people.

In this powerful episode of Monday's Moment of Money, we examine the convergence of global finance and biblical truth as world leaders, finance ministers, central bank governors, and Fortune 500 executives gather in Asheville, North Carolina, for high-level discussions on economic policy, financial regulation, cryptocurrency, and global economic challenges.Against the backdrop of a United States national debt exceeding $40 trillion, we put the staggering scale of that number into perspective and ask a sobering question: Is our financial reality merely economic, or is it also spiritual?

The Book of Isaiah begins with God's frustration over Israel; for instance:“Children have I reared and brought up,but they have rebelled against me . . . .Ah, sinful nation,a people laden with iniquity,offspring of evil doers,children who deal corruptly!They have forsaken the LORD,they have despised the Holy One of Israel,they are utterly estranged” (Isa. 1:2-4)Then in chapter 6, Isaiah tells the story of his call from God to be a prophet- at first, he continues in the same stream as the opening• but a little further on, he is given messages of hope◦ God always provides a way back◦ his radiant love always breaks through the dark clouds• by chapter 30, his promises to Israel are fantastic“For a people shall dwell in Zion, in Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. As soon as he hears it, he answers you. And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,' when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.”- God promises his people he will always be speaking to them• they will always hear him nearby, and he will guide them• as long as they were willing to listen to him, and accept his direction,◦ he was willing to constantly communicate with them

Why We Believe What We BelieveIn this episode of Today in Biblical, we explore the importance of understanding and defending the truths that shape both our faith and our heritage. From the founding principles of liberty and self-evident truth to the timeless truths of God's Word, we are reminded that each generation must be taught not only what to believe, but why they believe it.We discuss the responsibility of parents, pastors, and churches to ground young people in biblical truth, equip them to stand firm in a culture of compromise, and encourage them to live as faithful witnesses for Jesus Christ. This episode challenges listeners to embrace the conviction that it is better to stand alone for truth than with a crowd in error, and to proclaim Christ as "the way, the truth, and the life" from the mountaintops to the valleys of life.Join us as we examine the value of truth, the courage required to defend it, and the enduring call to remain steadfast in faith and godly living.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

#203 // Maybe you've got a person in mind. Someone who hurt you. Someone who drains you. And you're wondering if you're finally allowed to be done.You've drawn that line before. More than once. And they stepped right over it again. So, now you're asking God the question you've been circling for a while now:   Am I allowed to cut this person off?Here's where most of us get tangled up: We've been taught that the point of a boundary is to protect ourselves. Get the toxic people out. Protect your peace. Cut them off and move on. Sister, that's not the whole truth. And the piece that's missing is the reason your boundaries keep collapsing.Here's what we're getting into on this episode of the Positioned to Prosper Podcast:→ AM I ALLOWED TO WALK AWAY? There are two very different things tangled up inside "cutting someone off," and God doesn't answer them the same way. Pulling them apart is what finally makes this question answerable.→ WHY WON'T MY BOUNDARIES STICK? Every boundary you've ever set got built on top of something. There are only two options for what that something is… and one of them guarantees the line collapses.→ WHAT DOES A BIBLICAL BOUNDARY EVEN LOOK LIKE? Not what most of us were handed. And once you see what it's actually supposed to be built on, you'll understand why enmeshment, codependency and manipulation could never get a grip on it.→ IS GOD FOR ME OR FOR THEM? Joshua asked the commander of the Lord's army that exact question, standing outside Jericho. The answer came back in one word… and it wasn't either one.Your walls and your gates may have been burned down. That doesn't mean they can't be rebuilt. It means you get to build them right this time, in His presence, according to His word.

With an estimated 85 to 105 million lives lost in World Wars I and II and more than 130 active armed conflicts around the globe today, Jesus' warning of "wars and rumors of wars" remains strikingly relevant.We explore the connection between the words casual and casualty, tracing their origins to a Latin word meaning "to fall," and ask a challenging question: Have Christians become too casual about the serious matters of faith? From biblical preaching and worship to Christian education and raising the next generation, this episode calls believers, parents, and church leaders to recognize the spiritual battle taking place around them.We also discuss the state of Christian schools, the importance of biblical doctrine, Scripture memorization, godly music, academic excellence, and the responsibility of teaching truth in a culture increasingly hostile to Christian values.

Work Smarter, Not HarderIn this episode of Is Today's Biblical Alert, we examine the popular saying, "Work smarter, not harder." Is it biblical wisdom, or does it reflect man's tendency to seek shortcuts apart from God?We'll explore the difference between godly wisdom and worldly cleverness, why many people learn life lessons the hard way, and how Scripture calls believers to seek knowledge and understanding from the Lord rather than from human reasoning alone.

In “The Mystery of Leadership,” Caleb Cole teaches from 1 Timothy 3:8–16 about the character behind healthy leadership. From integrity and self control to earned trust, faithfulness at home, and serving others, Paul's instructions to Timothy challenge every follower of Jesus to become the same person in public and in private. Ultimately, healthy leadership matters because the church has been entrusted with carrying and representing the good news of Jesus.

This episode raises a sobering question: would the fundamental churches and ministries of today be recognizable to the Bible-believing leaders who stood for doctrinal separation, biblical conviction, and spiritual vigilance decades ago? Looking back over more than 75 years, we examine concerns about the influence of modernism, ecumenical compromise, and the gradual erosion of historic fundamental convictions within churches and ministries across America.Drawing a parallel to America's 250th anniversary, this message also asks whether the nation's founders would recognize the government and culture that exist today. Just as they warned that freedom requires constant vigilance, faithful believers have long been urged to stand watch against spiritual drift, apostasy, and compromise. Join us as we explore the biblical call to contend for the faith, maintain doctrinal purity, resist the pressures of inclusivism, and remain steadfast as watchmen on the wall in an ever-changing world.Today's Biblical Power Now: A call to discernment, separation, and unwavering faithfulness in challenging times.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

We continue our study of the Judgment Seat of Christ, where believers' works are assessed for eternal rewards. Learn about the 5 types of crowns - the incorruptible crown, the crown of rejoicing, the crown of righteousness, the crown of life, and the crown of glory. Pastor Derek emphasises the importance of living a life of faith, obedience, and faithful service, ensuring believers are prepared to receive their heavenly rewards. *1. The INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN (1Corinthians 9:24-27, 1Timothy 2:5) for walking in the Spirit and not following after the flesh, for exercising self-control and denying yourself in this life, in order to live a Spirit-filled life, for living in victory over the sin nature. This crown goes to the man who puts God first, rather than the corruptible things of this life. *2. The CROWN of REJOICING (1Thessalonians 2:19, Philippians 4:1) consists of all the people we have shared the Gospel with, won to the Lord, and discipled (John 4:36). One of the greatest rewards and eternal sources of joy will be all the PEOPLE in HEAVEN, who we will have reached with our witness, discipling, giving and praying. We will see the eternal fruit of our labours in transformed people. This Crown will be given to all who fulfil the Great Commission. That's why it is also called the SOULWINNER'S CROWN. *3. The CROWN of RIGHTEOUSNESS (2Timothy 4:7-8, Philippians 3:9-14). *4. The CROWN of LIFE (James 1:12, Revelation 2:10) for overcoming tests and trials. *5. The CROWN of GLORY (1Peter 5:1-4) for exercising faithful leadership.

#201 // You feel it. That pull that says you were made to carry something significant. Something that matters. Something for God.Then you look at your actual Tuesday. The laundry, the inbox, the school pickup, the thing that didn't go the way you planned. And that feeling of significance gets real quiet. You start to wonder if you're doing enough, if any of it's even working, if the big thing God put in you is ever going to look like anything from the outside.If that's you, there's something in this week's episode of Positioned to Prosper that's going to take the pressure off completely. Because Jesus said the Kingdom of God isn't out there and it isn't someday. It's inside you, right now. And what's growing in there is bigger than you think.Here's what we're getting into:→ WHY YOU CAN'T SEE IT. What Jesus meant in Luke 17 when He said the Kingdom doesn't come with observation, and why you've been searching the outside for something that lives on the inside→ THE PRESSURE-RELIEF OF THE MUSTARD SEED. Why the smallest, most hidden, most ordinary-looking thing in you is the exact thing God grows into the biggest, and why you can stop trying to make yourself big enough to matter→ YOU'RE THE SOIL. The reason your ordinary, everyday life isn't a disqualification, it's the whole design, and why the seed of the Kingdom needs a real woman living a real life to grow→ YOU DON'T GET DISQUALIFIED FOR A BAD DAY. Why you don't lose your capacity to carry the Kingdom because you had a rough one, got it wrong, or were short with somebody, and the protection God built right inThere's a whole ecosystem of life God wants to grow through the seed He planted in you. So the real question is, how are you going to steward the Kingdom that's already inside you?

What makes a spiritual leader trustworthy? Through 1 Timothy 3:1 through 7, Chrissy Cole examines biblical leadership and the character God desires in those who lead.

Psalm 25This psalm does not track a central themeWhat I mean, is that we cannot say, “This is a psalm of praise,”- or “Psalm of confession,” or “thanksgiving psalm,” or “supplication psalm”• this doesn't mean the structure of the poem is random,◦ only that it doesn't tell a story or develop a specific point• nevertheless, there is a pattern to the psalm,◦ but we don't find it arranged in an obvious pattern- the first Hebrew letter in the first word of the first verse is alef(like 'A' is the first letter of our alphabet)• the first letter in the first word of the second verse is bet(like 'B' is the second letter of our alphabet)◦ alef and bet are the first two letters in the Hebrew alphabet◦ that's what the poet used for the outline of the entire psalm• it's like the nursery rhyme, “A is for apple; B is for ball . . . .”◦ except that two letters from the Hebrew alphabet are missingThere are several psalms that use this acrostic device- Psalm 119 is the most radical example, supplying eight verses (each beginning with the same letter) for every letter of the Hebrew alphabet

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm addressing the divorcee community and I'm going straight to the Bible.Why does God say He hates divorce? What does Scripture actually teach about marriage, covenant, divorce, and the responsibilities of husbands and wives? And why have divorce rates become so incredibly high, particularly as wives increasingly initiate divorce over reasons that, from a biblical perspective, are trivial, selfish, or completely unbiblical?This is not a message designed to just shame people who have experienced divorce. It is a challenge to the culture that has normalized abandoning marriage whenever things become difficult, inconvenient, or uncomfortable. We need to be willing to distinguish between legitimate biblical grounds for divorce and the endless list of modern excuses we've created to justify walking away from a sacred covenant.And that's not all we're discussing.I'm also talking about Donald Trump's continued failures, the gap between political promises and political reality, and why Americans should be questioning the decisions being made in our name.Plus, we're talking about the Iran War and why I believe this conflict is unnecessary and why Americans should be asking whether another foreign war actually serves the interests of the United States.Marriage. Divorce. Biblical truth. Trump. Iran. War. Political accountability.I'm saying what I believe needs to be said, even when it isn't popular (as usual).--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app
