In this episode of Pray the Word on Isaiah 62:6–7, David Platt calls Christians to rely on the Lord in difficult times.

(00:00-10:10): Today marks the 15th anniversary of something that has completely changed life for all of us. (10:10-16:03): Reacting to the reaction on the Roe vs. Wade ruling, Skye Jethani posted on Twitter: "Wherever you stand on overturning Roe, saying the court is "illegitimate" is no different than Trump saying the election was "rigged." Our response to every loss cannot be to burn the whole system down. Both parties are playing w/fire but it's "We the People" who will get burned." (16:03-25:24): Are Christians neglecting their Bible? Reading the Bible takes intentionality and planning. (25:24-32:43): Why aren't we talking about coercion in the debate over abortion? (32:43-): Elisa Morgan wrote about the struggle she is having in her career trying to step aside for future generations. (H2S4): How do you gauge your spiritual health?

Today we discuss how current events affect Israel and how Bible prophecy is being fulfilled in these last days. Just look at the headlines. Is the Russia-Ukraine crisis an indication we're close to the fulfillment of prophecy? Plus, people don't realize Israel is a key player on the world stage. Daily podcast, relevant articles on issues pertaining to Christians and more can be found on Stand Up For The Truth.

Dean and Paula share about their training and their family adventures. They also discuss focusing on cadence using music or a metronome. Cadence is important for running, swimming, and cycling. Also in this episode, they discuss: Holiday World Summer training and what to expect Fantasy Tour de France PTO Canadian Open professional men and women Menstrual cycles and race performance Comedian John Crist RyR is a team of runners and triathletes who receive comprehensive and customized coaching. The team name has dual meanings. The first is based in Hebrews 12:1 in which Christians are instructed to run the race set before us. In this context, RyR stands for Run your Race, with an emphasis on meeting you (the athlete) where you are and coming alongside you to help you reach your goals. The verse emphasizes patience, endurance, and perseverance. These qualities are essential for success as both athletes and coaches. The second meaning is based on the enduring friendship and marriage between the founding coaches, Dean and Paula Roberts. In this context, RyR stands for Roberts and Roberts. While our primary mission is to help athletes set and reach fitness and performance goals, we understand that this must occur within the context of each athlete's daily life. We strive to form an individual relationship with each athlete and make sure weekly training fits seamlessly into family life and work schedules.

In this episode, Dan decodes a phrase that A LOT of listeners have contacted him about: the claim that Christians are called to “love the sinner, but hate the sin.” What does this mean? What kind of Christian claim is this? Why does it strike such a nerve among those who hear it? Dan tackles these questions in the episode.

These days it is very clear that we live in an increasingly secular world. As people continue to leave the church in record numbers, it seems inevitable that someone will come along and try to plant seeds of doubt.

Al Smith is the editor of five best-selling books featuring the writings of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. He has served the Church for fifteen years as a Catholic evangelist, radio host, writer, Internet broadcaster, and retreat director. Al's work as the director of the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Mission Society of Canada and board member of the Archbishop Fulton John Sheen Foundation in Peoria, Illinois, which promotes the cause of Fulton J. Sheen's canonization process has provided Al with a wealth of knowledge pertaining to the works of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.   During an episode of the Driving Home the Faith Show on Sacred Heart Radio, Al Smith discusses with Fr. Rob Jack some of the content found in this book written by Fulton Sheen in 1941 titled 'A Declaration of Dependence'.  They also discuss his latest anthology titled 'War and Peace' which contains five of Sheen's books from the 1940's.   The book 'A Declaration of Dependence' reveals the shocking truth you need to know in a world riddled by irrationality, emotionalism, and violence. Religion is under attack, whether from totalitarian governments or modern education. Our tacit submission to politics, “freedom,” and science has made us slaves to a diabolical New Atheism and fear. With his prescient wit, wisdom, and fervor, Archbishop Fulton Sheen provides clarity amid propagandist lies and pagan societies united in purpose to destroy. He reminds us why we must fear what kills the soul more than what kills the body. He exposes the false prophets and philosophies at work in the world and the many “believers” who no longer worship or act in accordance with their beliefs. Archbishop Sheen masterfully decries the divisions and hatreds in America, explaining how we have turned from God and are on the precipice, that there is “too much tolerance of evil and not enough intolerance of injustice.” The chastisements the world is facing, he declares, are a consequence of its sins; they are the result of our abandonment of God, our idolatry; and man's attempts to replace God serve only to show that the world is devoid of goodness without His presence. By declaring ourselves independent of God, we have brought down His wrath and made ourselves slaves to the world, the flesh, and the devil. Archbishop Sheen invites us to examine our consciences to see how we have, in fact, caused the wars in the world. By reading this book you will see how “isms” control people where the seeds have been planted for them to be controlled. You will learn how, throughout history, God punishes to destroy evil and, at the same time, to heal His sons from their sins. In addition, you will absorb the future saint's teachings on: The presence of the Antichrist in history The cause of war — whether or not it is just — and where its greatest tragedy lies How to truly fight for peace, justice, and unity in our country and among nations The standard to which all Christians should hold themselves Why the Church is opposed to extreme militarism and pacifism Why those without conscience persecute those with conscience Best of all, Archbishop Sheen explains how God's wrath is not capricious but is a consequence of our actions, how He is good and loving and will not let us drown in our sins, and how the key to our restoration — repentance — is readily in our grasp.   In the book War and Peace, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen recognized that modern atheism was a new type of Messianism threatening to beguile and conquer humanity.  Sheen stressed the use of reason as the unparalleled countermeasure to deceptive communism. The first three books contained in this anthology are a collection of Sheen's classic Catholic Hour radio addresses that were heard by millions of listeners in the 1930s and 1940s. Here, in a single compilation, are Bishop Sheen's most clearly delineated investigations into the underlying causes of communism — every bit as relevant today as when he spoke them — along with an entirely sound and hopeful program for defeating it.  In the fourth book of this anthology, The Philosophies of War, Sheen addresses the confusion felt by most people who were dissatisfied with the ephemeral and superficial commentaries about World War II. Like a master surgeon, Sheen applies the sharp scalpel of his crystal-clear logic to lay open the sources of the world's infection. The fifth book, Seven Pillars of Peace, presents the principles upon which Sheen believes the foundations for a just and lasting peace must be built. By making these five powerful resources your own, you'll have in one volume the means to thrive spiritually in our current seemingly desperate time. Drawing from biblical, cultural, and contemporary examples, Sheen will show you: The spirit of the Antichrist, immoral leaders, education, and societies  How personal sin is sickening our culture — and the cure for this “pandemic” The proper understanding of and instinctive human need for authentic freedom, justice, and love The need to unite for personal rights, including freedom of conscience Why it is crucial to be intolerant of evil and embrace a divine solution How America must choose to repent in order to overcome our present crisis Most notably, Archbishop Sheen proclaims the hope of Christ's Cross and the immeasurable power of His resurrected love. He exhorts us to carry our individual fragments of the beam. It is always darkest before the dawn, Sheen teaches. Times of discouragement are moments when great spiritual transformations can occur. If we return to God and do penance, we will attain interior peace. The future of America's freedom and restoration as a constitutional republic depend on our decision — now — to obediently trust in God.   To order these books, please visit the Sophia Institute Press website at https://www.sophiainstitute.com/author/archbishop-fulton-j-sheen and remember to use the promo code of 'SHEEN25" to receive a 25% discount when you buy two books or more.   For more information about the life and works of the Venerable Archbishop Fulton J.

Some Christians are “doctrine people” who are deeply committed to orthodox theology and ethics shaped by Scripture and the best of the Christian tradition. Other Christians are “piety people” who are mostly concerned with walking closely with Christ and pursuing personal holiness and spiritual maturity. Still other Christians are “justice and mercy people” who are committed to challenging injustice and promoting the common good. Finally, some Christians are “Great Commission people” who are passionate about spreading the gospel to the spiritually lost and promoting mission work among the unreached. While this sort of division is overly simplistic, we are always tempted to overemphasize some elements of the Christian life at the expense of others. In William Wilberforce (1759-1833) and his close friends, the so-called Clapham Saints, we have a historical example of holistic Christian faithfulness that embraced the importance of both doctrine and piety, both justice and evangelism.

Most of us have a small circle of people who we consider our closest friends, people we can be completely honest with, people we trust. The apostle John was one of Jesus’ closest friends. He was part of Jesus’ inner circle, and their relationship was special. John wanted all Christians to experience a similar, close-knit relationship with Jesus. John’s letter was written to reassure believers in the face of some popular and misleading false teachings. One idea that had crept into the church proposed that sin does not break one’s fellowship with God. To combat this false notion, John declared that if we claim to be without sin, we are being deceived. People who deny sin in their lives are either oblivious to their sin or simply lying to themselves. Instead, John urged believers to confess their sins (v. 9). At times it is appropriate to confess sins amongst a group of trusted believers, and it is always appropriate to confess our sins to God. Some may ask, “I thought when I said the sinner’s prayer that all my sins (past, present, and future) are forgiven. Why do I need to constantly confess and ask for forgiveness?” John wants his readers to know that sin after our conversion, while covered once and for all by Christ’s sacrifice, hinders our relationship with the Lord. Any relationship full of secrets and lies is bound to be unhealthy. The type of confession he explains in verse nine removes the barriers toward an authentic relationship. John also reassures his readers that Jesus is our “advocate” for the forgiveness of sin (2:1). He not only pleads our case to God the Father but also takes our deserved punishment. Why? So that we may have another chance at a closer fellowship with Him. >> Is there a sin that is hindering your relationship with God? Confess it today and receive another opportunity to grow in your fellowship with Him.

"Give Us This Day" is a unique daily devotional commentary for the entire Church Year according to the Daily Lectionary of the Book of Common Prayer (1928). We join our reading of the Second Lesson from Morning Prayer with the reading of countless Christians, who read these Scriptures to form and transform the soul, more than merely inform the mind.

Join us for this special look back at one of our most popular topical series we've done - Bad Theology Hurts. Benson & Sean dive into things that a lot of Christians say or even think, things that while we think they're helpful, are often far more damaging to our faith than we would expect.

It's time to get comfortable with being uncomfortable - today, we are talking about making new friends! We can all admit that making new friends is hard, but building deep connections and meaningful friendships are crucial to our well-being and what we are called to as Christians. We've been inspired by Jennie Allen's new book, Find Your People to talk more about how we can build those deep relationships and what their fruit can produce in our lives.

As we grow in the character of Christ, it's his love that compels us to do more than expected. Anyone can do the minimum. Anyone can meet the lowest standard of expectation. Jesus is challenging us to serve others with love. He's calling us to give of ourselves and to live with greater generosity.Main Points:It's not natural for us to want to go the second mile. It requires the strength of the Holy Spirit. It is not our natural tendency.  We need God's strength.  Second mile Christians are witnesses to the inward work of Jesus Christ.  We let the world know about Jesus by the life we live.Even your work ethic can be a testimony of your faith in Christ. Many employees tend to do as little as possible, but Jesus changes our character, which impacts the effort with which we approach our employment. It now becomes an integrity issue. When we go the second mile, people will notice and it gives testimony to Christ. Even if they don't notice, God notices, and he keeps a record.Listen today for the voice of the Holy Spirit. He may lead you to go the second mile. As you do, go with a sweet spirit and let your life be a testimony of God's grace.Today's Scripture Verses:Matthew 5:41 - “If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.”Quick Links:Subscribe to The 5 Minute Discipleship NewsletterDonate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group5 Minute Discipleship on Instagram

Jesse Harris opened the final series of the final season of Fellowship Alliance Chapel's Band of Band of Brothers breakfast ministry, "Called to Righteousness (Integrity)," by presenting, "Boaz: Who's the Kinsman Redeemer?" As Jesse pointed out, living righteously means acting in accord with divine and moral law, realizing that the standard for morality is set by God Himself. The story of Boaz, in the Bible book of Ruth, is the story of how a man did follow God and lived a life of integrity, especially in his relation with Ruth. When the closest kinsman redeemer for Naomi and her daughter-in-law Ruth refused to take on that responsibility, Boaz, who was next in line, became that kinsman redeemer and purchased the widow Naomi's land and married the widow Ruth. God blessed that marriage and Boaz became the father of Obed, who was the father of Jesse, who was the father of David; all in the family line into which Jesus was born. Jesse then challenged the men as to what each are doing with their lives to introduce the lost to the ultimate Kinsman Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who gave his live as payment in full for the sin of the world and rose from the dead bringing victory over death. As Christians, we are to be such witnesses to this dark and dying world.

“Fake news.” We live in a time that tends toward believing that truth is subjective, and that people can have “their truth” instead of asking, like Pilate, “What is truth?” Sadly, some Christians today seem to be comfortable with the false notion that the Bible is like any other book, and that it, too, contains errors. This is an alarming belief, because it asserts that some of the Bible is true, and some is not. Further, the notion that “There is truth, but we cannot know it” is driving people away from the concept of absolute truth, and that's a dangerous place for Christians to be. Why? Because truth matters. God's Word claims to be truth, in keeping with the character and omniscient nature of God. In an age of “fake news,” perhaps, we have simply gotten used to being lied to. However, the Bible stands alone without error. This essential doctrine is a cornerstone of the Christian faith. Inerrancy deserves high regard among evangelicals and has rightly earned the status of being essential to the Christian Faith.

Jesus said, "Whoever wishes to come after Me, must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me" (Matthew 16:24). This is what Christians have been trying to do for centuries: to become like Christ. The old expression was "imitating Christ"; now we say, "following Christ," walking in His footsteps, to become like Him. Join Fr. Joe Roesch, MIC, as he reads the spiritual classic, "The Imitation of Christ," from beginning to end. It was written in the 1400s, yet sounds like it was written yesterday. Translated into languages all over the world, it is said to be the most well-read book in the world next to the Bible. "The Imitation of Christ" was read and beloved by many of the saints, and offers great spiritual advice for every age. Support our Ministries here. 

Hebrews 9:11-28Andrew and Edwin springboard off of the discussion of Jesus's death to discuss our memorial of Christ's death. They give special emphasis to the memorial nature of it, demonstrating that the Roman Catholic idea of the reoffering of Jesus in the mass is a mistaken notion. We are to remember Jesus, not reoffer Jesus in the Lord's Supper.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.    Let us know what you are learning or any questions you have.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Catholic Answers apologist extraordinaire Joe Heschmeyer to discuss the structure of the Early Church. Was the Early Church made up of loosely affiliated groups of believers, or did the Early Church inherit a clear hierarchical structure from the apostles? The question is one of the most important ones to answer, considering it'll help to determine WHICH church Christ founded – out of many different denominations. In this episode, Joe takes us into the earliest evidence to show exactly how we know what kind of Church Christ founded, where it is today, and why it's important to find. Plus, we talk about common objections to some of Joe's findings and where they go wrong.

Today on The Dominic Enyart Show, Roe has fallen. We're taking a look at the morality of the supreme court decision. We're also going back to an article by American Right to Life which debunks the notion that abortion is a “states' rights issue.” All of that and more, today- on The Dominic Enyart Show. Today's Resource: God's Principles of Government Join Bob Enyart as he explores God's Principles of Government. From Against Democracy where we look at the biblical principles related to the idea of majority rule, to a Representative Republic and its similarities with democracy, to a real Alternative to Democracy, to what a Bible-based Constitution actually looks like, after this series, the Scriptures' principles of governance will permeate your thinking like never before! Or your money back. (Really.) Read the article from American Right to Life below: So-called States' Rights and Abortion Some God-fearing pro-lifers claim that abortion is a "states' rights" matter. The claim is that the very principles of justice (i.e., God Himself) would have federal governments tolerate a state's decriminalization of murder generally, or decriminalization of murder for any particular group of victims. (Whether the victims would be Jews, Christians, or children, the principles remain the same.) But the abortion states' rights position is as immoral as Roe v. Wade itself. The federal government has no authority to decriminalize child killing and neither do the states. In America, as with slavery, so too with abortion, it was the states themselves and not the U.S. Supreme Court that launched our abortion holocaust. The historical revisionism of Ron Paul and others aside,  in the seven years before Roe v. Wade, 19 states were striking down their own laws banning abortion or otherwise explicitly permitting child killing to varying degrees. The state-sanctioned slaughter began in Mississippi in 1966. Prior to 1973, the states permitting abortion for various reasons were MS, CO, CA, OR, NC, NY, AK, HI, WA, FL, AL, AR, DE, GA, KS, MD, NM, SC, VA, and New York which allowed "elective" abortion on demand through six months. The Bible can help pro-lifers think through all of this. Adhering to the principles of justice presented in Scripture would benefit not only America but of course any nation at any time in history. Israel's 12 tribes are sufficiently similar to America's original 13 states to draw some lessons regarding "states' rights." For the Bible is not silent on the question of whether subdivisions of a national (federal) government have the authority to refrain from prosecuting the murder of the innocent. The Bible approves of local law enforcement, even local prosecution for murder (Deut. 21:1-9). But Scripture indicates that there is no local right to refrain from the prosecution of murder. - Negative Evidence: No Scripture says the king should tolerate tribes that permit murder. - Positive Evidence: The Book of Judges chapter 21 teaches that God does not recognize a local right to decide whether or not to prosecute murder. Rather, when one of the twelve tribes of Israel refused to prosecute the murder of a concubine, for that lawlessness, the rest of the nation was justly outraged and moved to action, and with God's endorsement, they lawfully used force to punish Benjamin including of course any local authorities and magistrates who "would not listen..." So all the men of Israel were gathered... united together as one man. Then the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What is this wickedness that has occurred among you? Now therefore, deliver up the men... that we may put them to death and remove the evil from Israel!" But the children of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the children of Israel. ... [So] The LORD defeated Benjamin before Israel. And the children of Israel destroyed that day twenty-five thousand one hundred Benjamites; all these drew the sword. Judges 20:11-13, 35 God's Word makes it clear that there is no "right" for a state to decriminalize murder nor to refuse to prosecute murder. As in Benjamin, such a "right" is tantamount to lawlessness. And such lawlessness, being manifestly destructive of all rights, cannot itself be an instance of any "right", state or otherwise. Righteous anger at any federal government does not validate perversion of justice. Those angered at a wicked federal government should exercise self-control to avoid claiming that the evil government can go ahead and look the other way and ignore crimes committed anywhere within its borders against the innocent. It's hard to image evangelical Christians being killed in Massachusetts rejecting protection from federal marshals; but it's easier to claim state supremacy when the blood is not one's own. Claiming that any subdivision of government, whether state, district, tribe, or province, should be tolerated even if it decriminalizes the shedding of innocent blood is an example of giving man's law supremacy over God. No true principle of justice, but only unrighteousness, would lead a nation to tolerate murder within its borders, whether of concubines (Israel), of Jews (Germany), or children (America). Another lesson from the Bible regards the head of Israel's "federal" government. Even though Ahab was not the one who ordered the killing of a man named Naboth, the Scriptures teach us that Ahab himself was guilty of murder (1 Kings 21:19). Why? By not prosecuting that murder, he became an accessory after the fact. Notice also that the pro-life emphasis that "judges don't make law" misses the mark. Hundreds of states and nations have enacted legislation condoning the killing of innocent children. This argument only makes sense when used opportunistically, to exploit some incidental public anger against the judiciary. But it is not a fundamental argument against child killing. If judges don't make laws, but legislators do, then legistlators will. In reality though, true law is discovered, not invented, by any governing official. Further, in the slightly askew phrase, "make law" is ambiguous. If a righteous judge in an evil nation asserts that a human being has the right to convert to Christianity, for example, he is not "making law", but recognizing basic human liberty given by God to every man. If a righteous judge in Germany had ruled against the killing of Jews, he would not have been therefore evil for "making law", but righteous for upholding the foundation of all human law, God's enduring command, Do not murder. Thus, "judges don't make law" is another attempt in a centuries-long series of seeking process solutions to fundamental moral questions. If you love any governing official, federal or otherwise, you will not lead him to ignore Solomon's warning from almost 3,000 years ago: Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, "Surely we did not know this," does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds? - Proverbs 24:11-12 "The law condemns and punishes only actions within certain definite and narrow limits; it thereby justifies, in a way, all similar actions that lie outside those limits." -Leo Tolstoy widely attributed By Bob Enyart

Pastor Tom Ascol continues teaching through 2 Corinthians in a message entitled “How Affliction Becomes Light” based on 2 Corinthians 4:16 – 18. In this life sorrows and suffering are sure. This is true for Christians as well as non-Christians. Christians, however, have different resources with which to endure and triumph over troubles. This sermon was given by Dr. Tom Ascol on April 17, 2016 at Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, FL.

While the sexual-gender anarchy is exploding nationwide, the elites have come out to publicly identify who they consider to be their biggest enemy… Christians. Can it be true that Bible-believing Christians are actually the real enemy? Does the Bible give us any indication that this could happen? If so, when? Let's talk about it.

We discuss advancing evil agendas including a global system of government, intentional attacks on the U.S., population control, weakening of America's middle class, military, energy sector, as well as food supply, oil, and shipping concerns. Prophetic signs and product prices are rapidly increasing and some nations are already suffering, but when could it really hit hard in the U.S.? Daily podcast, relevant articles on issues pertaining to Christians and more can be found on Stand Up For The Truth.

In another effort to get really practical, P Nate and Pootie discuss another strategy often talked about in Pastoral counseling: the issue of controlling your thought-life. Many Churches and Christians have an improper understanding of spiritual warfare. At the core, spiritual warfare is a battle over who, or what controls your thinking.

Is money connected to fulfilling your God-given purpose? How do you pursue your purpose without making money an idol? And is there such a thing as a non-woo version of manifestation that is okay for Christians to use? In this episode, you'll hear an engaging conversation between Holly and our guest, Portia Jackson. Portia is a Certified Financial Planner and owns her own business called Wealthy and Fulfilled.  Portia shares her journey to the finance world from being a literal rocket scientist. She talks about the struggles of mothering a child with special needs and she also shares how her leadership journey opened up when she finally found her gifting and pressed into God's will for her life.    Portia and Holly hit some pretty hard topics head-on in the episode. They talk about everything from race and African American female role models, to how the Enneagram can help us identify how we relate to money, and lastly they discuss the concept of Christ-centered manifestation.   I know this episode will challenge you but also encourage you to think objectively about how you relate to money and how your mindset has served you or hurt you.
