A man is involved in a sinful relationship with his stepmother, and the church's prideful attitude toward this sin is deeply concerning. Paul reminds the Corinthians that such behavior is unacceptable and must be confronted. He instructs them to remove the unrepentant individual from their fellowship, not out of malice, but to encourage repentance and protect the church's purity. Paul compares sin to leaven, warning that it spreads and corrupts the entire body. He urges the church to live as unleavened bread, pure and holy in Christ. Furthermore, Paul clarifies that he is not addressing unbelievers but instructs the church to hold fellow Christians accountable, emphasizing the importance of upholding God's standards within the church. Arrogance among God's people can take many forms. In today's reading, it manifests as unaddressed immorality, as if God would not hold the group accountable. Paul emphasizes that the church must confront sin for the good of the sinners and the purity of the congregation. This should be our attitude toward ungodliness among us. We must humbly accept that we will answer to God for inaction. However, our motives must always be to save and protect, whether it be the sinner or the members of our church family. This may require extreme actions, such as breaking off associations with someone or removing them from the local church fellowship. All must be done with the hope of restoration and peace.   Holy God, we hear Your call to morality and holiness in Jesus' name. Help us confront violations of Your will within ourselves and among Your people with humility, love, and courage. Teach us to address sin with the desire for restoration and fellowship, being mindful to protect the integrity of Your little ones among us. Grant us wisdom to discern how to approach those in sin, balancing mercy and resolve as we stand for Your will. Strengthen our commitment to live as unleavened bread, set apart for You, and determined to abandon arrogance and purge sin from our midst.  Thought Questions: -       What might lead a local church to overlook sin among them? How can you help your local fellowship overcome this and address souls? -       How important is it for local churches to keep sin from among their midst? Why is it dangerous to allow ungodliness to be common among us? -       Why are Christians told “not to associate” with brethren caught in sin? Why is this important, and what does it look like in your life?

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comI Corinthians 4 The apostles of Christ should not be viewed as exalted leaders, but rather as servants and stewards of God's mysteries. They are subject to God's examination, just like everyone else. Paul reminds the Corinthians that faithfulness to God is what truly matters, not the judgments or opinions of others. Genuine evaluation belongs to the Lord, who will illuminate hidden things and unveil the intentions of the heart. Paul cautions against pride and boasting in human leaders, urging humility by reminding them that everything they possess is a gift from God. Apostles are examples of suffering and perseverance, often regarded as “fools for Christ” while demonstrating God's power. Paul encourages the Corinthians to follow his example, living humbly and faithfully under God's authority, for they are ultimately accountable to Him alone. Judgment and approval belong to the Lord in every situation. This absolute truth carries two important implications. First, we do not have the right to determine our own righteousness. God examines each of us, and His conclusions supersede our own. Second, and hopefully obviously, we do not pass judgment upon other believers. They will answer to God, and His praise is all that matters in the end. Unfortunately, some Corinthians have become prideful and even judge the apostles as less than themselves, despite Paul and others having done so much for God and for them. There is no room for such arrogance in the kingdom. We should emulate the faithfulness of the apostles and the humble, active servants among us.  Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us through Your Word that we are stewards of Your mysteries. Help us remain faithful to You in all things, seeking Your approval above the opinions of others. Teach us humility, reminding us that everything we have is a gift from You. Strengthen us to endure challenges and reflect Christ's love, even when faced with opposition or ridicule. May we follow the example of faithful servants like Paul, living for Your glory and not our own. Reveal to us the intentions of our hearts and guide us to walk in humble obedience to You.  Thought Questions: -       If God's judgment about you is more important than how you see yourself, how do you determine what God desires from You as His servant? -       Why is it so tempting to demean others and elevate yourself? What do you usually miss about yourself and the other person when you do this? -       What would happen if we spent less time in pride or jealousy toward others and more time emulating the godliness we see in them?

In this episode we discuss the importance of making sure that what we believe about God is actually rooted in the Scriptures and not based just on our experiences or what we've heard other people say. When reading the Scriptures, always ask, "What does this teach me about God?"Scriptures used:John 10:30John 17:17Matthew 4:42 Timothy 3:16-17Psalm 119:105Ephesians 4:11-16John 14:8-9Acts 17:1-151 Corinthians 12:7Hebrews 5:12-14Romans 12:2Proverbs 19:17Proverbs 17:5aMatthew 25:31-40Proverbs 20:10Proverbs 11:1Proverbs 20:23Proverbs 21:31 Samuel 15:22Micah 6:6-81 Samuel 16:7Matthew 15:1-9Matthew 23:15, 27-28Matthew 22:37-401 Peter 3:7Proverbs 24:17-18Romans 12:19-21Ezekiel 18:322 Peter 3:9Exodus 34:6-7Jeremiah 9:23-24Psalm 119:9-16, 97-100Psalm 1:1-32 Corinthians 3:17-18Psalm 119:181 Chronicles 29:17Feel free to email the podcast at ijustwanttotalkabout@gmail.com, and we will respond as soon as we are able!I WANT TO BE DISCIPLEDI am on staff with another ministry called Mentoring Men for the Master (M3).

Does God hear and answer every prayer? What is the connection between "righteousness" and answered prayer? Main Points:1. The word “righteous” – being in a right relationship with God.  We are intimidated by this.  The word “righteous” scares us because we know our own tendency to sin, but we need to understand that we receive our “righteousness” from Christ.  Romans says, “our own righteousness is like filthy rags.”2. While we cannot earn our righteous standing, we seek after a righteous lifestyle practically. We pursue righteousness when we pursue the character of Christ and desire holiness more than fleshly indulgence. We avoid the temptation to become self-righteous when we understand that true righteousness begins with godly humility.3. Remember, righteousness cannot be achieved apart from receiving the grace of God, but once we are saved, we are called to live a righteous life. As we do, God will honor our prayers with His response.Today's Scripture Verses:“If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.” (Psalm 66:18 NLT)“If a man shut his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered.” (Proverbs 21:13)“But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.” (James 1:6-7)“When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” (James 4:3)”The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16)“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

What does your giving say about your heart? In this message titled What We Give Away, Stephen Davey explores the final promise believers make to their local church: the promise to financially support it through faithful, cheerful, and sacrificial stewardship. Drawing from passages like 2 Corinthians 8–9, Stephen shows that giving isn't about obligation—it's an act of worship and trust. From a child placing his necktie in the offering plate to the joyful generosity of churches in deep poverty, the examples he shares are both humorous and humbling. Faithfulness means you give consistently. Cheerfulness means you give joyfully. Sacrifice means you give even when it costs you. And it's all rooted in one key truth: God owns everything—you're just managing His resources. You'll be challenged to evaluate your giving patterns, confront your assumptions, and rediscover the joy of supporting gospel work. This isn't about guilt—it's about growth. This message will inspire you to steward what you have for what truly lasts.

In this episode, we'll challenge the cultural confusion surrounding judgment. Judgment isn't inherently wrong. In fact, we make over 35,000 judgments a day! The key difference is whether we're judging to condemn or judging to restore. So stop misusing “do not judge,” and start learning how to judge correctly—because you're going to judge whether you like it or not.1 Timothy 6:10Philippians 4:131 Corinthians 10:13Matthew 7:1-5Matthew 21:12,132 Samuel 121 Corinthians 5:1,2Ezra 10:10John 7:241 Samuel 16:7Proverbs 4:23Matthew 7:15-20Galatians 5:22,23Galatians 6:1Matthew 18:15-17You can now also WATCH C.L.!

1 Corinthians 1:1-9 Matthew 13:24-30

In Episode 211, Stephanie and I discuss times when we've experienced Christians getting upset about being told they need to follow Jesus' teachings. We also compare Paul's understanding of the wisdom of God with the second half of James 3. Finally, we look at whether the Calvinistic doctrine of Total Inability is expressed by Paul in 1 Corinthians 2:14.

The Apostle pleads with the Corinthians, and with us, not to receive the grace of God in vain. That is, not to treat it casually, not to compartmentalize it, and not to keep Jesus at arm's length when He's called us to new life. As an Apostle, Paul shares the cost of faithful ministry—beatings, imprisonments, sleepless nights—and yet he opens his heart wider, not smaller. He reminds us that the Christian life is lived now, in the tension between earthly hardship and heavenly promise. It's not enough to avoid evil; we're called to be visibly, purposefully set apart.  The Rev. John Shank, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Edwardsville, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 2 Corinthians 6.  To learn more about Trinity Lutheran, visit trinitylutheranministries.org. What does it mean to follow Christ in weakness? What does true ministry look like in the face of criticism, suffering, and spiritual warfare? And how can the Church hold fast to the Gospel when pressured by the world—and even by false teachers within? On Thy Strong Word, we walk verse by verse through, arguably, the apostle Paul's most personal, emotional, and paradoxical letter: 2 Corinthians. From forgiveness and reconciliation to generous giving and boasting only in the Lord, 2 Corinthians calls every believer to follow Christ boldly. This is the way of the cross, where God's grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in you. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

As Christians and counselors, we should never compromise on the essentials of the gospel when we're pursuing love. But at the same time, we must recognize that our framework about the nonessentials is colored by our own experiences, training and mentors. Scholars and biblical leaders have studied the Bible for centuries and still disagree on many nonessentials. When we push our framework of these nonessentials on others, they can feel unheard and pressured to conform to a belief that isn't foundational to their Christian walk. As Paul exhorts in 1 Corinthians, we must emphasize love. Jesus, our better Counselor, welcomes people to Himself, not a certain denomination or school of thought. Just as He's sanctified us, He can sanctify others and deepen their understanding of Him and His Word.Resources:Connect with other Christians and counselors: Gospel-Centered Biblical Counseling and Equipping Facebook Group with Bob KellemenSeason 10 of Conversational Counseling on “Do as I Say Not as I Do.”To sign up for free visuals and discussion questions for this season click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Our theme music is by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠As Isaac⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.This podcast is made possible by engineer and producer ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shane Selby⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, executive producer ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Meleah Smith⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠generous donors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Known Ministries⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Alex Kocher⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and Brenda Payne.

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 12:10 As is often the case, the principles of the Kingdom of God run contrary to our thinking. Who would ever say, “I am content with weakness.” We brag about our strengths. God loves using weak and flawed people. We expect great, important people to do big things. No one is surprised when a good-looking, articulate, well-educated person succeeds. When God uses weak people to do great things, there is no question about who gets the glory. Your weakness will not keep God from using you.

Join Pastor Alvin II this week as he continues our compelling series on "Prophecy"! In this episode, we're focusing on the immense importance of prophecy and how spiritual discernment is absolutely critical to understanding it.

72% of people who get up and go to work every day think “nobody cares about me”. That's a WHOLE LOT of hurting people that will never experience God's love. So, what if we just took God's love to them? What if there was a chaplain in the workplace that looks just like them, that meets them where they are; to just listen, pray and love them?  Workplace chaplains DO exist and are more and more common in today's workplaces! And THAT is the gospel!  Echoing Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 9, “When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.”  So, we challenge you, look into finding a chaplain for your people and transform your workplace into a place where people are loved.

Churches today, like the Corinthian church, often struggle with the tension between engaging their culture and being transformed by it. In this compelling episode, Dr. John Neufeld takes listeners into Paul's letter to the Corinthians, a church that had gradually adopted the pagan culture around them rather than following Christ's way of life. The timeless message challenges today's church to distinguish itself from contemporary culture while remaining engaged with the world around us.The Power of Christ in a Pagan World: Join Dr. John Neufeld for this 20-message series as he focuses on the book of 1 Corinthians. Covering chapters 1-4, The Power of Christ in a Pagan World looks at the many issues that confronted the church in Corinth; Problems that seemed to find their place within the church at every turn! This series helps us unpack the different conflicts and struggles of this early church in a relevant and practical way. Even though the church in Corinth existed a long time ago, they went through trials that might sound familiar to us in the 21st Century!

Preaching from 2nd Corinthians 8 - sermon # 1 in the series: "Godly Grit"

Is it possible to operate in a God-given spiritual gift and hurt people with it? Jumping back into our sermon season, "Godly Gifts," Pastor Jon Chasteen sheds light on the proclivities of the spiritual gifts--the dark side of the gifts when used in pride or fear--and how to overcome them. We pray this message would be enlightening and convicting as we navigate how to healthily operate in the gifts of the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 16 - Love for God and the Family of Faith by Calvary Chapel Irmo

Send us a textWelcome: Hello and welcome back to The Bible Project Daily Podcast. Today, we continue our 40-day journey through 1 Corinthians—a letter for the modern church, if ever there was one.In this episode, we'll witness something astonishing: Paul gives thanks for a church in crisis. Before addressing the many failings of the Corinthian believers, Paul stops to thank God for His grace at work in them—and in doing so, models how we too should begin not with condemnation, but with praise and confidence in God's faithfulness.

Jase shares the bizarre tale of getting into a stranger's van—tattoos, purple hair, and all—for a last-minute TV interview, complete with alligator jokes he never got to tell. Meanwhile, Al joins the sister podcast "Duck Call Room” for the first time as a guest with Miss Kay, who brings some rare calm to the chaos. The guys begin their deep dive into John 11 and the raising of Lazarus, asking hard, honest questions about why Jesus delayed, why he wept, and what it means to face death with resurrection on the horizon.

In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Secular Rarity and JMike dive into various arguments for belief, including personal, historical, and philosophical claims, challenging callers to define their terms and defend their positions against logical scrutiny and internal contradictions. They also explore the practical applications of critical thinking in constructing a secular moral framework.Marianne in NJ calls in to present personal experience, scientific, and historical evidence for Christianity, focusing on the Bible's supposed singular narrative written over 1500 years by 40 writers. The hosts challenge this idea with the Documentary Hypothesis, noting the Bible's internal contradictions, and quickly identify her reasoning as circular. They question the utility of her "Google this" approach and dismiss her car crash analogy as not representative of the Gospels' discrepancies. Why does the God of the Bible continue to be described as loving when his actions are anything but?Sam in AZ initially seeks to discuss scientific and historic arguments for God, but quickly pivots to advocating for a "general theism" and then the ontological argument. The hosts challenge the coherence of arguing for a God about whom nothing is known, using a "bare designer" analogy to highlight the lack of predictive power in such a vague concept. They press him to provide a specific version of the ontological argument, which he struggles to articulate clearly. What distinguishes a "general theism" from other unsubstantiated claims?  Unable to actually carry on an intelligent conversation, Sam resorts to racial and anti-lgbtq+ slurs before rage quitting, but thanks to the magic of editing, you won't hear the slurs! We did however leave in the hosts justified ridicule of this immature tactic.  You're welcome!Rich in CT questions the Council of Nicaea, believing it's where "the whole Jesus bullshit started" and wonders why it isn't discussed more. Hosts explain that while the Council does not inherently disprove Christianity, its historical context should invite skepticism. They note that many self-professed Christians are not knowledgeable on this history and recommend Bart Ehrman's work for deeper insight. Can historical skepticism lead to a more honest understanding of religious origins?Watcher in PA presents life, love, and goodness as evidence for God. Focusing on "God is love" from 1 Corinthians 13:4, the hosts construct a modus tollens argument, contrasting this definition of love with God's actions in the Bible, such as commanding the slaughter of innocent infants. They highlight the special pleading involved in Watcher's justification of such acts as "judgment," challenging him to admit the contradiction inherent in his definition of love. Does the Bible's portrayal of God align with any consistent definition of love?Lord in CA introduces his secular moral framework called "compression logic," which aims to ethically remove contradictions from systems by focusing on reducing suffering, recognizing all variables, preserving existence, and allowing mobility. The hosts question the foundational basis for these four moral pillars, discussing the long-standing debate between moral realism and anti-realism. They also push for a more precise definition of "collapse" in his framework, differentiating between tangible and conceptual failures, and suggest exploring the works of Immanuel Kant and constructivism. Can a moral framework truly avoid collapse if its foundational principles are not universally accepted or clearly defined?Thank you for joining us this week!

Do you know God, or do you just know about Him? That question cuts deep—and it's exactly what we're unpacking in today's episode. As we officially launch After God's Heart, I wanted to start with a conversation that's foundational: intimacy with God. Drawing from Jeremiah 9:23–24, we explore the difference between boasting in what we do for God vs. actually walking in deep relationship with Him. This episode is a personal one. I'm sharing what shifted in my own journey—how consistency didn't come from more discipline, but from more intimacy. You'll also hear how the fruit of the Spirit isn't something you force... it's something that flows when you're planted in the right place. And don't miss the powerful reflection from 1 Corinthians 13. It'll challenge you to ask yourself: “What if I'm doing everything right, but missing the one thing that matters?” Ready to grow in your relationship with God? Try After God's Heart free for 7 days and start a daily rhythm of intimacy with Jesus.

Paul addresses the church, explaining that these leaders are merely servants, while God is the one who causes growth. He compares the church to a field, where one plants and another waters, but God gives the increase. Paul then describes the church as a building, with Christ as the only foundation. He warns that each person's work will be tested by fire to reveal its true quality. Paul reminds them they are God's temple, where the Holy Spirit dwells. He calls them to reject worldly wisdom and to boast only in Christ, who unites them. Through this teaching, Paul urges the Corinthians to seek unity, build wisely, and glorify God in all things.Paul yearns to share deeper insights with the Corinthians, but their spiritual growth is hindered by jealousy, strife, and division. These issues serve as a warning for us to guard against such attitudes in our own lives. Instead, we should concentrate on humility, loving others, and pursuing unity, which opens the door for God's truths and works to flourish within us. Christ is our unshakable foundation, and proclaiming Him is our mission. While some will grow and thrive, others may falter, but our responsibility is to remain faithful, humble, and service-oriented throughout the journey. In His wisdom, God is in control, and He will provide the increase. Our boasting is in His strength, not in ourselves or anyone else.  Compassionate God, please be patient with us. Weaknesses such as jealousy and bitterness attempt to infiltrate our hearts and fellowship, and sometimes we stumble. Help us refocus on the grace of Jesus and renew our hearts to discover deeper spiritual truths and remain steadfast in the ministry. Some of our efforts will endure, while others may falter, but we trust that You are with us and will provide growth as You see fit. Strengthen us to trust You and humbly continue being a temple of the Holy Spirit, a community where the world can find the Spirit, the Son, and You.   Thought Questions: -       The Corinthian division was seeded in jealousy and strife. What helps you keep those emotions from living within your heart? -       Evangelism is emotional. Some come to Christ and stay, while others fall away. How do you stay encouraged to remain active no matter what? -       “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” What is this indwelling, and how does it affect you?

It has been a while since we read a Neville lecture. I really enjoyed this one so I thought I would share it with you. 10/4/1968Tonight's title is “Power and Wisdom.” I speak not of the power of Caesar but of the power of God. The power of God in scripture is personified as Christ. In the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians he defines Christ as “the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1:24). All the power known on earth, and as man develops more and more of it—now we have nuclear power—it is as nothing compared to the power of the new age…Christ being the representative of the new age. So you can't compare the powers. This would be like kindergarten…even our nuclear age
