We've all been hurt by the words or actions of another, and when that happens you might be tempted to get angry and turn bitter! But as we'll learn today on a Daily Walk bitterness will hurt you and hinder your growth. Pastor John Randall will show us how to root that out of our lives, and pursue peace and holiness instead. We're developing a study of Hebrews right now, and we pick things up in chapter twelve today. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

Remember back to when you were a kid, and your parents would discipline you! We probably didn't have the maturity back then to thank our parents for that, but now years down the road we have a whole different perspective. We appreciate what our parents did to help steer us back on course and help develop our character. Today on a Daily Walk we'll gain a proper perspective of God's discipline in our lives. It comes from Hebrews chapter twelve, and it too is for our good and God's glory. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111
Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber is riding high on his 2025 music comeback, marked by the release of his album Swag, which debuted at number two on the charts and delivered his biggest streaming debut ever, according to Geo TV and MARCA reports from December 13. Fans lit up social media when Bieber shared an Instagram video revisiting the Los Angeles spots—Universal CityWalk and Lucky Strike Lanes bowling alley—where he filmed his breakout 2010 hit Baby over a decade ago. Dressed casually, the 31-year-old softly sang the chorus a cappella with a friend beatboxing, a full-circle moment signaling renewed momentum after years sidelined by health issues and the canceled Justice tour, as detailed in those outlets.Just yesterday, on December 16, Bieber and wife Hailey stepped out for a pampering date at Voda Spa in West Hollywood, looking relaxed with their one-year-old son Jack at home, per IMDb and Just Jared. Hailey rocked a black coat over a white crop top and jeans, while Justin opted for a cozy hoodie, sweats, slippers, and camo beanie. No major public appearances or business deals popped in the last few days, though tribute events like Justin Bieber Night in Honolulu on December 12 via SeatGeek and a Candlelight concert in New York on December 18 via Concerts50 keep his name buzzing. Older news, like his 2023 Hipgnosis catalogue sale worth over 200 million dollars per Wikipedia, underscores his enduring value, but nothing fresh there.Speculation swirls online, including unverified YouTube claims of Hailey pushing for baby number two amid team pushback, but thats gossip without reliable backing. Biebers Swag resurgence could redefine his legacy, proving the pop icon, once doubted, is evolving on his terms.Thanks for tuning in, come back next week for more.

Click here for the DRB Daily Sign Up form! TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: James 1-5 Click HERE to give! Get Free App Here! One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, Hunter invites us to gather on this 15th day of December for day 349 in our journey through the Bible. Together, we explore the heart of God as revealed in the book of James, discovering how God's light and steadfast love guide us through life's troubles and joys. Hunter encourages us to look deeply into scripture—through the lens of Jesus—reminding us of our identity as God's prized possessions, never forgotten or forsaken. Throughout this episode, we reflect on practical faith, genuine love, and the power of prayer, soaking in wisdom for everyday living. Whether enduring trials or seeking peace, Hunter assures us that God's grace is abundant and His presence is near. After reading and contemplating the Word, we move into a spirit-filled time of prayer, lifting up ourselves, our families, and the world. Gratitude echoes for the community that makes this ministry possible, and listeners are invited to partner in spreading hope and encouragement. As the episode closes, you'll be reminded of one life-changing truth: you are deeply loved. Join us as we listen, pray, and walk forward in God's joy together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Wanderers brought back. This is a story of grace—one that is written over every human life. All of us have wandered, just like sheep, each one straying off on our own path. But the Good Shepherd does not leave us lost; he pursues us. God was not content with the ninety-nine—he sought after the one, every wandering soul. That is the good news: God's actions, his love, reach for the whole world. Behold the Lamb of God, slain for the sins of all—the enormity of this gospel is that it is for everyone, without exception. Sometimes this news seems so good it almost defies belief, and James knows this. He warns us not to forget who we truly are; not to look into the mirror of God's word and then forget our reflection when we turn away. In Christ, God chose to give birth to us, making us his prized possession, his beloved children. But it is easy to forget—especially when the truth seems too good. We fall back into the old lie: that God is distant, disapproving, far off. James wants to remind us how loved, how valued, how seen we are. God offered himself for us, count us among his treasured flock. This love is for all people and it's so immense we might struggle to take it in. Yet this, James says, is the truth: you are the beloved of God. Look deeply, look Christologically, at the word of God—see all scripture through Jesus, for he reveals both the Father's heart and our true identity. Invite the Holy Spirit to help you see it. The reality is better than you've imagined: you are loved, pursued, made new in Christ. My prayer for myself, for my family, and for you is that after seeing who you are in the mirror of God's word, you will not forget, but reflect that love in this world—in your relationships, in your home, everywhere God leads you. May we not be wanderers any longer, but living witnesses to the grace that has found us, restored us, and made us whole. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

The post Worship The Right Way – 2 Samuel 6:12b-15 – December 13, 2025 first appeared on Enduring Word.
On October 6, 2023, Rabbi Meir Soloveichik sat at his desk facing a deadline for his monthly column. Israel's citizens were then furiously debating judicial reform, but he'd already had his say on that matter. He decided to write about something else instead: a Jeopardy episode where three educated contestants stared blankly when asked to identify the source of this line: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death." This, among the most famous images in all of Western literature, comes of course from Psalm 23. And none of the contestants knew it. Rabbi Soloveichik submitted the piece on October 6, hours before the festival of Shemini Atzeret. The next morning, October 7, the Jewish people would be thrust into the valley of the shadow of death. T'hillim, as the Psalm are known in Hebrew, would, over the following weeks and months, accompany the Jewish people's every thought. Their distress could be articulated in David's very own words, linking their pain to his pain, their redemptive dreams to his redemptive dreams, their future to his future. In his new podcast, "Poetry and Prayer: A Daily Journey Through the Psalms," Soloveichik walks listeners through all 150 psalms, one by one. For today's episode, he sits down with Jonathan Silver, the editor of Mosaic, to discuss this ambitious project. He puts forward a striking claim in the course of the conversation: the Psalms represent something unprecedented in ancient literature. While Homer or Gilgamesh depict external action—heroic deeds, cosmic battles—the Psalms take their reader (or reciter) inside someone else's soul. The Psalmist explores the full range of human emotion—doubt and faith, despair and joy, rage and delight—all while maintaining an awareness of God's presence. It's the first example in world literature of what the critic Edward Cahill calls "the eye of interiority." When Iranian missiles fell on their cities at 2:00 am one night, Israelis immediately Googled "T'hillim" on their iPhones. An IDF soldier named Yossi Hershkovitz composed a new melody to Psalm 23 while serving in Gaza, and was killed days later—his tune surviving because a comrade taught it to his children. In America, the Psalms shaped the country's founding, from the First Continental Congress reading Psalm 35 to Lincoln quoting from the book in his Second Inaugural. More recently, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a speech in Jerusalem's City of David connecting American exceptionalism to the very site where the Psalms were written.

Kendrick Diaz discusses Hebrews 2:10—“For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.”
In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus tells His disciples that “the one who endures to the end will be saved” (Matthew 24:13). What does Jesus mean by this? How should we understand endurance in light of the Bible's clear teaching that those who belong to Christ cannot lose their salvation?In this sermon on Matthew 24:8–13, we examine these important questions by looking closely at the context of Jesus' words and the relationship between endurance and the assurance.This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.
