Podcasts about god today

In this episdoe of Theologcailyl Fashioned, we're joined by Dr. Josh Morgan to explore how spiritual disciplines help us grow closer to God - not as a checklist of tasks, but as intentional practices that shape and position our hearts for transformation. Together, we unpack the beauty and purpose behind disciplines like prayer, Scripture, and silence and how they fashion us into people who are continurally being renewed by Christ.  This conversation is an invitation to deeper formation and a reminder that spiritual growth is less about striving and more about surrender.  Connect with me on instagram @itmonicaritchie for more conversations about theology, Scripture, and faithful living as a woman of God.  Connect with Dr. Josh Morgan   Instagram @Joshuasethmorgan  Podcast: Feel Closer to God Today on the 8ish Minute Bible Study Podcast Website: Dr. Josh Morgan

Will I dare ask myself if greed is an issue in my life? Will I dare ask myself if greed is an issue in my life? What is keeping me away from God today? Could greed be a problem? There's a French saying: some people are so poor, all they have is money. Today we are talking about replacing greed, and all forms of idolatry, with joy. Greed. What does the Bible say about it?  Proverbs 1:19 - Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors. Proverbs 11:28  -Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf. Greed doesn't give. Greed robs. Greed robs YOU of joy. Make sure to check out the optional-but-oh-so-helpful mini e-book to go along with the series at gospelspice.com/wisdom To start us off, Stephanie challenges us--and herself--with seven questions to self-diagnose if we have unknowingly fallen victim to greed, in one form or another: 1.     Is it MY money or God's? 2.    What would I do differently if I knew I would be dead in a year? 3.     WHY do I want more money? 4.     How do I spend my time? thinking of ways to earn more, or of ways to advance God's Kingdom? 5.     How would I behave if I lost everything? 6.     Am I truly generous? 7.     Do I compromise character to make more money? Then we ponder the link between joy and righteousness and the only true cure against greed. Idolatry is misplaced worship.  Proverbs describes where joy cannot be found. The summary of the entire book of Proverbs can be found in Mark 8:36: "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" That's the definition of unrighteousness. Joy "must be sharply distinguished both from happiness and from pleasure" - CS Lewis Joy is “unsatisfied desire, which is itself more desirable than any other satisfaction.” – CS Lewis again. God promises to give us a joy that surpasses anything this world has to offer. Here's the question: how much of your life to do you spend experiencing this joy, vs looking for joy elsewhere? Psalm 35:27 - Let those who delight in my righteousness shout for joy and be glad and say evermore, “Great is the Lord, who delights in the welfare of his servant!” Haydn, the great musician, was once asked why his church music was so cheerful, and he replied: "When I think upon God, my heart is so full of joy that the notes dance and leap, as it were, from my pen ; and since God has given me a cheerful heart, it will be pardoned me that I serve Him with a cheerful spirit." Joy is the juice of gladness that comes from the fruit of peace, itself springing up from the ground of righteousness – our righteousness in Christ. Matthew Henry defines joy as "a constant delight in God." Who does the work of transforming our hearts to find satisfaction in God? God Himself is the One who transforms our heart to increasingly see Christ as our supreme treasure, even as we seek to find our satisfaction in Him. Cyprian was a third-century North African. As he was anticipating death, he penned these last words to his friend Donatus in 258AD: “It's a bad world, an incredibly bad world. But I have discovered in the midst of it a quiet and holy people who have learned a great secret. They have found a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasure of our sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They are masters of their souls. They have overcome the world. These people are the Christians—and I am one of them.” This is an episode you do not want to miss. We look forward to serving you through it this week! MEET OUR CHARACTER OF THE WEEK  It had been a good year for John. He had managed to obtain a bonus packet worth a small fortune. It would go towards the purchase of his new beach house. Despite this formidable win, it bothered him that others in his industry made more. After all, he deserved every Benjamin, and then some. Sure, his recent promotion had come by a lot of backstabbing. Good for him. The corporate pie was only big enough to share among the most ruthless sharks, and he wants the biggest slice he could get his teeth on. John was determined to keep his focus on multiplying his assets this year, and fast. Today is all that matters. Faster, stronger, better. Last week, in the middle of a heated discussion about a takeover bid that was going to earn him that next nice bundle, John had a stroke. He is now on his hospital bed, slowly recovering. For the first time since he can remember, he has time to think. He is wondering if big money really is all that it is cracked up to be. He loves life with money, but what would money be without life? Hum. Would you say that John has reaped joy from the money he is accumulating? There's a French saying: “some people are so poor, all they have is money.” John is plagued with a self-imposed case of greed. Greed is idolatry: it is valuing something—anything—more than God. It's the “just-a-bit-more” mentality: “if only I had this, then…” The problem is, it is a moving target that never satisfies. Greed is the agony of “never enough.” It makes us ignore or forget God in our pursuit of “more.” Eventually, it slowly brainwashes us to believe that God, like everything else we've tried, is “never enough.” Greed makes us forget about eternity; it replaces our God-given perspective of Heaven with a world-centered focus on today. The change can be so subtle, though, that it is almost never self-diagnosed. Let's be the exception! Whether the Holy Spirit whispers it to us through our time in prayer, or in the study of His word, or through a true friend, let's identify any seed of idolatry in our heart. Greed, like any form of idolatry, never gives. Greed robs. It robs us of joy. The alternative to greed is joy—joy in God Himself. It is joy in our relationship with Him, not for what He can give us, but for the sheet delight of relationship. As C.S. Lewis puts it, joy in God is “unsatisfied desire, which is itself more desirable than any other satisfaction.” This is what I would wish to tell John: God promises to give us a joy that surpasses anything this world has to offer. Scripture challenges us to embrace the universe through the lens of faith. This perspective from Heaven promises us hope and joy. And yet, how often do we look for joy elsewhere? As Christians, we easily acknowledge that God is the almighty, living, ruling Lord of all. He is one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who dwells in heaven, a place of eternal joy. The psalmist says, "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” (Psalm 16:1, NIV). But do we really experience this? Joy has been God's ambition since Day One—literally. God created the universe for His own pleasure and enjoyed doing it. He created planet earth as our breathtaking dwelling place. He fashioned man and woman in His image to glorify Him, to live and rule in peace and joy. The totality of His creation made Him smile and He called it "very good." Then something went very wrong. Iniquity appeared, and earth became a place of sorrow, a troubled segment of the universe where idolatry and greed now reign in humans' hearts. God knew it would unfold so. The plan was already in place: at the appointed time, His Son Jesus came on a pre-planned mission to free the earth from its curse and return its people to an abundant life of hope, joy, and faith. Nothing could be further from puny greed. "For the joy set before Him," Jesus endured the cross. It means that He took our sin from us, accomplished our salvation, died, and rose again to everlasting life in the kingdom of heaven. To those who receive Him as Lord and acknowledge Him as Savior, Jesus Christ promises forgiveness, redemption from sin, a new birth, answers to prayer, the outpouring of His Holy Spirit of love, victory over death, and the everlasting joy of heaven. Jesus lives today at the Father's right hand in resurrected glory and fullness of joy; He has promised to come back for His church and to take us where He is. That is the essence of joy in God, and it is ours to cling to.

In this encore episode of the Smarticle Podcast, we discuss Melissa Matthews' book 'When Sorrow Comes,' which explores the changing nature of sermons in America from Pearl Harbor to Black Lives Matter. We examine how religious leaders have historically provided comfort during national crises and compare the introspective sermons post-Pearl Harbor to the more nationalistic ones after 9/11. The conversation expands to critique American exceptionalism, the politicization of evangelical Christianity, and the need for independent thinking in religious teachings. Personal anecdotes and broader social and political implications are also considered.   00:00 Introduction to 'When Sorrow Comes'   00:41 Historical Shifts in Sermons   01:24 Personal Reflections on 9/11   02:10 Independent Thinking from the Pulpit   02:48 American Exceptionalism and Christianity   03:33 America's Complex Religious History   04:28 Contrasting Responses to Tragedies   05:17 Modern Evangelicalism and Politics   06:20 Pastoral Influence and Responsibility   07:30 Concluding Thoughts on Faith and Patriotism   smarticlepodcast@gmail.com   #joy #hope #smarticle #godtalk #americanexceptionalism @Smarticleshow  @BDDoble @larryolson threads.net/@smarticleshow @brand.dobes The Smarticle Podcast  https://www.smarticlepodcast.com/

Summary: As we walk with the Lord in our daily lives we are fulfilling the scripture “He must increase and we must decrease.” As we decrease in ourselves, God tells us to reach into His love so that we may be filled and able to express that love to others. It is this love moving through us that will be the force that will touch people's hearts and bring His Kingdom to this earth. Show Notes: As we continue to walk with the Lord we must decrease and He must increase in our lives. We must continue to reach into this deep love of God and express it to people around us. In our daily walk we must see that people around us live on many different dwelling places with many different expressions in God. We must not criticize or judge our brother just because they are different. We are to love people with His love. God's love is what is going to rule and reign in the earth. The Kingdom of God is all about His love. We must not eventuate people, but simply love them. God's love is available for us to love people with. Quotes: As we're reaching into Him, and we're decreasing in ourselves, that's where the life is at. That's exactly where we're going to receive our sustenance, and have this ability to live and walk in the spirit. God is, He's drawing us up short in our love factor. There is a level of love that we have not yet attained in God. And it's a pure love for people. God loves His creation. He's not willing that any perish. And there are all different places, all different abiding places in the Lord. Different levels, different people, but they're all functioning as a part of what God has created and brought forth. It's so important that we don't look and judge. There's only one judge. There's only one that's going to judge, and that's God. ...

In this devotional message, the speaker emphasizes the importance of listening to and obeying the voice of God. Drawing parallels with Noah's experience as described in Genesis and Hebrews, the speaker highlights how Noah heard God's warning about the impending flood and obediently built the ark, saving his family. In modern times, amidst numerous distractions and voices, it's crucial to discern God's voice, which aligns with His word. The speaker urges the audience to yield to God, heed His warnings, and prepare for the Lord's return, underscoring the urgency with references to current events like the frequency of death in their community. The session concludes with a prayer for comfort, encouragement, and guidance. 00:00 Introduction and Greetings 00:33 The Message of Elijah Hoffman's Song 01:59 The Importance of Listening to God's Voice 03:15 Noah's Obedience to God's Voice 05:29 God's Continued Communication 07:47 The Urgency of Being Ready 08:36 Conclusion and Prayer

If you are like me you jump up out of bed, check for emergency text messages, check the weather, rush through your morning devotional time so you can get on to the real work of the day. Just recently Martha and I were reading a book by Kim Avery “The Prayer Powered Entrepreneur” and she suggests a different approach. Kim suggests that when we have our morning quiet time, be quiet and ask our Lord what His priorities are for us today. Instead of letting distractions rule our day, ask the Lord to prioritize our day so His will is done. I'm going to try this from now on, and maybe you would like to do the same. Lord, what is at the top of your priority list for today? I pray that I can do this the rest of my life, what about you?
