Stop tithing harder and start asking a different question. Most Christians spend their whole life begging God for the breakthrough and never realize the reason it has not shown up is not that they have not asked enough. It is because they are still doing three things every single week that make it impossible for Him to bless what is already in their hands.I am recording this one from inside my own storm. I am watching myself do at least one of these three things right now, and I am not standing over anyone. I am standing next to you.After years of doing loans for Christians, I can tell you these three mistakes show up over and over again in every borrower who prays for the financial breakthrough and never actually gets it. God is not being cruel. He is being wise. Every one of these mistakes is a character issue disguised as a money problem, and the blessing does not go where the character cannot hold it.What we cover:Mistake One: Chasing the Joneses. God cannot bless a life built to impress other people. The blessing arrives, and it gets consumed instantly because the lifestyle is already too big for the income. I share what this cost me in my past life, close to $100,000 in debt trying to keep up with people who were themselves on the verge of bankruptcy.Mistake Two: Financing your impatience. The tools that let you have things now are the same tools that guarantee you never actually own them. Credit cards, buy here pay here, buy now pay later, financing everything. Impatience is the sin behind the financing, and when you finance everything, you are telling God His timing is too slow for you. I share what I am doing right now in my own life to break this pattern.Mistake Three: Not being faithful with the little. If God trusted you with $500 and you blew it, why would He trust you with $50,000? He is not being cruel. He is being consistent. Faithful in little is the doorway to being trusted with much.Scriptures referenced:Luke 12:15, Proverbs 21:5, Luke 16:10The real reason God is not blessing your finances is not that He has forgotten you. It is because He loves you too much to hand you a blessing that would destroy you. Every one of these mistakes is something you can start correcting today.If this episode hit you, the last episode covers the one question you have to answer before the breakthrough shows up.

I'd like to briefly recap the story I told about the young boy who was attacked by an alligator. He had jumped into the swimming hole and as he swam out, an alligator swam toward him. His father was nearby, and he ran to the lake to rescue his son. As he reached from the dock for his son's hands, the alligator grabbed his legs, and a tug of war ensued. But this father was not letting go, and he dug his fingers into the boy's arms to hold him. A farmer driving by heard the screams, ran to the lake and shot the alligator. But of course, the boy's legs were greatly scarred, and he spent days in the hospital recovering. When asked to show the scars on his legs, the boy did so, but then with obvious pride, he said, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. They are there because my Dad wouldn’t let go.” In Romans 8 Paul tells us those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God, and because of that, we can cry, “Abba, Father.” We are permitted to call the God of creation by an intimate term, a family name, if you please—Abba, Father, Papa. He is our heavenly father, and he will never let us go. I think of a friend of mine who never knew her father; he abandoned her before she was born. Others have fathers who simply neglected them, and still others have fathers who abused them. If that is true for you, your concept of a father is likely warped. But let me assure you God is your heavenly Father, and he is perfect. Don't transfer your negative experience with your earthly father to God, because you will then miss the joy of fellowshipping with him as Father, Abba, Papa. I had a wonderful earthly father who never neglected me or mistreated me, but even he could not promise to never leave me. My heavenly Father can say, I will never leave you or forsake you, and I have full assurance he will always be with me. He will not let me go, and the same is true for you, if you are his child. Let me close with these wonderful verses from Romans 8: For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39).

God will never let go of you! If you have accepted Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of your life, he is committed to you and will keep you for all eternity. Jesus said, My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one (John 10:27-30). Maybe you're thinking, “Yeah, but Mary, you don't know what I've done. I've committed a sin, knowingly, and I've wandered far from God.” That may be sadly true, but it doesn't change the promise Jesus gave us. If—and that is an important “if”—you have truly been born from above through faith in Jesus Christ, you can't even jump out of his hand. Your own disobedience and sin are not strong enough to break his grip on you. I would remind you of David, a man after God's own heart. You can't go much further wrong as a believer than David did, committing adultery and murder. He tried to cover it up, to bury it and forget it, but until he confessed it and admitted his guilt, he was the most miserable person alive. That's always true for a believer. If you are living in willful disobedience to God's principles, as a true child of God, you will be more and more miserable until you come to full repentance. Read Psalm 51 to remind yourself of David's agony because of his sin. None of us escape the consequences of our sin, whether believers or not, but nothing can separate a true believer from God's love. Not even our sin. I want to encourage you today to come back to God with a repentant heart, with a commitment to forsake your sin and walk in his way, and he will restore to you the joy of your salvation, just as he did to David. My own story corroborates this truth, for I foolishly chose to walk away from my commitment to God's principles for a period of ten years—ten long years. It wasn't ignorance, but it was a willful determination to run my own life and get what I wanted. I failed miserably in that endeavor, and at the end of my emotional and mental rope, I came back to God, truly repentant, and he has proven himself to be a God of great mercy and grace to me. That was many years ago, and I can testify God simply never let go of me. He let me run my own show, until I ran it into the ground, and then he restored me.

2 Kings 14:1-7

Earlier I told the story of a boy who was rescued from the jaws of an alligator by a father who would not let go. And afterward the boy showed with pride the scars on his arm where his father dug in and held on against a much stronger animal who was trying to devour his son. Just as this young boy foolishly and ignorantly dove into the dangerous water where this alligator lived, we as children of God sometimes foolishly dive into dangerous situations, not knowing what lies ahead. The swimming hole of life is filled with peril, and we forget the enemy is waiting to attack. The Bible says the enemy of our soul, Satan, prowls about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour, kind of like an alligator. Peter goes on to say, Resist him, standing firm in the faith…And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast (1 Peter 5:9–10). If you feel like you're in the alligator swamp right now and they're ready to take you under, remember God has said if you are called to his eternal glory in Christ, he will himself restore you and make you strong again—after you have suffered a little while. God is not going to let go of you. But why does he allow us to suffer a little while? Unlike the story of the father who fought to save his son, God is not helpless against Satan. He could deliver us sooner rather than later, and we puzzle as to why he doesn't, don't we? There are various reasons God allows his children to endure suffering, and one reason is to bring us to maturity so our lives will bring glory to God. In writing about suffering, James said, Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy (James 5:10-11). James reminds us in retrospect, as we look back to the suffering saints of old, we consider them blessed who persevered through suffering, and he uses Job as an example. In other words, James says, “Get the big picture here. Look beyond your momentary pain and consider what God is doing through your suffering.” Whether your suffering is a result of your wrongdoing or someone else's or it's just the hardships of life, it didn't catch God by surprise, and he intends to use it for your good. He is not going to let go of you, so hang on and trust him. He is a trustworthy God.

Psalm 146: The Only Kind of Promises God Won't Keep July 29, 2026

Are you in a tough place right now? I want to encourage you to know God will never let go of you. When we are born from above, the Bible teaches us nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. God won't let go of you! Think of Elijah. You remember the story found in 1 Kings 18, where Elijah challenged all the prophets of Baal, with great courage, and their pagan gods could not deliver them. Elijah triumphed over all that evil, proving Jehovah God was the only true God. It was an incredible victory. But the very next day, brave Elijah becomes a coward, fearful of one woman, Jezebel, who has threatened to kill him. And he starts running for his life. Elijah no doubt would have been diagnosed today as having a deep depression, even as being deluded, as he ran for his life. But God didn't let go, and with great patience and kindness, he nurtured him back to strength, taught him some wonderful lessons, and brought him out of that deep funk an even better man of God. Are you there today? Has your faith failed you; are you full of fear? Are you in that kind of deep depression where everything looks hopeless, you feel worthless, and you're sure life is coming to an end—at least life with any meaning? I want to encourage you today to know God won't let go of you. He will patiently guide you back to wholeness, as he did with Elijah. How did Elijah recover? He needed some rest and some nourishment, first of all. When you are physically depleted, it will affect you spiritually and emotionally. So, God put him in quiet place for some rest and nourishment. Then he reminded Elijah of who God is, he helped him get beyond the pity party he was having, and then he sent Elisha to be his companion and coworker. God never let go of Elijah, and if you are his child, he will not let go of you. David wrote: For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock (Psalm 27:5).

God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle: Christian Cliche´s - Part 2 by

Years ago, someone sent me this story, which illustrates a wonderful truth. Let me tell it for you. On a hot summer day in Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. He flew into the water, not realizing as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator was swimming toward the shore. His father saw what was happening, and he ran toward the water, yelling to his son. The little boy made a U-turn to swim to his father. It was too late. From the dock, the father grabbed his little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father, but the father would not let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard the screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator. Remarkably, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred and on his arms were deep scratches where his father’s fingernails dug into his flesh in his effort to hang on to the son he loved. The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too, because my Dad wouldn’t let go.” Maybe you can identify with that little boy. You have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some are unsightly and have caused you deep pain or regret. But some wounds are because God has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, he’s been there holding on to you. Think of Joseph. His brothers sold him into slavery in Egypt. Joseph didn't deserve to be so terribly mistreated, but there he was, a slave and a prisoner in Egypt. But God never let go of Joseph, because Joseph never forsook his faith in Jehovah God. And he was used by God to deliver many people, including his own family, from starvation. I wonder how many times, as he sat in that prison, he just wanted to give up. It looked hopeless, but God didn't let go. If you're in what looks like a hopeless situation right now, remember God is not going to let go of you, if you are his child by faith in Jesus Christ. God won't let go of you!

In this heartfelt conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with beloved Bible teacher Anne Graham Lotz (daughter of Billy Graham) and her daughter, Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright, to explore the timeless story of Joseph through their new book, God Won't Leave You There. Together they unpack what Joseph's life teaches us about trusting God through unexpected hardship, betrayal, seasons of waiting, and life's sudden detours. From devastating setbacks to remarkable redemption, Anne and Rachel-Ruth share deeply personal stories of cancer, heart attacks, and family trials, revealing how God remained faithful in their darkest moments. They discuss the importance of maintaining a strong work ethic, serving others even while suffering, choosing forgiveness over bitterness, and embracing the character God builds during seasons we would never choose for ourselves. The conversation also offers practical encouragement for parents, touching on favoritism, speaking blessings over our children, and creating a family legacy rooted in faith. It's a rich, hope-filled discussion that reminds us that no matter how long the waiting lasts, God is always working behind the scenes, and He never leaves us where we are.

How can God's Word reveal His character to us in seasons of suffering? What can the stories of those in Scripture teach us as we walk through the valleys of pain?Authors and Bible teachers Anne Graham Lotz and Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright were raised on a firm foundation of faith and have spent their lives passionately teaching and sharing God's Word. Yet it was through their own personal trials—Anne's sudden loss of her husband and then her father, evangelist Billy Graham, as well as her cancer diagnosis, and Rachel-Ruth's series of heart-related health challenges and subsequent PTSD—that God illuminated powerful lessons about suffering through the story of Joseph.Drawing from these experiences, Anne and Rachel-Ruth share the wisdom and hope found in their latest book, God Won't Leave You There: Joseph's Story.In this conversation, Davey, Anne, and Rachel-Ruth discuss how our deepest messages often emerge from our own stories, how to overcome bitterness, and how to discover what God wants to teach us through our pain.If you find yourself in a pit like Joseph, wondering where God is, this episode will remind you that no matter what you're facing, God won't leave you there.

We talk about healing as though it's inevitable. As though proximity to Scripture, therapy language, or Christian community automatically produces transformation. But God does not force anyone into wholeness. He invites. He confronts. He calls. And too many believers confuse awareness with growth. This week on Win Today, Debra Fileta joins me for a sober conversation about emotional health and spiritual maturity. We examine why so many Christians remain emotionally immature while sounding spiritually fluent, how "trauma-informed" has in some circles become trauma-defined identity, and why you cannot become spiritually mature if your mental and emotional life is neglected. Healing is not passive. It is participatory. If your faith is sincere but your reactions are volatile… if you know the right language but keep repeating the same patterns… or if you've mistaken self-protection for self-awareness, this episode will clarify what real growth actually requires.

Have you been praying about your business and feeling like God is completely silent? Friend, you are not broken and he has not stopped speaking.  In this episode, I break down the real reason Christian women can't hear God clearly in their businesses, and it has nothing to do with your faith level or how hard you've been trying.  This episode introduces the S.T.A.T.I.C Blockers Framework- three core reasons you are missing God's voice: Speed (moving too fast to receive), Trust Deficit (hearing Him but not believing it's Him), and Agenda (coming to God with an answer instead of a question). Each blocker is grounded in Scripture, including 1 Kings 19:12, John 10:27, Proverbs 3:5-6, James 1:5, and Psalms 46:10. You'll learn why God's voice is a whisper not a burning bush, and why consistency in the quiet is how you build the frequency to hear Him.  You will learn a practical Four-Step Action Plan: creating a daily 15-minute God slot, writing down every business nudge you've been dismissing, identifying your hidden agenda, and praying a specific surrender prayer out loud. These are the steps that actually change things. God is not playing hide and seek with you. He is not withholding. He is a generous, communicative God who has been trying to get through and the only thing standing between you and His voice is the static you're allowing.  I pray this episode helps you get quiet enough to hear Him.   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?   Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp! I'll show you how to create a podcast that makes steady income on autopilot, without relying on social media.

Many people live their lives fearful or worried that God will drop them – either by accident or because He's found something "better." But the truth is you are God's special possession and you are completely secure in His hands! In this week's message, Maria Pedone shares her experience learning this lesson and discovering that God will never drop her!

Many people are spiritually thirsty, not realizing the living water they need is already within reach.

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with discernment, obedience, and unwavering trust in God—especially during seasons of change, disruption, and spiritual growth. Led by Lee Arnold and Jaclyn Arnold, Be Bold for Jesus Ministries teaches God's Word with clarity and conviction, encouraging believers to embrace God's refining work rather than settle into spiritualcomplacency.Today's Message“God Loves You Too Much to Settle”Lee Arnold LiveScripture: Jeremiah 48:1–47Jeremiah 48 contains God's message to the nation of Moab—a prosperous, comfortable, andpowerful people who had become consumed by pride. For generations, Moab enjoyed security,wealth, and stability. They had been at rest from youth, untouched by the hardships and challengesthat often drive people closer to God.Using the imagery of winemaking, Jeremiah describes Moab as wine that had never been pouredfrom vessel to vessel. Left sitting too long, the wine became stagnant and bitter. In the same way,Moab's comfort produced complacency, and complacency produced pride.Key Takeaways• Comfort is not always a blessing—sometimes it becomes a spiritual danger• God often pours us from vessel to vessel to prevent complacency• Pride grows when we stop depending on God• Trials and disruptions can be evidence of God's refining work• Prayerlessness is often a symptom of self-reliance• God opposes pride but gives grace to the humble• God's promises and warnings always come to passToday's ReminderGod is far more concerned with your spiritual growth than your personal comfort. He knows that ifwe stay in the same place too long, we can become stagnant, self-sufficient, and spirituallyineffective. Jeremiah 48 reminds us that God doesn't disrupt our lives because He has abandonedus. He disrupts our lives because He loves us. The question is not: Why is God changing things?The real question is: Will you trust Him enough to be poured where He leads?Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – He's The Solution Interactive Discussion• Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God's WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026October 2–3, 2026Tickets & information at BB4J.comSupport the MissionGive at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #Jeremiah48 #GodLovesYouTooMuchToSettle #SpiritualGrowth #TrustGod#FaithOverComfort #BibleTeachin

And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.2 Corinthians 3:188 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.1 John 4:8Love is not something God does, it's who He is.And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.2 Corinthians 3:18GOD WON'T, UNTIL I'VE…God cares about fixing you more than you do.HOW DOES JESUS TRANSFORM US?After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades. 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. 5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.John 5:1-9A multitude of needy people were there, yet none of them looked to Jesus. A blindness had come over these people at the pool; there they were, and there was Christ, who could heal them, but not a single one of them sought him. Their eyes were fixed on the water, expecting it to be troubled; they were so taken up with their own chosen way that the true way was neglected.Charles SpurgeonA LOOK6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time,John 5:6GOD ALWAYS MOVES FIRST17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram,Genesis 15:17-187 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Matthew 6:7-8A QUESTION6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”John 5:6A WORD8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.John 5:8-9Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.Romans 12:2A STEP14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.” John 5:14We haven't arrived until we look just like Him.And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.Philippians 1:6

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, "Temptation," by discussing various temptations with experts in their respective fields and how they overcome them. Our first guest, Anne Graham Lotz, joined us to talk about the subtle temptations believers face, explaining how self-consciousness, self-reliance, and spiritual laziness can pull us away from faith, even as God calls us to focus on Jesus, walk by the Spirit, and meet with Him daily. Anne is known for her deep biblical wisdom, speaks globally, and authored “God Won’t Leave You There.” Lina AbuJamra joined us as well to talk about temptation, explaining how believers can move past shame, understand what drives their desires, and run to the throne of grace, where Christ provides a way of escape. Lina is the founder of Living With Power Ministries and ministers to singles through her Moody Radio show, “Today’s Single Christian,” and also hosts “The Hope Podcast.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

What if your worship isn't being received the way you think it is? In Matthew 5:23-26, Jesus gives one of the most sobering teachings in the Sermon on the Mount. You travel days to bring your offering. You finally arrive at the altar. And Jesus says stop. If your brother has something against you, leave your gift, go make it right, and then come back to worship. Jesus makes it clear: you cannot be right with God while refusing to deal with broken relationships. Whether you're carrying the offense or someone else is carrying it against you, the responsibility to pursue peace is yours. Unresolved offense doesn't just damage relationships. It hinders worship and gives the enemy room to work. To be presence driven is to refuse to walk in offense.

Series: Contending for the Faith Title: “Why Hold on if God Won't Let Go?” Scripture: Jude 24-25 NIV Psalm 37:23-24 Psalm 139:23-24 Proverbs 24:16 John 10:27-30 Romans 8:38-39 Ephesians 1:13-14 Hebrews 13:5 1 John 2:19 1 John 5:13 Bottom line: We hold on because he holds us. INTRODUCTION CONTEXT OUTLINE CONCLUSION DISCUSSION QUESTIONS NOTES YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION MAIN REFERENCES USED My opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. OPENING STORY "He is able to keep..." Watch a parent walk a small child along the edge of a busy sidewalk. The child is doing real walking — short, wobbly, determined steps, working as hard as little legs can work. And then she trips. Of course she does; her foot catches the curb and she pitches forward. But she doesn't hit the pavement. She never even gets close. Her hand is wrapped inside a bigger hand, and the instant she goes, that hand lifts and steadies and sets her back on her feet before the fall can finish. She stumbled — but she did not fall. Jude has spent his whole letter telling us to walk a dangerous edge: in the midst of false and deceptive teachers, contend, build, keep, rescue — right alongside the place where others have already gone over and not come back. Now, in the last two verses, he shows us the hand. “To him who is able to keep you from stumbling.” Or as the psalmist said it long before: "Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand" (Psalm 37:24). The missteps still come. The fatal fall never does — because the grip holding you is not your own. Said another way, we may find ourselves in the ditch along the narrow way...but he's right there pulling us out of the muck and mire back onto the highway of our God. Too Busy in this life A traveler once walked more than 700 miles to see Niagara Falls. As he neared his destination, he heard a distant roar and asked a nearby farmer, “Is that Niagara Falls?” The farmer replied, “I don't know. It might be.” Surprised, the traveler asked, “Do you live here?” “Born and raised here,” the farmer said. “And you've never gone to see the falls?” “No, stranger. I've been too busy looking after my farm.” What a tragedy—to live within the sound of one of the world's greatest wonders and never take the time to see it. And yet many Christians do something similar. We know heaven is coming. We know we will stand in the presence of God's glory. We hear about it every week. But we become so busy with the things of this world that we lose our appetite for the world to come. Jude reminds us that God is keeping us for something far greater: to be presented before His glorious presence, blameless and with great joy. Poem "Some want to live within the sound Of church or chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop Within a yard of hell." CONTEXT The entire letter begins and ends with God's keeping power: * Jude 1 — “To those who have been called, who are loved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.” * Jude 21 — “Keep yourselves in God's love…” * Jude 24 — “To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you…” * Jude 25 — Doxology praising the God who does the keeping. That creates a beautiful tension: Kept by God (v.1) → Keep yourselves in God's love (v.21) → Kept by God (v.24). The question practically preaches itself: “If God is holding me, why does Jude tell me to hold on?” Imagine being swept toward a waterfall. You know you cannot save yourself. Then a strong rescuer reaches you and takes hold of your arm. The question isn't whether he will hold on. The question is: Why would you not hold on to him? That's the tension in Jude. God has taken hold of us. Therefore, we keep ourselves in His love. Not to earn His rescue. Not to maintain His rescue. But because His rescue is already underway. “Why Hold On If He's Holding You?” That raises one of the most important questions in the Christian life: Is my salvation ultimately dependent on how tightly I hold onto God—or how tightly God holds onto me? OUTLINE (Help from Shaddix/Akin) I. God holds/keeps me. (Jude 1, 24) i.e. I am saved and secured by God's power, promise, person, and praise. A. We are secure because of God's power “To him who is able…” Not merely willing. Able. Cross references: * John 10:28-29 * Romans 8:38-39 * Philippians 1:6 B. We are secure because of God's promise If eternal life can be lost, it was never eternal. Cross references: * John 6:37-40 * John 17:12 * Hebrews 10:14 C. We are secure because of God's person God does not change. The One who called you is the One who keeps you. Cross references: * Malachi 3:6 * 2 Timothy 2:13 * Hebrews 13:8 D. We are secure because of God's praise Verse 25 is worship. Jude cannot discuss salvation without ending in doxology. The doctrine of eternal security is not merely comfort. It is fuel for worship. The point is not: “Look how strong my faith is.” The point is: “Look how great my Savior is.” II. I am to keep hold of God's love. (Jude 21) God keeps me by helping me hold on to him and his love. Many people have asked: “If God keeps me, why must I keep myself?” Answer: Because security is not an excuse for passivity. Illustrate: A child walking through a crowded airport. The child holds Dad's hand. Dad also holds the child's hand. Which grip matters most? Dad's. Yet the child still holds on. The father may even let go of the child's hand in the airport to give the child a little more freedom and the child may stay close because they know that's where they're secure. But the human condition is that we are prone to wander from his grip hurting our fellowship with him. Not that we can get away from him and his security, but that we can wander far enough to impact our fellowship and assurance negatively. Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love.” “Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.” …because relationship requires abiding John 15. …because obedience strengthens assurance Not salvation. Assurance. …because spiritual drift is real The false teachers in Jude prove this. …because God uses means Prayer. Scripture. Church. Worship. Fellowship. …because the kept become keepers Verses 22-23. We rescue others. …because God's preserving grace produces perseverance This is the key theological answer. The evidence that God is keeping us is that we continue following Him. God's sovereignty and human responsibility are friends, not enemies. You might even summarize: God's grip is the cause. Our grip is the evidence. CONCLUSION Bottom line: We hold on because he holds us. As I've said, we have four daughters. All are married. As we wait for the music to start--in those few moments where your life flashes before you--before you begin to walk down that aisle before God and all those people--I established a tradition that goes back to the days when selfies were the rage. It was 2016. Selfies were a new phenomenon. I'm standing there with Samantha and I can tell she's excited, happy, and, well, emotional,m - on the verge of tears. Now we can't have her makeup running at this moment! So I suggest we do a selfie together as we wait for the thumbs up. It only takes a few seconds. But it gave her a reason to focus on this pic (I'm about to give her away, remember, so I'm emotional too). She leans in with a huge smile and relief and joy swallow us as we take the picture as I miraculously press the right button on the first try. It's an amazing picture. So, yes, I had the privilege to escort them down the aisle and move their hand from mine to another's. It's a humbling moment. There's a moment a father knows well — standing at the back of a sanctuary with his daughter on his arm, about to walk her down the aisle and present her, radiant and whole, to the joy of the whole room. This is a foretaste of the moment when each of us will walk an aisle with our Father and King to meet Jesus in all his glory. Jude 24 says God will one day “present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy.” Notice whose joy that is. Not just ours — His. The God you've been contending for, the One who kept you the whole way, doesn't grit His teeth at the finish line. He delights to present you. That's where this series lands: you held on, yes — but only because He was holding you, and He was glad to do it the entire time. To Him be glory, majesty, power, and authority. Amen. “without fault and with great joy” Most Christians believe: “God will tolerate me in heaven.” Jude says something entirely different. God will present you: * without fault * before His glorious presence * with great joy And I would emphasize: Whose joy? Certainly ours. But also His. God is not reluctantly dragging His children into heaven. He delights to present them. There is a moment a father knows well—standing at the back of a wedding venue with his daughter on his arm, about to walk her down the aisle and present her, radiant and whole, to the joy of the whole room. Jude says something even greater is coming. One day God Himself will present His children before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy. The God who called you. The God who saved you. The God who kept you. Will be the God who presents you. And when that day comes, you will finally discover what Jude has been teaching all along: You were able to hold on only because He never let go of you.

If you’re walking through a difficult season or wondering where God is in your pain, this conversation will remind you that He is with you, He is working, and He will carry you through: He won’t leave you there! In this episode, I sit down with Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright to talk about her book God Won’t Leave You There and how the story of Joseph reveals God’s faithfulness in the middle of suffering, betrayal, and unexpected detours!

God's promises of hope and joy can appear out of reach when you're in a season of suffering or pain, but God always has a purpose. He will either remove the pain or walk with us through it; He will never leave us to suffer alone. Anne Graham Lotz and her daughter, Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright, focus on that theology in their new book, "God Won't Leave You There: Joseph's Story." On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Lotz—daughter of renowned evangelist Billy Graham—and her daughter provide vulnerable anecdotes of their own battles with health issues and personal loss, sharing powerful testimonies to God's power and promise in the face of hardship and heartbreak.

Bro. Matthew Robbins , president Basileia Ministries, Living water Worship Centre https://www.basileiaministries.com/livingwater In this powerful Genesis Bible study, we explore the meaning of consecration, revival, and the manifested presence of God through the life of Jacob, the Ark of the Covenant, and Israel's spiritual battles. This message reveals why outward religion without true surrender cannot produce victory and how recurring struggles often point to areas God is calling us to fully give over to Him. Through teachings from Genesis 35, 1 Samuel, 2 Chronicles, and Romans 12, this sermon explains the difference between God's omnipresence and His manifested presence, the danger of spiritual compromise, and the beauty of repentance and restoration. If you desire deeper intimacy with God, freedom from spiritual battles, and renewed passion for Christ, this message will challenge and encourage your walk with the Lord.

This episode explores why believers can have real confidence that their hope in God will not fail. In Romans 5:1–11, Krisan Marotta explains that salvation does not rest on the strength of our love for God, but instead on God's love for us.In this week's episode, we explore: What it means to have peace with God  Why biblical hope is not wishful thinking, but confident expectation  What Paul means by “the hope of the glory of God” in Romans 5  Why believers can rejoice even in suffering  How trials test faith, produce endurance, and strengthen assurance  Why the cross proves that God will not abandon his people halfway  How God's love and the gift of the Holy Spirit guarantee that hope will not disappoint After listening, you'll better understand why the Christian life is not sustained by your own strength, but by God's faithful love. This episode offers comfort for anyone who fears falling short, showing that the God who reconciles sinners to himself is also the God who brings them safely home.Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastStart Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.

In this episode of “Unscrolled,” host Matthias Walther is joined by Anne Graham Lotz and her daughter Rachel‑Ruth Lotz for a reflective conversation centered on the biblical story of Joseph and its profound relevance for today. As they trace Joseph's journey from betrayal and imprisonment to redemption and purpose, they connect Scripture to their own experiences of suffering, endurance, and calling. Together, they explore what it means to trust God in life's “middle chapters,” when the outcome is unclear and faith is tested—the Bible reveals a God who is actively at work.  Guest bio:  Anne Graham Lotz is a best-selling author, speaker, and founder of Angel Ministries.  Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright is an author and Bible study teacher.   Show Notes:  AnneGrahamLotz.org New Book: "God Won't Leave You There: Joseph's Story"  Book, “Wounded by God's People”  Stay up to date with Museum of the Bible on social media:  Instagram: @museumofBible  X: @museumofBible  Facebook: museumofBible  LinkedIn: museumofBible  YouTube: @museumoftheBible 

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off a new theme, "What are you looking for?" Our guests included Anne Graham Lotz and her daughter Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright. They've written a book called "God Won't Leave You There: Joseph's Story." It shows how God turns trials into purpose. Career advisor, speaker, and author Robert Dickie III joined us as well. He offered encouragement and advice when looking for a career change. Also, Chip Ingram, pastor, author, and CEO & Teaching Pastor of Living on the Edge, shared from his book, "I Choose Joy." Joy is a daily choice through life...even if, and God can give you that strength. Finally, we had some fun taking calls about the things we seem to look for most around the house, like keys, cell phones, socks, and more!

What if one of the most common phrases Christians say… isn't actually in the Bible? “God won't give you more than you can handle” sounds comforting—but it's not Scripture. In fact, it points us in the wrong direction. In this message, we kick off our brand new series That's Not In The Bible by unpacking what God's Word really says about overwhelming seasons, suffering, and dependence on Him. Looking at the life of the Apostle Paul, we discover a powerful truth: God will absolutely allow more than you can handle—not to break you, but to teach you to rely on Him. If you've ever felt crushed, overwhelmed, or like life is just too much… this message is for you. In this message, you'll learn: Why this popular phrase isn't biblical The difference between temptation and life's struggles How God uses overwhelming moments to draw you closer to Him Why you were never meant to handle life on your own Key Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 1:8–9 1 Corinthians 10:13 John 15:5 Stop trying to carry what God never asked you to carry alone.

A lot of us want a deeper walk with God, but we don't always realize how full our lives have become.In this episode, we're talking about what it means to make room for the Holy Spirit in everyday life. Not just in moments of prayer or worship, but in the way we live, think, and respond throughout the day. Sometimes the issue isn't that God isn't present, but that our lives are too full, too loud, or too distracted to recognize His leading.We also look at what it means when we say we follow God, but in practice, other things are still occupying the space meant for Him.This is a conversation about awareness, surrender, and returning God to the center again.tagsHoly Spirit, making room for God, Christian podcast, spiritual growth, walking with God, intimacy with God, hearing God's voice, Christian lifestyle, faith journey, surrender to God, Christian encouragement, God first, prioritizing God, Holy Spirit guidance, Christian YouTube, growing closer to God, distracted faith, spiritual awareness, Christian motivation, relationship with God, faith and obedience, biblical teaching, devotional life, quiet time with God, Christian inspiration

Turning trials into purpose; God did it for a guy named Joseph and He can do it for you. This week, Steve and the gang chat with Anne Graham Lotz and Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright (Billy Graham's daughter and granddaughter, respectively) about a change in perspective that changes everything.

This is how you stop worrying.

Have you ever asked God to just tell you exactly what business you're supposed to start? Maybe you've prayed for clarity, direction, and a clear roadmap… hoping He would reveal every step before you take the first one. If you're waiting for the entire plan before you move forward, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, I'm sharing a powerful revelation the Lord gave me about business clarity and why so many entrepreneurs stay stuck waiting for certainty. I used to want the whole blueprint. I wanted the big, booming voice of God to tell me exactly what to do and how it would all unfold. But that's not usually how God works. Instead of handing us the entire roadmap, He often invites us into something deeper: commitment and obedience. When we take a step forward with what He has already placed on our hearts, clarity begins to unfold along the way. If you've been feeling unsure about your next step in business, this episode will encourage you to stop waiting for perfect clarity and start moving forward with the faith and direction God has already given you.
