Why is hypocrisy a big deal? In this Sunday episode, Pastor Greg Laurie explains that it keeps us from being truthful with ourselves and with God. Discover the warning signs of hypocrisy and find out how you can avoid it in your spiritual walk! Listen in for a message titled, “Honest to God,” Pastor Greg's latest in the series The Upside Down Life, from the book of Acts.   Notes Satan always plants his imitations and fakes in the church to confuse people. We are imperfect people trying to serve a perfect God. We should always be seeking to live Godly lives and become more like Jesus! The further we go in the Christian life, the further we realize we need to go! A hypocrite is someone who deliberately deceives others, pretending to be something they're not. Acts 5 is the story of two hypocrites who found out the hard way that you can't pull the wool over God's eyes. When Jesus walked this earth, He saved His most scathing words for the pharisees. Better to be an honest sinner than a lying, hypocritical saint. Satan comes like a lion. In Acts 5, Satan comes in like a serpent. Every time we see Barnabas (in Acts), he is helping someone. “You have not lied to men but to God.” —Acts 5:4 Better to be a sinner and admit it than to pretend to be something you're not. Judas wanted to appear to be devout when he was in fact devious. The Holy Spirit has come to show us our need for Jesus, but the worst of all sins and the only unforgivable sin is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Scripture Referenced Romans 7:15–18 1 Peter 5:8 Matthew 6:1–2 (MSG) --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

QUESTIONS WE ASK:  What have been some of the challenges along the way in your parenting as a single mother?  What are things that you wish you would have known early on that would have been so helpful to you?  What have you learned about yourself over the years? What have you learned about God? What is the greatest piece of advice you were given? What would you tell people who are trying to figure out how to single parent their children? HIGHLIGHTS:  When Shana's son, Sam, was in early high school, she realized their home was not a safe place. She realized three things: “I needed God. I needed to be healthy. I needed help because the other two things seemed so far out of my grasp.” This shifted my whole approach to life, which led to the end of my marriage and to me being a single parent.  The biggest and most immediate challenge is the lack of partnership. There's a void there. Couple that with all the responsibility that goes into raising a child, managing a home, and managing finances, being intentionally available and present as a parent and it is NOT easy.  “I was processing things spiritually, physically, and emotionally at the same time [as Sam]. It was overwhelming, exhausting, hard, and an incredibly lonely place to be... I felt unrelatable and irrelevant because what I had structured as my life was gone.” Be honest and open about where you are, with people around you and with your kids. You don't have to hide your mess—they're going to see it anyway. It gives you an opportunity to model behavior to your kids—for example, with finances. You can talk to them about how things are tight this month, or how you aren't sure how to manage things. You are showing them how to accept things in life that are hard, and watch you pray over them and work to figure them out.  Extend grace to yourself. You're not going to be perfect at everything. You're going to make mistakes. The question is how you respond to it. If you blow up or disagree with your kids, apologize. Show them that example of humility. “I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that.” or “I meant what I said, but not how I said it. Can we try again?” Allow your kids to join the journey. It's hard to let your kids see you be resilient in your faith. Your kids cannot develop a resilient faith unless they see you modeling it.  God has equipped you to parent your child the way no one else could. He will meet you where you are to succeed.  You have a voice, and it's really important to use it. You were created very purposefully.  God will always do what is GOOD for us—that doesn't mean it's going to be comfortable.  Pray “I want what You want for me, even though it might not be easy, or comfortable. And at the end of the day I know that You are good. That is a truth. So I want what You want for me.” No matter what your day entails, how hard it was, how tired you are, what else is left on your list to do—give your kids ten minutes a day where your focus is entirely on them. Turn off your phone, remove any distractions, and spend that time solely on them. It won't feel like just ten minutes to them.  When you are feeling alone, remember the Holy Spirit is always right there with you, walking alongside you.  Find other adults to pour into your kids in ways you can't. Single moms, pray for Godly men to be in your son's life to meet those needs. Single dads, pray for Godly women to be in your daughter's life to meet those needs.  No matter where you are on the journey, don't miss the blessing.  Nurture your relationship with God. If you don't know what that is, find out.  Pray. Pray over your children, for the people they hang out with, that they'll be caught if they're not behaving, pray for Godly mentors to be brought into their lives to provide what you can't. Pray for yourself to have wisdom, to have mental and emotional fortitude, to be able to raise your kids in a healthy environment.  Take care of yourself spiritually, physically, socially, and emotionally. 

Hey guys, since we've been open about so many elements of our personal faith journeys on this channel, we felt inclined to make this video sharing some shifts that have taken place recently. Our goal in making this is not to bash any person, church or denomination but to share our personal experience and perspectives. Hopefully this will benefit some of you on your Christian journey and you would be able to have grace (we're all figuring this out and no church/ denomination is perfect) while also practicing Godly wisdom and testing everything with the word of God so you don't find yourself out in the weeds. Love you guys.      Thanks for being part of the P&M Fam!! SUBSCRIBE!

May the God of Wonders Bless You!

Ken Ham joins Yvette Hampton to talk about the ministry of Apologetics at Answers in Genesis, the Creation Museum, and the Ark Encounter, and why it's so important to empower our children with Biblical answers to life's questions. In this first interview with Schoolhouse Rocked cast member, Ken Ham, we discuss the importance of the AIG an apologetics ministry, which focuses on the importance that Genesis is foundational to all of the rest of the doctrines in the Bible. We discuss the legacy of Biblical Worldview that Ken Ham's father and mother passed on to their children and how that has grown into a worldwide apologetics ministry. Ken then discusses how moms and dads can follow his parents' guide and pass a Godly legacy on to their children by teaching them the truth of God's Word. Finally, we are reminded that "secular education" is not neutral. All education has a religious worldview and there are only two starting positions, God's word and man's word.

The prophet Elijah, against the Heavenly Court's wishes, taught Rabbi Judah the Prince and his students the secret protocol for bringing about the final redemption. The rabbis almost succeeded, until they were thwarted at the last moment by Elijah himself.* Join us this week to find out what this secret protocol might be, why it is so hard to follow, and how it inevitably brings about the resurrection of the dead. *https://www.sefaria.org/Bava_Metzia.85b.11?lang=bi

Blake Boylston preaches from Psalms 149 on the morning of October 17, 2021 at Chaffee Crossing Baptist Church in Barling, AR.

David Locke

Intro: Paul addresses this issue of false teachings from the perspective of real biblical discipleship. Real discipleship is necessary to recognize and stand firm on the true faith and to live lives that glorify God in every area of our lives. Please notice that the elements of real discipleship has as its foundation prayer. That is the kind of prayer about which we  investigated last week. If you remember, we need to pray for one another that, "We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his wills through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: The New International Version (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011), Col 1:9–10. This is foundational to the process of real discipleship. This morning we will look at the process of real discipleship which is absolutely necessary to recognizing and standing against false teachings. It is also necessary for living for Christ in every area of our lives and, if necessary, living for Christ in a hostile culture. Here is the outline of that process: Bearing Fruit in Every Good Work v. 10 We bear fruit by yielding to the Holy Spirit When we are lead by the Holy Spirit, we will glorify God in everything we do Personally & family Godly stewardship of finances Godly stewardship of relationships School Doing our best in our education Developing work habits and ethic Work/professionally Bring integrity and honesty to the work place Give a good days work for a good days pay Growing in the Knowledge of God v. 10 As we learn to yield to the Holy Spirit, we learn to trust God in deeper ways In the process, God reveals to us through His Word and Spirit, more of His holiness and character We also learn more about our own strengths and weaknesses Being Strengthened with all Power According to His Glorious Might  v. 11 The word for "power" is the word from which we coined the word dynamite "Might" means control and dominion So that you may have great endurance and patience "Endurance" means to bear up under difficult circumstances "Patience" means to have emotional calm in the face of provocation or misfortune usually brought on by other people Giving Joyful Thanks to the Father v.12 "Joyful thanks" is charas eucarsitos e.g. heartfelt thanks based upon God's love and holiness Who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of His holy people in the kingdom of light. v. 12 ἱκανόω: (derivative of ἱκανόςc ‘adequate,' 75.2) to cause someone or something to be adequate for something—‘to make sufficient, to make adequate, to cause to be qualified.' Johannes P. Louw and Eugene Albert Nida, Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament: Based on Semantic Domains (New York: United Bible Societies, 1996), 678. He qualified us to share in the heritance of His Holy people through the Person and Word of Jesus Christ God's kingdom is light v. 13 For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves v. 13 In whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.  v.14 Closing: Here is the question of the day. If you want to recognize and deal with false teachers effectively, then you need to  know the real truth. In other words, we need to know what we believed and why we believe it. In order to do this, we must avail ourselves to studying the Scriptures, prayer, worship, fellowship, and the application of the Word to all aspects of our lives! This is biblical discipleship. It takes commitment, some hard work, lots of honest self-examination under the direction of the Word and the Holy Spirit, and faith to apply what we learn to all areas of our lives.

2 Samuel 12:1-10 by Corey Elliot | Student Pastor

Episode 431 - Show NotesI believe there are people who long for a personal prophecy but what they really need is a word from God that has already been given. There is an old quote that says, “Don't say God is silent if your Bible is not open.”Primarily, the Bible speaks of two types of prophecy: forth-telling and foretelling. Forth telling is the prophetic proclamation of the Word of God. If you attend a church that is faithful to preach the Bible, you have often heard forth-telling prophecy. Have you ever heard a sermon and felt God was speaking directly to your heart? Have you ever thought about how did the pastor know what I am going through? You are receiving a prophetic word from God.We need to return to a healthy respect for the pulpit and the preaching of God's Word. It is here that God speaks to us.The Bible talks about the second type of prophecy: foretelling prophecy. This is a when God uses someone in the gift of prophecy to speak a word about the future or something that is to come. It may be a word that corrects, encourages, or gives direction.If you wonder if God is still using people in the gift of prophecy, I encourage you to read 1 Corinthians chapter 14. Verse 1 says, “Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.” So, the Scripture is instructing us to eagerly desire the gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially prophesy.So, how do we test personal prophecy? How can we discern if a word someone has given us is actually from the Lord? Great questions! I'm so glad you asked.First, prophecy always brings glory and honor to God. Spiritual gifts never glorify man. Being used by God in any spiritual gift should cause us to feel humbled that God would choose to use us.Second, personal prophecy will never conflict with the written word of God. In every prophetic word you should ask, does the prophecy line up with the Bible? The Holy Spirit will never act in contradiction to the written Word of God. He is the One who inspired the Bible in the first place.Third, test the prophecy through Godly counsel. Find trusted friends who are people of prayer and godly character. Process the word given to see if it seems to be from the Lord.Fourth, determine if the personal prophecy was given in love and grace or in anger and judgment.  Prophecy in the New Testament flows from the Spirit of Christ, which is a spirit of grace and love. 1 Corinthians chapter 13 reveals that what matters is that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are operated in love.Deuteronomy 18:22 says, “If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.”1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 says, “Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to what is good.”5Minute Discipleship.com

Invest your efforts in helping the wise grow; none else.  Wisdom's benefits are lifelong, while prostitutes and theft will kill you. 10 -  [ch's 10-24 are Solomon's Bk. 2 of Proverbs]  The contrasts are many: Be a good child / be wise / righteous / diligent / teachable / make plans / be honest / speak thoughtfully/ be gracious & loving / be blessed / rich / anchored / hopeful / helpful.            On the other hand, do not be a rebel / a fool / wicked / lazy / reckless / blindly self-sufficient / tolerant of sin / do not speak curses nor be quarrelsome.  Yap yap yap all the time and you'll be poor, flighty, fearful, selfish, shunned and alone. 11 - Honesty is of God and establishes us. Dishonesty will destroy the cheater.  Righteousness is endless, riches are temporal.  Be a builder not a destroyer.  Godly citizens = a prosperous city / wickedness = decay & demise.  Don't quarrel or gossip -- be honorable and kind.  Cruelty/riches via evilness/stubbornness/and death all go together.  Love people more than riches.  Discretion will keep you beautiful.  You will find what you are looking for in life: whether good OR evil - and we all will be rewarded accordingly 12 - Love learning, correction, goodness, godliness. The worth of a good wife is immeasurable [and v.v.]  The godly man v.s. the wicked man --> the contrasts are many and eternal.  Good men and hard work and teamwork and honesty and listening are linked - as are waste and crookery, arrogance and jealousy, lies and trouble.  Don't be a fool --> [fingers in your ears, endless tantrums, demanding respect, lying, putting others down, loving deceit and evil, looking for trouble].  Keep promises, work, lead, get advice, encourage, and be diligent.

Jonathan was a gift from God, a kindred spirit, and a true friend to David in a time of great need. His uncomplicated commitment to David, amidst very complicated circumstances, gives us a picture of what true Godly friendship looks like when we have it. It also encourages us to ask for the spirit of Jonathan; that we may be able to reciprocate this unconditional love in our relationships.

Welcome Back to the Happy Single Mom Podcast This episode I am being vulnerable and sharing my ability to let go and press forward to things that i want in life. To my Baby Daddy - I forgive you To my Husband thank you for loving me 11 Qualities To Look For When Searching For A Godly Man1. Someone who walks with the Lord.I know that this first one may sound a bit obvious and redundant, but honestly it is very important. Before we get to any of the other characteristics, the first thing that you're going to want to know is if he walks with the Lord and wants to continue to grow in Him. You want a man who is going to put God first. 2 Corinthians 6:14 says, "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" Dating someone who isn't a believer can be very hard and painful. As Christian women, we need strong Christian men that we can grow with in our spiritual journeys. 2. A LeaderAs women, we want a man who can lead us. Sure we like to act independent and strong, and while those are good qualities to have, the fact of the matter is, when it comes to a relationship our man is supposed to lead us. Find a man whom you can support and encourage while he leads you and your family spiritually with wisdom and ultimately through life. 3. A GentlemanA Godly man is someone who is going to treat you like the jewel you are. He is polite and respectful to everyone that he encounters. A gentleman is someone who is going to respect you and value you how you deserve. He's going to see your worth and cherish it; he won't take it for granted. 4. HumilityA Godly man is not proud or boastful. Not everyone is perfect, and a Godly man realizes this. He shares his flaws with you so that you will be able to encourage, support, and pray for him. He daily surrenders his pride to the Lord. He doesn't boast about his spiritual knowledge, but instead daily renews his mind and recognizes that he always has more room to grow. 5. Obeys the WordJames 1:23-24 says, “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.” A Godly man is a man of not only his word, but of the Lord's. He does what he says he is going to do, and is true to keeping vows and promises. He will also obey the Word of the Lord, no matter how difficult the task. He delights himself in the Word of the Lord and diligently meditates and rests in it. 6. GenerosityA Godly man is willing to help others. In Proverbs 19:17, Solomon writes, "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done." A Godly man has a heart for serving others. He uses his gifts, knowledge, and talent to help fill the needs of others, including his wife and family. He realizes that this life is not his own, so he uses it to please the Lord because when we do this to the least of these, we do it to Jesus.(Matthew 25:40) 7. A Man of PrayerOne of the most intimate things that you can do with your partner is to pray over them. A Godly man realizes the importance of prayer not only in his life, but in the lives of his family. He knows that this is a direct way to communicate with Jesus and in doing so, he ultimately knows who is in control of his life. He is a prayer warrior for his family. 8. Takes ActionLadies, I think that we can all agree when I say that we love to be valued. One way that we're able to receive this feeling is when we have plans made for us. It makes us feel special and thought of when our guy has planned out a special evening for us. A Godly man is not afraid to take action. Whether it be in what he has planned for you on an afternoon date, in life decisions that will come through marriage, or even in taking steps to do what the Lord has... Support this podcast

Deception is rampant in our society, our politics, our media, and yes, also in our churches. How do we identify deception? What can we do to avoid being deceived? What principles should we live by to discern truth from deception? We'll dive into all this and more in this series!!! In this installment, we discuss the lure of false Chrsitianity, the kind that tells us we can be worldy, carnal, secular, but still be part of team Jesus. This is simply not true, and if we slowly move toward worldliness, we are, by default, moving away from God.  

Scripture For Today:1 Samuel 14:41“Then Saul prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel, “Why have you not answered your servant today? If the fault is in me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim, but if the men of Israel are at fault, respond with Thummim.” Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, and the men were cleared.”How to Effectively Use the Prayer of Agreement pt 2 We have been studying how Christians in the United States, and, for that matter, in all nations of the world, have allowed satanic influences to sneak into our government...and now we are suffering and wondering “why is this happening?”….well, I'll  tell you why!   Because you let the devil run the government!  You elected ungodly people who publicly advocate ungodly, unbiblical policies and you not only elected them, you continue to support them! Instead of supporting Godly virtues, you side with the devil and his like with all of these ungodly things under the guise of “it's their choice.”  Yes, it is their choice, but it's not MY choice. So why do I have to bow before Baal just because you do?  You want to know what you should do? Kick devil out, kick those ungodly politicians out and get some Godly people in there…and things will start to get better…but when you just vote your pocket book or what somebody can do FOR YOU instead of what they can do to further the Kingdom of God in this nation…then you are part of the problem and not part of the solution…and God can raise up someone else to fulfill His plan if you refuse…but for you and your family – if you refuse to obey God's Will – for you - it will be to your damnation…amen! So be it.  Have fun in hell, for the Bible is very clear, that's where YOU and your like will end up. And I can prove it to you biblically… We have studied this concept out Biblically several times over…example after example in the Old Testament…These demons even had one fella convinced he was a god!  The prophet came and told him – “you're not a god…you're a man…then God told the prophet to prophesy against the KING in that nation…and he was not talking about the man…he was talking to the demon over that nation that was influencing the man…amen!  Jesus has given us His power and His name to tear that stuff down…but the Christians in this nation are afraid to use His Name and Power because “it might offend some people that do not believe like we do!”  Give me a break…the ONLY thing and the ONLY chance this nation has of coming out of this global mess IS when believers stand up and don't care and don't give a flying flip about what other people think!  Are you serving MAN or GOD!?   Now, the prayer of agreement is the fact when 2 or 3 of us believers come together and agree on this earth…when we get together in agreement that what we are asking for is the outcome desired…we become a three fold cord that is not quickly broken!  Amen!  We are joined together in strength…we are joined together in prayer – according to His Word…and we establish spiritual authority and spiritual law in the situation we are believing for…and it MUST come to pass – we have God's Word on it!  And there is absolutely nothing the devil can do to stop it!   Except get YOU to break the power of your agreement….with words of doubt and unbelief.  You break the power by believing the lies which the devil begins to try and plant in your mind (it's not going to work this time…)….  When you listen to the devil and begin to do what he says or say what he says….it is the same thing that happened to Adam in the Garden of Eden….it steals  your joy, it steals your blessing. It steals your soul… Amen! OK, I'm over again today… Let's Pray!

This week, as we continue in our series featuring our summer speaker lineup, we listen in on Dr. Nicolas Ellen's powerful message on dealing with temptation from a Godly perspective.

Welcome to the Podcast of Southwest Bible Fellowship in Tempe, Arizona. WHO ARE WE? • We are a group of people who are committed to living the grace life as set forth by the apostle of the Gentiles, the Apostle Paul. • We come together to study our Bibles, and yes, we believe we have God's perfect Word in the King James Bible. It and it alone is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice! • We do not come together and study our Bibles for the intent of being smarter than others. We understand that knowledge for the sake of knowledge is purely vain and serves no Godly purpose. • We do come together and study our Bibles for the intent of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. (Philippians 3:10) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that we have been crucified with Christ; nevertheless we live; yet not us, but Christ liveth in us: and the life which we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. (Galatians 2:20) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that because Jesus Christ shed His blood for us and we should not live for ourselves but for Him, who died for us and rose again. (2 Cor. 5:15) • We do not claim to have attained to these lofty goals, but we press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14) You can donate to this ministry through www.butnow.org and the PayPal button on the homepage.

Are your thoughts on your body rooted in the Word of God or your wandering thoughts?

“Godly sorrow worketh repentance.” — 2 Corinthians 7:10 Genuine, spiritual mourning for sin is the work of the Spirit of God. Repentance is too choice a flower to grow in nature's garden. Pearls grow naturally in oysters, but penitence never shows itself in sinners except divine grace works it in them. If thou hast one […]

In this episode, Jimmy Johnson interviews Austin McCormick about the doctrine of repentance.  “Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” (Mark 1:14–15, ESV)
