Character is never built in a classroom. Character is built in the circumstances of life.  God builds character in our lives by allowing us to experience situations where we are tempted to do the exact opposite of the character quality. Character development always involves a choice. When we make the right choice, our character grows more like Christ.  Main Points:1. We don't know why tragic circumstances happen in our lives. We don't know why accidents happen. We don't know why people receive bad news from the doctor. Life and its difficulties comes to us all. Live long enough and you will experience suffering.2. God will use every circumstance of our lives to help us be more like Jesus. If you think back over your life you'll realize that you have grown through the things you suffered. 3. Christ-like character is the goal of the Christian life.  To settle for anything less is to miss the point of spiritual growth.Today's Scripture Verses:Isaiah 43:2 - “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.”Hebrews 5:8  - “Even though Jesus was God's Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.”Romans 8:28 - “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”Romans 8:29 - “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.”Ephesians 4:13 - We are to “become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Jim Osman examines false teachers through an exposition of 2 Peter 2:1-3, warning believers against three critical dangers. False teachers secretly introduce destructive heresies into the church, not announcing their deception but creeping in quietly while using Christian language and claiming orthodox beliefs. These false teachers promote destructive doctrines that damn unbelievers and render Christians useless and unfruitful. Their depraved desires are marked by sensuality, and their deserved doom brings swift destruction upon them.Believers must beware lest they be deceived by their teachings, seduced by their lusts, or exploited by their greed. The sermon emphasizes that sound doctrine and godly character must go together, as false teachers lack both biblical authority and moral integrity, thereby exerting a destructive influence. ★ Support this podcast ★

Dave Rich examines virtue ethics within Christian teaching, contrasting secular approaches with biblical principles. While godless virtue ethics lacks authority and struggles with practical guidance, Christian virtue ethics finds its foundation in God's character and Christ's perfect example. Scripture emphasizes moral excellence through passages such as 2 Peter 1:3-8, which call believers to cultivate virtues including knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, and love.Virtue ethics complements deontological commands and teleological purposes in comprehensive Christian ethics. Believers imitate Christ as the perfect exemplar, bearing God's image through godly attributes that produce righteous actions, for a good tree bears good fruit. ★ Support this podcast ★

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Have you noticed the loudest voices aren't always the wisest? Bold words often leave broken relationships and chaos in their wake. What if the tension around us—and within us—comes from trusting the wrong kind of wisdom? Welcome to the Daily Devo. Our text today is James 3:17-18. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. — James 3:17-18 PART 1: OBSERVATION — What the Text Says Words & Phrases: Wisdom from above: Wisdom originating from God. Pure: Without corruption or contamination, holy. Peaceable: Promoting peace, avoiding conflict. Gentle: Kind, considerate, not harsh. Open to reason: Willing to listen, teachable, not stubborn. Full of mercy and good fruits: Overflowing with compassion and producing virtuous actions. Impartial: Not showing favoritism, treating everyone equally. Sincere: Genuine, without hypocrisy. Harvest of righteousness: Refers to the results of living rightly according to God's standards. Sown in peace: Actions taken peacefully lead to good outcomes. By those who make peace: Peacemakers actively foster peace. Characters: No specific individuals other than those who would receive the open letter. Grammar: A list of qualities for "wisdom from above." A conjunction "then" shows a sequence of wisdom attributes. A metaphor of "a harvest of righteousness" connects cause and effect. Structure: Verse 17 defines the attributes of "wisdom from above." Verse 18 shifts to the outcome: "peace sown by peacemakers." Genre: James is an epistle or letter written to many groups. Mood: The tone is instructive. PART 2: INTERPRETATION — What the Text Says to the Original Audience Who: Author: James, the brother of Jesus, writes to Jewish Christians scattered among the nations (James 1:1). Audience: Believers struggling with division, favoritism, and worldly wisdom within their community. What: James contrasts earthly, unspiritual wisdom from below (described earlier in James 3:14-16) with divine wisdom from above. Where: Written to the early church addressing practical issues in Christian communities. When: It was written around AD 45-49 when early Christians learned to live out their faith amidst cultural and spiritual challenges. How: The metaphor of sowing and harvesting resonates with the audience's agricultural context. Why: To guide believers in discerning true wisdom and encourage them to be peacemakers, fostering unity and righteousness. PART 3: APPLICATION — What the Text Means to Me & You Today Bridge the Gap: Timeless Truth: Godly wisdom is characterized by seven attributes that produce righteousness through peacemaking. God's Character: God values wisdom that aligns with His nature. Personal Reflection: Do my attitudes and actions reflect God's character and wisdom, or am I seeking selfish ambition? If my attitudes and actions reflect "wisdom from above," I should see a "harvest of righteousness" around me. I shouldn't see "burned bridges" and "tense relationship" or "wins for me and losses for them." I should see "peace" and "peacemaking" all around me, and people should be drawn to me for this reason. If you've ever chased after the loudest voices or leaned into selfish ambition, you know tension and division don't take long to creep in. But we are reminded there's a better way. Godly wisdom isn't about being the loudest or getting ahead; it's about living a life that reflects the character of Christ. Ask yourself: Do my words and actions leave peace or conflict in their wake? Am I open to God's wisdom—pure, peaceable, gentle, full of mercy—or have I let earthly desires take over? It's never too late to surrender. Give up the ambition that burns bridges. Let go of attitudes that stir chaos. Step into the wisdom of God that produces a harvest of righteousness. Today, I invite you to give in to God. If you're tired of burning bridges, come to Him. Ask Him to replace selfish ambition with His peace and righteousness. Ask Him to make you a peacemaker in your home, workplace, and community. Here is a prayer, I am going to prayer over you and me today: Father, I've tried to lead with my own wisdom, and it's left me weary and broken. I surrender my desires, my plans, and my pride to You. Teach me to live with Your wisdom and to sow peace wherever I go. May my life reflect Your character and bring glory to Your name. Amen. #GodlyWisdom, #Peacemakers, #HarvestOfRighteousness ASK THIS: Do my words and actions promote peace or create tension and conflict? How can I reflect God's wisdom in my daily decisions? What attitudes or ambitions do I need to surrender to God? Am I open to being teachable and gentle in my relationships? DO THIS: Ask God to reveal one attitude or habit that hinders peace and commit to replacing it with an action that reflects His wisdom. PRAY THIS: Father, guide my heart to seek Your wisdom above all else, letting it shape my words, actions, and relationships. Help me to be a peacemaker, sowing righteousness and reflecting Your character in everything I do. Amen PLAY THIS: Christ Our Wisdom.
