Glenn Beck, Ben Shapiro. Why the Iran strikes are UNLIKE ANYTHING we have seen before and The TRUTH About The Israel-Iran Conflict (A Comprehensive History) Glenn Beck- Why the Iran strikes are UNLIKE ANYTHING we have seen before Ben Shapiro- The TRUTH About The Israel-Iran Conflict (A Comprehensive History) Why the Iran strikes are UNLIKE ANYTHING we have seen before Israel has begun a series of very precise attacks on Iran. Glenn Beck explains why he doesn't believe this is the start of another endless war for America. In fact, it's “unlike anything else we have faced before” thanks to many factors, including the extremist beliefs of the leaders of Iran.

Bible Reading: Galatians 5:22-25"Mom, can we have fruit salad for lunch?" asked Brynlee."Good idea," said Mom. "You can help me make it. We have lots of different kinds of fruit we can use today." As they began putting the fruit together, Mom had an idea. "Maybe we can put nine different kinds of fruit in our salad and pretend we're putting in the fruit of the Spirit," she said. "We learned about them in church last week, remember?""Yeah," said Brynlee. "I'll name them as we put them in." She put orange pieces into a big bowl. "I'll call these love," she said. Then she opened a can and added pineapple chunks. "These will be joy. What else do we have?""I have some fresh peach wedges ready," said Mom. "And here's a cantaloupe we can cut up."Brynlee put in the peaches, calling them peace. She decided on patience for the cantaloupe. "The apples will be kindness, and the pears will be goodness," she said. "I'll slice some bananas and call them faithfulness.""Okay, and you can add some of these grapes," said Mom. Brynlee called the grapes gentleness."We still need a fruit for self-control," said Brynlee. "But we don't have anything else, do we?"Mom shook her head. "No, I don't think so," she said. "Unless…" She opened a cupboard door. "How about some dried cranberries?" "All right!" said Brynlee. "Now we have something for each fruit of the Spirit.""Good," said Mom. "You did a great job remembering them. You got them all!"At lunchtime, everyone enjoyed the salad. "Good to the last bite," said Dad, popping the last piece of pineapple into his mouth."And now our fruit of the Spirit is all gone," said Brynlee."I hope not!" said Mom. "Spiritual fruit will always be a part of our lives as Christians. As we rely on the Holy Spirit to fill us with love and become more like Jesus, others will be able to see the fruit of God's love in us."Dad nodded. "I pray that the fruit God produces in our lives will show people we belong to Him." –Linda WeddleHow About You?Can others see the fruit of the Spirit in your life? People aren't able to see when you've had apples or peaches or other kinds of fruit for lunch, but the fruit of the Spirit should be visible in the life of every Christian. Are you letting others see the fruit of the love God has planted in your heart? Trust Him to help you let your words and actions show others you know Jesus.Today's Key Verse:The fruit that the Spirit produces in a person's life is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (ERV) (Galatians 5:22-23 )Today's Key Thought:Display the fruit of the Spirit

Many Christians have had the disheartening experience of feeling like they have lost their connection with God. There you were, going along through life's experiences, and something happens. Whether it is one big change or many little things over time, you wake up one day and realize God seems far away. Now what? Is it over? How do you find your way back to that precious connection that you lost? A good way to understand what to do to reconnect is to observe some of the experiences of the Apostle Peter. We all know how he denied Jesus on the day of his crucifixion. What we don't often think about is how he got to that point and what it took to draw him back into God's favor. The third and final time Jesus called Peter to follow him Peter openly and fearfully admitted that he was a sinful man. Jesus called him anyway. Peter's journey following Jesus would show him just how little he knew about his own faults and how little he knew about what discipleship required. The night before Jesus' crucifixion... Peter confidently claimed he would never forsake Jesus. In spite of that bold proclamation of loyalty, Peter would deny Jesus three times early the very next morning. His denials escalated from simple avoidance to emphatic rejection. If we have ever alienated ourselves from God ...we have likely gone down a similar road to Peter's. The good news is we can now learn how to bring ourselves back to God by following the pattern that Peter himself followed. So, what happened? How was Peter's alienation slowly dissolved and he was able to reconnect? Peter's experience shows us there are three key steps to reconnecting with God: Prepare Your Mind for Action: Peter running to the empty tomb on the morning of Jesus' resurrection was taking the first step. Even though he still didn't understand what was happening, he showed that he wanted to. This was crucial. Be Serious and Reverent: Peter likely wrestled with self-doubt, but God's grace persisted. Jesus would reaffirm Peter's efforts through two miraculous personal appearances to him and others on that resurrection day. Embrace Forgiveness & Change: Weeks later, Jesus restored Peter by asking if he loved him. This restoration would come with the profound responsibility of being a shepherd to Jesus' flock after his ascension up to heaven. For each of us, to spiritually reconnect requires small, intentional steps which include prayer, scripture study and humility. The beautiful message here is that God's faithfulness ensures that even in failure, restoration is possible!
A man makes many decisions every day, but when he is dead he cannot simply choose to become alive again. Many Christians assume that every person has the natural moral ability to exercise his or her free wil unto salvation. But the Bible declares that every person is born spiritually dead in trespasses and sins and must be born again by the sovereign grace of God.

For over 50 years, For the Strength of Youth has been a guide for generations of Latter-day Saint youth. I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.

So he refused the king's offer to go back to the palace and have a meal. Hearing what signs the mysterious prophet had done, an old prophet in the city left to go find the man of God. When he found him, he lied to him and brought him back into the city to enjoy a meal. But during the meal, God made his message clear that this meal would be his last because of his disobedience.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Romans 1:6-7 — Why does God love people? Many believe He loves those who do good. This belief stems from the idea that one must first change and then God will love them. Is His loved based on human ability to change? In this sermon on Romans 1:6–7 titled “The Called of Jesus Christ,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains that God's love is not contingent on the person changing, but just the opposite. That change is based on God's love. Christians are not those who are earning love from God, but rather Christians are those who already are loved by God. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that God loves His people in the same way He loves His Son. This love is based purely on His grace and it's a love that has the power to change. Because of His love, Christians are called the beloved; they are called saints. The motivation to change is no longer based upon human hope that God might accept them. The motivation to change now comes from the call: “Be who you are.” If Christians are indeed the beloved of God, let them display it. If they are indeed saints, let them show that they are saints. Christians are who they are by grace and distinct from the world, that they may glorify God. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/603/29

We as Christians are very much taught to learn and understand who God is, His character, His attributes, His person, etc. Remember when Jesus asked His disciples, “Whom do men say that I am?” … As Christians, this is good and much needed to know in Him in whom we serve… But crucially, when we become, “Converted,” or “Born Again,” we are no longer who we WERE, therefore, the question is, wha ARE WE NOW? This message will be completing it with part 3 of the series called, “Fulfilling our Identity in Christ,”… What it means to be a “soldier” for the Kingdom of God! This study is intended to draw us further into the evidence, recognition, and application of our IDENTITY!
June 15, 2025 - Sunday AM Bible Class This episode explores the essential journey of spiritual growth for Christians, emphasizing the importance of moving beyond initial beliefs and embracing continuous development. Starting with the greatest commandment of loving God and neighbor, it delves into the significance of fellowship and personal spiritual growth, outlining God's expectations for His children. The discussion includes practical approaches to spiritual maturity, such as Bible reading, prayer, practicing known teachings, and learning from experiences. Highlighting the New Testament's emphasis on personal growth, it outlines how Christians can deepen their relationship with God, thrive spiritually, and avoid stagnation. Emphasizing applicable practices and insightful discussions, this episode encourages listeners to engage in transformative activities that lead to spiritual fruitfulness and a fulfilling Christian life. Duration 45:10
God's sovereignty extends to all authorities, including political leaders, as they are established by Him. Christians are called to submit to these authorities, recognizing them as God's servants, even in imperfect or oppressive regimes. This submission is not a passive acceptance but a call to live out one's faith, countering evil with good and going above and beyond what is required. Christians should obey authorities unless it conflicts with their conscience and God's commands. While rebellion is not God's way, Christians can respectfully resist evil and advocate for justice through peaceful means like voting, protesting, and running for office. Ultimately, Christians should strive to be good citizens and witnesses for Jesus Christ.
In this topical series, we walk through various passages in the Bible that bring clarity to certain Christian common practices. In this message, one of our Pastors, Jerry Gaffney, finishes up our series and asks the question, “Why don't we practice these things?” The post Weird Stuff Christians Do – Part 7 – Why don't Christians Practice Weird Christian Stuff? appeared first on United Church.
Homily from the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. Even when the Bible seems clear, earnest Christians can get it wrong. We need a Church to tell us when we are wrong. The most important revelation of God is His own identity. From the beginning, Christians have needed more than the words of Sacred Scripture to guide them into all truth. We have needed the Holy Spirit leading the Church through error to know the depths of God's identity.

“I have claimed this land for God.” The words were written by John G. Paton and adorn the grave of his wife and child. It was a declaration of faith that God would bring the people of the New Hebrides, now Vanuatu, to Himself. The islanders were thought of as savages; in fact Paton slept on the grave to prevent the bodies of his wife and child from being eaten by cannibals. Paton famously said, “If I can but live and die serving and honoring the Lord Jesus, it will make no difference whether I am eaten by cannibals or by worms.” Today the islands are full of churches—even some very close to the site of Mrs. Paton's grave. Stephen McKaskel is the producer and director of a six-part video series called Missionary, which includes an episode about Paton, as well as others which tell the stories of famous missionaries. Listen as he tells why the church today needs the example of men and women sent by God and obedient to the Great Commission. Watch this behind-the-scenes video of Stephen and the team tracking down Paton's legacy in Vanuatu. He'll also share about filming in England on the path of William Tyndale, as well as stories of David Livingston, Amy Carmichael, Hudson Taylor and William Carey.

Romans 1:3-5 — Why should a Christian feel sorry for their sin? Why should Christians turn from sin and follow Jesus? In the sermon titled “Saviour of the World,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones begins with an examination of the “nations” in Romans 1:3–5. He shows that the gospel has gone forth to those previously under the wrath of God. Hope has gone to those who previously had no hope. The Messiah is not only the Savior of Israel, but the Savior of the whole world. This truth leads to the apostle Paul's climax: God does what He does for His name's sake. God is saving a people for His own fame and glory so that His people live to the praise of His glory and grace. Therefore, Christians no longer continue in sin. Their desires have changed and they want to love Him. Listen to this sermon as Dr. Lloyd-Jones exhorts Christians to live for His name's sake, to desire that all would bow their knee to Him, and to look forward to His coming as King of kings and Lord of lords. Christians are a people looking for the blessed hope of His appearing. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/603/29
Today in Current Events from a Christian Perspective:We take a look from a Biblical perspective at illegal immigration since there are thousands of protests scheduled today across America and prominent Christians are saying things or even quoting Scripture that is plainly out of context or cherry picked to their advantage.The rioters are claiming that there should be 'No Kings' in America. But that's a problem, because there already is a king, King Jesus. And they are clearly not living as Christians.All this and more today on Church Public!..---At Church Public we create compelling content to equip you to follow Jesus and engage in the public square including Current Events from a Christian Perspective.Thanks for watching!

There’s never been anyone in history as radical as Jesus. As His followers we are called to be like him. We can live as Jesus did – be radical like He was – because as Christians, Jesus lives in us and wants to live through us.

What if American culture isn't collapsing because of crusading secularists? What if it's failing because many leading Christians identify more with secular elites than with their fellow believers? Frank sits down with Dr. John G. West—author of 'Stockholm Syndrome Christianity', and Vice President of the Discovery Institute—to uncover why some of the most influential Christian voices seem to be echoing the values of secular culture rather than confronting them. Frank and John tackle some uncomfortable but necessary questions like:How did Stockholm Syndrome get its name and what does it reveal about human nature?Why are some believers supporting secular policies that contradict biblical truth?What's really at stake when Christians abandon truth in the name of “love”?How can parents discern whether a “Christian college” is truly grounded in Christ—and what 10 critical questions should they ask?How have high-profile figures like Francis Collins, Russell Moore, and David French used their influence to advocate for unbiblical policies while demonizing some Christians?Are conservatives too harsh or just unwilling to capitulate? And what can faithful followers of Jesus do to push back against 'Stockholm Syndrome Christianity'?Going beyond critique, the book identifies root causes and—most crucially—offers practical tips and strategies you can use to help your family, church, and community stand for truth. Read this book to become part of the solution and discern when and where to draw the line between faith and culture.Resources mentioned during the episode:John's website: https://johngwest.com/John's Book: https://stockholmsyndromechristianity.com/John's film work: https://johngwest.com/film/

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 26 Paul defends himself before King Agrippa by recalling his life, his conversion to Christ, and his mission for God. He begins with his strict upbringing as a Pharisee and his zealous persecution of Christians. Paul then describes his dramatic encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, where he was blinded and chosen to become a witness to both Jews and Gentiles. He explains how Jesus commissioned him to open the eyes of others, converting them from darkness to light and from Satan to God. Paul's message from Jesus emphasizes the forgiveness of sins for those who repent and turn to God. Festus interrupts, accusing Paul of madness, but Paul remains composed and appeals to Agrippa's understanding of the prophets. Agrippa is impressed but chooses not to respond to the gospel. Paul's defense starts with a recounting of his past before Christ redirected him. This illustrates his humility, as he acknowledges that he believed he knew what was right but was mistaken and needed to repent. We should share aspects of our journey before coming to Christ when possible. This is a wonderful way to give all glory to the grace of Christ, who redirects and redeems us. Paul further explains that Jesus has given him a mission, which is why he risks his life and remains tireless in his teaching. Like Paul, we should be honest and bold about our mission of service to Christ, living with integrity, and challenging others with scripture in a wise and hopeful manner. Great God of kindness and grace, thank You for bringing us through our sinful past and to a place of hope and faith. Please help us to always give glory to You for who we are in Christ Jesus. Open doors today to share our story with others, to praise the name of Jesus, and invite others to repent and turn to the Lord so that times of refreshing will come. Will You please soften the hearts of people like Agrippa, who are so close to committing their lives to Christ? How can we help? Use us for Your redemptive work today. Thought Questions: - How was God patient with you in the years before you became a Christian? Is that a story that can help someone believe in God's grace? - Do you believe God has a mission for your life? From what you know today, what is that mission? Are you passionately engaged in it? - Agrippa was almost persuaded, but something held him back. Who can you pray for today who has that mindset and needs encouragement?

How can you know if God the Father is God your Father and that you truly belong to Him? The Holy Spirit is the key to everything in the Christian life, and He assures us that we belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. In this message, you'll discover three blessed assurances for Christians from Romans 8. This message is called, WHEN GOD BECOMES FATHER and it's from Pastor Jeff Schreve's series, MORE THAN CONQUERORS.
Romans 1:3-5 — Christians are forgiven of sin so that they may follow their Savior. Some today reject this notion that one must submit to Jesus as Lord. They argue salvation is by grace, and therefore obedience is not necessary. While salvation is completely by grace through faith, the Christian faith must not be separated from obedience to Jesus. Can one accept Jesus as Savior and not as Lord? In this sermon titled “Jesus Christ, Our Lord” from Romans 1:3–5, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones answers that question with a resounding no. The earliest Christians were persecuted over the word “Lord.” For them, Jesus was not only Savior, but he was also Lord. The very nature of believing the gospel becomes an issue of submission. Christians are commanded to believe, and thus obey the gospel. Dr. Lloyd-Jones shows that the only way one can accept Jesus is in this full sense: as both Savior and Lord. Faith is obedience to the word of God. If the word of God is rejected, then God is also rejected, making Him a liar. Receiving the gospel is, therefore, to obey Him and receive Jesus as Lord. The entire Christian faith depends on the recognition of this and this is what makes one a Christian. This is the work of God: that the Christian believes on Him who He has sent –– Jesus Christ, the Lord.' To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/603/29

Your friendly neighborhood Bros react to the wild video of Jordan Peterson debating twenty atheists. We dig into the complex topic of worship, particularly in the context of atheism and faith. We explore the dynamics of a debate featuring Jordan Peterson and a group of atheists, discussing definitions of worship, the nature of belief, and the implications of prioritizing relationships. The conversation also touches on personal anecdotes, friendship, and the challenges of defining worship in a modern context. In this conversation, the hosts delve into the complexities of worship, exploring its definitions, hierarchies, and implications in personal relationships. We engage with Jordan Peterson's views on worship, questioning the clarity and applicability of his definitions. The discussion also touches on nihilism, the nature of suffering, and the search for purpose, ultimately reflecting on the dynamics of debate and the importance of understanding differing perspectives.

Listen Now What does it truly mean to be a child of God? In this episode, Steve Wood explores the life-changing power of Christian identity, drawing from 1 John 3 and insights from spiritual writers like Sam Storms and the Navarre Bible. While many Christians are told they are children of God, few deeply know it in the biblical sense—a knowledge that transforms hearts and anchors faith. Steve unpacks why this identity isn't just a metaphor, but a supernatural reality brought about by the Holy Spirit, and how embracing it can protect faith—especially in a world where many young believers drift away. Learn how understanding your divine adoption can strengthen your relationship with God and provide lasting spiritual stability. Want more in-depth resources?

Segment 1: • SBC fails (again) to pass the Law Amendment affirming only qualified men as pastors. • Historical cracks in this area have led entire denominations astray—are we next? • “Affirming but not affirming” language is the same tactic used in gender debates. Segment 2: • If churches are being disfellowshipped for female pastors, why not codify the standard? • Fear of man, cultural compromise, or fear of shrinking numbers? • SBC votes to keep the ERLC—why are we funding institutions that reflect the culture more than Christ? Segment 3: • Newsboys singer admits years of sinful living—how should Christians respond? • Discernment needed: are we gossiping or redeeming? • Real repentance or damage control? How we judge reveals more about us than them. Segment 4: • Can someone live in unrepentant sin for 20 years and still be a believer? • The key question isn't “when were you saved?” but “are you saved right now?” • Deception is powerful—and the local church is the safeguard God provides. ___ Thanks for listening!

Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss the controversial topic of capital punishment, highlighting its complexity and the wide spectrum of beliefs among Christians. While some believers stand firmly for the death penalty, others oppose it with equal conviction. Christians are called to seek biblical truth with humility, not pride, even in secondary issues where disagreement is allowed. Jesus often responded to difficult questions with another question, inviting deeper thought rather than debate. Ray supports the death penalty in principle but recognizes the flaws in the justice system, pointing out how false witnesses in Scripture and in history have led to unjust executions. The guys agree that capital punishment must be handled with care, remembering that each life involved—perpetrator or victim—bears the image of God.Genesis 9:6 and Romans 13:1-4 are cited as the strongest scriptural support for the death penalty, with God affirming the sanctity of life by requiring justice for the shedding of innocent blood. E.Z. emphasizes that those in authority are placed by God, whether as a blessing or judgment, and voters must be mindful of this truth. Still, the group stresses that decisions involving life and death should never be made flippantly. Oscar approaches the issue with humility, offering three lenses of hesitation: spiritual, philosophical, and practical. He references Augustine's concern that executing someone may mar the image of God, though Augustine wasn't completely opposed to it. Yet others in the group argue that removing someone who claims lives is actually honoring life and protecting society.The guys discuss the tension between grace and justice. Some argue capital punishment is mercy to the victims and society, preventing re-offense. Others say prolonging life on death row offers more time for repentance. This tension surfaces often: should mercy delay justice, or should justice be swift for the sake of the victims? There's also the question of honoring the victim's dignity and preventing additional harm to their families.Throughout, the group warns against personal retribution, reminding listeners that Scripture differentiates between personal responsibility and the role of government. They caution against cherry-picking verses and advocate for reading Scripture in context, letting Scripture interpret Scripture. True wisdom is found in seeking the Lord, studying His Word, and engaging in fellowship. While opinions may vary, the guys agree on one thing: may the Lord help us think deeply and biblically, with both compassion and conviction.Send us a textThanks for listening!
