High View of GodTake God's Word seriously.Repent of your sins quickly.Obey God with reverence no matter the cost.“I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet.” Luke 7:44-46When we lose our awe of God, the God we serve gets smaller.…Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear.

Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - Peace as Infrastructure (Class 14) In this final lesson of the Understars series, we explore why peace is a stable infrastructure while war is a fragile system requiring constant upkeep. We summarize the "Understars Perspective" and dive deeper into JFK's 1963 "Strategy of Peace" speech as a blueprint for human-made solutions. We define our role as Peace Scholars as we prepare to bring the High View down to the ground. Homework: Interrupt your routine by looking at your passport or ID card. Imagine it doesn't just list a country, but says "Citizen of the Understars." How does that change your responsibility to the person standing next to you? Write down one final question for this department. If no question comes to mind, write "no question." Optional:Look up at the night sky tonight. Tell the stars, "Hey Understars, let's keep an eye on peace. How about it?"

Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - The Tools of Peace: A Survey (Class 13) We shift our focus from philosophy to the practical "infrastructure" of peace. We survey the various tools—from shared scientific endeavors to verification treaties—that allow humanity to maintain the High View. We look back at what we have named The Great Disarmament (1963) to see how tools like the Partial Test Ban Treaty protected our shared biology. We conclude with the understanding that peace is an inevitable destination that requires constant maintenance. Homework: Interrupt your routineto look up the "Global Peace Index." Find one "Tool" or metric they use to measure how peaceful a country is. Write down one questionyou have after this episode or doing homework #1. If no question comes to mind, write: "no question." Optional:Journal about your own "Personal Toolkit." When you feel a conflict rising, what is the first "tool" you reach for? (Is it a deep breath? A question? Taking a walk?)

We read a chapter from Loraine Boettner about the providence of God, look at the Belgic confession and look a few scriptures.
Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - The Overview Effect (Class 6) We examine the Overview Effect not just as an experience, but as hard geopolitical data. By looking at the consistent testimony of astronauts from various nations, we see how the "High View" naturally dissolves nationalistic identity. We also revisit JFK's 1963 "Strategy of Peace" as an early political application of this planetary consciousness. Homework: Interrupt your routine to look up "Astronaut quotes on the Overview Effect" and find the one that resonates most with you.

Lesson 1 – God's High View of Marriage A lesson series from "God's Design For A Thriving Marriage", a Biblical marriage workbook written by Pastor Rob Orr of Calvary Chapel Palos Verdes.
An episode from Berean Baptist Church, an independent body of King James Bible believers located in Springfield Missouri. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical-historical meaning. We believe that God's Word has been divinely preserved in the English language and commonly known as the Authorized King James Version. Therefore, the Authorized King James Version shall be the official and only translation used by the church. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21). We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that man is totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23, 5:12, 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-3, 4:17-19). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-10; I Peter 1:18-19). We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever (John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Cor.1: 4-8; I Peter 1:4-5).We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word, which, however clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh (Romans 13:13-14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15).We believe in that “blessed hope,” the personal, imminent return of Christ who will rapture all believers prior to the seven-year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom, which was promised to the nation of Israel (Psalm 89:3-4; Daniel 2:31-45; Zechariah 14:4-11; I Thessalonians 1:10, 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 3:10, 19:11-16, 20:1-6).The Berean Baptist Church Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself is the sole and final authority of all that we believe. We do believe, however, that this statement of faith accurately represents the teaching of the Bible.You may visit Berean Baptist Church's website https://bereansgf.org/ or write to them at:507 East Norton Rd,Springfield, MO 65803 The KJV Bible Preaching Churches Podcast is directly supported by Doss Metrics LLC | Ministry Services based out of Cleveland Texas.

Episode Summary: As we close out this Fatherhood Month series, we return to the Andrew Tate phenomenon that is impacting teen guys in our churches, with which we began this series. Tate says, “There is zero advantage to marriage for a man. If you use your mind, if you use your head instead of your heart, and you look at the advantages to getting married, there are absolutely none.” But, in fact research proves Tate completely wrong. Married men and women who have children are in fact happier, wealthier and more fulfilled than their single and childless counterparts. The biblical worldview is that marriage is the foundational institution for society, mentioned in Scripture before the church or civil governments. This episode presents the biblical worldview of marriage, identifying four purposes of marriage, which explain why it is so fulfilling, along with the high biblical view of sexual union, which is so important that God commands married coups to have sex often. For information about Men Helping Sons Embrace Biblical Manhood click hereFor Further Prayerful Thought:Which of the four purposes of marriage most stood out to you. Why does it make sense that God's design for conceiving a child is a husband and wife united in the covenant of marriage who have promised to love each other, “till death us do part?”What stood out most to you in the Bible's High View of Sex? Which of these truths do you wish you knew earlier?How do you think this material on marriage and sex might change a high school guy's view of God and sex?

The post Why a High View of God Changes Everything appeared first on Straight Truth Podcast.
This episode explores what it means to have a high view of God and why that view shapes every aspect of the Christian life. Dr. Richard Caldwell contrasts a high view—where God is seen as holy, sovereign, and central to all things—with a low view that puts God on the periphery. Through Scripture, he explains how the fear of the Lord, reverence for God's character, and trust in His Word lead to true peace, obedience, and spiritual maturity in both individual believers and the church.

In this episode of Pursuing Wisdom in Proverbs, we dive into God's high view of sex and marriage as revealed in Proverbs 5:15-20, as it combats the sexual sin we discussed last week. We explore how the Bible presents sex not as something shameful or transactional, but as a beautiful, intimate, and continuous blessing within marriage. Join Luke Metzler as he unpacks the rich metaphors of flowing water, fountains, and springs to illustrate God's design for sexual intimacy. Whether married or single, this episode offers wisdom on how to align your life with God's purpose for love, intimacy, and overcoming the temptations of sexual sin. xplusone.org
