Jesus’ chosen disciples were ordinary, common, & unexceptional men. But arguably the most respectable & commendable of the rag tag bunch would have been Judas. He looked as righteous and genuine as any of the rest of the disciples as he hid in plain sight. Are you a pretender? One who praises Christ with your lips when your heart is far from Him? Oh, what foolishness it is for a man to attempt to hide from God! May your heart be driven to genuine repentance as you listen.
We thought this episode was going to be about one thing... but everything changed once we got that phone call. Listen to a man trying to scam us LIVE on the podcast! Did he scam us? Or did we scam HIM? Oh and we talk about other stuff too... but Kayla's in a bad mood.
Hostess Cynthia L Simmons offers a prayer for thanksgiving: Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him Oh fear the Lord, you His saints, For those who fear him have no lack The young lions want and suffer hunger, But those who seek the Lord lack for no good.
I The true God works on earth, appears in flesh, that man may know Him, and He may gain their love. Yet people do not see, but stubbornly, they look for miracles to vouch for faith. Oh! How can they not see the will of God? Through the wind and rain, who is it all for? God's poured out so much love from His kind hand. He's worked till now, why don't they understand? II They say they believe, but they seek a vague God. They imagine God's words to be fulfilled, and they yearn to see a lofty God. Refined by God's words, they see just a paltry man. Oh! All their seeking ends in vanity. Despite the many ways God speaks and works, blind to His work, how can they be perfected? God's worked till now, why don't they understand? III At first you willed to seek with all your heart, and you have paid the price that it might cost. God's perfection you sought, though naively thought. How shocked that now God's work won't satisfy! In a hundred ways your faith's refined. You're sorry, you regret, you want to leave. Are God's words hollow? How could He find rest? IV You make demands of God with conceptions, without the least obedience or love. God's work's so practical, not what man thinks. Don't cling to conceptions or demand too much. Quietly God accepts when man oppresses or mocks or ridicules Him horribly. Is God wrong and so can't satisfy man? V Why did your love for God change over time? Where is that simple openness you had? Did you not say you'd love Him, never leave? Did you not say you'd share all things with Him? Oh! Don't forget, do not forget God's love. You ought to understand God's heart and will. Above all else you should care for His heart. God's worked till now, why don't you understand? VI If you would love, then you must be sincere. To give up half way means all is in vain. Both true and false, you cheat yourself of years. The many words God speaks are all for you. Oh! How can you bear to grieve God? You said you'd love Him, why now cheat Him so? Hurry to change your life and soothe God's heart. God's worked till now, why don't you understand? God's worked till now, why don't you understand?
Good Morning! Welcome the House of Hope! Today we are going to share on why the Church exists! We will see where God takes this! Let me share with you how important the Church is......This story is from Adrian Rogers... Years ago, I was witnessing to a young lady in Florida. I asked her if she had received Jesus as her Lord and Savior. She became teary-eyed and said, “I just don’t seem…no…I can’t do it today.” I asked her, “Don’t you realize that if you don’t receive Him, you’re denying Him?” “Oh,” she said, “I wouldn’t deny Him for anything!” I said, “But there’s no middle ground.” And yet she still refused. “Before you go,” I said, “would you shake hands with me?” “Well, certainly.” And so I said, “If you’ll take Christ as your Savior, take my right hand. If you’ll take hell and refuse Christ, take my left hand.” She refused to take either of my hands. ACTION POINT: Every person has a choice. If you say, “I think I won’t choose just now…” you’ve made a choice. There is no neutral ground. You are either crowning Jesus as Lord of your life or you are not. Which is it, my friend?
Gestur Füzz í kvöld er Daniel Pollock framkvæmdastjóri Tónlistar-þróunar-miðstöðvarinnar á Granda. Danni var líka eins og margir vita annar af tveimur gítarleikurum Utangarðsmanna sem er fyrsta hljómsveitin sem Bubbi var í. Plata þáttarins er áttunda plata AC/DC, For those about to rock (we salute you) en söngvari AC/DC á þeim tíma þegar platan kom út, Brian Johnson, á afmæli í dag. Hann er 71 árs. Þekktasta lag þessarar plötu er líklega titillagið en sveitin var gríðarlega vinsæl hjá ungu fólki um allan heim þegar hún kom út árið 1981, en For those about to rock er önnur platan sem Brian Johnson syngur á. Sú fyrsta var Back in black sem kom út árið áður. Johnson er þarna algjörlega á hátindinum sönglega, í frábæru formi. Hún var fyrsta plata AC/DC sem náði toppsæti Bandaríska vinsældalistans og sú eina af plötum sveitarinnar sem það gerði þangað til platan Black Ice náði toppsætinu 2008. Roling Stone sagði á sínum tíma að For those about to rock væri besta plata sveitarinnar til þess tíma. Hún er þriðja og síðasta platan sem upptökustjórinn Robert John „Mutt“ Lange gerði með sveitinni. Hinar eru Highway to hell og Back in Black. Við heyrum þrjú lög af plötu þáttarins í þætti kvöldsins. Óskalagasíminn verður opnaður um kl. 20; GARG-fréttir eru á sínum stað og A+B er svo að þessu sinni með Led Zeppelin.

God is a God of excellence. Have you ever thought of that? He does things to the best they can be done, always. He is considerate, always. He operates with integrity, always. He is excellent. What better way to honor our God than to become more and more like Him? When we come to Him, do we offer our best out of His abundance? Or are we skimpy? If we knew God, and how purely good He is, how generous He is toward us, why would we withhold anything from Him? Oh, that He would teach us His ways! That He would instruct us in excellence in all things, even giving us the power to give everything we are and have and lay it back at the feet of the giver of all good gifts.
For computer users Please scroll down to the audio player to listen to this messageBy Mary Lindow There are many things going on in the midst of God’s people. Yet significantly there are two things we need to speak about. One is a movement which is organized by man. And in this realm we find the organized church system with their planned programs, teachings and sacraments. The other is a movement of people coming into a frustration with those organized systems and coming out of those established order of things. So many churches have gone through pain and devastation because of uprising in their ranks. Church leaders and members separate. Their unresolved issues and wounds infect others around them. With their tongues and pen, (and emails and Facebook postings) their resentment and bitterness spread in uncontrollable proportions. Christians in other Churches receive the bad report. They don’t even know the people involved but… because they have inclined their ears to hear them, the report poisons them like toxic waste in their souls. If unchecked, this becomes a hideous, malignant cancer cell eventually damaging their mind and attitude towards Churches or Christians. But the most sorrowful part is to see these believers drifting without any type of solid anchor to hold themselves steady And that becomes another thing in itself. The enemy quickly moves to make them into another established ‘independent group’, away from God’s original thought and purpose. The age-old serpent, the ultimate enemy of our souls, has not lost the art of deception even after centuries! He, even now, can cause God’s people, including the sincere ones, to miss the mark! I believe that this touches the greatest widespread PROBLEM IN WESTERN churches. The consumer culture has invaded the church. Pastors and people are not united "for better or for worse" but just like it is practiced and encouraged in secular commercial organizations these days, until the pastor “fails to perform.” And “performance” is compared- even though unconsciously most of the time – with film and television performances! Church goers in Western countries watch between 15-20 hours of television a week, AND UP TO 100 hours are spenT on mobile phone and social networks - and then THEY come to church. They bring with them expectations of the pastor-as-preacher, pastor-as-counselor, pastor-as-comedian and all around nice guy! Which are in all roles, for 99% of pastors, unreasonable and totally impossible to ever fulfill. Pastors are being asked to be a one man/one woman, three ringed circus act and need to jump through hoops of fire, be shot out of cannons, and get into a cage filled with lions and tame them, in order to somehow “Wow” the people, to convince them that they have a desire for them to stick around long enough to learn the basics of a godly life! The consumer culture we all now live in and sadly…embrace, is less about serving one another, or encouraging one another, or …having patience with one another! It is much more interested with getting “top dollar value for tithes and time.” “Or…I Pay - YOU pray!” Today things have degenerated into vagueness, IRRELEVANCY and uncertainty. The real meaning of what God’s purpose in His people really is meant to passionately reflect…. is missing. Things that ARE NOW being said and done… do not mean what they did mean originally in His Word. So many spiritual and scriptural terms are put into motion, but they are not in the same dimension and point of view, which are in the Divine plan! The tragedy is that so many welL-meaning believers have gone on with the outward appearance of searching for the will of the Lord and they fail to see that the power of His radiant life is missing! Well, the Apostle Paul warned us in his letter to Timothy about this….“This know also that in the last days perilous times shall come…Having the form of godliness (true religion) but denying the power thereof .” My heart is really sad to see things as they are around us. Everything is falling short of its original design. There is so much labor and “muster” being pumped out there and is being poured into the “church machine” more than any time in the history of God’s people! Yet the toil is ending in heart breaking disappointment! Nothing is fully and finally getting through to the end. It is all stopping at some place. Is that not what we read in the past moves of restoration or reformation? They all stopped somewhere. Beloved, there is something that is missing and eluding. There is something that is absent which hinders the ultimate issue. Is there any one who asks, “Lord, why is this thing happening?” Sadly… The Majority is going on in their frenzy to find a place where they can dictate on their terms just how THEY have decided to serve Him. Saints! only those devoted to humility and honor can be saved from this deadly poison that lulls those longing to be entertained and pampered, into apathy and spiritual paralysis! God’s truly DEVOTED PEOPLE in this hour should seek Him and that which is upon His heart. What the Lord is doing in this hour is so different …and we should be sensitive to Him! He is looking for His New Vessel in which the power of resurrection may freely work. The Apostle Paul said “according to the power that works in us” (Ephesians 3:20b). These vessels will have to be men and women who have “seen”! They shall be like “a voice in the wilderness”. It is becoming more and more clear that God must do a FRESH thing AMONG HIS PEOPLE! And that fresh thing is that He is drawing them to seek the Lord Himself and His manifested presence! The Psalmist said, “When You said oh Lord, Seek My face; my heart said unto You, Your face, Lord will I seek.” Will you set your face to seek Him? Oh that God may find His ‘Davids’ in this crucial hour that will set their faces towards Him at the command of His voice!
