890 I Spend My Life in God's Service, A Guided Christian Meditation on 2 Corinthians 12:14-16 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ. Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization. You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing. If you feel comfortable doing so, I invite you to close your eyes. Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation: Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate, deflate. Scripture for Meditation 2 Corinthians 12:14-16 KJV 14 Now I am ready to come to you this third time. And I will not be a burden, for I want not what is yours, but you. Children ought not to save for their parents, but parents for their children. 15 I will most gladly spend and be utterly spent for your sakes. If I love you more, am I to be loved less? 16 But granted that I myself did not burden you, yet I was crafty and got the better of you by deceit. 14 Look, for the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you, because I do not want your possessions, but you. For children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. 15 Now I will most gladly spend and be spent for your lives! If I love you more, am I to be loved less? 16 But be that as it may, I have not burdened you. Yet because I was a crafty person, I took you in by deceit! Reflection on Scripture: I was counseling with a person one time and they felt devalued by their spouse and they were talking about prioritizing themselves more. I have heard this repeated often. In that moment, I felt an internal conflict, or perhaps better said I felt the weight of the balance that Paul presents in these previous verses regarding his equality with other apostles. On the one hand he is no less valuable, and on the other, he is equally a fallen person. So one side is that we need to learn to not hate ourselves because that is a lie from the enemy, yet the solution to that is not to focus more on ourselves that is an influence from our unhealthy culture. Jesus taught us to love and serve others. He also told us to love others as ourselves. Other people are no more important but no less important than you are. I don't think in general the world has a shortage of people thinking about themselves. Learning to focus more on ourselves is often not the way to resolve these feelings. If we are willing to serve God would that also not be serving God's children. I think the solution to feeling devalued is to truly understand the value God places in us and now that we feel His love, that we look to Jesus for what he wants us to do with this stronger feeling of value and love. As two examples, consider a situation in which both people in a marriage feel as though they are not being focused on and loved enough. It is possible for both people to feel devalued at the same time. The solution to this problem would not be for both partners to focus on themselves more, but to learn how to receive unconditional love from God. Once fed by the love of God we can help to more clearly connect with another person and appropriately negotiate with our spouse on how to feel more loved from them. This is a profound oversimplification but consider it a metaphor. Another example is for people who struggle with social anxiety, if we transition to helping other people feel at ease in social settings it can actually lower our anxiety more than trying to put ourselves at ease. Again both of these are oversimplifications but they are examples. So take Pauls statement here about how he remains dedicated to the Church and try and discern how God wants you to balance your dedication? Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.

The Bible gives us some interesting instructions. It tells us to meditate on the written word so we can discover God's will for our life. But how does meditating on scripture give us "now" instructions to have success in our calling?

Note: Much of the content in this podcast can be found in show participant Ross Anderson's book Understanding the Book of MormonThe Book of Mormon claims to be an ancient scripture that tells the story of God's people in the American continent.LDS challenge: “Either the Book of Mormon is what the Prophet Joseph said it is, or this Church and its founder are false, a deception from the first instance onward…Joseph must be accepted either as a prophet of God or else as a charlatan of the first order…” (Jeffrey R. Holland, “Christ and the New Covenant,” quoted in Ensign, September 2002, 14)To accept BoM is to accept JS as a prophet, and everything that he stands for.The Book of Mormon claims can be / should be tested. 1 Thess 5:21 “Test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.”ArchaeologyBoM claims to be an ancient record of American continentFeaturing great cities, people at warArchaeology has failed to unearth any concrete evidence for BoMInscriptional evidence → names carved into stone monumentsExample: Sennacherib / Assyrians = names of Israel's kingsNo BoM name every foundMaterial remains → walls / foundations of ancient citiesPlenty of ancient cities in America, but none that can be linked to BoMExample: BoM describes its people using gold, silver, iron, brass, copperThe mining, smelting, and casting of metal ores requires special tools / complex processes which leave traces in the archaeological recordScholars generally agree: metallurgy not introduced into America until several centuries after the BoM story endsAnimals → BoM mentions many different kinds of animals: cattle, sheep, goats, horsesNone have been found in any archaeological setting dating to BoM timesUnlike deer, jaguar, peccary, tapir, other native speciesThe horse have never been found depicted in any of 1000s of sample of artNew world archaeology is still a young sciencePerhaps some day some artifact or inscription will be found to validate the BoMBut so far, best LDS apologists can do = create aura of plausibility based on vague similaritiesBy contrast, archaeology has repeatedly demonstrated the reliability of Bible: historically / geographicallyUse of metals as describe in Bible can be verified at many sitesA person can visit the actual cities where Bible describes Jesus or Paul travellingBritish Museum (London)Massive stone panels from ancient Ninevah → cities in Bible are recorded thereEvidence for the reliability of the Bible: “Three Reasons to Trust the Bible”DNATraditional LDS understanding - based on BoM story → native Americans are descended from ancient Jews who left Jerusalem for America around 600 BCThis is what JS taught → the most straightforward way to read the BoM textMainstream science → all native Americans are of Asian originSupported by extensive DNA sampling of American Indian populationsMany current LDS scholars claim that most NA's are of Asian descentWhile a small subset are of Semitic origin, descended from LehiIdea is = Nephite & Lamanite civilizations described in BoM made up a very small % of total population of New World during BoM timesLDS Church has acknowledged the challenges1981 BoM: identifies Lamanites as “the principle ancestors of the American Indians”2006 BoM: Lamanites “are among the ancestors of the American Indians”If BoM peoples were not alone in the Americas, it's very surprising that BoM never mentions these large populations of other peopleIn fact, no references to other peoples or nations, no accounts of Nephites evangelizing pagans, no polemics vs polytheism, idolatry, etc.LDS Church Gospel Topics Essay: Book of Mormon and DNA StudiesBible PlagiarismBoM contains extensive material in common with the BibleFirst type of shared content = simple repetition or direct quotationIncluding frequent phrases such as “it came to pass” and “verily, verily I say unto you”Second type = interpretive changes to a biblical text2 Nephi 2:18 expands on the biblical account of Eve's temptation (Gen 3:4-5)Third type = structural parallels to the BibleIncludes literary forms, common motifs, character types, etcConversion of Alma (Mos 27) has many features in common with Paul's conversion (Acts 9)Point: in many cases, Nephite writers mimic wording from the NTA doc to which they would have had no access.All of this shared content raises the Q: does common material come from independent sources?Or did JS simply copy from the Bible?Case 1 = the Sermon on the MountJesus appears in BoM - apparently in 40 days after resurrection prior to ascensionHis public address in 3 Nephi 12-14 contains much in common with Matt 5-7Case 2 = BoM contains more than 19 complete chapters in common w/IsaiahLehi's people carried a copy of OT scriptures with them → source of quoted materialSeveral lines of evidence suggest JS derived the Isaiah passages directly from KJV rather than an ancient sourceExample: biblical scholarship has advanced since KJV translationMany passages that were obscure in KJV in JS time are now more clearBut some of the misunderstandings found in the KJV are also found in BoMSuggests a direct relationship between KJV / BoMWould not have been present in BoM's quotes of Isaiah if the Isaiah text had originated in Lehi's time, as the story claimsHow would translation problems from KJV find their way into BoM?The extensive content shared between KJV & BoM - and the nature of the parallels - creates strong impression that BoM was produced AFTER the KJVOf course, LDS apologists have answers for all of these objectionsThe question is whether their answers are credibleFor loyal Mormons, the answers are convincing because they already have an existing commitment to the BoMOthers, without that grid, are not convinced that BoM passes the test--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation: Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate, deflate. Scripture for Meditation 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 KJV 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. ESV 7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Reflection on Scripture: Today I gave an invocation prayer for an event for an organization that supports military service members. The person who runs it has done some really amazing things for the servicemembers I have worked with in the past so I was glad to support. The main speaker was a man who served in Vietnam in many incredibly brutal situations. He had led his men in combat and now was telling some of these stories for the first time ever. He was a powerful speaker but it was clear he was working through challenging memories. He was very determined but each person, regardless of their strength, struggles with things. Most of the time we have no decision or input on what thing it is that will challenge us most. This man harnessed that fear of telling his story resulting in a profoundly moving speech. Paul was not immune to having struggles and even one that he felt extremely vexed by. Paul had amazing visions and gifts from God, and yet he struggled in ways that had him imploring God for help. And yet God did not give it in the way that Paul asked for. Without even knowing yoru situation I can guess that you have things that at times feel heavy for you to bear. Perhaps that is rare or incredibly frequent. If you are being honest though you have troubles. This is the message from God. Use that weakness to draw you closer to God and accept that all things can work together for the good of those who love God.There can be strength in that weakness. It reminds us of our need for God. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. WE are shown the Mercy of God most when we need it. We may be a way off from what Many times we see only struggle and we dont see the good it does in us. Embrace the truth Paul teaches. WE can rejoice in the perfection of God. Just because you don't get to choose your struggle doesn't mean you have no choice in how to work through it. The resounding solution to that question is found in this scripture. Trust God. Lean on His strength and He will make you stronger than you could imagine Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit.

If God inspired His Word, what happened to those words after they were given?In this PostScript Essentials conversation, Brandon Briscoe sits down with Dr. Alan Shelby to explore the relationship between inspiration, inscription, transmission, preservation, and translation—and what those doctrines mean for our confidence in the Bible we hold today.From a KJV, Bible-believing perspective, this conversation asks whether preservation ended with the original manuscripts or whether God providentially preserved His Word through history, transmission, and translation.Dr. Shelby discusses textual criticism, the history of the English Bible, the King James Bible, Jeremiah 36, the Received Text, and the providential preservation of Scripture.Originally recorded as PostScript Episodes 100 & 101, these two conversations have been brought together into one PostScript Essentials presentation.If God was capable of inspiring His Word, is He also capable of preserving it?Visit http://lfbi.org/learnmore
What truly sets a Christian trader apart? It's not that Christians never make mistakes or always have winning trades. The difference is found in the foundation we build upon. In this episode, we explore how a Biblical worldview changes the way we approach the stock market. When we recognize that Christ is Lord over every area of life—including our finances and investing—we can trade with confidence rooted in Him rather than in our own understanding. Drawing from Proverbs 3, Proverbs 16, and Philippians 4 (KJV), we discuss how faith helps protect traders from both pride during success and discouragement during difficult seasons. Instead of placing our confidence in market predictions or personal ability, we learn to trust the Lord, commit our work to Him, and remain content whether we are experiencing abundance or adversity. In this episode, you'll learn: ✔ What it means to approach the markets from a Biblical worldview ✔ Why faith gives Christian traders a unique perspective ✔ How trusting God helps overcome fear, pride, and discouragement ✔ The true context of Philippians 4:13 and why it matters for traders ✔ How Biblical principles can shape wiser financial decisions and long-term stewardship At TRADEway, we believe trading is more than pursuing financial success. It's about developing wisdom, discipline, and faithful stewardship as we seek to honor God with the resources He has entrusted to us.
In this second part of The Quiet but Bold Disciple, we continue examining the Apostle John through his interactions with Peter and his relationship with Jesus.

How are the mighty fallen — and what can we learn from the life of one of the greatest prophets in Scripture? In today's Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster opens 1 Kings 19 (KJV) and takes us back through the stunning victories of Elijah before asking a sobering question: what happened after all those miracles?You might be asking — can a truly great man of God fall into despair? Why does God sometimes let us face our lowest moments right after our greatest victories? What does Elijah's journey teach me about my own faith walk today?In this first part of the series "How Are the Mighty Fallen," Pastor Webster walks us through three powerful moments in Elijah's ministry:- Elijah declares a drought and God's word comes to pass exactly as spoken- Ravens miraculously bring bread and meat to Elijah at the Brook Cherith- A widow's barrel of meal and cruse of oil never run out, just as God promised- The widow's dead son is raised back to life after Elijah cries out to GodThese were real, documented victories — and yet, as Pastor Webster reminds us, the story is not finished.

Will you one day wish you had given Him more? In today's Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster closes out a powerful series on God's plan to evangelize the world by reminding us that the reward for sharing our faith is truly tremendous. Drawing from Matthew 28:19-20, Daniel 12:3, Psalms 126:5-6, Acts 1:8, and Matthew 19:29 in the KJV, Pastor Webster shows us why giving our all for Christ right now is worth it.You might be asking yourself: Is God really with me when I share my faith? What reward does a soul winner receive? What do I have to gain if I give something up for the Lord? Is the Holy Spirit enough to help me reach others?Here is what this devotion covers:- God promises His presence with every believer who goes out to share the gospel- Those who sow in tears over lost souls will reap in joy at harvest time- Daniel 12:3 promises soul winners will shine like stars forever- What you give up for Christ, He multiplies back to you a hundredfold- The Holy Spirit gives you the power you need to be a witnessIf this devotion encouraged you, please like, comment, and share it with someone who needs a push to keep going.

JUL. 23, 2026Always do a good job."The Lord God put the man in the garden of Eden to care for it and work it." Ge 2:15 NCVThe first thing God did when He made Adam was put him to work. That's because work gives us a sense of purpose, meaning, and dignity. "God put the man in the garden...to... work it." So Adam was a gardener. But whether you count cash in a bank, trade futures on Wall Street, flip burgers in a beach-side stand, whip up pasta specials at a five-star restaurant, fell giant timber in the forest or split and deliver firewood, coach a team, pastor a congregation, publish bestselling books, deliver newspapers in the early morning hours, star in your own television show, farm a large acreage, mow and edge neighborhood lawns, go out on the road as a salesman for computers, drive a truck loaded with machinery, build homes, clean swimming pools, argue cases before a judge, or settle family disputes as a counselor, always do a good job. A wise man once said: "Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence." The biblical character Daniel did that. And like cream, he rose to the top in Babylon. "Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him" (Da 6:3 KJV).There are no small jobs, only people who perceive them as small and become small in doing them. The Bible says: "Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper" (Pr 13:4 NLT).

Some things are worth remembering. “And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.” - Genesis 2:2-3 (KJV)
Are you using every method available to spread the gospel? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Matthew 28 and Mark 16 from the KJV to remind us that God's command to go into all the world has never changed — but the methods we use have expanded far beyond anything the early church could have imagined.You might be asking: Does God only use preachers and missionaries to spread the gospel? What if I am unable to travel or go in person? Can something as simple as a text message or a phone call really be part of God's plan? Am I fulfilling my responsibility as a believer?In this devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster walks through three practical, Bible-rooted methods every Christian can use right where they are:- Prayer — asking God to send laborers into the harvest (Matthew 9:36-38)- Giving — supporting the spread of the gospel according to your ability (Acts 11:27-30)- Going — being willing and available when God callsThis is part of the ongoing series on God's plan to evangelize the world.

Today we explore wisdom. Not the "don't put tomatoes in a fruit salad" kind. Serious business wisdom.It turns out, the wise tend to converge on understanding the world in a similar way.In the 20th century, philosophical titans saw this convergence. They look back to the original seers of wisdom and see in them parallels that run so deep, that upon deep contemplation of these philosophies, they found a "highest common factor," including among:Epicteus, Marcus Aurelius, and the StoicsPlato, and various Neoplatonists such as PlotinusSpinoza, SchopenhauerPossibly Hegel, Wittgenstein, though they are famously difficult to interpretJiddu KrishnamurtiLao Tzu, who authored the Tao Te ChingALso Chuang Tzu and Lieh TzuJewish philosophers such as Philo of AlexandriaSufi mystics of Islam, most famously Jalal al-Din RumiJesus of NazarethSt. PaulMeister Eckhart, the mystic Christian St. Jon of the CrossHinduism:The Sages of the UpanishadsAdi Shankara's The Crest-Jewel of WisdomThe Bhagavad GitaThe BuddhaParticularly Zen masters who followedVarious SutrasThe Bardo ThodolIt is the Perennial Philosophy.

Is there still time to share the gospel with the people around you? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens from John 4:34-35, John 9:4, 1 Corinthians 7:29, and Ephesians 2:12 (KJV) to remind us that the window of opportunity to reach the lost is not wide open forever — it is closing.You might be asking: Does it really matter how urgently I share my faith? What does the Bible actually say about the time we have left? How can I reach people before it is too late? What does it mean to be without hope and without God?Key points covered in this devotion:- Jesus said the fields are already white and ready for harvest — stop saying there is time- The night is coming when no man can work — Jesus said this over 2,000 years ago- Paul declared plainly in 1 Corinthians 7:29 that the time is short- Souls are dying daily into eternity without hope and without God- Believers are commanded to share the gospel with everyone they meetIf you have not trusted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, Pastor Webster urges you — do not wait. And if you are already a believer, let this devotion stir you to act.Like, comment, share this video, and subscribe so you never miss a devotion.#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:

We're all familiar with how others have hurt us. We can recall it in detail. But few of us ever stop to ask: can I hurt God? Can my unbelief actually grieve His heart? In this message, Pastor Jimmy takes a fresh look at Psalm 78 — not focused on how we limit God to our own detriment, but on the deeper truth that our choices can cause Him real pain.Walking through Israel's wilderness history, Pastor Jimmy identifies four ways we still grieve God today, and contrasts them with the beautiful truth that God delights in the wholeness and prosperity of His children.In this episode:Why God's power was never diminished — but His people's unbelief still limited what He could do through themFour ways we grieve God: forgetfulness, disobedience, unbelief, and traditionWhy forgetfulness causes hopelessness while celebration causes expectationWhat biblical "shalom" really means — and why God delights in your flourishingThe overlooked warning in Deuteronomy 28:47 about serving God with joyHow God's heart, even when wounded by unbelief, is always moved by mercyKey Scripture: "How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!" — Psalm 78:40 (KJV)

Is there really only one gospel for the entire world? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens the Scriptures to show why the need to share the gospel is greater today than ever before — and why every believer carries that responsibility personally.Drawing from Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 16:15, 2 Corinthians 4:1-4, Galatians 1:6-9, and Acts 4:12 in the KJV, Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through God's plan to evangelize the world and the urgency that drives it.You might be asking:- Are all religions just different paths to God?- Why does it matter if I personally share the gospel?- How can so many people still not know about Jesus?- What does the Bible say about other gospels?Key points from this devotion:- The need to share the gospel is greater today because the world's population — and its false religions — have grown- Satan is actively blinding the minds of unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4:4)- Paul declares there is only one true gospel, and any other is accursed (Galatians 1:8-9)- Salvation is found in no other name but Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12)- Every born-again believer has a personal and collective responsibility to evangelizeLike, comment, and share this devotion with someone who needs it today.

We are exploring 1 Peter 2 and 3. In these passages, Peter discusses how, as believers, we are required to submit to the government, our employers, and our spouses. The revelation we are processing is the importance of submission in the life of the believer. Submission is not just about wives submitting to their husbands—all believers are under a requirement of submission. __________ 1 Peter 2:13-25 KJV, 1 Peter 3:1-7 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

The temptation is to do what you're told. “We ought to obey God rather than men.” - Acts 5:29 (KJV)
Are you doing your part in God's plan for the world? In this devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster draws from Matthew 28:16-20, Mark 16:15-20, and Romans 10:13-15 (KJV) to show that the Great Commission is not just for pastors and missionaries — it is the responsibility of every born-again believer.In Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through what the Bible calls every Christian to do and why it matters today.You might be asking:- Is evangelism really my job, or just the pastor's?- What does it actually mean to preach the gospel?- How do I share my faith without feeling pressured to save someone?- Does God really expect me to go?Key points from this devotion:- The Great Commission is a command, not a suggestion- Faith comes by hearing, and someone must go and speak- God sends us to proclaim the gospel, not to save people ourselves- Keeping His commandments means going — that is how we abide in His love- The church must send, support, and stand behind those who goIf this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with a friend, and subscribe so you never miss a word.#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:

There isn't a single surviving original manuscript for any book of the Bible, so how do scholars decide what the earliest recoverable text actually said? This week, it's a primer on textual criticism: why King James onlyists despise it (despite the KJV being a product of it), what Erasmus did when he ran out of Greek manuscripts for the last chapter of Revelation, and how one scribe's wandering eye can quietly delete an entire paragraph from Samuel. Then it's chapter and verse on Zephaniah — three short chapters of unrelenting doom that promise to sweep humans, animals, birds, and fish off the face of the earth, before pivoting rather abruptly to "sing aloud, O daughter Zion."

Your voice, your cry, your worship — they have the ability to move the hand of God. Pastor Sheryl Brady reminds us that worship isn't passive. When singers and dancers preceded Israel into battle in the Old Testament, their enemies weren't frightened by their talent. They trembled because of the manifested presence of God that worship stirs up. Yet, we often burden our worship leaders and teams to carry what should come from within us. Our thirst for righteousness dictates our worship. Jesus paid a debt we couldn't pay. That alone is worth contending for. This is the season to stop loving God from a distance. Contend for His presence. Cry out for His glory. Watch what happens when His presence enters a room. Worship transports us from one dimension into another. It invites heaven into earth and changes circumstances. We can't survive without Him. The sooner we abandon comfort and embrace this truth, the sooner our praise will follow. Message: “A Post Moving Praise” Scripture: Habakkuk 2:14 (KJV), Isaiah 6:1-4 (KJV) Speaker: Pastor Sheryl Brady Date: Aug. 2, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone.
