The Crisis of Biblical Illiteracy Series: Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins November 6, 2025 Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins Show Summary Dave Jenkins addresses one of the most pressing issues in the church today, biblical illiteracy. He defines what it is, explains why it is dangerous for discipleship and witness, and gives practical steps to grow in knowing, understanding, and obeying God's Word. Key Scriptures: Hosea 4:6; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Ephesians 4:14; James 1:22; Psalm 119:105 Topics: Definition, dangers, and practical steps to avoid biblical illiteracy Speaker: Dave Jenkins Series site: servantsofgrace.org/anchored-in-the-word Listen Watch Episode Outline Introduction Many of us own Bibles, yet do we know what is in them and live it out? Hosea 4:6 warns that God's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Neglecting Scripture leaves us open to deception, discouragement, and shallow faith. 1. Defining Biblical Illiteracy It is not the absence of a Bible, it is the absence of knowing, understanding, and applying it. 2 Timothy 3:16–17 teaches that all Scripture is God breathed and equips us for every good work. 2. The Dangers of Biblical Illiteracy Deception: Without truth we are tossed by every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14). Weak Discipleship: Faith reduces to feelings and trends. Poor Witness: A church that does not know Scripture loses its salt and light. Judges 2:10 shows how a generation can rise that does not know the Lord. 3. How We Can Avoid It Read Scripture regularly, whole books and chapters for the big picture. Study wisely, use tools but start with the text. Memorize and meditate, let the word of Christ dwell richly (Colossians 3:16). Obey what you read, be doers not hearers only (James 1:22). Stay rooted in a sound local church under faithful preaching and community. Application and Call to Action Shape your worldview from Scripture rather than social media or cultural voices. Start small. Read a chapter a day in the Gospel of John, pray, take notes, and ask questions. Closing Biblical illiteracy is dangerous but not inevitable. God's Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105). Let us know the Bible, love it, and live it out for the glory of Christ and the good of His church.

The Bible is not ink on a page—it's oxygen for your soul. Yet too many believers nibble on devotionals instead of feasting on the Word itself. Listen closely: you cannot live in victory while starving spiritually.Joshua 1:8 says, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night.” Meditate doesn't mean skim—it means marinate. Let the Word soak so deeply that it flavors your thinking, speech, and decisions.Sisters, you don't need to be a theologian to be transformed by the Word. You just need consistency. Ten minutes daily with an open Bible and open heart can do more than ten sermons without application.When women stay rooted in Scripture, their discernment sharpens. Lies lose their grip. Emotions find stability. Temptation loses its appeal. You can't be deceived by culture when truth lives loud inside you.Every great revival in history began when ordinary people picked up their Bibles and decided to actually obey them. That can start in your living room today.So, open it—not just when you're desperate, but when you're devoted. Highlight promises. Journal insights. Pray verses aloud. Memorize one passage a week and watch how it changes your reflexes in crisis.

Series: Signs & GloryTitle: How do I live as a disciple of Jesus today?Subtitle: Part 2Scripture: John 15:7-17 NIV, Isaiah 5, Psalm 80Bottom Line: A disciple of Jesus today is growing to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him, and leading others to do the same.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDOpening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONWhat does a disciple of Jesus look like today? Well, these examples are a good place to start. They loved their enemies and forgave them.Bottom Line: A disciple of Jesus today is growing to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him, and leading others to do the same.CONTEXTJesus's disciples are deeply troubled because they have just heard 3 things:One of them will betray Jesus,Jesus is about to leave them and go where they cannot go, and Peter will deny Jesus 3 times that night.He's taught them again to love each other as he has loved themHe's told them his spirit will come and empower them to do all that he's taught them to doHe's coming back (resurrected, as his spirit, second coming)They leave the upper room where they've had their feet washed, heard all of this, and now they're heading to the garden of gethsamene to pray and be arrested.Sub questions for today:Q. What does spiritual fruit look like?Q. How do I bear spiritual fruit that will last?OUTLINE (w/ help from Matt Carter & ChatGPT)Transition: This passage breaks down into 2 sections: 1) True disciples bear fruit, and 2) What that fruit looks like. Today we'll focus on part 2: What does true spiritual fruit look like and how do we bear it?Let's ask some questions:Q. What do I want you to know today?A. What the fruit of a true disciple of Jesus Christ looks like.Spiritual fruit Is from God through his spiritLasts foreverWhat does this fruit look like according to this passage?Answered prayer. God tells us to ask whatever we want in Jesus' name and it will be given to us. (15:7, 16)Proof that we're true disciples of Jesus. (15:8, 14)Glorify God (15:8) which is why we were created.Overflowing with his joy (> happiness, which is based solely on circumstances). (15:11)Love of God (in obeying his commands) and people (in obeying his commands). (15:10, 12, 14, 17)Friendship with God through Jesus. (15:14-15)Security in your salvation:"Already clean" (15:3)"I chose you" (15:16)Q. Why do I want you to know this?A. Because you will know where you stand as a disciple of Jesus Christ: true or false; fruit-bearing or not.Q. What do I want you to do?A. Bear spiritual fruit that will last forever. Q. Why?A. Because Jesus says this is why he chose you and me. Therefore, we should do this.Q. How?A. By training to remain in Christ. Here are 4 training regiments that will help:Know, believe, and obey God's word.Pray bold, specific, and believing prayers in Jesus' name.Love each other sacrificially ("As I have loved you").Recognizing and embracing the principle of pruning requires suffering, trials and testing.ConclusionBottom Line: A disciple of Jesus today is growing to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him, and leading others to do the same.When we train to remain/abide in Christ, we will grow in the character and competencies of Jesus Christ, in his power (not ours), and we will lead others to do this as well. Q. How do I know I'm doing this?A. You'll multiply yourself. You'll lead people to Christ deep and wide.You'll help others lead people to Christ deep and wide.You'll see God's love spread through his word in you.Q. What's next?A. Commit to getting a good grip on God's word by reading it daily, praying it daily, and obeying it daily.B. Consider H.E.A.R. Method. https://www.lifeway.com/en/articles/bible-journaling-method-to-hear-god-speakINVITATIONWhat about you? Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬How do we respond? Answer 2 questions:Take out a card or piece of paper right now. Write down the answer to these questions: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.Lord's Supper, 1 Cor 11:23-26 is good passage.Also, say something like, "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again." (past, present, and future)PrayNOTESOutline with help from Matt Carter and ChatGPTII. Spiritual Fruit in a Disciple of Jesus today looks like this: (15:7-17)A. Answered prayer--this happens because of the union with Jesus. The "sap" is the back and forth communication. "My words remain in you" (7)Jesus speaks through his word. God prunes and cleans through his word (3).We respond in prayer. Where there is prayer, there are answers. God listens to his people. It looks like breathing. "When the Holy Spirit is pulsing through you, you pray without thinking. You just talk to God." -CarterPrayer is as important to the soul as breathing to the body.B. Obedient love--we obey because we love. Our love flows from our obedience. Obedience is the evidence of love.A persistently, willfully, disobedient person is not a Christian.What's cool here is that even though Jesus is our King and has every right to demand our obedience, he doesn't treat us like slaves. He sees us as friends. Slaves are given commands without explanation. Jesus invites us into his inner circle. He shares his friendship and explains what he's doing. Not always as much as we'd like but he tells us what the Father says to him. (14-15)C. Inexhaustible joy--Jesus, who fills our Dixie cup/cone cup with joy, immerses our Dixie cup of joy into his ocean of joy.Happiness is dependent on your circumstances. Joy transcends your circumstances.ExamplesPaul in Prison (Philippians 1:12–21; 4:4)Happiness: No one would be happy about being chained up, falsely accused, and awaiting trial. His circumstances were bleak.Joy: Paul still wrote, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice” (Phil. 4:4). His joy was rooted in Christ being proclaimed and in knowing that “to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” His joy transcended his imprisonment.The Apostles Beaten (Acts 5:40–42)Happiness: After being flogged by the Sanhedrin, they weren't happy about the pain or humiliation.Joy: They “rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.” Joy came from sharing in Christ's sufferings and being faithful witnesses.Jesus on the Cross (Hebrews 12:2)Happiness: The cross was excruciating, shameful, and horrific—nothing about it was happy.Joy: Yet Hebrews says Jesus endured it “for the joy set before him”—the joy of redeeming us, glorifying the Father, and sitting down at His right hand.Job LossHappiness: Losing your job doesn't make you happy. The stress, loss of income, and uncertainty feel heavy.Joy: A believer can still have joy by trusting God's provision, remembering His past faithfulness, and resting in His promises. Joy looks like saying, “This is hard, but I know God is still with me and will provide,” even while updating your résumé.It's no coincidence that Jesus follows, "If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love" (10) with, "I have told you this so that my joy may be in your and that your joy may be complete." (11) "Joy comes through obedience." -Carter

We'll follow that with how we bear this spiritual fruit that lasts.I. True Disciples of Jesus Today Bear Spiritual Fruit that will last. (15:-1-6)7th of 7 "I am" statementsI am the bread of lifeI am the light of the worldI am the gateI am the good shepherdI am the resurrection and the lifeI am the way, the truth and the lifeI am the true vineNot "a" but "the""True vine" implies that there are "false vines"While the vineyard was a picture of Israel (Isaiah 5, Psalm 80), Jesus says it's a false vine because they produced "sour, inedible grapes". Jesus is the True Vine.Jesus is also the true Israel or God and man in fellowship through Jesus Christ. -JohnstonFruitfulness = Living to our God-given potential out of the overflow of our relationship with Jesus.God calls Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply. (Genesis 1:28) "The fruitfulness that was lost thorugh the Fall, is recovered through Christ and his redemption." -Johnston"The recovery of true fruitfulness in life is bound up in the recovery of fellowship with God through Jesus Christ." -JohnstonJesus connects fruitfulness to fellowship. We are Grace Christian FELLOWSHIP. That is we are a people connected in fellowship to one another through our fellowship with Jesus Christ. The Point: "The path to God doesn't go through the nation of Israel; it goes through Jesus." -CarterIt's about union with Jesus. (Connection to the true vine)Jesus is the True Vine, Father is the Vinedresser, we are the branches.2 types of disciples:Living and (alive in Christ)Dead (never exercised saving faith; Ex. Judas Iscariot); "They hang around Jesus without a genuine, life-giving relationship with him." False disciples will be cut off and burned in judgment.If you are alive in Christ, God will do his part to insure you are fruitful--pruning is key:Dead woodGood wood that will decrease fruitfulness if not removedGod's commitment to your fruit-bearing > Your commitment to comfort"God will do whatever it takes for you to bear fruit. John Newton, the great eighteenth-century English pastor and songwriter, began a letter this way:'At length, and without further apology for my silence, I sit down to ask you how you fare. Afflictions I hear have been your lot; and if I had not heard so, I should have taken it for granted: for I believe the Lord loves you, and as many as He loves He chastens.I think you can say, afflictions have been good for you, and I doubt not but you have found strength according to your day; so that, though you may have been sharply tried, you have not been overpowered.'" -Newton, Amazing Works, 156-57True disciples abide or remain connected to Jesus. Ex. Like a branch drawing life-giving sap from the vine is essential to life and fruit-bearing.“Here Jesus introduced that rich word abide, which has to do with remaining close to Him. Jesus declared that our productivity, our fruitfulness, is directly linked to our abiding in Him. As Christians, we will bear fruit, but it will vary in degree. The closer we stay to Christ, the more fruit we will bear. The more we wander out from the center and neglect the means of grace that He has given to us, the less fruit we will produce” -RC Sproul"People who claim to be Christians but do not show evidence of his life flowing through them will be cut off, gathered up nd burned." V. 6"A fruitless disciple is not a disciple at all."- CarterHow does God cause us to bear spiritual fruit? Through his word.II. Spiritual Fruit in a Disciple of Jesus today looks like this: (15:7-17)A. Answered prayer--this happens because of the union with Jesus. The "sap" is the back and forth communication.

Do you have to memorize your music? Of course not. How's that for an easy answer? Okay, the podcast is over and we can call it a day. But of course, the answer isn't that simple.  No, you don't have to memorize your music, but the fact that you're asking the question tells me that you're almost certainly thinking about memorization the wrong way, or at least very differently from how I have learned to think of it. What I want to help you understand today is the role that memorization can play in your musical growth, how it can make you a better musician, how it can help you learn music faster, not necessarily because you are memorizing, but because the act of memorizing brings your focus to the music in a different way. But not if you're trying to memorize the way you may have when you were young. The kind of effortless assimilation that came so easily to me when I was younger, and perhaps to you too, doesn't happen with my aging brain. I still memorize, but I use a process that is more conscious, less automatic, and I can tell you that the conscious process is easier, more secure and more interesting. When I memorize this way, I know I know my music. That's practically confidence in a bottle. What I'm going to help you understand today is the true value of memorization, whether or not you ever play without your music, and how you can develop your powers of memorization, even if you can't remember where you left your glasses. Memorization isn't about remembering. It's about learning and knowing, done purposefully, and it's not as hard or as scary as you may think. If you're already a confident memorizer, then that idea won't be new to you, but keep listening, because there will be a few important ideas and strategies in this episode that will help you too.  Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Join the Arpeggios with E.A.S.E Quick Study Course.

This episode kicks off our Fall Spiritual Growth Campaign titled Ascent: Walking up the Pilgrims' Pathway. As followers of Christ, we're pilgrims, journeying from this earth to our true heavenly city, built by God Himself (Hebrews 11:16). Families, kids included, let's take this journey together!For the next two months, we're diving into the Songs of Ascent (Psalms 120–134), sung by Jewish pilgrims trekking to Jerusalem for feasts (Deuteronomy 16:16). These songs lifted their spirits, gave comfort in tough times, and kept their eyes on God's presence. This teaching unpacks three truths:The Journey's Got Direction: Christ is our goal, now and in heaven (Philippians 3:13–14). Like C.S. Lewis says, it's “further up and further in,” where every step toward Jesus brings more joy!It's Hostile Terrain: The world's not our friend (John 15:18–19), but these psalms will strengthen us. We'll fast from music that doesn't glorify God to stay focused.Jesus Leads the Way: He walked this path first and empowers us with His Spirit (Hebrews 12:2, Matthew 28:20).If you would like to join us on this pilgrimage, we are asking you commit to 1.

Testing of Faith Produces PerseveranceJames 1:2 -4 & 12 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.  Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.  Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”This is a pretty tall order.  This verse asks us to consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds because we know that testing of our faith produces perseverance.  I understand what the verse is saying.  I understand the concept.  I am just not sure I understand how to do this.   I'm not sure joy would be the word I would use when I am undergoing trials.  I would say words like sad, frustrated, mad, angry, annoyed, scared, lonely and defeated seem more like what I feel when I am going through trials.  So, why is this verse telling us to feel joy?  We often ask why we have to struggle?  We ask why we have to face various kids of trials? I have learned from Father Mike that there isn't just one reason why we find ourselves in trials.  Father Mike states several times in his Bible in a Year podcast that sometimes we do find ourselves in difficult trials because of something we have done.  Sometimes we go against what the Lord wants us to do and there are consequences for that.  Other times, the situation we are in is not of our own doing and does not mean that we did anything wrong.  For instance, Job, he was a righteous in the eyes of the Lord, yet he suffered terribly.  Not all suffering is a result of sin.  Another example, of this is found in John 9:1-3 “As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth.  His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.”Do you see the reasons for your trials can vary.  I think a lot of us think if we are struggling, then we must have done something to deserve it.  God must be punishing us in some way.  I have heard that one a lot.  Jesus is telling us right here in the Bible, your trials are not always because of sin. Sometimes your trials are to show the work of God in your life.  It is rare that you know the reason for your struggle while you are in it.  However, even if you did, I am not sure it would make it easier.  Take this verse for instance.  It says that when our faith is tested we gain perseverance.  Perseverance is great.  It is often times the thing that gets us through our trials.  I find it interesting that in order for our perseverance to grow we need to go through trails, yet our perseverance is what helps us get through those trials.   I am glad that I have gained a lot of perseverance over the years.  Even though I know that I will gain perseverance when I go through a hard time, it doesn't make that hard  time easier.  The rest of the verse says to “Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.  Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”  That all sounds wonderful.  I definitely want to be mature and not lacking in anything.  I also definitely want to receive the crown of life.  The problem is, I don't know how to remain steadfast under trial.  I don't know how to consider it joy that I have trials.  I know what the Lord wants me to do, I am just not sure how to do it.  I love how the Lord always gives us answers.  I was just thinking that it would be nice if I could give you guys some tips on how to stay steadfast under trials and I did a quick internet search and found some.  The article I found is titled Six ways to remain steadfast during trials and it is written by Dan Panetti.  (CLICK HERE for article)  I will post a link to the article in the show notes, but I will list Dan's six ideas here as well.Focus on what you can control—not on what you can't (Prov. 3:5–6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”)Live in the moment—refuse to be anxious about tomorrow (Matt. 6:34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”)Look for ways to break up the monotony—tackle a home improvement project or
learn to play a new card game. One of my sons proposed that I come up with a question for each family member to be researched and presented around the dinner table. It has sparked some of the best conversations we have ever had. Relax and take a walk—meditate on the ways that God has provided for you, delivered you from death, given you a purpose, and equipped you for his service (Psalm 116:7–9 “Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.”)Bathe in a book of the Bible—not just read through it, but sit and soak in it! Think of Naaman going down into the Jordan again and again. Read and re-read a passage, chapter, or book—dive deep(er) into the Word!Memorize and meditate on Scripture—both of which are under appreciated spiritual disciplines. My oldest son and I are currently focusing on memorizing at least one verse from each book of the Bible.Just knowing that we grow in perseverance anytime our faith is tested might not be enough to help us find joy in our trials.  However, maybe some of these ideas can help us to be steadfast in our trials.  I like how the author even provided a few scripture verses to back up some of his suggestions.  I have not done a lot of scripture memorizing in the past.  However, I did try scripture writing for awhile and I thought it was great.  If you want to give that a try, or even if you want to do the scripture memorizing and are not sure where to start, I started with an internet search of scripture writing plans.  When you type that in you will get a whole list of scriptures, usually with a certain them, such as “wisdom,” “freedom,” “being bold,” all sorts of themes, whatever you might be struggling with the most.  If you want to bathe in a book in the Bible, and you are not sure where to start, I have always been told a great place to start is in at the beginning of the new Testament, in the Gospel of Matthew, or the Psalms is another great place to start.  I hope each of you will write these ideas down so that next time you are going through trials, they can help you remain steadfast.  Wouldn't it be wonderful to be mature and not lacking in anything.  If so, we need to let perseverance finish it work in us.  In order to do this, we must make it through all the trials.  In order to do this we must figure out a way to remain steadfast in our trials.  I know it is difficult going through a difficult time and not understanding why you have to go through it.  However, this verse gives us a little hope.  One reason we are going through it is to test our faith.  Are you going to remain steadfast?  Do we want the crown of life?  The choice is ours.  Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, we love you and we ask that you are with us in our times of trial.  We ask that you give us the grace to find joy in our trials and that you help us to stay steadfast also.  Lord, we want all you have to give us and that includes the crown of life.  Help us to not drown in our difficult time.  Sometimes it feels like we are drowning and we are asking that you save us before that happens.  Lord, even if it is not the right time while we are going through it for us to know why it is all happening, please give us the grace to understand that if its not the reason, we will grow in perseverance while we make it through to the other side.  Also, help us to feel your presence while in the trial and know that you are with us.  We love you Lord, you are truly amazing.  We are so very grateful for you.  We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen.Thank you so much for joining me on your journey to walk boldly with Jesus.  I look forward to spending time with you again tomorrow.  Have a blessed day! www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

Matt closes our Scripture Practice series with our final topic, memorize.

When life gets hard, what comes out of us is usually whatever we've been holding onto. If we've filled our minds with lies, fear, or shame, that's what shows up. But if we've filled it with God's Word, that's what we'll have to lean on. Jesus had Scripture deep inside Him. Even on the cross He was quoting it. That's the goal for us too. Memorizing Scripture helps us hear from God, think differently, fight off lies and temptation, and be ready for the hard seasons before they come. It's not about cramming verses, it's about building a deep well of truth that we can draw from when we need it most. Memorize a passage of ScriptureStep 1: Pick a PassageChoose a section of Scripture that you want to memorize.If you're not sure where to start, Psalm 23 is a great option.Step 2: Learn 2 Verses at a Time• Focus on the first two verses.• Read them out loud four times a day for one week.• Let the repetition help the words settle into your mind and heart.Step 3: Add More Each Week• In the second week, add the next two verses.• Keep reviewing the earlier ones as you go.• Continue this pattern until you've memorized the whole passage.Step 4: Use a 3x5 Card Trick• Write the full passage on one side of a 3x5 card.• On the back, write only the first letter of each word in the verse(s). This helps your brain recall the words while testing your memory. Thanks for listening in to The Ridge's Sunday Audio podcast!

Let's talk about the practice almost no one wants to do: memorizing Scripture. It sounds old-fashioned, like rotary phones and casseroles with Jell-O. But here's the thing—when the bottom drops out, what comes to mind isn't your favorite podcast quote. It's something your soul remembers. A line of truth you tucked away long ago. The words we carry shape who we become. So we're going to take this practice out of the dustbin of history and hold it up to the light. Not to show off but to stay grounded. Anchored. Loved. 

God's word Transcript

You'll love his simple and memorable hand illustration, the four heart-check questions to ask before you even begin reading, and his practical encouragement for preparing both your posture and mindset. Whether you're a first-timer who wants to learn how to personally engage with God's Word—or you're a seasoned Bible geek who wants to fall in love with Scripture all over again—this conversation is for you.

John 7:18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. This verse informs us of what was and is going on in Jesus' heart. He doesn't seek His own glory. He seeks the glory of His Father, which makes Him true and righteous. Is there anyone like this other than Jesus? Only those who are abiding in Jesus. If we are going to live to love with Jesus, we can't have the attitude of the world. In this world, everyone speaks for himself and seeks his own glory. We know this is true because we have all been like that. It never crossed our minds to seek the glory of God who created us. That's the old man we are to put off. Our minds must be renewed if we are going to live and walk with Jesus. What He says, sees, and does is the truth. Everything He does is righteous, which is another way to describe what love for people looks like. This is our aim: to live for the glory of God, who sent Jesus into this world. For His glory, God gave Jesus to live for and in us. Then, having regenerated us, send us into this world. We are not to speak from ourselves, but to speak from Christ. To speak from Christ, we have to renew our minds to think and believe as He thinks and believes. The apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians (4:22-24) that they were to put off the old man and put on the new man, which is Christ. That, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. This verse tells us what to put on as we put on Christ each day. We are seeking the glory of God revealed in the life of Jesus Christ, so we don't speak from ourselves, but from Him who lives in us and has been sent as the savior of the world. This encourages us to memorize and apply Jesus' line of thinking—His worldview, which I've condensed to three foundational truths for love. There is one God from whom are all things, and He is love. Jesus love is enough. His love and will satisfy my soul. God's purpose in all things is to reveal His Son in me and to prepare me for eternity. These three truths are the truth and reveal righteousness. They are from God. No natural man thinks this way or believes these things. As we practice applying these three truths to every situation and relationship, we learn that they are from God and are the truth. I hope you'll write these down. Memorize them, and every morning remind yourself of them so you can put on Christ and live to love with Him for the glory of God. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of "giving it forward," so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

In today's episode, we're talking about daily decisions and their power to create a better life tomorrow. How often do we make the same decisions, yet expect different results? It's human nature to think we're the outlier in human biology - we can eat what we want, think how we want, exercise when we want, and expect our health to improve. Daily decisions create the tomorrow we are now living in today. Racing through today expecting our health in mind, body and spirit to magically be different, is the Standard American Way of Life, but it is false hope. We are lying to ourselves if we think we are going to be running around playing tennis, hiking, tossing our grandkid over our shoulder at Disneyland at 75, if we are living based off what we feel like in the moment. In 24 hours, tomorrow is showing up. A week is going to pass. A month. A year will be in our rearview, if we are still on planet earth. Start with 1 push up today. Try meat and vegetables for dinner.

It seems that memorizing scripture is a lost discipline in today's church culture. I rarely hear anyone talking about the verse they are memorizing, nor do I hear people reciting the verses they have learned by heart. Main Points:1. A generation ago, scripture memorization was practiced more regularly. It was talked about in the church. At home, families memorized Bible verses together and practiced quoting them to one another. I remember as a child, my family memorizing Romans chapters six and eight. We also memorized several of the Psalms. Amazingly, many years later, I can still recite many of these Bible verses by heart.2. When we memorize Bible verses, it allows us to internalize the Word of God. This deepens our spiritual understanding and helps us apply the scriptures to our daily lives.3. Putting the Word of God in our hearts and developing the ability to recite verses at any time gives us the strength to fight temptation.Today's Scripture Verses:Deuteronomy 11:18-19 - “Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”Colossians 3:16 - “Let the Word of God dwell in you richly…” Psalm 1:1-2 - “Blessed is the one…whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.”Psalm 119:11 - “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”Psalm 37:31 - “The law of their God is in their hearts; their feet do not slip.”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

John Mark explores the transformative power of Scripture memorization—not as a childhood relic, but as a vital practice for spiritual formation, mental renewal, and resilience in suffering. He challenges us to build an inner library of God's Word so that, like Jesus, we're prepared to meet pain, temptation, and everyday moments with truth formed deep in our hearts.Key Scripture Passage: Matthew 27v45-54This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.
