For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. Romans 8:19 NLT Don't forget to share this podcast with at least someone.

On this episode of "What's Life?" your hosts Megan & Amber discuss how they are living in a time where it is easy to allow your worries to take over. Although worrying may be the easy way out, we must stop and listen to God as he tells us "Don't Worry About It Sweetheart".  We spend a lot of time worrying about the things around us, our futures, and the decisions we make while God is waiting for us to cast all of our worries unto him and keep pushing through! Philippians 4:6 NLT Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  Follow Us!

Paradigm Shift: A Study from the Sermon on the Mount (Episode 2, "Shift What is Right") “But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!" Matthew 5:20 (NLT) Don't ask, "Is it wrong?" ask, "Is it right?" Hate kills your relationships “You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.’ But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell." MATTHEW 5:21-22 (NLT) Lust cheats you from real love “You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart." MATTHEW 5:27-28 (NLT) “You have heard the law that says, ‘A man can divorce his wife by merely giving her a written notice of divorce.’ But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman also commits adultery." MATTHEW 5:31-32 (NLT) Broken promises break trust “You have also heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not break your vows; you must carry out the vows you make to the Lord.’ But I say, do not make any vows! Do not say, ‘By heaven!’ because heaven is God’s throne. Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one." MATTHEW 5:33-34, 37 (NLT) Revenge never wins “You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. If you are sued in court and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat, too. If a soldier demands that you carry his gear for a mile, carry it two miles. Give to those who ask, and don’t turn away from those who want to borrow." MATTHEW 5:38-42 (NLT) "But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect." MATTHEW 5:48 (NLT) For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 (NLT)

Ephesians 4:23 says, "Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes." (NLT)Don't miss the implication here: God can change your mind.If you allow Him to do the work He has already begun in you, you won't always struggle with what you struggle with. You won't always worry about what you're worried about. You will take your thoughts captive instead of being held captive by your thoughts. When you make God's Word a priority—reading it, speaking it, living it—transformation is absolutely inevitable.

SUNDAY JUNE 30 - FAQ BIO Do you ever sit around wondering about certain spiritual questions like… “Is it wrong to go dancing?” “Should a Christian get a tattoo?”  “Will we be married in heaven?” “Do people turn into angels in heaven?”  “Is it wrong to trust in horoscopes?” “Is it OK to spank your kids?”  “What’s up with the whole dinosaur stuff?” “Is there ‘for real’ an unforgiveable sin?” You’ve got questions? The Bible has the answers. And where the text is unclear, we will give you our opinions and what has formed them. Some of life’s most fun, most interesting, most shocking, and most trivial questions will be discussed with real questions from real people.   Q&A RULES: The Bible is the STANDARD OF TRUTH Wherever the BIBLE SPEAKS CLEARLY, I will stand with it and will not waiver a bit Where the BIBLE DOESN’T SPEAK DIRECTLY to an issue, I will look for PRINCIPLES TO APPLY If I CAN’T FIND PRINCIPLES that apply, I will give MY OPINION Let’s do it all with a SPIRIT OF GRACE, compassion, empathy and shared experiences. Nobody is a “STUPID IDIOT!” 1 PETER 3:15 NIV Always be PREPARED TO GIVE AN ANSWER to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with GENTLENESS and RESPECT. 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17 NIV All SCRIPTURE is God-breathed and is useful for TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING and TRAINING in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.   TOPICS IN FAQ SERIES - FOUR CATEGORIZED TOPICS God’s Love, Salvation & Eternity Bible Interpretation, Faith & Science Church Community & Relationships with Unbelievers Moral Behavior & Sexuality   TODAYS MESSAGE - MORAL BEHAVIOR   1 - MORALITY & ETHICS - What is morality?   DEFINITION Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.   TWO CATEGORIC VIEWS OF MORALITY 1.   MORAL RELATIVISM 2.   MORAL ABSOLUTISM   MORAL RELATIVISM: The view that moral standards and judgments are only relative to the subject opinion of the individual and that no standpoint is privileged over all others.   MORAL ABSOLUTISM: The view that there are absolute standards and judgments that universally apply to all people and cultures.   BOOK – CHRISTIAN ETHICS – NORMAN GEISLER _______________ 2 - MORALITY & ETHICS - Can I participate in things that AREN’T EXPLICITLY “CHRISTIAN?” JAMES 4:4 NLT … Don't you realize that FRIENDSHIP with the WORLD makes you an enemy of God? JAMES 4:17 ESV So whoever KNOWS THE RIGHT THING to do and FAILS TO DO IT, for him it is SIN.   8 FILTER QUESTIONS  Does God clearly say you should or should not participate? Is it congruent with your values and life vision? Does it emotionally dysregulate you or diminish your love for Jesus? Does it infringe upon your conscience? Does it diminish your own story in Jesus? Does it compel “secrets” with those you trust? Does it open you to moral vulnerabilities? Would you like to see your Pastor/Pastor’s wife doing it? _______________ 3 - SANTA CLAUS – What should I tell my kids about Santa? _______________ 4 -  CURSING – What determines whether something is a curse word, since nowhere in the bible is there a list found of inappropriate words? MATTHEW 15:18-20 NKJV [Jesus said] But those things which proceed out of the MOUTH COME FROM the HEART, and they DEFILE a man. 19 For OUT OF THE HEART proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. EPHESIANS 5:4 NIV [Paul said] Nor should there be OBSCENITY, FOOLISH TALK or COARSE JOKING, which are out of place, BUT RATHER THANKSGIVING. EPHESIANS 4:29 NKJV [Paul said] Let NO CORRUPT WORD proceed out of your mouth, but what is GOOD for necessary EDIFICATION, that it may impart GRACE TO THE HEARERS. _______________ 5 - DEMON MOVIES - Is watching a show or movie with demons in it a sin. PROVERBS 4:23 NIV Above all else, GUARD your HEART, for everything you do flows from it. 2 PETER 2:7-8 NKJV [God] delivered righteous Lot, [who was] oppressed [VEXED] BY THE FILTHY CONDUCT of the wicked 8 (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, TORMENTED [HIS] RIGHTEOUS SOUL from day to day by seeing and hearing [their] lawless deeds)-- EPHESIANS 5:8-12 NIV For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have NOTHING TO DO with the fruitless deeds of DARKNESS, but rather expose them. 12 It is SHAMEFUL EVEN TO MENTION what the DISOBEDIENT DO IN SECRET. _______________ 6 - NATIONAL LAWS - Is it a sin to break NATIONAL LAWS LIKE SPEEDING? ROMANS 13:1-5 NKJV Let every soul be subject to the GOVERNING AUTHORITIES. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever RESISTS THE AUTHORITY resists the ORDINANCE OF GOD, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be UNAFRAID OF THE AUTHORITY? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to [execute] wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore [you] must be subject, not only because of wrath but also FOR CONSCIENCE' SAKE.   QUESTIONS Does God care if I drive 56 MPH in a 55 SPEED ZONE?

ISAIAH 47:13-15 NIV…Let your ASTROLOGERS come forward, those STARGAZERS who make predictions MONTH BY MONTH…Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up…Each of them goes on in his ERROR… DEUTERONOMY 18:10-12 NIV Let no one be found among who… who practices DIVINATION or SORCERY, interprets OMENS, engages in WITCHCRAFT, or CASTS SPELLS, or who is a MEDIUM or SPIRITIST or who CONSULTS THE DEAD.

God with you? Jehovah Shammah, one of the names of God that I include in my prayer almost everyday is only used once in the Bible. Ezekiel shares his prophetic dream of a city that God calls Jehovah Shammah which means "God is there.' Easton's Bible Encyclopedia says the city that Ezekiel saw is a type (symbol or picture) of the gospel Church. Jehovah Shammah is considered by theologians to be one of the 7 redemptive names of God because Jesus' death made it possible for God's spirit to dwell in believers. Jesus promised in Matthew 28:20 that He would always be with us. Even though there is an abundance of Old and New Testament verses that assures us of God's presence, there seems to be some doubt that God is really with us. '  Brady Boyd, in his book' Sons and Daughters: Orphans on our way Home, writes that God spoke to his heart..."Brady, people are overwhelmed by the circumstances they face, because they've stopped believing I am near. Don't give way to the panic. And tell others to stop panicking too. I am closer than the air you're breathing, and my presence brings all the power you need.''  It breaks my heart to think that people have stopped believing God is with them. People seem to be wondering where God has gone, so I want to remind you' God is with you! Really? I know you already know that, but do you really know that? If I asked you "Do you know that God is with you?' you would probably answer "Of course I do'! God is omnipresent like the air that is all around us. We don't see the air, but it's there. We know and believe verses like: Psalms 139:7 NLT "I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!' Jeremiah 23:24 NLT "Can anyone hide from me in a secret place? Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?" says the LORD.' God is omni-present You've seen His fingerprints in creation and His Divine design as you've held a brand new baby or watched the reproductive process of a seed. You've stood silently in awe as a glorious sunset painted the sky with color and you've craned your neck to see a sky full of stars. No one has to tell you that only God could do that! But, if you only know Him as a distant creator, it's like recognizing Michael Jordan or Warren Buffet at a restaurant. God wants you recognize Him, but He wants more out of your relationship with Him. He wants to share Himself with you! It is important that we experience four distinct dimensions of God's presence. 1. Omni-present. 2. Indwelling presence. 3. Infilling. 4. Manifest presence. Indwelling Presence Every born again believer has received God's indwelling presence. It is like what a baby does when it is born. It breathes air into its lungs and it lives. If you have been born again, He is with you!!! He's in you! Ephesians 3:17 NLT "Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong.' Ephesians 2:22 NLT "Through him you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God lives by his Spirit.' Be Filled with the Holy Spirit Ephesians 5:18 NLT Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit. I love, love, LOVE to talk about the benefits of being Spirit filled. I have so many pages on my website about Precious Holy Spirit, so I won't allow myself to pause here. (You can check them out' here.)'  It's important for you to believe He is With You. When you believe that you need to change your thoughts and words to reflect the belief that you are never alone, you don't need to pray for Him to be with you. He already is. You simply need to become more aware of His presence. Manifest Presence Still there are times like those on a cold day that you can actually see your breath or times you see steam rising from boiling water on the stove. Exodus 19:18 NLT "All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because the LORD had descended on it in the form of fire. The smoke billowed into the sky like smoke from a brick kiln, and the whole mountain shook violently.' He manifests His presence when we seek Him. Jeremiah 29:13 NLT "If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.' Colossians 1:27b NLT "And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.' (His glory is His manifest presence.) In His manifest presence we are enfolded with His radiant love and joy. We were made to connect with God. Often as we move from thanksgiving to praise and then to worship, we can sense His nearness. Not all the time, but often as I open my heart to God in the morning before my day begins or when I begin to tell someone about Jesus and how precious He is to me I can feel His nearness. It is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. Those precious God encounters have marked my life with His love. He is With us! Yet even when I don't feel Him, He is still there. I am aware of His presence so, even when I don't feel His presence I talk to Him, ask Him questions and ask for His help. I've gone through Peggy Williams'' 21-Day Formula for God Confidence three times. The first time I went through it I was caught off guard by her bold declaration "You are the woman/man God is with.' When I read those words, I got a mental picture of myself at a party.'  The happy party was in a location with wide doorways emptying into several rooms with lots of people filling the space. I was a guest at the party when another guest leaned over and asked me quietly "Who is he with?' and nodded toward a guest just inside the next room. I knew immediately whom she was talking about. The guest was famous. His face and prestige was recognizable by everyone there. Everyone wanted to talk with him, touch him or at the very least get near him. I smiled and answered, "He's with me!' as I moved to go to where He was. I am the woman God is with! I am not trying, neither was my friend, to say that we have an exclusive claim that no one else can share. Anyone can experience an intimate relationship with God. It begins by becoming aware that He is with you. But the fact is, I can and do have that kind of relationship with Him. My relationship with Jesus is a game changer. Game Changer Let me explain why I say and believe that because Jesus is with you it is a "game changer.' Let's say something happens and you think'¦'Oh no. I don't know what to do! But, because He is with you, you immediately begin a conversation with Him'¦Father, I don't know what to do, so I ask you to give me wisdom. Show me what to do. Where do I need to go to find the wisdom I need for this situation?" Another example. Let's say a friend asks you to cover up something by telling a lie for them. Because Jesus is with you, you can lovingly, but courageously, reply "I love you, but I won't lie for you because lying grieves the heart of Jesus and violates my values as a believer.' Benefits There are many fabulous benefits that come with having a friend like Jesus'¦because He is with you, you can'¦ be confident, peaceful, joyful, bold, loving and obedient to God. speak and live the truth boldly without harshness. You don't have to hide behind lies or make excuses. be free from addictions. be released from every prison of un-forgiveness or fear. release your faith to experience provision, favor with God and man, and wisdom. enjoy eating and sharing the good fruit that His Spirit develops in you: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faith, Gentleness, Self-control. I am learning to set myself up for success by believing and trusting God more and changing the way I think. Part of my strategy is to talk to myself, especially when I am facing something difficult. Yes, I talk to myself. My self-talk used to be destructive and discouraging, but I don't do that anymore! (Praise God!) Since I believe that Jesus goes with me everywhere I go, I can confidently say,' "I am the woman God is with.''  Here's an example if I'm dealing with a difficult person. I say Pat, God is with you. He's with you girl (Sometimes I don't pay attention to myself and I need to repeat it!) Pat, because He is with you, you can do the right thing. God's gonna help you! You can be kind, Pat, cause God is giving you some of His kindness. He loves this person. You may not feel like you have any love to give, but He's giving you some of His love to love them with. I’d like to pray with you. Father, I pray for my dear reader. Help them to have a new awareness of your presence. Help them to walk in greater confidence because they are confident in your greatness! Amen. Here's the link to sign up for Peggy Williams 21 Formula For Christ Confidence
