FORMATION TIME1. What would gratitude look like in this moment? (Thanking God for what he has already done?2. In your seasons of waiting (and maybe you are currently in one..), how have you relied on God in that time?3. Pray Psalm 40 for your own life.

False accusations sting … but they don't have to sink you. Instead, they can be used to demonstrate our faith and deepen our trust in God as we wait for Him to vindicate us.That's what we are going to see in Psalm 26 as David walks through false accusations and, instead of trying to prove himself innocent in the court of public opinion, he 1) leaves the matter with God to sort out and 2) prays that God would use this season of being misunderstood as the means by which he might grow in godliness. He then gives himself to walking in holiness as he waits for God's vindication. Thus, Psalm 26 helps teach you and I how we can respond righteously when we walk through being falsely accused; helping us see 1) how to pray and 2) what to give ourselves to (holiness) as we wait for vindication.Here are two ways to prepare before listening to this sermon: 1️⃣ Read Psalm 26 and note: A) the things that David prays and B) the things David commits to.
2️⃣ Reflect on your last false‑accusation moment—how did you respond? Was it like David? How or how not?Then, spend some time praying:1️⃣ “Judge & vindicate me.” God - help me to not constantly live for the court of public approval; rather, let me learn to care about your approval and living righteously instead.2️⃣ “Refine me.” If you are currently walking through false accusations, ask the Spirit to burn away bitterness instead of letting it take root and ask that this situation might be used to refine you so that you might walk in holiness in every area of your life.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Ken Dunwoody from Atlanta, GA. Thank you for partnering with us through Project23. You're helping us call hearts back to the Word. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 7:6-8: And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.” — Mark 7:6-8 This is a mic-drop moment from Jesus. He's not just correcting the Pharisees—he's exposing them. He quotes Isaiah, calling out their hypocrisy: “This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.” That's a hardcore call-out. These religious leaders sounded godly. They looked godly. But their hearts weren't close to God—they were far off, buried beneath the weight of practice, performance, and pride. Their worship was hollow. Their obedience, performative. Their leadership, off course. And their doctrine? Built more on man-made rules than God's revealed Word. And here's the warning for us: it's easy to drift into lip-service faith. We say the right words, but our hearts are disengaged. We quote Scripture, but don't surrender to it. We sing worship songs, but don't live worshipful lives. We know all the Christian lingo, but we don't love like Christ. It's possible to build a whole spiritual life that looks right—while being far from God. So ask yourself: — Am I more loyal to tradition than to truth? — Am I teaching others to do things God never commanded? — Do I sound faithful but live faithless? God doesn't want your performance—he wants your presence. He doesn't need spiritual noise—he wants spiritual nearness. He's after your heart. Not just your habits. #HeartBeforeHabit, #JesusNotJustWords, #FaithThatFeels ASK THIS: What spiritual practices have I been doing out of routine, not relationship? Have I substituted God's Word with man-made rules or traditions? Where is my heart far from God, even if my words sound close? How can I move from lip-service to true-hearted obedience? DO THIS: Pause today and examine your heart. Pray Psalm 139:23–24—ask God to reveal where you've drifted into routine and return to genuine worship. PRAY THIS: God, I don't want to honor you with words but deny you with my heart. Pull me close. Break down my traditions. Rekindle authentic worship. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Give Me Jesus” – Jeremy Camp

A Practical Way to Pray - Psalm 123 - Pastor John Weigle

It's Monday, May 5th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 18-wheeler truck plowed in Easter parade, killing 6, injuring 18 A government-appointed committee determined that the Muslim driver of an 18-wheeler truck that plowed into an Easter parade on Sunday, April 21, in the town of Billiri in Gombe State, Nigeria, intentionally struck the Christians as they celebrated Christ's resurrection.  The committee also found that of the 36 people struck in the attack, six died, and 18 remain in critical condition, reports International Christian Concern. Pray Psalm 147:6. It says, “The Lord sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.” China official hints he wants to end tariff war with U.S. China is hinting that it could be willing to talk to Trump administration officials as a way to end the trade and tariff war, reports The Western Journal. A Chinese Commerce Ministry representative said, “China is currently evaluating” messages from administration officials that “expressed their willingness to negotiate with China on tariffs,” according to the Wall Street Journal. He added, “China's position is consistent. If you want to fight, we will fight to the end; if you want to talk, our door is wide open.” President Donald Trump's 145 percent tariff on Chinese imports led China to impose a 125 percent tariff on American imports. Trump has said he will not blink without concessions that could include greater access to Chinese markets. Chinese-American expert: Get tougher on China Appearing on ‘Fox Report' with Jon Scott, Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang explained that China has no tariffs on certain categories of products that only America can provide. SCOTT: “China is making allowances for some US products to be imported without tariffs. Does that suggest that they are finding that it's not so easy to block U.S. products?” CHANG: “Oh, absolutely. And you know, it's not just that they're reducing tariffs. You know, for instance, President Trump reduced tariffs on electronic goods coming in from China. “What China has done, which we learned from both the Reuters and the Financial Times reporting yesterday, is that there are no tariffs on certain categories of U.S goods. So, for instance, aviation parts, semiconductors, medical devices, medicines, industrial chemicals -- things that China can't get elsewhere -- and they're just coming into China tariff-free.” Chang urged Trump to get even tougher on China. CHANG: “Instead of talking about reducing tariffs, I think that we need to start actually imposing some more costs. “So, for instance, China is not taking Boeing aircraft deliveries. We flew back three 737 Maxes from China that were about to be delivered. Well, if I were President Trump, I would say to Boeing, ‘You can no longer provide services or parts to Chinese Airlines because that will ground the Chinese fleet. And I think that will bring the Chinese to heel fairly quickly. “But we need to do some things that would be considered unthinkable. This is not the type of normal trade war that people are used to. This is looking like an all-encompassing struggle. When President Trump last week signaled conciliatory moves, the Chinese even got worse, and they were saying, ‘Well, no talks until the U.S. removes all tariffs.'” Angry parent blasts school board over daughter's gender transition A furious Lakewood, Colorado father, Dustin Gonzalez, lost his temper with woke educators during a county school board meeting, saying his daughter's new gender identity and transition was kept secret from him and affirmed by school staff. GONZALEZ: “I'm not a politician. I'm not a loud voice on social media. I'm a father, a quiet one, one who goes to work, tries to do right by his family, and stays out of the spotlight. But now, now you're gonna remember my name. “My daughter changed her identity, not after years of discussion or family dialogue, not from joint input from both of her parents. No, this happened quickly, secretly, encouraged by a school-appointed therapist in a system that never thought to include me. And the school didn't inform me. They didn't include me. They didn't even ask me. They replaced me! “By the time I found out, I was already labeled ‘the problem.' My objections weren't treated as concerns. They were treated as opposition. My voice was dismissed as hateful. My presence undermined. The therapist, the school, and eventually the court-appointed investigator all decided that because I wouldn't affirm something, I didn't deserve to parent my daughter equally anymore. “They didn't accuse me of abuse. They didn't claim I'd caused harm. The only evidence against me was that I said, ‘I'm not ready to affirm this yet.' That's it! “And now I'm at risk of losing parenting time, of being erased from my daughter's life, not because I failed as a father, but because I dared to ask questions. And it started in your schools. Your systems made it possible, and your silence made it permanent! “You gave my ex all the tools she needed to take our daughter from me, tools that she couldn't have forged on her own. You gave her the therapist, you gave her the ideological support, and you never once thought, ‘Shouldn't the father be involved too?' “You gave her a system that cut me out of the picture. You handed her the tools to eliminate me from my daughter's life. And with your help, she's trying to race me all together. You replaced my voice. You stole my seat at the table. And you made decisions about my daughter without me! “I don't care if you personally signed the policies, stayed silent while he passed, or simply chose not to know, you are all responsible. Don't think you can take a man's child from him and not reap a whirlwind!” Just like Psalm 103:13 articulates, a father has compassion on his child. But sadly, in this case, the government school's woke policies became a wedge between father and child. Texas Governor signs $1 billion school choice program And finally, on Saturday, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott signed a $1 billion school voucher program into law, cementing the biggest legislative victory of his decade in office, reports the San Antonio Express-News. ABBOTT: “It is time that we put our children on a pathway to having the number one ranked education system in the United States of America. (applause) “Gone are the days that families are limited to only the school assigned by government. The day has arrived that empowers parents to choose the school that's best for their child.” Abbott referenced parents in the crowd who had already pulled their students from “low-performing” public schools to put them into private ones.  Under the $1 billion school choice law, Texas students who are enrolled into the program will receive $10,000 per year to go to an accredited private school. Disabled students will get up to $30,000 per year and home schooled students will receive $2,000 per year per child. The first year of operation will begin in 2027. The state will choose nonprofits to run the program, develop the application process, and pick which 100,000 students will have access to it.

But Aubrey reminds us: “The power is in Jesus, not in the practice” This practice is a way to point people to Jesus Friends, this is a longer than usual episode, but when Aubrey gets fired up he brings the wisdom and the fire and I don't want to stop him!

We are in a new, three-part series where I am sharing three questions you can reflect on when things seem off but you can't quite pinpoint what it is. These come from the back of my book, Image Restored, but I am expounding them here. Last week we explored the question "How is your heart?" This week I want to know - how are your words? Luke 6:45 reminds us that “the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” When you aren't sure about the answer to the previous question about your heart, listen to the words you speak. Proverbs 12:18, "The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." Proverbs 18:8, "The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts." Process: How are your words? Pray: Psalm 19:14, "May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer." Resource: As I mentioned, the three questions we are exploring in this series come from my book, Image Restored.  Go to imagerestoredbook.com to learn more and purchase a copy today.

We are in a new, three-part series where I am sharing three questions you can reflect on when things seem off but you can't quite pinpoint what it is. These come from the back of my book, Image Restored, but I am expounding them here. The first question I want you to ask is this - How is my heart? “People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” - 1 Samuel 16:7 “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” - Proverbs 4:23 We guard our heart by submitting them to the Lord for His protection and doing our part with routine heart checks, just like you would with a medical doctor. If your heart doesn't feel right about an area, ask the Lord to place a pin on what is off. Process: How is your heart? Pray: Psalm 139:23-24, "Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!"

My book, Image Restored, was released in March and we are in a Restored Series here on the podcast. While this series can address body image struggles, I am teaching how you can apply it to ANY area of your life. We have covered a lot of topics in this series, so if you missed any, now is a great time to go listen to any you missed. This week our theme comes from chapter 13. This chapter is actually about expectations, but I wanted to sit and have some real talk with you about why it's important to be real with ourselves, God, and others about our expectations, fears, thoughts, emotions, or anything else that is weighing us down. Two key quotes from this chapter: "Stop comparing yourself to your younger self; she's another woman." "My future grandchildren will not remember Grandma by my wrinkles or gray hair; instead, they will remember a woman who feared and praised the Lord." Therapist Thoughts: The brain is far more sophisticated than we realize. No one has to say that we are more valuable, special, or worthy when we are skinny or have a certain body type. Our brains automatically fill in the gaps when we see that those who get the most attention in the media are thin, youthful, attractive people. This leaves the brain constantly evaluating questions about our identity and worth through the lens of, How attractive, thin, or acceptable am I? This is incredibly stressful, as something as important as our worth as human beings is constantly being evaluated based solely on our outward appearance. On a sticky note, write words of affirmation to retrain your brain to focus on the truth from God's Word. (Adapted from Dr. Shannon Crawford) Process: Expectations line: What expectations have you set that you are exhausted from trying to live up to? Pray: Psalm 26:2, "Test me, Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind." Resource: The resource I recommend for all of these episodes is my book, Image Restored.

When motives go wrong, it's an attack on our original design. This week our theme is Motives Restored from chapter 12 of my book, Image Restored. Therapist Thoughts: People are not born with core beliefs; they are learned. What core beliefs have you learned about your body that God would love to rewrite? Process: One of the best questions I've learned to ask that uproots the mold in my heart is this: “Why are you chasing what you are chasing?” Pray: Psalm 26:2, "Test me, Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind."
