A powerful reminder of renewal, hope, and God’s faithfulness. After seasons of darkness—whether physical like winter or emotional like discouragement—spring arrives with warmth, beauty, and new life. In the same way, God brings renewal to our hearts, reminding us that difficult seasons are not permanent. This devotional encourages us to look for signs of hope, trust in God’s timing, and embrace the fresh start He offers. Highlights Season of Renewal: Spring symbolizes new beginnings, hope, and emotional restoration. Hope in Darkness: Even in difficult seasons, small signs of change remind us that better days are coming. God’s Faithfulness: Just as seasons change, God faithfully brings renewal in His perfect timing. Spiritual Awakening: Like nature coming back to life, our hearts can be refreshed and restored in Christ. Perspective Shift: Recognizing beauty in small details helps cultivate gratitude and joy.

Spring is a time of new beginnings. When I was younger, it reminded me that the endless days of darkness were behind me. As someone who struggles with depression, spring brings a renewed sense of hope. It helps me feel more positive about life and breaks the cycle of staying inside, hiding from the world, and feeling empty. When spring arrives, we are greeted by blooming flowers and the warm sun on our faces. Many springs have filled my heart with joy and given me a fresh start emotionally. There is something about winter’s darkness that brings dread, yet spring ushers in hope and joy. You may have experienced this too; spring has a way of leading our hearts toward warmth, tranquility, and happiness. A few years ago, I began searching for subtle signs of spring even during the winter months. On walks, I would look for the tiniest flower bud or a green vine stretching quietly in the shadows. Without fail, God would reveal a small sign of what was coming. Even the smallest glimpse gave me hope for happier, warmer, longer days ahead. The frigid season was passing, and spring was on its way. Spring feels especially beautiful after winter because it restores our view of the world’s beauty. During winter, nature lies dormant; in spring, it awakens and flourishes once again. Spring is not a season to overlook, even if it stirs up our allergies. Instead, we can rejoice in it and give God glory for the fresh start we have in Him. Just as the earth returns to life, we can experience renewal too, especially if winter has been a difficult season for us. If winter was hard, we need to be honest with ourselves without condemning our struggles. Some seasons are heavier than others. Yet we can hold onto the promise that spring will come. Some years it may feel delayed, but it will arrive. And when it does, we can rejoice and praise the Lord with hopeful hearts. Intersecting Faith & Life: The Bible tells us, “When a king’s face brightens, it means life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring” (Proverbs 16:15). In biblical times, retaining a king’s favor was vital. His disfavor could result in death, but his approval meant protection and preservation. Likewise, a rain cloud in spring is a blessing. It nourishes the plants and flowers, sustaining their growth. In the same way, a king’s joy brought life to his people. The proverb reminds us that favor and blessing produce renewal, just as spring rain revives the earth. Take special notice of spring this year and allow it to warm your soul. Winter has passed, along with its bitter cold and long, dark days. The sorrow and mental heaviness that sometimes accompany those months can begin to lift as well. Spring carries the promise of new life, renewed joy, and restored hope. Praise the Lord for the beauty and life He brings through this season. What is your favorite thing about the season of spring? What are a few ways you can give God praise for the beauty of spring?

According to the Bible, the love of money is the root of all evil. Many believe this sin only affects those who have money, but this is not true. Anyone, whether a believer or nonbeliever, can fall into the trap of loving money. Those pursuing their calling must be especially cautious not to succumb to this temptation. __________ 1 Timothy 6:10 KJV, 1 John 5:3 KJV, Matthew 6:24 NIV, Ecclesiastes 10:19 KJV, Genesis 12:10 KJV, Genesis 12:14–16 KJV, Luke 8:14 MSG, Matthew 6:33–34 KJV, Genesis 26:1–3, 12–14 KJV, Proverbs 10:22 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

Moments, momentum, and legends—this podcast breaks down how being present creates powerful relationships, personal growth, and legendary success. If you're looking for motivation, leadership insight, faith-based discipline, and a blueprint for real impact, this conversation will reset your perspective.We talk about a simple but life-changing truth: when you slow down and truly see people, you create moments. Those moments turn into momentum. And that momentum? That's what builds the foundation for legendary results.I learned this the hard way.Over the last two weeks, life was moving fast—speaking to the U.S. Marine Corps, connecting with the American Military University Student Veteran Association, showing up at American Public University, taking the stage at HealthTAC (the top conference in senior living), hosting The Vibe Room, and doing my best to lead as a father, husband, and friend.From the outside, it looked like momentum.But underneath it? I skipped the most important moment of all.I got “too busy” to spend intentional time with God in the morning.And today… I got checked.I sat down, opened Proverbs 18, and it hit different. It laid out a clear blueprint for what it means to be a true friend—and it starts with presence. Real presence. Undivided attention. No distractions.Because when you're present:You create moments.Those moments create momentum.And that momentum builds something legendary.This episode is a reminder that success without alignment is empty—and that the smallest daily disciplines often create the biggest life results.Take the moment. Build the momentum. Become the legend.

Paul Johnson teaches from Proverbs 15: 33 and lays out a clear Kingdom progression: the fear of the Lord → wisdom → humility → honor. He describes the fear of the Lord as the “locomotive” that pulls the rest of a believer's life forward. When people rightly fear God, they become teachable. Teach-ability leads to wisdom. Wisdom produces humility. And humility prepares the way for honor. This message is both a call to personal alignment and a biblical explanation of why honor matters in the life of the Church. The fear of the Lord is not about terror without relationship. It is reverence, awe, surrender, and the recognition that God is holy, God is in authority, and we will give an account to Him. It calls us to stop playing games with God, return to His Word, hate evil without hating people, and live with holy seriousness. A teachable heart is essential for spiritual growth. Pride blinds us to our own flaws and magnifies the failures of others, but humility helps us see ourselves rightly before God. Honor is not something to chase. It is not self-exaltation, attention-seeking, or the desire to be noticed. True honor is the fruit of a life that fears God, walks in wisdom, and lives in humility. To honor someone is to value them for who God made them to be. Where is God inviting you to grow today—in reverence, in teach-ability, or in humility? Don't just hear this message—let it shape the way you live. The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
Over the course of the last 15 weeks, we have taken a deep dive into various Names of God. I want to encourage you to not stop - take the study even deeper. I just scratched the surface. Proverbs 18:10 says, "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are saved." If we know who God really is, we will know who to call upon, or where to turn or run to in times of need. Daniel 11:32b says, "The people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits" (NKJV). As the people of God we must learn to know everything we can about God. As we wrap up the series of The Names of God, I pray you have come to know God at a deeper level, but there is always more to know and learn about Him.

This week's Bible study approaches the way of sainthood and how we can walk in it. It is a way that is not within material means. They are within holy means that lead to salvation and sanctification. One of those means for holiness is who I surround myself with. In heaven it is impossible to find someone who is not humble. The lazy person suffers from irrational fear. When one continues to use fear as an excuse, in their minds it becomes reality.
Fr. Mina talks about how we should treat others according to God's word. It especially emphasizes the way we should treat our enemies, we need to love and care for them. We need to show them love because this gives us a glimpse into God's heart. We can also connect to God's heart by committing ourselves to a life of righteousness. This means choosing to stay away from a foolish life. A foolish life is one where we choose to ignore the sacrifice and love that God gave us to satisfy our earthly needs. A righteous life is one where we choose to appreciate God's grace and sacrifice for us.
We continue our journey through the treasures of the book of Proverbs and dive into its personal message to each of us that it becomes our duty to practice as Christians. Correction is not the simple fact of correcting what is wrong but it is made complete when the one making the correction explains what ought to be done instead of the wrong and the rationale behind it. The church does not need more people attacking it...the church needs people who are with God, who seek peace and pursue it, and who refresh the soul with a word.
If I am still practicing a sinful life, I have not yet stepped into a life of perfection. God entrusted us with a field, and we will either be a man who takes care of the field and nourish it, or become a lazy man that lets thorns out to choke any possible fruit from growth.
We often feel the desire to be better than others, and this can cause us to feel happy when we see others stumble. But God's commandment is clear—everyone is made in the image of God, and we must not rejoice in the suffering of others. God requires us, as His children, to have His heart. The Lord calls us to change ourselves internally to become more righteous, but sometimes we get distracted from this inner change and seek external ways to improve ourselves. This distracts us from the true purpose of our lives. It is important to remember that what we do in the world is still connected to our internal change. Our outward actions affect the blessings that are allowed into our own homes. By controlling what we think and say about others and focusing on our own hearts, we can grow closer to the Heart of the Lord, who searches for souls to join Him.

Astrophysicist and apologist Hugh Ross returns to the blurry basement to talk about his new book, Noah's Flood Revisited, and the case he's making that the Genesis flood account is scientifically credible when read literally and historically. Hugh walks through why he believes the flood was universal to all humanity but not necessarily global in geographic scope, how no Christian scholar explicitly argued for a global flood until the 17th century, and why the Bible itself, in Job, Psalms, and Proverbs, may rule out water covering the entire planet after creation day three. He also unpacks Noah's overlooked role as a prophet, the "two books" framework of nature and scripture, and why this passage is by far the most ridiculed section of the Bible among skeptics and believers alike.The conversation goes deep on ancient human migration, the dating of the flood to a possible Ice Age event tens of thousands of years ago, the Nephilim and what Genesis 6:4 actually says about their return, and how 300+ flood legends across the Americas support a pre-migration event. Hugh also drops news about a forthcoming book on ETI and UAPs, talks about why ancient peoples weren't as ignorant as we assume, and shares why getting skeptics past the flood narrative might be the key to getting them all the way to Jesus.

We find ourselves feeling powerless because we don't realize who we are in Christ and that God has given us the power of decision. And with this power comes great responsibility, but it is our power to use. For example, many women in abusive marriages look to pastors and Bible teachers to answer the question, "Should I get a divorce or should I stay?" And many women get answers that they find unsatisfactory in either direction, and they are plunged into a feeling of powerlessness. Or maybe you are in a job that you hate, and you want to quit your job and start a business. But others are telling you to be responsible and not quit. Or perhaps you are called to the ministry, and your church leadership disagrees with you or doesn't notice your ministry call. Yes, seek counsel from a pastor and trusted advisors, but at the end of the day, the decision (right or wrong) in any area of your life is yours to make. __________ John 21:25 KJV, 2 Timothy 3:16–17 KJV, Deuteronomy 30:19–20 KJV, Hebrews 10:16 KJV, John 15:7 KJV, John 5:30 KJV, John 14:26 KJV, 1 John 2:20 KJV, 1 John 2:27 KJV, Proverbs 20:5 KJV, Ephesians 4:11–16 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
NUMBERS 26:1-51 | LUKE 2:36-52 | PSALM 60:1-12 | PROVERBS 11:15
It's Tuesday, March 17th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Cuba is on verge of collapse Cuba, a communist country in the Western Hemisphere, is on the verge of collapse. Oil shipments to the island nation stopped three months ago and the nation's electric grid gave out over the weekend. Plus, the country's Gross Domestic Product, the total monetary value of all goods and services produced within a country's borders, slipped another 5% last year. According to the United Nation's Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, communist Cuba has the worst GDP/capita in Latin America — barely reaching $1,000 per year. The worst economies in Latin America are communist Venezuela, communist Nicaragua, communist Cuba, and Haiti. Cuba is ripest nation for spiritual revival Despite the economic doom and gloom, Cuba appears to be the ripest for spiritual revival of any nation in the world today. The Baptists have reported a 40-fold increase in the number of churches since 1990. One estimate puts the total number of Cuban believers at two million. That's about 20% of the population -- higher than membership in the communist party for the country. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus promised that “He would build His church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” 47% of Americans oppose the U.S.-Iranian war Americans continue to have mixed opinions about the Iran conflict. New polling averages, from Real Clear Politics, found that 44% of Americans support the war, while 47% oppose the fight. Similarly, a Quinnipiac poll found that only 40% of Americans favor the war, with 53% in opposition. A whopping 74% of Americans are opposed to sending ground troops into the war, something the Trump administration has not ruled out. Court allows naked men in women's spa The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has let stand a lower court ruling requiring a private spa, intended for women, to allow naked men to frequent the premises. The Washington State spa owners insisted this policy would be contrary to their Christian beliefs. Thus far, at least five judges have filed dissents on the decision. 19% of employees at U.S. companies are foreign workers American corporations are hiring foreign workers like never before, recent numbers indicate 19.2% of their employees are foreign workers, up from 12% twenty years ago. Another 10% of the U.S. workforce is also provided for by digital offshoring by organizations like Upwork. That makes almost a third of the U.S. workforce now provided for by foreigners. Pastor: If you're a Christian, don't live in sin with someone Megachurch pastor Josh Howerton of LakePointe Church in Dallas, Texas, challenged Christian couples to stop living in sin. HOWERTON: “The Bible is going to say things about marriage, sexuality and divorce that are very controversial to the world. My response to that is: ‘To who?' Because what the world says about marriage is controversial to Heaven. I would rather Heaven be pleased and the world say we're controversial than be applauded by the world and controversial before Heaven.” Pastor Howerton concluded his sermon with this challenge. HOWERTON: “You're living with somebody that's not your spouse. You're sleeping with somebody that's not your spouse. Or you've actually already started a family and had kids with somebody that's not your spouse. “And you, right now, are coming under the loving conviction of the Holy Spirit that you need to honor God, bend your knee to Jesus, put a ring on it, and enter into a covenant with a person that you're already acting like you're in a covenant with. “What I want you to know is we want to help you do that, because we got a little thing at Lakepoint. We say, ‘The only time we look down on people is to give them a hand up.' “So, here's what we want to do. We got a whole team of pastors. We are ready to have a mass wedding ceremony. I'm 100% serious. We got people. We're gonna walk with you, counsel you, help you, and then we're gonna get you married. We're gonna throw a big party. “And guess what? Your church family is not going to be doing. These people aren't going to be judging you. They're going to be cheering you on as you step forward into obedience to Jesus Christ.” Remarkably, following the sermon, 52 couples came forward and were married at the church a couple of weeks later. Isaiah 1:18 says, “Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.'” Tennessee bill to abolish abortion died in committee A bill before the Tennessee State legislature that would have fully banned abortion was killed in the legislature's Health Subcommittee last week, reports the Nashville Banner. The bill would have criminalized abortion and given equal protection to the unborn under the law. However, the measure was actively opposed by both pro-abortion and pro-life groups, who argued the law was too strict. Bradley Pierce, president of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, stated, “I don't think it's merciful to tell women that they're allowed to murder their children. To those who say that having a blanket exemption for women is merciful, do you apply that to any other area of law?” Similar bills have been introduced, both in Democratic and Republican states, and thus far, none have passed. Proverbs 24:11 admonishes us to “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.” Christian apologist shares Christ on popular podcast Apologist Wes Huff clearly explained the Gospel of Jesus Christ to entrepreneur Steven Bartlett on Bartlett's “Diary of a CEO” podcast — among the top podcasts in the world. In fact, 3 million people listen per episode. BARTLETT: “If I sin in my life, do I go to hell?” HUFF: “Here's the thing: everybody is going to hell. Everybody. The Bible is very clear. All good people go to Heaven, but Jesus said, ‘No one is good but God alone.' So, if all good people go to Heaven, and no one is good but God alone, only God is in Heaven.” BARTLETT: “Mmm.” HUFF: “So, Christianity says you're not going to be able to do, feel or think good enough. Compared to God, you're always going to fall short. Be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect, is what Scripture says. That's an impossible standard. “The message of the Bible, the reason why it's called the Gospel, the Good News, is because of the bad news. The bad news is you're dead in your sins and trespasses and you can't save yourself. Jesus, as the second Person of the Trinity, steps off of His throne in eternity, comes into humanity, and He pays the penalty of the sin that you deserve.” Romans 3:23 gives us the bad news. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” And Romans 5:8 gives us the Good News. "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Oscars awarded to foul-mouthed, immoral R-rated movies And finally, the 98th Academy Award ceremonies awarded more R-rated movies with top prizes again this year. One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, took the Best Picture award — a film celebrating revolution, killing ICE agents, and murdering pro-life legislators. It played with moral ambiguity and satire, while encouraging revolutionary activity in society. Sadly, the film, which features the most obscene word 135 times and the Lord's name used in vain 20 times, garnered six Oscars. Another R-rated movie, Sinners, collected four more Oscars. The film glorified demonism, African animism, murderers, adulterers, and hoodoo witches, while condemning Christianity for its alleged legalism and white oppression. Sinners features the Lord's name taken in vain 11 times. I John 2:15-17 says, “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father, but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, March 17th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Today is day 76 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the twelfth line: “He will come again to judge the living and the dead” and studying question 76. 76. What does the Creed mean when it says, “He will come again”? Jesus promised that he would return (Luke 21:27–28). His coming in victory with great glory and power will be seen by all people and will bring this age to an end. The present world order will pass away, and God will usher in a fully renewed creation to stand forever. All the saints will be together with God at that time. (Proverbs 30:4; Daniel 7:13–14; Luke 21:27–28; Acts 1:10–11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18; 2 Peter 3:3–13; Revelation 21:1–4) We will conclude today with the Collect for the First Sunday of Advent found on page 598 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Proverbs 13:15Defiance affects everyone, no matter your age. And it traps you in your selfishness, stubbornness, indifference, resistance, and contempt. Why not get rid defiance and live according to God's Word. “Good understanding produces favor, but the way of the treacherous is hard,” (Proverbs 13:15 NASB).

To honor the season of Lent on the Church calendar, Raising Godly Girls Podcast hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose open a conversation about what this season means and why there is a growing movement of Christian families seeking to embrace a more liturgical way of living. Whether listeners things of liturgy or traditions in their own Christian circles, this podcast episode keeps an open mind on the many ways that Christ-followers will choose to observe the Lenten season. From almsgiving—giving to the poor—to fasting, worship, Scripture reading, and prayer, hosts Rachael and Natalie encourage parents to either embrace their chosen tradition or to learn a new way with an open heart and childlike faith. With joy Natalie recalls her surprise that her older kids came to love their faith traditions during Lent over the years and now anticipate the season as it arrives on their family calendar. Rachael gives a wise reminder to listeners about the importance of knowing the 'why behind the what'—understanding how each tradition is designed to connect our hearts directly back to God rather than relishing in the tradition itself or getting prideful in our ability to practice the tradition perfectly. When it comes to leading kids through a liturgical way of living, Rachael encourages families to welcome in the wonder and delight of childhood to foster a sense of joy and anticipation in our girls. She also advises families to start her practices incrementally giving space for new habit formation and grace in the process. Natalie lands the conversation with the joy of ecumenical unity—meaning we're all working together as Christians—and choosing to honor one another in their chosen way of observing this season in the Christian calendar. Two Things to Consider: Let wonder, surprise, & delight guide you. Even one new tradition practiced over many years will develop a special place in your child's soul memory bank.

AI is not the problem. The real question is what it may be replacing in your business and your life. As business owners, many of us use AI, automation, and tools to save time and simplify work. The tools themselves are not the issue. The issue is discernment. Technology can support your work, or it can slowly replace the very things that keep you grounded and led by God. In this episode, we talk about how to use AI wisely without allowing convenience to turn into dependence. You will learn how to keep God's voice and direction at the center of your business while still using modern tools to support your work. When your business is truly God-led, no tool can replace prayer, discernment, and obedience. I pray this blesses you! Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?

“Lord, Keep Us Steadfast in Thy Word” by Kirk Meyer The post 75. The Book of Proverbs, Part 47 (Proverbs 14:27-35) – Pr. Will Weedon, 3/16/26 appeared first on The Word of the Lord Endures Forever.
Our Founding Pastor, Willie George, continues week eleven of our teaching series, Breakthrough. The Holy Spirit was given as our Helper, our divine guarantee, that God has placed within us. Through Him, we step into a life marked by wisdom, love, and supernatural might to do what God has called us to do. As we walk in the love of God, the power of God can freely work in and through us. In this message, Pastor Willie explores the following Scriptures: John 14:16 KJV 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 NKJV 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. 2 Timothy 1:6-7 KJV 6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Ephesians 1:15-17 KJV 15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him... Proverbs 4:7 KJV 7 Wisdom is the principal thing... Isaiah 37:3 ESV 3 "...children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to bring them forth." Ephesians 3:14-16 KJV 14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; Judges 13:25 NIV 25 and the Spirit of the Lord began to stir him while he was in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol. Ephesians 3:16-19 KJV 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Matthew 9:35-36 KJV 35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching... preaching..., and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. – Next Steps Looking to take a next step?
