Character matters. Your integrity matters. Living by biblical values matters. Our integrity will be tested. It will be tried. But if you remain resilient and determined, you can honor God and yourself by refusing to compromise your values.Main Points:1. Integrity is the personal choice to hold yourself consistent with your beliefs and moral principles. It is who you are when no one else is looking. In our culture of shifting values, your integrity will come under attack. It is important to pre-determine your values before you face the temptation to compromise.2. The test of your integrity never starts with the big decisions. It always starts with the small ones. It's tempting to think that small decisions don't matter. They seem insignificant. We'll tell ourselves, โno one knows, and it won't hurt anyone.โ Yet, small decisions matter because they never stay small. A small acorn eventually becomes a mighty oak tree.3. It's always easier to resist the winds of change if your roots run deep in God's truth. God wants to use your life to make a difference, but to do so, you must start with integrityToday's Scripture Verses:Luke 16:10 - โOne who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.โProverbs 4:23 - โAbove all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.โQuick 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

Feeling powerless amid upheaval or uncertainty? Jennifer Slattery reflects on Daniel 1:6-9, showing how God remained with Daniel during exile and worked through him to influence a nation. This devotional reminds believers that even in times of political, social, or personal turmoil, God is sovereign, present, and always working for the good of His children. Highlights Danielโs faithfulness in exile demonstrates Godโs ability to protect, elevate, and use His people, even in foreign or difficult circumstances. Godโs favor can work through unlikely individualsโincluding secular leadersโfor His purposes. Biblical truth affirms Godโs control over earthly powers (Proverbs 21:1). Darknessโwhether personal, societal, or globalโcannot overcome Godโs light (John 1:5). Anticipating Godโs work in our lives fosters hope and resilience, even amid chaos and hardship.

โLord, Keep Us Steadfast in Thy Wordโ by Kirk Meyer The post 282. The Book of Proverbs, Part 21 (Proverbs 7:1-10) โ Pr. Will Weedon, 10/9/25 appeared first on The Word of the Lord Endures Forever.
JEREMIAH 12:1-14:10 | 1 THESSALONIANS 1:1-2:8 | PSALM 79:1-13 | PROVERBS 24:30-34
Hosea 3-5; Proverbs 17:21-25; Philippians 4:2-23
Trust today that your steps are being established by the Lord. When it's time to take the next step, God will make it clear. As you wait, believe that even though the waiting may not make sense, God's will is being performed in your life. His will, His plan, and His timing are perfect.Main Points:1. God is never early, never late, but he's always on time. Our timing isn't God's timing. For us, God's timing often feels like a long, desperate delay.2. I'm struck by how many verses there are in the Bible that talk about waiting on God. One Bible scholar has found that the word โwaitโ is in the Bible 154 times. That is a lot of waiting. I don't know about you, but I don't particularly enjoy waiting. Yet, if God makes us wait, there is a reason. There is something to be learned in the waiting, and I don't want to miss the lesson.3. The Holy Spirit is alive and active in the life of the believer. One of his purposes is to bring guidance and direction to our lives. He is faithful to lead us to God's plan, but He can also be trusted to guide us to God's timing.Today's Scripture Verses:Psalm 31:15 -ย "My times are in Your hands ..."Ecclesiastes 3:11 - "He has made everything beautiful in its time.โProverbs 16:9ย - โIn their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.โย 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

In this episode of Beyond I Do, Adam and Ashlee sit down with Sammy and Chandler to tackle one of the most important topics in marriageโhow to handle conflict in a healthy, God-honoring way.

The group also discusses how tools like StrengthsFinder can help us better understand both our own tendencies and our spouse's, aligning beautifully with Proverbs 20:5: โThe purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.โThis honest, practical, and often humorous discussion will inspire you to approach conflict not as a battlefieldโbut as an opportunity for growth, grace, and deeper intimacy.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

Do you ever feel like you're carrying years of disappointment, shame, or questions about whether God hears you? Maybe you've prayed for healing, longed for comfort, or simply wondered if you're worth His attention. In this episode, Erin Rae Peace joins us to unpack the story of the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5 โ the only place in Scripture where Jesus publicly calls a woman โdaughter.โ Together, we'll explore what this tender encounter reveals about how deeply Jesus values women, the hope He offers when shame feels louder than the Truth, and why His embrace is closer than we think.You'll learn:The difference between hiding in fear and being lovingly pursued by God.How to replace assumptions about God's disappointment with confidence in His love for you.What it means to be seen, known, and embraced by Jesus.Why faith, even when fragile, can open the door to healing and freedom.Partner With Us:ย When life feels overwhelming, especially when you're trying to provide for yourself or your family, it can seem like you're in it alone โฆ But it doesn't have to be.

Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit, where you can listen to a daily chapter of Proverbs in about five minutes. The seventh chapter of Proverbs is a hard one. If you've developed the habit of reading or listening to a daily Proverb, you already know what's coming: the chapter about "the strange woman." The word "strange" in this context refers to a prostitute or a harlot. It also carries the meaning "to commit adultery." The "strange woman" is immoral and enticing. This chapter should be read slowly, and yet it may be painful reading. Have you ever wondered how the "strange woman" ended up on that path of humiliation and destruction? And what about the man who accepted the invitation? They were both selfish. Taking advantage of people to satisfy the flesh never ends well. Here's how chapter seven closes: "For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death." (Proverbs 7:26-27) That's not a happy ending, it's a dark warning. VISIT THE SHOP AT KEEP THE HEART FOR BOOKS, BIBLE STUDIES & MORE!
