Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates answer a question about Eschatology and something Bob had mentioned earlier concerning a probable time gap between the Rapture and the beginning of the Tribulation Period. There is also a question today from someone who is struggling with sanctification. We welcome you and

How can we make Christ preeminent in our lives in the midst of heartbreaking circumstances? Listen in as our dear friend and coworker Becca M shares how God has met her in powerful ways throughout her (just 30-year-old) husband Chris's battle with cancer and then going to heaven in late August of 2022. This episode will not depress you; it will fill you with hope and faith that God will ALWAYS be 100% faithful and enough for you - no matter what happens in your life! Becca shares honestly about how God taught her to give His Word more weight than doctors' words. She shares about making God's Word her bread and sustenance, learning to take God's promises literally, and wrestling with the Lord when His promises don't seem to be coming to fruition. Becca shares that we can ask big, seemingly impossible things from God- full of faith and hope- without worrying about the possibility of being crushed with disappointment, b/c God is big enough and loving enough to take care of our disappointment for us too. (This was one of the biggest lessons Becca taught me, that I really want to grow in!)Becca encourages the listener- no matter how big or how small your current situation is - God WANTS to meet you in it. He loves you so, so much and always gives more of His Presence when we come to Him humbly. Yes, you will probably cry during this episode. But it is chock-full of Scriptural truth that will fortify your soul. Connect With Us:The Coworkers Podcast websiteEmail: coworkersstudy@gmail.com

Leslie continues her Christ-Centered Mentoring series with this poignant episode on handling criticism and personal attack in a Biblical and Christ-honoring way. One we begin to influence others towards truth, personal attack from others often goes with the territory. Unless we have a Biblical perspective on these attacks, the enemy can often use them to distract us or discourage us from our calling. In this message, Leslie dives deep into Scriptural truths that can prove invaluable in helping us triumph through personal attack and allowing it to strengthen both our spiritual lives and our ministry to others.To learn more about the Set Apart Magazine and Leslie's online mentoring program, visit www.setapartgirl.com.

In Romans 14, Paul is writing to a church that was splitting into factions over Scriptural issues. Although he has a clear stance on which side is right, his emphasis is to help the church navigate the differences in a Christ-like way.

Today is part three of a series on prayer. The purpose of this series is to understand that prayer is simply talking to our heavenly Father. The Scriptural focus of our study will be Matthew 6:5-15 where Jesus provided prayer instruction for believers. This prayer is intended to be a model for believers to follow, not simply a prayer to be recited. Today, our focus is on Matthew 6:11-12. Give us this day our daily bread… Daily Dependence---------DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOOREGet Ron's Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.LIVING GROUNDEDLearn more about how you can grow deeper and embrace the foundational truths of the Christian faith with Living Grounded.

Psalms 37; Psalm 73Present prosperity doesn't guarantee continued prosperityJust because judgement doesn't seem to be imminent, it will comeActually more loss than gain.When we attend worship services in the house of God…1-We are reminded of things that are REALLY important2-we experience genuine satisfaction.  Genuine satisfaction comes only from the LORD!Proverbs 24:1   Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. 2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.Psalms 37:1   Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.Psalms 37:7   Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. 14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. 15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. 16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. 18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.Psalms 37:21   The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. 22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. 27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. 28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. 30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. 32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. 33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.Psalms 37:34   Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. 35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. 36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. 37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.Psalms 73:1   Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. 2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. 3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. 5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. 6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. 7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. 8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. 9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. 10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. 11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? 12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. 13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. 14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.Psalms 73:15   If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. 16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; 17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. 18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. 19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. 20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.Psalms 73:21   Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. 23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.— — —Watch/Listen here using our Subsplash WebShare Playerhttps://subspla.sh/b647fzrListen here on Archive.orghttps://archive.org/download/011823-wed-facebook-stream/011823Wed-FacebookStream.mp3

One Michigan city council just approved a Muslim majority population's right to a religious animal sacrifice. We also know the Jews will resume animal sacrifices in the near future. Are sacrifices scriptural and should Christians participate? We'll discuss it on this edition of The Endtime Show!

We have begun our Scriptural journey in the study of Fear as a strong and powerful motivator.  As was introduced last week, fear of man, suffering, death, and any other fear you may face in this life can drive you away from loving and serving the LORD.  We must learn how to courageously move forward… Read more

Our afflictions are light compared in light of eternity. It's all perspective!2Cor. 4:1  Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.2Cor. 4:8   We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.— — —Watch/Listen here using our Subsplash WebShare Playerhttps://subspla.sh/4tsscjbListen here on archive.orghttps://archive.org/download/011523-am-facebook-stream/011523AM-FacebookStream.mp3

Universities, schools, and centers of faith are giving up on knowledge and selling out. What happened this past week at Hamline University indicates a trend in which an agenda other than the mission to impart knowledge controls what is permissible in the classroom. Knowledge is not a popularity contest. A teacher does not share information to offend or pacify feelings. A teacher imparts whatever they learn; they share whatever they discover and pass it on--be it historical, natural, or, if it concerns faith, Scriptural. Whatever they have uncovered remains, no matter what the students say, feel, or believe. That is why it does not matter when a disciple turns away from instruction. Like a 14th-century painting, the knowledge in question was there before them and will remain long after they return to the dust from which they were taken.  The Gentiles who seek to grow their universities have betrayed a sacred trust. In the Book of Acts, the second half of the Lukan diptych, the evangelist does not allow us to speak about growing the church. Instead, he forces us to surrender to St. Paul's gospel, hoping, against hope, that the word of the Lord, not the community, will grow and prevail mightily. (Acts 19:20) So long as our universities need students--or our churches need parishioners--there is no hope for growth in the knowledge of God, let alone basic instruction in art history. This week's episode is dedicated to the few and the proud--the teachers committed to teaching in the service of knowledge, not personal gain. Beginning with Professor Prater, you know who you are. May God lift you up and embolden you for the sake of the needy. Remember the words of the Lord's prophet. It's not you they hate. Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Luke 2:25-26. (Episode 464) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In Jesus' refusal to answer the question of His authority posed by the Jewish authorities, Jesus shows these authorities care more about the praise of men than pursuing Scriptural truth. Fr Aaron discussed how this can also be true of today's worldly authorities, including those within the Church. We concluded by recognizing St John the Forerunner as being despised by these authorities for the same reason as Jesus was despised: he was not bound by their earthly authority or allegiant to the religious establishment.

Questions Covered: 12:13 – The bible has passages where God is bargaining with Satan. How do I understand these passages? 16:44 – The teaching of purgatory bothers me. Where is it explicitly in the bible? 20:52 – I want to push back on who was left behind. Maybe the protestant conclusion is right. Were those who were left behind actually left behind to experience destruction? 24:01 – Mk. 10 says some will not taste death. Is that Jesus predicting his death in the 1st century and was he wrong? 38:04 – How do I respond to the claim that Mary had more children? 44:20 – How could one be baptized with fire and spirit? Could you elaborate? 46:50 – Have you asked protestants to protect their positions from the historical perspective? 52:03 – In Acts it was said that the gentiles should not eat meat of strangled animals. How does that tie to Jesus’ death on the cross? …

Scripture is clear that Jesus was present at the beginning of time and that He is God. Why is knowing and understanding this so vital to salvation? Is it possible to be saved and believe that Jesus was simply a good teacher or a divine being, but not fully God? Join us for session one as we examine the Scriptural case for both the deity and humanity of Christ.Verses Used:1 John 1:1-4John 8:51-59Exodus 3:14-15John 1:1-4. (Please note, this is NOT 1 John, but the Gospel of John)John 10:27-33John 20:17, 24-29Discussion Questions:1. Who is “The Word” as described in these verses and how do we know that from Scripture?2. What views exist or have you heard about who people say Jesus is?3. Why is it impossible for Jesus to simply have been a good teacher and nothing more?4. Where in Scripture, does the Bible say that Jesus is God?5. Why is it important to understand that Jesus was fully God and fully man? How is this doctrine a dividing line between those who are in fellowship with God (saved) and those who are not?

In this sermon, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches from Habakkuk 3:1-19 and shares how Habakkuk's response to a delayed and unanswered prayer turned into an opportunity to grow in his faith, trust, knowledge, and intimacy with God—and how it can do the same for you! This sermon offers a powerful reminder of the Scriptural reasons why prayers often seem to go unanswered—and how we can experience God's faithfulness in the midst of it all.

Today, we begin a series on prayer. The purpose of this series is to understand that prayer is simply talking to our heavenly Father. The Scriptural focus of our study will be Matthew 6:5-15, where Jesus provided prayer instruction for believers. This prayer is intended to be a model for believers to follow, not simply a prayer to be recited.  Prayer is simply having a conversation with God.  The motive of prayer is the issue of one's heart (Matt 6:5)Prayer is to be a personal conversation and not a way to impress others (Matt 6:6)Prayer is not measured by the length or power of words (Matt 6:7)God knows what we need. He desires to communicate with us (Matt 6:8) Prayer is communication with God that involves both speaking and listening. Part of effective prayer involves listening to God. 1 Samuel 3:10 is one example of how God initiates the conversation. 1 Samuel 3:10And the LORD came and stood, calling as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant hears.”When the infinite God wants us to understand how he acts, he describes himself to us in human terms [anthropomorphism—ascribing human characteristics to God.] He knows that's the only way we can understand who he is and how he acts.Notice that God “came” to Samuel. Religion is about man's attempts to get to God, but God is the One who always comes to us. The Father came to speak to Samuel. Jesus came to make the way to God. The Holy Spirit came to live within us. God comes to us today in our confusion, doubt, anger, hurt, or disappointment. God desires to have conversations with us.The “Lord came and stood.” God waited for Samuel, and so he waits for us. God so desires to have conversations with us.“Calling us at other times….” God is patient and persistent. God comes calling because he so desires to have conversations with us.“Samuel, Samuel.” God calls us by name. Isaiah 43:1But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. One of the best explanations of prayer comes from a 17th century Frenchmen named--Francois Fenelon (August 6, 1651 – January 7, 1715). Tell God all that is in your heart, as one unloads one's heart, its pleasures and its pains, to a dear friend. Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you; tell Him your joys, that He may sober them; tell Him your longings, the He may purify them; tell Him your dislikes, that He may help you conquer them, talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them; lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability. Tell Him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and others.If you pour out all your weaknesses, needs, and troubles there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed. People who have no secrets from each other never want for subjects of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back; neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of the heart, without consideration they say what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved, conversation with God. ---------DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOOREGet Ron's Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.LIVING GROUNDEDLearn more about how you can grow deeper and embrace the foundational truths of the Christian faith with Living Grounded.

It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”  Mark 1:9–11 (Gospel from Year B)The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord concludes for us the Christmas Season and transitions us into the beginning of Ordinary Time. From a Scriptural point of view, this event in Jesus' life is also a transitional moment from His hidden life in Nazareth to the beginning of His public ministry. As we commemorate this glorious event, it's important to ponder a simple question: Why was Jesus baptized? Recall that John's baptism was one of repentance, an act by which he invited his followers to turn from sin and to turn to God. But Jesus was sinless, so what was the reason for His Baptism?First of all, we see in the quoted passage above that Jesus' true identity was made manifest through His humble act of baptism. “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased,” spoke the voice of the Father in Heaven. Furthermore, we are told that the Spirit descended upon Him in the form of a dove. Thus, Jesus' baptism is in part a public declaration of Who He is. He is the Son of God, a divine Person Who is one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. This public testimony is an “epiphany,” a manifestation of His true identity for all to see as He prepares to begin His public ministry.Second, by His baptism, Jesus' incredible humility is made manifest. He is the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, but He allows Himself to become identified with sinners. By sharing in an act that was focused upon repentance, Jesus speaks volumes through His action of baptism. He came to unite Himself with us sinners, to enter our sin and to enter into our death. By entering the water, He symbolically enters into death itself, which is the result of our sin, and rises triumphantly, allowing us to also rise with Him to new life. For this reason, Jesus' baptism was a way of Him “baptizing” the waters, so to speak, so that water itself, from that moment onward, would be endowed with His divine presence and could be communicated to all who are baptized after Him. Therefore, sinful humanity is now able to meet divinity through baptism.Lastly, when we share in this new baptism, through water that has now been sanctified by our divine Lord, we see in Jesus' baptism a revelation of who we become in Him. Just as the Father spoke and declared Him as His Son, and just as the Holy Spirit descended upon Him, so also in our baptism we become the adopted children of the Father and are filled with the Holy Spirit. Thus, Jesus' baptism gives clarity as to whom we become in Christian baptism.Lord, I thank You for Your humble act of baptism by which You opened the Heavens to all who are sinners. May I open my heart to the unfathomable grace of my own baptism each and every day and more fully live with You as a child of the Father, filled with the Holy Spirit.  Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2023 My Catholic Life!

I want to give you some words of wisdom for the workplace. First words of wisdom: Talk to yourself in encouraging words, not negative ones. In Psalm 41 and 42 you will notice this phrase is often repeated: "Why are you downcast, O my soul?   Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.”   Evidently the writer was struggling with depression, with discouragement, with the blahs, just like you and I struggle from time to time. And he talked to himself as a way to speak the right words into his mind and turn around his wrong thinking. In verse 6 of Psalm 42, we read, "My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you...”   Now this is a very good technique and habit for all of us to learn. When you feel down, you should then force yourself to remember and recite out loud God's goodness to you in times past. Are you having a tough time today? Then, stop right now and talk to yourself; find some place where you can say something like, "Look, Mary, what is your problem? The God of all the Universe loves you and cares for you, he has met your need time and again.” I noticed in Psalm 42 and 43 that the writer also verbalized his doubts. "Why have you forgotten me. Why have you rejected me?” He voiced those doubts and questions out loud to God, but immediately he came back to the truth of praising God and hoping in God. When I find myself doubting and questioning God, I try to voice those to him out loud. "Lord, I feel as though you're not there. BUT I know better Lord. THEREFORE, I trust you, I place my hope in you. You are my Savior and my God." So, talk to yourself. I believe it's a Scriptural principle we need to incorporate into our lives to help us find victory in those everyday ups and downs of life.
