In this episode of How to Study the Bible, we dive into week two of the "Take Action" series, focusing on Matthew 6. The Importance of Having the Right Motives When Giving, Praying, and Fasting In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus emphasizes the significance of having the right motives when engaging in spiritual practices such as giving, praying, and fasting. This teaching is crucial for understanding how to live as citizens of the Kingdom of God, as it highlights the difference between outward actions and the inner motivations that drive those actions. 1. Understanding the "When" Statements Jesus introduces three key "when" statements in Matthew chapter six: "when you give," "when you pray," and "when you fast." These statements assume that these practices will be integral to a believer's life. However, Jesus is not merely concerned with the actions themselves; He is deeply interested in the motivations behind them. Giving: Jesus warns against giving to be seen by others, stating that those who do so have already received their reward. Instead, He encourages giving in secret, where the focus is on pleasing God rather than seeking human approval. Praying: Similarly, Jesus instructs His followers to avoid public displays of prayer intended for recognition. Instead, He advocates for private prayer, emphasizing that God sees what is done in secret and will reward those who seek Him sincerely. Fasting: When it comes to fasting, Jesus again points out the danger of performing this act for the sake of appearance. He encourages His followers to fast in a way that is not obvious to others, reinforcing the idea that fasting should be about drawing closer to God rather than seeking the admiration of people. 2. The Wrong Motives Throughout this teaching, it is clear that Jesus identifies specific wrong motives associated with these practices. The desire for recognition, honor, or validation from others can lead to a focus on self rather than on God. This self-centered approach ultimately undermines the true purpose of these spiritual disciplines. Recognition: If the motivation for giving, praying, or fasting is to be seen as generous, pious, or disciplined, then the individual has already received their reward in the form of human applause. This is a temporary and superficial reward that lacks eternal significance. Self-Righteousness: Engaging in these practices to appear holy or superior to others can lead to a false sense of righteousness. Jesus challenges this mindset by calling for authenticity and sincerity in one's relationship with God. 3. The Right Motives In contrast, Jesus invites His followers to engage in these practices with the right motives—those that seek to honor God and align with His will. The emphasis is on the heart's intention rather than the outward display of spirituality. Seeking God's Approval: The true reward comes from God, who sees the heart and recognizes genuine acts of faith. When believers give, pray, or fast with the intention of drawing closer to God and serving others, they align themselves with the values of the Kingdom. Impact of Secret Acts: This teaching highlights the power of secret acts of devotion. Many struggle to believe that private prayers or hidden acts of kindness can have a significant impact. However, Jesus reassures His followers that these actions are powerful in God's eyes and contribute to a deeper relationship with Him. 4. The Conditional "If" Statement The teaching also discusses the conditional "if" statement found in verse 14 regarding forgiveness. Jesus states, "if you forgive," indicating that forgiveness is a choice that believers must actively make. This choice reflects the heart's posture and willingness to extend grace, which is essential for receiving God's forgiveness in return. 5. The Do-Nots Finally, Jesus provides two "do-nots" that further emphasize the importance of motives: Do Not Store Up Treasures on Earth: This warning serves as a reminder that material possessions should not take precedence over spiritual wealth. The focus should be on generosity and the eternal impact of one's actions. Do Not Worry: Jesus encourages His followers to trust in God's provision rather than being consumed by anxiety about their needs. This trust is rooted in the understanding that God cares for His creation and will provide for those who seek Him first. Want to send Nicole a question for a future Listener Questions episode?

Today's episode is a reair from 2021, however, the message is timely. Let us review that we might be assured that we are prepared to move forward…into Kingdom authority. Where to dive in: (0:00:10) - Kingdom Chronicles in Review (19 Minutes) This chapter of Kingdom Chronicles reflects on a re-aired episode titled "Kingdom in Review," highlighting the enduring sovereignty of Jesus and the importance of aligning ourselves with God's kingdom in a time of global uncertainty. I share insights on the necessity for believers to embody God's authority on earth, stressing that we are often the answer to the world's questions. We explore the significance of the upcoming Hebrew year 5782, marking the time since God gave His laws to Moses. Through prayer and reflection, I encourage a return to fidelity with God and a renewed focus on unity and love within the body of Christ. This is a call for a spiritual revival and reconciliation, urging us to embrace our roles as sons, citizens, and servants of God's kingdom. (0:19:16) - Living as a Kingdom Disciple (12 Minutes) This chapter explores the fundamental concept of representing the Kingdom of God in various spheres of life, whether it be in science, government, business, or ministry. We emphasize the importance of understanding God's sovereignty and how the Holy Spirit's conviction should guide our actions beyond cultural or democratic influences. The conversation highlights that God's principles do not change with shifting cultures and underscores the necessity of aligning our lives with the righteousness and holiness that God demands. We also discuss the role of kingdom authority, where believers are empowered to speak and see their declarations manifest, drawing parallels with biblical figures like Elijah and Moses. As representatives of God's kingdom, we are called to make challenging decisions, prioritizing divine truth over societal norms, and to embody the character and integrity of God in our daily lives. (0:31:35) - Seeking God's Guidance in Kingdom Discipleship (18 Minutes) This chapter addresses the spiritual practice of seeking guidance directly from God rather than solely relying on external sources such as books or social media for answers. Referencing scripture from Matthew, Mark, and Luke, I discuss Jesus' teachings on discipleship and the importance of prioritizing divine wisdom. I emphasize the need for believers to consult the Holy Spirit and seek God's kingdom first, rather than becoming dependent on the interpretations and experiences of others. The chapter underscores the idea that while other resources can provide valuable insights, the primary source of guidance should always be the relationship with God and His Holy Spirit.

"There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to vbelieve, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors."--C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters, 15.

Hello,Kindly listen to the teaching titled SEEKING GOD'S PRESENCE (Jeremiah 29:10-14) by Rev. Richard Musinguzi during the Morning Devotion of Wednesday, 7th May 2025

In this insightful episode of "Father and Joe," Father Boniface and Joe Rockey delve into a provocative analogy that explores how we integrate the presence of Jesus into our daily life, particularly in the context of modern distractions and the need for full presence in our tasks. Joe shares a relatable story about working from home in a Zoom-driven economy while being mindful of his three-year-old son in the room. This situation becomes a metaphor for many of us who struggle to maintain our focus on our responsibilities while simultaneously trying to keep Jesus in our lives.Father Boniface enriches the discussion by drawing parallels to Saint Joseph working in his carpentry shop with young Jesus at his side, highlighting the notion of being mindful of Jesus as a constant, supportive presence rather than a distant observer judging our actions. This episode invites listeners to re-envision their relationship with Jesus as one of mutual support and love, rather than one of distraction or obligation.The episode further challenges the audience to consider what it truly means to have Jesus "in the room" with them during every aspect of their lives. Father Boniface and Joe discuss practical ways to become more aware of Jesus's presence, transforming our view of Him from a potential distraction into a guiding and supporting presence. They also address the inner conflict many face when trying to balance prayer and spirituality with the pressing demands of everyday life, providing practical advice on how to harmonize these elements.Listeners are encouraged to engage in the practice of calling Jesus to mind periodically through their day, envisioning His supportive and loving presence in both mundane and significant moments. This habitual presence aligns with the spirit of Brother Lawrence's classic work "Practicing the Presence of God."The episode closes with reflections on how integrating Jesus into our daily decision-making process not only nurtures our spiritual growth but can enhance our relationships and professional responsibilities. Through a continuous process of adjustment and reflection, we are invited to align our actions more closely with the divine will, fostering more profound love and joy in our lives. Father Boniface and Joe remind us that as we grow in our relationship with Jesus, we begin to embody His teachings more naturally, finding His influence in the subtleties of everyday life.Tags:faith, spirituality, presence of God, Jesus, daily life, Christian life, spiritual growth, St. Joseph, carpentry, mindful living, distractions, Zoom economy, awareness, prayer life, relationship with God, spiritual direction, Brother Lawrence, spiritual transformation, practicing presence, divine support, religious practices, modern spirituality, religious teachings, personal growth, parental analogy, spiritual awareness, faith journey, living with God, spiritual advice, Christian teachings, mindful spirituality, divine will, overcoming distractions, religious reflections, growing in faith, aligning with God, divine guidance, spiritual practices, church habits, reconnecting with faith.Hashtags:#Faith, #SpiritualGrowth, #PresenceOfGod, #MindfulLiving, #DailyDevotion, #JesusInYourLife, #StJoseph, #ZoomLife, #Carpentry, #DistractedLife, #ReligiousPractice, #FaithJourney, #ChristianLife, #GatheringWithGod, #PrayerLife, #SpiritualDirection, #BrotherLawrence, #TransformativeFaith, #SpiritualAwareness, #SeekingGod, #PerceptionOfGod, #AlignWithDivine, #FaithInModernTimes, #ReligionAndWork, #FaithJourney, #SpiritualAdvice, #ChristianTeachings, #FaithPrayers, #MindfulSpirituality, #SpiritualGuidance, #GodInEveryday, #ReligiousTeachings, #SpiritualPractices, #ChristianFaith, #ReconnectingWithFaith, #LivingInGodsPresence, #PrayingWithPurpose, #FaithAndFamily,

Kenneth Yoder - Confessing National Sins and Seeking God's Forgiveness

Why sometimes do we seek after God, but it feels like He is not there. Our souls can feel empty or missing being filled. Rob, shares 3 reasons why I might be missing the intimacy of God in our life.

What happens when you lock the door, put away the textbooks, and simply ask God to reveal His secrets? For George Washington Carver—whose discoveries revolutionized American agriculture—this seemingly simple approach produced hundreds of innovations that scientists with sophisticated laboratories couldn't match.This episode explores Carver's extraordinary spiritual journey and scientific legacy alongside Jesus's teachings in Matthew 6 about seeking God in secret. Though offered enormous salaries by Thomas Edison and others, Carver refused, choosing instead to continue his divinely-inspired work at Tuskegee Institute. When asked by a Senate committee how he made his discoveries, he famously replied that while the Bible didn't mention peanuts, "it tells about the God who made the peanut. And I asked Him to show me what to do with the peanut, and He did."But this powerful testimony challenges our modern priorities. How many of us make time for Netflix, social media, and entertainment while struggling to carve out moments for prayer or Scripture? Like a nation that wants God's blessings while keeping Him at arm's length, we've become spiritual fair-weather friends—seeking divine intervention when needed but embarrassed to acknowledge Him publicly.Through Carver's remarkable example and Christ's timeless teachings, we're confronted with a profound question: What might happen in our lives, families, and nation if we truly followed Proverbs 3:5-6—"In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths"? The answer might just transform everything.Want to experience more spiritual insights that bridge faith and American identity?

What's the thing in your life that's quietly killing your joy, peace, or purpose—something you need to lay down? Maybe it's a job, your status, or even pride. How can we build real, honest relationships with others if we're not even sure who we truly are? Are you praying just to get through the situation, or are you asking God what He wants to teach you in it? And when it comes to your purpose—are you willing to take the next step, even if it feels scary?FRLS x AWKN Worship Night

Are we seeking God's hand (what He can do) more than His heart (who He is)?

"We are constantly under pressure to conform to the self-centredness of secular culture. When that happens we become concerned about our own little name . . . about our own little empire . . . and about our own silly little will . . . But in the Christian counter-culture our top priority concern is not our name kingdom and will, but God's. Whetyher we can pray these petitions with integrity is a searching test of the reality and depth of our Christian profession."-John R.W. Stott, The Message of the Sermon on the Mount, 147-148.

Today's Promise: Jeremiah 29:13 God doesn't hide from you. He isn't avoiding you. He desires you to find Him. Seeking God always results in finding Him. No matter where you are in your walk with God, there is more to be discovered. There is a condition to this promise. You have to seek the Lord with all your heart. Half-hearted or part-time seeking won't bring you much success. When seeking after God's heart becomes your priority, you will find Him. When you find Him, you find everything you need.

Are you rolling a problem over in your mind looking for a solution? James 1:5 reminds us instead of thinking so hard, we can take our unsolved problems to God. James 1:5 (NIV)If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. https://livesteadyon.com/https://www.logos.com/https://enduringword.com/https://www.wordhippo.com/https://www.biblegateway.com/https://www.blueletterbible.org/ Robert Jamieson, A.
