A mirror can show you what is wrong, but imagine having no way to wash or clean what you see. That is how many people approach the Bible: They recognize their sin and failure, feel powerless to change, and eventually close the Book in discouragement. But Scripture is more than a mirror. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to the Bible's cleansing power. Ephesians describes Christ sanctifying His church through “the washing with water through the word,” while Peter reminds believers that obedience to the Truth purifies the soul. We cannot transform ourselves through willpower. But when we receive God's Word, believe it, and obey it, the Holy Spirit works through that Truth to change our hearts. Resentment can give way to love. Sinful attitudes can be replaced with Christlike ones. The grime of sin does not have to remain. So when Scripture reveals something in your life that needs to change, do not turn away in defeat. Let the water of God's Word wash over you. Submit to its Truth, obey what God reveals, and trust the Holy Spirit to continue His cleansing, transforming work in your soul. Prayer: God, thank You for the good news that I can change—that I won't always struggle with sin. I know You have defeated sin at the cross and have empowered me to obey You. What grace and mercy that You are bringing me from one point of glory to the next. Thank you! I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart” (1 Peter 1:22). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Hebrews 7:23–28 contrasts the Aaronic priests with Jesus Christ. The former priests were many because death prevented them from continuing in their ministry. Their priesthood was temporary, and each priest eventually had to be replaced.Christ is different. He remains forever and holds an unchangeable priesthood. He always lives to intercede for those who draw near to God through Him.The Aaronic priests were also sinful men. Before they could minister on behalf of the people, they had to offer sacrifice for themselves. But Jesus is holy, innocent, undefiled, and separate from sinners. He needed no offering for Himself; He offered Himself once as the perfect sacrifice.The law appointed weak men as priests, but God's oath appoints the Son, perfected forever. In Christ, we have the sinless High Priest who lives forever.Read the full lesson on Let's Talk Scripture: Let's Talk ScriptureAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Do strippers tithe, and can you tithe on gambling earnings? Is everything that Christians think is evil actually evil? How do we grow that discernment muscle? All that and more in this week's new episode!
In the midst of confusion and division, Jesus lays a bombshell...the Holy Spirit is coming and He will have a powerful ministry after the ascension! Confusion, Division, and a Bombshell Todd Jaussen Download Sermons Archive RSS Luke 12:51-52 Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Luke 12:53 Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” “Such thirst as this, unhappily, is known by few. All ought to feel it, and all would feel it if they were wise. Sinful, mortal, dying creatures as we all are, with souls that will one day be judged and spend eternity in heaven or hell, there lives not the man or woman on earth who ought not to “thirst” after salvation. And yet the many thirst after everything almost except salvation. Money, pleasure, honor, rank, self-indulgence—these are the things which they desire. There is no clearer proof of the fall of man, and the utter corruption of human nature, than the careless indifference of most people about their souls. No wonder the Bible calls the natural man “blind,” and “asleep,” and “dead,” when so few can be found who are awake, alive, and athirst about salvation.” — J.C. Ryle Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.Isaiah 44:3 For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, And floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring;Isaiah 58:11 The LORD will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.Isaiah 55:1 “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.Isaiah 12:3 Therefore with joy you will draw water From the wells of salvation.Joel 2:28-29 “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.Zechariah 14:8-9 And in that day it shall be That living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea And half of them toward the western sea; In both summer and winter it shall occur. And in that day it shall be That living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea And half of them toward the western sea; In both summer and winter it shall occur.Revelation 22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.Revelation 7:17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.Ephesians 1:13-14 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.John 14:16-17 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.Acts 2:33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.Ephesians 5:18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,Revelation 20:13-15 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Sermon Discussion Questions:Why does Jesus bring division, and why did He warn us of this? What does Jesus mean that He will quench our thirst through the Holy Spirit? How is all of this tied to His ascension, and glorification at the right hand of the Father? What should you look for in yourself as proof that all of this has come to you?
When God's word feeds faith's appetite for God, it weans our hearts away from the deceptive taste of lust.
How could Jesus be fully God and fully man while living among sinful people? It's one of Christianity's most important doctrines—and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Dr. E answers a listener's question about the incarnation and explains why Jesus' divine and human nature was essential for our salvation. Drawing from passages like 2 Corinthians 5, 1 Peter 2–3, Colossians 2, Galatians 4, and John 1, Dr. Easley shows that Christ's perfect humanity, complete deity, and sinless life uniquely qualified Him to redeem sinful humanity. Along the way, he discusses why Jesus could interact with sinners without becoming defiled, why theology matters in everyday Christian life, and practical resources for studying biblical doctrine more deeply. If you've ever struggled to explain who Jesus is—or why the incarnation matters—this episode provides a clear, biblical foundation. Key Topics Covered -Why Jesus had to be fully God and fully man -How Christ lived among sinners without sin -The purpose of the incarnation -What happened on the cross -Why Jesus' righteousness matters for our salvation -Biblical passages that explain Christ's two natures -Recommended resources for studying theology Chapters 0:00 How could Jesus be fully God and fully man? 1:15 Why understanding theology matters 2:00 Christ bore our sin without becoming sinful 3:15 Why Jesus had to become human 4:20 John Stott's powerful explanation of the incarnation 5:25 Jesus touched sinners without being defiled 6:20 What happened spiritually at the cross 8:20 Recommended passages to study 9:45 Helpful theology resources for deeper study Links Mentioned: Logos Bible Software Bible.org The Moody Handbook of Theology by Dr. Pauls Enns Find more episodes of Ask Dr. E here.

In 1 Corinthians 2:6-16, we see the absolute necessity of the work of the Spirit of God to open our understanding to the truth of Christ. Sinful humanity on our own will not come to know God apart from the sovereign grace of God through Christ. His Spirit gives us understanding that we might know the Lord and live for His glory. May these truths both humble us and encourage us in Him!
Episode Synopsis:Paul is eager to come to Rome to preach the gospel. These words have long been familiar to Christians, and we understand Paul's sentiment. Yet, in Paul's day, preaching the gospel was an absolutely scandalous message. The gospel is centered on the cross of Jesus Christ. For us, a cross is a well-known Christian symbol. But for those in Paul's day, the cross was a sign of shame and denigration. It was something people abhorred and would not speak about. The noted Roman statesman and orator Cicero spoke of the cross as so horrible that Roman citizens should never be subject to such a thing, and should never even entertain the thought of such a horrible manner of death, much less speak of it. So why would Paul be eager to preach such a message if it was likely to repulse and offend people, rather than draw or attract them?Paul knows that this gospel—centered in the cross of Jesus Christ—is the power of God for the salvation of all who believe. God uses this scandalous message to call his people unto himself, create faith, and grant them eternal life. As Paul tells the Romans, the gospel was first preached to Jews in the types and shadows of the Old Testament, and then through recounting the events associated with the messianic mission of Jesus Christ, which culminated in his suffering and death upon a Roman cross. When the crucified Jesus was raised from the dead three days after his crucifixion, God demonstrated his power—which is of a different kind and far greater than all the military might of Rome. Jesus is truly Lord—not Caesar nor any of the Roman gods. So, when Paul says he desires to come to Rome to preach this message, he is trusting the power of God to do what is impossible for sinful humans: to be given new life, the forgiveness of sins, and to be counted as righteous before God.Paul is also eager to preach the gospel because in it the righteousness of God is revealed. Sinful men and women can be reckoned or credited as righteous by trusting in the crucified and risen Savior proclaimed by Paul. No amount of sorrow or tears, no enlightened teacher or guru, and no amount of good works can grant this righteous status to sinful people. The only proper response to Paul's gospel is the empty hands of faith—the reception of this free gift of a perfect and faultless righteousness that is found in the gospel. This is why Paul is eager to come to Rome and preach this scandalous message.For show notes and other recommended materials located at the Riddleblog as mentioned during the Blessed Hope Podcast, click here: https://www.kimriddlebarger.com/

Are believers still sinful by nature? At salvation, what changed? Why do we still sin? Doesn't God appear evil in the book of Job? I think James 2 is just talking about works after you're saved. Why do you say the passage is about being justified (saved) by responding to God with faith?

Dale reveals how Jewish Congressman Emanuel Celler and Zionist Senator Philip Hart (with Ted Kennedy's false promises) deliberately transformed a 89% white, European Christian nation into a multicultural powder keg, leading to the Great Replacement, collapsing birth rates, welfare parasitism, biological invasion, and the road to civil war—all while politicians swore “nothing would change.” Follow Dale at: https://x.com/dalepartridge https://instagram.com/relearnhq
