Sinful thoughts often begin quietly—an unchecked idea, a hidden fault, or a willful choice. Left unattended, they can grow into habits that enslave us. In Psalm 19:12-14, David prays for God’s forgiveness, protection, and guidance so that his heart and words might be pleasing in God’s sight. In today's prayer and devotional, Jessica Van Roekel reminds us that victory over sin isn’t about willpower alone. It comes from surrendering our hearts and minds to the Lord, allowing Him to be our Rock, Refuge, and Redeemer. God provides a way out of temptation, giving us strength to overcome sinful patterns and live in freedom. Main Takeaways Sin often begins as a thought and progresses if not surrendered to God. Like David, we can pray for forgiveness of hidden faults and strength against willful sins. God is our Rock and Redeemer, rescuing us from spiritual oppression and restoring us. The Holy Spirit always provides an escape from temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13). Living in victory requires dependence on God and aligning our words and thoughts with His will. Bible Verse References Psalm 19:12-14 – “But who can discern their own error? Forgive my hidden faults…” 1 Corinthians 10:13 – God provides a way out from temptation. Hebrews 4:13 – Nothing is hidden from God’s sight. Calls to Action (CTAs) Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer for daily devotionals rooted in Scripture.

When a land, a nation, a city, a church, is filled with sin, so as that God gives them warnings or indications of his displeasure by previous judgments, or other extraordinary signs, if they are not as warnings complied withal by repentance and reformation, they are tokens of approaching judgments, that shall not be avoided. This is the sacred truth which our Lord Jesus Christ doth here recommend to our observation.

An humble testimony unto the goodness and severity of God in his dealing with sinful churches and nations; or, the only way to deliver a sinful nation from utter ruin by impendent judgments: in a discourse on the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. - Letter to the Reader:

Tonight, we learn from David's mistake that we can be sincere in our will to obey God, and yet still be wrong in our method of doing so, if we don't go to God's Word first.

Elder Ernesto Gonzalez preaching from Psalm 36 on August 17th, 2025 at Oakhurst Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC

What do you get when you mix royal marriages, palace drama, and one very wicked queen? In this episode, we follow the unraveling of a godly legacy as we wrap up chapter 20 and head into 2 Chronicles 21–24. One sinful alliance sets off a chain of destruction, but even in the chaos God's promise to David stands firm. And through the quiet courage of two faithful people, the line of Christ is preserved.Themes of this podcast: Sinful alliances can derail Godly legacies. Jehoshaphat was a good king, but his alliance with Ahab opened the door for idolatry, violence, and spiritual decay in Judah. One unwise decision—marrying into a wicked family—allowed sin to unravel generations of godly influence.God preserves His promises, even through chaos. Despite betrayal, murder, and idolatry, God keeps His promises. His plans cannot be stopped even by the darkest evil.Ordinary faithfulness can change the course of history. Jehosheba and Jehoiada weren't kings or warriors—they were a stepdaughter and a priest. But their courage, faith, and obedience became the turning point in Judah's story. God uses faithful people in hidden places to do extraordinary things.Show notes: BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

Sermon: Genesis--God and His World Speaker: Raphael Mnkandhla Scripture: Genesis 4:25-6:8 Main Idea: Although sin continues to corrupt humanity and bring death, God's promise shines in the darkness.

Sunday, August 10, 2025 – We’re continuing our study of the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God, and today we’re speaking on the 14th truth – The Millennial Reign. If you ask many people in the church how much they know about this period, or if they believe the Bible says much about it, most would say they weren’t taught much about the millennium because they don’t think the Bible has much to say on the subject. However, the Bible reveals that over 27% of its content is prophetic, meaning that one in four verses discusses future prophetic events, including the 1,000-year reign of Christ. Why is it essential for us to understand this coming period? It helps us see what God’s plan is for the world in the future. Understanding this also highlights the importance of living as true believers in Christ and doing everything we can to share the gospel with others. We have a promised hope and destination to live for, knowing we will be rewarded as we stay faithful today. Please join us in worship and study as we explore what the 1000-year reign of Christ entails and our roles within it.

You're doing everything “right”… but life still feels tough. You're praying, fasting, and giving charity. Yet your duas feel unanswered. Money slips through your hands. People you trusted turn against you. Doors keep closing no matter how hard you try. You're left asking, “Why is this happening when I'm trying to obey Allah?” In this episode of the explanation of Ad-Daa' Wa Ad-Dawaa' by Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan exposes a terrifying reality: the sins you forgot may still be chasing you. Discover: - How past sins leave marks that resurface years later when you least expect it. - Why blessings are stripped away one by one, while you can't figure out why. - How dirty sins committed in private invite public humiliation and disgrace. - Why delayed punishments make people feel safe... until everything falls apart at once. Watch now. You might finally understand why certain problems never seem to go away.

The Rebbe encourages perseverance in the battle with the yetzer hara, emphasizing that Hashem gives every Jew the strength to overcome. He advises learning by heart select Mishnayos and Tanya, daily tzedakah before Shacharis, keeping the Chitas study schedule, and temporarily diverting the mind even from fixing the sin to ease the struggle. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/012/5650

Today I critique Lori Alexander The Transformed Wife, highlighting her legalistic teachings and their harmful effects on women in faith. I assert that Alexander propagates self-created, unilateral standards about women working outside the home that contradict biblical examples, lack grace, and puts burdens on women. I urge readers to reject Alexander's burdensome doctrines and instead seek supportive ministries that align with true biblical teachings.

Is it possible for our greatest Christian virtues to become our deadliest vices? Dr. Joe Rigney reveals how untethered empathy threatens to undermine biblical truth and transform compassion into a weapon of manipulation.In this episode of Remnant Radio, Dr. Rigney tackles the controversial intersection of emotions and truth in Christian culture from his new book, The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits. From Nazi Germany to modern church leadership, discover why good intentions without biblical boundaries lead to devastating consequences.Join Joshua Lewis and Michael Miller as they explore: • The distinction between biblical compassion and destructive empathy • How empathy without boundaries leads to tribalism • Why good men struggle with women's displeasure • The connection between empathy and church liberalization • Real-world examples from immigration to abuse ministryDr. Rigney, fellow of theology at New Saint Andrews College and pastor at Christ Church, provides a biblical framework for maintaining both compassion and conviction in an age of emotional manipulation.0:00 Introduction: The Sin of Empathy2:34 The Inspiration for “The Sin of Empathy” & Initial Reactions6:10 Empathy, Sympathy, & Compassion Defined: Navigating the Nuances16:44 Cultural Manipulations21:19 When Feelings Replace God: The Idolatry of Empathy37:04 The Blindspots of Empathy41:30 Empathy Leads to Tribalism50:23 Compassion + Truth VS Untethered Empathy1:00:17 Final ThoughtsABOUT THE GUEST:BOOK https://a.co/d/8anJpvC Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Questions about whether or not inherently sinful humans could have accurately recorded the Word of God, whether the words about Moses in Acts 7:22 and Exodus 4:10 contradict each other, and why we're told to say, “If it is the Lord's will,” in James 4 but not James 5.   How should I respond to the objection that humans, who are inherently sinful, could not have accurately recorded the Word of God? How do we reconcile the seeming contradiction between Acts 7:22, which says Moses was mighty in word and deed, and Exodus 4:10, where Moses says he is slow of speech and tongue? James 4:13–16 instructs us to qualify our plans by saying, “If it is the Lord's will,” but his words in the next chapter about our prayers healing the sick include no qualifiers regarding God's will. How does James 5 fit with James 4?

Join us today as we discuss the depravity of all mankind, how we have all sinned and deserve God's wrath and eternal death, and how God understands our sin and has provided a plan to save us.

Sex sells and it's everywhere. The enemy has taken something God designed between a husband and wife to enjoy, to procreate, and has twisted into something evil, sinful, that separates us from a Holy God. Even people who claim to follow Jesus have been duped by his deceitful scheme and, like a spider web, they have become entangled and wrapped up so tight they can't escape. But they can if they are willing to do what Paul says and live a holy life that can only be found in Jesus. Those who have turned sex into an evil desire must return sex to the original design God had for it. Anything with sex outside a marriage bed is sinful and separates us from God. It was a struggle with the early church and has been a struggle since the fall of man in Genesis. Every time the bible talks about sin, the very first thing mentioned is a sexual sin and if we continue in it, we will not inherit the kingdom of God. We are called to be holy and the only way to be holy is to walk with Jesus. We can't take a holy God with us and commit a sinful, sexual sin. We discuss it on today's podcast.

It's Mailbag Friday! You've got questions, we've got answers! Segment 1: • Am I sinning if I skip serving at church because I disagree with a guest preacher? • Should women teach deep theology to other women—or is that reserved for elders? • Will I spiritually starve after graduating youth group—and how can I stay fed? • How can you tell a true believer from someone who just looks and acts like one? • Why can't I stop watching sinful entertainment even when I feel dead to it? Segment 2: • How should I confront false teaching if I feel called to discernment ministry? Segment 3: • What are the biblical “rules of engagement” for discernment ministry? Segment 4: • Who best models godly discernment in your opinion? • Am I not a Christian if I don't feel sorrow over my sin—even though I repent? • How do you know who to marry if marriage reflects Christ's love for the church? ___ Thanks for listening!

Confess. Pray. Promise to change.Then… fall again. If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same sins, this episode is for you. We dig into the real reason willpower alone doesn't work—and why God isn't just interested in fixing your behavior, but healing your heart at the root. You're not weak—you're wounded. And until we let God into those deeper places, we'll stay stuck in the same cycle of sin, shame, and self-reliance. This is a call to stop managing sin and start inviting Christ to transform it from the inside out. 

Rosaria Butterfield is a former lesbian, feminist activist who met Jesus Christ and experienced a radical conversion to Christianity. She is now a bold advocate for Biblical truth concerning LGBT ideology and serves as a resource for those struggling with same-sex attraction. In this episode, Rosaria explains that the Gospel of Jesus Christ brings freedom from sin and makes us new. She encourages those struggling to find their identity in their Savior, not their sin. Is same-sex attraction sinful? Is Side B theology correct? Is it right to identify as a "gay Christian?"

Pastor Heath Lambert examines whether the American Revolution was biblically justified, combining Christian theology with American history. Perfect for July 4th discussions about faith, patriotism, and Romans 13's teaching on government authority.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction: Revolution and Faith for July 4th1:07 - The Question: Were the Founding Fathers Sinful to Rebel?2:11 - The Complexity: Widespread Colonial Support Including Churches3:29 - Old North Church Example: Churches Supporting Revolution4:54 - Biblical Context: New Testament Isn't a Revolution Manual6:08 - Romans 13: Submit to Governing Authorities7:50 - The Qualification: When Government Fails Its Purpose9:11 - Biblical Justification: Government Must Serve Good, Not Evil9:49 - Practical Justification: Colonies Tried Peaceful Appeals First10:30 - Key Distinction: Replacing Bad Government with Better Government11:01 - Conclusion: Revolution Not Forbidden When Biblically JustifiedKEY POINTSWidespread Colonial Support: The desire for independence wasn't limited to political leaders - it included preachers and churches. The Old North Church's role in Paul Revere's signal demonstrates how local congregations actively supported the rebellion against England.New Testament Purpose: The Bible isn't written to promote political revolution but to advance the gospel. Christians shouldn't look to Scripture as a manifesto for independence, though biblical principles can inform political decisions.Romans 13 and Government's Role: Government is instituted by God to reward good conduct and punish evil. When rulers become "a terror to good conduct" and fail to serve as "God's servant for your good," the biblical foundation for absolute submission is undermined.Biblical Justification for Revolution: The Founding Fathers had biblical grounds to rebel when the British government stopped protecting good and started punishing it. A government that fails its God-given purpose opens the door for legitimate resistance.Practical Justifications: The colonies exhausted peaceful appeals to the crown and Parliament before resorting to revolution. They sought to replace bad government with better government, not create anarchy.Christian Approach to Revolution: While revolution should never be Christians' main occupation, believers aren't forbidden from working to improve unjust government situations when done biblically and practically.Submit your questions for future episodes to MarkedbyGrace@fbcjax.comSCRIPTURE REFERENCESRomans 13:1-4 - "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God... he is God's servant for your good" - The biblical foundation for both government submission and the limits of that submission

It's common today to see women fight in the military, hold political office, and work jobs formerly dominated by men. But 2,000+ years ago, women had few rights and little worth in society. That didn't matter to Jesus—He had a heart for women, and it's shown in every conversation and interaction He had with them. Jill's series teaches about women in the Bible who spent time with Jesus. But if you go deeper, you'll discover its real lesson—no matter what your story is or where you've come from, no matter if you've lived a good life or made mistakes, every woman (every human for that matter!) has the same thing in common. We all need a Savior.Single? Suffering? Sorrowful? Sinful? Then listen closely and hear how much you are valued and loved by God's son.

Read Online And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.  Acts 2:2–4Happy birthday! Today, as we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, we also celebrate the birth of the Church. Thus, today is a celebration of your membership in the life of the Church. As a human institution, the Church has always suffered on account of the sins of Her members. This sad truth is something that we are increasingly aware of today. But the Church itself is the Spotless Bride of Christ. It is the Body of Christ on earth, in Heaven and in Purgatory. Those of us on earth are members of the Church Militant. Those in Heaven are members of the Church Triumphant. And those in Purgatory are members of the Church Suffering. But all of us are united under Christ our Head as members of His holy Body, the Church. We profess our faith in the Church every Sunday.We profess that we believe in “one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.” What exactly does this mean? First, it means that by the power and working of the Holy Spirit, those who profess faith in Christ are united as “one.” This oneness is a spiritual union that will endure for eternity. It is unbreakable and restores us to the life we were created to live. That is, a life of union with God and others, a communion of humanity with God.As one family, the Church is also “holy.” Holiness is another way of saying that we are made whole by the blood of Christ, sharing in His redemption. By His mercy, our sins are forgiven and we become children of the Father in Heaven, sharing the eternal life of the Son.The word “catholic” refers to the truth that the offer of salvation is given to all. It is a universal calling given to all people who will accept this gift. God did not come to save only a few but all, and many will accept this gift of salvation.We are “apostolic,” in that God chose to establish His Church through the mediation of His Apostles. They were uniquely called to become instruments by which the saving Truth is proclaimed and the grace won by the Cross is distributed. The work of the Apostles continues today through their successors, the bishops, and those who are co-workers with the bishops, the priests. Sinful though they may be, God uses them, nonetheless, to bestow His grace and truth upon the world.As a member of the one Body of Christ, you are also invited by God to enlarge His family through the sharing of the Gospel and by your life of deep prayer. You are called and sent, and this takes place by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that we especially celebrate today.Reflect, today, upon the incredible privilege it is to be invited to be a member of the Family of God, the Church. And reflect, also, upon the important duty you have to extend that invitation to others. Pray to the Holy Spirit, asking for an increase in His seven-fold gifts in your life so that You can help share the saving message of the Gospel to those whom God wants to reach through you.Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and kindle in them the fire of Your love. Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. O, God, Who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, through Christ our Lord. Amen. Jesus, I trust in You.  Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit Fear of the Lord: With this gift the Christian becomes keenly aware of anything that may hurt his/her relationship with God.  There is a holy “fear” of hurting this relationship, and grace is given to avoid these things at all cost.Wisdom: With this gift the Christian is given a special grace to “ponder divine realities” in his/her speculative reason.  We are able to see the big picture and know how best to be an instrument of peace and harmony in our world.Understanding: This is the ability to have a supernatural assurance of the matters of faith.  Life makes sense.  We can make sense of the deeper parts of revelation, make sense of suffering and understand those things that tempt us to doubt.  With this gift we come to see how everything in life can work for good in accordance with God's plan.Knowledge:  With this gift the Christian knows, more in the practical intellect, what God's will is in this or that situation.  We know how to live, how to discern God's will and what decision to make in our daily life.  It also enables us to learn from our past mistakes.Counsel:  With this gift the Christian sees him/herself as a link in a chain which makes up the entire Church.  God uses each one of us to help and support one another on our journey.  We know what to say and how to act so as to do our part to build up one another.Fortitude: Simply put, it is a firmness of mind and spirit to do good and avoid evil.  It's a sort of Christian courage.  The Gospel will call all of us to a radical life of love.  Fortitude gives us the strength we need to follow through.Piety:  This gift enables us to first reverence and love God, but also to see the dignity of one another and reverence each other as children of God.Image: Juan Bautista Maíno, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life!
