The sermon explores the critical Christian duty of spiritual discernment, urging believers to test all teachings against the standard of Scripture. Drawing primarily from 1 John 4, it outlines three principles for evaluating teachers: refusing to believe every spirit, testing claims by their confession of Jesus Christ's incarnation, and recognizing the opposition of the antichrist spirit. The preacher emphasizes that true faith requires examining its object before placing confidence in it, warning against false teachers who distort the gospel or diminish the person and work of Christ. Ultimately, the message calls for a steadfast commitment to the biblical truth of Jesus alone as the sole foundation for salvation and spiritual assurance. In light of the danger of false teaching and the church's experience with false teachers, John commands believers to exercise discernment by testing everything according to the standard of Scripture, and the truths of Jesus Christ.
Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm addressing the divorcee community and I'm going straight to the Bible.Why does God say He hates divorce? What does Scripture actually teach about marriage, covenant, divorce, and the responsibilities of husbands and wives? And why have divorce rates become so incredibly high, particularly as wives increasingly initiate divorce over reasons that, from a biblical perspective, are trivial, selfish, or completely unbiblical?This is not a message designed to just shame people who have experienced divorce. It is a challenge to the culture that has normalized abandoning marriage whenever things become difficult, inconvenient, or uncomfortable. We need to be willing to distinguish between legitimate biblical grounds for divorce and the endless list of modern excuses we've created to justify walking away from a sacred covenant.And that's not all we're discussing.I'm also talking about Donald Trump's continued failures, the gap between political promises and political reality, and why Americans should be questioning the decisions being made in our name.Plus, we're talking about the Iran War and why I believe this conflict is unnecessary and why Americans should be asking whether another foreign war actually serves the interests of the United States.Marriage. Divorce. Biblical truth. Trump. Iran. War. Political accountability.I'm saying what I believe needs to be said, even when it isn't popular (as usual).--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

What if your wilderness season isn't a sign that God has left you—but proof that He's preparing you? In this powerful return to the Revelations Podcast, Christa Black Singh shares how God has continued to redeem every chapter of her story. From heartbreak and divorce to remarriage, motherhood, and deep spiritual healing, Christa reflects on what it truly means to walk with Jesus through seasons of crushing, restoration, and rest. Together, Reagan and Christa explore difficult but important topics including suffering, biblical discernment, spiritual warfare, the unseen spiritual realm, New Age deception, healing from trauma, and learning to hear God's voice before praying and speaking our own declarations. Christa also shares deeply personal stories about the loss of her daughter Goldie, God's redemption through unimaginable grief, and the profound lessons she learned after leaving New Age practices behind. Christa breaks down the realms of heaven, ancient technology and how understanding the strategies of the enemy can transform our spiritual lives. Whether you're walking through a wilderness season, wrestling with spiritual questions, or longing for deeper intimacy with Christ, this conversation will encourage you to trust God's goodness, embrace His refining work, and remember that His redemption is always greater than your pain. Key Takeaways God often uses wilderness seasons to prepare us for greater purpose. True success is becoming more like Christ—not gaining influence or recognition. God can bring healing from trauma and understanding the connection between spirit, soul, and body. Discernment begins by asking, "Lord, what are You saying?" before speaking. Spiritual warfare is real, but Jesus has complete authority over every power. Healing involves our relationship with God, our emotions, and our willingness to surrender. No failure, trauma, or loss is beyond God's power to redeem. Jesus is the only doorway to the Father, and lasting freedom is found in Him alone.

The River, The Referee, and The Voice with Rev. Dr. David ChotkaHave you ever sat in the quiet—or in the middle of a chaotic Monday morning—and wondered: "Is that an interior thought from my own mind, or is Jesus actually giving me a tap on the shoulder?" In this episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach welcomes author, international speaker, and founder of Spirit-Equip Ministries, Rev. Dr. David Chotka. Moving far past surface-level church performance and dry academic theology, Pastor David breaks down the practical, everyday mechanics of hearing God's voice and recognizing the subtle signals of His presence.Together, Kristen and David unpack how Holy Spirit uses the ebb and flow of Righteousness, Peace, and Joy (Romans 14:17) as an internal compass. You'll discover why God's peace isn't just an emotion—it is an active "referee" (Colossians 3:15) that sifts your decisions, gives loving warnings, and confirms when you are standing on solid ground.
What if your child told you they could see angels? Would you know how to respond? Would you dismiss it, fear it, or lean in with curiosity and prayer? In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Revelations Podcast, Reagan welcomes back Lori from Remnant Rising to discuss a topic many believers quietly wonder about but rarely talk about openly: seeing in the spirit. Together they explore what Scripture says about angels, demons, spiritual warfare, supernatural experiences, and how God may reveal spiritual realities to both adults and children. Lori vulnerably shares her family's recent journey after her son began describing encounters with angels, spiritual battles, and dark figures with remarkable detail. Rather than responding with fear, Lori chose to seek biblical wisdom, pray with authority, and learn how to steward what God may be revealing. This conversation is not about sensationalizing the supernatural—it's about recognizing that our faith is inherently supernatural and that Jesus has already won the victory. If you've ever experienced something you couldn't explain, if your child has shared unusual spiritual experiences, or if you've wondered what Scripture teaches about the unseen realm, this episode will encourage you to respond with wisdom, discernment, and confidence in Christ.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!What if God is speaking, but not in the way you expected?In this episode, Jerry L. Martin reflects on how God may guide us through everyday life, through prayer, intuition, conscience, spiritual experience, and through other people.When Jerry first heard God ask him to “tell My story,” he was surprised by the idea that God could have a story at all. But as he was led through the sacred texts of the world's religions, he began to see divine reality as active, personal, many-sided, and deeply involved in human life.God's story is not only found in ancient scriptures or world religions. It continues in the lives of ordinary people.Jerry explores how to recognize divine guidance, how to listen for God's presence, and why spiritual discernment begins with paying attention. Sometimes God may speak through a friend's advice, a repeated message, a task that falls into your path, a feeling in the body, or a moment of unexpected help.For anyone who has ever felt abandoned by God, spiritually alone, or unsure how to hear God's voice, this episode offers a powerful reminder: you may not be alone. God may already be present through the people, signs, and quiet invitations around you.This From God to Jerry to You reflection explores divine signs, spiritual calling, religious experience, suffering, gratitude, and how God speaks through other people.***Continue the conversation with Ultimate Questions on calling, divine guidance, and how we recognize what is ours to do:https://substack.com/@ultimatequestions***Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue.

While the world celebrates Pride Month, Christians must be careful not to focus on one visible sin while becoming blind to the pride, immorality, drunkenness, gossip, dishonesty, and worldliness that often exist in our own lives. God calls His people not to celebrate or excuse sin, but to expose the deeds of darkness and find their identity, confidence, and joy in Jesus Christ alone. The rainbow is not a symbol of human pride, but God's covenant, faithfulness, and mercy toward a fallen world.

Sunday June 7th 2026 Sunday worship Service at the Deeper Life Bible Church Gbagada Lagos. Message By Pastor W.F Kumuyihttps://dclm.org/sermons/sunday-services/2026-sunday-services/great-loss-through-ignorance-and-lack-of-spiritual-discernment/
The sermon centers on the necessity of spiritual discernment in evaluating music, emphasizing that while Scripture provides principles rather than specific musical commands, believers are called to judge all things by biblical standards. It contrasts mere perception—recognizing cultural or emotional responses to music—with true discernment, which involves separating holy from profane, clean from unclean, through a deep, Spirit-empowered engagement with Scripture. Drawing from passages in Ezekiel, Proverbs, and 1 Corinthians, the message argues that discernment is cultivated not through musical expertise, but through consistent Bible study, a yielded life, and the Holy Spirit's illumination. The speaker challenges listeners to move beyond cultural preferences or emotional reactions, urging them to practice spiritual maturity by making biblically grounded decisions in music and life, recognizing that true discernment is developed over time through faith, obedience, and the exercise of spiritual senses.
Why is church hurt so hard to sort through—even when you're trying to approach it thoughtfully?In this episode, Jill begins a new series exploring the complexity of disappointment and tension within church communities. Not every situation is clear-cut. Sometimes something feels off, but there isn't full agreement on what's right or wrong—and that's where it becomes difficult to process.Rather than rushing to conclusions, this episode slows things down and looks at what may be happening underneath the experience. Jill walks through why these situations feel heavier than other types of conflict, why it's hard to talk about concerns without feeling like you're causing division, and how quickly our interpretations can start to shape what we believe is true.This episode isn't about assigning blame or figuring out who's right. It's about understanding the layers—so you can respond with more clarity, humility, and steadiness.In This Episode:Why church experiences often carry more emotional and spiritual weightThe tension between wanting to be careful and needing to process something that doesn't sit rightHow internal processing can shift into certainty without realizing itWhy these situations are rarely as simple as they first appearThe layers involved: leadership, culture, interpretation, and your own internal responseKey Takeaways:Church hurt often feels heavier because it involves trust, belonging, and shared faithNot every situation is clear—many involve differing perspectives rather than obvious right and wrongIt's possible to move too quickly toward silence or certainty without fully understanding what's happeningSlowing down your thinking creates space for clarity and wisdomYou don't have to resolve everything immediately to begin moving forward thoughtfullySeries Note:This episode is part of a four-part series on church hurt. In the coming weeks, we'll look more closely at leadership, hear from women who have walked through these experiences, and explore how to process what's happening in your own heart.Keywords:church hurt, Christian relationships, church conflict, spiritual discernment, emotional processing, Christian growth, navigating disappointment, faith and relationships, church leadership, Christian mindset CLICK HERE to learn more and join me for Wholehearted live virtual workshop June 27, 10-1 pm CT.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!What happens when suffering enters a new season of life? How do we face aging, grief, limitation, and uncertainty without surrendering our sense of purpose?In the latest Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, the married philosophers return for another stimulating dialogue exploring suffering, aging, calling, and the search for meaning. Beginning with the Serenity Prayer and the Stoic distinction between what we can and cannot control, the conversation moves into deeper questions about suffering as a source of growth, the temptation to “give up” too early in life, and the challenge of remaining fully engaged with one's purpose.Abigail reflects on resisting cultural narratives of decline, particularly those imposed on women, while sharing her thoughts on aging, neuropathy, resilience, and refusing to “die before you're dead.” Jerry connects these reflections to themes from God: An Autobiography, including the idea that “suffering is the law of growth in the universe.”The discussion also explores antisemitism, historical responsibility, Aristotle's vision of human flourishing, the story of David and Goliath, and the question of what it means to live in alignment with one's deepest calling.This is a rich and personal conversation about suffering, purpose, spiritual courage, and remaining fully alive on the timeline of human history.Whether you are navigating grief, searching for meaning, or trying to discern what still has your name on it, Episode 284 offers a thoughtful and deeply human exploration of the courage required to keep living fully.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible mothers out there. Today's episode is a deeper conversation about the urgent need for stronger, more biblical men and women in our culture, people willing to stand for truth, protect the vulnerable, and refuse to stay silent in the face of evil.We discuss the ongoing outrage surrounding the Epstein files, the lack of accountability for powerful people, and the broader cultural failure to protect victims from wicked and predatory individuals. But this conversation goes beyond headlines. It's about morality, courage, justice, faith, and what happens when societies stop valuing strong families, strong character, and biblical principles.This episode is ultimately about hope too, because evil does not win forever. Real justice matters, truth matters, and good people still have a responsibility to speak up.

Brian Fromm sits down with Adam Holtz from Plugged In — Focus on the Family's entertainment review ministry — to talk about Michael, the new Michael Jackson biopic covering his rise from Gary, Indiana to global superstardom. Is it a fair portrait, or does it sidestep the harder questions? Adam breaks down what the film gets right, why legal realities shaped what it couldn't show, and what it means for the value of the biopic genre altogether. Then, Adam pulls back the curtain on Plugged In's popular Theology Of series — deep-dive explorations of the spiritual worldviews embedded in major entertainment franchises like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and the latest entry: Doom. Yes, that Doom. It turns out a demon-shooting shooter from 1993 has more theological substance than you'd expect. Plus — what's coming this summer? Adam previews Spider-Man: Brand New Day and why it may be the movie to watch. Find Adam and the full Theology Of series at pluggedin.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
