1 Timothy 4:7-9 - Practicing the Spiritual Disciplines

Pastor Mike Impact Ministries

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 2, 2026 5:21


 Thatis what we have been emphasizing over the past few days: the importance ofliving this kind of life and the necessity of having a daily quiettime—spending time with God. It is God who works in you both to will and to doof His good pleasure as you make yourself available to Him. You put yourself inthe pathway of grace by practicing certain spiritual disciplines, such asreading your Bible and spending time in prayer. Thereis another discipline I began early as a brand-new believer, now some 54 yearsago—and that is memorizing Scripture. Take at least one verse a week. Memorizethat verse throughout the week. That's 52 verses a year. I did much more thanthat over the years, but I want to tell you something: if there is one regret Ihave, it is that I did not memorize even more Scripture. Youcan never memorize too much of God's Word. You may say, “I can't remember thoseverses later.” That doesn't matter. They are inside of you. The Holy Spiritwill bring to your remembrance what you have hidden in your heart. It's there,even if you don't consciously recall it at the moment. God will use it. Anotherdiscipline I have practiced over many years is reading good devotional books.At the top of my list, of course, is Oswald Chambers, ‘My Utmost for HisHighest'. He has several other excellent devotionals, such as ‘Daily Thoughtsfor Disciples'. Over the years, I have probably read 20 or 30 different devotionalbooks, by different authors, sometimes reading several each day for months at atime, simply to ensure that I was walking with wise men. Scripturetells us, “He that walks with wise men shall be wise, but a companion offools shall be destroyed” (Proverbs 13:20). I thought to myself, who can Iwalk with that is wise? Many of those people don't have time for mepersonally—but I can walk with them through their writings. They left theirlife and wisdom in their books.  Thereare wise men and women such as Oswald Chambers, A. W. Tozer, E. M. Bounds,Andrew Murray, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, and Mrs. Charles Cowman, whose book, “Streamsin the Desert' has been a great blessing. I can spend a few minutes with eachof these authors—people who knew God, walked with God, and had God-given wisdomconcerning spiritual life and the world around us. Iwant to make special mention of Henry Blackaby's ‘Experiencing God Day by Day'.I post that devotional on my website, (https://www.pmiministries.org/), and onFacebook every day. Another one I post daily is Dr. Elmer Towns, ‘365 Ways toKnow God'. I strongly encourage you to read it. I wish I had started reading ityears ago. Dr. Towns was my theology professor for four years at LibertyUniversity, back when it was Lynchburg Baptist College. I can tell you, youwill learn about God and come to know Him in a more intimate way. Then you canpractice what you are learning about God. Dr. Towns used to say, “Theology thatdoesn't teach you how to daily live for God is not good theology.” I have neverforgotten that. Ialso recommend Andrew Murray's ‘God's Best Secrets', a book God has usedgreatly in my life, along with works associated with Watchman Nee, such as ‘TheJoyful Heart' and ‘Table in the Wilderness'. E. M. Bounds also has a one-minutedevotional, ‘The Power of Prayer', that is excellent for daily reading—I stilluse it today. Inaddition, I take time to read Robert J. Morgan's ‘On This Day'. It highlightssomething that happened on that particular day in history—often involving agiant of the faith, someone God used mightily, or someone who even gave theirlife as a martyr for Christ. Reading their stories encourages me andstrengthens my faith. Myfriend, we need all the help we can get in a world that is constantlybombarding us with lies. We need the truth. We need time with wise men andwomen—and we can do that through the books they have left behind. They havepoured their lives, their faith, and their thoughts into those pages for us.

Every morning you wake up, you step onto a spiritual battlefield. But too many Christians are entering the crossfire unarmed, untrained, and unprepared. We've become a generation of worriers instead of warriors, trading the armor of God for the armor of comfort—and Satan couldn't be happier.This episode is not a self-help talk; it's a spiritual boot camp. We're drawing a line in the sand and exposing worry for what it truly is: a sin. A rebellion against the sovereignty of God. A form of functional atheism that worships the problem instead of the Provider.It's time to stop living as spiritual cowards and start rising as conquerors. It's time to trade anxiety for the full armor of God.Buckle up. This is a call to arms for every believer who's tired of living in fear."For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." – 2 Timothy 1:7Episode Highlights:05:55 - Worry is worship in the wrong direction. When you worry, you're meditating on your fears instead of God's promises. You're magnifying the problem instead of the provider. That's not humility, that's heresy. Because in essence, worry says, "God, I don't believe that you're in control." It's functional atheism.16:48 - A.W. Tozer said it perfectly when he said this quote, "A frightened world needs a fearless church." But instead of fearlessness, many pulpits preach comfort. Instead of calling people to courage, we call them to calm down. Warriors don't need calm. They need conviction.39:42 - That's why the world doesn't need more nice Christians. It needs bold ones. Warriors who will lovingly, firmly, and publicly stand for truth, even when it costs them everything.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

From back in the archives, this is the first sermon I preached - July, 2013. If you've ever felt ‘meh' about faith or struggled with life's hard questions, this sermon gently calls you back to the wonder of who God is and how a humble response can change everything. This is a reminder that God isn't just a distant idea or a casual checkbox; He's holy, powerful, and deeply personal. I invite you to move from indifference or frustration to humble awe and wholehearted devotion.  What's the most important thing about you? A.W. Tozer said, “The most important thing about a man is what he thinks about God.” This was my very first sermon back in July 2013, and the heartbeat of it still anchors every message I preach today. From Isaiah's vision of the Lord high and lifted up, we learn that true peace and purpose begin not with me, but with Him.

Send us a textWhat you worship will shape the whole arc of your life. We open the door with the five solas—Scripture alone, faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone, to the glory of God alone—and then linger on Soli Deo Gloria, where everyday choices become an offering and ordinary moments become a stage for God's goodness. From Martin Luther's conviction to our city streets, we connect history's rallying cry with the modern heart.Walking through Acts 17, we follow Paul into Athens and its forest of idols, where an altar to the “unknown god” becomes the key to a deeper truth: the Creator who needs nothing gives everything—life, breath, boundaries, seasons—and has come near in Jesus Christ. That nearness reframes our pursuits. Idolatry isn't only stone and gold; it can be image, achievement, comfort, even religious success. We talk about how to spot those quiet rivals and re-center our loves, not by despising good things, but by returning every gift to its Giver.We share three practical takeaways on worship that hold up under pressure: worship aligns us with God's purposes, worship celebrates Christ's transforming work in us, and worship compels daily obedience. Along the way, we draw from Tozer, Lewis, and Spurgeon, and we offer a clear invitation to trust Jesus—confessing with the mouth and believing in the heart—as the way into a restored life with God. If you're ready to trade restlessness for meaning and noise for glory, press play, lean in, and consider what needs to come off the throne.If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who's searching, and leave a review to help others find these conversations.

In this sermon, we learn that the Christian life is a process of becoming all that God has saved us to be, which requires grace-energized effort. Sermon Outline Paul’s Admission Of Imperfection-3:12 (Holy Dissatisfaction) Paul’s Pursuit Of Christ-3:13-14 (Devotion & Determination) Paul’s Perspective -3:15 Paul’s Pattern To Follow-3:17 Paul’s Warning False Brothers -3:18-19 Paul’s Heavenly Hope & Citizenship -3:20-21 Insightful Quotes “To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religionist, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart.” A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit Of God If you read history you will find that the Christians who did the most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next. ... It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this. C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, p.134 Application Recognize and admit where your life doesn’t display Kingdom values and pursuits. Remove distractions from your life to focus on the “one thing” that matters most. Resolve to pursue God’s plans and purposes for your life, relying on God’s grace to energize your efforts. Reflection Questions What do you need to change in your life in order to pursue the one thing that matters most? What habit is your greatest hindrance to run the race with endurance that is before you?

Tozer, is not for a select few, but should be the experience of every follower of Christ. But, he asserts, it is all too rare when believers have become conditioned by tradition to accept standards of mediocrity, and the church struggles with formality and worldliness. Using examples from Scripture and from the lives of saints who lived with this thirst for God, Tozer sheds light on the path to a closer walk with God. (Summary by D.

Send me a Text Message!The beatitude for today is, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be satisfied." So the question that I will ask us is "Are you living a satisfied life?" Are you satisfied with what you have? But for the purpose of the notes here, I'm going to print the prayer I close with, just in case you want to pray for more than you have.  It's a prayer from A. W. Tozer; the response of a heart with a deep longing for God. O God, I have tasted Your goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am  ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want you. I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Your glory, I pray that I may know You indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me.  Say to my soul ‘Rise up my love and come away.' Then give me the grace to rise and follow You, up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long. In Jesus' Name, Amen. Oh and...in episode #11, I called us to a season of fasting and prayer. In my weekly newsletter I included a guide for this season.

Juan 6:44 En algunos de los salmos, los escritores parecen agitar los puños hacia Dios y gritar: “¿Dónde estás, Señor? ¿Por qué eres tan lento? ¿Duermes? ¡Despierta y ayúdame! “ Curiosamente, los salmistas nunca dudaron de la existencia de Dios, solo de sus métodos. Lo amaban, creían que triunfaría sobre los enemigos, sabían que Él era el único Dios verdadero. Pero tienen opiniones firmes sobre la forma en que él se ocupaba de sus asuntos. ¡Y no tuvieron reparos en decírselo! Afortunadamente para nosotros los seres humanos, Dios no se ofende fácilmente. Él está profundamente comprometido con mantener el fin de nuestra relación y no quiere que le ocultemos nada. Él ya conoce todos los pensamientos que tenemos, de todos modos. ¿Por qué no hablar con él sobre esos pensamientos? Cada preocupación por nuestras vidas, cada preocupación por nuestro futuro, cada pequeña cosa que sea buena, mala o fea. Nuestro Padre siempre quiere hablar. De hecho, el impulso mismo de orar se origina en Dios. En su libro La búsqueda de Dios, el autor A. W.

This is the quality of generosity.”“Generosity expresses the simple wish that others should have what they need to make them happy.” -J.I. Packer, Knowing God-Tozer's definition:“The goodness of God is that which disposes Him to be kind, cordial, benevolent, and full of good will toward men.

How Our View of God Impacts Our Stewardship with Taylor Standridge

Billy Graham once said, “Tell me what you think about money, and I will tell you what you think about God, for these two are closely related.”In Jesus' Parable of the Talents, we see that stewardship isn't just about money—it's about how we view God. Today, Taylor Standridge joins me to explore how our image of God influences the way we give, spend, and live.Taylor Standridge is the Production Manager here at Faith and Finance, co-author of Look at the Sparrows, our 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and Anxiety, and a frequent contributor to our quarterly magazine, Faithful Steward, as well as other FaithFi studies and devotionals.Our View of God Shapes EverythingA.W. Tozer once wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” This truth has enormous implications for stewardship. How we see God determines how we handle what He has entrusted to us.If we see Him as generous, trustworthy, and sovereign, we will hold our resources with open hands and joyful hearts, confident that He is both our provider and our treasure. But if we see Him as distant, demanding, or indifferent, we may fall into reluctant giving, fearful hoarding, or selfish spending.Stewardship is far more than budgets and giving—it is about trust, worship, and living in light of who we believe God to be. A distorted view of God is like setting sail with the wrong coordinates: you may move with confidence, but you'll end up in the wrong place.Lessons from the Parable of the TalentsIn Matthew 25, the tragedy of the third servant wasn't his lack of ability—it was his lack of trust. Believing his master to be a “hard man,” he buried what was given to him. His fear led to inaction.This parable isn't only about money. The “talents” represent everything God entrusts to us—time, relationships, opportunities, gifts, and resources. Faithful stewardship flows not from skill, but from trust. The first two servants stepped out boldly because they trusted their master's character. Their faith led to joy, not judgment: “Enter into the joy of your master.”The deeper warning is this: when we misjudge God's heart, we hold back. When we trust His goodness, we invest boldly for His Kingdom.Obedience as God's GiftMany believers think of obedience as something they give to God. But Scripture reminds us that even obedience is a gift of grace. “It is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose” (Phil. 2:13). He not only prepares good works for us (Eph. 2:10)—He empowers us to walk in them.This truth transforms stewardship from a burden into a blessing. We're not managing resources to prove ourselves; we're participating in the good works God has already prepared. Stewardship becomes a relational act of grace, not a transactional duty.The Sobering Warning—and the Joyful InvitationIn Matthew 7, Jesus warns that some will say, “Lord, Lord,” but hear Him reply, “I never knew you.” The issue wasn't activity—it was relationship. Faithful stewardship begins with knowing God as gracious, faithful, and abundantly generous.If you feel stuck or fearful—like the third servant—remember this: God isn't waiting to punish you. He invites you to trust Him. Start small. Ask Him to reshape your view, to see Him not as a harsh master, but as a loving Father.As 2 Timothy 1:7 declares, “God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” When we live from that truth, stewardship becomes delight, not duty. We don't just manage money; we step into joy, walking with the One who is our ultimate treasure.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm a retired senior and recently heard about the new $6,000 tax break.
