The one individual that will destroy everything you love & drag it all to hell is closer than you think. Know your enemy. Pastor Larry T Smith has over 40 years experience in the arena of spiritul warfare, we would all do well to listen to this man.

Segment 1: • YouTube gurus are misusing the term "narcissist" to manipulate relationships, especially targeting men. • Their advice? “Torture” narcissists by reducing their significance—an approach not backed by scripture. • Does the Bible support this trend, or is it just trendy manipulation disguised as wisdom? Segment 2: • Are parents being ghosted by their kids due to the narcissism trend? • Terms like "cutting out toxic people" and "chosen family" are replacing biblical commands. • The Bible warns against abandoning your family—this culture of detachment is dangerous and unbiblical. Segment 3: • We've coddled people's feelings for too long, but this narcissism trend takes it too far. • The idea that you should "torture" or "hold onto your truth" against a narcissist is against biblical teaching. • True Christian love and engagement with others doesn't involve playing games—it involves walking alongside them in truth and grace. Segment 4: • Influencers encourage you to ignore or punish those who don't align with your truth. • This “narcissism” culture isn't biblical; we don't torture people or cast them aside. • Personal preferences aren't narcissism; kindness and understanding are key in relationships. ___ Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme ___ Thanks for listening!

Do we need to ask God for forgiveness every time we sin? If not, what should we do instead? My friend told me I'm not a true Christian, because I believe in grace and don't think we're under the Ten Commandments! What did Jesus write in the sand that caused the woman's accusers to leave?

Living as a saint means actively participating in God's kingdom work through sincere love and humble service. This involves loving without conditions, taking emotional risks, and being willing to have difficult conversations when necessary. True Christian love holds others accountable while considering them more important than ourselves, demonstrating genuine care without expecting anything in return.This lifestyle requires avoiding spiritual laziness while maintaining fervor in serving God. Christians are called to share with those in need, pursue hospitality, and live in harmony through humility. When faced with persecution, the response should be blessing rather than revenge, maintaining peace whenever possible, and focusing on eternal matters. This includes practical actions like helping enemies and viewing the world through Scripture's perspective rather than conforming to worldly patterns.Support the show

Christian fellowship does not necessarily mean being part of a religious organization or participating in a religious meeting or activity. People can gather, pray, and worship together regularly at a place without necessarily experiencing Christian fellowship. This informative teaching explores the concept of Christian fellowship and how to experience and participate in it. Listen and learn how to engage in true Christian fellowship!

Send us a textNatural disasters are not God's punishment. Prayer should transform us and the world, not manipulate a divine force. We don't worship Zeus—we worship Jesus Christ. We often misunderstand prayer and project our fears onto God. True Christian prayer invites us to change ourselves and reflect God's love and justice in a broken world.

Being a saint means actively participating in God's kingdom work, not just attending church services. Every believer has unique gifts and access to people that pastors may never reach. Christians must view the world through Biblical truth, challenge their perspectives, and use their spiritual gifts within the church community. The local church is essential for spiritual growth, mutual support, and the exercise of these gifts. True Christian living involves finding joy in whatever role God has assigned, whether teaching, serving, or showing hospitality.Support the show

Send us a textWe explore Galatians 2:19-21 to reveal the difference between living under religious obligation versus living in the freedom Christ purchased with His sacrifice. Through a detailed examination of our identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, we look at how true salvation frees us from both sin's power and religious bondage.• The law of Moses created a continual consciousness of sin requiring endless sacrifices• Christ offered Himself once as the perfect sacrifice that fully satisfied sin's requirement• When we believe in Christ, we are crucified with Him - our old sinful self dies• True Christian living is "not I, but Christ lives in me" - His life expressing through us• "Rededication" is an unbiblical concept that keeps believers trapped in performance-based religion• God has no memory of forgiven sin - it's removed as far as east is from west• Salvation is received by faith, not achieved through religious effortIf you're being drawn to true salvation today, simply call upon Jesus right now.

Today, we're diving into a truth that often gets overlooked in our individualistic culture: we were never meant to walk this faith journey alone. We need godly friendships—people who encourage us, challenge us, and stand beside us when trials come.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10—“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!”God designed us for relationships. True Christian friendships go beyond casual conversation; they are a source of strength, correction, and encouragement. In a world that pulls us in every direction, having someone to help us stay aligned with God's Word is invaluable. Accountability is not about judgment—it's about love. A true friend speaks truth even when it's uncomfortable because they care about your soul. Proverbs 27:17 tells us, “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” When we walk together in faith, we become stronger, more resilient, and better equipped for the battles ahead.If you want to grow spiritually, surround yourself with friends who push you toward Christ. Are your friendships helping you stay on track, or are they pulling you away from God?Let's Pray: Lord, thank You for the gift of godly friendships. Help us to build relationships that encourage, challenge, and uplift. Give us the wisdom to seek accountability and the courage to be honest with those You've placed in our lives.

There is a dangerous message in today's culture that equates love with silent approval. But love without truth is not love at all—it is deception. True Christian love is courageous. It requires discernment. It extends grace while standing firm in righteousness.But what does this actually look like in practice, especially in today's world? How do we love our neighbors when they don't think like us, when they don't vote like us, or when they mock what we believe?We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠⁠⁠

Send us a textChallenging the increasingly popular notion that church attendance is optional for Christians, this episode examines the Biblical mandate for believers to gather in person for worship, fellowship, and spiritual growth.The conversation begins by exploring 1 Peter 5:1-3, where Peter's instructions to church elders presuppose the existence of congregations physically gathering under shepherds. This fundamental assumption throughout Scripture reveals that church attendance isn't merely a cultural tradition but a divinely established pattern for spiritual formation.Perhaps most compelling is Christ's own example—the incarnate Son of God faithfully attended synagogue worship despite having absolutely nothing to gain from it. If Jesus, who embodied perfect truth and knowledge, prioritized corporate worship, how much stronger is our need as imperfect believers to gather regularly with the body of Christ?The episode directly addresses common excuses for avoiding church attendance, from imperfect congregations to online alternatives. While acknowledging that finding a doctrinally sound church can be challenging, the speaker maintains that the biblical command in Hebrews not to forsake "the assembling of ourselves together" remains binding for believers today. The provocative question posed repeatedly: if being around God's people now is undesirable to you, how will you enjoy heaven's eternal fellowship?For those struggling with church attendance or seeking biblical community, this episode offers both loving challenge and practical guidance. The spiritual tsunami of individualism threatening to separate believers from corporate worship requires honest examination of our hearts and priorities. True Christian faith has always been lived out in community, not isolation—making our gatherings more vital than ever in an increasingly fragmented world.Faith That Challenges.

Biblical love contrasts with worldly love, which is often self-seeking and transactional. True love is patient, enduring, and does not keep a record of wrongs. Authentic Christian love is expressed through honor, service, and deep commitment to the family of believers.

What would happen in your marriage if you were a true Christian? The word "Christian" means Christ-like. The central theme in the life of Jesus was that of service. A true Christian in a marriage will choose the posture of a servant to their spouse.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/lovelanguageminuteSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The True Christian walk On episode #31 of @designedtolastpodcast, Ashley of (@arrowsandbow)and Dino Petrone are coining the phrase ‘slaying times are good times' and speaking about how through trials you may look to ‘avoid the battle', but by taking the road less taken, fighting the battle and getting through it is what grows us - both in your strength within' yourself and your marriage but also with your relationship with the Lord. This week's episode begs the question, how can we ‘walk the walk' and ‘talk the talk' of christianity, both to allow Him to change the hearts of ourselves and others and forgive the way Christ forgave us? When we ask ‘why Lord' but yet in the same breath say ‘thank you Lord' - how can we continue to thank Him instead of questioning His path? What people are saying: ‘I'm loving the podcast. Last few have hit me different. Like taking notes and writing down reminders. So good. The way you 2 balance and complement each other adds such value. So refreshing to have both perspectives. Thank you!'

A new MP3 sermon from Puritan Reformed Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Faith, Love, and Hope: Marks of the True Christian Life Subtitle: 1st Thessalonians Speaker: Brian Schwertley Broadcaster: Puritan Reformed Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 2/16/2025 Bible: 1 Thessalonians 1 Length: 38 min.

In this sermon, Pastor Roydon Frost unpacks the biblical call to care for one another, drawing from Galatians 6:1-10. True Christian care involves restoring those caught in sin with gentleness, bearing one another's burdens, and avoiding spiritual pride. Jesus, in his meekness, bore our greatest burden, freeing us to love and serve each other selflessly. Whether through church discipline, practical support, or simply listening, Christians are called to care deeply for the church family. As they do, they fulfill the law of Christ, reflecting his love and grace in their lives.

True Christian love transcends mere emotions, requiring active choice and meaningful service to others. Based on Jesus' two greatest commandments - loving God completely and loving neighbors as ourselves - authentic Christianity manifests through compassionate action. Drawing from the Good Samaritan parable, believers are called to see others with genuine compassion, take decisive action, and help generously without expecting recognition. Overcoming barriers like selfishness and busy schedules, Christians must prioritize serving others as a practical demonstration of their faith.
