“The kingdom of God is at hand.” Jesus wants to show us how to live in the house of the Father! Do you want to live there, or in the world? Satan wants us distracted so that we are focused on anything other than what Jesus has come to bring.

In this message from Ephesians 6:14, David Platt points us to a critical piece of armor in our battle with Satan and sin—the belt of truth. Explore more content from Radical.

How important is it and why?* Does Phoebe being a letter carrier necessarily mean that she is teaching authoritatively? Isn't Paul the true authority, and she is simply representing him?* In 1Tim 3:1 Paul says “if anyone desires to be an elder” if he meant only men, why use the Greek word “tis” and not a more descriptive word for male?* Is it possible to be a mutualist at home but a purely symbolic complementarian in the church on the basis that bishops are representatives of the apostles?* Elder-exclusive complementarianism is the only form that makes any sense to me, Biblically. What arguments, if any, do you see for stricter forms?* Does "husband of one wife" in 1 Tim. 3.2;3.12 have to be gender exclusive? Could it be translated as some have suggested as a "one-man" woman?* Comps: women cant teach/exercise auth. over men because 1 Tim 2.But Priscilla teaching Apollos is to a degree a man submitting to a woman's teaching. How you understand this?* In Gen 3 God punished females with subjection to their husbands due to Eve's sin. Is Paul extrapolating this to church leadership positions as well in 1 Tim 2?* Do we need to read primogeniture into Genesis in order to be faithfully exegeting Genesis 2?* With so many Hapax Legomena in 1 Timothy, and 8 alone in 1 Timothy 2, why is it so often quoted as “the clearest passage on women” in the New Testament?* Does Gen. 3:15 indicate that sexism is from Satan, ie., that the enemy specifically targets women?

What if our relentless drive to be better than others is quietly breaking us?Miroslav Volf unpacks the core themes of his 2025 book, The Cost of Ambition: How Striving to Be Better Than Others Makes Us Worse. In this book, Volf offers a penetrating critique of comparison culture, diagnosing the hidden moral and spiritual wounds caused by competition and superiority.Drawing on Scripture, theology, philosophy, literature, and our culture's obsession with competition and superiority, Volf challenges our assumptions about ambition and identity—and presents a deeply humanizing vision of life rooted not in being “the best,” but in receiving ourselves as creatures made and loved by God.From Milton's depiction of Satan to Jesus' descent in Philippians 2, from the architectural rivalry of ancient Byzantium to modern Olympic anxieties, Volf invites us to imagine a new foundation for personal and social flourishing: a life free from striving, rooted in love and grace.Highlights“The key here is for us to come to appreciate, affirm, and—importantly—love ourselves. Love ourselves unconditionally.”“Striving for superiority devalues everything we have, if it doesn't contribute to us being better than someone else.”“The inverse of striving for superiority is internal plague by inferiority.”“In Jesus, we see that God's glory is not to dominate but to lift up what is low.”“We constantly compare to feel good about ourselves, and end up unsure of who we are.”“We have been given to ourselves by God—our very existence is a gift, not a merit.”Helpful Links and ResourcesVisit faith.yale.edu/ambition to get a 40-page PDF Discussion Guide and Full Access to 7 videosThe Cost of Ambition by Miroslav Volf (Baker Academic, May 2025)Philippians 2:5–11 (NIV) – Christ's Humility and Exaltation – BibleGatewayRomans 12:10 – “Outdo one another in showing honor” – BibleHubParadise Lost by John Milton – Project GutenbergParadise Regained by John Milton – Project GutenbergShow NotesOpening Reflections on CompetitionThe conversation begins with Volf recalling a talk he gave at the Global Congress on Christianity & Sports.He uses athletic competition—highlighting Lionel Messi—as a lens for questioning the moral value of striving to be better than others.“Sure, competition pulls people up—but it also familiarizes us with inferiority.”“We compare ourselves to feel good… but end up feeling worse.”Introduces the story of Justinian and Hagia Sophia: “Oh Solomon, I have outdone you.”Rivalry, Power, and InsecurityShares the backstory of Juliana's competing church and the gold-ceiling arms race with Justinian.“Religious architecture became a battlefield of status.”Draws insight from these historic rivalries as examples of how ambition pervades religious life—not just secular.Modern Parallels: Yale Students's & the Rat RaceVolf notes how even Yale undergrads—once top of their class—feel insecure in comparison to peers.“They arrive and suddenly their worth plummets. That's insane.”The performance-driven culture makes stable identity nearly impossible.Biblical Illustration: Kierkegaard's LilyVolf recounts Kierkegaard's retelling of Jesus's lily parable.A bird whispers to the little lily that it's not beautiful enough, prompting the lily to uproot itself—and wither.“The lesson: we are destined to lose ourselves when our value depends on comparison.”Intrinsic Value and the Image of God“We need to discover the intrinsic value of who we are as creatures made in the image of God.”Kierkegaard and Jesus both show us the beauty of ‘mere humanity.'“You are more glorious in your humanity than Solomon in his robes.”Theological Anthropology and Grace“We have been given to ourselves by God—our lives are a gift.”“We owe so much to luck, to others, to God. So how can we boast?”Paul's challenge in 1 Corinthians: “What do you have that you have not received?”Milton and Satan's AmbitionShifts to Paradise Lost: Satan rebels because he can't bear not being top.“Even what is beautiful becomes devalued if it doesn't prove superiority.”In Paradise Regained, Satan tempts Jesus to be the greatest—but Jesus refuses.Christ's Humility and Downward GloryHighlights Philippians 2: Jesus “emptied himself… took the form of a servant.”“God's glory is not domination—it's lifting up the lowly.”“Salvation comes not through seizing status, but through relinquishing it.”Paul's Vision of Communal HonorRomans 12:10: “Outdo one another in showing honor.”“True honor comes not from climbing over others, but from lifting them up.”Connects this ethic to Paul's vision of church as an egalitarian body.God's Care for Creation and HumanityLuther's observation: God calls Earth good but not Heaven—“God cares more for our home than his own.”“We are called to emulate God's loving attention to the least.”Striving vs. AcceptanceVolf contrasts ambition with love: “The inverse of striving for superiority is the plague of inferiority.”Encourages unconditional self-love as a reflection of God's love.Uses image of a parent greeting a newborn: “You've arrived.”A Vision for Healed Culture“We wreck others in our pursuit of superiority—and we leave them wounded in our wake.”The gospel reveals a better way: not performance, but grace.“Our salvation and our culture's healing lie in the humility of Jesus.”“We must rediscover the beauty of our mere humanity.”About Miroslav VolfMiroslav Volf is the founding director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture and the Henry B.

Revelation 20 teaches about the binding of Satan. Today, there are some who believe and teach that Satan is currently bound. What does the Bible teach?

Today's Promise: James 5:16 Prayer is a powerful weapon. When you pray, you connect with God and release the power of heaven into any situation. Through prayer, people have been saved, healed, and transformed. You may be thinking that only special and mature Christians can pray effectively. You don't have to have a special anointing or be a preacher to pray with power. When you pray, things happen. God gets involved in the situation and begins working in it. Prayer releases heavenly forces to battle against the work of Satan in a situation.

He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'” “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.”

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." That simple scripture, Romans 12:21, is sparking some thought in us. How do we respond when someone injures our reputation, or our career - or our body? It takes some faith and imagination to believe that my "enemy" might one day be my brother or sister in Christ.

Dr. Alan Kurschner points out a massive inconsistency in the theology of amillennialism that claims that the binding of Satan depicted in Revelation 20:1–3 describes Jesus's victory on the cross. “After these things he must be released for a brief period of time. . . . Now when the thousand years are finished, Satan will […] The post Ask Amillennialists THIS Question appeared first on ESCHATOS MINISTRIES.

In this message, we reflected on the deceptive nature of the world system and God's loving response toward His people. Through Scripture, we explored how God uses chastisement not to condemn us but to keep us aligned with His truth. We considered the role of judgment, prophecy, and obedience in preserving our spiritual identity. We recognized how the world subtly influences thoughts, behaviors, and even religious traditions, often masking rebellion in the guise of culture or progress. By abiding in Christ, walking in truth, and receiving divine counsel, we are called to resist temptation and live as distinct from the world. The meeting closed with gratitude for God's unwavering love, and a prayer for His protection and guidance.

In the shadowy valleys of the Western Alps during the 1430s, a terrifying new narrative emerged that would reshape European understanding of witchcraft forever. What began as isolated tales of individual maleficium transformed into something far more sinister—organized gatherings where witches supposedly flew through the night to renounce Christ, feast on children, and pledge allegiance to Satan himself.Journey with us into the dark imagination of medieval Europe as we explore the birth of the witches' sabbath. These weren't just stories—they were detailed testimonies that religious authorities believed revealed an existential threat to Christendom itself. From the inlands of  Switzerland to the remote mountaintops of France, discover how ancient fears and folklore about nighttime spirits coalesced into a conspiracy theory so powerful it would color centuries of witch hunts.But the sabbath's influence didn't end in medieval Europe. Follow its dark legacy across the Atlantic to the Salem witch trials, where Puritan New England became gripped by visions of devilish sacraments in village pastures. How did these European fantasies of organized devil worship take root in American soil, and what does their evolution tell us about the fears that drive societies to see enemies lurking in their midst?Buy the book: Origins of the Witches Sabbath by Michael D.

The victim mentality has the power to leave you hopeless and helpless. How is the victim mentality influencing your life? Have you been the victim? Are others in your life playing the victim? Where is the victim mentality holding you hostage, parenthood, relationships, career? What is it? In a nutshell, a victim mentality is when someone blames others for their life experiences. In other words, they do not take ownership of, or responsibility for their decisions and actions that resulted in unfavorable circumstances. Experiencing it. If you are the person employing a victim mentality, you are blaming others for things in your life that you are unhappy with. Blaming equates to powerlessness. When you, or others in your life, do not take ownership and consistently blame others, you sacrifice the power to change your circumstances.  Additionally, a victim mentality is characterized by a lack of accountability for one's actions. Likewise, they do not adopt healthy coping mechanisms; instead, they blame others. This can be the result of trauma or past experiences, or it could be an intentional choice. Complaining is a symptom of victimhood, and people deny responsibility or ownership for their part in their circumstances. Blaming others, Satan, or God is quite common when someone chooses victimhood. Blame is the key ingredient of a victim mentality. I've recently heard an overwhelming number of people blame the devil for their current circumstances, be it relationships, financial insecurity, lack of success, emotional chaos within their families, or anxiety. When anyone gives Satan credit for their circumstances, they are rendering themselves powerless to him. Scripture verses that remind us that Satan has no authority over us: Luke 10:19 "See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you." 1 John 4:4 "Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." Colossians 1:13 "He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son," Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."

The second step is to give yourself a social media reset and use the time you've been scrolling to get closer to Jesus. Read the full shownotes and access all links.  

If we could distill the entire Bible into one verse, which verse would you choose? Most people would say that John 3:16 is the message of God's Word in miniature: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." But Jim has a different choice! Today he'll defend his selection of Romans 12:21 as the unified message of the Bible. It's a verse that divides all of humanity!

Satan, whose name means “adversary,” is a created angelic being who once held an exalted position in God's heavenly order. In Ezekiel 28:12-15, under the figure of the king of Tyre, we are given insight into Satan's pre-fall splendor: he was “the anointed cherub who covers,” full of wisdom and perfect in beauty, created blameless until iniquity was found in him. Isaiah 14:12-15, speaking of the fall of “Lucifer, son of the morning” (KJV), reveals the inner ambition of this being who said in his heart, “I will ascend to heaven... I will make myself like the Most High.” These five self-centered declarations form the anatomy of the first sin—prideful rebellion against God's sovereign authority. Though the passage addresses the king of Babylon, the language transcends the human plane, revealing a supernatural reality behind the earthly ruler. Satan's fall was not due to ignorance or weakness, but the willful distortion of his privileged position and beauty, which corrupted his wisdom (Ezek 28:17). His rebellion marked the beginning of moral evil in the universe. When Adam, the original theocratic steward of the earth (Gen 1:26-28), sinned by submitting to Satan's temptation (Gen 3:1-6), dominion was effectively transferred from man to Satan (Luke 4:5-6), who then became “the god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4) and “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31). While God remains sovereign over all (Psa 103:19), Satan now exerts delegated influence over human systems, cultures, and ideologies through deception and darkness (Eph 2:2; 1 John 5:19). Following his fall, Satan became the chief adversary of God, His program, and His people. He is the “god of this world” who blinds the minds of unbelievers (2 Cor 4:4), the “prince of the power of the air” who energizes the sons of disobedience (Eph 2:2), and the “deceiver of the whole world” (Rev 12:9). His access to heaven has not yet been fully revoked, for he presently accuses believers before God, day and night (Job 1:6-12; Rev 12:10). He is active in the affairs of nations (Dan 10:13), sows tares among the wheat (Matt 13:39), and promotes counterfeit signs, doctrines, and ministers (2 Cor 11:13-15; 1 Tim 4:1). Jesus called him a murderer and “the father of lies” (John 8:44). Yet even now, Satan operates only within divinely permitted boundaries—he is a defeated foe on a short leash. At the cross, Christ “disarmed the rulers and authorities,” triumphing over them (Col 2:15), and though Satan remains active, his judgment is certain. His end has already been decreed. Satan's ultimate demise will unfold in stages. During the future Tribulation, he will be cast down from his heavenly access and confined to earth (Rev 12:7-9). Near the end of the Tribulation, he will empower the Beast and the False Prophet in their final global rebellion (Rev 13:2-7). At Christ's Second Coming, Satan will be bound and imprisoned in the abyss for a thousand years during the millennial reign (Rev 20:1-3). After the thousand years, he will be released for one final revolt, gathering the nations for battle against Christ's kingdom, only to be defeated in a moment and cast into the lake of fire, where he will be tormented forever (Rev 20:7-10). This is not annihilation, but conscious, eternal punishment. The irony is profound: the one who said, “I will ascend,” will be brought “down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit” (Isa 14:15). His story ends not with exaltation, but humiliation—forever crushed under the heel of the Sovereign God (Gen 3:15; Rom 16:20). Demons Fallen angels, often referred to as demons, are those angelic beings who chose to rebel against God. Revelation 12:4 suggests that one-third of the angels followed Satan in his rebellion and were cast down with him. These fallen angels became hostile spiritual entities, operating in opposition to God's purposes and in deceptive rebellion against divine truth. Some are active in the present age (Mark 1:32-34), while others are bound in chains awaiting future judgment (Jude 1:6; Rev 9:1-2, 14). Others are active in influencing world leaders, as seen when demonic spirits go out to deceive the kings of the earth and gather them for battle at Armageddon (Rev 16:13-16). Still others are employed by God as agents of discipline and judgment (Judg 9:23; 1 Sam 16:14-16). Demons are consistently depicted in Scripture as unclean spirits (Matt 10:1; Mark 6:7), deceitful and malevolent (1 Tim 4:1; Rev 16:14). They promote false doctrine (1 Tim 4:1), oppose the truth (2 Cor 4:4), and seek to destroy lives, both spiritually and physically (Mark 5:2-5; Luke 9:39). Their activity includes demon possession (Matt 8:16; Mark 9:17-29), where they exert direct control over human faculties, often producing self-harm, mental torment, and violent behavior. While possession is a reality in the Gospels and Acts, believers today are assured they cannot be possessed by demons, for they are indwelt and sealed by the Holy Spirit (John 14:17; 1 Cor 6:19-20; Eph 1:13-14). Still, demons can tempt, oppress, and deceive (Eph 4:26-27; 2 Cor 2:11). Satan, as the leader of fallen angels, is called the “god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4), “prince of the power of the air” (Eph 2:2), and the “accuser of our brethren” (Rev 12:10). He blinds unbelievers, tempts saints, and prowls like a roaring lion seeking to devour (1 Pet 5:8). He is cunning, having disguised himself as an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14), and he works through systems of false religion, secular ideologies, and demonic doctrines to oppose the gospel (Rev 2:13-24; 1 John 4:1-3). His defeat is already secured through Christ's work on the cross (Col 2:15; Heb 2:14), and his final doom awaits in the lake of fire (Rev 20:10). Until then, believers are called to resist him by submitting to God and standing firm in the truth (Jam 4:7; Eph 6:10-18). Our victory is not in power encounters or mystical deliverance rites, but in the sufficiency of Christ, the authority of His Word, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Satan's Strategies to Deceive Satan's primary method of attack is deception. As “the father of lies” (John 8:44), he traffics in half-truths, distortions, and subtle misrepresentations of God's Word. His first recorded words in Scripture are an assault on divine truth: “Indeed, has God said…?” (Gen 3:1). He questioned God's goodness, denied His judgment, and promised a counterfeit enlightenment to Eve (Gen 3:4-5). This pattern persists. Satan's deception often appears religious and even virtuous. He disguises himself as “an angel of light,” and his agents as “servants of righteousness” (2 Cor 11:14-15). He promotes false doctrine that appeals to human pride and legalism (1 Tim 4:1-3), enticing people to trust in rituals, works, or mystical experiences rather than the sufficiency of Christ and the clarity of the gospel (Gal 1:6-9; Col 2:8). He twists Scripture, as he did when tempting Jesus in the wilderness (Matt 4:6), seeking to lead believers into disobedience through misapplied truth. One of his deadliest tools is religious systems that use biblical language but deny grace, subtly shifting trust away from Christ to human performance. Another key strategy Satan uses is infiltration into the thought life of believers. Paul warns of being “led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ” (2 Cor 11:3), and commands believers to “take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor 10:5). Satan sows seeds of fear, anxiety, envy, bitterness, and doubt—undermining the believer's confidence in God's character and promises. He exploits emotional instability, tempts toward discontentment, and entices with worldly lusts (1 John 2:15-17). He is the master of discouragement, often accusing believers and dredging up past failures to immobilize present faith (Rev 12:10). Moreover, Satan creates ideological strongholds—philosophies, political movements, and cultural trends—that oppose biblical truth and condition people to reject the gospel (Col 2:8). He builds systems of thought that appear noble or compassionate but are anchored in rebellion against God. His endgame is to blind minds (2 Cor 4:4), corrupt hearts, and neutralize the impact of God's people. Yet believers are not helpless. By walking in the Spirit, renewing our minds with Scripture, and putting on the full armor of God, we are equipped to stand firm against the schemes of the devil (Eph 6:11-17). How to Be Rescued from Satan's Kingdom All people are born into Satan's domain of darkness, separated from God and spiritually dead in sin (Col 1:13; Eph 2:1-3). But in His grace, God rescues us through the finished work of Christ. At the moment of faith in Jesus—believing that He is the eternal Son of God who died for our sins, was buried, and rose again (1 Cor 15:3-4)—the believer is delivered from the authority of Satan and transferred into the kingdom of God's beloved Son (Col 1:13-14). This transfer is instantaneous, permanent, and entirely the work of God. Justification is by grace alone (Eph 2:8-9), through faith alone (Rom 3:28; Gal 2:16), in Christ alone (John 14:6; Acts 4:12), and results in spiritual rebirth (1 Pet 1:3, 23) and a new identity in Christ (2 Cor 5:17). Though Satan can no longer possess or eternally condemn the believer, he still seeks to deceive, discourage, and derail. The Christian life, therefore, is a spiritual battleground—not for salvation, but for sanctification, fruitfulness, and eternal reward (2 Cor 10:3-5; 1 Cor 3:12-15). To live effectively for the Lord in this fallen world, believers must learn and live God's Word by faith. Scripture is our source of truth and stability in the face of Satan's lies (John 17:17). It nourishes spiritual growth (1 Pet 2:2), renews the mind (Rom 12:2), and equips us for every good work (2 Tim 3:16-17). As we walk by faith and are filled with the Spirit (2 Cor 5:7; Eph 5:18), prayer becomes the posture of dependence—bringing our needs, confessions, thanksgiving, and intercessions before the throne of grace (Phil 4:6-7; Heb 4:16). Sharing the gospel is both our privilege and duty, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Rom 1:16), and through it, others can be rescued from darkness as we were. Doing good—as God defines it—is not about self-promotion or religious performance, but humble service empowered by the Spirit and aligned with divine truth (Gal 6:10; Tit 2:11-14). As we abide in Christ, our lives bear fruit—bringing glory to God and blessing to others (John 15:5-8). This is how we shine as lights in the world and stand firm against the darkness—not in fear, but in confident obedience to the One who saved us by grace and sustains us through truth (Phil 2:15-16; Eph 6:10-13). The Christian Armor Paul concludes his letter to the Ephesians with a powerful call to spiritual readiness: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might” (Eph 6:10). The verb endunamoō (“be strong”) is in the passive voice, indicating that believers are to be strengthened by God, not by self-effort. This strength comes in the Lord (en kyriō), through dependence on His strength and might. The believer stands not in personal resolve, but in the resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead (Eph 1:18-20). To walk in that strength, we are commanded to “put on the full armor of God” (panoplia), a reference to the complete suit of Roman military equipment—every piece essential for defense and stability (Eph 6:11). The goal is not to attack, but “to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” The term methodeias refers to Satan's cunning strategies—his deceitful systems, twisted half-truths, and subversive ideologies designed to lead believers astray. Paul clarifies that our conflict is not “against flesh and blood” but against unseen forces of spiritual evil (Eph 6:12). The battle is not political or cultural at its root, but spiritual. Demonic powers are organized in ranks—rulers, authorities, world-rulers of this darkness, and spiritual forces of wickedness—and they operate in the heavenly realms. For this reason, Paul repeats the command to take up the full armor of God so that we may resist in “the evil day” (Eph 6:13)—those seasons of intense spiritual assault. The goal, repeated throughout the passage, is to stand, firm and immovable. Victory is not flashy or mystical; it is doctrinal, daily, and practical. We are to gird our loins with truth (Eph 6:14)—that is, fasten ourselves with God's revealed Word, which brings stability and prepares us for action. The breastplate of righteousness refers not to justification but to sanctification—practical righteousness that guards the inner life and silences Satan's accusations (1 Pet 3:16). A holy life is one of the best defenses against spiritual attack. Paul next highlights the footwear of the believer: “having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace” (Eph 6:15). This speaks of readiness and sure-footedness. Just as Roman soldiers wore sandals studded with nails for grip, the believer stands firm when grounded in the gospel. The peace we have with God through Christ (Rom 5:1) brings confidence and steadiness in battle. Then comes the shield of faith (Eph 6:16)—the thyreon, a large Roman shield used to block arrows. Faith is trust in God's person and promises, and it extinguishes the devil's flaming arrows—temptations, accusations, and lies. When doubts or fears are hurled at the soul, faith deflects them with the truth of God's character (1 John 5:4). The helmet of salvation (Eph 6:17) protects the mind, pointing not only to justification, but also to our future glorification—our hope in Christ's return and full deliverance (1 Th 5:8-9). Lastly, the believer takes up “the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” This is the machaira, a short sword for close combat, and the word rhēma refers to the spoken Word—specific Scriptures applied in real-time spiritual conflict. Just as Jesus used Scripture in the wilderness to deflect Satan's temptations (Matt 4:1-11), so must we. The Spirit empowers the believer not with mystical formulas, but with rightly understood and applied Scripture. Victory in spiritual warfare belongs to those who abide in Christ, walk by faith, think biblically, and live obediently—not in fear, but in confidence grounded in divine truth. Conclusion In the end, the study of angels, Satan, and demons grounds the believer in spiritual reality. It helps us interpret the chaos of our world through the lens of God's revealed truth, not mere human observation. We are reminded that unseen spiritual agents—both holy and hostile—operate within the bounds of God's sovereign rule, and that we are not spectators, but participants in an ongoing conflict between truth and deception, light and darkness. Our calling is not to speculate about the invisible, but to stand firm in what God has revealed. As we obey His commands, share His gospel, and endure in hope, we bring glory to the One who has already secured the final victory. And so, we press on—not with fear, but with clarity, confidence, and courage, knowing that the Lord of hosts is with us, and the battle is the Lord's (1 Sam 17:47; Rom 8:37-39). Steven R. Cook, D.Min., M.Div.

If you've listened to Keeping It Young for long, you've probably heard Dave refer to the "family altar" but what exactly does he mean when he says that? The next few episodes will explain exactly what he means! In this episode, you heard Dave and Bethlie reference a past episode on Deuteronomy 6. Here is the link to part 1 of that 7 episode series. Here are the notes from today's episode. The Family Altar What is a family altar? The family altar refers to the way a Christian family regularly prays together. It is different than grace at a table. It is a daily time that frequently includes Scripture combined with prayers The family altar is: A family altar is a designated space or time in a home dedicated to religious or spiritual practices, often involving prayer, worship, and study of sacred texts. It serves as a focal point for family devotions, fostering a sense of unity, spiritual growth, and connection to faith. The specific elements and practices associated with a family altar can vary greatly depending on the family's religious or spiritual tradition.  An “on purpose way” for a family to regularly learn spiritual truth and traditions The family altar — a designated time and place at home where the family comes together to pray, worship and experience the living God — is like a firewall against Satan's schemes. Show me a family altar, and I will show you an atmosphere of faith and a house where God's presence resides.-Samuel Rodriquez, Influence Magazine The term “family altar” speaks to a time when the leader of the home gathers the family together to focus on God. For some families, that may mean once a week. It could be Sunday evening as the family prepares for another week. It could be Saturday evening as they family prepares their heart for worship with their church the next morning. Other families might practice it everyday at the breakfast table or at nighttime prayers. Why is the family altar important? God says so – that's why! Here are just a few of the examples of God's stance on the family altar: Abraham was told to teach his children so that following generations would know the Lord (Gen. 18:19). Moses taught that parents were to teach their children to love the Lord all throughout the day (Deut. 6:7). The psalmist taught the necessity of God's people declaring God's greatness to the next generations (Ps. 78:3-7). Solomon taught that if you trained a child in the Lord, they would not depart from that way (Prov. 22:6). Fathers were instructed to teach children in the instruction of the Lord (Eph. 6:4). Why should we have one? It builds unity in a family It teaches Bible truths systematically to our children It makes a statement that our faith is real and valid It focuses our attention on our God It helps to foster peace in the home It is a way to influence our children on a daily basis It provides a way for us to obey the Scriptures regarding our family Links: Want to hear Pastor Dave Young preach?

"Comeuppance" is a word we need to bring back! "Punishment" and "retribution" are good words. But there's just something satisfying about the villain finally getting his comeuppance! In Romans 12, Paul uses the word "Wrath." And today Jim will show that God's wrath is better than our wrath - for at least a couple of reasons. Here's Part 2 of his sermon, Stretch Your Credibility.

Our spiritual hearts, the source of our faith and God's love, face three major threats: Satan's attacks, worldly influences, and our own sinful nature. These threats create spiritual heart conditions that parallel physical heart problems: inflammation from Satan's lies, clogging from worldly values, and inherent flaws from our sinful nature. Healing begins with submitting to God, being honest about our condition, approaching God with humility rather than pride, allowing the Holy Spirit to examine us, and being completely transparent with God. By guarding our hearts as Solomon advised, we can ensure God's grace flows freely through our lives.

As we conclude this series, we give voice to the prophet Amos. God's people find themselves entangled in the system of the Satan, and God's justice will not remain silent. Yet, divine justice is always bound to divine mercy. A new day is coming—a day marked by hope, justice, and righteousness. In the meantime, followers of Jesus are invited to learn from this vision and actively participate in God's new creation now. Scripture: Amos

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMARTES, 22 DE JULIOLAS TRES PRIMERAS PLAGASAunque los magos parecían producir ranas como Moisés y Aarón, no podían eliminarlas. Cuando el Faraón vio que los magos no podían detener la plaga ni eliminar las ranas, se sintió un poco humillado, y quiso que Moisés y Aarón suplicaran al Señor por él para que eliminara la plaga de las ranas. Empezaba a saber algo acerca de aquel Dios del que se declaraba totalmente ignorante. Moisés y Aarón le habían dicho al Faraón que ellos no producían las ranas por magia, ni por ningún poder que poseyeran; que Dios, el Dios viviente, las había hecho venir por su poder, y que solo él podía eliminarlas. Previamente, el Faraón se había jactado ante Moisés y Aarón, porque los magos podían con sus encantamientos hacer aparecer las mismas cosas. Cuando pidió a Moisés que suplicara al Señor por él, este le recordó su anterior altanería y jactancia a causa de las obras realizadas por sus magos; y preguntó al Faraón dónde estaba ahora su vanagloria, y dónde estaba el poder de aquellos magos para eliminar la plaga. El Señor escuchó las súplicas de Moisés y detuvo la plaga de ranas. Cuando el rey se vio aliviado de su angustia inmediata, volvió a negarse obstinadamente a libertar a Israel. Moisés y Aarón, por orden del Señor, hicieron que el polvo de la tierra se convirtiera en piojos a lo largo de toda la tierra de Egipto. El faraón llamó a los magos para que se pre-sentaran ante él para hacer lo mismo con sus encantamientos, pero no pudieron. Moisés y Aarón, los siervos de Dios, por orden suya, produje-ron la plaga de los piojos. Los magos, siervos de Satanás, por mandato de este, procuraron producir lo mismo con sus encantamientos, pero no pudieron. La obra de Dios se mostró superior al poder de Satanás; pues los magos con sus encantamientos solo podían realizar unas pocas hazañas. Cuando los magos vieron que no podían producir los piojos, dijeron a Faraón: "Entonces los hechiceros dijeron a Faraón: Dedo de Dios es este. Mas el corazón de Faraón se endureció, y no los escuchó, como Jehová lo había dicho" (Spiritual Gifts, t. 3, pp. 208, 209). Faraón llamó a los hechiceros para que obraran con sus encantamientos. También ellos realizaron señales y maravillas, porque Satanás vino en su ayuda para trabajar por medio de ellos. Sin embargo, aun en esto la obra de Dios resultó superior al poder de Satanás, porque los hechiceros no pudieron llevar a cabo todos los milagros que Dios había realizado mediante Moisés. Pudieron duplicar solamente algunos de ellos. Las varas de los hechiceros se convirtieron en serpientes, pero la vara de Aarón se comió a todas las demás. Después que los hechiceros procuraron producir piojos, pero fracasaron, fueron compelidos por el poder de Dios a reconocer lo siguiente: "Dedo de Dios es este". Éxodo 8:19. Satanás obró mediante los hechiceros en una forma calculada para endurecer el corazón del tirano Faraón contra las milagrosas manifestaciones del poder de Dios. Satanás pensó hacer vacilar la fe de Moisés y Aarón en el origen divino de su misión, y entonces sus instrumentos, los magos, prevalecerían. Satanás no estaba dispuesto a que el pueblo de Israel fuera liberado de la servidumbre egipcia, para que pudiera servir a Dios (Spiritual Gifts, t. 4, p. 82; parcialmente en Testimonios para la Iglesia, t. 1, p. 263). 

Jesus's death and burial means that I must die to myself. I won't experience His power until I surrender my former way of life. To be raised to new life, the old self must die and be buried. That means coming to Jesus is about surrender. For “those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (Gal. 5:24). When we met Nicodemus in John 3, he was a scared and lost man. He was drawn to Jesus, but he came to Him by night because he was not ready to let go of his former way of life. Nicodemus now takes part in burying Jesus's body, signaling that his old self was dead and new life had arrived! “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). Take-Home Message: Jesus's finished work has finished me. Jesus's death petitions me to die (28-30). “It is finished” means… Separation is finished.Sin is finished.Satan is finished.Death is finished.I am finished. Jesus's piercing permits me to be passed over (31-37). Bible references: 1 Jn. 5:6-8; Jn 7:38-39; Nu 9:12; Ex 12:46; Ps 34:20; Zech 12:10; 13:1 Jesus's burial prepares me for a new life (38-42). Message: It is Finished Scripture: John 19:28-42 Simple.

What do Satan, a horny goat god, and lettuce soaked in semen have in common? They were all part of the ancient blueprint for the devil we know today. In this minisode, we finish our whirlwind tour of the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean gods who got retrofitted into Christianity's ultimate villain.From Hades and Pan to Set and Apep, we explore how early Christians demonized other people's gods, turning fertility symbols into hellish nightmares and chaotic uncles into eternal enemies. Along the way, you'll meet tricksters, chaos monsters and mythological disasters that would absolutely get cancelled in 2025.Original comedy sketches, Satanic sass and a warning: this one's not safe for your Sunday school teacher. #satan#mythology#greekgods#hell#ancientegypt#atheistcomedy#religionsatire#satanicpanic#hornygods#historypodcast#devilhornsgoddammit

the night.Isn't it been like three weeks since the 4th of July?I just don't get it.And then when I fell asleep, I couldn't stay asleep.I have a bed that's too small.I have a room that gets way too hot.I have a pillow that isn't comfortable at all.And I just set the alarm really early this morning.So I had to wake up and look presentable for all of you.And I stubbed my toe really hard and it still hurts.Oh, and I forgot to iron all my clothes.So I had to do it all this morning.So I was way later than I wanted to be.And so I was driving here.I got stuck behind the slowest drivers in the entire world.That just drives me insane.It's like, don't you want to get where you want to goin this century?You may not have things that you want to do,but there's things that I need to do.So move

people's complainingsounds to you, how do you think your complainingsounds to them?Not much different.Let's up the ante even more.How do you think your constant complaining sounds to God?Do you think He appreciates it?No, He does not.I know that complaining is bad for me and offends God.And I am very sure that most of youknow that complaining is bad for you and offends God.So why do we keep doing it?What is going on within us?Well, this is the third week in our latest series calledHeart Problems.What to do when you don't want God?Over the past two Sundays, we've identified two different heartproblems and their surgical solutions according to God'sword.We began by evaluating our hearts to see how serious of a heartsurgery we truly need.And last week, we discovered the heart problem of hidden sin.And the surgical solution to that problemis confession from the heart.And this morning, we will unpack a third heart problemand its surgical solution from Psalm 138.Psalm 138.Your heart problem this morning couldbe that you have a serious infection of negativityand complaining.You struggle to truly appreciate all that God has given to youbecause you are so fixated on everythingthat God has not given to you.In your mind, you deserve better.You deserve more.You deserve what you want.Does that describe you right now?How do you fix this heart problem?The surgical solution to a negative and discontent heartis passionate praise and true thanksgiving.You must actually give thanks from your heart.So before we look into the solution any further,let's go to the Lord and ask for his help.Please pray for me, and I will pray for you.Father, we come to you with one of our greatest struggles,with something that I am very sure that every single personin this room struggles with.Lord, minister to us in the way that only you can.Challenge us, convict us, but also comfort us and build us up.We thank you in advance for what you will do.We ask all this in the beautiful, wonderful, powerful nameof Jesus Christ.Amen.If you are able, please stand in reverencefor the reading of God's Word as we read Psalm 138.I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart.Before the gods, I sing your praise.I bow down toward your holy templeand give thanks to your name for your steadfast loveand your faithfulness.For you have exalted above all things your name and your word.On the day I called, you answered me.My strength of soul, you increasedall the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord,for they have heard the words of your mouth.And they shall sing of the ways the Lord for greatis the glory of the Lord.For though the Lord is high, He regards the lowly,but the haughty He knows from afar.Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life.You stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,and your right hand delivers me.The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me.Your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.Do not forsake the work of your hands.You may be seated.As you study this Psalm, you can'thelp but notice that David's Thanksgiving is divided upinto three different sections--the past, the present, and the future.In this Psalm, David slides back and forthon the timeline of history to find reasons to praise the Lordand give Him thanks for His actions and His attributes.And I want you to follow David's lead this morning.I want you to be on the lookout for reasonsto give thanks with your whole heart for what God hasdone in your past, what He is doing in your present,and what He will do in the future.So I give thanks to my whole heart, firstly,because God has proven His reliability to me in the past.I give thanks with my whole heart,because God has proven His reliability to me in the past.So David starts this Psalm by declaringhis complete and total devotion to the Lord.Let's read verses 1 through 2 again.I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart,before the gods I sing your praise,I bow down towards your holy templeand give thanks to your name for your steadfast loveand your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all thingsyour name and your word.This isn't the prayer of a man who is dispassionate and disconnected.This isn't the prayer of a man going through the motions.David is overflowing with gratitude for God's faithfulness,His love, and His power.David is saying, "The false gods of the other nationsare worthless idols.They get nothing from me while God gets everything from me.They get my ridicule.God gets my praise.Their words are worthless and accomplish nothingwhile God's word never fails me.Their names do not matter while God's name is infinite."David doesn't offer God some of his heart or even most of his heart.He offers God his whole heart.This is what God wants and deserves from David.This is also what God wants and deserves from you.God isn't worthy of your leftovers.He is worthy of your best.God doesn't want you just to thank Him when you remember.He doesn't want you to treat Him like the teenage cashier at the ice cream shop,who you begrudgingly tip with the slowest amount possiblewhen the iPad screen is flipped around."Ah, fine. I guess I'll do it if I have to."Is that kind of attitude honoring to God?Not on any level, but that is often how we approach giving Him the creditthat He deserves.Instead of stopping what we're doing to give Him a heartfelt thank you,we throw a quick three-second prayer up to Himthat is devoid of any emotion and energy.Instead of immediately praising Him,we immediately move on to the next thing and the next big concern.This half-heartedness drains you of your joy.This half-heartedness gives you spiritual amnesia.You forget what God has done for you in the past,so you trust in yourself moving forward.In verse 3, David gets very specific with his thanksgivingand remembers how God has come through for him in the past."On the day I called, you answered,'My strength of soul,' you increased.I am well aware that some of you are telophonophobics.You hate talking on the phone.When someone calls, you panic.When you know you have to call someone else,you secretly hope that they won't pick up.But even you telophonophobics in the roomhave had to make calls that you needed someone to answer.Maybe you had an urgent question that required an immediate answer.Maybe it was a serious issue at work that you need to solve right now.Maybe it was even a matter of life or death.Every single person in this room has a call of this kind in their past.Put yourself into that tense mindset.Try to remember how you felt.Let me ask you, when you called, did that person answer?Did they come through for you?Other people cannot always come through for youno matter how reliable they might seem.Friends and family members cannot always answer when you call.But that is not true of God.He always picks up.He always answers.God doesn't screen your prayer to say to himself,"Ah, this guy again.I don't have time to deal with him right now."That has never happened.God doesn't send you to voicemail.God is always ready and willing to answer you when you call.But God's help may not come in the form that you expected or hoped for.At some point, every single one of us in this roomhave had this exact thought or said this exact thing.God didn't answer my prayer.Is that true?Well, it really depends on what you mean by answer.If by answer you mean that God says yes,then God didn't answer your prayer.But that definition captures our experience of the situationmore than the reality of the situation.It captures our feelings more than the facts.That definition misses the big picture of what God is up to behind the scenes.God answering your prayers doesn't mean that He always answers with a yes.But it does mean that God always responds.And sometimes that response is no or wait.And you never want that answer, do you?I never want that answer either.Again, every single one of us in this room can think of a timewhen we called to God and He answered with a no.You prayed for healing and healing didn't come.You asked for that big promotionand it went to someone far less deserving.You asked for the Lord to use your witnessing, your positive exampleto make an impact on your prodigal child, but there is no positive reception.You call to the Lord and ask for that baby that you've always wanted,but that room is still empty.That no can be so confusing and devastating.What reason could God possibly have to say no to that request?I don't know.I don't want to patronize you or minimize your pain.I don't want to give you a hallmark card answer and tell you that do not be sad and upset.Listen, it's okay to be sad and upset.Seasons of sorrow are unavoidable.I've gone through these times in the past and I will again.You've gone through these times of sorrow and you may be experiencing it right now.I truly don't know the exact reason that God said no to that request when you called to Him.But He does.God never says no for no reason.Everything He does is purposeful.God never wastes your pain.Everything you go through has meaning.As I meditated upon these truths over the past week, I couldn't help but think of the hymn,"God moves in a mysterious way," which says this,"judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust Him for His grace.Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face.God's purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour.The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower."Why God said no back then may never make sense in this life.But it will in eternity.And those times when God said no often drown out and obscure the times that He said yes.So I want you to stop focusing on the no's for a minute.I want you to start thinking about the times when you called to God and He answered youwith a yes.Consider that.Were you able to think of some clear examples when God said yes and proved His reliabilityto you in the past?Maybe you experienced a season of dark, deep depression.You called out to God and He answered you with a yes by sending you a friend who lovedyou, who encouraged you, who prayed for you, who listened to you.Maybe you called out to God when you had no idea how to handle a specific situation andHe gave you a yes by providing you wisdom from His Word.Maybe you experienced a broken relationship and you called out to God and He answeredwith a yes by bringing restoration and putting all the pieces back together again.Or how about the most important yes of all?You realized you were a sinner.You called out to God asking for forgiveness and salvation and God answered with a yesby giving it to you.I could keep going for days, weeks, months and years because there is no end to whatGod has done for you.Friends, God has been so good to you in the past.Do you recognize that?Do you believe that?There have been so many times when you recognized His goodness and you praised Him for it.But there have been many more times when you didn't recognize His goodness or praise Him.And thankfully God's goodness wasn't taken away from you when you didn't recognize it.God still gives good gifts to His children even when His children don't say thank you.But in those moments when you didn't acknowledge what God had done and say thank you to Him,the strength of your soul was diminished and depleted.Your strength of soul was like a balloon and ungratefulness was the needle that poppedthat balloon and left it deflated on the floor.That may be how you feel this morning.You're just deflated.You're just kind of there.You're down and out.Could it be that you have a heart problem because you were ungrateful for what God hasdone for you?No matter how hard your life has been, God's fingerprints of kindness are all over yourstory.You simply need the eyes of faith to see these evidences of grace or you'll miss them completely.Like David, give thanks with your whole heart because God has proven His reliability toyou in the past.Give thanks with your whole heart for what God has done for you and your strength ofsoul will be increased.I give thanks with my whole heart because God is at work in my life right now.Because God is at work in my life right now.I'm going to break some preaching rules here for a minute.Who wants to break the rules with me?All right, some of you, most of your rulekeepers besides Darlet and Jay, I guess we'll go withit.So, we're going to skip past verses 4 through 5 for now.We're not going to skip them entirely.We'll come back to them.We're going to move on to verses 6 through 7.Don't worry this will all make sense very soon.We spent some time focusing on what God has done for David.Now let's focus on what God is doing for David in verses 6 through 7.For though the Lord is high, He regards the lowly, but the haughty He knows from afar.Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life.You stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies and your right hand deliversme.We don't know the backstory of the Psalm or what kind of trouble David is experiencing.All we know is he needs his life to be preserved.He has enemies that the Lord needs to stretch out his hands against.David needs deliverance.Your problems seem like the biggest deal in the entire world, don't they?When you're going through trouble, you often feel like you're the only one in the entireworld who is experiencing what you're experiencing.Is that actually the case?Not at all.Literally every person in the world has something going on right now.Everyone has a problem.Everyone has trouble.And David is well aware where his life, where his troubles, where his problems rank on theorder of importance.Compared to God, he is nothing and nobody.David acknowledges that he is lowly.But he actually rejoices in that truth because even though the Lord is high, He regards thelowly, but the haughty, the proud, the arrogant He knows from afar.If you exalt yourself to the position of the movie star of your life, you will not be ina position to receive God's help.You will dismiss what he has to offer.But if you rightly acknowledge that God is the star, you will receive help from Him.God is big, but He still loves little people.God is great, but He still blesses the unremarkable.God is supremely important, but He still serves the unimportant.You may be painfully aware that you are unimportant, unremarkable, and little.But that is a good thing.That means the Lord has regard for you.God cares for you.He pays attention to you.God's helping hand is offered to you at all times.You can either push away this helping hand in pride or you can grab ahold of it in humility.I need God's help right now.You need God's help right now.You are in the midst of some kind of trouble.Maybe you're being attacked.Someone at work is gunning for you.A family member or friend is making life miserable for you.Your integrity is being called into question.You may have a target on your back, but God preserves your life.You may have enemies who are seeking to destroy you, but God stretches out His hand againstthe wrath of your enemies.His right hand delivers you.Fair warning.God may not deliver you from experiencing that hardship, but He delivers you from givingup as you experience that hardship.His right hand delivers you from anger, bitterness, resentment, isolation.You may be enduring the most intense season of temptation you've ever encountered.You feel like you can't say no one more time that any day now you're going to break.You can stand strong because God preserves you.He stretches, will stretch His hand against that temptation.If you believe that He can, His right hand delivers you from giving in.Listen to this promise from 1 Corinthians 10.13.No temptation is overtaking you that is not common to man.God is faithful and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with thetemptation He will provide the way of escape that you may be able to endure it.Something that God has taught me recently is that He most often delivers you throughtrust and His promises.There is nothing more powerful and dependable than a promise from God.If you're experiencing intense temptation, grab ahold of this promise and don't let goso you will experience deliverance and find the way of escape.Maybe you need delivered from the ultimate enemies of Satan, sin, and death.You are under the power of the evil one in this evil world.You are a slave to sin.You are bound for eternal death.You are like that toddler running towards the road and there will be a horrible fateunless that child is grasped by a loving father.Ask this father to preserve you and give you eternal life.Ask him to stretch out His hand against the wrath of your enemies.Ask for His right hand to grab ahold of you and deliver you from the fate that you deserve.A truck of hell is barreling down.But God will rescue you if you ask Him to.No matter what trouble you are walking through, God is at work in your life right now.You can't say, "Yeah, God sure was at work back in the day, but He hasn't done anythingfor me lately."No, God is preserving your life even when you don't know it.He is stretching out His hand against enemies that you don't even know you have.God is delivering you all the time.God isn't like the lifeguards at the pool or the beach who clock in and clock out.For many hours of the day, their floatation devices are hung up and those chairs are empty.But God is always on duty.He keeps you from drowning.He keeps your head above water.God is always on His heavenly throne.In the Psalm 121, 1-4, "I lift up my eyes to the hills from where does my help comefrom?My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.He will not let your foot be moved.He who keeps you will not slumber.Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep."God is not asleep on the job.God is not taking a break.He is not packing up His office.God is helping you.God is fighting for you.Give thanks with your whole heart because God is at work in your life right now.I give thanks with my whole heart, finally, because God will not give up on me in thefuture.Because God will not give up on me in the future.Let's rewind back to verses 4 through 5, but this rewind is actually a fast forward asDavid gives thanks for what God will do."All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord, for they have heard the wordsof your mouth, and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord for great is the glory ofthe Lord."In 2025, this scene seems very unlikely, doesn't it?I mean, how many presidents, politicians, dictators, and governments truly fear Godand worship Him?Not many.God is openly mocked and dishonored.His people are belittled.People are even put into prison and martyred for their faith.So many world leaders do not recognize the one who put them into power in the first place.But despite this hostility, the message of the gospel is still advancing and spreadingamong the nations.People of different backgrounds, positions, and levels of influence are hearing the wordsof God's mouth, being saved, giving thanks, and praising Him.In one day, all leaders of the earth will retire from their positions and vacate theiroffices as one rightful ruler reigns supreme.And who is this rightful ruler?Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords.And Paul speaks to this future in Philippians 2, 9 through 11."Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name as above every name,so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth,and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father."One day there will be no more elections, no more protests, no more corruption, no morepolitical news channels, no more war, no more threat of nuclear attack.There will be only praise and thanksgiving.The glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.And this future isn't maybe a might be or let's hope so.No, this future is set in stone.It is certain fact.You can resist it all you want, but it will come to pass.While the immediate future of this world is uncertain, God's ultimate future is not inquestion.In verse 8, "Folks is on David's future and the purpose that God has for David's life,his throne, and his house.The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me.Your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.Do not forsake the work of your hands."The same God who will cause kings and leaders to bow down before him will fulfill David'spurpose as well.Actually, it is through fulfilling David's purpose that God will fulfill this ultimatefuture for his people and his creation.Help me with a quick reminder.From whose family line does King Jesus come?From King David's line.Listen to the promise that the Lord made to David in 2 Samuel 7.16, "And your house andyour kingdom shall be made sure forever, before me your throne shall be established forever."This purpose has been fulfilled and will further be fulfilled in Christ.This promise has been kept and will be further kept in Christ.David's throne has been established and will be established forever.And the one who sits on this throne is none other than Jesus Christ himself.He trusts in God's future plans.But he still cries out to the Lord and offers this prayer, "Do not forsake the work of yourhands."This may sound like doubt, but it isn't.This is a cry of dependence and neediness.David is saying, "God, please keep your promises to me.Without you, I am completely sunk.Do not forsake the work of your hands."This has become my new favorite prayer request.I've lost count of how many times I've prayed it over the past week, and you should prayit as well.God, keep your promise.Do not forsake the work of your hands.David's personal future is set in stone.It is a certain fact.The same is true for you if you're a follower of Christ.God will fulfill His purpose for you.He will keep every single promise that He has made to you in His Word.His steadfast love for you will endure forever.If you don't believe me, Paul backs up this truth in Philippians 1-6, and I am sure ofthis that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day ofJesus Christ.Jude 1-24, that God will keep you from stumbling and present you blameless before the presenceof His glory with great joy.The steadfastness of God is so foreign to us because we give up on things all the time.You start a brand new read that you're so excited for, but then it puts you to sleepso that you sell it, you send it to good will, you put it back on the shelf.You watch a movie that's boring so you turn it off.You start a new diet or exercise routine, but you get distracted and you give up onthat.You start a new hobby, but you get very distracted and very bored very quickly.You start something, but you don't finish it.God never does that.God doesn't operate like that at all.God will not forsake the work of His hands.God will not give up on you someday.God will hold on to you.He will finish what He started in you.It's so easy to believe these truths intellectually, but it's hard to feel in your heart.You often feel that God's love for you is an up and down, up and down roller coasterthat's based on your performance.If you're a good boy or a good girl, God's happy with you.If you're a bad boy or a bad girl, God's very unhappy with you.But God's love for you doesn't depend upon you and your performance at all.God's love for you depends on Christ and His perfect performance on your behalf.If God's love for me depended on my good deeds, my good works, He would have stoppedloving me a long time ago.But because His love depends on Christ, who is perfect and obeyed in every way that I'vefailed, His love for me will last forever and ever and ever.And that is true for you if you belong to Him.If you have trusted in Christ, God gives you the same exact message that I give to my kidsevery single night before I put them to bed.I love you when you're good.I love you when you're bad.I love you when you listen.I love you when you don't listen.I'm your dad no matter what.Isn't the assurance of God's love a cause for celebration?Isn't His steadfastness worthy of your thanksgiving and your praise?Instead of stressing out about what's ahead, choose to give thanks with your whole heartbecause God will not give up on you in the future.Give thanks with your whole heart for what God will do.I doubt that anyone in this room has a heart that is completely free from negativity andcomplaining.You and I complain about something every single day.And many of us complain about many things most days.Discontentment is a serious heart problem that you shouldn't take lightly.Disatisfaction is an acid that eats away your heart, your ministry, your walk with the Lord.The only surgical solution to that heart problem of ingratitude is gratitude.You must give thanks.It's not enough to just feel thankful.You have to verbalize it.You have to express it.You must acknowledge and verbalize your thankfulness for the attributes and actions of God.We've spent a lot of time talking about giving thanks.But it would be a big failure on my part if I didn't give you the opportunity to actuallygive thanks.In a moment, you will find some people around you and you're going to praise the Lord togetherwith your whole hearts.Come together to give thanks for who God is.Think about this God we saw in Psalm 138.He is loving.He is steadfast.He is faithful.He is glorious.He is worthy.He is high and exalted.He is the King of all.He is the Preserver and Sustainer.He is a promise keeper.Also give thanks with your whole hearts for what God has done, what He is doing, and whatHe will do.So find some people around you and give thanks together.Father, we come to you and we thank you so much, first and foremost, for the gift ofyour Son.We thank you that your Son came to live a perfect life because we never could.And He endured hell on the cross so that we could experience heaven forever.Well, there are people in this room who don't have the hope of heaven, that don't have atrue relationship with Christ, may today be the day of salvation.So that they can give thanks to you both now and forever.Thanks for the rest of us, Lord, help us to continually give thanks, to not give ourselvesover to discontentment and complaining, but to always recognize your goodness.And to know that every single day is a fresh pouring out of your mercy and your grace forus.We thank you for what you have done.We thank you for what you are doing, and we thank you for what you will do.We ask all these things in Jesus' name, amen.

In a recent Barna study, a mere one fifth of self-identified Christians believe that Satan is living and impactful. However, the Bible is clear that Satan is not only a real, living being, but he is also hard at work in our world seeking to wreak havoc and oppose God and those who follow God. In today's message, Pastor Austin unpacks the “ministry” of Satan so that we don't fall prey to the strategies of the Enemy.

Pastor Wyatt Brown Listen Watch

Psalm 93,The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed; he has put on strength as his belt.Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.2 Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring.4 Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the Lord on high is mighty!5 Your decrees are very trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O Lord, forevermore. Most mornings in the Schumann household start out the same way. Following time in the word, we make a round of toast with peanut butter and honey for everyone at the table. Next, if it's nice, we go outside for a walk or scooter ride around the block. After that, I get ready for work, grab my lunch, and then right before leaving, ask each of our kids three questions. They are the exact same questions every single morning.Who is the king of the world?Who are the king's people?And, What is better than being the king's people?Just about every morning in our house starts out this way and has now for quite some time. There are easier, simpler ways we start out a morning. For one, we could just skip the questions. I mean, the same three questions every single morning? Is that really necessary? Is that really worth slowing your progress out the door? I think it is. And the reason I think that is because none of us ever truly knows what the day ahead of us is really going to bring — it may be a whole set of circumstances that leave you feeling completely disorienting. Significantly unsteadied. Life can tend to do that kind of thing, you know. It can tend to knock-us-off-balance just when we're least expecting it. Each day carries with it the potential for quite the barrage of disorienting experiences: A suddenly fractured friendship you thought would stand the test of time, shocking news of a failed marriage you believed stood as solid as a pillar, an unforeseen illness in place of ongoing health, an unexpected accident in place of continued safety, loss of trust in someone you had thought trustworthy, or loss of life in someone you had thought invincible.Life can be disorienting. Any given day can leave you feeling turned totally upside down. And that's why, coffee in hand, backpack on shoulders, about to head to work, I ask our kids the questions: Who is the king of the world?Who are the king's people?And, What is better than being the king's people?And then, I listen for the answers we've taught them. Who is the king of the world? God is the king of the world.Who are the king's people? We are the king's people.And, What is better than being the king's people? There is nothing better than being the king's people. That is the message I hope to give my kids every single morning, and it is the message I believe Psalm 93 aims to give us this morning. Cities Church: God is the king of the world. Psalm 93 invites us to anchor ourselves to that truth, that we might be able to ride out all life's disorienting storms.Let's pray and ask for God's help before going any further. King Over the WorldSo, Psalm 93 — God is king over the world. More specifically, God is king over the world's future, its floods, it's faithful. Let's begin with what it means for God to be king more generally, then we'll consider his kingship over the future, floods, and faithful. So, God is king over the world. Beginning with verse one:“the Lord reigns.” The Lord reigns. He reigns. He does not merely manage or supervise — he reigns. As a verb, reign pertains to the realm of royalty. Reigning involves sitting upon a throne, wielding complete authority, and bearing the title “king.”And, this is something God does by right, for his kingly throne is “from of old.” Verse 2,“Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.”So, verse one, God is king, and, verse two, his status as king is no new thing. He is king and he has been king, and there has never been a time, or a world, in which God was not King.Go ahead, take all of reality, all that has ever been, bind it all together into a single book. Turn to its very last pages and then start flipping backward. You'll just keep seeing it over and over again — God seated upon a throne. Brothers and sisters, the empires of our world are as a blink of an eye compared to the reign of God. Entire royal lines — a snap of the fingers. The timeline of the universe is the timeline of God's reign.So, God is king. God reigns as king, and he does so, still verse one, “robed in majesty.”“The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty;” You've all seen movies or books where ancient kings have been depicted. Sometimes they're clothed in garments of purple laced with gold, or a cloak of red with white and black-dotted collar. King Aragorn kind of ends up with this cool black cloak with the white tree insignia — that one's pretty cool. Take all those images together, the basic idea is the same: kings set themselves apart from others by way of clothing. They choose, from all the finest clothing in the land, garments to signify their unique position. They adorn themselves, and they do so with articles of clothing that are exterior, outside themselves.The image here of God, the true High King, is similar — but not the same. Verse one describes the Great King's attire, but with one major difference. Here, it seems the Lord, the true reigning King, does not go looking for something exterior himself to wear. He doesn't go searching for outward, purchasable splendor. Rather, it seems he possesses within himself an inherent majesty, inherent greatness, which emanates out from him so real and so palpable that it is to him his robe.In other words, he's robed not in the majesty of man. Majesty is his very essence. He is what it means to be majestic.We see much of the same in terms of his belt. The text reads, still verse one,“He has put on strength as his belt.”Now, remember, we're talking about God here. God who does not borrow strength from elsewhere. Does not increase in strength, as if some form of it could even exist outside of him. He's what all forms of strength depend upon. And so when we read, God has put on strength, or God has robed himself in majesty, I believe we are meant to understand it as not suggesting God is adding anything to himself, but rather that God is revealing something of himself to us. Put another way: His putting on of strength, robing himself with majesty is simply what God looks like, from our angle, whenever he reveals himself to us.Brothers and sisters: God is king over the world. And, more specifically, God is king over the future of the world. King Over the FutureTake another look at verses one and two, and notice what's sandwiched between the words on God's kingship. See it with me, on one side of the sandwich, verse one:“The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed; he has put on strength as his belt.”All thoroughly Godward statements, yes? All concerning God's kingship. On the other side, verse 2:“Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.”Again, thoroughly Godward statements. All concerning God's kingship.But then, in the middle, a statement that doesn't immediately seem to fit. End of verse one:“Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.”Nothing thoroughly Godward here, right? The world is what's in view. Not God's kingship, but the world and the promise that it shall never be moved.Now, how does that fit here? What is the connection? God, God, God on one side. God, God, God on the other. Earth sandwiched in the middle. I think the point is this: We don't know what tomorrow will look like for our world, do we? We don't know the world's future. From a purely scientific angle, it doesn't look great. Think about it: We are literally standing on a ball, that's currently hurling through space, and held in the orbit of an even bigger ball, that's burning like a furnace, so massive and so powerful, that it makes nuclear reactors look like candle sticks.Will the sun go out tomorrow? Will the earth erode? Will a gigantic asteroid smash into us and break our planet in two? Will food run scarce? Will the waters dry up? Will the temperature rise too high?What will the future of our world hold? Any future at all?Psalm 93:“Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.”And the reason it won't ever be moved is because God is king over its future. He is king over the world's tomorrow. The world does not exist independently from God. The world is not a clock simply wound up by God and left to tick away on its own.God has told us his son is coming back to this world. God has told us he is going to free this world from its bondage to decay. Till he does, he has also told us his Son is the one who upholds the universe by the word of his power (Heb. 1:3). God is not going to let this world turn to dust. Psalm 93: “Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.” God is king over the future of the world.You feel flipped upside down by certain reports in the news. You feel disoriented, confused, by the possibility of chaos or catastrophe. Take heart, God is king over the future of the world. No one gets to decide what tomorrow will bring save him.God is king over the future of the world. And, God is King over the floods of the world.King Over the FloodsVerse 3,“The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring.”Certainly seems significant, given recent events. Last I read, the death count from the recent flooding in Texas has reached 134 people. The floods have certainly lifted up their roaring, and it's not the first time. Now its true, the term “floods” here could also be translated as rivers. NIV has “seas.” So we want to be careful here to not interpret this too narrowly. Waters is the idea. Bodies of water. Whether in the form of an ocean threatening deep sea fishing boats far from land, or a rising tide that breaks over embankments and floods into a city. Bodies of water, and all the potential energy amassed within them — that's the idea here. And in the ancient world, these bodies of waters were regularly feared as extremely threatening and unpredictable. Thought by many to be the realm of worldly chaos.In fact, so threatening, unpredictable, and chaotic were these bodies of water that the term itself — whether rivers, waters, or floods — became synonymous for enemy nations.Isaiah 8:7, with regard to Assyria:“The Lord is bringing up against them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. And it will rise over all its channels and go over all its banks,”Jeremiah 46:7, with regard to Egypt:“Who is this, rising like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge? Egypt rises like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge.”Revelation 12:15, with regard to Satan himself:“The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood.”So, floods here, could mean literal floods, like that which recently swept over parts of Texas. Or it could mean figurative floods, like warring nations that have swept over our world. Truth be told, I think both are in mind here in Psalm 93, because what follows is just as true concerning both. See it with me, verse 4: “Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the Lord on high is mighty!”God is king over the world's floods — it's literal floods (think Noah and the Ark) as well as its figurative floods (think Egypt's watery grave). God is king, and can be king, over the world's floods because he is mightier than they. His power far exceeds their own. The floods are to him as freshly poured tar upon the road, where he is to them the steamroller. He drives his will right on through without the least degree of resistance.Does he, at times, allow the floods to wreak havoc? Yes, according to his all-knowing, loving, and perfect wisdom, he does. But that's the key word, allows. And the moment he stops allowing, the floods must cease. Jesus slept for a time in the boat, yes? The waves crashed, the waters roared. But when Jesus woke, and spoke: “quiet, be still.” The waves were forced to bow to him. Our Psalm 93 king is mightier than the floods. Friends, no matter how out-of-control things look. No matter how in-control the enemy may seem to be. In seasons of disorientation and confusion, step away from the tilt-a-whirl of circumstances. And steady yourself upon the truth that God is king over the floods of the world.Anchor yourself to that truth, and ride out the storm from there. God is king over the floods of the world.Lastly, God is king over the faithful of the world.King Over the FaithfulVerse 5:“Your decrees are very trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O Lord, forevermore.”Key terms here — decrees, think Laws. And House, think household, or family. In other words, what's in view here is the church. The faithful who are in Christ. After all, it is we who are the members of his house, “holiness befits your house.” It is we who are the possessors of his decrees, “Your decrees are very trustworthy.” We, the church, the faithful in Christ, we are in view here. Which means, God is king over us as well. God is king over the faithful of the world.And I want us to really think for a moment about what that means. God is king over us. Kings, as we said, sit upon a throne. They wield complete authority. They reign. And as they do, their citizens do what? They obey. They submit. They endeavor to do what the king tells them.In the church, we call Jesus our friend, and we should, because Jesus first called us his friend (John 15:15).We call Jesus our Good Shepherd, and we're right to, because Jesus told us that's who he is (John 10:11).We call the Father our Father, because Jesus invites us to call him Father (Matt. 6:9).We call Jesus our Savior because that's just what he came to — save us from our sin (Matthew 1:21). We call Jesus, Jesus, because though fully God, he also became fully human, even to the point of taking on a human name, Jesus. How often do we call Jesus king? How often do we call him king and really mean it? To call Jesus king means you intend to submit to him, right? You intent to obey him. You intend to abide by the rules of his kingdom.Are you winking at any of King Jesus' commands in this season? Are you taking lightly any of King Jesus' words? Friends, in all our love for, nearness to, and enjoyment of Jesus, don't forget, this same Jesus is also King. A King deserving of our obedience to him.DecreesAnd now, two quick words concerning your King: First, verse 5, his decrees are very trustworthy. Speaking to the king,“Your decrees [think testimony, Law — the words of this book he's given us called the Bible] are very trustworthy.”His decrees are very reliable. And that's important, because his word is also very challenging, “better to pluck out your eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell.” Pluck out my eye? Am I really to take sin that seriously? His word is also not always intuitive, “whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” (Matthew 16:25). Really, I have to lose it, to find it? How can that be? His word is also humbling, “no one is righteous, no not one.” Ouch. Self-help books don't talk that way. His word is also very candid and to the point, “Here you have no lasting city.” Phew, kind of sobers you to reality just a bit, huh.So, given the challenging, not always intuitive, humbling, and to-the-point nature of God's word, we could tend to find ourselves sifting through it a bit, don't you think? Customizing it — I like this part, not that part. But these are not the words of a common citizen. Advice from the guy on the corner to either be taken or dismissed. They are the words of your King. And your king is telling you that they are very worth your trusting them.The world would have you to doubt God's word. Your sin would have you ignore it. Follow the king's word. Submit to it by faith. His decrees are very worth your trust.HolinessSecond, and lastly, holiness befits his house. Speaking to him in verse 5, “Holiness befits your house.”Whether his kingdom in heaven, his church here on earth. Holiness befits his house.And, look, this ought to be such a relief. Such an encouragement. I mean, a King can be a frightening thing. All that power, handed over to one single person? Turn the pages of history, human kings have wreaked havoc on the world. There's a reason most countries don't want them anymore.But, here's good news of a good King. One who is purely, perfectly, unchangeably holy. A king who is set apart and entirely untouched by sin, unmarred by evil, unendingly good.“Holiness befits your house.”You need not ever fear this King acting capriciously, selfishly, or deceptively like human kings. This King has no sin for you to worry about. He is radiant in holiness and it decks the walls of his house. No sin or evil ever touches this king. And the fact that holiness befits his house, means that everyone he calls near to it, he too makes holy. 1 Peter 2:9,“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,”Christian, God has made you holy, that he might bring you near. So, be holy, because you're headed to his house in heaven. And, don't miss this, be holy now, because you are his house on earth. 1 Cor. 3:17,“If anyone destroys God's temple [God's house], God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.”Holiness befits his house. You are that house. Therefore, be holy.Application for you: What is one step you can take today toward greater holiness? One sinful habit you can drop. One godless activity you can quit. One decision by which you can say, “God, you've made me holy by your Son, you've called me to live holy in this world. You are my king, and as a member of your household, I will choose holiness here. What is here for you this morning?Christian, we've got good news about a good king. It's news we can anchor our souls to in the midst of stormy weather and disorienting seasons.Who is the king of the world? God is the king of the world.Who are the king's people? We are the king's people.And, What's better than being the king's people? There is nothing better than being the king's people.The TableNow, what brings us to the table this morning is the fact that none of us here deserve to be the king's people. Had the king done nothing, and we continued in our sin just as before, we could expect nothing but rightful judgment from him. But, King Jesus did, in fact, do something. He left heaven, came to earth, took on the form of a servant, was mocked, beaten, scorned, and then hung upon a cross to die for us. Our King purchased our citizenship into his kingdom, by his life, death, and resurrection. So, because that's what this table represent, if you're here today and you've trusted in Jesus as your Savior King by faith, then we invite you to take and eat with us. If you've not put your trust in Jesus, we ask that you'd let the bread and cup pass, and in this moment, turn from your trust in all other things, give your full allegiance to Jesus. Say “Jesus, be my king.”

Satan. The Devil. The bible consistently portrays the devil as the primary antagonist of humanity, operating through various forms of deception. Understanding these methods, as revealed in Scripture, is crucial for comprehending the spiritual conflict described within the Bible. Today we will: examine…

In this sermon, Larry speaks from a place of wisdom, experience, and heartfelt concern for relationships. Drawing on decades of pastoral ministry and premarital counseling, he shares one of eight key principles he believes are essential for building, strengthening, or healing relationships: the incredible power of our words. Larry begins by pointing out how many relationships feel like they control us, dragging us along rather than us leading them. But biblically, especially through Jesus' example, we are meant to lead in our relationships—not by force, but with service and intention. One of the most powerful ways to lead, he says, is through our words. Larry emphasizes that words have the power to create or destroy. From the opening verses of Genesis, where God speaks creation into being, to Genesis 3, where Satan uses words to usher in destruction, Larry shows how scripture affirms this power. He uses two stories from the book of Judges to contrast wise, humble speech (Gideon's response to angry tribesmen, which prevented conflict) with rash, defensive speech (Jephthah's reaction, which led to war and 42,000 deaths). The message is clear: how we speak matters—deeply. Citing both Paul (Ephesians 4) and Peter (1 Peter 3), Larry teaches that words can either invite the Holy Spirit's presence and blessing or open the door to evil. He underscores that our speech is never neutral—it brings either life or death (Proverbs 18). Words of comparison, belittling, shaming, lying, and arrogance corrode relationships, while words of encouragement, truth, blessing, and humility bring healing. Larry shares personal insights about how being a “non-mentioner” (someone who doesn't naturally share feelings or thoughts) can inadvertently harm loved ones. He urges everyone—especially those who find verbal expression difficult—to speak anyway. Love and trust can only grow when people know each other's hearts, and hearts are revealed through words. He closes with practical wisdom: avoid “death words,” don't tarnish people's dignity, don't lie (even in the name of kindness), and intentionally speak life-giving words—words that build, heal, and express love. Even if we struggle to use words well, Larry encourages us to start speaking anyway—clumsily if necessary—because silence cannot communicate love or truth. Discussion Questions Reflect: What kinds of words do I most often use in my closest relationships—life-giving or life-taking? How do others experience my speech? Apply: Can I recall a time when someone's gentle, wise words de-escalated a conflict in my life? What made their words so effective? Repent: Are there “death words” I've used recently that need to be confessed and repaired? Who might I need to apologize to this week? Act: What are some specific ways I can be more intentional about speaking life-giving words to my spouse, kids, friends, or coworkers? Grow: If I struggle with verbal communication, what are one or two small steps I can take to begin expressing my heart more openly?

Is it okay to get a tattoo? What about a tattoo of Scripture? Did Eve lie when she said they must not "touch" the tree? Are all snakes from Satan? If we get more people to pray with us, is it more likely for God to answer "yes"?
