Podcasts about Wickedness

Welcome to episode 202 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we walk through Psalm 5.  Today, we will explore how King David sought God's face in a two-faced world, focusing on: Prayer for God's Justice (vv. 1–3) Affirmation of God's Hatred of Evil (vv. 4–6) Hope in Fellowship With God (v. 7) Prayer for God's Righteousness (v. 8) Affirmation of Evil (v. 9) Hope in God's Righteousness (vv. 10–12)  Key takeaways: David shows us how to navigate this two-faced world with integrity and hope. What better way to start the day than to direct one's thoughts, one's praise, one's prayers to God, and look up? Is it not better to face every day, whatever the circumstances, with God than without Him? David's hope is grounded in the character of God. He is confident because he knows who God is. Wickedness always alienates us from God, creating a chasm of separation that can only be bridged by repentance on our part and by God's merciful forgiveness. We approach the infinitely holy God—not because of our own worthiness, but through the "credentials" of Christ's righteousness and God's abundant, unfailing love. The Scriptures indicate that God has provided a standard for life, or a norm, to guide humankind. To direct one's life in accord with this standard is to walk in righteousness; that is, in the way that is right.  Quotable: Discernment requires looking beyond appealing words to examine both the heart behind them and the ultimate impact they will have.  Application: When facing situations that seem unjust or unchanged despite prayer, remember David's example of bringing the same concerns to God each morning. Before addressing challenges or injustices, follow David's pattern of first bringing the matter to God. This ensures our responses are guided by divine wisdom rather than merely human reaction.  Connect with us: Web site:  https://springbaptist.org Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus) Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/  If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider. 

Welcome to this Scripture Hike with the Nomads through Ephesians 6:10-16 ! We learn certain things about a mountain only by hiking it, one laborious, yet exhilarating step at a time. When we stay in the moment enough to let it fill our senses with freshness and beauty, the hike becomes a part of us. We nomads have set out on a new quest in this series of NomadsYouAndi podcasts we're calling “Scripture Hikes” to discuss the word of God at a pace that is similar to the hikes we've been taking while we're living nomadically.Come join us now for a hike through the Word where we'll encounter spiritual truths that we've found to be transformative to our lives, strengthening to our spirits, more fragrant to our hearts, and more refreshing to our souls than any evergreen forest, pristine mountain spring, or mountain peak we've ever experienced!

Pastor Al Dagel wants us to know that God has the right answers for us, even when we don't grasp the questions.

I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins [NLT]

Righteousness is more than doing good—it's living in sync with God's heart. The book frequently contrasts the righteous and the wicked, detailing the blessings of righteous living and the consequences of wicked behavior. It underscores that righteousness is not only right in God's eyes but also the most beneficial way to live. 

Which path are you really on—and where is it taking you?ABOUT THIS MESSAGE:In this message from Proverbs 4, Pastor Adam Burton challenges us to look at the direction our lives are heading. Every step we take is shaping who we're becoming—and not all roads lead to life. With practical wisdom and heartfelt insight, this sermon invites us to walk the path of God's truth and stay rooted in His light.

Having seen biblical examples, Pastor Al Dagel shares the importance of generational conversions in our families.

1 Doesn't wisdom cry out? Doesn't understanding raise her voice? 2 On the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she stands. 3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entry doors, she cries aloud: 4 "I call to you men! I send my voice to the sons of mankind. 5 You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart! 6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things. 7 For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them. 9 They are all plain to him who understands, right to those who find knowledge. 10 Receive my instruction rather than silver, knowledge rather than choice gold. 11 For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can't be compared to it. 12 "I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion. 13 The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth. 14 Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power. 15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 16 By me princes rule, nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth. 17 I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me. 18 With me are riches, honor, enduring wealth, and prosperity. 19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver. 20 I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice, 21 that I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries. 22 "Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old. 23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed. 24 When there were no depths, I was born, when there were no springs abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was born; 26 while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world. 27 When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep, 28 when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong, 29 when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, 30 then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him, 31 rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men. 32 "Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways. 33 Hear instruction, and be wise. Don't refuse it. 34 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts. 35 For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh. 36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death." Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

Today, Pastor Al Dagel speaks of war and battles, but spiritual warfare is the real topic of today's episode of Moments of Grace.

THIS SEGMENT IS TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE CONDONING OF WICKED MATTERS!!!!!!

Isaiah 1:1–20 (Listen) 1:1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. The Wickedness of Judah 2   Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth;    for the LORD has spoken:  “Children1 have I reared and brought up,    but they have rebelled against me.3   The ox knows its owner,    and the donkey its master's crib,  but Israel does not know,    my people do not understand.” 4   Ah, sinful nation,    a people laden with iniquity,  offspring of evildoers,    children who deal corruptly!  They have forsaken the LORD,    they have despised the Holy One of Israel,    they are utterly estranged. 5   Why will you still be struck down?    Why will you continue to rebel?  The whole head is sick,    and the whole heart faint.6   From the sole of the foot even to the head,    there is no soundness in it,  but bruises and sores    and raw wounds;  they are not pressed out or bound up    or softened with oil. 7   Your country lies desolate;    your cities are burned with fire;  in your very presence    foreigners devour your land;    it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.8   And the daughter of Zion is left    like a booth in a vineyard,  like a lodge in a cucumber field,    like a besieged city. 9   If the LORD of hosts    had not left us a few survivors,  we should have been like Sodom,    and become like Gomorrah. 10   Hear the word of the LORD,    you rulers of Sodom!  Give ear to the teaching2 of our God,    you people of Gomorrah!11   “What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?    says the LORD;  I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams    and the fat of well-fed beasts;  I do not delight in the blood of bulls,    or of lambs, or of goats. 12   “When you come to appear before me,    who has required of you    this trampling of my courts?13   Bring no more vain offerings;    incense is an abomination to me.  New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations—    I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly.14   Your new moons and your appointed feasts

No matter what "smart" people say, Christ is risen from the dead, and those who believe this are not fools!

Pastor Al Dagel explains that God may heal people today, but it is still up to God to choose how to respond to our needs and prayers.

Shannon Sharpe is back in the news — and for all the wrong reasons. No Instagram Live leaks this time … it's even worse. A $50 million lawsuit has been filed against Sharpe over rape allegations. Jason, however, isn't surprised. He points out that Sharpe has a history of troubling interactions with women and says that we've become so desensitized as a society that public shame no longer exists. In America, shame has gone extinct. Steve Kim joins the show to weigh in on the Sharpe lawsuit and add context to the larger cultural fallout. In other news, Pat McAfee and WWE's Paul Heyman fire back at the media frenzy surrounding both Shannon Sharpe and Stephen A. Smith. One is chasing delusional presidential aspirations, the other is facing serious legal allegations — and yet somehow McAfee is the one tarnishing ESPN's reputation? The hypocrisy is unreal. Meanwhile, Mavericks fans are in disbelief after GM Nico Harrison admitted in a press conference that he didn't realize how much Luka Dončić means to the Dallas fan base. This guy seriously needs to be shown the door. Even Charles Barkley, during "Inside the NBA," told Harrison to take the "L" and lay low for a while. Wrapping up the show, Shemeka Michelle joins Jason to break down Kanye West's latest rant on X. It's getting harder and harder to tell what's going on with him — he seems to be spiraling fast.

Lady Gaga's recent performance at Coachella has been called everything from gross to witchcraft with some even labeling it a full on satanic ritual. But Gaga actually claims to be a Christian...so the question is can believers really sing along with fans who feel "born this way" when it comes to celebrating sinful behavior. Also should those who confess Christ as their Lord and Savior be attending festivals such as Coachella?

Jon Buck's Sermon on Selected Scriptures, from April 13, 2025.

Today, Pastor Al Dagel helps us see that not every sacrifice is acceptable to God.  There has only been one perfect sacrifice: He was God's Lamb.

David's idleness provides a playground for the devil's temptations. Although the king should have come to his senses and turned from his sin at any number of times, over and over David chose evil. His laziness led to lust. His lust led to adultery. His adultery led to murder. David's sin leads others into sin and brings great harm upon them. Uriah's righteousness stands in ironic contrast to David's callousness. Rather than repenting at such a sting of conscience, David kills the man who reminds him of his guilt. By the end of the chapter, David seems to have gotten away with it all, even looking outwardly pious. Yet what man cannot see, the LORD does, and He will not leave David to die in such unrepentant sin.  Rev. Brian Flamme, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church and School in Roswell, NM, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Samuel 11:1-27.  "A Kingdom Unlike All the Nations” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Samuel. This time in Israel's history has its highs and lows, but the LORD's faithfulness never wavers. He provides His Word to be proclaimed faithfully through prophets like Samuel and Nathan. Even as princes like Saul and David sit on an earthly throne, the LORD remains King over His people, even as He does now and forever through the Lord Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

More on the idolatrous city - specifically, how to handle the sacred scrolls that cannot be burned (namely, bury them). How little prevents an ir ha-nidachat from being judged as such? Also, recognizing that the place of the destroyed city cannot be rebuilt as a city, can it be converted to gardens or orchards? A clear machloket! Plus, a detour into the question of Jericho, and also Achav. Also, who are the wicked referred to in the last mishnah? Thievery. Wickedness leading to anger - and God's anger. With a strong finish with an eye to redemption, when righteous people come to the world, which leads to joy in the world too.

In this Bible Story, some men from the tribe of Benjamin brutally rape the concubine of a Levite. As a message to the people of Israel, the Levite tore his concubine into pieces, and spread her limbs to all the twelve tribes of Israel. This story is inspired by Judges 19. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Judges 19:24 from the King James Version.Episode 71: Israel continues its fall into depravity and even the holiest of people did whatever they wanted. A Levite, a minister of God, took on a concubine, who eventually left him. After a while, he left his home in Ephraim to go to Bethlehem and fetch his concubine. But whenever he arrived, the woman's father kept finding ways to keep him there at their house. When they were finally able to escape, the Levite decided to press on until the land of Benjamin. But little did he know, that Gibeah had become the new Sodom.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

This Week: Tired of the wickedness coming from DC? Us too. And, we're gonna keep you updated on the latest. Trump threatened states with stripping federal education funds if they don't sign a letter within 10 days certifying they don't do DEI.

And, as the move towards privatization of public education shifts into overdrive, we check in on one of the most fascinating, and disturbing examples of what can happen when school is in the wrong hands -- Kanye's Donda Academy.

Take a bite of the apple, East of Eden and other references permeate pop culture in a way that could seem to pay homage to the biblical account of the fall but ultimately end up being a reference to false enlightenment, innuendo and even making the devil the hero in the story.

Scripture Reflection for Apr. 4, 2025: Lenten Journey: Blinded by Wickedness by Priests for Life

In this passage, we see mankind's ongoing slide into wickedness and God's judgment concerning it. We also see the ever present and wonderful grace of God as he preserves one man through whom he will preserve the race.

Scripture – Psalm 47 Sermon Summary:  The righteous response to wickedness requires God-centeredness, truth, and faith.

CrossLife elder, Andy DeBoer, brings our next message today from Ecclesiastes 3. Solomon points out in this passage that he finds wickedness in the place of justice, wickedness in the place of righteousness, leading him to lament again the meaninglessness of life. But the world shouldn't be like this. Listen as Andy examines Solomon's lament through the lens of the Gospel.

Welcome to Day 2597 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2597 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 55:9-14 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2597 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2597 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, I'll guide you along the paths of wisdom, truth, and spiritual insight as we journey through God's Word together. I'm honored to walk alongside you today as we continue exploring Psalm 55, a profoundly personal psalm written by King David during one of the most painful periods of his life. Today, we'll focus on Psalm 55:9-14, where David vividly describes the agony of betrayal—not from strangers or known enemies—but from someone he loved, trusted, and considered a close friend. In these verses, David invites us into his world of intense emotional pain, showing us how even godly leaders experience heartache, conflict, and confusion. Let's begin by reading Psalm 55:9-14 from the New Living Translation: 9 Confuse them, Lord, and frustrate their plans, for I see violence and conflict in the city. 10 Its walls are patrolled day and night against invaders, but the real danger is wickedness within the city. 11 Everything is falling apart; threats and cheating are rampant in the streets. 12 It is not an enemy who taunts me— I could bear that. It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me— I could have hidden from them. 13 Instead, it is you—my equal, my companion and close friend. 14 What good fellowship we once enjoyed as we walked together to the house of God. David's Cry Against Evil (Verses 9-11) David opens this section with a passionate plea to God: “Confuse them, Lord, and frustrate their plans, for I see violence and conflict in the city. Its walls are patrolled day and night against invaders, but the real danger is wickedness within the city. Everything is falling apart; threats and cheating are rampant in the streets.” These words highlight David's deep distress at seeing the corruption and chaos inside Jerusalem. Notice he doesn't merely pray for deliverance—he prays specifically that God would disrupt and frustrate evil plans. David recognizes that enemies and threats are not merely external; the deeper danger comes from within. In the Ancient Israelite worldview, the city—especially Jerusalem—was meant to be a place of order, justice, and peace, reflecting God's righteousness. City walls were symbolic of protection and security, guarding against external threats. Yet here, David identifies that the walls, though guarded diligently, can't protect against the internal moral decay. Wickedness, corruption, deceit, and violence permeate Jerusalem, threatening the very fabric of society. David's request—“Confuse them and frustrate their plans”—echoes back to Genesis 11 and the Tower of Babel, where God disrupted human plans built on pride and rebellion. David trusts that God can similarly frustrate evil plots and restore justice. Illustration: Imagine a fortress city carefully guarded by strong, vigilant soldiers. While they focus intently outward, enemies cleverly slip through unnoticed gates inside, causing chaos from within.

Ever look around and wonder—why do wicked people seem to get away with everything? Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we're looking at Ecclesiastes 8:10-13: Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place and were praised in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity. Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him. But it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God. — Ecclesiastes 8:10-13 Why does injustice seem to thrive? Because judgment doesn't come instantly. When consequences are delayed, people double down on sin. They assume there's no reckoning. But here's the truth—just because judgment is slow doesn't mean it's not coming. Solomon lays it out. The wicked might stretch their days, but their success is a fading shadow. Their time runs out. But those who fear God? In the end—it will be well with them. So what do we do? Stop obsessing over the wicked—it's fool's gold. Their wins are short-lived. Their legacy? Dust. Instead, lock your eyes on God. Fear Him. Obey Him. Stay steady. God's justice isn't on our clock, but it's never off schedule. Your job? Walk in righteousness. Trust His timing. Because in the end, it won't just be okay—it'll be well with you. #GodsJustice, #TrustHisTiming, #FearTheLord ASK THIS: How do you respond when it seems like injustice goes unpunished? What does it mean to truly fear God in your daily life? How can you trust God's timing when evil appears to thrive? Where do you need to shift your focus from frustration to faith? DO THIS: Fix your focus on fearing God and obeying Him rather than obsessing over the temporary success of the wicked. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to trust in Your perfect justice and not be discouraged by the temporary success of the wicked. Keep my heart steady in obedience, knowing that in the end, it will be well with those who fear You. Amen. PLAY THIS: Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly.

Wickedness of Man vs The Loving kindness of God! 

Worldliness characterizes Babylon. Worldliness is whatever makes wickedness look normal and righteousness look strange. That is prevalent everywhere you look. God's people can feel small and insignificant in the belly of Babylon, but the truth of the matter is: God rules “Babylonian” leaders and “Babylon” for the good of his people.A megalomaniac's testimony...1) Intellectual disruption2) Experiential crisis3) Volitional submissionText: Daniel 4:1-37

It's hard to deny that with actual leadership in place, perhaps for the first time in many of our lives, things may appear to look pretty good. And, certainly, optimism abounds. Yet one thing is certain: the Deep State will eventually Strike Back. And the potential avenues for Wickedness are Legion. So how does that modify our understanding of what "Come out of her," means now? What if things just LOOK so wonderful?
