How important is a knowledge of the contents of the Bible to the Christian? Why is the Bible important? Why should the Christian read the Bible? Can a new Christian read and understand the Bible? I will discuss these questions in this episode.

What kind of a world was Jesus born into? What were the circumstances? I'll say this. They were both strange, and perfect. How ideal were they for Mary and Joseph? How ideal were they for the world? What does that mean for us as Christians today?

What does it mean when Jesus says regarding money, "No one can serve two masters"? Was he speaking of greed? What exactly is greed? How much money is too much? Is it a sin to be "rich"? I will discuss that in this episode.

In keeping with the theme of Christmas, and the theme of hearing the voice of God, I will discuss the story of Mary and Joseph that is chronicled in Matthew 1:16-25. When God speaks, it is never without purpose or meaning. God has a specific planned strategic purpose for speaking to his people, as he did with Joseph in that incredible story. I hope God speaks to and encourages you as you walk with him. I hope you are blessed as you listen.

Absolutely. How does God speak to us? He never goes outside the boundaries of his word, the Bible. In order to recognize the voice of God, and to recognize what he is doing in the world today, we must become familiar with the Bible. God speaks to us through the Bible, through dreams, through visions, and through his still small voice. For the Christian, the one who has accepted Christ into his/her heart, all these means of hearing God come from the indwelling Holy Spirit. In this episode, I will discuss this topic. I hope you are blessed as you listen. Thank you.

With so many voices in our society today competing for our attention, and even obedience, how are we to recognize God's voice? In this episode, I will address this topic. I hope you are blessed.

What gives these heroes of the faith the power that they possess? There are some people in the ministry who speak with conviction, and act with purpose, and something in them seems different? What is that? It is the power of the Holy Spirit, stemming from a life in submission to God. The first step to obtain that power is to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9 says, "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." In order to live a life in ministry effectively, one has to "go back to the basics" with this very verse, and accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this episode, I will discuss that with a story from an outreach in Nepal. I hope you enjoy it, and are blessed by it.

Psalm 23 is a passage of scripture that Christians around the world know by heart. It is a scripture that demonstrates the favor of God upon those that love and rely on Him. In this episode, I share a story about a visit to a certain maligned nation. I hope you are blessed by this testimony.

As genuine prophets of God arise, giving words of comfort, so do false ones, acting as wolves in sheep's clothing. How are we to recognize the real? How are we to recognize the fake? Deuteronomy 18:18-22 and 1 Corinthians 14:1-5 are passages that could shed light on this issue. I hope you are blessed.
