“GOD’S WISDOM AVOIDS WAR: Many have asked me about the War in Ukraine. Is it morally right? Is it good for the country? Is it essential for the safety of the world at large? The answer in short is no, it’s not morally or biblically right and no-it’s not good for the country. The United States and the West made a covenant with Russia in 1991 that NATO would not expand East towards Russia. God takes covenants very seriously and we as a country and NATO at large have broken that covenant over and over. And today I am going to break that down and show you exactly why no Christian should support the war in Ukraine. 1) PLEASE SHARE this with your friends to help us get the algorithms up which will help get this episode spread further on the internet. 2) If you like this episode and channel, please CLICK that "SUBSCRIBE" Button and then snap the ALERT BELL. 3) And thank you for taking the time to join our channel.

Biblical Parenting in today’s world is considered politically incorrect. Today, I am going to show you the consequences of modern parenting above biblical parenting. Let’s get started. Most parents in the 21st Century struggle with what it means to “properly parent” their children. The vast majority of parents want to be “friends” with their kids. As a result, they avoid being tough and applying proper discipline which is seen as “old school” in our modern age. In contrast, God warns us in His Word (all throughout that the Bible) that failure to parent biblically leads only to harm to the child and failure on our part as parents. Today, I want us to take a look at Eli the Priest in 1 Samuel who was very successful in his ministry/vocation but failed as a father to his two sons. As a result, Eli’s two sons were put to death by God himself and most probably ended up in hell as opposed to heaven. The POINT is that God's Word clearly tells us how to raise our children-biblically. Please make sure to hit the SHARE button and then LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.

It seems as though the Lord has defeated us in our modern age. But has He really done so? Today I am going to show you in this very short episode, through Samuel that the Lord’s defeating us simply His allowing us to defeat ourselves. Let’s get started. “And when the people came to the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord here from Shiloh, that it may come among us and save us from the power of our enemies.” (1 Samual 4:3). Please LIKE-SHARE and SUBSCRIBE
