Joshua was taking a look at Jericho which the Israelites were about to attack, when he met the captain of the host of God. Was he on Joshua's side or that of Jericho? His answer of "No" tells Joshua all he needed to know and sends a message to us today. Hope it is a blessing for you today. Peace.

I have a T-shirt which says "Question Everything" on it. I think it upset some people, but the Apostle John does say to do just that when he wrote to "test the spirits." What does that mean, why don't we do it, and HOW are we to do this? It's life guidance that is relevant to Everyone in the clown-world we live in today.

If Faith about fighting over insignificant things? Is there something more important than determining what to eat or drink? If so, then what is that and what do we do? Who is our enemy and how to we fight against it? Although I do quote Benjamin Franklin in this sermon, who we choose to fight and how are always the responsibility of the one who makes the choice. Peace to us all in the Clown world.

Think on what is good and true which should lead to good and true actions. Today's virtue signalers just complain all the time. Just a quick analysis of where all of this complaining comes from and how believers are to separate ourselves from the "complain" culture. It's not an easy thing to do in the world of "Subjective Value." But... it's the way of Peace... which we need today.

He is Risen. Christ is King. So many controversies, so little time. What does it mean to "seek the living One among the dead"? What does it mean to "seek the living One among the living"? As with all of these sermons, I indirectly address various social phenomena while trying to teach a Christian perspective on how to manage it all. Blessings to you this Easter.

Palm Sunday and Jesus wept. Why did he weep when he looked on Jerusalem? Should we weep over our own country (if it's in the west... or even if it isn't)? Not knowing means we won't and can't have peace. But Peace to you on the crazy rollercoaster week on the Christian calendar.

Reap what you sow is something I often say. Subjectivity considered; everyone believes they are sowing for good. Does it matter? If our society now is the result of good actions and actions with good intentions, then how do we explain the injustice? "Sowing and reaping" are explained as well as why it is difficult to sow for good and God. Also discussed is a suggestion on how to wade through all the subjectivity and ignorance to reap blessing. Peace.

This week we take a look at Idolatry through a better understanding of "Religion". It turns out that there's quite a lot of content in that religion/idolatry category, e.g. football. Clarity in the distinction of what is and what is not of God enables us to be more devoted and better witnesses. This devotion must be a good testimony for people living in the darkness of their own ignorance.

NEW Shorter Format! Since I can't find "highlights" of an episode, mostly because it means more editing and I don't have that kind of time, I have moved to a more summary format. The Love of God is not an emotion. Over the years people in my circle have struggled with this subjective interpretation of Love, but here it is. Understanding that the Love of God is an absolute allows for a "neater" explanation of the passage and Christian life. Love as Truth chases out the Lies of sin. Peace.

Paul wrote not to quarrel over words, but we are to use them correctly. People will often use the in-fighting in the church (even libertarianism) as an excuse not to join in some way. To top it off, many people are in the business of confusing words and their meaning because it is profitable for them. How does one learn without creating a fuss and devolving into fighting? Give a listen.

So, how do we have unity when EVERYTHING in and out of church is so divided? I offer a place to start using this passage from Ephesians. We must acknowledge that unity is tricky if we want to avoid superficial or fake unity. You may be happy to know that unity does not require conformity in knowledge or behavior, quite the opposite. Hope this message is a blessing for you. Peace.

The calling of Levi, an IRS agent, includes the critique by some of the Elites of the day, the Pharisees. This week, we take a look at the elites and all of the elitist things they do. How are believers supposed to respond? Blessings and Peace.

How does one NOT complain when the trend these days IS to complain... about everything. But most things people complain about are not really a problem. Complaints today lead to political activism and legislation. Just say no to this destructive activity and embrace innovation and creativity. Blessing and Peace to us all!

People talk about privilege as if there's only one kind worth having: White Privilege. I have talked about white privilege in Ep 13 and Dollar Privilege in Ep 65 but neither episode addressed the Faith aspect of the concept. So, Faith Privilege, beyond the obvious, what is it and what does this mean for us as believers, as children of God. May this be a bit of grace for you, today.

This passage covers the story of David's anointing as future king of Israel. It is a foreshadowing of Jesus the Anointed. So, what does this mean for believers today? What do we do, how do we live in service to the anointed? It surely does not mean we do nothing.

It is hard to know what is good and what is evil these days. Some people have the advantage of the bully pulpit and thus have a louder and more authoritative voice. But the Lord does not leave us in the wind, he does provide for us the means through which we can seek and find Good. It's a blessing and curse, because we now see just how evil things have become... but we press on because we have hope in faith made possible by Jesus. Peace to us all.

Happy New Year. Yes... as usual, the message is a bit different from what some might expect from a church. In spite of that, I hope that it is a blessing to you. What is the "New Thing" and what do we do with it? What do we do with the old? The subjective answers are in the recording.

Some people are beginning to catch on to what RACE really is. So, this episode will review the concepts covered in Ep 8 and offer some bad examples of lazy and thus, bad racism. In case you feel knots tightening in your stomach, Ep 61 explains why all humor is racist. Regardless of your reaction, please remember that Freedom is always the way forward.

For the last Sunday of 2023 a contrast with last week's message. The Sword of Jesus. The Prince of Peace gave us a sword to do battle. What is the sword and what does this have to do with peace? Hope you have a wonderful New Year's celebration.

It's Christmas Sunday for the Subjective Preacher. Jesus did not come to the earth to perpetuate war or to enable moral hazards. Jesus came to give us a government of peace. Blessings to you and a very merry Christmas!

My mom actually asked that I preach this passage today. I guess I don't talk about Jesus enough. But it's a more theological type sermon about the character and nature of Jesus. One might listen trying to find flaws or points of disagreement; or one might try to find something which inspires. Hopefully, you will find something to start your week.

Temptation is a kind of test and though life is full of temptation, the Lord says that he also provides a way of escape. This week we will be examining the nature of the temptations or tests that we encounter and what that way of escape is.

"As the Spirit Leads" is an impressive expression in the church world. But how does one know if one actually is following the Spirit? This is especially the case when people believe that "not being under the law" implies lawlessness. This is my subjective take living as the Spirit Leads.

A sermon about Beauty and Virtue Signaling. Virtue signaling is hypocrisy and it is basicallly a lot of fakery. So, what is beauty, subjectively speaking, and where can we find, achieve or perceive it? Hopefully this un-sermon will inspire you as it did me when I was writing it. Blessings.

The Apostle Paul writes to Timothy that he should receive EVERYTHING with thanks. Given all of the bad that is in the world, this is a difficult task, but not impossible with faith. How does one be thankful for even the subjective bad things in life? This is my take... Blessings and Peace.
