For many Christians, witnessing (sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with others) can be very challenging - in fact, for some it is something to be feared! I know! I've been there and, like many, still feel some of those challenges today. Well, it doesn't have to be something to be feared, but it should be more of a glad willingness to share the love of Christ with others because of what He did for us. The episode of 2Days...

How do we follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in ways that please Him? How do we advance in our spiritual knowledge and resulting growth that will cause us to be more obedient and live for His glory each day?

This podcast episode of 2Days Denarius explores a devotional from the ...

Without doubt, Christians around the world have suffered persecution throughout the ages. Many experience suffering for their faith even in our times as well. Nigeria has come into the spotlight recently mainly through a couple of unexpected sources: Bill Maher and President Donald Trump. Both shared strong words regarding the current situation, along with the struggles that began in Nigeria around 2009. Many have lost their lives,...

This October 31st marked 508 years since Martin Luther posted the 95 Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. In the many years since this world-changing event, the Protestant/Evangelical church has gone through many evolutions. Some were times of great revival and others were times of suffering, wars, and into the 1800s, many new denominations were formed. Instead of recognizing the pagan Halloween day, it&a...

Times have become turbulent it appears once again in our nation. With a recent school shooting in Minneapolis, some politicians and pundits once again hurled anger at those who pray for people in deep distress after tragedy in our country. This is an unhealthy and unhelpful response from leaders, who really should consider that this nation has been driven to prayer in times of national emergency throughout its history from the Pilg...

Jonathan Edwards, in the eyes of many in the Christian faith, remains the greatest theologian America ever produced. Unfortunately, many tie Edwards to a particular sermon he preached in Enfield, CT, in 1741 and to this day label him as a "hellfire and brimstone preacher" only. This is vastly untrue. This episode of 2Days Denarius takes a look at the conversion of Jonathan Edwards in his own words, along with a few quotes...

In our lives as Christians, we often overlook God's purpose for trials, testing, difficulties, among other challenges He may bring our way. One of the greatest challenges in all of Scripture is found in Genesis 22 when Abraham was tested by God to give His son, Isaac, in sacrifice. It's clear Abraham never lost his trust even in the midst of pain of potential loss. And after God's provision of a ram for the sacrifice...

What are the characteristics of effective prayers and praying? Well, one of them is praying biblically in accordance with the will of God from Scripture. Few were equal or better than this than the Puritans. One of the greatest devotionals I've ever read and meditated upon is titled, "The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers & Devotions," edited by Arthur Bennett. It is an inspirational collection of...

There is no better way than to begin the work week with prayer! On this episode of 2Days Denarius, a prayer from Puritan David Clarkson is provided to give listeners encouragement and added focus on the Lord to better serve Him in their endeavors.

Some of the most powerful and introspective prayers from Scripture can often be found in the writings of the Puritans. They were very careful to keep watch over all aspects of their lives spiritually in relation to their faith walk with the Lord. On this 2Days Denarius podcast, one prayer from the Puritan Philip Doddridge (1702-1751) will be examined, mainly for the complete biblical focus and nature of this prayer. Listeners who d...

His family announced that his prognosis and life expectancy are near the end at this point. A recent update from Grace Community Church lead staffer, Phil Johnson, shows that MacArthur's passing is imminent at this point.

One of the ways we best learn how to pray is to read the prayers in Scripture. Another valuable way to grow in our desire to pray and how to do it is from reading the prayers of faith heroes from the past. This episode of 2Days Denarius podcast is devotionally-focused on the value of short prayers. There are four prayers from select early church fathers that are presented and discussed based on the ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Than...

Kris Williams, knows as KDub on a YouTube channel titled "All Things Theology," was one of the most respected and highly influential Christian influencers on social media. He was articulate, videos were excellent in presentation, and he often engaged with his audience. For all that was good with and about KDub, the Christian influencer world and many in the evangelical churches who appreciated his ministry were shocked to...

It's amazing at times what you can find when you're looking for something else on your computer screen! I found this gem of a short letter/devotional on my Home Screen and thought it was worth sharing to my listeners. It details a letter written by the third President, Thomas Jefferson, at the request of one of his friends who named his son after Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson wrote a kind and informative short letter that t...

Our National Day of Prayer is here on May 1, 2025! It is time once again for Christians to take part in this special annual event that calls for us to take time to pray for our nation, the church, our government, our society, our leadership across this nation, for peace in our world, and for a revival that brings repentance and biblical spiritual renewal to our land. Certainly our prayer needs are great in these times. We live in a...

The battle of the ages without doubt was won by Jesus Christ's death on a Roman cross over 2,000 years ago. He came to seek and to save the lost, dying by crucifixion schemed and forced upon him by His enemies - and the evil one. This episode of 2Days Denarius focus on the three greatest days in world history - the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This podcast comes from a devotional that wa...

Without question, Jonathan Edwards is the greatest pastor/theologian in American history, and certainly one of the greatest in church history. Many, when they think of Edwards, believe he was no more than a "hellfire and brimstone preacher" because of his sermon, "Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God" that they read while in high school or college. Nothing could be further from the truth on this matter. Edwards ...

There are many topics in Scripture that can lead to controversy and unfortunately separation from true Christians when we should really still be together as one in spite of many of our differences. Certainly, one of the greatest topics of battles through the years has been the issue of election, which was basically defined and codified in John Calvin's famous work "The Institutes of the Christian Religion." This epis...
