Over the years, I have found myself coming back to this theme of discernment quite often. It’s because there are so many voices and so many concepts that keep coming into the Church. These need to be analyzed as to the validity of being from the Lord. Every few years, new trends emerge. How legitimate are they in fitting into God’s plan? It’s getting harder to know, so a spirit of discernment needs to be practiced more and more as ...

One of the main themes of the Bible is that God never changes. Not only does He not change, but none of His benefits change either. His forgiveness is complete … it never changes. His promises to us never change … they remain constant. His protection never changes … He is always watching over us. God never changes, and that makes Him reliable to place our faith and trust in because He cannot change. In this episode, I have a conver...

Everyone knows someone who has been hurt by the Church. We hear horror stories on how people are treated … or even abused. Some people may think that Church hurt may be just over sensitive people who need to learn to move on. Yet, there is a reality to the organization called the Church to present behavior that is not becoming of Christ.  Some people may even use the term Church Hurt in a manner that is abusive to the Church, and u...

What is wisdom? Knowledge tempered by experience. We can also say wisdom is “knowledge forged in the fires of experience.” We need to appreciate the wisdom older and more mature Christians have developed over many years of walking with Jesus. James 1:5 invites us to ask God for wisdom – He promises to give it to us freely! Ask for wisdom!

The Truth Barista and Amazing Larry continue their discussion about wisdom. It’s so important to look to God for wisdom! We also need Godly, experienced, older men and women in our lives to impart wisdom forged in the fires of their experience with the Lord. God gives us the gift of wisdom and we should give that gift to the next generation.

In this episode, Pastor Walt thinks out loud on the subject of Post-Tribulation. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is coming back. But, there is room for disagreement on the subject of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Pastor Walt shares his personal views on this subject, and that his study of the Book of Daniel convinced him that the Post-Tribulation view is his personal view. Jesus talked about His Return all the time. Why d...

I keep listening for substance in our society … I find very little. Either people are trying to sell me something or convince me of some idea, and I’m amazed at how little substance there is in the world around me. I am convinced that the only substance anymore is the truth found in the Bible. For example, when I listen to news or commentary on the war between Hamas and Israel, most people miss the whole point … the point of view f...

Many people today live in despair. In fact, from 2005 to 2019, an average of 70,000 Americans died annually of death from despair (suicide, drug overdose, and alcohol poisoning). We have become a medicated society in America, and much of our despair may even be caused by the side effects of our medications. In America today, 131 million people, or 66% of our population, is on some kind of prescription drug. Now, I am not against me...

In a series of commands, Paul builds up to Ephesians 5:18b -- “Be being filled with the Spirit!" This is a famous verse but most people fill it with meaning from their imaginations! They haven’t asked Paul from the context what HE means. What does this filling look like? What do we end up doing as a result? That is what he tells us.

In our previous episode,  Dr. Jay Christianson of HighBeam Ministry, and I had a conversation about idols and defined them as anything subtle or blatant that comes into our lives and takes us away from keeping God first. Our culture is a good example of how things can easily be innocent at first … until that innocence turns into a deadly idol. In this episode, we continue our discussion about idols and how we can keep idols from ta...

In the Old Testament, one of the constant struggles for Israel was idols. Everywhere they looked there was idol worship, and the culture had a lot of influence on God’s people. Nothing has changed much since those days. Idols are everywhere in our culture, and it’s hard not to get involved.  In this episode, Dr. Jay Christianson of HighBeam Ministry and I talk about idols and how they interfere in our lives … often unnoticed by us....

Jesus is seen in the Scriptures as Creator, Redeemer, and Judge. In this episode, we’ll explore these ideas. In Revelation Chapter 6, there is a phrase, “the wrath of the Lamb,” meaning that the Lamb that was slain on the Cross has now come to judge the world. In other words, from Lamb to Lion. This same Jesus who is the Lamb of God will return as a Lion to bring conclusion to this world, and present to His Father His Kingdom purch...
