Our Voices Matter

I’m a big fan of the TV talent show, “The Voice”. To make it past the first audition, the contestants belt out a song while the chairs of the judges are turned away from them. Then the judges base their decision solely on how good their voice is — not by how they look or their stage presence. If they are a good singer, the judges will hit the big button on their chairs which turns them around.…

Psalm 119:105 (NLT). “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.”

Proverbs 6:23 (CEV). “The Law of the Lord is a lamp,and its teachings shine brightly. Correction and self-control will lead you through life.”

Psalm 32:8 (NIV). “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”

Isaiah 30:21 (ERV). “If you wander from the right path, either to the right or to the left, you will hear a voice behind you saying, “You should go this way. Here is the right way.”

We may wander from the path. We may not know where to go next, but God does, because He knows our future.

Friend, when you are uncertain of the next step, God and His Word will show you the next step in the right direction. Amen! 🙏🕊️🙌

Your Heart Needs Tending, Because What's Inside it Matters

People say. “be true to your heart.” But what if your heart has a problem? Hank Williams knew that people could lie, cheat, and keep secrets. But, he also knew that eventually what was in your heart would come out. His hit song from 1953 ( https://genius.com/Hank-williams-your-cheatin-heart-lyrics ) described the progression: “Your cheatin’ heart will pine some day, and crave the love you threw…

The Subtle but Dangerous Pull from Christ (258) - August 10 2024

Choose your Podcast App to Play this episode We all want to be on the best path in life. The Word of God, Jesus Himself, is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Without Him we can do nothing. Without Him we cannot be on the best path. The devil therefore lures us to more familiar activities and distractions. We get to choose what we should watch, listen to, and who to be around. Our soul is being…

When recognizing a mistake, don't you instinctively strive for improvement? Similarly, when life knocks someone down, don't they inherently seek to rise stronger than before?

Our inner light is the greatest source of guidance. Is it not fitting that celebrities are called stars, shining bright? When we close our eyes, darkness fades, revealing our own radiant potential. Didn't the dragon's tail sweep away a third of the stars and hurled them to earth, reminding us God's Word is our eternal illumination?

Abortion is Murder & Unbiblical

The Bible does not use the word abortion. How could it? The term itself as a procedure wasn't invented yet! However, the Bible does cover: 

Humanity's inherent value and rights as (uniquely among creation) made in the image of God

Murder

Child/infant murder as something abhorrent to God

Life's beginnings, indirectly (although that also has biological support) 

Legal ramifications of killing a child in the womb 

How God sees and interacts with children in the womb 

How we as His followers are meant to treat children 

What He expects us to do for the defenseless and vulnerable (i.e., the most defenseless and vulnerable human imaginable is the one in the womb) 

And how the question of following Him and His Word is what makes or breaks the difference between a Christian and someone who claims the name but is tragically unsaved  Below are some verses and some additional explication (partial credit: @glowsticks-and-jesus)  

Proverbs 31:8 

Luke 1:44 

2nd Kings 17:17 

Jeremiah 19:5 

Genesis 9:6 

Exodus 21:22-25 

Matthew 7:20 - 23 

John 15:14 

1st John 1:5-10, 2:3-6 

Exodus 20:13 

Mark 10:13-15 Leviticus 20:3-5 (https://biblehub.com/hebrew/mizzaro_2233.htm) 

Matthew 18:10, 14

Psalm 22:10

Jacob & Esau, John the Baptist, Samson, etc. 

Judges 16:17  Glowsticks-and-Jesus Collection:

"Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 'Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.'"Jeremiah 1:4-5

"The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name."Isaiah 49:1

John the Baptist leaped in Elizabeth’s womb when Mary greeted her cousin (Luke 1:39-45), an example that babies in utero are responsive human beings already aware of the outside world.

The righteous Hebrew midwives at the time of Moses pleased God by saving babies deemed unworthy of life by the authorities of their day (Ex. 1:15-21).

 As an additional note -- these references are included above, but worth a second mention -- it's plain that child sacrifice - child murder - is something that God abhors and explicitly does not command. I'd look here (https://biblehub.com/jeremiah/19-5.htm) and here (https://biblehub.com/2_kings/17-17.htm) and check out the cross-references as well. Likewise, there is direct support for laws against murder and the protection of the unborn (up to capital punishment) in the Bible (Genesis 9:6; Exodus 21:22-25  -- an additional reference here included about the common misunderstanding of the latter verses: https://www.str.org/w/what-exodus-21-22-says-about-abortion).

In summary -- it's possible (although, I believe, it does deprive its proponents of a foundational basis for the value of life) to be both secular and anti-abortion. But it is not possible for a Christian who truly understands their faith, their God, and His Word to be pro-abortion.

The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

19 Jesus said, “There was a rich man who always dressed in the finest clothes. He was so rich that he was able to enjoy all the best things every day. 20 There was also a very poor man named Lazarus. Lazarus’ body was covered with sores. He was often put by the rich man’s gate. 21 Lazarus wanted only to eat the scraps of food left on the floor under the rich man’s table. And the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 “Later, Lazarus died. The angels took him and placed him in the arms of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 He was sent to the place of death and was in great pain. He saw Abraham far away with Lazarus in his arms. — Luke 16:19-23 | Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) Easy-to-Read Version Bible Copyright © 2006 by Bible League International Cross References: Proverbs 31:22; Ezekiel 16:49; Matthew 11:23; Matthew 15:27; Matthew 26:71; Luke 16:24; John 1:18; John 13:23

The Meaning of the Rich Man and Lazarus Parable

[hrsquotes]

Believing in God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Bible, Jesus' death & resurrection, Jesus' second coming are all meant to be believed through the lens of faith, not through a lens of feelings. Feelings change, sometimes back-n-forth. Feelings fail. Feelings are based off our senses. Faith is based off trust in the unseen. It is only by faith that the things of God can truly be in our hearts & become the center of our lives.

Some scriptures about faith: Proverbs 3:5-6 Matthew 17:20 Matthew 21:22 Mark 9:23 Mark 11:22-23 Romans 1:7 2 Corinthians 5:7 Ephesians 2:8-9 1 Timothy 6:12 Hebrews 11:1 Hebrews 11:6 James 1:3 James 1:6 1 John 5:4
