A LIFESTYLE of Prayer -- Episode #132
Prayer is the BREATH of a Christian Life. But it is also a mystery. We may know a little something of prayer a memorized prayer or a casual AMEN when comments are made that we agree with but the practice of Prayer is a Journey to the Heart of God. Prayer 'lubricates' our lives by making things work.  Prayer is an ongoing 'discussion' that gives guidance to our every decision and direction.  The goal in this new podcast is to help you enter more into the 'realm' of prayer and to help you become a better PRAY-ER!

Today we explore some 'possibilities' of WHERE this place called HEAVEN may actually be. Now to be sure - we are talking about the HEAVEN of the Bible-- the place Jesus ascended to... the place that is the abode of God.   But the question remains 'Where exactly is this place called Heaven?'  In this episode, we explore the idea that Heaven may not be a place outside the Universe but rather a different 'dimension of sorts'.  One that Apostle Paul and the Disciple John both visited and returned from. Let the Holy Spirit open our minds to the journey to and the location of the Heaven of the Bible.

'Can't we all just get along'. No, not really, it seems. For sure, the thousands of years of human history undeniably and indisputably validate one human experience: people are going to fight and divide. But why? Does the Bible give us any insights?  YES!  In this episode, we look at some very PRACTICAL and UNDERSTANDABLE explanations for this 'Division of Culture'.  There is, of course, hope for this divided world.  His name is Jesus!

GOD THE FATHER -- Episode #129
In the deepest recesses of the Heart of God, What Does our Lord Want?  Very simply:  Children!  For God to be a FATHER, He must, by definition, have Children.  Not angels-- they are his servant to do his bidding, but children.  Children who have a free will to love God (or reject Him). In this episode we look at the Practical Truth of 'God the Father'.   God's desire, ultimately, is for us.   It is why He sent Jesus to Earth-- to rescue and redeem the lost family of humanity.

In a sense for approximately 400 years the children of Israel carried a picture of Jesus with them. Did they know or understand it? NO. Probably not. They understood the HOLINESS of the Tabernacle. They had a sense of the PRESENCE of God from the Tabernacle. They certainly understood that the Tabernacle was a place to worship and sacrifice for Israel. What the Hebrew children could not understand was how clearly and powerfully the Tabernacle presented the Biblical Plan of Salvation in Jesus. Ultimately, that is the Purpose of the Tabernacle. From the Entrance Gate to the Holy of Holies-- the Tabernacle calls us to press on in to the Glory of God.

The Bible and the Problem of Time

The dilemma is REAL and it is EVERYWHERE. The whole issue of TIME AND THE BIBLE! Go to any museum such as the Smithsonian… take a college  ‘geology class’… read a children’s book about dinosaurs… and you will encounter the PREVAILING SECULAR VIEW-- often with beautiful, full color charts. The dates are stated with CERTAINTY and ASSURANCE. '13.8 billions years ago, the universe was born'… '165 million years ago the dinosaurs roamed an earth similar to the Jurassic Park movie'… '3.2 million years ago LUCY became the first HUMAN to walk upright and begin the homo sapiens race.  Yes, the Question of Time and the Bible is all around us.  In this episode, we examine how the Bible's Chronology confronts this world view-- and is perhaps the more scientific view.

THE JEWISH SEED

MIRACLES

Heaven or Hell.  Most of us believe that we will end up in one of these destinations someday. But what does the Bible say about these two locations.  In this episode we will investigate the PRACTICAL (and eternal) TRUTH of 'Heaven and Hell-- how the Bible progressively gives understanding... what the 'places' might look like... and why it is vitally important that we 'make it' to one-- and avoid the other!
