Beside Still Waters

We are in "The Last Days". This is not subject to debate. Pandemics, societal anarchy, new social-relational aberrations, upsurge of 'New Age' religious practices, unbounded immorality, biblical spiritual decline . . .  Jesus, the Christ, was clear in his warning that "as it was in the day of Noah, so also shall be the coming of the Son of Man . . . until the day on which Noah entered the ark"  (Mt. 24:37-39). This podcast is an exhortation for Christians to live in readiness for that day. We embrace Christ's warning of end-time prophetic events while seeking to maintain a closer walk with God in uncertain times.

The critical truth showing how God is influenced to be strong on your behalf and impact mankind was given by Jesus, the Christ in Mathew's Gospel, 17:14-21. He identified prayer and fasting as the only to make a Christian influential for the kingdom God, man's good, and holy in a pagan world.

People often ask me: "What do I gain if I pursue God with all I've got?" The greatest prize, gift, benefit, or outcome . . . is God Himself

Is pleasing God an impossible task? It is written, ". . . without faith, it is impossible to please Him (God) for he that comes to God must believe that He is . . .". Pleasing God begins with a clear acknowledgment that He exists, and He awaits the evidence of a willing, obedient life.

The exercise of faith is not distinct from developing an upright, holy character. Connection with God - the ability to "touch the hand of God" in one's life experience is predicated on having a character standing before God that is God-approved.

Prioritizing "alone time" with God is the first critical step in experiencing God's presence. When being in His presence is our standard, we are thus prepared to discover He is with us in the storm, as He was in the calm.

Have you ever prayed: "Lord, please use me to bless others . . ." or "Help me to be a blessing to my family" or such request? That plea signals a desire to be filled, led, and used by a mighty God for humanity's good and the building up of the Body of Christ. Then this podcast is for you.

What good is a "belief" if it does not result in a "Life and Lip" Transformation? It is a dead faith, a life-less dogma. The Christian's mandate is to validate in word as well as deed that there is available grace to live an extraordinary life.

The grace of God is the Christian's "enabling power," making deliverance from sin's penalty and power a reality.  There is no power in any person or any method that can deliver from the power of sin apart from the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus are the two significant events guaranteeing a repentant human being that ALL their sins are expiated, having trusted in Christ as Savior. God gives two pieces of evidence that continually remind and assures the Christian that "it is well with my soul."
