Many of us have these-- physically and spiritually-- whether we are aware of them or not. Maybe we have them but don't see them as God sees them. They are "teraphim" and, like the prophet Hosea says, we are being destroyed by a lack of knowledge. PLEASE listen to this!!! It is life and death to us; many physically, but virtually ALL spiritually.

This is to be a GREAT comfort and encouragement! But the converse is true also, "If God is against us, who can possibly be for us?" See with me what the Almighty says to us to make sure where we stand, and then to rejoice in what we have or to repent in order to gain it. 

Jesus speaks to us through a leper in Mark. He knows we sometimes struggle with this question, too. We might not realize this is what we're asking, but we are. I do often. That's how this message came about. Martha and Mary asked. Jesus asked the Father, too. Listen to hear what HE may be saying to you.

China and other Gospel-snuffing nations are eroding and taking away believers' access to spiritual nourishment. America and the world are and/or will be following suit. What do you and I do in these times? Listen to what the Bible reveals to us! It's great hope. NO anxiety, NO fear, NO stress. Ever-present joy.

Our words, actions, dress, habits-- all these things and more-- are what we do, and in effect say to those around us. We tell people who we think we are, but without realizing it we are asking them. And we're asking the wrong ones. Please tune in.

Dealing with frustration, demotivation, demoralization with superiors and others, especially concerning work? God's Word has something to say about this, and we should listen and heed.

Have you ever wrestled with feeling overwhelmed with too much to do and not enough time or resources? How should that concern the Christian? How should that concern the unbeliever? The Bible and its eternal relevancy to life does address this.

A lot of people have a very wrong comprehension of free will and grace, even a lot of Christians. This needs to be straightened out. Eternity is at stake, even if you think you're ok. Maybe you are. Maybe you're not. Let's see what the Lord says to us!

What is the right model for the home, society and, especially, the church? And who or what was, and is, to blame for its change? And will it return? Let Gentile women and men, and brothers and sisters-in-the-Lord get their roles and functions right again. Does this affect you? Quite possibly!

Jesus taught that there's something MUCH more important than whitewashing yourself. What defiles comes from within--and that is affected by our worldly or spiritual intake-- and the CHURCH better pay attention to what He's telling us. That includes me and you. And if it's important for the believer, how much more for the unsaved?
