Hope for Today

Christian disciplines are vital to our spiritual growth. It's difficult to navigate life without the application of God’s Word. When we read the Bible we are feeding ourselves with spiritual food to help us through the days, weeks, months, and years to come. Bible intake is necessary. There are other disciplines such as prayer, fasting, worship, serving, and giving, that enrich our lives and equip us to live victoriously.

II Timothy 3:16-17 says, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." The Word of God and its application is our lifeline. We will be blessed and filled when we hunger and thirst for righteousness.

Join us Tuesday, June 16, 2020, at 3:30 PM, PDT. We will explore the practicality of Christian disciplines in the believer's life.

Daily, our national affairs reveal the root problem of a wicked heart. Hatred, prejudice, and racism, just to name a few symptoms, are deeply rooted in the history of America. The most recent police shootings and killings are causing people to rise up and say, "Enough is enough!"  The wicked heart is a condition that only God can remedy. It is God alone who can give us a new heart and put a new spirit within us. He has to remove the heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh. The state of our nation is best described in Isaiah chapter 1:4, "Woe to the sinful nation, a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the Lord; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him." Join us Tuesday, June 2, 2020, at 3:30 PM, PDT.  We will talk about Jesus being the answer to the sinful heart condition of mankind yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  Call in to speak to host (646) 668-2946 Hope4Today is an outreach program of Yield to the King Ministry.

Wherever God has called us, we need to walk in boldness and confidence in Christ Jesus, because God has equipped us. He may send us down into the valley to make our ascent up to the mountain top.  Along this journey, who will be our companions – the naysayers or the praisers?  Daily, we are being prepared by our Heavenly Father to get to high places. We will make our ascent if we just trust God.  

Habakkuk 3:19 says, "The Lord God is my strength, and He has made my feet like hinds’ feet and makes me walk on my high places. The promise is we are given hind feet that are swift, firm, and steady. And, God will always give us the ability, by His strength, to live victoriously. 

Join us Tuesday, May 19, 2020, at 3:30 PM, PDT, as we discuss ways to walk in spiritual freedom and joy, amid chaos. Regardless of our circumstances, we can find the fullest measure of joy in the Lord.

We talk to people all the time --in-person, over the phone, or through various communication and video apps. When we engage in conversation with others, we share what's on our hearts. It's a comfort to have a listening ear. Hopefully, everyone has a confidant who fullfils that role. What happens when the role is shifted? Do we listen and become self-involved? Do we listen and disregard the other person's feelings? Or, do we always listen waiting for the opportunity to give an answer? Proverbs 1:5-6 says, "let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance—for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise." (NIV) We like to have a listening ear. However, oftentimes it's difficult for us to respond to that very need of someone and do the same. Join us Tuesday, April 21, 2020, at 3:30 PM, PDT, as we consider the importance of hearing, listening, and learning when in conversation.

Over the past couple of months, I've been praying more than ever before. "Why?" I asked myself. All I could come up with are these two words "uncertainty"and "unknown" that best describe my feelings. And yes, it has everything to do with COVID-19! As for the word uncertainty –well who knows exactly what is going to happen next? And, as for the word unknown --well who can predict the outcome of our overall health, wealth, and security? The only response I have to offer is God is sovereign and I trust Him! I Peter 3:12 says, "For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."(NIV) Join us Tuesday, April 7, 2020, at 3:30 PM, PDT,as we pray one for another and encourage each other to be still and rely on God.

Discipline for the Christian is a must! Think of it this way, we need "spritiual disciplines for the Christian life." I didn't think up this phrase. It's actually the title of a book in my library. The authors are Donald S. Whitney and the forward is by J. I. Packer, two writers with whom we are very familiar. The word "discipline" can carry a negative connotation and brings to mind punishment. While growing up, I was diciplined by my parents. Even today, I am still being disciplined by my Heavenly Father to whom I belong. Hebrews 12:11 (NIV) says, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."  Discipline also means teach, coach, and drill. Those words shed light on what we must consider doing to grow in godliness. Join us Tuesday, February 25, 2020, at 3:30 PM, PST.We will talk about practicing 10 basic spiritual disciplines that will help us get out of the weeds so we can start producing a harvest.

Apologetics is a big word.  It basically means to offer an apology.  So you might ask, why are we apologizing for our belief in Christ Jesus?  In answer to that question -- we're not!  Apologetics is developing and using a defense or being able to give an explanation to others. God's Word is always under attack, both unintentionally and intentionally.  And, as believers in Christ, we claim the Bible is the absolute authoritative guide in our lives. How then, do we defend our faith? The Bible? Or, our belief in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord?  We know that in Jesus there is hope!  I Peter 3:15 says, "..but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence..." (NASB).  Join us Tuesday, February 11, 2020, at 3:30 PM, PST.  We will explore Christian apologetics as a means of defending biblical truth that is revealed in the Old and New Testaments. Call in to speak with the host (646) 668-2946 Hope4Todayis an outreach program of Yield to the King Ministry.

Here in the United States of America, we have the United States Constitution that starts with "We the people" and goes on to establish national government and fundamental laws and guarantees certain basic rights for its citizens. The Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787. Also, in America, we have a national flag a symbol to which Americans publicly pledge our allegiance to the United States of America. This flag represents privilege and freedom to all citizens!

To whom and what do we pledge our allegiance? Is nationality (belonging to a certain country) above the case and cause of Jesus Christ?  We are ambassadors for Christ, promoting His gospel of salvation for all who believe. The Apostle Paul said it well, "We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God."II Cor. 5:20 (NIV)

Join us on Tuesday, January 28, 2020, at 3:30 PM, PST.  We will explore our allegiance to Christ, as His ambassadors.

Sometimes I wish I had a huge magnifying glass to see what I'm missing. The purpose of a magnifying glass is to enlarge that which appears small or seems to be unclear to the naked eye. In other words, it improves our vision! The question for the day is "How can we improve our vision of God the Father so we can see Him amid our daily living activities?"

The Book of Romans, 1:20, says, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse...…"(NIV)  With the Holy Spirit's help, we can see God's hands in all things, feel His almighty power, and experience His steadfast love.

Join us Tuesday, January 14, 2020, at 3:30, PST.  We will examine the obvious –that being, God is the creator of all things. Yet for some, answers the question of why it is a hidden picture to the naked eye.
