Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

It’s easy to do. You start out knowing that Jesus alone makes you right with God. But then you add to that, until, eventually, you start thinking that these other things are essential too. Well, today, Pastor Daniel urges you to be on guard against any other standards you may rely on to be right with God. Your standing with God isn’t changed by how you do church, how much you give, or anything else. Only Jesus makes the difference.

Everyone has a list in their head of things that make you good enough, what it takes to justify your “good person” status. Well, today, Pastor Daniel invites you to join him in looking at what makes you good enough in God’s eyes. Is it enough to be kind to others and give money to charity once in a while? What does God require you to do? Keep listening to find the answers to these questions as Pastor Daniel investigates God’s law.

There’s a lot of talk about love these days. But it's meaning seems to constantly change. Today, Pastor Daniel shares that God’s definition of love is different from our culture’s.

Ask a group of people where they want to go for dinner and you’ll get a bunch of different answers. Everyone has a different preference.

You’ll learn that living free is about learning how to get along with the people in the family of God even though you may disagree with what they choose.

It’s comforting to know that you’re not alone. And it’s an even bigger deal to know that you’re loved, flaws and all. Well, today, Pastor Daniel continues this look at questions you have about homosexuality and the Bible. He reminds you the church is filled with people who are in process. No one has it all together. We all need God’s grace and forgiveness all the time. With this in mind, Pastor Daniel urges you to welcome in and love others who are struggling, even if you don’t understand that struggle personally.

For many Christians, homosexuality is a difficult subject to talk about. Well, today Pastor Daniel tries to answer questions people have about homosexuality and faith.

And finally, your view should be saturated by God’s love and His desire to draw people to Himself.

When you’re married or have kids, it can be hard to remember what it was like to have the freedom to do whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted to do it. Well, today, Pastor Daniel shares that this is one of the greatest blessings of being single.

Pastor Daniel encourages you to take advantage of this special time by saying yes to God.

Kids are always asking questions. How does it work? Why are you doing that? When will we be there? But you don’t have to be a kid to ask questions.

When you got your driver’s license, you took a written test to prove that you knew the rules of the road. Then, you had to put those rules into practice, actually implement them while driving. Today, Pastor Daniel shares that the same is true in your walk with God. You can know all the right things and sound really good. But to truly walk with God, you have to put your faith into action. God wants you to simply respond to Him in each moment of your day.

Choose Your Own Adventure books…Remember those? Every few pages you got to decide what the character in your book would do next. Well, today, Pastor Daniel explains that you have that same opportunity with the story of your life. Ultimately, you’re given the choice between 2 different roads. One, you’ll discover, will end in life, while the other, will lead to destruction. God wants you to choose the narrow way, to choose life. It’s harder, but it’s worth it.
