Live the Bible with Wayne Stiles

The Bible serves as our portal through time. 

It not only tells us about the past (which isn’t that hard), but it also tells us about the future—all the way to the end. Even better? It tells us why it matters.  

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at 1 Peter 4 where Peter tells us that the end is near—and what we can do before Jesus comes.

What’s your motive? 

That simple question can help reboot our minds each day. Here’s why. 

 In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at 1 Peter 5 as it challenges us to preview our actions through the filter of our motives.

This one question, more than any, can help reframe our thinking and set us on a path of success for the day.

There’s a lion out to get you. 

No, not a large feline. I’m talking about your greatest enemy—a spiritual foe whom the Apostle Peter likes to a ferocious beast who lurks and looks for a chance to lunge. 

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look in 1 Peter 5 at a subject so few people talk about today—and that includes so few Christians—the subject of Satan. The Bible clearly teaches he exists, that he is bent on our destruction, and most importantly, that we can stand strong against him.

Peter tells us how.

Healthy eating and exercise often find their way to our list of goals. 

But what your about spiritual eating and exercise? 

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at 2 Peter 1 and seven qualities the Lord tells us we need in order to succeed. In fact, all 7 are found in one passage.

Right now is a wonderful time to re-dedicate our lives to growing in our spiritual walk with Christ.

How do you usually remind yourself of something important? 

God reminds us of essential truths He wants us to remember by repeating them—truths we often forget! 

In this episode of Live the Bible, the Apostle Peter writes in 2 Peter 1 about three reminders that matter. These reminders are critical for our walk with God even today.

It’s the best bad news you’ll ever hear. That’s because the bad news is only the first step to the good news. 

And it’s really good!

In this episode of Live the Bible, we learn surprising truths from 2 Peter 2 as we look our culture (and ourselves) right in the face. We see what the Bible has to say about three people: the good, the bad, and the Almighty.

Did I mention it’s good news?

Memorize these three words: Direction—not speed. 

We need to remember these words when we get discouraged about how slowly we seem to progress in our spiritual lives.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at our culture (and ourselves) right in the face. Sometimes looking at bad examples makes us feel better about our lives in comparison, but sometimes these bad examples look a lot like our lives. When that occurs, we shouldn’t be discouraged. We should let the conviction help us turn a corner.

The Apostle Peter shows us that the goal of our spiritual lives is direction—not speed.

Why doesn’t Jesus just hurry up and show up? Great question. 

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at what is taking so long in God’s program. (If He came before April 15, that would be really great.)

We wait on God for a lot of things, don’t we? Today the Apostle Peter reminds us that, in truth, we are not waiting on God as much as God is waiting on us.

If you knew you would die tomorrow, how would that affect today? 

That’s the mindset we need to carry with us all the time.

Today’s prevailing opinion tells you that as long as you’re sincere, you have a seat at God’s table.

As long as your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds, the Almighty will give you a thumb’s up. But that’s not quite right, is it?

Jesus’ words, “No one comes to the Father except through me,” may sound restrictive. But if He’s right, His words are actually the key to all of life.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’ll consider how Jesus’ outrageous words are actually the key to discovering true peace and joy.
