Podcast - The Greg Lancaster Show, Live from the Glory Zone.

John, Pat, and Steve discuss how Syria’s civil war is spilling into Israel. They continue to discuss how it’s not just important to know the news but you need to know what to do with the news you know. There is so much noise today that you need to pay close attention to not miss what is really going on. They further discuss how Israel not only has 170,000 missles aimed at her, Israel has concern over the southern border on the Gaza strip and now Israel faces the worst conflict on the northern border with Syria than they have in decades. They encourage not only to pray for Israel’s safety but also to pray for the salvation of the Jews. They encourage us to be a faithful friend to Israel and to remember God’s promise in His word that He will bless those who bless Israel.

They encourage us not change our message but to change our audience.

Building on the Right Foundation; the implemented and "practiced" word of God

John, Greg, and Pat discuss the importance on building on the right foundation which is the implemented and practiced Word of God. They continue to share that it matters very little how many sermons we hear and if we read the Bible cover to cover if we don’t implement and practice the word of God in our daily lives. Matthew 7:24-27“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” It’s the one who hears the word of God and puts it into practice is the one who is building on a solid foundation. They continue to discuss how many are continuing to build yet they have no foundation. Jesus told us that we will face trials and tribulations of many kinds and when the storms do come what has been built on the wrong foundation will truly come down and crash. They encourage us to embrace an abiding relationship with God and to begin to implement and practice His word in our lives. The things of God are not difficult. Mark Twain said that it’s not the things he doesn’t understand in the Bible that give him the toughest problem it’s the things he does understand. We must not be left to our understanding alone but must rely truly on the Word of God that we have embraced and practiced in our life that we may become more like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

62% of Palestinians surveyed don't want America's plan for peace President Obama is presenting

Greg, John, and Pat discuss how Israel yet again is being disrespected on the world stage. It’s important for us to know that Israel is a time clock for the church. Almost on a daily basis Israel is consistently being discussed in the news. Just recently it is being reported by the Jerusalem Post that a journalist was denied a passport to enter Saudi Arabia to cover President Obama’s trip to the country. It still has not yet been determined whether the visa was denied because the journalist was a member of the media or because of religion. They continue to discuss how it is being reported that 62% of Palestinians surveyed don’t agree with the recent United States led plan for a two state solution between the Palestinians and Israel. Still with all the concessions Israel is willing to make in giving up a piece of their land there is a great majority of Palestinians that are still not for it as they refuse to acknowledge Israel as a Jewish state. They continue to discuss the irony of such people demanding that a piece of bread be broken off for their benefit yet they refused to acknowledge the true and legitimate existence of the piece of bread they want a piece of. Israel is plainly being disrespected as they continually are willing to make concessions for peace with a people who refuse to acknowledge them.

Did You Know that God so Enjoys Your Company that He Dances?

Greg, John, and Pat discuss how God dances over you as they discuss Dutch Sheets new book The Pleasure of His Company. They continue to discuss how just this thought alone would ruin some people’s perception of God but the truth is that God is not like us we are like Him. We are made in the image of God. If we feel emotions like pain and joy we can only imagine the depths and levels of emotions that God feels. We must understand we cry because God cries’ we laugh because He laughs. God is so full of emotion for his creation and loves each person so very much in fact before we turned our hearts to Him he loved us enough to die for us. God is excited over you and filled with exuberant joy for his creation and the word of God tells in in Zephaniah 3:17 that God rejoices over you with joyful songs. He dances over you. If God be for you who can be against you?

America: VULNERABLE on Every Front: Only Hope Turn to God

John, Greg, and Pat discuss how the vulnerabilities that exist in America and how her only hope is for her turning to God and God alone. They continue to discuss how America is possible more vulnerable now than any time in history. The truth is that every person, company, country etc. you name all have vulnerabilities. They further discuss that to be vulnerable means to be open, exposed, capable of and susceptible to being wounded or hurt as well as making it difficult to defend. The truth is that no matter how big or strong you are you will always have areas in your life of weakness and vulnerabilities that if taken advantage of will take you down. For instance, just look at our nation and what is happening today. We are vulnerable on so many fronts especially when it comes to the defense of our borders in particular what is happening in Mexico. We are vulnerable with a weakened and thinned out military. We are vulnerable with an economy that is more fragile than your mother’s china. We are vulnerable in our food with now only 2% of our country producing food for 98% of the population. More people are now coming into the awareness that we are vulnerable in the power grids that are scattered around the country namely those that are close to the Silicon Valley and the New York Stock exchange. CBN reports of the significant terror threat that exists when it comes to taking out one of our nation’s power grids. In fact it has been said that if the planes on 9-11 hit the power grid that powers the New York Stock Exchange that would have caused even more chaos and destruction than what had occurred first to N.Y. , the rest of the nation, and to the nations of the world. America has not just become vulnerable but it has always had these weak and exposed spots. The real issue is this points to what has kept our control safe in years past is her humility and being one nation under God. They continue to share with us the reason America has not suffered more is because of God’s rich mercy extended to her giving us all the opportunity to repent and to turn to God.
