Every once in a while the monotony of driving the Interstate is broken by some interesting signs. Sometimes I'll see one and my mind will get going, and it will process what I saw and I'll think about it for several minutes. I remember one in particular. There was a big, old truck speeding down the Interstate and it had in bold letters this sign: "Guaranteed Destruction of Confidential Files and Records." Well, that got me going! There was also a phone number. I didn't write it down; I didn't actually have any need for their services. But there was a number to call if you wanted all your confidential things destroyed. I thought about who might want a service such as that. I brainstormed some intriguing reasons and some intriguing people who might want to call that number. Guaranteed destruction! Actually, there's another sign that interests us even more.

I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Guaranteed Disclosure."

Our word for today from the Word of God comes from 1 Corinthians 4, and I'll begin reading at verse 4. Paul says, "My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness, and He will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time, each will receive his praise from God."

This phrase that brings to light the hidden things and exposing the motive of men's hearts in the original Greek has the thought of turning something inside out; opening all the closets, showing what no one else has seen before. In other words, God is going to expose every secret. Now, there might be some who think they've destroyed all the evidence. The fellow driving that truck, he had that sign that said, "Will destroy your confidential files and records."

Did you know that no matter who destroys them on earth, God still has His copy? He knows every detail of every one of your financial dealings, every financial transaction, and every business transaction. He knows the letters you have written that you want no one else to see. He knows your motives, your websites. He's recorded every idle word, every angry word, and every dirty word. We think we got away with it because no one else knew. If God knows, you're caught, and He does. And so will everyone else one day.

That's why the Apostle John says, "Walk in the light as He is in the light." It's so freeing to be able to live saying, "I've got nothing to hide." Live without sinful secrets. You don't have to worry then if the closets come open. There's nothing there to hide. Live lives that are relaxed and confident, because you've got no fear of discovery; you don't have to keep looking over your shoulder. When you're living within the limits, you don't have to keep looking in the rearview mirror to see if the law enforcement is coming over the hill.

Again, some of the most liberating words in the world; look in the mirror, "Nothing to hide." Isn't that awesome?

God's sign says: "Guaranteed Disclosure of Confidential Files and Records." So, live the kind of life that isn't afraid of everybody knowing, because they will.

Bible prophecy is not meant to scare us, but to prepare us.

In this message, explore what Jesus shared about His return. Learn about the signs to watch for, what to do in preparation, and what it means to "watch and pray" as we live with expectancy.

The future isn't uncertain for God's people. We've read the final chapter, and we know the outcome: Jesus wins.

In A Giving Heart, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims that praise without sacrificial giving is incomplete and ineffective. Drawing from Psalm 103 and 1 Chronicles 29, Dr. Youssef shows that true praise kneels in submission and overflows in generous giving. King David did not merely sing—he gave his fortune to build the Temple, proving his loyalty and gratitude to the Lord. This episode urgently calls believers to repent of hollow praise and self-centeredness and instead confirm their praise through joyful generosity. Biblical giving is not loss—it is sowing for eternal reward. When praise and giving meet, the Church becomes a powerful witness, and the lost see Christ exalted.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week, Biochemist Dr. Fazale Rana discussed the pros and concerns of the new gene editing technology CRISPR. A former Muslim shared her journey to Christ and why we need to pray for Iranian believers who are facing increased persecution. Olivier Melnick from Shalom in Messiah ministries was back to address the ongoing attacks on Jews across the world and why popular accusations of colonization, occupation, apartheid and genocide by the Jews have no basis in history or truth. Dr. Sam Storms joined us for an important conversation about the exclusivity of the gospel and why Jesus is, was, and ever shall be the ONLY ways of salvation. He took us deep into John 14:6 & Romans 1:18-25 and explained why all of God’s word is focused on one goal: Salvation. The attack on efforts to lead people away from same-sex struggles is spreading, so Wayne Blakely shared with us a new documentary addressing this very serious issue and the ongoing attacks on religious freedom. It is time to put some of the biggest headlines of the week under the unflinching magnifying glass of God’s word.
