Pulpit Power Podcast

Do you want to be everybody's friend/buddy? Do you try to pacify friends and family? There is no way, you can pacify everyone. There will be people you will irritate, because of the different stands you take or opinions you have. Don't compromise your stand for anyone! You can't be pleasing everyone. Instead of pleasing man, who is impossible to please, we should strive to please God!

Has God been "yelling" at you to repent of your sins? Do you think that you don't have to repent because you are saved? Do you sometimes think that God is "letting" others get by with sin but you always feel guilty? No matter how BIG or small our sins are, we should be repenting of our sins. Others might be "getting away" with their sin, but know that God is watching and knows when everyone commits sin. We need to repent of our sins and be right with God. Remember that God will NEVER sweep anything under the carpet.

Have you spiritually died in your Christian walk? Have you lost your zeal? We should follow Jesus as our modeled zeal in our Christian walk! While we are being zealous for Jesus, we need to be careful that it is not misguided. There are some small trivial things we should not be zealous over. We need to be zealous in our good works, BUT only as a born-again Christian. Jesus paid for our sins at the cross, and good works CANNOT get us into heaven! Are you ZEALOUS for God?

Does your church sugar coat sin or do they tell you like it is? We need true friends that tell us, "Hey! You are in the wrong and that is against the Bible!". We don't people telling us, "It is ok! Life goes on, you will be fine!". We are not worthy to be considered God's children. God is beyond perfect and we are just sinful creatures. But God loves us so much that He sent His Son to die for us, so we can go to heaven. We will never have world peace, until we take care of peace in our homes, churches, and even cities.

If we are skillful in our talents, why not become skillful in soul winning? When we are witnessing, we need to be mindful of people's past and their insecurities. If we are asked, "How do you KNOW there is a God?, do you we know how to answer the question? Pastor Scheving gives some powerful points and and some answers to the questions people ask every day about God and the Bible.

Do you let other people discourage you? Do you feel as if you have fallen from the wayside? Is it hard for you to press on in your Christian walk? Do you let other "things" distract you to keep your from finishing? Please listen to Pastor Scheving's message and may you feel blessed and encouraged!
