Reason for Truth

Ecclesiastes 4:4-16 tells us that a man’s envy of his neighbor is what drives him to chase after the winds of success in this world. Today, I am going to show you through Ecclesiastes 4 what is really going on as the new world order is changing rapidly through competition. And the question is what does it mean to work hard. Is it vanity? What about competition-is it good? We will begin to explore these issues in today's episode. Let’s get started.

All of us experience temptations daily. Whether that is temptation with food, money, power or sex, Satan and our fallen modern world is bent on tempting us in every area, on every level. Today, we are going to dig into the Book of James, Chapter 1, verses 13-18 in explaining the pedigree of trials-explaining temptation in verses 13-15.

The Bible says: “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in His own image” (Genesis 9:6) and Leviticus 24:17 states, "Whoever takes the life of any human being shall be put to death". 
The Bible DOES MANDATE the death penalty in certain circumstances.

We (America) are a “National of Laws”. If we don’t properly, swiftly and justly execute the law, we end up-quickly becoming “Lawless”. While Japan has a "Shame" culture, the United States has a "Guilt" culture. The right thing is to have a "biblical culture".

In 2024, 62% of US adults invested in the stock market, according to Statista. This is a 20 year high. 87% of upper-income, 65% of middle-income, and 25% of lower-income Americans own stocks. TODAY, through James 1:9-12, I am going to show you how we as Christians are to invest above all other means. Furthermore, we are going to learn what God tells us in light of how we are to act and think in relation to the amount, levels and value of our earthly investments.

There are givers and takers in this world. Like a tiger, people show their true stripes as a “giver” or “taker” when given the chance. Today, I am going to show you through Genesis chapter 12 how Lot’s selfish and sinful “taking” heart was unveiled when given the choice by Abram to choose which part of the land he wanted to inhabit.

When we share the Gospel message, we are often considered fools. It’s not the Gospel’s fault and it’s not God’s fault. The problem lies with the heart of the person you are talking with. Our message is not foolish-it’s the people who listen but fail to accept Christ who are foolish.  “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believers. To the Jew first, but also to the gentiles” (Romans 116). It’s in the uncompromising Gospel where the power of God resides. And it’s in the uncompromising Gospels is where the power to save and to change people’s lives is. So, let’s worry more about giving out the true message of the Cross and a lot less about what people think of us. If we do that, lives will change, and the world will never be the same-but for the better.
