The Implanted Word Podcast

Once an argument grows into a heated fight, it’s easy for feelings to get hurt, isn’t it? Relationships can be broken, and they can be difficult to mend. All of that heartache can start from something that’s really not that important. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will challenge you to be very careful before opening the floodgates of an argument. Stop it before it starts, so relationships won’t be harmed. Don’t let yourself get worked up over minor problems. It’s important to value people over problems.

What gives us a merry heart? We’re really talking about joy, not fleeting happiness. If it’s based on how much money we have in the bank, how many possessions we’ve accumulated, or how well the circumstances of our lives are going, we’ll probably be disappointed. In his message today, Pastor Bill will encourage you to base your joy on your relationship with Jesus. Remember all that you’ve received through Christ. He loved you when you didn’t deserve it. He’s forgiven you and given you a relationship with Him.

Why is controversy so hard for us to resist? When someone has a hot take on social media or TV, we either are quick to add our praise or are moved to be offended. We are attracted to the negative take in some way. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will encourage you to steer clear of the negativity of social media and really everywhere in our world today. Those messages are out there to manipulate you into boosting their numbers. Instead, think on what is pure. Focus on all that is love, light, and good.

Getting purified or improving in an area of life is never fun, is it? Who likes to be sore and tired from working out or exercising? Graduating from high school or college takes a lot of discipline to study and learn. In his message today, Pastor Bill will challenge you to embrace being purified by God even though it can hurt. Your heart is in need of being refined, but the fire and heat that it takes to refine you will be uncomfortable. God wants to make you better, more pure, and a more effective follower.

You've probably heard that hard work can provide you with whatever you want in life. As a Christian, you may begin to believe that because God’s on your side, He’ll provide for all of your needs, without any action or effort on your part. In today's message, Pastor Bill outlines why you should become a diligent worker. God admires those who trust Him. He also is honored when people put forth the effort needed, and He blesses them accordingly! When you give your all for Jesus, you’ll get your reward! 

We all make mistakes; that's just how we are. We are fallible in life and often make incorrect decisions. The Bible refers to those who live this way as being foolish. But have you ever thought about how you can make the proper decisions in life? Today, Pastor Bill explains how to start listening to God. In order to make better life decisions, he suggests accepting your imperfections and choosing to listen to the corrections of others, including God. All you have to do is embrace humility!

We all understand how our government and judiciary systems work. Certain leaders are selected and appointed to lead the state or country. Those leaders need to have the appropriate perspective about everything. Today, Pastor Bill explains how God can help you see things from the right perspective. When you accept Jesus into your heart, He changes your life and helps you see the world from a different viewpoint. When God is on your side, you can be confident that He’ll help you make the proper decision!

Scientists throughout the world are working to determine a verifiable possibility for how the human race began. You may have heard the hypothesis that humans descended from apes, among other possibilities. But do you realize the true cause for your existence? Today, Pastor Bill discusses how the Bible validates the concept of creation. The human body contains numerous complex threads in its DNA that can only be created by something or someone. The only possible answer is that God created mankind!

You are likely to meet people who are always thinking about how to hurt others with their words or deeds, as well as being disrespectful in their behavior. But there will always be times in their lives when they need God's healing or something from Him. Do you think God would hear their prayers? Today, Pastor Bill explains how to be a righteous person. God appreciates those who are kind and merciful to others. When you help those in need, you can be certain that your Creator will bless you abundantly!

We usually have a list of chores that have been assigned to us or created by us to fulfill. However, due to laziness and procrastination, we often delay and make excuses for not completing assigned tasks. But do you know what the Bible says about laziness? Today, Pastor Bill advises you to get your act together and begin grinding in life. God dislikes lazy people. When you give your all in everything you do, God recognizes your efforts and will bless you accordingly. All you need to do is give your best!
