Happy new year from The Word Restores! Part 3 of our faith and fitness series concludes our discussion about why and how health and fitness are important to our faith. Mel Mills shares 10 practical life lessons from his own fitness journey and how you can apply them to getting in shape or any goal in life that you're going after.

Why is good health important to sharing our faith? And more importantly, why does it matter to God? The book of Daniel (1:8-16) gives us a great example some of the benefits and dangers of what we eat and why it matters to everything that we do. Mel Mills is joined again by academic specialist and youth advocate, Stratton Lee, to talk about why good stewardship also means stewarding your body well. Part 2 of this conversation takes a deeper dive into why weight issues are always connected to something greater and the dangers of staying where we are.

The term “iniquity” is scattered throughout the Word of God. In every context, we note that this term is not a pleasant one. As a matter of fact, we begin to recognize that it is related to perverseness, deviation from the right path, lawlessness, unrighteousness, going astray; in other words – sin! So, in this broadcast, we will discuss iniquity, its consequences, an antidote for iniquity, and words of warning to remind us to avoid returning to our old sinful ways as we grow in Christ Jesus. Stay steady the course, in Jesus' name. Amen!

In our last episode, we searched the scriptures to see what God is calling us to do. We noted, as examples, that He has called us to come out of darkness, to come into His Kingdom, to take up our cross and follow Him and to inherit a blessing. In this episode, we will search the scriptures to see what the Word of God is calling us to be. As we seek to answer His call. We will note that He is calling us to be ready for His coming, to be holy, to be faithful, in other words – to be a new creation in Christ.

God is calling us to come closer to Him. But what does it mean to come closer? Are we doing what He has called us to do? The disciples of Jesus were given the charge in Matthew 28:19-20, to go and teach all nations... But prior to this mission, God first drew them to Jesus (John 6:44), then Jesus called them to follow Him, to be with Him, to learn from Him, then to be sent to the nations... So let us search the scriptures to see what the Word of God is telling us about what God has called us to do!

In a simple definition of forgiveness, we recognize that "the word 'forgive' means to wipe the slate clean, to pardon, to cancel a debt." On the flip side, to not forgive means that the slate is still unclean, dirty... There is a spot (small or large) that still needs to be wiped. In this episode, we will hear what Jesus has to say about forgiveness and unforgiveness. It's your choice to let one go!

Please join our discussion with family practitioner, Dr. Christine Lawson, and Sister Ada Clay, on educating women and men on early detection, increased risk factors, and where to get help; particularly for the under-insured. Let us continue to hope and pray for a cure, in Jesus name. Amen!

In our last episode, we talked about Jesus. And we looked, as an example, at Jesus as God, Savior, and Redeemer. Let us continue in the same vein and ask the question, do you know Him? You know there is a popular expression, “it’s not who you know, but who knows you.” So first, we will lay the foundation with the evidence of some who knew Him in the Word of God. Then we will ask the question, what do you know about Him? Whom do you know Him as? Let us walk through the scriptures for our answers.

It is interesting that in certain Christian circles, we talk about Jesus. We talk about how He blessed us, how He is so faithful, how He is my Lord and Savior. But do we really talk about Him? Do we truly understand the depths of what we are saying about Him? Do we know Jesus as God? Do we know Jesus as Lord and Savior? As our Redeemer? As the Anointed One? As our Battle Axe? As our Love? As our Atonement? As the One whose Death gave us everlasting life? Let’s delve into the Word so that we may be more confident of our knowledge of Jesus as we tell others about Him.
