Your Place

We know from our own walk of faith that it's easier to judge others around us, instead of trying to help them.  We know that it's easier to complain than it is to put ourselves on the hot seat.  Do you take time to count your blessings?  Do you ever thank God that you live in a country that, as messed up as things are, you have the right to worship as you please?  Tonight, we are going to bring you some audio from two great speakers.  Billy Cole and Nona Freemen.  We've chosen these two examples, not that there aren't many others, but these are grand examples of lives that were commited to the call of God.  They have been tremendous inspiration to others.  Just like with the song that started this show, the clips we have for you is to get you to think outside of the box.

Welcome to the show tonight.  We are taking on a subject that has a lot of depth to it. There are many varied opinions.  The show has to do with what the Bible has to say regarding his people and their hair.   We live in a time where people still say many of the same things regarding God's word, but the meanings are changed and under debate in our society, and churches.  We treat the Bible and God's will like Burger King...we want it our way or no way at all.  Since we are not the person who has established what is sin, wouldn't you agree that it is not smart to take a chance?  ...Some people say that it really doesn't matter what a person does with their hair, because it's not by works that we are saved.  Wild Bill thinks that we live in a time where the lines between men and women are so compromised that many people are confused.  No doubt that God has put things in place becouse he knows what we need.  Wouldn't you agree that it is stupidity to think that we know more than God, and make an opinon based on our own thought pattern?  We are bringing you a message preached by one of the great speakers of our generation, Rev. Lee Stoneking.  We hope that you enjoy the show and share your opinion at the end of the recroding.

We are still taking requests for guest speakers.  You can send us a recording of a speaker to use, but we would like to have the speaker available to answer questions when possible.  We are also planning to have a couple of shows dedicated to gospel music. Please send us recordings of your music for these programs.  We have people who like our show, and those who share how they feel when we get off base.  We welcome all of you! We live in a time where the entire world feels that it is more enlightened then previous generations.  Tolerance seems to be the message.  But was the message of Jesus just as progressive toward people, but firm against what sin was?  When the people were about to stone a woman who was guilty of her charges, Jesus stood in the gap and said, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."  It appears sometimes, that due to weak minds and discipline, that we have set up formats in our church so that we are no longer  separate, but segregated.  A segregation put in place to help those of faith stay faithful, instead of providing a sanctuary or life change experience to the people we are called to evangelize,. This is a sticky playing field for people in church.  But have we taken the interaction of Jesus out of the equation to establish our own rules and principals just like the early Jews did when God grafted in the wild vine?  We talk so much about balance, but is this balance of our own choice and decision VS. what Jesus has called us to do?  We do not claim to have the answer, but feel that it's important to give you something that will cause you to think about where you are, and hit your knees to allow the Holy Ghost to speak in your life. As always, we look forward to your comments as we never claim to be the experts. Tonight we bring you an older message from someone who has a lot of history with the Pentecostal churches.

Last week we took the lighter side with our show using comedy.  We had a lot of new listeners that were seeking something light to listen to.  Blog Talk Radio has made some changes to their web site, and how it's found by people searching the web. For those of you that are finding our show for the first time,  we want to thank you for taking time to listen.  Our format is one for the entire family most of the time.  We will always tell you if we feel a show is a little mature for children, and we aren't afraid to take on topics that concern people.  One thing that makes us different is that we always look at these issues from a christian perspective, and we don't use our editing ability to make your voice lower so we can drown out your opinion on the topic.  That is why our show is called Your Place.  We may not agree with what you have to say, but we value your input.  We feel that we all grow from taking the time to listen to others.  We have a large following from our deployed military, and want to thank them for their service. And we ask that all of you remember them in your prayers.  They are somebody's family.  To these people they are known by their name, and their personality.  To millions more, they are just known as our United States military.  But to all of us they should be a priority in our thoughts and prayers.  You may not know their name, but God does.  Tonight we are going to go back to comedy to take advantage of the new changes in the blog talk search format.  Check out and download our archived shows.  We love hearing from all of you, and we are taking requests for guest speakers, topics, and even christian music from you or your church.

We wanted to lighten up the show this week and bring you some comedy.  The Bible tells us that a merry heart works just like a medicine.  So tonight, we have brought you some clips to tickle your funny bone!  The first one reminds us of Wild Bill's late grandfather, Joe Powell. This is for you Paw!

We want to thank all of you that have taken the time to respond to last weeks show.  We must be doing something right as last week we had 3 people that listened to our show live and a little over 1,100 people that listened to the archives of that show!  We had a few responses from people who did not like or agree with our coverage of the topic.  As always we never claim to be the expert and would love for you to voice your opinions on the show.  As always we are not afraid to take on any topic but will always cover it from a christian view point.  We do not always take the majority thought on a topic that most christians follow but I think that is what makes this show refreshing.  We are still feeling a pull to stay with the topic of the Bible and how it applies.  Getting to heaven is not like going to Chicago.  There is only one way to get to Heaven and we all start at the same place as a sinner.  There is also only one road map and that is the Bible.  Just like any map there is going to be different interpretations of what it is saying.  But just like taking a trip if you take a wrong turn it is you that will bear the concequences of the wrong actions taken.  The Bible let's us know that our route was planned before mankind was even created and the author is watching over his word to perform it in the lives of his people.  Sis. Bobblie Lively is helping us out again tonight.  We want to thank her for what she has always added to this show.  If you have a topic or want to be a guest speaker on this show please contact us.

There is nothing like the innocence and directness of a child's faith.  Listening to these songs makes it more clear why Jesus told us to be like little children.  Last week Wild Bill knew that there was no way possible we could cover the topic in one show.  The guest speaker thought it could all be covered in one show even though she had over 70 pages of notes on the topic!.  Wild Bill always wants it to be noted when he is right and someone else is wrong.  So Wild Bill it has been noted.  In case you missed last weeks show we encourage you to go to the archives and listen to this show.  You will not be disappointed.  Our guest speaker is a published author, has worked in youth ministry, taught in christian school, has recorded gospel albums, written songs, worked music ministry, started youth outreach programs, is a certified councilor, graduated from a christian college, is a licensed preacher, has taught Sunday school classes of all ages, taught minister classes, had a world wide radio show for years, was a pastor of a new church work that had a Christian school, and most important she is the mother of Wild Bill and Joy Bells!  She is back tonight to bring you part II of the lesson that was started last week.  Since she only got to page 4 of her notes it may be that this could go on for another show!  This topic is one of such depth and nobody shares it like Sis Bobblie Lively who is also known as blog talk mom here at Your Place.  So Sis Lively we are glad that you are back with us to share your knowledge with us again tonight.

If we ever had a show that everybody should listen to is the topic we are bringing to you over the next few weeks! The topic is much needed and we have brought you one of the greatest teachers of this topic to bring it to you! Sis Bobbie Lively has been on this journey of faith for many years.  Her experience, personal knowledge, devotion to study and teach is one we feel blessed to take advantage of for ourselves and share with you. We all have things that we believe is true and we put our confidence in. How many times have we found that we have put faith in something that turned out to be not true? In building a relationship with God what do you use as your foundation of your faith?  Do you take the word of a preacher, Sunday school teacher, or family member as your absolute authority on the relationship that God wants to have with you?  Do you do the same when it comes to your relationships with friends, your job, your hobbys, or romantic interest.  Of course not!  You use these people to help you set up a base line, but you build your own relationships based on your personal interactions with these people.  It takes time to learn if the word of a person is who the person really is or if they are just show. But this does not change the fact that you have to listen to their words and match it with their actions to make an informed decision.     We do not know how many shows it will take to cover all of the details of this topic but we want our guest speaker to take as much time as needed.  We encourage your questions.  A foundation with cracks in it is not stable to build on.  The foundation needs to be the strongest point of your building! To have your foundation any less in building your relationship with God is not wise and could cost you your salvation.  What is more important to you then your salvation?  I hope your response is nothing!

We are sorry that we could not bring you a show last week. We started to schedule to play and older show again but this only plays for those that listen online but does not broadcast over the phone anymore. We hoped that this might give you the opportunity to listen to an older show from our archives. We had some interesting feedback after the last show that we broadcasted on creation.  We took a few minutes to try to clarify what our message was that we were trying to get out in that show.  I also had a few feedbacks regarding people thinking that I have drank the kool-aid on our current political situations and leadership.  We tried to clarify our stand on this as well.   It is no surprise to you that their is a lot of sickness going on at this time.  Most of us call it the flu, but in truth there are several things going on at this time and we wanted to open up this show as a resource to this topic.  It was interesting that Bill found information that showed some of his thought process regarding the flu shot was incorrect.  So we shared this information with you as well as a warning regarding improper use of off the shelf medications.

We want to wish all of you a Happy New year and pray that God blesses you in 2013 as never before.  We want to encourage all of you to remember your prayer list.  If you do not know what we are talking about you can go back to the archives and take part in pur practical application of God's word show.  We have so many limitations but through prayer there is no limitation of what can and will do for those things we bring to God in prayer.  We know that with the holidays that old family that issues are sometimes brought to the forefront.  Our emotions sometimes get the best of us and others that we love...but during the holidays can feel more like hate.  Most people do not have Brady Bunch family holiday specials in their homes.  We mention this to share with you that this is a great starting point in putting together things that you want to change about yourself.  It is also a great time to realize we only see what appears on the surface of our loved ones, and we can put them on our prayer list before God to help them with their own personal crisis.  Even if the personal crisis turns out to be us.  Tonight we are going to try to share the specific plan of God in all aspects of his realtioniship with his people.  Part of this will cover the attack that is taking place against the word of God.  We are going to try to lay out the foundation of this with the creation of this world.  If this is your first time to listen to the show push one on your phone if you want to share a comment or ask a question at the end of the show. You will be identified by the last four numbers of your phone number.
