Podcast 182: Ambassadors for the Prince of Peace

/in /by

As the world descends into angry, hateful collections of people, it will be easier than we might think to join in. But blessed are the peacemakers! We are to represent a coming kingdom of peacemakers, which means we need to learn how to make peace in the small, personal worlds we’ve each been given. Today, we discuss being a peacemaker and offer three pieces of biblical advice for becoming one.

We also refer to Mr. Peter Nathan’s July-August 2016 Living Church News article, “Blessed Are the Peacemakers.” To read it, just click on the title (or here). And if you are reading this today, the day we are posting it, then we hope you have a wonderful Sabbath and a meaningful fast!

Podcast 181: They Want to Draft Your Mind…

/in /by

There is an ongoing effort—from big corporations and governments to social movements and influencers—to draft your mind to help with their causes. Many of us sign right up without realizing it. Maybe you have, too. But God desires you to be part of a different cause. Stop signing up for theirs and stay focused on His. On today’s podcast, we talk about principles to help keep us focused.

We also talk about a sermon in the episode today, but for once we can’t link to it, because it’s not out yet! But keep your eye out for it—either in services or on the Living Church of God sermon channel on YouTube, because it likely will be soon: Mr. Rod McNair’s sermon “Because Our Citizenship Is in Heaven.”

/in /by

Mr. Mark Sandor is in town for the big family weekend, so we decided to take advantage of his presence to address some questions submitted by our wonderful listeners. On this episode, we have questions about who can keep the Passover, when to counsel for baptism, avoiding worldly attitudes about dating, and being open with God in prayer. We hope you’ll join us!

We mention several resources in today’s podcast. Here are links to each:

Podcast 176: The Blessings of Keeping the Bible’s Holy Days

/in /by

If we’re willing to step out in faith and observe the Bible’s holy days—the feasts of God listed in its pages and kept by the first-century Church—instead of the counterfeit days proffered to us by counterfeit Christianity, we find there are many blessings that become ours. In this episode, we discuss five blessings we hope you won’t take for granted. Join us!

In this week’s podcast, we encourage you to read (or read again!) the booklet The Holy Days: God’s Master Plan. You might already have it in your home, but if not, you can find it at that link. (Or this one!)

Podcast 173: Taking Personal Responsibility—with Mr. Phil Sena!

/in /by

Today, Mr. Phil Sena stops by, and we talk about the vital importance of taking personal responsibility—especially in a world that is passionately teaching us to invest more in blaming others or characterizing ourselves as victims. Join us as we open our Bibles and see what God has to say on the topic.

Podcast 172: The Inside Always Affects the Outside

/in /by

It’s easy to think that we can be one way when we’re alone and another in public, or to buy into the idea that one’s private, personal choices are not in any way anyone else’s business, because one has nothing to do with the other. But, in reality, the inside always impacts the outside, and individual choices do have societal ramifications. Let’s apply some biblical thinking to the question.

P.S. You know, we lamented at the end of this podcast that we had not provided more tips and advice on how to address what’s on the inside. We’ve talked about doing an episode on shepherding your heart, and we probably should! So, as a small step in that direction, we thought it would be helpful to share one of Dr. Roderick Meredith’s sermons on having a positive attitude. There is more to say, to be sure, but at least this can help get you started! Here it is: “Build a Positive Attitude!”
