The Bible and Our Culture

How to pray for your enemies to repent...

What does the Bible say?  Pray for our enemies to repent.  

Intercession in the face of God's judgment, the Church's sacred role

Does Moses dare try to advise God?  How does God mercy manifest when we have provoked His Judgment? 

David talked about a spiritual house of the Lord!

God commanded His people to party regularly.
How to ascend into the mountain of the LORD.
Worshipping together brings a different anointing.
There was no house when David wrote songs about the house of the Lord.  
 

Giants are bread for the faith-filled believer.

We all have giants especially if you are taking ground for the purposes of God.  When they threaten you, realize, like Caleb, they are your bread!  "Give us this day our daily giants."

How fear and complaining causes failures

Fear and sour attitudes caused the children of Israel to miss their key opportunity.  

Leftists are Pharisees too (part 2 from last show)

What Jesus might say to today's hypocritical, external, people pleasing, self-deceived oppressors.  
"Kind'a" part 2 of the last show. 

Pharisees today might not be what you think they are.

What a current day Pharisee is not?
What are the common denominators of Pharisaicalism in the Bible?
How does that affect us today?

God loves both the Natural Jerusalem and the New Jerusalem

God flatters us by calling us the New Jerusalem. 
If He calls His Church the New Jerusalem then He must love and have plans for the natural Jerusalem as well. 

Living in a Culture of Lies

We live in a society that is not simply comfortable with lies but we expect dishonesty as a norm.
The media, the politicians, the gatekeepers all seem to succeed in their careers because they are skillful liars.

God's Thoughts v. Your Thoughts

God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours so we must forsake our thoughts.
Too many believers underestimate the Bible.
Jesus is the Word made flesh.
