"I have so much to do today that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer". Martin Luther

When we talk about Sabbath rest, it is easy to go down various paths. For some, although Sabbath is an oft-heard term, the idea of how to observe it is foreign. For others, the Sabbath can seem like a legalistic thing and many boundaries can be made around it. This episode seeks to get an understanding from the source: God's word. The Sabbath is instituted right from the start in Genesis 2:2 as God rested or paused from His work. We see that the Sabbath is created for man and for our benefit. Finally, we see that as we observe the Sabbath (a day of rest), we depend upon the Lord more and hear His heart. We invite you to tune into this podcast and by the end, take the challenge to incorporate the Sabbath into your life each week!

"When all is said and done, the life of faith is nothing if not an unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the flesh." Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Picking up on a previous series from 2024 (Stuff That's Been On My Mind), this episode takes a look at conspiracy theories. No it's not a deep dive into the latest and greatest gossip. Rather, it's a look at how to address and deal with these things from a Christian viewpoint. Whenever we hear rumors (true or unfounded), we must practice discernment. We must also see that our faith in Jesus is unshakeable and immovable. Finally, Jesus has the last word on any of this. He will right the wrongs and come what may, He will guide us into eternity. We don't have to get caught up in the latest and greatest sensational conspiracy theory. We must keep our eyes fixed on Him who will lead us through.

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. James 4:1,2

In the Book of James, there is much written about Christian conduct and character, especially as it pertains to relationships within the Body of Christ. We all can struggle with selfishness. But we must realize that our desire to look inward and take care of our own interests often comes at the expense of building up the Body. If we have competing desires (following the world or following God), we eventually come to a place which James terms "adulterous and hostile" to the Lord. The remedy is to seek a humble heart, a heart which God blesses and honors. With the backdrop of James 4:1-12 today, we dive into a topic that focuses on Him, not us.
