Planting Tares-Scopes Monkey Trial

Mark Roberts · Monday Morning Coffee with Mark

Psalm 10

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

Psalm 10 and Psalm 9 may have originally been one Psalm. Even if that is not the case, there are many connections between the Psalms. Here are some of them. 10:1- times of trouble- 9:9 10:2 the wicked- 9:5, 16, 17; 10:2, 3, 4, 13, 15 10:4 The Hebrew word for "Seek" in 9:10, 12; 10:4, 13, 15 10:11 The claim that God has forgotten- 9:12, 18 10:12 Arise- 9:19 10:16 The LORD is king- 9:4, 7 10:16 nations- 9:5, 15, 17, 19, 19, 20 10:18 vindicate is the word "judge" in 9:8 10:1-2 Where is the LORD in the midst of trouble 10:3-11 A description of the wicked 10:12-15 A plea for God to arise and judge

Choosing joy in grief: A conversation with Jeremy Dehut

Kenny Embry · Balancing the Christian Life

Send us Fan Mail So how do you choose to be joyful when the world around you is crumbling? Jeremy Dehut is a new but good friend. He's helped me see both from his example and in his family's choice to let God help him choose joy in the face of tragedy. I'm grateful for people like Jeremy and Anna and how they share their struggles and show us how to allow God to let us become better. Support the show

Episode #36 - Time For A Break

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail You read the title right - it's time for a break. Due to being out of town because of preaching engagements and vacation, we will be taking a break from the podcast for three weeks until August 3rd. I prayerfully made this decision, but it was the right decision to ensure I could restore some balance to my life. Well...we all struggle with balance sometimes. We know that there is a season & time for everything, but when is that? I believe the closer we draw to God & his wisdom, the better we will learn balance in our lives. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

Episode #35 - When God Ran

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Is there anything like seeing your little boy or girl yell your name as they run into your arms? That's exactly what my daughter did today when she came to visit me working at one of the coffeeshops in town. It was precious and needed. We had a rough day yesterday, and such a gesture reaffirmed our love. Well...some of you listening in might think that because of things you've done, God could not possibly want you back. But you're wrong. It doesn't matter what you've done, he wants you to come home. And when you do, he will run to embrace you. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

Episode 115 - "From All This Smiling"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Show Unexpected Kindness to Others In this week’s edition of “Hello, My Name Is...” four Bible women inspire us to greater mercy, as we admire the power of small deeds and imagine attending our own funeral. And as we learn morality from Blockbuster and State Farm (but mostly from Jesus and his “Good Samaritan”), this discussion of merciful deeds takes us back to some important basics. We close the episode by challenging ourselves to become kindness artists — becoming proficient in unusual, covert, creative kindness. The Big Idea: We reflect God’s goodness when we seek out creative ways to bles

A People Purified by a Gracious God - Zephaniah 3

Jeff · Working with the Word

The "day of the Lord" has meant judgment for sinful Judah so far in Zephaniah's prophecies, but at the end of the book it takes on a new meaning. There is hope, promise, purification, and restoration - a bright future beyond the dark judgment. What does this teach us about the nature of God's discipline and grace? And how does this prepare us for Jesus?

Episode #34 - Cheering You On

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Ronnie and I were back at it on the racquetball court today, but this time was a little different. On our last game together, about 12 kids had their faces pressed against the glass watching us play and cheering us on. It was fun, and gave us renewed energy to play hard because they were behind us! Well...well all need to have someone in our corner, cheering us on in this life. Not only all those who are hero's of faith in the Scripture, but also in our local churches. Let's encourage one another and help each other in this journey of faith! #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

Episode #33 - The Little Things Matter

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail After some more service work done to the new car (yes, it had to go back) - we finally have it up and running. Today I took it in to get some routine maintenance done, things like the oil change, replacing the air filter, etc. These are little things, but if they are neglected, they can result in big problems. Well...Jesus said in his ministry that being faithful even in the little things is of the upmost importance. It is when we neglect the little things in our marriages, relationships, work, or even spiritual growth that we end up having bigger problems. Be faithful in the

Looking For Adventure

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! I'm in search of someone who is looking for adventure. Who is ready to step out there and do something that most people will not do. You need to know, it won't be easy. And there are risks that it might not go as planned. And you have no way to predict what will happen next! But the alternative... being stuck in the system, in the mundane, in a machine that isn't really you and doesn't represent who you want to be... well, I'm done with that. Maybe you are as well. If so, hop in for a big decision. Jordan Peterson wrote a

Digital Literacy: Don't hate...participate

Kenny Embry · Balancing the Christian Life

Send us Fan Mail One of the big differences in online communication is the ability to talk back to the people who make the stuff you consume. In other words, we're all consumers and producers of online content, and I think that's incredibly beneficial. But how do you do it well? We'll talk about how to participate intentionally and thoughtfully. Support the show

Episode #32 - Just Throw It Away

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail I had a study with a friend today who went through some old DVD's of his and realized many of them were one's he had purchased before he became a Christian. They did not have the kind of content that he knew a Christian should watch, so he asked what he should do with them? Easy - simply throw them away. Well...anything that keeps us from growing closer to Jesus needs to very simply be thrown away. In fact, we ought to think like Paul, and consider those things as good as garbage in comparison to knowing Christ Jesus our Lord. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

Episode #31 - Miscommunication & Frustration

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail We had an appointment in Lexington for Dane and were going to pick up our new car afterwards. However, we were called and originally led to believe they put us off and never fixed the car, and that I took a day off of work for nothing. I was frustrated and upset, but once we got down to the bottom of things, there was simply a miscommunication. It was ready, and I felt stupid for how I acted. Well...the Proverbs have much to say about the fool and his anger. How we are quick tempered without learning the full story and say or do things we don't mean. I pray that God may help m

Episode 114 - "As Sleek as They Could Get"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Move Beyond Hurt to Forgiveness This week we learn how pushing the envelope is like pressing your nose and discover some lessons about mercy from Harry Potter and Ford v. Ferrari. Plus we count down our Top Four Proverbs about forgiveness, learning to kill with kindness, cover with love, and let the Lord judge between us and others. And one of Jesus’ parables shows us a path to Christlike mercy, from a “ba-jillion” sins to three little words. The Big Idea: We find grace to forgive when we choose compassion and leave our justice in God’s hands. Weekly Challenges: Find this week’s Through the We

Episode #30 - Where Is Your Name Written?

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail We purchased a new vehicle today, and while at the dealer I saw an entire wall dedicated in honor of our service men & women. Those who served in these roles were to write their names on the wall, so that they would not be forgotten. Well...do you realize that God has written your name on the palms of his hands? He has not forgotten you, in fact, if you serve him then your name is even written in the book of life in heaven. Where is your name written? #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

Episode #29 - Brother, Pray Like This

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail At dinner last night, Dane was not paying much attention during the prayer before we ate. Ava immediately took action, proceeding to walk her younger brother through what he is supposed to do during prayer. It was a sweet and touching moment as our children were teaching each other about talking to God. Well...we are all still learning how to pray. Even the apostles asked Jesus how to pray in their lives. Think about people who have impacted you with their prayers, what lessons have they taught you about what it means to pray? #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

God of the Nations - Zephaniah 2

Jeff · Working with the Word

Zephaniah has a message for all the nations - not only will God judge his people Judah, all of them will also stand or fall before the LORD's wrath against sin. Not only does this show God's sovereignty over all peoples of the earth, it also hints at God's promise to unite all nations. Join us as we read and discuss Zephaniah 2:4-3:8.

REASON: Where it comes up short. "Atlas Shrugged" (2). A right to your own life. Monopoly (2).

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! We revisit Ayn Rand’s philosophy of objectivism this week. Solomon said wisdom excels foolishness as light excels darkness. But he never intended reason to exclude God, and that is specifically what Objectivists do mean. This week we discuss the ways reason fails to properly explain the world or our part in it; the things about rationality that Ayn Rand actually got right; the question of whether we actually own our own lives; and how good Monopoly players often make for bad Christians Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Driv

"Don't Blame Anybody"

And then, it all went away, all of the sudden. What happened to him was terrible, unfair, and infuriating. But how would he respond? Would he blame everyone? Would he use it as an excuse to behave poorly? Nope. This dude is solid. And the attitude he put on display is an example to us all. Oh, and good attitudes lead to good outcomes! - Have you recently had something unfair happen to you in your life? - How did t

Episode #28 - Daddy Daughter Date Gone Wrong

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail My daughter finished a whole week of perfect potty training, so I took her out for a daddy daughter date. It went great...until she puked all over me and herself in the bathroom. Yeah, that happened. While I was concerned about the mess, Kylie was more concerned about the underlying issue of why it happened - so we check her blood sugar and it was low. Well...we are all spiritually sick, and sometimes we are guilty of just trying to clean up our mess without addressing the heart of the issue. Things don't just happen, they come from the heart. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast
