    Enemies? (Ep 215)

    Enemies? (Ep 215)

    Can "rivals" get along? Be respectful? Compete without ill-will? I certainly hope they can do so when they're part of the kingdom of God.

    The Voice of the Lord (Ep 214)

    The Voice of the Lord (Ep 214)

    Psalm 29 inspired the song I share today. It speaks of the greatness of God's voice and, if heard with a willing heart, inspires obedience.

    The Voice of the Lord (Psalm 29)

    Verse 1:

    The voice of the Lord shouts over the waters; The voice of the Lord thunders like the sea. The voice of the Lord breaks mighty cedars; The voice of the Lord lays bare each tree.Chorus: Glory, glory, glory, glory, to the Lord, our God on high!
    Verse 2:

    The voice of the Lord, it strikes like lightning; The voice of the Lord flashes cross the sky. The voice of the Lord brings death to the desert; The voice of the Lord leaves the land bone-dry.
    Verse 3: The voice of the Lord rules over nations; The voice of the Lord brings kingdoms low. The voice of the Lord shakes every mountain; The voice of the Lord casts strong men down.
    Verse 4: The voice of the Lord will be heard forever; The voice of the Lord will never cease. The voice of the Lord will bless his people; The voice of the Lord will bring them peace.
    Ending: Glory, glory, to our God on high! Glory, glory, to our God on high!

    Cold Front Coming (Ep 213)

    Cold Front Coming (Ep 213)

    I check the hourly forecast for the coming day every night before heading to bed. I want to know what I'll likely face on my morning run. Sometimes, I forget what I've read and am not prepared. God's word calls on us to be ready for what's to come. He gives us predictions of what's ahead. Will we heed his warnings?

    An Easter Rabbit Hole (Ep 212)

    An Easter Rabbit Hole (Ep 212)

    The history behind the setting of the date of Easter each year is a bit sketchy. Learn more about what happened in 325AD and hear what God's word says about the ugly stuff behind the decision made by the "church" at that time.

    Keep Moving Forward (Ep 211)

    Keep Moving Forward (Ep 211)

    Paul Johnson is running across the United States right now. He's knocking out 60-65 mile days. I got to "run" with him one day. I've been following his progress since then. I've learned a few things about how others feel about his run. Some have been less than happy with the decisions Paul has made. He keeps moving forward.

    For Freedom (Ep 210)

    The song I share in this episode is an expression of my gratitude to God for sending his Son to sent me free. I am filled with joy when I think of the freedom I have in Christ. My hope is you will give thanks for freedom in Jesus as you listen.

    For Freedom

    Intro-Bridge:Freedom, freedom, there is freedom,Freedom in Christ.

    Verse 1:Jesus set prisoners free.Abolished slavery.Ended our captivity.To sin and death and misery.He proclaims good news to you.Proclaims good news to me.We will live eternallyIn freedom.

    Chorus 1:It’s for freedom that Christ has set us free.It’s for freedom that Christ has set us free.It’s for freedom that Christ has set us free.Set us free.

    Verse 2:Jesus hung upon the tree.Bled and died in agonyThrough his Spirit set us free.From sin and death and misery.He proclaims good news to you.Proclaims good news to me.We will live eternallyIn freedom.

    Chorus 2:If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.Free indeed.

    Tag:We are free indeed. We are free indeed.We are free indeed. We are free.
