There is a phenomenon associated with man made denominations, but I repeat myself, called testifying. It typically described as the Spirit moving someone to go before the audience in attendance in a worship service and communicating what God has done for them. Have you ever looked at this phenomenon through an objective lens? I have some thoughts on this that may or may not surprise you.

The reason for this podcast episode is twofold. I just got back a mic I had sent off for repairs. so I am testing it. Also, I just recorded the next story in the lineup for Storytime Classics, a joint project I am working on narrating children's stories that are in the public domain. I find it interesting that all these stories are typically cautionary tales that teach some deep moral truth.

Youtube sensation Mr. Beast has recently come under fire for using his platform and the money he makes from it to cure blindness for 1000 people around the world. Today I want to talk about this and maybe draw a biblical principle from it.

This one is about a post and some comments in a comment section. Can we point at someone and identify them as an enemy of us and the cross? I believe we can. Take a listen and let me know what you think.

This is going to sound crazy to some, but I heard a sermon in which love was discussed. I guess it was on my mind as I pillowed my head because I had a dream about a person who was reluctant to listening to anything about Jesus because they could not reconcile what they thought of love with God who chastises us. In the dream I talk with this person explaining to them about how God loves and how that love is tied to that chastisement. I hope you are edified.

I am talking about a very good post I saw on the web from Brad Harrub.
Here are his words:
Is it time to trim down the special events?
by Brad Harrub, Ph.D.
I get the opportunity to speak on a lot of lectureships, seminars, men's days, youth rallies, etc. I am thankful for each opportunity and I spend a lot of time in preparation and prayer for those events.
I want to pose a question--not meant to divide, judge, or cause strife--just meant to get everyone thinking. Is it possible we have oversaturated our lives with these special events and continue to add more and more, so that we don't have to do the "dirty" work of actually going out and conducting Bible studies/evangelizing?
The truth is we can fill our calendar with these special events, have special lessons on every subject under the Sun, and do all kinds of "activities"…maybe even learning a great deal and making ourselves feel good. All the while, the lost souls around us continue to step out into eternity.
It's kind of ironic that we have all of these special series that have been branded with really cool names and logos where men talk about the importance of evangelism and disciple-making--and yet, most people aren't actually doing it.
In fact, sometimes it feels like the number of special events seems to be growing faster than actual membership in most congregation. And everything now has to be a big production. It has to be filmed and have cool lighting. It needs to be entertaining--with "Big Name" speakers.
Church, maybe it's time we take a serious look at all of the special events we are hosting and ask ourselves: Are our people really going out and making disciples, or are these events giving them the false sense that they are busy in the Lord's Kingdom?
It's not about the events. It's not about the cool stage lighting. It's not about the speakers.
It's about Jesus. It's all about what He did on the cross. And until we get out of our comfort zones and tell more people about Him and His precious gift, the world will remain lost.

My wife is doing the Digging Deep study produced by Cindy Colley. There are always good questions in that study. This episode will be about one of them.
