    Who Speaks For God? (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Good leaders are influenced by good people. That is a biblical truth that needs to be replicated in our world. Josiah was eight years old when he became king in Jerusalem. When he was 26 years old, he instituted a refurbishment of the temple and took necessary steps to put Judah on the right path. The book of law was found in the clutter of the temple, read and acted upon. The Passover was restored as it should have been. How did Josiah know to do that? Where did He find courage? One of the unsu

    The Courage to Face The Future (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    In the Bible’s list of good kings that honored the Lord, Hezekiah, King of Judah, stands out. There was revival in the land under Hezekiah. He made right, a number of wrongs that had been incorporated into daily life. Isaiah was a constant witness to Hezekiah. He had the ear of the King. In his old age, he cried out to God and God extended his life. A longer life is not necessarily a better life. He gained an extra fifteen years and fathered another son. Manasseh would be the next king over Juda

    The focus of this text is on a great man, Naaman, who had leprosy. There is another great man who is important in the story. Elisha was a mighty prophet of the Lord. But there is a little slave girl mentioned and we don’t even know her name. She, however, is a hidden hero and is a key part of this Old Testament story with New Testament implications. She was an Israelite slave who waited on Naaman’s wife. We don’t know when she was taken captive. She could have been bitter but she wasn’t. It was

    Read excerpt

    Do you know the story of Rahab? She hung a “scarlet cord” from her window on the wall of Jericho. Her past was not good. Someone called her “the shady lady from Jericho”, but her life was changed the day that she confessed faith in the God of Israel. Rahab became an example of how God can change the future. She is a Gentile woman who winds up being mentioned in the “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11. She lived among nonbelievers but she believed and that made all the difference. She not only had the

    Courage in the Face of Death (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Mankind’s first act of disobedience centered around a lie told by the serpent. “Thou shalt not surely die.” We read the Bible and understand that while we started out in a garden, we moved into a graveyard. We believe that Jesus will return to catch away believers, resurrect the dead and put an end to dying. Until that day we will experience life in the presence of a shadow. Jesus came to give us victory over the grave. We do not have to be afraid of death. How do we face death with courage? Bec
