When will the moral and spiritual laws of God take their rightful place in the life of nations and the world? In this week’s episode, we’re going to take a look at several leaders in the Bible who blatantly disregarded God’s laws. The Bible gives us a preview of what could happen to corrupt leaders today, based on what happened to corrupt leaders back then.

How did it strengthen and encourage you? Well, you’re probably very familiar with many parts of the New Testament, lots of the stories, and inspiring verses.

357 – How do you explain God's wrath in the Bible? Have you ever read some of those passages in the Old Testament where the text basically says God told the Children of Israel to kill all the inhabitants of Canaan, or other enemies, including the women and children, even babies? But in the New Testament, Jesus brings a very different perspective to dealing with your enemies. Instead of killing them, or praying for God to kill them, Jesus says to love and bless your enemies. What’s going on here? How can you reconcile the way God is described in the Old Testament with the way He’s described in the New Testament? In this week's episode: If you want to be more like Jesus, then you need to look at the Old Testament through the lens of Christ to have a clear idea of who God is and how He destroys evil. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript of this episode and all the Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/357 Previous episode mentioned: Episode 197: Quit Looking at God Through a Wall of Glass Bricks Text me your questions or comments.

FREEDOM FRIDAY Are you hungry and thirsty for spiritual things? Have you ever been really hungry or really thirsty? Why does that happen? It’s because your body is telling you need to eat or drink something. Hunger and thirst tell us there’s something we need that we don’t have.

It's Freedom Friday What if you could think and pray like Jesus did? What if you could love the way Jesus did? Does that even seem possible? What keeps us from doing that? Sometimes you might think there’s no way you could of be like Jesus and that it’s not even worth trying. Or maybe you’re afraid to love as much as he did. It’s just too much to commit to. But Jesus wanted and expected everyone who believed in him to follow his example of living and loving. In fact, Paul repeats this idea in a letter to the church in Corinth, “We have the mind of Christ.” (See I Corinthians 2:16) In this episode of Freedom Friday, we’re going to talk about ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ SHOW NOTES: Full transcript at thebiblespeakstoyou.com/352 Text me your questions or comments.

351 – What do you ask for in your prayers? A new job, a good relationship, to be healed of an emotional problem or physical disease? What about asking God for guidance in what to do with your life and how to fulfill your purpose? Sometimes we ask God for small things and sometimes our prayers have a broader scope. But all too often we don’t go as broad and as deep as we could in what we ask for in prayer. Considering everything that’s going on in the world right now, it’s time to be bold in what we ask for, like Elisha when he asked for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit. In this episode, we’re going to talk about what that means and how you and I can do it today. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and all Bible quotes thebiblespeakstoyou.com/351 Text me your questions or comments.

350 – Do you know your spiritual identity? It's FREEDOM FRIDAY How often do you really stop and ponder that you are a child of God? All too often we identify ourselves based on what we have done or not done, the accomplishments or the failures we’ve had. And it’s very easy to fall into identifying yourself with the sins and mistakes you’ve made over the years. But the way you see yourself, the way you identify yourself, determines to a large degree how you will act and interact with others. God has created you in His image likeness. That is your true spiritual identity. The more clearly you see yourself in this light, the more freedom you’ll find from past mistakes and labels of limitation. And that’s what this episode of Freedom Friday is all about. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ PLAYLIST about spiritual identity: The Journey of Self Discovery SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes–thebiblespeakstoyou.com/350 Text me your questions or comments.

349 – Are you praying for your government? If you take an unbiased look at the government of countries all over the world, you’ll often find some degree of corruption. Sometimes it doesn’t run very deep but other times senior leaders and the heads of government themselves are the source of corruption. This has been going on since governments began. Is there a solution? Even when politicians claim they try to get rid of all corruption, it’s a difficult thing to accomplish. Many governments don’t try at all and are causing the problem. As Christians, what can you and I do about this problem? Should we get involved in politics, public demonstrations, or social activism, letter writing campaigns, calling government officials? What you decide to do is totally up to you, and not every Christian is going to feel compelled to fight corruption these ways. What we all can do is pray. But should we pray for a government when it’s corrupt? Does prayer even make a difference with such a huge problem? There are lots of different ways to pray about this. How can we pray more effectively to get rid of corruption in government? Previous episodes mentioned Episode 240: How Would Jesus Heal Political Division?

348 – What defines your spiritual identity? Do you ever struggle to find freedom from guilt over things that happened in the past? You’re trying to follow Christ and live your life in obedience to all Jesus says, but sometimes it’s hard to let go of the guilt from things you did years ago, or maybe even just yesterday. You know that God has forgiven you, but once in a while, those past sins and mistakes weigh heavy on your heart. Is it possible to find freedom from all that guilt from things you did wrong in the past? Of course it is. When you see that those sins and mistakes from your past have never been part of your true spiritual identity, and focus on who you are as a child of God, you’ll find freedom from the guilt and step into who God made you to be. And that’s what we’re talking about on this episode of Freedom Friday. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes--thebiblespeakstoyou.com/348 Text me your questions or comments.
