SALVATION OUT OF ZION

3/23/2024
This completes the Reflections on Psalm 14, giving attention to every verse, leaving nothing out. PS: I did away with the music this time, hoping to get it figured out. All the Reflections are available from reflections.libsyn.com. As always, hoping it edifies believers and convicts others, in love.

THE FOOLISHNESS OF SIN

3/16/2024

THE SHADOW OF DEATH

3/9/2024
Job started out responding to Bildad in chapter 9, but he concludes in chapter 10 by complaining to God. The answer to his final complaint -- this tie - is found in an unexpected, if familiar, passage. All the Reflections are available from reflections.libsyn.com, and I trust they will all be helpful!

Special Reflection: intro and chapter 1 of TO DIE AND LIVE

3/6/2024
Here's a sample of the evangelistic novel of intrigue I wrote quite a few years ago. It was almost 20 years in the making, and the story is a proven soul-winner (though churches seem to be afraid of it). The novel is available from writes-exchang.com, amazon.com and B&N.com. My payer is that it continues to win souls to salvation in Christ. Blessings.

NO CONDEMNATION

3/2/2024
Once again, Job's agonized questions are answered in the Lord Jesus Christ, as revealed in the New Testament. This neglected Book of Holy Scripture has so many lessons for our own expeeriences. All the "Reflections" can be heard at reflections.libsyn.com. I hope they're all blessings!

Duration:00:15:02

CHRIST THE MEDIATOR

2/24/2024
All of Job's questions and complaints are answered in the God-breathed New Testament. More than one example is found in this chapter. For instnace, when Job complains that "there is no mediator", the New Testament says "Christ is our Mediator!" We have a lot to thank and praise God for! All the episodes are available at reflections.libsyn.com. As always, I hope it's a blessing.

WOUNDS WITHOUT CAUSE

2/17/2024
Job continues his answer to Bildad, and his complaints about God. As we examine these words, throught he lens of the New Testament, we find much to be grateful for. All the epidsodes can be heard at reflections.libsyn.com, and I hope they're all blessings!

CONSTELLATIONS AND STORMS

2/12/2024
Job continues his response to Bildad's accusations. He mentions several contellations, with grim implications in them. Here's another warning to be sensitive to the sufferings of others. all theReflections are available at reflections.libsyncom, and I hope each one is a blessing.

HOW TO BE RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD

2/3/2024
Job asks that question and, likie all of his questions, it's not answered in that Book. It is, however, answered in the New Testament. Verse by verse, skipping nothing, we begin to look at chapter 9 of the Book of Job. Feel free to check out all the "Reflections" at reflections.libsyn.com. As always, I hope this one is a blessing.

TRUTH WITHOUT COMPASSION

1/27/2024
This episode concludes Bildad's first accusation against Job, the Sufferer. Unfortunately, church peopel are often guilty of similar behavior. I'm not surprised when unsaved people behave like this, but it's more than sad when beleivers do. Hopefully, this message will convict us and inspire us to respond to suffering with more compassion. All the Reflections are available at reflections.libsyn.com.

REBUKING THE SUFFERER

1/20/2024
Job's so-called "friend" Bildad takes his turn trying to "explain" Job's suffering, but he's more heartless than Eliphaz, who has just finished. We learn valuable lessons in how NOT to minister to sufferers from this passage, and possibly to repent from following certain church tradtions. Take advantage of all episodes at reflections.libsyn.com. As always, I hope it's a blessing.

RESPONDING TO THE LOSS OF GOD'S PRESENCE

1/16/2024
Psalm 13 is part of God's Word for a reason. Here is a first: I was able to cover an entire Psalm in a single Reflection! This is a comfort for those going through spiritual dry spells. All episodes are available at reflections.libsyn.com. Please let me know your own "Reflections" in the Facebook group "Reflections Echoes". Asalways, I hope this one is a blessing!

FINISHING THE COURSE

1/6/2024
Most of us begin well. We're full of energy and enthusiasm. But as time goes on, discouragement sets in. People turn on us and we experience rejection and neglect. Many even quit. All are tempted. But Scripture, from beginning to end, is all about finishing well. I hope this Reflection encourages us to stay the course. All the Reflections are available from reflections.libsyn.com.

REFLECTIONS ON MY SPIRITUAL LIFE

12/30/2023
On the eve of my spiritual birthday, I decided to do something completely different: no references to written resources, no script, very little editing. I just quickly "reflect" on my own spiritual odyssey. Litening to it was kind of frustrating; so many things left out and so many things I could have said better. But I feel I need to leave this the way it is. I trust that's the Lord's guidance. As always, I hope it's a blessing. The regular Reflections look by turns at Genesis, Job, Matthew and Psalms. They're all available at reflections.libsyn.com. I trust every listener will have a blessed and fruitful New Year.

SLIDING INTO SIN

12/23/2023
Again and again, humanity repays God's mercy by sliding back into the sins He has previously jusdged us for. Genesis chpater 11 is no exception. Hopefully, this generation of God's people will learn from these errors and pains of past generations...while we still can. I've said this before: With the conviction that the entire Bible is God's Word, I'm determined not to skip anything. I hope this Reflection is a blessing. All of them can be heard at reflections.libsyn.com. Please contact me on my Facebook group "Reflections Echoes" with comments or questions. God bless you!

IS BABEL A PROPHECY OF THE CHURCH?

12/16/2023
After the Flood, humanity was told to "fill the earth". In Babel, they tried to disobey that command. Just before returning to heavenm Jesus told His followers to spread the Gospel to "all nations". Have we done the same thing that the post-Flood people did? Something to Reflect on! All the Reflections are available from reflections.libsyn.com. I hope this is a blessing!

Duration:00:16:21

THE CREATOR AND THE TOWER

12/11/2023
We often make our own plans and hope that God will bless them. But we have an example from history about how God responds to fallen humanity's ideas. Hopefully, this Reflection will make us want to go to God first. All the Reflections are available from refelctions.libsyn.com. I hope this one is a blessing!

REBELLION AND THE BIRTH OF THE OCCULT

12/2/2023
After the Flood, the people soon forgot God's power and authority. They decided not to follow His command to "fill the earth", and that became the seed of further rebellion that we are still confronting today. All the Reflections are available from reflections.libsyn.com.

THE BIRTH OF NATIONS, CONCLUSION: THE LINE OF REDEMPTION

11/25/2023
We conclude our Reflecting on Genesis 10 with the line of Shem, who was ancestor to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and ultimately our Lord Jesus Christ. Based on 2 Tim. 3:16, I'm determined to skip over NOTHING when Reflecting on God's Word. I trust this will also bless every listener. All the Reflections are available from reflections.libsyn.com.

THE BIRTH OF NATIONS, PART 2 & HISTORY'S FIRST TYRANT

11/18/2023
Determined to not skip over anything in God's Word, we now look at the beginning of what we call the African nations. This list gives special attention to Nimrod, who prefigures the coming Antichrist. I pray that we are all enlightened and warned by this passage of Scripture.
