About this Episode

Hold on tight! That's what an early evangelist by the name of Barnabas advises believers at the church in Antioch. There are some things we should hold onto loosely and other things that we should never let go of.

We will certainly hold dear to those things that are most precious to us. Who and what is most precious to you and why?

"Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord," Acts 11:23.

A Change of Plans

God's ways are not always our ways. What happens when God changes your direction?

Even the Apostle Paul experienced this. We find it in Acts 16. We see great results when a child of God allows Him to change their plans.

Acts 16:6-9
Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, [7] After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. [8] And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. [9] And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

Hunger Pains

What do you do when you are hungry? How about when you are thirsty? Don't we naturally find something to eat and drink?

What happens when we hunger and thirst after righteousness? The Lord Jesus gives us an answer and we find an example in the Psalms of David.

Matthew 5:6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Psalm 42:1-2
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. [2] My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

How to Get What You Want

The secret to getting what you want is simple. You just have to want what God wants. What could be easier? Of course, for many of us, that means adjusting our desires to His desires and sometimes we find that to be the hard part. It may by hard but it is achievable and it does bring happiness. We simply have to prioritize the spiritual over the carnal.

Psalm 37:4
Delight thyself also in the Lord ; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

James 4:3
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Ashamed to be Ashamed

The Apostle Paul had much to be ashamed of. In fact, he once called himself the chief of sinners. One thing, however, that he was never ashamed of was the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Join Gary today as he examines this portion of Scripture and reminds us that we should be ashamed to be ashamed of Jesus.

Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Empty Excitement

Sometimes people get excited over nothing. That happens in the spiritual real as well. People get excited over their anticipation of achieving heaven through their righteous works when in fact that hope is hollow. That is why the Apostle Paul described those closest to him as having a zeal that was without knowledge.

Join Gary as he explores this passage from Romans 10 and explains how we can have a hope that is certain.

Romans 10:1-4
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. [2] For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. [3] For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. [4] For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

He's God: You're Not!

Are you a control freak? Do you like to be in charge of everything? Many of us have that compulsion. However, Psalm 46:10 reminds us that we are not in control of everything. Join, Gary as he looks at this Psalm and reminds us of our place and His place.

Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

God is For Me

We all have those days when we feel like the world is closing in on us and everyone is against us. Sometimes its more thana feeling and it is a fact. It doesn't matter when you know that God is for you. Psalm 56:9 reminds us of this. But take a look at that entire chapter. It is filled with encouragement and direction when the world offers discouragement and depression.

Psalm 56:1-13
Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. [2] Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. [3] What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. [4] In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. [5] Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. [6] They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. [7] Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. [8] Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? [9] When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. [10] In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word. [11] In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. [12] Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. [13] For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
