Our guest on this episode stands behind the philosophy of “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” Andrea Barrera, the founder of Gracious Om, who dedicatedly worked in the mental health field for nearly a decade then quit her full-time job to start her own business, turned to hemp, crystals and ancient herbal remedies as a self-care practice and found a way to motivate others to jump on this journey of self-love. How did she do it!?
Attribute of God: Patience
Not all books on the attributes of God have a separate section or chapter on the patience of God, but Stephen Charnock (1628-1680) in his massive classic The Existence and Attributes of God dedicates 52 pages to the subject. Repeatedly in the Scriptures we see the description of God that is found in Exodus 34:6;7. This is, by the way, God's own description of Himself.
When Moses was on Mt. Sinai, conversing with God the following account is given. "The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, 'The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.'"
The phrase 'slow to anger' is a reference to God's withholding His final judgment from rebellious sinners. God's patience is as "that power of control which God exercises over Himself, causing Him to bear with the wicked and forebear so long in punishing them" (Arthur Pink, The Attributes of God, 62).
God does bring final judgment on the wicked, but only after a period of mercy, beckoning them to repentance. "Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed."
That God is patient before He metes out His righteous judgment displays His power of control and His willingness to forgive. In light of God's patience, to reject His mercy is to increase the penalty due on the great judgment day.

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
Proverbs 16:34
I wish that I could say my words have always been gracious but they haven’t been. My words have torn others down and shamed them in moments of my anger. Today, I discuss how the gift of apology frees you and the person receiving it.

Part 3 - The Attributes of God
When speaking of the attributes of God, what we are really referring to are the characteristics of God, those qualities that describe who God is. The God of the Bible is unique and His characteristics define His very nature. By studying the attributes of God as defined by the Bible, we gain an understanding of who God is and what He is like. Sadly, the tendency of many in our current day towards theology (the study of God) is one of apathy and even scorn. Theology is seen to be too technical and unnecessary for the common Christian who hasn’t the time or care to pursue such academic matters. Instead, what we see generally is that theology has been sacrificed on the altar of experience. However, without the sound foundation provided by sound theology, one cannot truly experience God aright. Thus it is essential that we grasp the character and nature of God which will inform a proper biblical experience!
In this important teaching, we shall look at thirteen core attributes of God and shall draw practical relevancies for each which shall serve to build our faith in the pursuit of drawing near to God.

Thanksgiving Day is a great reminder of all the wonderful things that life has to offer.

Giving thanks is something everyone can participate in regardless of where you are located. Can you imagine the powerful energy that goes out when people collectively give thanks? It can create a stream of peace and goodwill that extends far and wide. Be encouraged to open to your hearts on this day and everyday give thanks. Get in the attitude of gratitude.

In a time of intense negativity, it is time for us to embrace a new boldness with our words: being gracious and kind.
In our culture today, especially in the middle of this election season, using kind and gracious words would actually be one of the most radical things you could do. I vote that we start a movement with our words: a movement of grace. A movement of kindness. Do you want to stand out? Do you want to make an impact? Sadly, you can do that today just by using kind words and showing respect for others. Why should we respect others? Because they were also made in the image of God. We are all His children, made in His image. That, alone, requires kind, gracious, and respectful words. Show grace in your speech today.

While I am away speaking at one of my all-time-favorite places on Earth (Hartland Christian Camp), the topic of this encore PODCAST is one of those subjects that touches us all, deeply and profoundly. The ripples of any divorce, every divorce spread their concentric circles far and wide.
Which compels us to take a sober look at exactly what Jesus DID SAY HERE in Matthew 5:31-32, as well as -- and perhaps especially -- what Jesus DID NOT SAY HERE.
Because once again, this is one of those passages which, when lifted out of its context -- both Scriptural and Cultural -- is so often and so tragically made to say something other than what Jesus intended for it to say. Heaping truck loads of unnecessary grief and guilt upon poor precious people who are just trying by God’s grace to rebuild their broken lives.
Trust me! Over the years, having dealt up close and personal with many, many people, I have heard some of the most atrocious applications of this passage. This to the point where emotionally and spiritually fragile individuals, whose lives have just been rocked by their own tragic divorces, now have whatever fragments they have left of their broken lives crushed by well-meaning, but grossly misinformed, Christians errantly and judgmentally spouting this passage. And then in fine Pharisee-esque style, walk away from them, leaving untold wreckage in their wakes.
Not here. Not in this PODCAST. No way!
Jesus doesn’t do that.
