    Choosing The Right Path: To The Young & Single Man (RAISING THE STANDARD)

    Choosing The Right Path: To The Young & Single Man (RAISING THE STANDARD)

    “Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.”  John F. Kennedy 

    As we work our way through this series, we are first stopping at the age of men youngest and most impressionable:  those young adult (high school/college) and single men.  Yes this is a large age group to cover.  Yes a lot happens in these years.  But there are some common tenets these younger men must adhere to; certain traits they must develop in Christ.  We see a firm foundation of truth must be laid.  We see an avoidance of the world's trappings and temptations (and necessary boundaries/preventative measures established).  Finally we see that in charting a course in life (finding a career, a spouse, a calling) involves seeking the Lord's heart and following His lead.  This is a crucial part of a man's life.  This is a time to either press in and put down roots OR waste and squander the potential we have. 

    I pray this is an episode that will minister to young men in this stage of life.  Please feel free to share with those who you think might need to hear this teaching.

    Becoming Men After God's Own Heart: Introduction (RAISING THE STANDARD)

    Becoming Men After God's Own Heart:  Introduction (RAISING THE STANDARD)

    He raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, “I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.”  Acts 13:22

    We are spending the next several weeks on the podcast talking to a specific audience:  Christian men.  If there is a demographic within the church that I have felt most specifically called to reach, it would be Christian men.  To seek a path in life that brings the Lord glory and is directed by Him.  To tell them to lead well as husbands and fathers; in a Christ-honoring way.  To come to the end of life knowing you led well and you have much left to impart to the generations that follow.  This series attempts to hit all of these areas and cause men to consider the weight of the call they have in Christ.  We model David, as he in turn modeled Christ:  he was a man after God's own heart.  This episode serves as an introduction and sets the stage for what follows.  Will you join me?

    Day 158: The Reality of Sin (2023)

    Day 158: The Reality of Sin (2023)
    Fr. Mike highlights the reality of sin and our capacity to choose hell as we read about Jesus' teachings on temptations, divorce, and wealth. Jesus' teachings can be challenging, but following him is the path to true holiness. Today we read Mark 9-10 and Psalm 29. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

    Temptation, Thoughts and Sin

    Temptation, Thoughts and Sin

    A Bible devotional study about the relationship between our thoughts, temptations and sin.

    Matthew 5:27-28 KJV
    Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

    Ep. 139 - How to Deal with Unwanted Thoughts

    Ep. 139 - How to Deal with Unwanted Thoughts

    In today's episode, the guys discuss how to deal with unwanted thoughts. Thoughts are silent, invisible voices in our heads that hold great power, and are often a window into what's going on in our heart. If you’re not meditating on truth through God’s word, you’re going to believe that lies are true. In the Bible, Philippians 4:8 states, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Our thoughts give birth to either things of the Lord or sin. When sin begins in our mind, we need to attack it and then reorient our thoughts to the Lord. Colossians 3:2 states, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” We need to set our mind on things above because every action starts with a thought.

    What about the struggle with unwanted thoughts that pop into our heads? If we struggle with gambling, we avoid going to the casino. But these unwanted thoughts fly into our heads without warning. For these, we need to remember our thoughts are not just coming from ourselves, but also come from the enemy. There is a spiritual war going on right now over your mind. When these thoughts pop up, we need to not dwell on them but let them leave our head just as quickly as they came in. The issue is when we determine not to let them go. We fight these thoughts and spiritual warfare by attacking them with scripture. When we fill our mind with God’s word, we can march forward on our knees and defeat the enemy.

    The change in our thought life starts with an investment in knowing God’s word, which comes from meditating on scripture day and night. It is vital that we fear the Lord, because if you don’t fear God, then you won't cast those sins or thoughts out.  Temptation will be part of our lives for the rest of our time on Earth, but we need to detox our mind and stop going back to the catalysts that trigger these sinful thoughts.  Your thoughts are not really unwanted if you’re consuming or looking at things that cause those thoughts to pop up in your mind. These thoughts will continue to torment you unless you change what you are consuming. The average person consumes 6,000 to 10,000 ads a day by their own choice. You can choose what you look at. If you are unsatisfied with your thoughts, is it possible that you've been starving yourself of the word of the Lord? Do not be self-deceived but know that the cause of our unwanted thoughts is likely due to ourselves. However, God can cleanse our minds and give us new thoughts if we ruminate on His word, attack these thoughts with scripture and choose what we consume each day.

    Psalm 78: Jesus Passed the Tests

    Psalm 78: Jesus Passed the Tests

    Psalm 78:1-4 (CSB)

    Andrew and Edwin walk through the history of Israel, but with a special focus on the psalms use of the word "test." Three times Israel tested God according to this psalm. In so doing, they failed their test three times. Our hosts compare this to Jesus's three tests in the wilderness. Jesus passed with flying colors.
