Do you need a little encouragement today? S31e37 Mt5:4

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/26

Perhaps you are discouraged. If so, turn with me to the beatitudes to look for a beautiful way of living. The road to encouragement often starts with grief. Disobedience towards the ways of God often leads to relational disaster. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Mourning is Godly grief that goes somewhere. Mourning is a key to right relationship with God. The route towards encouragement often leads thru mourning. Join ...

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/25

If only “poor in spirit” would mean just "plain ol' poor"! Financially I mean. It would be a lot easier to achieve than what everyone is called to in the Beatitudes. Financial poverty is easier to achieve than spiritual poverty. It certainly would require less of me. This is worth figuring out, for the inheritance of a KINGDOM is at stake. As the Lord allows, I am here most every day. Will you join me? https://youtu.be/TXTqPykQg3U

Who are the “poor in spirit” and why should I care?...

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/24

Christians are to be the most repenty people on the planet. We have much to be broken over. We start, and often continue in a state of offense. The Lord loves such bent people. Why should I care? And care enough to be counted among the "POOR IN SPIRIT?" Well, there is a KINGDOM on offer; which is to say there is a King to have a relationship with. Listen if you are KINGDOM-READY. subscribe if you are NOT kingdom-ready. https://youtu.be/HIoR4Wwq66E

2026/04/23

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven...etc. etc. Does this sound good to you? Perhaps not. Join me today as we "dip our toe" into the beatitudes. The beatitudes are great, but perhaps we are not. We'll ask for help to be "Beatitude Ready" and even "Beatitude Eager." We might even RUN to the Beatitudes. One day just won't do it.

What exactly does Jesus Come to HEAL? S31e33 Matt4:23

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/22

When Jesus came, He healed EVERYBODY in His little orbit. Does He still heal? If so HOW and What does He heal? Also, what might the attention of the Lord during my affliction look like? Write this down: We have the ATTENTION of the Lord during our AFFLICTIONS. You'll have one of the afflictions we'll talk about in these 7 minutes. I guarantee it. Share this, if I am right. https://youtu.be/Bcd0rST9XSo

What does it cost when Jesus calls? S31e32 Matt 4:22

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/21

What happens when Jesus calls me? What does it cost? Probably your profession, your possessions, and your preferences. (I think the preferences are the most precious, and therefore the most costly). What do I gain? Person of Jesus; the People of Jesus and the Payment of Jesus. This is payment for sin that you are incapable of ever paying. Give me 7 minutes, to help you count the cost of the call. https://youtu.be/8sClJMtcu60

2026/04/20

I’m thinking today of the Original Episode IV A new hope were Obi-Wan Kenobi is on the desert planet tatooine. He plays an old “Jedi Mind Trick” on the stormtroopers and has this classic line: “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for” Don’t we just want to call out to Jesus, as He picks His disciples: Are you SURE these are the guys you are looking for? Watch 6 minutes to hear His answer. Then follow, share and come back tomorrow as you make this a habit. https://youtu.be...

2026/04/19

Right off the bat, repentance is brutal. Why wrestle with it? Well, a kingdom is at stake. A relationship, a citizenship with a kingdom is at stake. Perhaps more importantly, a relationship with a King is at stake. Join me for 7 minutes to see if it is worth it. If it is, follow me. https://youtu.be/YV71VOxr0vU

Be Better than Sodom S31e29 Mt4:13

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/18

Think about what Jesus said about Capernaum: Sodom would have done better than you if it had the blessings that you've had. Sodom would do better than you. Get this: Sodom is used as the good example in the comparison Here is a truth you won’t hear probably in the history of Chrisendom: Sodom would have done better than you. So let's do at least as good as SODOM. Gotta listen to this crazy one: https://youtu.be/popLl0wGbq4

2026/04/17

You have heard the expression:To Him who is given much, much is required. Capernaum is given, of all places in Israel, THE MOST. Will Capernaum be the epicenter of repentance? Will spiritual revival happen there? Will the PLACE that is given the MOST give back the most? Have you been given a lot? or at least ENOUGH to do the right thing with? Let's use Capernaum as an example for us in 7 short minutes.

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/16

How hard was the temptation in the desert for Jesus? How do we know the "difficulty level" of those temptations? Well, angels show up. That's how we know. They show us to minister to Jesus's needs. Wait, why does Jesus have NEEDS? He has emptied some of His God-privileges all the way down to humanity. He has turned Himself into a worthy replacement for us. That is, Jesus is on His way to the cross. If you know all you wish to know about Jesus, don't subscribe. ...

“Oh, he TOOK A FALL.” S31e26 Matt4:9

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/15

Falling is a big deal. Falls can be life-changing, watershed moments. Further, WHAT YOU FALL for, the reason you fall is A BIG DEAL. Fall-down-worship is a big deal too. It is disruptive, unpretty, and may have permanent effects. True fall down worship often results with us not on our FACE, but on our BACKSIDE. When you TAKE A FALL in worship it will be disruptive, unpretty, upending, unplanned, and result with you on your spiritual Kiester. Here is an invitation to enjoy t...

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/14

I’m sorry to say this, but Satan here teaches us how to worship better. Point one, of course, is to have nothing to do with him. Point #2: worship God alone and serve Him. Point #3 is bow down and hopefully for all of us, to “take a fall” in worship. Join me to see what sense we can gather in this encounter of Jesus and Satan. https://youtu.be/M55a7GP4-1M

Throw Yourself Off This Building S31e24 Mt 4:5

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/13

A 15 story fall is particularly dangerous. So is misinterpreting the Scriptures. Satan goes head to head with Jesus, who wrote the Scriptures, about what they actually mean. It isn't a fair fight. Satan has a lot to learn. It sounds crazy, but we are supposed to be learning the same lessons, right along with him. Join me for a 7 minute attempt at not misinterpreting the Scriptures.

Satan Goes to God-School S31e23 Mt4:3

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/12

Satan goes to "God-School" in the wilderness with Jesus. He learns a few things. Satan asks Jesus to short-cut this humanity-thing; this humbling of Himself; this being born in the likeness of men. It is an important feature of Jesus. Without this specific characteristic, there is no cross. This is an important lesson for Satan...and us. Listen 7 minutes about it then subscribe. https://youtu.be/Bo-lf1fpU_k

Why does Satan not “fight fair?” S31e22 mt4:1

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/11

We’ll take a close enough look at Satan to get the measure of him, and it is not pretty. We’ll find a created being, so obsessed with his desire for worship, that he will tempt, lie and deceive at all costs. He doesn’t fight fair with Jesus. He won’t fight fair with you.

You are a DELIGHT to Me S31e21 Mt3:17

2026/04/10

We now interrupt this baptism for a party amongst the Trinity. They are approving, endorsing, agreeing, and delighting amongst each other. Yahoo. Oh and BTW, let's introduce the Holy Spirit in a new way. In so doing, we launch from a Baptism of repentance, to a Baptism of relationship. That's right, today we'll hear of a new relationship with an aspect of the Trinity that we have scarcely heard of before this moment in history. Listen as the Lord delights in us so much...

Where can I meet Jesus today? S31e20

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/09

Jesus goes to particular trouble to meet people at "the baptism of repentance." It is not His place of repentance, but our place of repentance. Jesus comes to the “Baptism of repentance” not because He Himself Had sin But because WE have sin This is exactly the place of contact. It is as if Jesus is saying with this picture: "I will meet people in repentance. I will meet them at the waters of repentance" Therefore, if you are going to meet Jesus t...

Being gathered, or not-gathered, into His barn S31e19

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/08

A mighty Savior is coming. That's important, as He will need to do some powerful things. We should be humble. The greatest human ever to live wasn't worthy of comparison to Jesus. We should be ready to be THRESHED. That's when a farmer takes the Harvest and throws it into the air with a pitchfork. The lighter stalks and chaff blows away, and the heavier grain falls straight down, to be gathered and brought into the barn. Subscribe for more agricultural wisdom tomorrow ;-) https://youtu....

We’ve got snakes in the church! S31e18

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder ·

2026/04/07

If we had a brood of snakes released into a church on a Sunday morning, everybody would be pretty animated about it. So was John the Baptist when a bunch of Vipers showed up at his spiritual event. He calls a snake a snake. Join me for 7 minutes to find out why. As a bonus, you'll learn how not-to-be-a-snake. Subscribe for more reptilian wisdom tomorrow. https://youtu.be/3Kq8PEVHItU
