Ephesians 4:27 says “Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity for the devil.” Have you thought about the meaning of this scripture?  I’ve heard sermons about “be angry and sin not” but the speaker never said what to do with my anger.  The implication is “just bury it”  “pretend it doesn’t matter” or “sweep it under the rug” .  The lack of instruction of what to do with your anger can be really destructive to ourselves and to those around us.

Would you ever be in agreement with Satan? If you're believing an ungodly belief about yourself, then you are indeed ignoring what Jesus says about you and agreeing with the father of lies himself and living out your life in the boundaries of that lie. Hard to believe right?

In today's podcast, Lee shares with us what is perhaps a new point of view for many on the old popular marketing phrase, "What Would Jesus Do?". It goes much further than the simple bracelet many people wore with the "WWJD" letters clearly visible as a reminder in making decisions as we live our lives.

But what would Jesus do? As we review that question, we find scriptures that clearly define exactly what Jesus would both DO and SAY as he performed his ministry during his time here on earth.

Today, join Rick Hensley (personal assistant to the Directors) as he shares his personal journey of learning to answer the call by obeying in faith.

Jesus prayed in John 17: 23 that believers in Jesus would be “perfected in unity, so that the world may know that you sent Me.” My question for this podcast is "How are we doing at living in unity with fellow believers, and what can we do about it?"

You're not good enough to live a Godly life, and you can't do enough to earn God's affection or favor. In fact, In Isaiah 28, God's word clearly says that all your best attempts at righteousness are in the same category as used toilet paper. When you look at it that way, it makes you re-think how you approach this Christian walk.

Does this mean we give up trying, and live however we want? We'll unpack that question in today's podcast.

It's easy to conflate our identity with our activity and define our worth based on our what we do. If you measure your value by how successful you are, what happens when you fail? In most cases, this is when depression and hopelessness set in. God did not intend for use to be defined by our actions, but by His. That's not to say that our actions are unimportant. On the contrary! Our actions are a result of our beliefs. What we believe about ourselves and about God shine through our actions.

We all need help at times. If you find that you aren’t able to get to the root of your hopelessness, disappointment and discouragement - please reach out to our ministry coordinator at www.restoringthefoundations.org - Our highly trained Ministry Teams will help you get to the roots. Don’t settle for less than complete healing and freedom.

After God showed his power at Mt. Carmel, Elijah ran and hid from Jezebel. Did Elijah forget what God had just done? Why was he so quick to throw in the towel?

If you look at your life, are there any parallels? Has God proven Himself faithful, and yet you keep trying to do it in your own strength? We talk through all this and more on today's podcast.

Authority comes from God alone. He gives and removes authority according to His perfect plan. We can chose to come under the authority of God, and benefit from that covering. We can also try to work in our own authority, but that never ends well.
