Does God Need You to Give Him Glory?

Many of us were taught we have a unique purpose in life and that glorifying God means we need to find out exactly what He has planned for us. Often, we think this unique purpose is connected to our employment. As a result, we can spend years jumping from one thing to another, searching for deeper meaning in what we do.But there’s a shortcut to uncovering your purpose. And as I share with a caller in this video clip, it’s simple and straightforward no matter what job, relationship, or season of life you might find yourself in. You’ll discover a deep purpose for your life that is compatible with any career or circumstance.So if you’ve been wondering how to make your life more meaningful, take just a few minutes to check this out.

The church often treats divorced people as the black sheep in God’s family. Some are even told that God can’t use you in ministry if you’ve been married before. But does Scripture support that? This was Brenda’s question, a recent caller to the program.While largely overlooked in Christian discussions about divorce, 1 Corinthian 7 is an eye-opening passage for answering if marital status is a qualifier to be used by God.In this episode, you’ll be encouraged that no matter what you’ve done or not done in your past, Christ has made you blameless, holy, and pure – and equally able to serve in His church!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount is often viewed as a sweet passage for Christian growth. Do good to others, turn the other cheek, and pray for your enemies.But this famous passage also includes instructions to cut off body parts, give money to anyone asking, and be perfect like God. Is Jesus speaking literally, or is He just saying to live better and be nicer?In this episode, I share with a caller why we cannot water down the Sermon on the Mount. It’s a message threatening punishment and death! Thankfully, you’ll see it’s not addressed to believers, and you’ll learn what truly motivates and inspires us today!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9 NASB)Any good Bible teacher knows that context is everything. Yet many Christians remain confused about 1 John 1:9, believing an ongoing cleansing ritual is needed to be forgiven and cleansed by God.It’s shocking that the religious world continues to perpetuate this doctrine, teaching believers that the blood of Jesus is less effective than the Old Testament blood of bulls and goats.In this episode, I explain the proper context of this passage and share with a caller why we are as forgiven today as we ever will be. You can rejoice in knowing that by one offering, you have been cleansed for all time, and your forgiveness is truly finished!We hope you enjoyed this episode.
