I just want to talk about the Bible

In this episode we discuss the vital importance of sharing the Gospel, and we ask ourselves some difficult questions about our sharing Jesus habits.Other episodes referenced in this one:Episode 21: "I never knew you"Episode 24: The GospelAccess resources to aid in telling others about JesusI mentioned videos from the recent sharing Jesus workshop that we did at Mentoring Men for the Master. I will include the links to those below for any who are interested. (Please note that many of the videos are shorter because we provided additional time those weeks for the small groups to practice and discuss sharing the Gospel.)Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6Part 7Scriptures referenced:John 4:1-42John 6:35John 7:37-39Isaiah 55:1-2Matthew 11:28Matthew 5:6Luke 19:10Matthew 9:35-38John 14:6Matthew 28:18-201 Corinthians 15:3-4John 3:16-18Romans 3:23Romans 6:23Romans 5:8Romans 10:9, 13Ephesians 2:8-92 Corinthians 5:21Romans 8:12 Corinthians 5:17John 17:3Matthew 7:21-231 John 3:4-61 John 2:1-6John 15:18-202 Timothy 3:12John 7:172 Peter 3:9**CORRECTIONS*At one point when quoting John 4:35, I accidentally omitted part of the verse. The other times I read it, I read that part correctly. However, here is the verse: "Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest."When I said, "Seeking out people; saving people; restoring people to relationship with God; forgiving our sins" I was referring to what Jesus does. I was not implying that we ourselves can save people, restore them to relationship with God, or forgive their sins. Nevertheless, Jesus works through us.I paraphrased John 7:17. Here is the exact quote: "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority."Support the Show.If you feel so led, you can support the podcast by clicking HERE or by clicking the "Support the show" button above.

I meant to say "temptation to think or feel something" (implying something contrary to the Word of God). Obviously, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with thinking and feeling. God Himself thinks and feels. Rather, the point is what we are thinking about and if our feelings are godly.Support the Show.If you feel so led, you can support the podcast by clicking HERE or by clicking the "Support the show" button above.

Today we continue our discussion about spiritual warfare and look at one particular title of the enemy's that reveals how he operates.Other episodes mentioned in this one:Episode 79: Satan was in Eden tooEpisode 80: Do not give in to fear!Scriptures referenced:2 Timothy 1:7James 4:6-71 Peter 5:8-91 John 4:1Matthew 4:1-11Luke 4:13Genesis 3:1-6Ephesians 6:10-11, 16Romans 8:1Revelation 12:10Philippians 4:61 Thessalonians 5:18Romans 8:372 Kings 6:17John 15:5Psalm 127:1**CLARIFICATIONS**I mentioned how the enemy tempted Jesus after Jesus had fasted forty days. Luke 4:1-2 says, "And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry." It's possible based on this passage that the enemy tempted Jesus not only at the end of the forty days, but also during the forty days. Nevertheless, it doesn't undermine, diminish, or change the point that the enemy struck at a moment of vulnerability.Support the Show.If you feel so led, you can support the podcast by clicking HERE or by clicking the "Support the show" button above.

In this episode we talk look at the reality of the spiritual realm and consider one component with regard to identifying the origin of thoughts.Other podcast episodes referenced in this one:Episode 24: The GospelEpisode 77: Fullness of joyListen to the sermon by J. D. Greear that I mentionedHere is the J. D. Greear Quote:"When the Holy Spirit, your real Shepherd speaks, it's in the context of hope. Yes, He will convict you of sin, but when He does, it is redemptive. He identifies what He wants you to change, He gives you a plan to do it, and He assures you of His ability to accomplish it through your life. His voice leads to clarity, and love, and life. When one of the demonic realm speaks to you with a fiery dart, it is in the context of condemnation and despair. It is never clear what they want you to change, there is certainly no hope or no redemption in it. The voice just screams hopelessness and despair.…When our enemy speaks, it has the soundtrack of death, and defeat, and confusion, and despair. When Jesus speaks, it is filled with invitation, and clarity, and love, and hope. Any voice leading you to confusion and despair is your enemy's voice, even if it's using valid questions or pointing out true facts.…My shepherd never leads to confusion and darkness. He leads only to life. Even if Satan is pointing out true things in your life, if it's leading you to despair, recognize that as his voice and resist it.…In your life, the voice of despair is the voice of Satan and never the voice of the Holy Spirit."Scriptures referenced:Psalm 127:1Matthew 10:282 Kings 6:8-17James 1:5Ephesians 6:10-13James 4:71 Peter 5:8-9Ephesians 4:26-27Luke 10:17-20Revelation 12:7-112 Corinthians 2:5-111 Timothy 4:1-22 Corinthians 11:13-151 Corinthians 10:13Psalm 91:11-12Hebrews 1:14Matthew 26:51-54Hebrews 13:2John 4:24Romans 8:28Genesis 1-3Genesis 1:27-28John 10:27Matthew 4:5-7Luke 4:132 Kings 3:5-10James 4:6Judges 6:36-40Galatians 6:2John 10:10aAs a reminder,  if you gave to this ministry in 2023 and didn't receive an email with your contribution records for when you file taxes, please email us at ijustwanttotalkabout@gmail.com, and we will get it sorted out!

In this episode we talk about the joy that comes as a result of being in the presence of God and how important it is that we be walking in that joy.Other episodes referenced in this one:Episode 72: A sacrifice of praiseListen to the sermon by J. D. Greear that I mentionedBelow is the quote from J. D. Greear that I read near the end. Two people asked for it after this lesson was originally given; so, I wanted to include it here as well in case anyone else wanted to note it down."When the Holy Spirit, your real Shepherd speaks, it's in the context of hope. Yes, He will convict you of sin, but when He does, it is redemptive. He identifies what He wants you to change, He gives you a plan to do it, and He assures you of His ability to accomplish it through your life. His voice leads to clarity, and love, and life.

Here is the correct wording: "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."When I said I could think of two times where the Lord really did something in my life and then I was hit with anxiety, I meant that there are two times I could think of that intense anxiety immediately followed what the Lord did. I didn't mean to imply that I could think of only two times when I could remember Him working in my circumstances.

In this episode we talk about living in the freedom of God's grace versus the slavery of legalism. While this episode is lengthy, there is some much more that could have been said on the topic or even just regarding the book of Galatians. After listening to this episode, I would highly encourage you to go read Galatians start to finish keeping in mind what we discussed today.Purchase The Grace Awakening (Chuck Swindoll).View the definition of "justify".View the definition of "righteousness".Quotes used:AMP Bible footnote: "Being justified is a legal or judicial declaration of righteousness. Justification has two parts: (1) Being declared free of blame, acquitted of sin—not guilty. Believers are justified because Jesus Christ personally assumed the guilt for our sin on the cross; (2) God declares the person righteous, that is, placed in a position of right-standing with Him. A person may not be made righteous by his personal behavior, no matter how good, or by the declaration of any other human being.""There is a battle raging today throughout the world in the heads and hearts of multitudes of people, who just will not accept the fact that they can do absolutely nothing to justify themselves before God!" (Phil Newton)"Paul did not deny that good works were significant. He just denied that they were the grounds of our acceptance. Ephesians 2:8-10 shows Paul's gospel clearly—God's initiating grace, through mankind's faith response, unto good works."
