MAN IN THE MIRROR

We're in the middle of a Pandemic, we have vaccines, there are still plenty of people unemployed, yet, we're expected to still praise God in the middle of all this.  What did David mean when he said, I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall be continually on my mouth, Psalms 24:1"  Are you able to praise him right now, even in the midst of this storm, or whatever storm that you're going through.  All Zoomed out, bills, children acting up because they are home all the time and tired of virtual school and having issues with that, but yet, God still wants us to trust Him.   Join Kai and Nichelle Saturday, May 15, 2021, at 8:00 PM, as we discuss this ever-so-important topic.  Call in at 845.277.9384, or call in at www.blogtalkradio.com/man-in-themirror.  Tell us your thoughts on this, and tell us how you're handling this thing that seem to be getting worse than better.  See you there...

MAN IN THE MIRROR  is continuing our book club.  We've been reading and discussing Don Wood's book THE GOOD WORK.  Don is coming on monthly to have a discussion about this bestseller.  In tonight's episode, we will be discussing chapter Three."God Has His Tools."  "Think about it: when we break an arm or leg, we go to an orthopedic doctor. It is next to impossible to properly set a broken bone, along. When we have vision trouble we go to an ophthalmologist to see if there is an internal problem with our eyes (cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy) None of these can be fixed by you alone.  Tea can't fix those issues. Finally, when there is a heart issue we go to a cardiologist.  Try doing your own open heart surgery! Step1: Anesthesia; Step 2: zzzzzzzzz."  God Has His Tools.   Join Kai and Nichelle on Saturday, May 1, 2021, at 8 PM as we welcome back author, and man extraordinaire on MAN IN THE MIRROR.  Call at 845.277.9384, or log in at www.blogtalkradio.com/man-in-themirror.  Help us discuss chapter three of THE GOOD WORK "God Has His Tools."

When 2020 came in, and we were hit with COVID-19, a lot of things has happened to us all.  We were wondering where was God and why did he allow this to happen? Yes, that's the word, why did he allow it to happen?  Jobs lost, companies closed down, divorces, and much, much more.  God's word says "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7)." We will first begin with prayer, and if you have any questions please press the number 1 and you'll be put in our cue.

MAN IN THE MIRROR has started something new, a book club.  Since we're diving into author Don Wood's book THE GOOD WORK in 2021, we've decided to start a book club.  We're having Don on once a month to have a one on one discussion about this bestseller.  In tonight's episode, we will be discussing chapter two " God's Knock-out Punch."  "I remember years ago hearing about a technique lifeguards supposedly use to help people who are drowning but who are flailing and thrashing in the water.  I really don't know how true it is, but there or not it serves my purpose.  The concept is that if a person is flailing widely in the water and the thrashing and wild movements threaten to end the life of both the victim and the lifeguard, the lifeguard is supposed to knock the victim unconscious so that the flailing stops and the victim can be moved to safety.  this is probably a lifeguard house rule because there is nothing written to support this method.  Let's say it is true; that is what God did for me."  The great Knock-out punch of God.   Join Kai and Nichelle on Saturday, March 27, 2021, at 8 PM as we welcome back author, and man extraordinaire on MAN IN THE MIRROR.  Call at 845.277.9384, or log in at www.blogtalkradio.com/man-in-themirror.  Help us discuss chapter two of THE GOOD WORK "God's Knock-out Punch."

As the New Year is upon us, we should all have something to be thankful for.  Yes, even in the midst of the great turmoil of the Pandemic, the elections, and now what happened at the Capital, we still have praise that no other person has, why?  Because God is still in control and deserves all our praise.  Remember, David said I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be on my mouth.

There is a story in the Bible that I truly love, and that story is Zacchaeus the tax collector.  Now you're probably asking why is that person for story viable to me right now?  Well, I'm glad you asked.  You see, Zacchaeus was a tax collector in the new testament times.  He was a short man, and like today, wasn't loved by anyone because of his profession of being a tax collector.  But something happened to him that changed his life forever.   What was that, it was the day that he met Jesus when Jesus had entered Jericho.  You see, when Jesus entered Jericho, Zaccheus wanted to see him, but being a short man he couldn't because the crowd of people was taller than he was.  So, Zacchaeus climbed a sycamore tree-fig tree to see him.  But this is what changed his mind.  When Jesus got to that tree, he looked up and called to Zaccheus and said "Zacchaeus come down immediately, I must stay at your house today."  Could you imagine what was racing through Zaccheus's mind when he heard those words?  Can you imagine the look on the people's faces around him when they heard Jesus say that? Do you think that Zacchaeus was Worth Jesus spending time with him, a tax collector?   Join Kai and Nichelle on MAN IN THE MIRROR tonight.  Call in at 845.277.9348, or log in at www.blogtalkradio.com/man-in-themirror.  Was Zaccheus worth Jesus spending time with him? Are there people today around you that don't know their worth? Help us with this mind bogaling delima.

As we're going through this life that God has given us, we are going to make mistakes, hurt someones feeling, or even get our feelings hurt.  Why? because the word says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23.  We all make mistakes, we may hurt each other, intentionally, or even intentionally.  But, what do you do when someone makes a mistake and hurt you, and they come back and ask for forgiveness? Do you forgive them, or do you hold on to it for the rest of your life? Or have you figured out THERE IS POWER IN FORGIVENESS?  Join KAI and NICHELLE on September 5, 2020, at 8 PM - 9 PM, as they discuss this great phenomenon that many people have heard about, but sometimes don't even consider it, or want to do it because of a hardened heart.  Call in at 845.277.9384, or log in at www.blogtalkradio.com/man-in-themirror.  Be the first to give us your viewpoint on this hot topic.

In the word, it talks about Stewardship.  God wants us to be good stewards of what he's given us.  Well, what does the word steward mean?  The definition of a steward is "manage or look after."  God wants us to manage and look after what he's blessed us with.  We pray and ask God for this and for that, and when he blesses us with it, do we take care of it, oh, my bad, do we manage it properly.  But guess what?  What happens when COVID-19 hit and we still have to be good stewards, are we able to stick to the command?  Join Kai and Nichelle host of MAN IN THE MIRROR, tonight, August 1, 2020, at 8 PM - 9 PM.  Call in at 845.277.9384, or log in at www.blogtalkradio.com/man-in-themirror.  Help us along with a special guest host as we dive into this great discussion.  God gives us commands, but is it always easy to keep them when trouble hits.
