BUILDING ON BEDROCK

Jesus Christ Himself and the Word of God, the Bible, comprise the bedrock believers are called to build on. I hope to give believers a vision for fruitful activity as the days grow darker and His return gets closer. Radically Biblical, and Biblically radical!

CHRIST IN SESSION FOUR - UNITY IN DIVERSITY 02/23/2026

CHRIST IN SESSION FOUR - UNITY IN DIVERSITY Continuing our controversial series on how the Body of Christ is designed to function, we examine 1 Corinthians 12, verses 12 abd 13. Even ministries that emphasize teaching of God's Word verse by verse tend to glide over this. This may surprise some saints. but, as Al Jolson used to say, "You ain't heard nothin' yet!" As always, I hope it's a blessing. /episode/index/show/reflections/id/40204790

CHRIST IN SESSION 3 - THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRIT 02/16/2026

CHRIST IN SESSION 3 - THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRIT The subject of "gifts of the Spirit" is controversial, and I'm sorry to say I don't agree with any of the popular positions on the subject. But I do believe that a proper understanding of this truth can liberate local churches from the clutches of either demonic chaos or legalistic control. Please let me know your own thoughts on this. /episode/index/show/reflections/id/40129110

CHRIST IN SESSION 2 02/10/2026

CHRIST IN SESSION 2 Has Church tradition crippled the Church? Not in most ways, but certainly in some!

My hope is to prepare Christians for coming changes in our culture. Blessings! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/40065325

Christ in Session Part 1 - Romans 12 02/02/2026

Christ in Session Part 1 - Romans 12 Here we begin to examine a hotly debated topic: spiritual gifts. I don't want to be guilty of either over or under emphasizing them. This will probably be a whole new perspective for many, since I'm not a devotee of any specific "camp" regarding this. Please let me know what you think! Blessings! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/39970015

BUILDING ON BEDROCK - GARMENTS AND WINESKINS 01/26/2026

BUILDING ON BEDROCK - GARMENTS AND WINESKINS Christ Himself is the foundation the Church is built on. What are we building on this foundation, and how are we building it?

BUILDING ON BEDROCK Introduction 01/22/2026

WHEN UNITY MEANS SEPARATION 08/18/2025

WHEN UNITY MEANS SEPARATION Continuing through Genesis, we see through the separation of Abram from Lot that there are times when separation is not only the best way to maintain unity, but is actually God's will.

GOD'S VICTORIES 07/14/2025

GOD'S VICTORIES Contiinuing our Reflections on Psalm 18, we see how David gave God the credit for all his victories, making them God's rather than his.

OUR WARFARE 07/04/2025

MY HIGH PLACES 06/09/2025

MY HIGH PLACES Continuing our Reflections on Psalm 18, we come to what may be the most well-known portion of it. But because it's well-known, that doesn't mean it's well understood. I make no claims to exclusive truth, but I do think we need to continually question our presuppositions when we approach God's Word. As always, I hoe this one is a blessing! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/36925400

GOD ENLIGHTENS OUR DARKNESS 06/02/2025

FACING OUR ENEMIES 05/27/2025

WHEN GOD REBUKES 05/19/2025

WHEN GOD REBUKES We continue Reflecting on Psalm 18. I know this kind of title doesn't get many downloads, but I'm committed to not skipping anything in God's Word. Also, it's ablessing to see how often God rebukes ON OUR BEHALF, as well as seeing His reasons for rebuking us.

OUR REFUGE, SHIELD AND STRENGTH 04/28/2025

OUR REFUGE, SHIELD AND STRENGTH We continue our Reflections on Psalm 18. I don't know how the beginning got chopped off, and I apologize.

GOD THE ROCK 04/22/2025

GOD THE ROCK WE continue our Reflections on the great Psalm 18, this time focusing on one of the titles David gives God: the Rock.

Let me know if you find it!) /episode/index/show/reflections/id/36264785

LOVING THE LORD 04/14/2025

SERVANT OF GOD 04/07/2025

SERVANT OF GOD Today we begin to Reflect on Psalm 18, a long, Messianic Song also recorded in Second Samuel 22.

EYES, TEETH, CHEEKS AND MILES 03/24/2025

EYES, TEETH, CHEEKS AND MILES Still in Matthew 5, we now Reflect on these very difficult words of the Lord Jesus Christ. I know some wish I'd skip these parts, but since "ALL Scripture is God-breathed, and profitable..." (from 2 Tim. 3:16), I'm determined to not skip over anything. And since it's God's Word, I have confidence that it will be a blessing to all who "have ears to hear." /episode/index/show/reflections/id/35838870

SWEARING VERSUS SIMPLE TRUTHFULNESS 03/19/2025

SWEARING VERSUS SIMPLE TRUTHFULNESS We continue our Reflecitons on Matthew chapter 5, we arrive at something most people ignore, even in churches.
