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!

BUILDING ON BEDROCK - THE NORMAL CHURCH SERVICE 04/06/2026

BUILDING ON BEDROCK - THE NORMAL CHURCH SERVICE Like they used to say on the radio and TV shows: "Keep those cards & letters comin'!" Here we examine the next few verses in First Corinthians 14 about what should happen when Christians get together. I'm looking forward to hearing from you about it, even if you disagree. but, as alwasy, I do hope it's a blessing. /episode/index/show/reflections/id/40751385

BUILDING ON BEDROCK - PRAYING, SINGING, BLESSING 03/30/2026

BUILDING ON BEDROCK - PRAYING, SINGING, BLESSING Continuing in First Corinthians 14, we examine verses 15 through 19. I'm not trying to take doctrinal sides in this, but to examine everything in the passage, regardless of denominational positions. Please remember that I'm seeking and sharing what I'm convinced is Truth, not Trends nor traditions. As always, I hope it's a blessing. /episode/index/show/reflections/id/40673360

BUILDING ON BEDROCK - TONGUES AND INTERPRETATION 03/23/2026

BUILDING ON BEDROCK - TONGUES AND INTERPRETATION Here I examine 1 Cor. 14: 1-15. I tried not to ignore anything in this passage, but I DID ignore all the various church traditions about it (except to correct one or two). I'm especially excited to announce "Christ in Session" meetings at Discover Church in Camp Hill, PA startiing Tuesday, April 7! As always, I hope this episdoe is a blessing. /episode/index/show/reflections/id/40593905

CHRIST IN SESSION -WHAT REALLY CEASED 03/16/2026

CHRIST IN SESSION -WHAT REALLY CEASED It's no accident that this message follows several on agape Love. I present this with the firm conviction that the ONLY thing that "ceased" with the completion of the Bible was...the writing of the Bible! Whether you agree or disagree, I pray this message causes prayerful examination of God's Word on this and every subject. Blessings! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/40500430

CHRIST IN SESSION - LOVE IN ACTION 03/09/2026

CHRIST IN SESSION - LOVE IN ACTION I have to apologize for the lack of professionalism in this one. I'm not really tech-savvy, so something I don't understand made it impossible for me to edit out all the grunts, snorts, false starts and verbal pauses. I hope it's a blessing and encouragement anyway. God bless! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/40373540

CHRIST IN SESSION 5 - ONE BODY, MANY MEMBERS 03/02/2026

CHRIST IN SESSION 5 - ONE BODY, MANY MEMBERS Picking up where the last episode left off, we examine First Corinthians 12, verses 22 through 27. We can't operate in the supernatural manifestation and gifts without understanding the dynaics of the Body of Christ in action, and we need to be properly realted to each other. As always, I hope it's an inspiration and a blessing! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/40288500

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! Here we begin to examine 1 Corinthians 12 through 14 without using the "lens" of any denominational bias. I welcome all responses, even if you disagree! 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? This answer is controversial: radically Biblical and Biblically radical! I left the music off this one: straight Bible sharing. Which do you prefer? /episode/index/show/reflections/id/39888055

BUILDING ON BEDROCK Introduction 01/22/2026

BUILDING ON BEDROCK Introduction Here I begin to examine what the New Testament says about how "church" is designed to function. I'm not trying to shock or upset anyone. I am trying to prepare believeers for what might be in our near future. I hope it encourages those who hear this word. Pleases let me know your thoughts! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/39828540

THE NECESSITY OF GOD'S LAW 09/22/2025

THE NECESSITY OF GOD'S LAW Continuing our Reflections on Psalm 19, we begin the second part: God's Revelation in Scripture. This all-important theme appears throught the Bible, as it should As always, I hope it's a blessing. /episode/index/show/reflections/id/38314655

THE SUN REVEALS THE SON 09/15/2025

THE HEAVENS DECLARE, PART 2 09/08/2025

THE HEAVENS DECLARE, PART 2 In our last Reflection we focused on Psalm 19 verse 1. This time we'll look at the first 3 verses together. Let's let our understanding and perception of our Creator and Redeemer be broadened and deepened by His Word. /episode/index/show/reflections/id/38134675

THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD 09/01/2025

THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD We begin Reflecting on Psalm 19, and we don't get any further than the Truth-packed first verse! As always, I hope it's a blessing. /episode/index/show/reflections/id/38047120

THE HERITAGE OF FAITH 08/25/2025

THE HERITAGE OF FAITH Continuing Genesis 13, we see Lot's foolish and selfish choice, and how God blessed Abram! I don't know where the "underwater" effect came from, and I hope it's not distracting. Blessings, listeners! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/37948055

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. May you be comforted and blessed by God's Word! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/37863395

CALLING ON THENAME OF THE LORD 08/04/2025

CALLING ON THENAME OF THE LORD After a long hiatus, we return to the Book of Genesis. We pick up where we left off, Abram's return to Canaan after his sojourn in Egypt. In this God-breathed text, we find some valuable lessons for life in the 21st century! As always, I hope it's a blessing! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/37666425

PSALM 18 CONCLUSION 07/28/2025

PSALM 18 CONCLUSION It took 14 Reflections to cover all of Psalm 18, but we finally did it. This one completes the Reflecting and then reviews the entire Psalm. As always, I hope it's a blessing! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/37578805

VENGEANCE BELONGS TO OUR PRAISEWORTHY GOD 07/21/2025

VENGEANCE BELONGS TO OUR PRAISEWORTHY GOD Nearing the end of Psalm 18, this Reflection focuses on the exhortation to leave "getting even" with God, and just how praiseworthy He is. How much true content does our prainsing the Lord contain? As always, I hope it's a blessing. /episode/index/show/reflections/id/37484140

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. This was written as an example to us: are we doing the same thing, or are we taking credit for God's victories? /episode/index/show/reflections/id/37400395

OUR WARFARE 07/04/2025

OUR WARFARE In Psalm 19, verses 37 through 42, the Holy Spirit inspired David to write about his natural enemies. But the principles also apply to our spiritual enemies today! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/37283700

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

GOD ENLIGHTENS OUR DARKNESS Continuing our Reflections on Psalm 18, we notice how only God can bring His light into our lives. We need to trust Him for everything. And, of course, we CAN trust Him for everything! As always, I hope it's a blessing! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/36824020

FACING OUR ENEMIES 05/27/2025

FACING OUR ENEMIES Continuing our Reflections on Psalm 18, we join David as he gets real about his circumstances in God's presence. Let's put away our religious facades and be real as well in His presence so that His responses will be just as real! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/36728505

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. May we find comfort and encouragement in this portion of Scripture. /episode/index/show/reflections/id/36625485

WHEN GOD RESPONDS 05/12/2025

WHEN GOD RESPONDS Continuing our Reflections on Psalm 18, we consider the God-breathed poetic description of God's response to the prayers of His people. As always, I hope it's a blessing! /episode/index/show/reflections/id/36535300

THE PANGS OF DEATH 05/05/2025

THE PANGS OF DEATH Continuing our Reflections on Psalm 18, we look at a time when not only David, but all of us definitely "cry out to God". Let's stop feeling guilty and hiding our struggles. Then we can take them to the Lord honestly. As always, I hope it's a blessing. /episode/index/show/reflections/id/36439235

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. The day's schedule keeps me from doing it again & I don't have tech support. But I hope it's a blessing in spite of the abrupt start. /episode/index/show/reflections/id/36341855
