How to Build Your Life Praying Bible Prayers

In a previous podcast, we talked about the importance of praying Bible prayers. Bible prayers are prayers based on God’s Word. They are prayers that are laced with scriptures specifically Bible promises. Today, in this week’s podcast episode, we are going to show you how to pray these kinds of prayers.

Why Praying in Faith Means to Believe You Receive

Robert Murray McCheyne, the great Scottish prayer warrior, said that we must “Learn that urgency in prayer does not so much consist in vehement pleading as in vehement believing.”1 Prayer is good. Believing that you receive when you pray is better. It’s perfect Bible order. It’s the way Jesus taught us to obtain answers to prayer.

Faith and Prayer: Important Lessons to Know

One unknown writer said, the following about faith and prayer. He said, ‘Faith dies through lack of prayer.’1 The statement sounds right at first glance but is it? The truth is the statement is backward. Prayer does not make faith work. It’s the other way around. Faith makes prayer work. What is faith’s connection to prayer? We can learn valuable lessons about faith and prayer by looking at how Jesus spoke to the fig tree in Mark eleven.

Five More Simple Secrets When Praying to God

Podcast: Light on Life Season 6 Episode 4

Five More Simple Secrets When Praying to God

Recently, I ran into this illustration that shows a simple secret when praying to God. A woman lived in a small house built at the foot of a tall mountain. The mountain obstructed her view and made the inside of the house dark. She had read Jesus’ promise about faith moving mountains. Taking it literally, one night she prayed that the Lord would remove the mountain. The next morning the mountain was still there. “Humph!” she replied. “Just as I expected!”1 This woman didn’t act as if the Lord heard her and that’s one simple secret. But there are more secrets you can use when praying to God and that’s what we are focusing on in this week’s Light on Life.

Why It’s Important to Spend Time Talking to God

Podcast: Light on Life Season 6 Episode 3

Why It’s Important to Spend Time Talking to God

Stonewall Jackson was a man who spent time talking to God. He said: “I have so fixed the habit in my mind that I never raise a glass of water to my lips without asking God’s blessing. I never seal a letter without putting a word of prayer under the seal, never take a letter from the mailbox without a brief sending of my thoughts heavenward, never change my classes in the lecture-room without a—minute’s petition for the cadets who go out and for those who come in.” As we launch out into 2019, it’s important to do it with prayer as one of your foundational blocks. ‘Why It’s Important to Spend Time Talking to God — that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

Why This First Jesus Miracle Matters

Podcast: Light on Life Season 6 Episode 2

Why This First Miracle of Jesus Matters

Jesus miracles matter, especially His first one. Every Jesus miracle matters. Here is a modern day one. In Kissimmee, Florida, a tornado lifted Jonathan Waldick, only 18 months old, from his bed. It carried him 50 feet. It injected him into a five-foot-high clump of debris that corkscrewed itself into the splintered trunk of an oak tree. And there, after a frantic, 30-minute search, Jonathan was found, only one foot visible but wiggling with life. There he was found, still cocooned in his Perfect Sleeper mattress, still resting on his purple striped sheet. Relatives and friends call Jonathan Waldick “The Miracle Baby.” They call the event “The Miracle at 1400 Fair Oaks.” One woman, Janice Gassert said, “I think God has something planned for this boy. I believe there’s a special plan.”

A few feet away, old phonograph records sat atop the wreckage, left there by the wind. It was a recording by the Raker Evangelistic Party, a gospel group. The first song on the album was called, “Oh Lord, You’ve Been So Good To Me.”1 God does all kinds of miracles, and in today’s Light on Life Podcast, we continue to look at some of them like the very first of Jesus miracles in the Gospel of John. We are going to take a look at the turning or water into wine and why it matters.

How Can This ‘Jesus Sign’ Fulfill Your Life

Podcast: Light on Life Season 6 Episode 1

How Can This 'Jesus Sign' Fulfill Your Life

There is an old rabbinical legend that illustrates how a Jesus sign can fulfill your life. It goes something like this: “When Joseph was Prime Minister to Pharaoh, during the seven years of famine, he emptied the chaff of his granaries into the Nile River. It floated far away on the moving current, and the people on the banks at a great distance below saw it. It was only chaff, but it meant that there was corn in plenty elsewhere.” When the hungry saw the floating chaff, they were sure that if their strength held out, and they could reach the point at which the chaff was thrown into the river they would find plenty to nourish their life.1

Floating chaff was a sign to a hungry people that abundance was close. Signs are indicators. They are pointers of something up ahead — locater’s you could say. People who are traveling and lost are grateful for signs. In John’s gospels, the miracles of Jesus are signs that testify to who He is. They witness to His mission to save humanity and are distinct reasons to believe in Him. Today, we focus on the very first of Jesus signs at a wedding of all places.

This podcast is the New Years edition of Light On Life. January is the time of the year where people think about things like resolutions, goals, and direction for the upcoming year. Soon after the completion of Disney World, someone said, “Isn’t it too bad that Walt Disney didn’t live to see this?” Mike Vance, creative director of Disney Studios, replied, “He did see it—that’s why it’s here.” 1  Vision is seeing things invisible.

What Is the Real Meaning of the Star of Bethlehem in the Christmas Story?

God’s plan was thought up and set in motion before the foundations of the world (Eph. 1:4). Particular courses of events and situations, at times, align to bring into a focus a particular aspect of God’s wisdom and plan. Today, we are going to look at the birth of Jesus in this way. We are going to look at some of the events that came into view during the Christmas story and we are going to ask a rather startling question about one of those events, the appearing of the star. Here is the question: ‘What would have happened, had the Star of Bethlehem not appeared?’

Seven Witnesses to the Mission of Jesus

Podcast: Light on Life Season Five Episode Twelve

Seven Witnesses to Jesus Mission

Charlie Hainline is a layman at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is a man who radiates the love of Christ, and is serious about sharing his faith with others. One year, his goal was to lead 1650 people to faith in Christ (5 a day)! Once, he was out witnessing with a couple of other folks, and though he didn’t share the gospel, he sat there and smiled broadly as a teammate did. When the teammate was finished and asked if the person would like to trust Christ and receive the gift of eternal life, the person replied, “If being a Christian would make me like him (point to Charlie), I want it!” Charlie’s life wasn’t a bed of roses by any means. His daughter was kidnapped, killed, and her head was found floating in a canal. When the murderer of his daughter was caught and convicted, Charlie went to jail in order to witness to the man.1 Witnessing of Jesus, that’s what we are talking about in this week’s Light on Life.

The Zoe Life of God in the Person of Jesus

Podcast: Light on Life Season Five Episode Eleven

The Life of God in the Person of Jesus

Years ago, in St. Louis, someone stole the doll representing the baby Jesus from the manger scene outside the city hall. The next morning, a newscaster announced, “Last night, someone stole the baby Jesus from the manger scene. If anybody has any information about where Jesus might be found, please contact this station immediately.” The message is clear. Many people who look at contemporary Christianity and see what we have done with the Biblical Jesus are asking the question, “Who stole Jesus? Does anyone know how we can recover and restore Him to the place where He belongs?” Often, the real compassionate Jesus has been stolen and replaced with a harsh condemning Jesus.1 In today’s podcast, we continue our series on John’s gospel as we look at the Life of God in the person of Jesus.

Just Who Is Jesus to You?

When we read any of the four Gospels, we have the wonderful opportunity to see Jesus live life on planet Earth. The Word encourages us to emulate Him, to copy Him, to move as He moved, and to overcome as He overcame. The first eighteen verses of John’s gospel, known as “The Prologue,” introduce us to who Jesus is. What do these verses teach us about Jesus, and how does this knowledge help us to fulfill God’s plan for our lives? That’s the focus of this week’s Light on Life.
