December 09, 2018 16:35 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MBTwitter has become the bane of my daily existence. (You’ll discover why as you listen to this PODCAST.) How I LONG—with every fiber of my being, with every beat of my hyperactive heart—for a kinder, gentler Christianity. So did Peter. So did Paul.

1 Peter in HD (Part 21) -- Bible Bootcamp -- The New Testament
December 02, 2018 18:19 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MBWelcome to our third and final installment of Bible Bootcamp. As you will hear in the PODCAST, with due deference to Peter’s challenge to you and me—1 Peter 2:2 (KJV), “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.”—we thought if beneficial to take a bird’s-eye view of the entire Bible. An overview. A survey. The box top to the biblical puzzle. This so that we can understand how each individual piece fits into the whole. Please remember that depending...

In this PODCAST, you will hear from the one, the prediction of whose birth shattered 400 years of a deafening silence and started the Christmas ball rolling—our old and dearly beloved friend, John the Baptizer.

As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, I am thrilled to be able to look you in the eyes (metaphorically speaking) and say to you (literally speaking) with absolute confidence and conviction that you fulfill the mandate of Peter’s words to a degree that would delight the apostles’s heart, as well as my own.

1 Peter in HD (Part 18) -- A Life-Giving Touch of Kindness
November 04, 2018 16:02 - 30 minutes - 27.8 MBLife is short. People are fragile. So very, very fragile. We who have committed our lives to a Gentle Jesus should of all people be a cascade of kindness to others. As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, that is Peter’s message to you and me today. Pretty basic. In a perfect world (which ours is not), this should not even need to be said. But sadly, it does need to be said. And we need to be reminded that… Life is short. People are fragile. We who have committed our lives ...

1 Peter in HD (Part 17) -- "The God of All Comfort"
October 28, 2018 19:30 - 46 minutes - 42.6 MBIt is the single saddest day on the Jewish calendar. As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, that statement, purposely given with the present tense “is,” is true today. It was equally true for Peter’s original Jewish readers. One day each year, indelibly imprinted on the collective psyches of our Jewish friends then and now. “It is today as it was then.” A day which reads in English, “the ninth day of the month of Av” (usually around our month of August). In Hebrew it is called...

1 Peter in HD (Part 16) -- Family Matters
October 21, 2018 17:58 - 56 minutes - 51.8 MBThere is a play-on-words in 1 Peter 1:22. As you will hear in this PODCAST, an insightful play-on-words that we miss to our peril. Coming as it does from Peter’s pen, I can assure you that this play-on-words is most-intentional. Pregnant with meaning poignantly personal to Peter, and to us as well. This play-on-words is a bit of a pun—not humorous at all, but serious in the extreme—that goes straight to the heart of what it means to be committed-Christ-follower now, today, in our curre...

1 Peter in HD (Part 15) -- Redeemed! How I Love to Proclaim It!
October 14, 2018 20:12 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MBIt is one of the most beautiful words to appear anywhere in the Bible. So beautiful, as you will hear in this PODCAST, that the biblical writers invoke this word one hundred one times. Peter will employ it in 1 Peter 1:18 when he writes these 3 amazing words: "You were redeemed." That is a declarative sentence, causing us to ask, What’s the picture??? The biblical picture of redemption. I’ll give you a hint: It all has to do with one of the so-called Minor Prophets. Minor in terms of...

1 Peter in HD (Part 14) -- This Little Light of Mine
October 07, 2018 20:50 - 43 minutes - 39.5 MBWhat does it mean to “be holy”? As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, the answer is remarkably simple and practical. So simple and practical that you don’t need a seminary degree to understand this. And yet, were I a betting man, I would be willing to wager that “be holy” means something vastly different than many of us have been led to believe it means. You, my friend, are in for a treat!

September 30, 2018 19:50 - 49 minutes - 45.3 MBOf all of the things that Peter could have told his unsettled refugee readers, why in the world would he challenge them to “be holy”? Oh my friends, as you are about to hear in this PODCAST, the answer is far more profound than we could ever imagine. Seriously.

1 Peter in HD (Part 12) -- "Prone to Leave the God I Love"
September 23, 2018 20:31 - 35 minutes - 16.3 MBWhat you are about to hear in this PODCAST is Peter’s most powerful appeal. One born in Peter’s greatest failure. It is true that our most powerful life-message comes not out of our spectacular successes, but rather out of our epic failures. So be encouraged. Please remember that depending upon your web browser and connection speed, it may take up to 60 seconds for this podcast to begin to play. God bless you richly as you listen.

1 Peter in HD (Part 11) -- The Prophets Spoke (Boy, did they ever!)
September 16, 2018 17:25 - 47 minutes - 43.7 MBPeter wrote that the prophets “searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances (of the predicted) sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow.” That time had now come. And as you are about to hear in this PODCAST, it was amazing! Last week, we made the point that the portrait of Jesus painted in the Old Testament, by the Old Testament prophets, was dramatically detailed and stunningly complete. Just reading the Old Testament lea...
1 Peter in HD (Part 10) -- A Most-Prophet-able Study (Pun Intended)
September 09, 2018 17:59 - 39 minutes - 36 MBAs you are about to hear in this PODCAST, eight times in only three verses—1 Peter 1:10-12—Peter draws our focused-attention to “the Prophets.” Referring, of course, to the Old Testament Prophets. Individuals—many of whom paid for their prophecies literally with their lives. Individuals to whom we owe our heritage as committed followers of Jesus. Individuals who painted a stunningly complete portrait of exactly who Jesus is centuries before a certain baby boy was born in Bethlehem. I...

August 26, 2018 15:30 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MBMay I ask you a personal question? As you will hear in this PODCAST, the exact same question that I asked of a couple of hundred of the best high school students you’d ever want to meet. Here’s my question: Do you want to live your life in the midst of God’s blessing? If your answer to that question is “Yes,” THIS is what God’s blessing means; THIS is what a God-blessed life looks like.

This message was delivered just one month ago at Hartland Christian Camp. Please join them and me at the foot of the cross, listening to Jesus’ final seven sayings from that cross. THIS is what a gentle Jesus sounds like, even while He’s dying—for you and for me. Please remember that depending upon your web browser and c...

1 Peter in HD (Part 9) -- A Lamp Shining in a Dark Place
August 12, 2018 17:08 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MBAs you are about to hear in this PODCAST, it is one of the most, if not the-most-blessed, doctrines in all of the Bible. So naturally, theologians have to come along and muddy it all up to the point where today it is MUBAR—Messed Up Beyond All Recognition. I’m talking about the blessed doctrine of—fancy name—imminence. As in the imminent return of Jesus. As in the clear and (as you will hear in mere moments) unambiguous Bible teaching that Jesus could return at any time. As in the glorio...

1 Peter in HD (Part 8) -- So Why are We So Surprised?
August 05, 2018 17:25 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MBPaul wrote to the believers in Rome, “Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould, but let God re-mould your minds from within, so that you may prove in practice that the plan of God for you is good, meets all his demands and moves towards the goal of true maturity.” Never was the need for Paul’s plea more evident than in what you are about to hear here in this PODCAST.

July 29, 2018 16:23 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBAs you will hear in this PODCAST, Peter will write this extraordinary sentence: “In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.” Trials, I will remind you, that cost Peter’s readers everything. How did they do it? How was it possible for them—How is it possible for us?—to rejoice when they/we are experiencing the crushing weight of heavy-hearted emotion? You are only 45 minutes away from knowing the answer. Pl...

Promptly at 3 PM… Exactly at That.Very.Moment when Jesus breathed His last… Precisely to the second when Jesus exclaimed, “It is finished. Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit”… This happened: “Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” Do you have any idea what that means? It will take...

July 08, 2018 17:33 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MBAs you are about to hear in this PODCAST, the time has come for us to have a sensible discussion about an issue that has been grossly misunderstood, and consequently grievously mis-taught, in far too many Christian settings. All of this causing so much harm spiritually, mentally, and emotionally to so many. Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Oh, my dear friends, get ready to be set free! Please remember that depending upon your web browser and conne...

June 24, 2018 17:13 - 51 minutes - 46.8 MB“And just when you thought all was lost…” As you will hear in this PODCAST, after his customary-yet-warm greeting, Peter could have begun his first foray into his rather short-lived, two-letter, dual-epistle-writing career with these words: “And just when you thought all was lost…” Because for Peter’s original readers, All.Was.Lost! For these now-“scattered abroad exiles” had just been forcibly removed from their homes, had their lives permanently disrupted, and their families dramat...
