Making Choices is a God Given Ability
February 09, 2021 23:30 - 20 minutes - 17.4 MBImagine this, God allows us to make choices! He gives us the free choice and free will to live our lives the way we desire. But, of course God desires that we would choose to love and obey Him. When our hearts are turned toward God, then making decisions that honor Him are possible. Ephesians 1:11 (NKJV) says,11 "In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12that we who first trusted ...
Send Me Lord and I Will Go
January 26, 2021 23:30 - 46 minutes - 41.4 MBAs a believer in Christ Jesus, a call to service is a delight! Whether ordained clergy or not, God desires that all be laborers in His kingdom. When God gives us an assignment, He equips us to carry out His work. His calling always includes a concern about others and the condition of their souls. Ministry is not merely something we can do, but something we must do. How does one know when God is calling? It is when we see the collaborative working of God's divine purpose uniting with our wil...
Responding to God's Call
January 12, 2021 23:30 - 46 minutes - 42 MBAs a believer in Christ Jesus, a call to service is a delight! Whether ordained clergy or not, God desires that all be laborers in His kingdom. When God gives us an assignment, He equips us to carry out His work. His calling always includes a concern about others and the condition of their souls. Ministry is not merely something we can do, but something we must do. How does one know when a calling has been placed on their life for ministry? It becomes an overwhelming obsession without escape....
New Beginnings: A Hope and a Future
December 29, 2020 23:30 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBJanuary 1, 2021 kicks off the new year! HAPPY NEW YEAR, to you all. Yes, the time has come to wrap up the old and usher in the new. What's in store exactly? I don't know. But, I will give thanks to God for a new beginning, a fresh start, and second chances. The year 2020 will go down in US history as a time of civil, social and political unrest; a period when hundreds of thousands of people loss their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic public health crisis; and two-quarters of the US economy ...
Peace on Earth and Goodwill Toward Men
December 15, 2020 23:30 - 16 minutes - 14.1 MBDuring the holiday season, I love to open Christmas cards and read words of encouragement that are rooted in the Word of God. Some of these words that truly reflect the reason for Christmas are joy, peace, love, happiness, family, and good tidings. Nowadays, most Christmas cards just say "Happy Holidays"! Sadly enough, we're lucky if we even see the word Christmas anymore. Jesus is the reason for the season! This passage sums it up God's love, joy, and peace. Isaiah 9:6 (NIV) "For unto us...
A Prayer of Thanksgiving
December 01, 2020 23:30 - 14 minutes - 12.5 MBWe just celebrated Thanksgiving Day, which for many had a very different look and feel. Because of COVID-19, it was recommended that families in separate households not fellowship together. It was strongly suggested that if traveling plans were being made, to do so by automobile. Most people exercised wisdom and sheltered-in, while trying to make the best of a grim situation. I know of many people who reluctantly spent Thanksgiving Day alone. I Thessalonians 5:18 says, "in everything give th...
The Soul of Our Nation and Redemption
November 03, 2020 23:30 - 15 minutes - 13.1 MBJohn Lewis, a well-known civil rights leader, wrote an essay before his death on July 17, 2020. His essay was read at his funeral. Mr. Lewis’ bidding for all America is heard through these words,"Together, you can redeem the soul of our nation. Though I am gone, I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you truly believe." When I hear these two words "soul" and "redeem", they have a spiritual connotation. Soul is our breathing conscious body. Redemption spe...
Real Talk: What's Going On? Part II
October 06, 2020 22:30 - 1 hour - 89.9 MBImagine a paneramic view of America. Here's what you mostly likely will see: people who are homeless; people standing in foodbank lines; people protesting police killings; police standoffs; people dying of COVID-19; people wearing masks; and businesses, schools and church buildings closed. Not a pretty sight, right? And, as if that's not enough, poltics have fueled a partisan divide in our nation like never before. Many have placed their hope in the upcoming presidential election and a very m...
Real Talk: What's Going On?
September 22, 2020 22:30 - 1 hour - 90.2 MBToday's information, whether it be via print/social media or news broadcasts, is dismal at best. Yet, most of us are compelled to keep up in order to remain current. One day you may hear something and within the hour it has changed. Realistically, how much information can we really take in, retain, and apply? And at the end of the day, how is it all affecting you, me, and our circle of family and friends? Psalm 24:1-2 says, "The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all ...
Knowing Our Identity in Christ - Part III
August 25, 2020 22:30 - 19 minutes - 17.1 MBUsually, identity is the way we perceive ourselves. It shapes our beliefs and those core beliefs in turn, drive what we think, say and do. How do we describe ourselves, by our attributes, heritage, possessions, backgrounds, aspirations? Overtime, our description becomes our earthly identity. The active pursuit of finding, knowing, and growing in our spiritual identity is paramount. As believers and followers of Christ, we walk in the newness of life, a new creation; hence the term born again...

Homeschooling: My Family's 19-Year Journey
June 30, 2020 22:30 - 31 minutes - 27.9 MBA native of Seattle, Vida Oliphant Sneed is the youngest of the five girls born to parents Clarence A. Oliphant and La Verna D. Jones Oliphant, both originally from Iowa. While growing up, Vida discovered these two truths: we all are created with a particular “bent” and our life’s assignment is to learn how to submit that “bent” to the Master’s hand. Based on Deuteronomy 6:5-9, Vida did submit and began her life-rewarding homeschool journey. Vida graduated from high school at age 16 and att...
Practical Application of Spiritual Disciplines
June 16, 2020 22:30 - 31 minutes - 27.5 MBChristian disciplines are vital to our spiritual growth. It's difficult to navigate life without the application of God’s Word. When we read the Bible we are feeding ourselves with spiritual food to help us through the days, weeks, months, and years to come. Bible intake is necessary. There are other disciplines such as prayer, fasting, worship, serving, and giving, that enriches our lives and equips us to live victoriously. II Timothy 3:16-17 says, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of ...
Symptoms of a Wicked Heart
June 02, 2020 22:30 - 26 minutes - 23.4 MBDaily, our national affairs reveal the root problem of a wicked heart. Hatred, prejudice, and racism, just to name a few symptoms, are deeply rooted in the history of America. The most recent police shootings and killings are causing people to rise up and say, "Enough is enough!" The wicked heart is a condition that only God can remedy. It is God alone who can give us a new heart and put a new spirit within us. He has to remove the heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh. The state of o...
We Need Hinds Feet to Make our Ascent
May 19, 2020 22:30 - 16 minutes - 14 MBWherever God has called us, we need to walk in boldness and confidence in Christ Jesus, because God has equipped us. He may send us down into the valley in order to make our ascent up to the mountain top. Along this journey, who will be our companions – the naysayers or the praisers? Daily, we are being prepared by our Heavenly Father to get to high places. We will make our ascent, if we just trust God. Habakkuk 3:19 says, "The Lord God is my strength, and He has made my feet like hinds’...

Listen To Me So You Can Really Hear
April 21, 2020 22:30 - 19 minutes - 16.9 MBWe talk to people all the time --in-person, over the phone, or through various communication and video apps. When we engage in conversation with others, we share what's on our hearts. It's a comfort to have a listening ear. Hopefully, everyone has a confidant who fullfils that role. What happens when the role is shifted? Do we listen and become self-involved? Do we listen and disregard the other person's feelings? Or, do we always listen waiting for the opportunity to give an answer? Proverb...
You Pray for Me, I'll Pray for You
April 07, 2020 23:30 - 12 minutes - 10.5 MBOver the past couple of months, I've been praying more than ever before. "Why?" I asked myself. All I could come up with are these two words "uncertainty"and "unknown" that best describe my feelings. And yes, it has everything to do with COVID-19! As for the word uncertainty –well who knows exactly what is going to happen next? And, as for the word unknown --well who can predict the outcome of our overall health, wealth, and security? The only response I have to offer is God is sovereign and...
Day-to-Day Living During This Novel Pandemic
March 24, 2020 22:30 - 46 minutes - 41.4 MBWe are in unprecedented times! The entire world is living with the outbreak of a pandemic disease, coronavirus (COVID-19). It is spreading and the death toll is rising. Globally, we are being called to social-distancing, the new norm. And, our daily-living routines have come to a screeching halt. There is one unanswered question --"What's next?" Join us Tuesday, March 24, 2020, at 3:30 PM, PDT, as we talk to others and learn how they are coping with and adjusting to safety precautions an...
Christian Disciplines: Help to Get Us Out of the Weeds
February 25, 2020 23:30 - 21 minutes - 18.7 MBDiscipline for the Christian is a must! Think of it this way, we need "spritiual disciplines for the Christian life." I didn't think up this phrase. It's actually the title of a book in my library. The authors are Donald S. Whitney and the forward is by J. I. Packer, two writers with whom we are very familiar. The word "discipline" can carry a negative connotation and brings to mind punishment. While growing up, I was diciplined by my parents. Even today, I am still being disciplined by my He...
Christian Apologetics: Defending Our Faith
February 11, 2020 23:30 - 17 minutes - 15.5 MBApologetics is a big word. It basically means to offer an apology. So you might ask, why are we apologizing for our belief in Christ Jesus? In answer to that question -- we're not! Apologetics is developing and using a defense or being able to give an explanation to others. God's Word is always under attack, both unintentionally and intentionally. And, as believers in Christ, we claim the Bible is the absolute authoritative guide in our lives. How then, do we defend our faith? The Bible?...
One Nation Under God: Our Allegiance to Christ
January 28, 2020 23:30 - 16 minutes - 14.1 MBHere in the United States of America we have the United States Constitution that starts out with "We the people" and goes on to establish national government and fundamental laws and guarantees certain basic rights for its citizens. The Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787. Also, in America, we have a national flag --a symbol to which Americans publicly pledge our allegiance to the United States of America. This flag represents privilege and freedom to all citizens! To whom and what...
Hidden Pictures: Can You See the Obvious?
January 14, 2020 23:30 - 16 minutes - 13.8 MBSometimes I wish I had a huge magnifying glass to see what I'm missing. The purpose of a magnifying glass is to enlarge that which appears small or seems to be unclear to the naked eye. In other words, it improves our vision! The question for the day is "How can we improve our vision of God the Father so we can see Him in the midst of our daily living activities?" The Book of Romans, 1:20, says, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood ...
Jesus is the Light of the World
December 17, 2019 23:30 - 15 minutes - 13.6 MBThe baby Jesus was born in the manger, but the Christmas story does not end there. God the Father sent His Son called Emmanuel, into this world in fleshly form. He dwelt among us. This event is the beginning of an eternal story. In Matthew 1:23, it says, “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Emmanuel” (which means “God with us”). The rest of the story is Jesus was crucified, buried, resurrected from the dead, and He will return again. Christ died for us so...
Real Talk: Our Words, Our Audience
December 03, 2019 23:30 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBWe all have something to say and most of the time we will have an audience who is willing to listen. People enjoy engaging in an interesting conversation or having a thought-provoking discussion sprinkled with differing opinions. After all, we all don't think alike and not all may agree. What happens when someone has to be right and the other person is wrong? Some may even resort to spewing disparaging remarks, name calling, and finger pointing. I know for me, I have felt very uncomfortable a...
God's Blessings that Flow from New Beginnings
November 19, 2019 23:30 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBGod puts an eternal spin on everything He touches. Afterall, He is the God of eternity. We tend to see and only notice that which is temporary. God intends to bless us richly with every good and perfect gift that comes from above. His blessings are wrapped in unconditional love, matchless grace, and salvation. Deuteronomy 28:2-3 says, “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed s...
The Personal Names of God: What Do They Mean?
October 15, 2019 22:30 - 14 minutes - 12.5 MBA name tells us a lot about the person. Oftentimes, much thought has gone into our chosen names given to us by our parents. There may be a family generational history behind a name. Or, a name could have been popular during a particular Hollywood movie era. What do our names mean? Do we live up to the meanings of our names? I AM, Yahweh, and Jehovah God are just a few names for our God. The names of God speak to His character and describes who He is. The various meanings of His names emb...
Our Blessings Box: The Gifts in Life
September 03, 2019 22:30 - 16 minutes - 13.9 MBEveryday should bring new opportunities and adventure! Okay, wait a minute. We all know that life happens --the bitter and the sweet. So, what is our perspective on life when we encounter pain and devastation? How do we view what appears to be the downside to life, you know when it seems as though nothing ever goes right? Do you ever wonder and ask yourself where are my blessings? In James 1:17, it says, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heaven...
Evangelism: Sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ - part II
August 06, 2019 22:30 - 30 minutes - 26.6 MBThe Gospel of Jesus Christ is good news! Christ died for sinners. What better news is there to share? When we accept God's gift of His one and only son, we enter into a right and eternal relationship with God the Father. Sharing the Gospel of Christ is not mechanical, argumentative, or combative, but rather lavished with the love that Jesus Christ has poured out onto us. Romans 1:16 says, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone wh...

Burden of the Rocks in Your Wagon
July 09, 2019 22:30 - 16 minutes - 14 MBGod's voice is easily detectable. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? When we read the Bible, a red-letter edition helps us know when Jesus is speaking. But what about when we're not reading God's word? How does God speak to us then? Is His voice a soft whisper or resounding boom? How can we be sure if it's really God speaking? The key is following Him, not just hearing and knowing His voice. John 10:27 says, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." We should...
My Mornings with Jesus
June 11, 2019 22:30 - 15 minutes - 12.9 MBEach morning I awaken is a gift from God! At the top of the hour, 6:00 am, I am getting out of bed. Most of the time I'm eager to give God my first few seconds, minutes or hours. On a good day when I arise, I pray and give thanks for another day and welcome what lies ahead. I ask God to order my steps. My desire is to give Him my first fruit of another day. In complete honesty, I don't always approach my mornings like that. What about you? We know our mornings can be consumed with what we w...
Let God Choose: He Knows Best
May 28, 2019 22:30 - 15 minutes - 13 MBI remember most of the childhood nursery rhymes, such as "Baa Baa Black Sheep", "A-Tisket, A-Tasket", "Georgie Porgie", and "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush", just to name a few. As kids when playing in a large group, it was necessary to pare down the group. The fairest way to do that was to use the counting rhyme "Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe" to choose someone or count them out. I am so glad our Heavenly Father does not use a nursery rhyme to chose his people. I am also very thankful that God...
Women: God Uses Unique and Ordinary People
May 07, 2019 22:30 - 16 minutes - 14.6 MBWomen are unique! God has given us great responsibilities. Just think, we get to experience being daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, aunts, and grandmothers. God's Word graciously instructs us on widowhood, modesty, conduct that is "becoming", and authority. What is required of us to realize God's plan for our lives? Short answer --God's wisdom and a heart of obedience. Years ago, I memorized this Scripture, "The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish woman tears it down with her own...
The Splendors of Egypt Tour and Biblical Roots
April 23, 2019 22:30 - 16 minutes - 14.1 MBI recently returned from a 10-day tour in Egypt. It was spectacular! The itinerary was full of all the main tourist attractions in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Kom Ombo/Edfu. As well as, a three-day cruise on the Nile. I got to stand on the grounds of ancient history with all its unexplained mysteries. I couldn't begin to comprehend it all without going back to the Bible. It was there that I was reminded of how Egypt played a critical role in the history of the children of Israel. The children o...
What A Difference A Day Makes
March 26, 2019 22:30 - 16 minutes - 13.9 MBSometimes it's difficult to get up in the morning and get going. We all have our daily routines and if we are completely honest with ourselves life can become mundane. It's easy to feel as though we are stuck in a rut. What if we woke up each morning with the perspective that each day is a gift from God? Each day brings new possibilities. We have 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, at least 30 days in a month, and 365 days in a year. Psalm 27:4 says, "One thing I ask from the Lord, this on...
Title: Forty Days of Lent: What Will You Give Up?
March 12, 2019 22:30 - 16 minutes - 14 MBWednesday, March 6, 2019, is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten Season. Christians will observe 40 days of Lent and reflect on the death and burial of Jesus Christ. Then, with much hope, we will look beyond Christ's crucifixion and prepare spiritually, emotionally, and physically to celebrate Resurrection Day/Easter Sunday. Jesus Christ sacrificed and withdrew into the desert for 40 days. As our perfect example, we too can fast from food, festivities, or anything else that falls into...
Knowing and Fulfilling Our Destiny
February 26, 2019 23:30 - 17 minutes - 15.3 MBLife is not simple when we do not know what it is we are supposed to be doing. The unknowing gives way to floundering and groping around in the dark trying to figure it out. When we finally realize our destiny, life becomes more clear and intentional. No longer are we afraid to live, dream, and set goals. Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart." (NKJV). Join us Tuesday, February 26, 2019, at 3:30 PM, PST. Our special guest, ...
The Word of God: A Lamp Unto My Feet
February 12, 2019 23:30 - 16 minutes - 14.1 MBWe all seek guidance and advice from family, friends, and the experts. Throughout life we make important decisions about, just to name a few, higher education; careers; employment; who to marry; rearing children; financial matters; and medical concerns. Whose advice is worthwhile and whose advice should we tune out? Tuning out unhelpful advice and opinions gives us more time to listen to sound counsel. There is a roadmap for our lives to which we all have access. Psalm 119:105 says, "Thy Wor...
Devotion: Our Time Spent with God
January 29, 2019 23:30 - 31 minutes - 27.8 MBPersonal devotion matters. Mornings, afternoons or evenings with Jesus is daily encouragement and food for our soul and spirit. It’s like putting on spiritual armor to face spiritual battle fraught with daily challenges. There's nothing worse than existing through life without hope or peace. Peace with our Heavenly Father is being in relationship with Him. He loves us! We can also experience peace in the midst of our struggles. True peace only comes from Jesus Christ who says, "Peace I leave...
Reflections: Poems and Stories from the Heart
January 15, 2019 23:30 - 31 minutes - 27.6 MBWe all have melodies from God in our hearts that can be shared through writings, speaking, stories, poetry, and songs. Whatever our means of expression is, God will assure us the opportunity to share with others what's on our mind and within our heart. In Ephesians 6:19-20 it says, "speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. ...
Happy New Year: A Time for Purpose and New Beginnings
January 01, 2019 23:30 - 16 minutes - 14 MBNew Year's Day marks a time for new beginnings. In the United States of America, January 1st is the 1st day of a new calendar year. The celebration usually starts on new Year's Eve. And, at 11:59:50 pm, we begin the countdown --10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – and then we shout Happy New Year!! When the clock strikes 12:00 midnight, a new day, month, year, decade, and era has begun. Time has existed since the creation. And we, the human race, are driven by our internal clockwork. What are you...
Christmas: A Time for Celebration and Family Traditions
December 18, 2018 23:30 - 33 minutes - 29.4 MBThe Christmas season is upon us! Many will celebrate the birth of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ on December 25. His birth was foretold by the prophets of old way before it came to pass. The New Testament records the fulfillment of these prophecies, thus making the age-old Christmas story biblical and true. Jesus the Son of God was born of a virgin in a manger and came from Bethlehem. Jesus the Christ came in the flesh to save sinners. How does your family celebrate Christmas? What traditi...
Jesus is our Lifeline Through Life and Death
December 04, 2018 23:30 - 16 minutes - 13.9 MBUpon conception the gift of life is in order. But, how long will we live? These past few months, I have been to more funeral/memorial services than I care to count. My family members, friends and colleagues are dying! In the midst of it all, I asked this question, "How is it that my 97 year old aunt is still living and my cousin's daughter who was age 35 died?" After much sadness, weeping and prayer, I landed on my feet, standing firmly on my biblical foundation and the promises of God. Ther...
Thanksgiving: A Special Day for the Homeless

In North America, this annual national holiday is marked by religious observances and a traditional meal including turkey. The holiday commemorates a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621, and is held in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. I Thess. 5:17 says "...in everything give thanks." On November 22, many are looking forward to gathering with family and friends ...

November 06, 2018 23:30 - 31 minutes - 28.3 MBToday, people are looking for love, justice and truth! The masses are standing up and demanding fairness in our neighborhoods, on our jobs, in the streets. You might ask "Who can I turn to for love, justice and truth?" In John 14:6, Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.." If we are in relationship with Jesus Christ and know Him as Lord and Savior, then we will demonstrate love, stand for justice, and know the truth. The truth will set us free. Join us Tuesday, November 6...
Discipleship: Each One Teach Once - part II
October 23, 2018 22:30 - 16 minutes - 14.2 MBIn Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus said "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (NIV). Many believers today aspire to be disciples and to make disciples, but don't know how.

Harvest for the Hungry: What about the Poor?
September 25, 2018 22:30 - 16 minutes - 13.9 MBOn September 22, Yield to the King Ministry will host its 2nd annual fundraising event "Harvest for the Hungry".

Psalm 146:7 (NIV) Our mission is to "mirror the love of Jesus Christ by helping all people in need." So it's obvious we want to raise funds to continue serving those in need through the follo...
