Have you ever considered the deeper meaning behind the curtains that grace the windows of our homes?

Traffic

September 07, 2023 01:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MB

In this week’s episode, in lieu of eternity, we delve into a topical sermon (traffic) that is very easy to get stuck in or ensnarled by. The Hebrew rendition of a word within our opening text, indicates the feeling of the road ahead of us, being - vexed, hindered or restricted, without GOD'S guidance, wisdom and grace. We thank GOD for JESUS because HE is the way – THE ONLY WAY - out of that which is symbolic of our lives (traffic) in lieu of eternity. TRAFFIC Proverbs 4:12 Song of the We...

The Virtuous Woman feat. Twala D. Ingram's 'Biblical Thoughts'

August 21, 2023 00:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MB

The 31st Book of Proverbs challenges with this query: "who can find a virtuous woman?" It is not beauty which defines nor is it necessarily marriage or the lack thereof concerning marital bliss. Yet, it is the woman who seeks after and fears GOD that acquires GOD'S blessedness and favor. Tune in to 'Biblical Thoughts' w/ Twala D. Ingram, for this week's podcast or watch the broadcast, via our (free) Roku 'digital on demand' channel or your favorite digital app. This Week's Guest: Lois V....

The Playground, Desert, or Beach - Which Season Are You In?

May 31, 2023 19:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MB

Within this week's message in lieu of eternity... GOD references 'sand' as the boundary which HE placed that causes waves to obey HIS command. Through Jeremiah, GOD says to HIS people, “even the roaring, loud, billowing waves obey MY commands and I even use sand to stop its forward progress so that the waves of the sea can only go so far…” GOD (soon thereafter) contrasts the waves being subject to HIS voice with the disobedient, stubborn, and rebellious nature of HIS people, and HE uses t...

DIRECTIONS

January 28, 2023 02:00 - 24 minutes - 16.7 MB

This week's 'Words of Life' in lieu of eternity... 'Directions' - a path one follows or an action implemented based upon instructions provided. My high school students follow a specific set of directives which I provide, to guide them with inserting a sterile needle into one of 3 veins within the antecubital fossa, which allows a safe, efficient and proficient venipuncture attempt with their peers. Without the purposed intent of following my provided instructions, each would readily admit...

REUNITED

January 28, 2023 02:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MB

'RE' (prefix) - again; in a different way; back to how something was before; backward recall. Example - 're'-vive: to bring back to life; to restore. At death, our bodies will 're'-turn to dust and our eternal spirits will 're'-turn to THE ONE (GOD) who gave it, to receive HIS pronouncement in one of two phrases: 1. "Well done my good and faithful servant..." 2. "Depart from me - I never knew you." It is our purpose and duty of life to secure JESUS as the sole Savior who remedies our si...

ROADBLOCKS

July 19, 2022 01:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MB

In this week's 'Words Of Life' message, in lieu of eternity... As Jesus prepared for His impending death, resurrection and ascension back to Father GOD, the disciples didn't easily accept this message. Thomas then spoke what others were probably thinking, "...we have no idea where You are going - let alone, know how to get there... why leave now?" Jesus lovingly replied and gently conveyed to them the need for His departure to usher in the sanctifying work of Holy Spirit who could not come...

Understanding Affliction: Affliction Originates From Within

April 05, 2022 01:00 - 21 minutes - 28.9 MB

On this week's broadcast / podcast episode of Words of Life, we conclude our four-part series: UNDERSTANDING AFFLICTION. Within this week's message, we challenge one another with introspection because sometimes, it's not another person - it's not satan nor is GOD to blame. There are times that 'affliction' originates from within our deceitfully wicked hearts and it's at times like these that we must challenge ourselves to simply admit: "it's me - it's me - it's me O LORD 🎹🎤 standing in the...

Understanding Affliction: Affliction Assails Us Through 'People'

March 06, 2022 17:00 - 20 minutes - 27.6 MB

People. GOD loves 'us' more than anything. HE is patient. Merciful. Longsuffering. HIS loving attributes towards us are innumerable. And yet, our ability to withstand 'offense' from those we interact with daily, doesn't always measure up if we're honest and introspective with our efforts. Tune in to the 3rd of a 4 part sermon series (Understanding Affliction) as we review specific steps to consider and implement, to handle the 'affliction of offense' in a manner pleasing to HIM. UNDERSTA...

Understanding Affliction: Affliction Emanates From Satan

February 13, 2022 04:00 - 20 minutes - 27.6 MB

In episode 1, we studied our understanding of affliction being a necessary component of our sanctification, in lieu of eternity, and why GOD lays affliction upon those who belong to HIM. Within our 2nd episode of the series, we study why we should become 'proactive instead of reactive' when our adversary (satan) buffets us (with affliction) but for totally different reasons. 'UNDERSTANDING AFFLICTION' (4 Part Sermon Series) Today's Message (2 of 4): AFFLICTION EMANATES FROM SATAN Ephesians...

Understanding Affliction: Affliction Is Lain Upon Us 'By GOD'

January 26, 2022 00:00 - 19 minutes - 26.6 MB

Oftentimes, we are reactive instead of being proactive when we feel attacked, misunderstood or maybe even being the subject of untruths. Yet, before we can withstand 'affliction' in a manner pleasing to GOD, we should attempt to gain an 'understanding' of its origin and then pray for HOLY SPIRIT'S assistance accordingly. Tune in to the first of a four-part series as we delve into our topic... 'UNDERSTANDING AFFLICTION' Part I - 'Affliction' Is Lain Upon Us By GOD Primary Scripture(s) - Isa...

INVITATIONS

July 31, 2021 17:00 - 21 minutes - 30.1 MB

Invitation. A request for one to join, participate or take part in an activity or festivity, with the French acronym - R.S.V.P. (Repondez sil vous plait = please reply) - requested as the desired response. As James writes a letter to Christians scattered abroad, he reminds them of what genuine faith looks like and redirects them due to their behaviors and choices (now) mimicking their surroundings instead of JESUS who called them. In essence, James encouraged them to eschew their (worldl...

Body Soul Spirit

February 23, 2021 17:00 - 24 minutes - 33.7 MB

Every human being has been created in the image of GOD as in: we are 'tri' (3) part beings. A perfect analogy exists to symbolize this tri-part relationship if we consider: ice → water→ steam, as symbolic personalities of the same essence. The essence of who we are, body, soul and spirit, are the 3 components that manifest themselves in our daily lives and will reverberate in eternity, for each of us. Thus, it is imperative that we try to grasp and align the three, the way that GOD created...

The Spiritual Cliff

July 06, 2020 20:00 - 28 minutes - 39.8 MB

Everything that we 'see or experience' emanates from the 'unseen' realm. We are not dealing with 'people' - it is the spirits driving the person/people '...for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high (unseen realm) places.' Ephesians 6:12 America has a choice to make but know this: GOD'S patience awaiting our nation's repentance will not last forever. 'THE SPIRITUAL CLIFF' Romans 1:24-32 Pasto...

Finding GOD

March 19, 2020 00:00 - 18 minutes - 25.9 MB

Debunking the myth that we have the ability to 'find' GOD (or most commonly indicated - "I stopped doing bad or I got myself saved, etc..." as if GOD was lost like a set of keys and we 'found' HIM. GOD has never been lost - we (humanity) are. GOD condescends or 'stoops low' to locate the humble and contrite heart dedicated to drawing near to HIM in preparation for eternity. Tune in to find out if you are 'lost or found' and how this impacts your eternity - right here on 'Words of Life.' ...

A 'Closed' Account

July 22, 2019 15:00 - 17 minutes - 23.8 MB

'Closed' accounts summon the idea of accounts to which no further credits or debits can be added. Similarities exist in eternity as well because all have incurred 'earthly' debits/debt with GOD having the right to close (charge off) each of our eternal accounts (lives). To 'charge off' - to close an account with the debt still owed. The saddest reality? Nobody's account (life) has to be 'charged off'. Each of our debts (to GOD) have been 'paid in full' yet, many will refuse GOD'S gracious...

REALITY vs. EXPECTATION - YOU MUST MAKE A CHOICE

July 08, 2019 18:00 - 20 minutes - 28.5 MB

Reality: the state of actuality; how things truly 'are' with no room for guesswork. Expectation: the hope (or belief) that something which has not yet happened - will occur with no doubt attached. 'Death' is a reality that we all must face and deal with no matter how deep the pain but GOD has made us a promise through HIS SON (JESUS): we can trust in HIM to experience eternal safety and joy as well as be reunited with our 'saved' loved ones. Death is not an end - it is an entry into etern...
