1) We find ourselves in Acts, Chapter 26, verse 17. It doesn't get better than this. Jesus is speaking to Saul, who is yet to undergo his name change to Paul. Some biblical scholars interpret the word 'Saul' to mean 'destroyer', while 'Paul' is believed to mean 'builder'. Jesus explains to Saul the transformative journey that lies ahead, and it's n…

A) As we get closer to concluding the Book of Jude, we resume at verse 18. The author states, “In the last times, there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly ways.” Let’s first define a scoffer. A scoffer is someone who mocks or treats something with contempt or derision. In the context of the Christian faith, we can identify the usual…

1) It's another off-the-rails show on the David Spoon Experience! David delves into Psalm 52:12, where King David asks the Lord to restore his joy of salvation. In an ironic twist, David Spoon finds himself caught up in doing things for the Lord without quickly attending to the Lord of the work. In other words, he got busy with ministry tasks but n…

A) It's another explosive show on the David Spoon Experience! Our great friend Sergio calls in while studying the book of Leviticus. He seeks to understand which laws still apply to us today. Do any of them? How should modern Christians approach these ancient laws?B) David responds by explaining the distinctions within the law: the moral, the civil…

1) Our faith is rooted in Father Abraham, who was declared righteous because of his faith in God. This underscores the importance of faith on a daily basis. However, verse 24 makes it clear that this was for our benefit as well as for Abraham's. God will declare us righteous if we believe and exercise faith, but that faith must be placed in God and…

A) Jesus promptly dismantles their theology. He calls a small child to Him, placing the child among them. He then delivers a stark truth: unless they repent and become like a little child, they will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This is a profound way of saying that their quest for greatness is sinful. B) The problem is straightforward. The disc…

1) Jesus then instructs Paul to stand up, indicating that Paul had been knocked down. As we understand from other parts of his testimony, Paul was knocked down and blinded. Jesus then tells him to get up because they have work to do. Jesus appeared to Saul with a purpose, just as he appears to each of us with a purpose. The primary purpose was to t…

A) Worth noting is the reality that God will judge everyone who has spoken harshly against Him. Those who speak about God in a dismissive manner will discover that their words will come back to haunt them. There are no atheists in foxholes, and there will be no atheists when someone stands before God either. B) Jude concludes this section by making…

1) I felt an urge from the Lord to share this specific message. We've examined it from various perspectives and will continue to do so in the future. There needs to be a mutual understanding between you, me, and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit regarding our relationship. This understanding is that we are summoned to commune with God, the Father, t…

A) “And do not take your Holy Spirit from me.” It’s often misunderstood that the Holy Spirit, manifested here on Earth, is indeed the presence of God. While our mortal and finite limits prevent us from fully understanding God’s immortality and infinity, we comprehend that the more the Holy Spirit is within us, upon us, and around us, the more God i…

1) Romans 5:20 states that Abraham's faith never wavered. Abraham didn't doubt that God would fulfill His promise. In fact, Abraham's faith grew stronger and stronger, which is a challenge for us. When something doesn't come to pass the way we think it should, we should grow even stronger in our belief. 2) In verse 21, it states He was fully convin…

Dave delves into a deliberate discourse on the paradox of reflecting on the past while striving to progress. This reflection comes after engaging with his book. In the midst of producing an audiobook for “Broken for His Glory,” David addresses the theme of advancing beyond suffering. A common pitfall is to dwell excessively on the past, idealizing …

1) We continue in Genesis, Chapter 4, Verse 18, which begins some genealogical processes. Enoch starts to have children, one of whom is Methuselah, Enoch's grandson, and the person who lives the longest in the entire Bible. Enoch's great-grandson is Lamech, who we will find out is somewhat unpleasant, like, yuck! 2) We learn that Lamech marries two…

A) In this passage, there is a twist. Paul lists these things by the influence of the Holy Spirit, making mention that these people can ALSO enter the doors of the church. So, be aware of these evil characteristics. They are the fruit of false teachers, and of their followers. The outward looks good, but the inward is evil. B) David speaks of the c…

1) It's Friday, time for our DDDDD's. We begin with a classic from Exodus. As we observe the world around us, we call upon the Lord, hoping for a swift response. However, His definition of 'quick' and 'swift' may differ from ours. Yet, we must remember the Biblical truth: God hears us. Even if we perceive His response as slow, He hears us and provi…

A) An interesting turn occurs in this epistle when Job is referenced. Job’s perseverance, viewed through the lens of the New Testament reflecting on the Old Testament, is noteworthy. From Chapter 3 to Chapter 31, Job’s attitude was to stand before God and have his moment. He didn’t quit; he challenged. Although he was out of his league, he was at l…

1) As we delve deeper into the Book of Acts, we find ourselves at chapter 26, verse 15, where Paul reviews his testimony about his encounter with Jesus. It's important to understand that scripture is a record of humanity's encounters with God. I've shared my own testimony over 100 times, and each time, the emphasis varies based on the context. This…

A) The purpose of these references is to underscore that the Lord God is coming to pass judgment, and He will execute that judgment on everyone. There are two major points to note: firstly, the Lord is coming, and He is on His way, regardless of whether you believe He is or not. He will come collectively, but before that, He will come for individua…

1) Christianity is replete with profound principles and transformative encounters. We are truly blessed and should acknowledge that many events in our lives are designed to foster a partnership with God. This partnership is evident in how God conveyed the Bible through humans, how He communicates His message to people, and how we live our daily liv…

A) In Psalm 51:11, David pleads, “Do not cast me away from your presence.” This thought is profoundly dramatic. To be cast away from God’s presence equates to being in hell, denied the privilege of being in the presence of our Creator. This is indeed a form of destruction. It’s not merely a theological declaration, but a passionate desire of David’…

1) At the core of Romans 4:18 is Abraham's response to God's promise that he would become the father of many nations. Abraham believed God, and this response is how we need to engage with God on a daily basis. When God communicates something to us through His word, we need to believe Him. 2) The next portion of the verse is mind-blowing. We are enc…

A) In Matthew 18:1, Jesus clarifies to His disciples that the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven is likely not one of them. The disciples audaciously ask, “Which of us is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” This question is astonishing, as they seem to believe that one of the twelve could be on par with figures such as Moses or Abraham. But past…
