Moment with MarandaRight or Righteous?Today's podcast asks the question: Would I rather be RIGHT or RIGHTEOUS? Together, we will go to the mirror of the Word of GOD and explore the meaning of Righteous Judgment as opposed to passing Judgment, and HOW we as Believers are to judge and yet not judge???? It should be a fun moment as we gaze into the Word together!

In His power and sovereignty, knowing how terribly wrong free choice COULD go, God gave it ANYWAY because HE is love and love gives. Such a value, He places on personal choice, that HE will NOT violate it, even when HE KNOWS what the consequences will be, not just for the one making the choice, but those who will suffer as a result. This truth can be a tough pill to swallow OR...2023-04-1927 minMoment with MarandaAntichrist Revealed!For years, there have been countless questions and ideas surrounding the coming of the antichrist, the new order he will establish, the kingdom he will set up and ultimately, his own claim to being god. We have tried to prepare for the coming deception, but are also aware that the spirit of antichrist has been alive in every generation. In 1 John 2:18, we read, "Little Children, it is the last time, and as you have heard that antichrist will come, even now there are many antichrists; this is how we know we are in the last days."

Where's My Glasses?In Luke 4:18, Jesus was reading from the Scriptures, Isaiah's prophesy saying, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to preach the good news to the poor, deliverance to the captive, recovery of sight to the blind, liberty for the broken: the acceptable year of the Lord." He said, "THIS day, the Scripture is fulfilled in your ears."
All that Israel had been longing for, the promise of release and repossession of the land, as in the year of Jubilee, the coming of the Messiah to bring His Kingdom, stood before them, and they couldn't SEE. Their...2023-03-2928 min

What was in the mind of God when He took a look at the dust of the earth? Surely, He must have seen MORE than just dirt, but a living soul, and NOT just any living soul, like all of the animals of creation, but one that He had the intention of making look like Him. It wasn't Adam's physical form that would look like God, it was what would be breathed into him, not air...2023-03-1529 min

2023-02-2829 minMoment with MarandaA Refined Life"The Lord knows my way, and when He has tried me, I will come forth as gold." These words of faith from a man called Job give testimony to a life of worship. Did he know he was worshipping as he questioned? As he lost loved ones? As he struggled with sickness? Did he know that EVEN then, there was a refining process taking place, not to kill him, but to glorify God?
This week's Moment looks at how the days of Job, the instruments in the Temple, and OUR everyday lives tie together to form a pic...2023-02-1531 minMoment with MarandaCertain in UncertaintyHow can we have certainty in these UNCERTAIN and ever changing times? Maybe YOU can identify with the desire to hold on to SOMETHING so you can have a SURE thing and have found that your "sure thing" hasn't been so sure at all. If that's YOU, this moment is for you today as together we look to the mirror of the Word of GOD to discover where WE can anchor down for Certainty in Uncertain times.

Freedom from our past and freedom in our present. WE are FREE to BE. This week, we look more closely at a woman in the Bible who had an issue and a man who had a life long identity. When Jesus came to them, they were both offered Freedom, not just freedom from sickness, but FREEDOM from the LIFE they once KNEW...a FREEDOM to BE just who HE said THEY could BE. Both received His gift of freedom, perhaps you and I will TOO!

It is a two-fold promise, not only eternal life but life NOW, filled and full to overflowing. It has been paid for and given to us for our taking, and yet, there is an enemy of our souls that would try to keep us from receiving it in every moment. The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, and BY FAITH, we get to agree with what HE said and...2023-01-1855 minMoment with MarandaLove is Love????"Love is Love" is a new phrase sweeping its way across our culture from the subtleties of language in TV shows and movies to the blatant displays across our screens and advertising. Everyone is invited to love their own way and on their own terms. "You do you, BOO!"
But as followers of Christ, is this consistent with what we have learned of Christ? The Scripture tells us that as we have received, we should walk IN HIM; in Him rooted and built up. According to HIS WORD, Love is not love...GOD is LOVE and true lov...2023-01-1157 min
