Wisdom MattersHow can our influence bless others? The Apostle Paul was teaching Timothy to be a leader in the early Christian movement. Timothy was a young man and needed to be careful with his choices so that he could fulfill his calling to the ministry. It has been said that the most significant influences in a person’s life choices occur in their early twenties.Paul gave Timothy advice that all ministers and all Christians should consider. Paul taught Timothy to “have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths.” There were a lot of those myths in the first-century Greco-Roman culture, and th...2025-06-2204 min
Wisdom MattersHow do we know when something is God’s wisdom? “Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.” —James 3:13Yielding to God’s wisdom is spiritual strength.We live in a culture that is impressed with and influenced by success, confidence, and experience. Scripture teaches that yielding to God’s wisdom is spiritual strength. Therefore, as Christians, we should submit all that we know to the One who knows all things. James was writing to his Christian brothers and sisters when he asked, “Wh...2025-05-0103 min
Wisdom MattersWhy do we need Jesus to be our mediator? Jesus took on flesh so he could become a mediator between God and men. God is holy and cannot allow anything unholy to dwell in his heavenly kingdom. Mankind needed Jesus to reconcile the gap between our earthly lives and the eternal lives we will gain in heaven.Sometimes verses like 1 Timothy 2:5 cause us to picture God in an incomplete way. There are countless works of art that portray the wrath of God. There are many verses that describe his reactions to the sins of men. God sent the flood and only Noah and...2025-04-2703 min

UFO - Extraterrestrial RealityThe Very First Flying Saucer Newspaper Report; Also, Was the Falkville "Metal Man" Real or a Hoax?A discussion about the very first newspaper article that featured a report about a flying saucer. While many people believe the description was originally made by Kenneth Arnold in 1947 when describing the nine objects he saw flying over Mount Rainier in Washington, it actually occurred in 1878. The Dallas Herald, on Jan. 25, 1878, ran an article about a saucer-shaped craft seen flying through the sky by Denison, Texas farmer John Martin on Jan. 22, 1878. Also, the 1973 Falkville, Alabama "Metal Man" is discussed. Young Police Chief Jeff Greenhaw responded to a report of a flying saucer on Oct. 17, 1973, and when he arrived on...2025-03-3055 min
Wisdom MattersDo you choose to think about God throughout the day? On average, a human being will have more than six thousand thoughts each day. Paul told Timothy to spend a lot of those thoughts focused on God. Almost everything we need for our lives is reachable from a computer keyboard. In many ways, the internet has replaced our need to think. Our best decisions require more than information. We need to know what God wants us to do with what we know. Wisdom and understanding are difficult to google. God’s leadership and discernment come from our thoughts and prayers. Paul told Timothy, “Think over...2025-02-1002 min
Wisdom MattersDo you choose to invest your life in God’s work? Paul wrote the letter we know as 2 Timothy while confined to a prison he knew would likely lead to his death. These last words to Timothy, his protégé, have always been especially poignant. Paul was writing to Timothy about what he should expect in the “last days” from people who were godless. Paul described them as “always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth” (3:7). He then taught Timothy how to live differently from those who didn’t know God. Paul’s lesson to Timothy can be summed up in this way: “R...2025-02-0503 min
Wisdom MattersDo you know God through his word? We lost some of the potency of Timothy’s verse when we began to consume God’s word from electronic devices. I’m grateful for the ease that technology has provided because the internet helps us find a verse quickly and provides good study helps as well. That said, there is still something powerful about holding a leatherbound Bible, the entire word of God, in our hands.All Scripture, every word of it from Genesis through the Revelation, was “breathed out,” authored by God himself. The Holy Spirit enabled imperfect people to speak and record a p...2025-01-0904 min
Faith Sermons and StudiesMinistry that Lasts Through the Ages Week 2--II Timothy 4:1-5Chesley Sullenberger III was born in Denison, Texas in 1951. As a child, Sullenberger built model planes and aircraft carriers and eventually became interested in flying after seeing military jets at an air force base near where he lived . . .
But you wouldn’t know Sullenberger from those achievements. Upon discharge Sullenberger flew for US Airways from 1980-2010. You might recognize him from his nickname Sully, or from his connection with Flight 1549. . .
Despite the fact that the plane he was flying had lost all power and was left to fall out of...2024-11-1142 min

Peace in PoliticsNavigating Political Disagreements Through a Christ-like Approach to Healthy ConflictIn this episode, we explore the challenging yet crucial topic of engaging in healthy disagreements, particularly in the context of political discussions. Drawing from biblical wisdom in 2 Timothy 2:23-25 and other passages, we examine how Christians can maintain love and respect while addressing differences in political views.Key points discussed:1. The importance of love and humility as foundations for healthy disagreement2. Distinguishing between critiquing ideas and devaluing people3. The role of self-examination and inner work in fostering constructive dialogue4. The danger of pseudo-peace and the value...2024-08-2617 min
Wisdom MattersWhy do faithful, loving families please God? There was a time when families lived close to one another, worked together, knew one another, and knew they were to help one another through this life and until eternal life began. One of the challenges with God’s word is that many of us in this world, especially in American culture, do not live as families lived in the days of Scripture. But Paul’s words to Timothy should still be relied on as spiritual truth. Paul was teaching Timothy that Christians should honor and care for the “widows who are truly widows.”...2024-08-2002 min
Wisdom MattersWhom are we trying to please? Do you see yourself as a soldier in the Lord’s army? The old hymn calls Christian soldiers “onward, marching as to war” and allowing the “cross of Jesus” to be carried “before” us as our banner of identification. That hymn was composed in 1865, and the image of marching into war was keenly understood in that day. When Paul wrote his final letter to his protégé, Timothy, he was likely writing from the Mamertine Prison in Rome. Paul had been arrested, had pleaded for the right to be tried in Rome, and was taken to that cit...2024-08-1503 min

The Daily ArticleJimmy Hoffa is still missing: The power of persistence and privilege of kingdom serviceThe FBI has yet to find the remains of Jimmy Hoffa, who went missing in 1975. But the tenacity with which they continue searching is an illustration of how Christians should be just as persistent in following God's call on our lives—and even more so, since the stakes of our obedience are eternal for us and everyone we influence. In this bonus episode, Dr. Jim Denison looks at 2 Timothy 2 and Paul's clarion call to spiritual perseverance.

Pardon the Mess with Courtney DeFeo - Christian Motherhood, Biblical Parenting, Raising Christian KidsBONUS: Praying Inerrancy Over Our KidsAs we pray inerrancy this week, you may be wondering what in the world that word even means. And, for that matter, why does it matter for our kids? You’re not alone. I think we’ve all had that question. To believe the Bible is inerrant means we believe it is “inspired” and “God-breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16). If that’s the case, then the Bible must be without error and completely trustworthy (2 Timothy 3:16) since God is without sin and cannot lie (Hebrews 6:18). In other words, a perfect God cannot give us his word (the...2020-03-0213 min

Wisdom MattersHow do we teach that Christmas is a holy day, not a holiday? Each year there seems to be a bit more strain between those who want Christmas to be a holiday and those who know Christmas was a holy day. How do we live and work alongside people who want to believe differently than we do? With those who want to insist we believe as they do?Many think that Christians shouldn’t believe we have the only answer. That way of thinking indicates a lack of tolerance. They almost always insist that we believe their tolerance is the only answer, not realizing that they have be...1970-01-0103 min
Wisdom MattersHow can we maintain our gratitude to God? Today’s thoughts are about biblical wisdom that is difficult to believe. Paul wrote Timothy, his protégé, a statement that seems simple and easy to believe—until it isn’t. Paul said, “Everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.”When we first read that verse, we think about the powerful testimony to God we see in our world. The complex simplicity of a newborn baby. The powerful displays of color we see in a beautiful sky or mountainside. The uniqueness of God’s creative gen...1970-01-0104 min

Wisdom MattersWhy is our message essential for everyone? God’s words to the prophet Isaiah would not be considered correct in our culture today.

I’ve used and been blessed by God’s word in many of those ways. God’s word is used today in a variety of ways. Sometimes it’s intended to teach but other times it will threaten or warn.
