6/15/2013 – “Men: don’t be deceived—knowing is not doing!” – Shane Idleman
A young Podcast listener recently wrote, “My dad is so self-absorbed that he doesn’t notice that we are dying spiritually, relationally, and emotionally. He acts like we are an inconvenience, and is very disrespectful to my mother. At church, he says all the right things, but at home he’s yelling, gone, or too tired to spend any time with us. I just want my dad back.” … Continue reading

6/1/2013 – “Our Only Hope—A Mighty Move Of God’s Spirit”
The need to address revival and the vital role of the Holy Spirit is as relevant today as it has been throughout church history. As America falls deeper into depravity and further from God, the need to be awakened from our spiritual slumber has never been greater. Our only hope is a mighty move of God’s Spirit…a revival of the spiritual condition of His people. But George D. Watson cautions, “The true saints of God, who have clear heads, and pure, warm hearts, have in all generations had to walk between the two extremes of cold formality on the one side, and wild, ranting fanaticism on the other. Dead formality and the false fire of fanaticism are both Satan’s counterfeits, and he does not care into which extreme the soul plunges, just so he can prevent it from having that scriptural type of holiness which is ‘full of faith,’ and ‘full of the Holy Spirit,’ and ‘full of wisdom,’ and of a ‘sound mind’.”… Continue reading

5/18/2013 – The Truth About Repentance Will Set You Free – Pastor Shane Idleman
“You can be certain that at the forefront of every significant recovery from backsliding…the doctrine of repentance has been among the precious truths that God has quickened and used” (Richard Owen Roberts).
Believe it or not, many Christian leaders are seeking to remove the word “repent.” Apparently, we need to rethink our narrow view of the gospel and our restricted view of Biblical hermeneutics, so they say. Their rescripting seems ridiculous, but it’s true. They argue that “repentance” may not actually mean what we think. In reality, it’s no surprise that they take this position—in order for Christianity to appear palatable and less intrusive to our culture, many feel that we need to rethink, redefine, and rename difficult truths, including repentance…

5/11/2013 – How can we avoid counterfeits and false teachers? – Pastor Shane Idleman
Although disheartening, society’s trend away from God’s Word and absolute truth is not surprising. The apostle Paul warned of this many years ago: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine (God’s Word), but according to their own desires … they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables” (2 Timothy 4:3-4)… Continue reading
