Your Life Should be Walking

June 25, 2023

 


But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Galatians 5:16 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Galatians 5:22 

And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians 5:24

In order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:4 

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. As I warned you before, I warn you that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21 

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide a way of escape, so that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

June 14, 2023
                     

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 18 – "Dwelling Place"
In this episode, Trey Knowles explores the concept of a dwelling place—not just where you physically live, but what you allow to dwell within you. Your dwelling place shapes your peace, direction, and ultimately your life. Trey emphasizes that obedience to God is where we are called to live; it is the spiritual home that brings life. According to him, we all face a choice: to dwell in life through Jesus, or to dwell in death by living contrary to His ways. Jesus Himself says in John 14:15, “If you love me, keep my commands.” This episode challenges listeners to reflect on where—and how—they truly live.



What are Idols?

June 14, 2023


False Idols- An idol can be a person or thing that is greatly admired, loved, or revered that is the opposite of what God truly represents in his word. Idols can also be an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship.  

What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people. 2 Corinthians 6:16

Dedicated

June 07, 2023

Dedicated- (of a person) devoted to a task or purpose; having single-minded loyalty or integrity

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. Matthew 6:24 

 "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it" Matthew 10:37-39

June 07, 2023

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 17 – "Who is My Brother?"
Episode 17 – "Who is My Brother?" features guest speaker Scott South, who explores the idea that our true brothers and sisters are those who do the will of God. Referencing Matthew 12:46–50, the episode reflects on a moment when Jesus, while speaking to a crowd, is told that His mother and brothers are outside wanting to talk to Him. Jesus responds by asking, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Then, pointing to His disciples, He answers, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” This powerful passage highlights the spiritual family formed through obedience to God's will.

I'd Rather Be A Slave - Truth & Knowledge

June 02, 2023

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 16 – "I'd Rather Be a Slave" In this episode, Trey Knowles expresses a powerful conviction: he would rather be a slave to righteousness than to evil. He reflects on the reality that true freedom doesn’t come from following our own will, but from surrendering to a greater purpose. Trey acknowledges that without obedience, there is no direction—and we cannot rightly guide ourselves. We were not created to live without a Master. We need a Master who gives life, who is life—our Father in heaven. As Scripture says in Romans 7:25, “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.” As followers of Christ, we are called to live as obedient children—not conforming to the evil desires of our past, but pursuing holiness. “Be holy, because I am holy,” for the one who called us is holy.




Free From Slavery

June 02, 2023




For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1

Trusting the Trustee - Truth & Knowledge

May 26, 2023


Truth & Knowledge – Episode 15: "Trusting the Trustee": In this episode, Trey Knowles explores the root of trust issues—highlighting a lack of patience and accountability. He explains that true trust requires surrendering your own will. But who are you surrendering it to? The one who loves you. Trust is defined as having confidence, faith, or hope in someone or something. Surrendering your will means choosing to listen, believe, and act based on that trust. It’s the willingness to follow the guidance of the Trustee—the one entrusted with your care. Before you can surrender, you must first recognize your own need: that you are vulnerable, poor in spirit, and in need of help. If you fail to see your need and rely only on your own wisdom, you fall short of true trust. A Trustee has a legal obligation to protect and care for the vulnerable—because love always protects. In spiritual terms, Jesus is the ultimate Trustee. Trusting in Him means placing your faith and confidence in His love, guidance, and protection. "Trust is having confidence, faith, or hope in someone or something. Trust in Jesus."

Have Mercy - Truth & Knowledge

May 18, 2023

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 14 – "Have Mercy": In this episode, Trey Knowles teaches the importance of having mercy—both for ourselves and for others. Mercy means showing compassion and forgiveness for mistakes, while its opposite, malice, involves harboring ill will or wishing harm, even towards oneself. Choosing mercy over malice is essential, as malice reflects a desire to do evil, which contradicts the nature of love. Love does not take pleasure in wrongdoing, nor does it hold past faults against anyone. Ask yourself: Do you live with mercy, or with malice? Trey highlights Jesus' words in Matthew 9:13: "But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." This episode calls listeners to reflect on their hearts and choose mercy—the true expression of love.

Guns And Wisdom - Truth & Knowledge

April 29, 2023


Truth & Knowledge – Episode 12: "Guns and Wisdom" In this episode, Trey Knowles explores the concept of guns through a spiritual lens, emphasizing that a gun is inherently a weapon of destruction, not a giver of life. Its purpose is to end existence through harm or force. Knowles challenges listeners to reflect on what they consider admirable and how those values align with a heart rooted in love. He argues that if one lives according to the Spirit of Love, a gun cannot be seen as admirable or praiseworthy. The desire for such a weapon contradicts the principles of love and peace. Referencing Matthew 10:28, Knowles reminds us to fear not those who can harm the body, but to revere God, who holds power over both body and soul. He further supports his message with teachings from Romans 12, urging listeners not to repay evil with evil but to live honorably and peacefully. Vengeance belongs to God, not man. Instead, we are called to respond to enemies with compassion—feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty—and to overcome evil with good. The episode calls for a deep examination of how our values align with divine love and urges a rejection of violence in favor of peace and spiritual wisdom.
