Grocery Pickup and Chapped Lips | Money 33:52

33:52

How do we become a believer who is a slave to money? It doesn’t happen overnight. It doesn’t happen even for lack of financial education or econmic understanding. It doesn’t happen for lack of budget or even because you bought a nice car or a big fancy house. It happens because of sin in our hearts, growing and taking root. Discontentment. Lack of thankfulness. Laziness. Greed. Selfishness. Lack of trust in God. Putting our trust in the temporal - in the earthly, instead of in Christ. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus established the standard of the law and taught His disciples a vital principle: no one can serve two masters. To think otherwise is to deceive ourselves. Join Elizabeth Giles and Monika Walker as they look at money through a biblical lens. ________________________ When this is the day you want what you want and you want it now - remember that you are a slave to Christ, not to Jeff Bezos. Put off whatever sins of the heart have you longing for the earthly goods, renew your mind with scripture, and put on contentment. 1 Timothy 6:9–10 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. ________________________ Resources: The Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis Our Etsy Shop!

Sanctification is becoming more like Christ, but it isn’t something we can do on our own. We are sinners by nature, so sanctification starts with humility. We must have a heart that longs to obey God, and slowly, over times, we will grow more and more like the one we were created in the image of. There isn’t a nook in our souls that we want to keep for ourselves. What does sanctification look like in the lives of first world women? Join Elizabeth and Monika and they dicuss the dotrine of sanctification. ________________________ When this is the day you feel like everyone is growing in sanctification except for you, don't let discouragment take over. That only leads to naval gazing, an inward focus doesn’t help us shake off those feelings. There’s nothing good in me apart from Christ, so what good can it do me to stare at myself? We become what we behold. When we just look at our sin, and focus on our discouragement over it, we find ourselves perpetuating that sin again! And then growing in greater discouragement! And then continuing that sin we hate so much, even more! And growing in greater discouragement! Instead, behold the Lord. Study who he is. His goodness, his mercy, his holiness, his righteousness. Study scripture and look to the cross - your sins were already paid for and what Jesus did was enough. ________________________ Resources: The Treasure of David by Charles Spurgeon . This excellent, three volume set of commentaries on the Psalms. Each and every Psalm discussed with lots of quotes and commentary from other well known teachers all in one place. Such rich theology and teaching of the Psalms. The sermon titled “ The Common Problem of Practical Atheism ” by one of our pastors, Josh Oedy. He taught on James 4:13-17 and sinful presumption, living as though God isn’t there, like he isn’t constantly in control and at work in our world and our lives. It’s convicting and ecouraging - a must listen for anyone going through a trial or challenging time in their life. ________________________ This Is The Day Rejoice Website Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest ________________________ We want everyone to have a free, printable bookmark, to help you spend more time rightly seeking to understand God's Word.

Idols Made of LVP 33:22

33:22

Idol factories. An idol is ANYTHING - aaaaanything - that captures our hearts, our time, our attention, our minds, more than God. It can even be a GOOD thing! That’s what makes us so prone to churning out little idols in our hearts and minds. Fear, safety, health, finances, relationships, friendships, work, hobbies, family, the idols just keep on coming, and before we’ve even considered it a sin, we’ve already committed treason against a righteous and holy God. Rack, Shack and Benny had the right idea - bowing only to Christ. Join us as we learn from them today. ________________________ When this is the day you find yourself creating idols in your heart, repent! We are Christs. We belong to him. We are joyfully slaves to him. We do not have to be slaves to our fears, consumed by idols, distracted by things of this world. ________________________ Resources: Gospel Treason by Brad Bigney. This is a great book to help you examine your heart, hunting for those idols. But within this book there is an encouraging focus on the gospel at just the point when you feel there is not hope it making those idols topple Buddy Davis He’s home with the Lord now, but he was a singer, song writer, author, adventurer, paleo-artist, and teacher with Answers in Genesis.

Rage Rooms and Pillow Fights | Anger 33:40

for ca. et år siden33:40

33:40

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. Anger is the same, yet we try to sweep away the sin by giving it other names. Righteous anger nearly always gives way to sinful anger, within seconds. Anger is the result of sinful desires, ruling our hearts. What are we to do with the feeling? How do we contain it, eradicate it, mortify it? Meditation and yoga? The world has tons of advice in managing it, but the Bible tells us to “put to death the practices of the body” so that we might live (Romans 8:13) - that’s telling us to eradicate the sin completely, not just manage the expression of it. Join Elizabeth and Monika as they explore anger, through a bible lens. ________________________ When this is the day you’re mad (annoyed, irritated, disappointed, frustrated, etc), don’t take the worldly advice of meditation and yoga. Instead, meditate on scripture. Meditate on the merciful God who saved a sinner like you. Instead of doing downard dog in yoga, put on the posture of prayer. Get on your knees. Close your eyes. And go before the Lord in praise and supplicaiton, bringing him all your requests, and laying your sins at his feet, seeking forgiveness, renewing your mind with his truth, and asking him to give you the strength to put on new habits of joy, contentedness, and patience. ________________________ Resources: ANGER, ANXIETY AND FEAR: A Biblical Perspective by Stuart Scott Anger: Calming Your Heart by Robert D.

Pesky Little Scriptures | Marriage 33:36

for ca. et år siden33:36

33:36

Nobody likes being bossed around, especially a wife! Those pesky little scriptures in James and Colossians that tell wives to submit to their husbands are outdated and meant to roll your eyes at and ignore. At least, that's what our culture tells us. And even wives who faithfully adhere to the accuracy and sufficiency of scripture can struggle with the command to submit to a sinful husband, even more so if their husband is unsaved or unkind. Join Elizabeth and Monika as they explore the often challenging, but always righteous command, of submitting to one's own husband. James 4:7a - Submit yourselves therefore to God. Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. ________________________ When this is the day you consider yourself a wife who submits because you would never make a big decision without your husband's consent, prayerfully examine your daily conversations and the position of your heart. You might be surprised. ________________________ What's Good: “I have learned to kiss the waves that throw me up against the Rock of Ages.” Charles Spurgeon When Sinners Say I Do by Dave Harvey ________________________ This Is The Day Rejoice Website Facebook | Instagram ________________________ We want everyone to have a free, printable bookmark, to help you spend more time rightly seeking to understand God's Word.

The Star of Bethlehem, wisemen ruining nativity scenes, Santa Claus, and that nasty Herod the Great: Elizabeth and Monika answer listener questions about Christmas and chat about just a few of the traditions that have gone awry, biblical tradition in historical accounts, and other holly jolly related points. ________________________ When this is the day … you want to encourage your child to believe in Santa Claus, consider how they will distinguish between the truth of an unseen God and the fiction of a god-like Santa Claus with similar attributes. The fact is, you can’t encourage a lie as truth, without the truth being taken for a lie. ________________________ Resources: Resources: God in the Manger by John Macarthur Manger in Danger (A better swap for Elf on the Shelf) ________________________ We will be breaking through January, and return to you in February 2025, as we view more of our everyday chaos through a biblical lens! ________________________ This Is The Day Rejoice Website Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest ________________________ We want everyone to have a free, printable bookmark, to help you spend more time rightly seeking to understand God's Word.

Napkin Sermons | Discipleship 31:10

31:10

The pastors who scribble down a sermon on a napkin, should toss that sucker where it belongs: in the trash. The teaching on Sunday is our first line of discipleship, which means the church you attend is critically important. But what happens after the Sunday sermon? The discipleship must continue. So how do you go about it? ________________________ When this is the day you’re waiting around for someone to ask you to disciple them, don’t. Ask an elder or a deacon to connect you with someone. Ask around. Ask someone you’ve connected with if they’re being discipled. If they have someone else in mind to disciple them, help connect them! This isn't dating. It's discipleship. Rejection don't matter. Obedience to the command to disciple others, matters. ________________________ Resources: Songs of Suffering: 25 Hymns and Devotions for Weary Souls by Joni Eareckson Tada The Heart of Anger: Practical Help for the Prevention and Cure of Anger in Children by Lou Priolo ________________________ This Is The Day Rejoice Website Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest ________________________ We want everyone to have a free, printable bookmark, to help you spend more time rightly seeking to understand God's Word.

Spot the Fake with Michelle Lesley 36:59

Discernment isn’t just about figuring out what’s true and what’s not. Some things are so clear and super easy to spot. But what takes true discernment, is knowing the difference between what’s right, and what’s not quite right. Michelle Lesley of A Word Fitly Spoken podcast joins us for this episode, as we discuss how to discern a false teachers and grow in discernment. The word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. - that’s Hebrews 4:12 ________________________ When this is the day you don’t know what names can be trusted, when you don’t know which teachers, authors, and speakers, should be on a “red flag list” or if the very book you’re reading is full of sound, biblical truth - go to God’s word. Study it more than you study anything else. EVER. Memorize the scriptures so the truth is already at your finger tips. Go to your pastor or elders and ask them. Shepherding you to truth is one of their great joys AND gifts. ________________________ Resources: Michelle Lesley Website Popular False Teachers and Unbiblical Trends A Word Fitly Spoken The Gospel Call and True Conversion by Paul Washer Justin Peters Ministeries ________________________ This Is The Day Rejoice Website Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest ________________________ We want everyone to have a free, printable bookmark, to help you spend more time rightly seeking to understand God's Word.

Why does it sound like Elizabeth just called Monika an “older woman”? Welp, that was not intended—because that cutie pie is far too young for that phrase. What a terrible friend! (hehe) And yet, we invite you to listen and learn with both of them about what it means to be a friend. That starts with love, which is both defined and modeled by Christ. If you’re a gold-star listener who heard this episode in Season 1, we gave that original episode the ol’ heave-ho and recorded it again with our "more seasoned" podcasting abilities. We hope you enjoy it! ________________________ When this is the day you’re feeling lonely, left out, or wishing for more friends, quiet those melancholy voices and start preaching truth to yourself instead of listening to yourself. Remember, you are here to serve and love others—not to be served. Instead of wishing you had friends, practice BEING a friend. Practice it by looking beyond our own interests and considering how we can be kind, welcoming, generous, and loving to others, all for the glory of God, trusting that He will faithfully provide friendships in His perfect timing and in His perfect way. ________________________ Resources: Through the Psalms with Pastor Don Green A Word Fitly Spoken Podcast with Michelle Lesley and Amy Spreeman ________________________ This Is The Day Rejoice Website Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest ________________________ We want everyone to have a free, printable bookmark, to help you spend more time rightly seeking to understand God's Word.

Murders that happen here don't get solved 30:18

Discipleship is kinda like being someone’s Google Maps for life. You help them navigate the twists and turns, giving guidance when they’re feeling lost, and cheering for them every time they "arrive." You’re their go-to for directions, but they’re the one doing the driving. In a believer's life, both discipling and being discipled is an ongoing occurence, and it's not just suggested that we go about it, but commanded by the God we serve. ________________________ When this is the day you're feeling lost, frustrated, or like you're just spinning your wheels, look at who you are imitating. Paul tells us to imitate him, as he imitates Christ. Are you following closley, one who is closely following Christ? Consider also, who is watching and following you. ________________________ Resources: " Let us Run to Jesus Part 1 " taught by Pastor Bret Hastings " Let us Run to Jesus Part 2 " taught by Pastor Bret Hastings This is an excellent series to instruct us on how to run our race of faith.

Chaotic. Exhausting. Heartbreaking. Joyful. It’s true that life is hard. But it’s also true that God is good. In fact, God is the very definition of good, which means that even when this fallen world is full of tragedy, heartbreak, illness, death, pain, and your basic run-of-mill bad day, we can rejoice in the hope we have in Christ. Elizabeth and Monika look intently into Psalm 118:17-24 to see just why - and HOW - we can rejoice in the midst of sorrow, pain, and trials. ________________________ When this is the day you are experiencing chaos of any kind, remember to filter it through a biblical lens.

Cappuccino, smoke machines, skinny jeans, high top sneakers, rock concerts every Sunday, and the hippest slang woven into a motivational speech, where the "communicator" reads a verse or two from the New Living Translation in the midst of his motivational speech: that's the stuff crummy churches are made of. We're chatting about these churches, how to avoid them, and what God tells us a church should be in his never changing Word. ________________________ When this is the day you are examining your church and find that the pomp and circumstance points to the glory of man, that the pastor is more of a motivational speaker and less of a teacher, that the seats are filled with unrepentant sinners, (not just sinners - but UNREPENTANT SINNERS), leave that church. There is no reason to stay under unfaithful teaching. When this is the day you know your church is pastored by faithful men who rightly teach the word of God, thank the Lord for that. And pray for them continuously. ________________________ Resources: Pillar of Truth Podcast by Pastor-Teacher Travis Allen ________________________ This Is The Day Rejoice Website Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest ________________________ We want everyone to have a free, printable bookmark, to help you spend more time rightly seeking to understand God's Word.
