b'When God said, “Don’t do this and don’t do that…” He said it for our good. \\xa0It is imperative that we learn and apply the Word of God. \\xa0Don’t just take my word for it… go to the Bible yourself and check it out!

\\nDare to Be a Daniel: Talking to Your Kids About Standing for The Lord – This is startlingly new territory for parents: explaining why a man is being celebrated as a woman on the cover of a magazine is not something we’re used to talking about. Here’s the thing: If we don’t set a place for the truth of Scripture at the table of our children’s hearts, the world will set out a feast all it’s own.
\\nWhat Are We Like When No One Else is Watching? -Are we growing in our walk with God? Today, we’re talking about a “big” word … sanctification. It’s a big word that means a simple thing: grow. \\xa0Grow. As Christians, we’re called to live\\xa0set apart lives\\u2014no matter who’s watching.

\\nFool’s Gold?: Discerning Truth in an Age of Error\\xa0edited by Dr. John MacArthur
\\nIn an age of open-mindedness, many believers accept too much with too little discernment, resulting in great confusion and compromise. But God’s Word makes it clear that not everything that glitters is gold. False teaching is at every turn, and the temptation to embrace it is great. As God’s people we are called to sift through the overwhelming number of traditions and trends and use the truth of Scripture to determine which are the true treasures-and which are “fool’s gold.”
\\nGeneral editor John MacArthur and the contributors of this uncompromising book define the principles of biblical discernment and use them to address several contemporary Christian issues. They provide straightforward, biblical critiques of some popular but unfortunate Christian trends, such as watered-down preaching and doctrinally questionable best-selling books. Dr. MacArthur ends with a practical plan for cultivating discernment in the Christian life.
\\nIt is the duty of every Christian-not just pastors and elders-to follow the biblical command to cling to what is good and to reject what is not.\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heidistjohn/message'
