Verse-By-Verse Ministry With Heather Darnall

In a world that is evident to be falling a part, many wonder how it ever got to this state to begin with, just scratching their heads and wondering if God is really in control or not, especially with such evil being vamped up. As we all know, everything has a beginning and an end, and so in this episode, we're going to discuss the beginning of everything that was never intended to happen which comes from the Gospel of Matthew 4:1-11.

It should come to no surprise that judging is still a major issue people deal with today. And what we don't like to admit is, that we tend to feel like we're not guilty - or as guilty - as everyone else...as if that makes us better than the next person, therefore we don't really need addressing, or fixing rather.
In this episode, I'm going to get into the weeds concerning one of the things Jesus talked about in His sermon on the mount, which is judging - and will read from the Gospel of Matthew 7:1-6. Because far too often, we take what He said and put it into our own desired interpretation, i.e. our human opinion. Therefore, we misrepresent our King and any misrepresentation is all that the devil desires to keep us away from Jesus and continue to struggle in our sin. That being said, it's in all of our best interest to see if we can adhere to this artful skill that so many look down on, when sadly, we don't fully understand that judging itself is not the problem - we are.

Today's society and culture is really no different than when Jesus was here or even before! And one of the problems Jesus addressed was judging - in which this episode goes in-depth discussing the Gospel of Matthew, 7:1-6 - and unfortunately is something we all still struggle with regardless if it's just a thought in our head or boldly shouted at our lungs capacity. Moreover, the biggest issue He addressed, was not necessarily the fact that we judge, it's the way that we judge, and how we tend to deny that we judge at all! So this message is something to dive deeper into the context of what Jesus was saying and how it can be done appropriately. In other words, due to the touchy nature of the topic, there is an art to judging.
That said, it's in all of our best interest to see if we can adhere to this artful skill that so many look down on when sadly they don't fully understand that judging is not the problem - WE ARE.

Today's society and culture centers around "spirituality," however, many are deceived on it being a good thing, or something needed for peaceful living among other things. While living peaceful sounds like common sense and the right thing to do for a number of reasons, we often misunderstand the playing fields and and fall into a deadly trap of various activities we think are fine, fun, even innocent. These typically include common practices such as horoscopes, astrology, crystals, etc. leaving the urgency for us to stop and ask ourselves if our spiritual awareness is legit or a sham.

FYI - the very last couple of minutes you may notice my voice improved...it did....I couldn't finish the last few minutes unfortunately because my voice was getting irritated since I was still not 100% so I waited until I got well to finish it off.

In today's modern era, people are so hung up on facts, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but more often than not, many wrongly resort to the Bible to use as a debate book so they can prove themselves as right, or being smarter than another, totally dismissing the fact that the Bible has one specific use only - to draw closer to our Almighty God by learning the sinful nature of our hearts, the importance of repentance, and moreover, that our salvation awaits us when we give our lives to Jesus.
In this episode, I want to address one conspiracy theory which is that some people believe that the Bible teaches a flat earth by compiling various/random verses that have been used to present their argument as fact. When little do they know, the scripture they're pulling or using, is far from what they think it means. That being said is why I start off by discussing some history regarding the Bible, so that when I discuss these hand-selected verses, or break them down, it's much easier to see God's truth and meaning revealed - as in the spiritual interpretation, not what we think our human opinion about them means. Moreover, to be warned that there are consequences when we take the Holy and Divine Word of God, and intentionally redefine/twist what He gave us that is ultimately used to change our lives.
