Speaking4Him Podcast #707: The Importance of Christian Fellowship: A Bryton Flint Tribute

 “And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

And all that believed were together, and had all things common;  And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”

Acts 2:42-47

Bryton Flint

Today on the show, my co-host James Wisneski and I pay tribute to our dear friend Bryton Flint, who left us far too soon. His unexpected passing serves as a reminder of the importance of quality Christian fellowship. We are not meant to go through life alone; we are designed to thrive within a vibrant Christian community where we can support one another and share each other's burdens. 

Listen Here as we explore the four pillars of Christian fellowship, which include discipleship, accountability, fellowship, and community. We encourage you to seek out a community where you can receive these vital elements and, in turn, offer them to others.

We miss you, Bryton, and we are keeping your family in our prayers. 

Note: Due to the sensitive subject matter, we recommend using discretion when listening to this episode with children under the age of 15.

Culture Watch #131:NEW DETAILS: Trump threatens 'BLOWING EVERYTHING UP' if deal with Iran isn't reached

  "On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,

the emblem of suffering and shame;

and I love that old cross where the dearest and best

for a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain:

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

till my trophies at last I lay down;

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

and exchange it some day for a crown."

Culture Watch #130: 'KILL YOUR LOCAL ICE AGENT': 'No Kings' protesters display violent rhetoric

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords." Revelation 19:11-16

Speaking4Him Podcast #703: David Rodgers: Musings on Ministry: Part 2

 “For the gospel is the one great permanent circumstance in which I live and move; and every hardship in my life is allowed by God only because it serves His gospel purposes in me. When I view my circumstances in this light, I realize that the gospel is not just one piece of good news that fits into my life somewhere among all the bad. I realize instead that the gospel makes genuinely good news out of every other aspect of my life, including my severest trials.”

Speaking4Him Podcast #701: Speaking The Truth in Love Part 3

 “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:”
