Speaking4Him Podcast #591: The State of Life (2024)

 “The fetus, though enclosed in the womb of its mother, is already a human being and it is a monstrous crime to rob it of the life which it has not yet begun to enjoy. If it seems more horrible to kill a man in his own house than in a field, because a man’s house is his place of most secure refuge, it ought surely to be deemed more atrocious to destroy a fetus in the womb before it has come to light.” — John Calvin, French Theologian, Pastor, and Reformer

ncfamily.org

It's been 51 years since Roe V. Wade legalized abortion in all 50 states, but the recent Dobbs V. Jackson ruling in June 2022 has completely changed the landscape of abortion across the country. On today's show, I take a closer look at where the pro-life movement stands after this shakeup.

Speaking4Him Podcast #585: It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)

 “Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?” ― It's a Wonderful Life

bedfordplayhouse.org

In today's episode, I review the classic movie 'It's a Wonderful Life'. When it was first released, it didn't do well despite receiving several Oscar nominations. However, it became a classic after entering the public domain in the 1970s, and it has had a profound impact on me throughout my life. 

The movie reminds us that every life is important and encourages us to ask God how we can use our lives to impact those around us. So, Listen Here, and let's explore this timeless classic together!

Speaking4Him Podcast #584: My Christmas Hero (2023)

 “MY CHRISTMAS HERO is a powerful Christmas drama laced with many lighthearted moments. There are many great scenes honoring sacrifice, heroism, helping others, hope, and love. There are a few scenes referring to the Nativity Story, including mentioning the importance of Christ’s birth and sacrifice for human beings. Several heartrending scenes show the sacrifices and heroism that American servicemen have made for the country and the people in it. In addition, MY CHRISTMAS HERO extols the power that successful American businesses have to make life better for the community and people around them.” Movie Guide

greatamericanfamily.com

On today's show, I share my review of the latest Candace Cameron Bure movie on Great American Family, My Christmas Hero. This heartwarming and honest film highlights the service and sacrifice of our troops and reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. The well-told story is sure to bring both smiles and tears to viewers. It also reminds us that redemption came to us through the birth of Jesus Christ, who was born to go to the cross and save us.

Speaking4Him Podcast #582: Myth VS. Truth: Myth #7: Believing in Jesus is all that matters

 “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”

  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.” Hebrews 12:1-3
