Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is Abortion Pill Reversal? Has the Abortion Kill Pill become our nations preferred manner for killing babies?

Is the Abortion Kill Pill effective 100% of the time? Is the Abortion REVERSAL Pill effective 100% of the time?

Is the lawsuit an attempt to silence pro-life pregnancy centers and organizations? Are other liberal states following Californias lead?

Commercials showing starving and dying puppies are allowed to be aired on national television. Would the same commercials be permitted of babies being abortion by an Abortion Kill Pill?

Is abortion just a political issue – or is it a spiritual issue? Reverend James Harden becomes very emotional answering this question.

EVERY BODY, SOME BODY, ANY BODY, AND NO BODY

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

If everybody expects somebody to do something, nobody will to it and it will not get done.

Terry Lowry, host of The What’s Up Radio Program encourages everyone to pick one thing and do it. Pray, encourage, promote, volunteer..... anything, just pick something and do it.

BE STILL AND KNOW

Discussed by Dr. David Capes
with Lanier Theological Library (www.LanierTheologicalLibrary.org)

Day 5

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD “STILL”? WHAT DOES “ME TIME” LOOK LIKE TO YOU? DO YOU EVER JUST SIT IN THE PRESENCE ON THE LORD AND LISTEN?

It’s summer time and that means special lessons from various guests for the Biblical Literacy Lesson from Champion Forest Baptist Church. The series is featuring various Scripture passages that are familiar, but the presenter will be teaching it in a brand-new light.

This week, Dr. David Capes discusses Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God.”

Dr. Capes is the Director of Academic Programming at the Lanier Theological Library.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

NOTE: Dr. Capes urges us to listen to this final segment with an open heart and open mind.

Who does God speak to? Who can hear His voice? When He says to be still, who is He talking to – someone who is calm, cool, and collected or someone who is in turmoil and trouble?

What are you holding on to? What has a grip on you? Dr. Capes closes the lesson reading Psalm 46 again, giving some commentary as he reads and reminding us that the end of the Psalm doesn’t end with stillness; it ends with God being exalted.

POINTS FOR HOME

Take care of yourself. Do something for you. This isn’t selfish! This is self-care.

Remember that God is your refuge and strength – always. Lean on Him.

Stop being afraid of the unknown! God is with you.

Let go and let God. He’s got it, so don’t worry.

LIFE LESSONS

Discussed by General Doug Carver
with Special Guest

Day 5

LIFE IS FULL OF DISAPPOINTMENTS AND HARDSHIPS. SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO FIND THE STRENGTH TO GO ON – LET ALONE THE JOY TO PRAISE GOD THROUGH THE TEARS.

This week, very special guest General Doug Carver presents the sermon from Champion Forest Baptist Church. General Carver is the Chief of Chaplains for the United States Army and he definitely has some harrowing stories to tell. But, through every story, there is courage, strength, and joy found in Jesus.

Scripture Passage: Joshua 1:1-9

 If you have questions about a sermon, please contact Champion Forest at questions@cfbc.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Why is it so hard for us to praise God in the midst of tragedy? General Doug Carver shares about one of his most challenging assignments as a Chaplain in the US Army. He remembers August 30, 2010, when a fellow chaplain was killed in action.

Did Jesus warn us that we would experience hardships? Did he know that his assignment was to take those hardships upon himself?

General Carver closes the sermon with one final story that was absolutely tragic for the soldier involved. How did he survive?

FINAL THOUGHTS

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Heavenly Father,

Be ever-present in the lives of your saints today. Help us to clearly see the wonders of your creation.

The evil one intends to cloud our thoughts and keep us from praising you, Lord. He is constantly working to lead us astray.

Plant our feet on the narrow path. Direct our steps while we set our minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

Make our paths straight, Father.

Our help comes from you. Fill our cups with your Holy Spirit.

Grant us peace and strength to walk with you this day.

And, if you grant us tomorrow, let’s repeat.

All for the cause of Christ, in whose name we pray,

Amen
