In this installment of Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V delve into Genesis Chapter 2,Genesis 3:1-13, and Luke 22:39-53. These scriptures offer insights into handling temptation. We analyze the two gardens and their teachings. Initially, in the Garden of Eden, we witness Adam yielding to the temptation he faced. In contrast, in the Garden of Gethsemane, we observe Jesus’ opposite response as He resisted temptation.
Life consists of a succession of choices. Sometimes, those choices entice us to make decisions that lead to negative outcomes. Often, our decisions have a direct impact on those around us. Therefore, upon examining the aforementioned texts, we can observe the significant influence that Adam and Jesus of Nazareth have had on the world.
In this episode of Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss 1 Peter 5:6-11 Amplified Bible Classic Edition. Of course, the Apostle Peter was writing to a group believers scatter abroad during that time. But we too can learn from his counsel and warnings. Now, our main focus for this episode is — giving our cares to God — found in verse seven,
“Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.”
In this episode of Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss Galatians 6:7-10 New Living Translation.In this passage, the Apostle Paul denoted that we will always harvest what we plant. In other words, life will always present us with the temptation to make harmful or bad decisions. And if we choose to do so, we harvest the negative and/or the destructive harvest that follows. No doubt, most often than not, someone other than yourself gets caught the crossfire. Moreover, the same is true, when we do good, we harvest blessings in just the right time. Although Paul’s letter was addressing the churches of Galatia — it still very much applies to us, even now. Make no mistake, in life’s field — we harvest what we plant.
In this episode of Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss Psalm 57:1-11 New International Version. In this passage we find David in great distress. He is crying out to God for help because King Saul was pursuing him. Why? because Saul was jealous and threatened by David, thus, he wanted to kill him. For that reason, David cried out for help that could only come from God. You see, David understood that God’s wisdom and understanding is better than that of any other.
In this episode of Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss the passage John 1:1-18 [The Word Made Flesh]. In the New Living Translation it says, The Word Made Human. Either way, The Word Made Flesh refers to Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Hence, from this passage we learn exactly who Jesus was and still is. Also, we learn that God sent John the Baptist to testify how Jesus was the true light that shines in the darkness. Moreover, we learn how God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ.
One of the many things I’ve learned over the years is that my plans for my life are not always what’s best for me in the long run. In particular, I refer to those moments as redirections. And when I take the redirection, I end up exactly where I’m supposed to be. As a follower of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I believe God has ordered my steps and all I have to do is be obedient. Another thing I’ve learned is that if I’m not obedient, God has a way of getting me back on track. Glory to God!
In general, have you ever wrestled with the following questions? ‘When will things get better?’ ‘Why do some people have it easier than others?’ ‘Why can’t I catch a break?’ Now, here’s a big one. ‘Why me?’ No doubt, most of us have searched for ‘The Answer’ to each of those questions. Along with the meaning of life and our purpose in this world. It is true, believe it or not–there is a time for everything.
Hence, in this episode, we discuss Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 New International Version.Here we find King Solomon contemplating the meaning and purpose of life. And his conclusion is indeed profound.
In this episode of Biblical Talks, we discuss Mark 6:30-44 New Living Translation.This passage shows the gracious provision of Jesus of Nazareth. And how he feed the multitude–five thousand men and their families. Furthermore, we see His deep sympathy and compassion for those who made the choice to follow Him. Thus, He would meet one’s physical and spiritual needs. Because Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd.
In this episode of Biblical Talks, we discuss Mark 10:13-16 New International Version.If you are thinking, “What is simply simple about this passage?”Well, in this passage people were bringing children to Jesus.
Because they wanted Him to lay His hands on them. Now the disciples reprimanded the people for bringing the children to Jesus. But when Jesus saw this, He was angry with the disciples.
In Mark 10:14-15, Jesus says, “14…“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
The beauty of this passage is that we all can come to Jesus of Nazareth. And that’s why it is Simply Simple.
In this episode of Biblical Talks, we discuss Mark 8:22-26. In this passage Jesus heals a blind man after arriving in Bethsaida. What was the significance of this healing account? Well, it was the perfect example of a gradual healing. It is true, Jesus performed many miracles that were instantaneous. But again, this blind man’s healing was a gradual process. And that is how it is for many of us today–healing is a process.
Now, here are a couple questions for you. Have you read this account of Jesus healing this blind man? If so, what are your thoughts? If you haven’t, no worries, we’ve got you covered.
