https://www.ronmoore.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/jrn20201008.mp3 Download Is it narrow-minded to follow the narrow way, to extol its exclusiveness, and claim its truth?  Or is it simply the wisest choice? Today, Ron Moore answers that question with the authority found in the Bible’s final prophecy.

The keen eye of the artist takes in the scene before him and his hand sketches its outlines onto the canvas. Today, Ron Moore uses the words of the Apostle John to brush the first strokes to a masterpiece of the City of God and its central figure. Listen…and see.

There’s a false sense of security up there when a fatal tumble is a more likely outcome. In this half-hour, Ron Moore issues a challenge to the fence rider, and that challenge comes straight from the mouth of Jesus.

At work and school, do you sometimes stand cold and alone in a storm of conflicting beliefs and values? A place where none have gone with you and still you follow?

Purchase the finest French perfume and then add a dash of vinegar to the bouquet. Would you wear it to the ball…or even the ballgame? Ron Moore outlines the spiritual scent of error combined with truth. It is a stench in the nostrils of God and not a fragrance to be worn in His presence.

What kind of man is entrusted with the deepest mystery of the ages… the closing acts of earth’s history? On today’s program, Ron Moore answers that question and begins to unravel the mystery that was entrusted to John, son of Zebedee.

It’s described as the most frightening book in the Bible.  Its majestic scenes and descriptive prose at once thrill and humble the soul. Today, Ron Moore begins a survey of this, the last book of the Bible, not merely to inform and enlighten but to change your life for good.

Have you just exited the backseat of your car? Just climbed into the light. Just discovered the destination of your sexual sin isn’t where you wanted to be?

Sex in the backseat has you imprisoned, looking at the road behind, as you travel farther and farther from home. It’s taking you for a ride you think you control when you don’t. But there’s someone closing fast. Someone who wants a word. Someone who loves you.

To be an accurate marriage guide our moral GPS must be fixed on a lofty reference point. It must acquire and lock-on to the signal and together husband and wife must follow its instructions.

There are dead ends down many marital byways. Those deceptive and hidden places invite a casual drive-by relationship.  There, just when you think you can cruise on down the road and exit at the other end, you’re trapped.  Adultery is a lot like that.  Despite how long and exciting the trip might be, it always ends in a marriage roadblock. That’s the place Ron Moore takes us to in the next half-hour.  In his examination of adultery, you’ll clearly see the dead-end signs and perhaps avoid the heartrending aftermath.   This Week's Resource Do you remember the traditional standard in marriage and family? It used to be a man and a woman marrying, having a family, and for better or worse, joined as one, as long as they both should live. Today that standard is in tatters. In the United States, fifty percent of all marriages end in divorce. Many couples in our country have concluded that living together before matrimony makes good sense. And Americans are deeply divided over the issue of same-sex marriage. Not surprisingly, those conflicts are challenging Christian beliefs.

Sexually speaking, when you’ve driven off the road and into the darkness how do you find your way back? What hope is there to travel again down a lighted and narrow way? Such a U-turn is possible, but you’ll need directions and a guide. In this broadcast, Ron Moore will be that guide for those caught in homosexuality. He’ll offer clear and compassionate directions from God’s Holy Word.   This Week's Resource Do you remember the traditional standard in marriage and family?

The road is lonely when we travel outside God’s clearly marked lanes. The solid lines are there, not to restrict our freedom, but to keep us in fellowship with Him. They warn us away from the ditch and the dark woods that lie beyond. Perhaps the loneliest of our fellow travelers are those who have left “the narrow way” and driven into the darkness of homosexuality. Today Ron Moore shares a compassionate look at God’s way while offering a new direction for those caught in the gay lifestyle.   This Week's Resource Do you remember the traditional standard in marriage and family?

Living together . . . taking a test-drive before making a commitment . . . can yield important information, but only if your intended is a car.  People are a “bit” more complicated and marriage isn’t a “trade-in” institution.  If you want a marriage to last you’ll need better ways of ensuring a life-long relationship.

Sometimes we drive, sometimes we are driven and sometimes we know the difference. Lust of the eyes and the heart frequently take us on a ride that we think we control. And when we fall into that line of thinking, lust has wrestled the wheel from our hands. Men, you know the struggle. Women . . . you too. So what do you do? That’s Ron Moore’s focus in this half-hour. He’ll share biblical and practical solutions to regaining control of your life in the war against lust.   This Week's Resource Do you remember the traditional standard in marriage and family?

Some crave life on the edge. They drive headlong around blind, mountain curves, trusting in their firm control while drifting closer and closer to the precipice. Lust can be like that. It seems manageable, controllable, exhilarating, until one slip and we find ourselves falling into an abyss. Why do we play with lust? And how does it play with us in return? Ron Moore will be along in a moment to talk about that with compassion and clear direction.   This Week's Resource Do you remember the traditional standard in marriage and family?

Imagine for a moment you look out on your driveway and there sits a brand new, gleaming Lexus. It sports a big red bow and a gift card with your name on it.  How would you treat it? Better yet, how carefully would you drive it? Ron Moore continues his series on Biblical Sexuality with a look at an even greater gift. One provided you by the Creator. One that most people would give up a Lexus to keep. The gift of sex. Just ahead are care and maintenance instructions that will keep your gift shining for the rest of your life.   This Week's Resource Do you remember the traditional standard in marriage and family?

Why a car leaves us stranded on a lonely road, or worse, smashed against a fence, can often be traced to a singular fact…it wasn’t operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In a way, sex is like that. When used outside of the creator’s guidelines, when not maintained by the Book, sex leaves its drivers broken and lost. In this half-hour, Ron Moore picks up where he left off last time. . . looking at the design and maintenance of biblical sexuality. It’s the introduction of a series that insures you arrive whole and happy at your final destination.   This Week's Resource Do you remember the traditional standard in marriage and family?

Sexual expression is like a sleek racecar…beautiful, powerful, hard to ignore, and hard to stop when out of control.  To be skillfully handled, it requires mastery of the inventor’s directions. And if not driven precisely—if not kept on the right course—it will crash and burn, injuring driver and bystander alike. Today, in view of its wonderful and yet potentially destructive power, Ron Moore begins a series that speaks to sexual expression from the instructions of its inventor.   This Week's Resource Do you remember the traditional standard in marriage and family?

Sitting in a high place among our most treasured possessions is our taste in music.  It often rules over our choice in churches, friends, and spiritual leaders.  It can be the most healing or destructive of our closely held values. Ron Moore offers spiritual insight from four periods of church-music history and challenges us to place our musical taste in its proper position.

A healthy spirit contributes to a healthy body. And there’s nothing more invigorating to our heart and soul than the balm of music. Unfortunately, we often disagree about which medicine is best. Ron Moore offers a glimpse into our musical past to offer a healthy perspective on music in the now.

While the organs must all work together for a healthy body, there is a hierarchy of function.  The brain cannot live without the heart, but the heart receives its commands from the brain. What that means for Christ’s body, the Church, is Ron Moore’s focus in this half-hour.

Like a rubber hammer to the knee, God is expecting a response when he gently raps on our soul. Today Ron Moore shows us what that reflexive action says about the health of our spirit.

In the frontier between black and white are the “No Sin Zones.” Those gray areas where believers often differ over our freedom in Christ. Ron Moore shares four principles that should drive your behavior the next time you find yourself in the “No Sin Zones.”

Freedom draws a very large circle…love draws it smaller.  In between looms the possibility that the Gospel can be misunderstood. Ron Moore shares how the Apostle Paul dealt with that situation and how you can follow his example.

Liberty has limits.  While that statement may seem contradictory it actually grants even greater freedom…the freedom to do “as you should,” and not merely “as you want.” Ron Moore explains what it means to be truly free--within “loving boundaries.”

You are an architect.  Each day you design and build a life in front of God and others.  The question is, what do you build it with?  And how does your structure impact the community around you? Today Ron Moore shares construction standards that will ensure the integrity of your spiritual neighborhood and provide awards that will never fade.

There are some things in this world, and the next, which are seen only through brighter eyes…some thoughts that must be interpreted by a greater mind. On today’s broadcast, Ron Moore reminds us that such sight and understanding is a favor to the chosen, from the third person of the Trinity.  It’s a gift that binds us together as one.

What are the signs of a healthy church? Today Ron Moore begins a new series to address that question.  And in the next half-hour he introduces a key marker that can determine the vitality of your church.

Successful spiritual living isn’t a matter of happenstance.  It takes training in the truth. Training that only comes when we hold to the fundamentals of the faith. Today, Ron Moore continues that instruction from an ancient document.

The surest evidence you’ve spent time in the Bible is not how long you’ve been at it, it’s how far God’s Word has taken you down the road to maturity. In the minutes ahead, Ron Moore puts you on that road and encourages you to truly believe the essentials of the scriptures.

Can you trust the integrity of God’s Word? After all, it did pass through the hearts, minds, and hands of countless sinful men. Ron Moore comes to offer convincing evidence that the Bible is true and worthy of your trust.

Where does the Bible fit in the context of truth and life? Does it really matter and is it truly reliable? Today, Ron Moore will offer that context so that you can discover the importance of God’s Word for every circumstance and every need.

Do you ever wonder about the scope of your purpose in life?  What you’re supposed to be doing with your knowledge of God and His Word? Ron Moore will offer some “accessories” for the fully devoted student.

Who’s first on your spiritual speed dial? When things are well or ill who do you contact before any other?

There’s a truism in sports that claims, “You play like you practice.” In your spiritual life, it could also be said that “You pray like you practice.”

Like the stony faces on Mt. Rushmore we sometimes feel as if our prayer life looms over us with an accusing stare. And too often we bow our heads in guilty confession.

Detours keep us from arriving at our destination in a timely manner. And sometimes we don’t get there at all. We get lost on winding, back roads. And so it is on the path to worship.

Attempts to enter into worship are sometimes aborted journeys. That’s often because of the billboard-size distractions that hail us along the way.

How do you want others to think of you and how important are their thoughts? Now ask that question about God. Blessedly, we don’t have to wonder who it is we worship.

Who is the God you praise? You may be surprised to find He’s not exactly who you think He is. And that can make all the difference in your adoration.

God will not be worshipped in a box.  Even a pretty one with colored windows and soaring arches does not impress Him.  He’s looking for intimate and open and often messy places.

Where do you find the highest pinnacle of worship?  The place where God inhabits the praise of His people?

What one gift can you present to God that will gladden and delight His heart?

One prayer with four levels.  Honestly embraced it will take you from a shallow spiritual existence to the deep life God has created for you. In just a moment Ron Moore comes to share that prayer.  Are you ready?

It was hidden from human understanding for millennia…a mystery so profound that only God’s Son could reveal it. Today, Ron Moore pulls back the curtain of sacred history so that you can see the secret of the ages and your place in it.

We were adrift…separated from help and hope and one another.  But now, God has gathered us to Himself and made us one people, one body—bound together by the hope of eternal life. Today Ron Moore explores that miracle and what it means for you and for the world in which we live.

The sails of life were limp and directionless.  We had driven ourselves to this spiritual Sargasso Sea and it had claimed us.  We were captains of lost slave ships, doomed to Hell’s deep. But, as Ron Moore is coming to share, an amazing power billowed our sails to life and led us to the lighthouse and home.

There is no power in the spiritual grave.  No emotional need or physical desire can break its curse.  And we are all under that curse.  Helpless and hopeless we’re unresponsive to the call of our creator.  But God has a way to raise the dead. Today, Ron Moore shows us that way and the power of God that grants everlasting life.

A dynamic light has shined in our hearts.  But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that its all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. And in this half-hour, Ron Moore will show you how that came to be and the supernatural things God wants you to do with it.

Do you have the mark of authenticity…the eternal certification that you’re God’s priceless treasure, secured for all eternity? Ron Moore talks with us about that peace-giving seal and its promise of the riches to come.

You are like an expensive pearl, once owned by an uncaring collector, now purchased, at great personal cost, by a loving Lord. Ron Moore will detail that transaction and what it means to your life.

Like the world’s richest jewel mine you have been chosen as a repository of untold riches by the Creator of all things. And today Ron Moore shares, in what may be a surprising revelation, how these gems of sparkling grace found their place in your heart and how you can reveal them to the world.

We live in a world where the love of many is growing cold and men’s hearts are failing them for fear. In the face of this mounting angst how does the believer live with confidence and joy before a watching world?

Why should we assemble ourselves together when today’s organized church seems so insular and judgmental? Ron Moore looks at God’s design for churches and churchgoers alike.

Strength and submission seem odd companions. Yet, in a biblical household, their union is not only desired but demanded. The rationale for the directive of that union and the peace that it brings to home and heart.

An unfortunate result of the fall is that our work came under the curse. The thing at which we spend the balance of our waking hours is also the place that tries our soul…especially when injustice enters the workplace. Ron Moore offers biblical solutions to unfairness on the job.

Jesus told us in John 6: “All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.”  What did he mean by that and what does it mean to you? Ron Moore talks about the meaning and comfort for believers, anchored by a truth that’s hard to understand.

How do you build a life that will stand the storms and earthquakes of living? It begins with one critical part and continues as we align every wall, in every room to that spiritual building-block.

Spiritual fashion week occurs every week for the believer…and the runway runs right through your town. In view of that public display, Ron Moore helps you ditch the old man’s knock-offs and dress in the eternal Designer’s fresh creations.

The rigors of boot camp, no matter how severe, are not the same as war...but they can make a soldier ready for it.  So it is in spiritually training for our fight with the world system. A system that would gladly crush Christian soldiers. Be more than conquerors through Christ who loved us.

More certain than an eastern sunrise…surer than the foundations of earth…that is the hope to which we are anchored in Christ. Ron Moore details our security and its evidence.

How do you live for the next world when life in this one is reasonably comfortable? How do you live as a stranger in this world rather than its friend?

He made us, He became us, and He died for us. With that résumé how could He not know us? The truth is He knows us better than we know ourselves. So, doesn’t it make sense that we can confidently return His surrender with our own? That’s the challenge Ron Moore brings us in this half-hour.

Expectations are often borrowed disappointments. And disappointments are often His appointments. When we surrender our expectations to Christ, He replaces them with something better than we can expect or even imagine. That’s Ron Moore’s challenge in this half-hour, to give up our desires for God’s. As you’ll see, it’s an exchange of our faith for divine blessing.

When does the phrase: “I give up” signal victory instead of defeat? When does “my sacrifice” mean getting everything I truly want? Ron Moore shares those paradoxes through the story of Abraham and Isaac. It’s there that you’ll find triumph and plenty.

Submission to God in prayer is more than surrender.  To lie face down in the dust is only a start.  It is a yielding of not only your fate but also your will, your expectations, your fervent requests. And, it is one thing more. Ron Moore deals with that kind of prayer and that one thing in today’s broadcast. During our time together you’ll discover a model for surviving a shaken world.

Perhaps you’ve been to the place where dark clouds of trouble have obscured the Sun and their thunderclaps have rattled your world. Perhaps you’re there now. There at the place where life has turned a pale gray and you wonder if it’s still worth the time and effort. Today Ron Moore assures you that it is. He’ll take you to another place where the light never dims and clouds never gather. And from that perspective, you’ll discover a way to redeem your time in this dark and shaken world.

Standing at the edge of your life, gazing at a landscape leveled by an earthquake, what do you see? Disaster? Opportunity? Disappointment? Hope? If you said “all of the above” then you see the truth. But there is one truth that informs them all. One truth that once seen, offers promise for the future. In the next half-hour, Ron Moore examines that truth, and its promise, from the story of Job.

When life collapses around you…when you lie prostrate, beneath the weight of shattered dreams, a broken family, or sagging finances, there is one lesson that will ultimately free you. One truth that will light the darkness so you can see. That lesson—that truth is Ron Moore’s focus in this half-hour.

Do you know the God who walks with you down this storm-tossed road?  Is He an anchor when pounding waves threaten to batter you into submission? Well, who you think God is when troubles crash into your life, is critical to conquering the storm. Today, Ron Moore uncovers the sure foothold that’s anchored in God’s character…in who he is. It will bring comfort to your trembling soul.

Where is God when life’s tremors rattle the walls of your world? Does He care? Did He command the earthquake? Does your faith stand or falter? Those are the issues we all battle when pain fractures our hearts. Ron Moore begins an answer to those questions with a blueprint for unshakable faith.

The hot coals of anger smoldering within can burn those around you and your own heart as well.  It is no respecter of persons. In this half-hour, Ron Moore helps you identify anger, both appropriate and inappropriate, and shares ways to quench the coals.

Is there a quiet earthquake undermining the integrity of your foundation…  a shaking so subtle that no one else feels it? Perhaps you aren’t aware of it either, even though you are its cause. On today’s broadcast, Ron Moore takes you below the surface of your life to expose the thoughts and actions that can topple your character and reputation.  During that inspection you’ll also learn how to protect and shore-up your spiritual foundation.

Somewhere between the start and finish line of the spiritual race you’ll face hurdles, high walls and muggers.  They will slow you and roll you and mow you down.  When that happens, the question “why” rarely works.  The issue then becomes “What do I do now?” On today’s broadcast, Ron Moore will answer that question so you can confidently run the race that is set before you.

Like the flames of a raging fire chewing away at your heart, testing and trials can burn your faith to the ground, unless you’re ready for them. So, on today’s broadcast, Ron Moore will offer words of preparation from someone well acquainted with fiery trials and how to quench them.

Tough-faith. It changed the world in the first century and it’s changing the world now.  The question is…is that kind of faith yours? Ron Moore shares an introduction to such a faith, so that you can be a partaker.  Listen and let your be faith be toughened…for good.

Do you wear feelings on your sleeve? Do you want everyone to notice what adorns your heart at any given moment? Ron Moore offers spiritual attire that will adorn the heart of God and uplift your emotions for all to see and desire.

We all desire the coat of many colors...the one that identifies us as special when we walk down the avenues of life.  But there are spiritual garments that are far more valuable in the streets of heaven, and when you learn their features, the coat of many colors will pale in comparison. Today Ron Moore describes those spiritual vestments and their many benefits.

You are beloved by the Heavenly Father.  And with that love He has clothed you in righteousness.  In addition, he’s provided apparel that identifies you as His child to a watching world. Ron Moore details the first two pieces of that wardrobe in just a moment.

When the winds of need, both great and small, blow against you, how do you find the grace to help? Ron Moore directs you to shelter and to the One who will greet you there.

What if you were the last lifeguard where the river of life plunged over the cliff and into the sin-soaked abyss. Would you know what to do to save a believer drifting close to the spiritual edge? On today’s broadcast Ron Moore offers biblical training that could save someone from death and cover a multitude of sins.

Conflict.  Few of us like it but all of us experience it.  So how do we deal with it in strength and God’s grace? On today’s broadcast Ron Moore shares biblical guidance that will ensure both you and God are winners the next time conflict arises.

A powerful foe is stalking you…calculating your weaknesses and your next moves. Perhaps he’s already wounded you and you feel it’s only a matter of time before he closes for the kill. Today Ron Moore offers spiritual encouragement to overcome Satan’s attacks and to resist his temptations. Listen and discover untapped strength for the fight.

Pressed into a corner, wounded and weak, is the last place you want to be.  But it may be the first place where God can truly use you. Ron Moore explains in just a moment.

In a landscape of confusing promises, where can you find true peace and confidence? Ron Moore is here to provide a spiritual map, where contentment marks the spot.

Like Isaac, obediently waiting for death on a makeshift altar, we are to offer our own lives to God, not for death but as living sacrifices. What that truly means, how it’s done and what it produces, is Ron Moore’s topic in this half-hour.

The pulse of the Christian heart is clearly detected in the monitor of life. It beats out a rhythm of devotion to the risen Christ and to those around us. Especially to our partner in marriage. Today Ron Moore points out the peaks and valleys of our heart monitor and helps us keep the rhythm of devotion clear and consistent.

“I tell you the truth,” Jesus said in John 12:24, “unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” And those seeds sprout into the fruit of the Spirit and of righteousness. With that in mind, on today’s broadcast, Ron Moore explains how we can put to death the sin nature and bear fruit unto eternal life.

“I tell you the truth,” Jesus said in John 12:24, “unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” And those seeds sprout into the fruit of the Spirit and of righteousness. With that in mind, on today’s broadcast, Ron Moore explains how we can put to death the sin nature and bear fruit unto eternal life.

A simple magnifying glass, aimed at the Sun, can produce a roaring fire in the kindling below it. So it is with the life focused on God’s Son. His light is brought into sharp power that ignites everyone around with God’s love and mercy. Today Ron Moore shares how we can find that devoted focus in our own life.

A shadow has passed over humankind. It wasn’t the real thing but it caused us to seek the source of the eclipse. And in the finding we discovered true freedom. Today Ron Moore shows us that real thing—the shadow-maker—that transforms a darkened heart into the light of the world.

Freedom, as defined by our licentious culture, is a gilded cage. Rather than giving us the liberty to pursue God’s best, it makes us free from righteousness and slaves to sin. Today Ron Moore hands us the key that makes escape possible and soaring flight a reality.

Christian martyrdom was never the lot of the wavering. Neither is Christian growth. Today Ron Moore prepares us for both with a tutorial on building a strong altar for our living sacrifice.

Though not created, Christ sustains creation. Though once dead, He is the giver of life. Though He emptied Himself, the fullness of God dwells in Him. And though rejected He has reconciled you to Himself. In this half-hour, Ron Moore holds these truths up to the light and challenges you to believe them.

How does the cover of the passport written on your heart read?  Kingdom of Darkness or Kingdom of Light?  If it’s the latter your citizenship entitles you to everlasting benefits that begin right now. Ron Moore details some of them in the next half-hour.

A rail car will rust away when left by itself on a side-track. But when it’s fully engaged to a powerful locomotive it can carry precious cargo and climb distant mountains. Today Ron Moore proclaims that that kind of power is available to the believer, as revealed by Paul in the book of Colossians.

How can the inhumane practice of abortion be ended? That’s Ron Moore’s and special guest Brian Fisher’s focus in this broadcast. They speak to the five groups who can sweep abortion into the dustbin of history.

The world is watching us.  It’s looking for a reason to believe…or an excuse to disbelieve, and disobey, the Creator. In this half-hour, Ron Moore and special guest Brian Fisher talk about that scrutiny as it impacts the world we live in…and in which the unborn can be killed and cast aside.

There’s a closely held secret in the culture of abortion.  It’s cynical, deceitful and crafty. In this broadcast, Ron Moore and special guest Brian Fisher unveil that secret and its awful consequences for women.

Sometimes freedom can become bondage.  A legal “right” can be very wrong and the highly valued can be callously discarded. Ron Moore and special guest Brian Fisher are here to examine those spiritual inconsistencies as they relate to the sin of abortion.

What do you offer someone who has committed great sin? What can you give them that is greater than their guilt? In this broadcast, Ron Moore and special guest Brian Fisher talk about that as it relates to ending the sinful practice of abortion.

What is true contentment and what does it feel like? Ron Moore teaches you how to learn its secret and thereby find lasting satisfaction.

A legacy is not left in a snapshot. It is the sum-total of a life lived for self or for God or some combination of both. Today, Ron Moore outlines the life whose legacy stands the test of time and eternity.

If we’re to successfully scale the challenges of life we must be connected to Christ and other believers.  Without a firm union to both we will fall. On today’s podcast, Ron Moore helps us “rope-in” to our climbing partners so we can summit the peak together.

Have the shackles of pain or circumstance left you feeling bereft of freedom?  Are you chained to past hurts and sins?  Did you know you can live in liberty bound by the former, while the latter can imprison you in a cell of your own making? On today’s podcast, Ron Moore shares the “why” and “how.”

Are you sure?  It’s a question all of us have been asked, at one time or another, but it takes on greater importance when it’s your spiritual strength that’s at issue So today, with a special challenge to Moms, Ron Moore prepares you to answer with a firm; “Yes, I’m sure.”

He was under house arrest…chained to centurions…living a life that everyone dreams about…his days filled with purpose and great joy. Today, Ron Moore shares the secret of living that kind of life, as demonstrated by the Apostle Paul, and outlined in a short prison-letter to his brothers and sisters in Christ.

You can’t leave a legacy of Godly faith and practice unless you truly own it.

Hospitality has gotten a first-world makeover. In fact, it’s almost unrecognizable from the original design

What frames your internal world? Are the thoughts and intents of your heart a cluttered structure of wood, hay, and stubble, or do precious metal and costly stone form the building blocks of your life?

Like a downhill skier in the winter Olympics, the Christian often teeters between a winning run to the finish line and crashing into a snow bank. We’re constantly balancing between the liberty of the Gospel and the constraints of a holy life.

Your delegated power to shape a watching world begins in a place much more intimate. Fail there and the world stops watching.

There’s a biblical measurement that marks the influential Christian life. How effectively you impact the world, your neighbors and family for Christ hangs on that yardstick.

When you accepted Christ’s forgiveness you were assigned a mission and promised rewards. Together they offer a life lived with passionate purpose.

There is an often-forgotten aspect of love that wastes away in the dark closets of our fellowships. It’s rarely if ever, brought out, dusted off, and employed. Remarkably, it’s the one quality that can rescue a church, and individual believer, from spiritual destruction. That aspect of “love in action” is Ron Moore’s focus on today’s broadcast.

The pulse of a healthy church is the sum of each individual heart beating in unison with the others. Sadly, that’s not the case in many faith communities. Instead, they need a spiritual defibrillator to shock them back to normal sinus rhythm. Ron Moore does just that with a divine diagnosis and a jolt from God’s powerful Word.

Being bound together in the body of Christ doesn’t just happen. The chain links that interlock us to one another must be carefully fashioned on the anvil of life and living. Ron Moore outlines the forging processes that will help to create an unbreakable bond in your church.

Community is an individual responsibility.The whole can’t grow into full fellowship without the committed participation of each one. Ron Moore offers five essentials for the individual Christian that can build up the larger communion of believers.

The Church is supposed to be a masterpiece of Christ’s image on earth, but the canvas is marred and the pigment muddied. So how can the world see the risen Savior in such a messy medium? With the master’s brush, Ron Moore paints a revealing portrait of genuine connection in the Body of Christ. It’s a communion that proclaims “Christ lives here.”

Community has become a buzz word in modern culture and in the Body of Christ, but do we truly know what makes a community work? Ron Moore shares an ancient model for community that, once understood, can transform the way we do church.

Merry Christmas! Christ in you, the hope of glory. That’s how Paul describes believers. But sometimes you wonder about that. Sometimes it seems your old nature has pushed God out of your life. Ron Moore has some good news. It comes in the form of four truths that evidence the presence of Christ in your spirit.

The One who created the world with just a word entered that world through a humble birth, to humble parents, as a humble baby. Was it a weakness in the face of his rebellious creatures that determined this meek arrival?  Or was it a power greater than creation? That’s Ron Moore’s focus in this half-hour. Listen and discover what it means for your life. .

You have a message to share, handed down by your sovereign.  But it isn’t popular, just as it wasn’t in the days of the King.  So, what do you do with it? As Ron Moore is about to explain, you take your cues from the author of the message. .

Imagine you’re a king promising to share the table of your subjects. But when you finally arrive their houses are dilapidated, dirty, and desperately messy. Ron Moore is coming to look at such a situation and the King of Heaven’s gracious response. .

At the first Advent, John the Baptist was chosen by God to be the “voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord.” So, who is God calling to prepare the way for Christ’s second coming? Ron Moore shares the answer to that question in this half-hour.

Who are you? In a broken and desperate world, where do you fit? What purpose do you serve? Today Ron Moore shares three principles that will give you purpose, direction, and meaning. Learn them well and they’ll change your life for good.

How do you respond when God asks you to do something difficult? Something that could alienate your closest friends. Something that could alter your life forever. For biblical insight, today Ron Moore shares the story of one remarkable woman who was asked by God to bear the unimaginable. In her faith response, you’ll discover a way to live your life.

What does it mean to know Jesus? What is it to accept Him on His terms? What must our attitude be as we welcome Him into our lives? Ron Moore is here to answer those questions. He’ll do that with a look at one person’s response to the announcement of the first Christmas.

It was a still, silent night when the light began to shine in one man’s darkened heart. It was the night that gave him, and us, some of the most treasured words found in scripture. In this broadcast, Ron Moore takes you to a secret place, there to ponder those words and in them, to discover new dawn of true hope and change. Prepare to witness a brilliant light. .

The road from Heaven’s glory to Christ’s birth to Calvary’s Cross and on to victorious resurrection was paved in shame and heartache. On today’s broadcast, Ron Moore leads us down the broken path Jesus walked when he came to make us whole.  It’s a story prophesied long before the first Christmas. .

The first Christmas was planned well before Mary was with child. The reason for that birth was decided long before Calvary’s Cross. In this half-hour, Ron Moore examines the first whisper of those events and the tragic Good News it foreshadowed. .

The world does not wander from event to happenstance event.  There are purpose and direction in its history.  Language, culture, and political power must all bend the knee to a sovereign God. Today Ron Moore looks at that glad reality as he recounts the timing, place, and people God arranged to welcome His Son to Earth. .

“Why am I here?” It’s the bracing question that lurks around the edges of our consciousness, sometimes charging into the open with a challenge we struggle to meet. Ron Moore offers biblical insights that will help you confidently face the reason for your being and how you live it out.

Ours is a historic faith. As Paul said to King Festus, regarding the resurrection: “What I am saying is true and reasonable…it was not done in a corner.” In this half-hour, Ron Moore explores that claim and offers a firm foundation for belief.

Your life is an asset…a resource provided by your Creator. How will you spend that life and all that goes with it? How much will you return to God and how much will you keep? That’s Ron Moore’s question as he looks at four foundational investment principles and their application in the life of Mary, mother of Jesus.

It’s more trustworthy than tomorrow’s dawn, more certain than Earth’s gravity. It’s the promise Jesus made to believers: “I will never leave you or forsake you.” In this broadcast, Ron Moore shares that truth and tells you how to experience its certainty in your life.

For those who believe, an eternal indictment has been satisfied. Every transgression has been expunged—the document tossed into the deepest sea. And with that justification, God has freed himself to welcome us home. In this half-hour, Ron Moore recounts that great, good news and its ongoing meaning for your life.

When does retreat mean victory? How can you know when you’re heading in the right direction? And what will it look like when you reach the objective? Today Ron Moore answers those questions and sets you on a conquering “about-face.”

You are being hunted. As you stumble through the forest of earthly delights and fears, a hound is on your trail. But, when he finds you, you’ll not be harmed. Instead, you will be saved. What that word means, in all its richness, is Ron Moore’s topic on today’s broadcast.

What do you do when you’ve set aside the faith you long held dear? How do you repair a commitment to Christ that has crumbled under the stresses of life? Ron Moore talks about that on today’s program, by recalling the example of one whose renewed faith changed the world.

Have you resolved to be more kind-hearted in your dealings with others? To share true love with those you encounter each day? What exactly will that look like, what will it be like for others and for you? Those are the questions Ron Moore addresses on today’s program. Through the answers, you’ll discover joy and faith that draws others to the love of Jesus.

Whenever we fall into trials, which is all too often in these “shadowlands,” we long for someone who has the strength to lift us out of our predicament. In this half-hour, Ron Moore shows us the only one whose power is sufficient to our troubles and how we can experience it in our lives.

As we stumble through the tangled vines and hidden snares of life it’s essential to have a leader who’s been down this trail before us.  One who was undeterred by the difficult and uneven path he traveled. Today Ron Moore points to such a one and shows us how to closely follow him.

At what point in the Christian life should you anticipate taming the sinful nature? How long should you expect to struggle with doing what’s right in God’s eyes?

When God has forgiven our sin, thrown them into the depths of the sea, and remembered them no more, we’re off the hook…right? Well, not necessarily.

What are the signs that our repentance is complete? What will we feel and how will we think?

You’ve sinned…perhaps greatly. Now, you want the joy of your salvation restored…but how?

How do we reconcile the Lord’s warning to “Judge not lest you be judged” with His command: “If anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one?”

What are the steps we take when setting off on a journey into sin? And, once on our way, what trespassing side-trips will be necessary to ensure our desired destination?

We sin. And while that’s not news, it is often perplexing. We wonder why we continue to do the things we’ve resolved not to do. So, what is this thing called sin and why is it here in the first place?

It’s the attribute of God that banishes fear and invites us to enjoy Him forever. Absent it, we’re lost without hope.

Have you laid a dream to rest?  A dream that occupied your heart and mind for years?  One that inspired you and helped you face each day?

Worship is best offered with feeling.  So what do your feelings toward God, and the expression of those emotions, say about the condition of your heart?

How much do you love God and how do you show it? What about when God doesn’t act the way you want Him to…what do you do then?

What if you gained the world of business and career but lost your family?  Would that count as success or failure?

We like to “do” stuff.  We want to go places and make things happen…even in our spiritual life. And we want God to keep to our schedule.

A.W. Tozer said, “What comes into our mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” That statement reveals a staggering truth: real change begins when we see God in all his wonder, sovereignty, and grace.

You’ve run the race. Sometimes well, sometimes faltering, but you’re still on your feet and looking toward the finish line. What can you do to ensure you don’t stumble and fall before you reach it?

The steel-gray clouds have rolled into your life and you wonder if the sun will ever shine again. Worse still, you’ve been told believers should never experience these dark days.

Things are not always what they seem. Sometimes God places situations in your path, not to tempt you, but to reveal you…to show whether you’re opportunistic or principled.

A sure measure of our spiritual condition is found in how we deal with those who threaten or wrong us.

Has spiritual dryness staked a claim in your heart? Have you descended into a cave of depression that borders desperation and despair?

The Bible says it better; “people who need people, are the most blessed people in the world.”

Do you know who your true friends are? Those you can count on to be strong and weak with you in every season of life?

Who would you take a bullet for? Who would take one for you? Perhaps more to the point, who would you stand with in the face of powerful opposition?

Have you ever felt you were sliding down into success…headed for a place the world considers lofty...one you know to be a destination glittering with corruptible gold?

There are giants in the world and in your heart. Their stature is so imposing you fear they will overpower you and your faith.

Too often we make “audition room” judgments of ourselves and others. We ask whether we have the right “look”…the “X factor” appearance that marks our culture’s ideal of successful people.

Remove the bridle from a spirited horse and you’ll be in for a dangerous ride. So it is with the impulsive person. Without character to steer him or her, only tragedy awaits along the path of real life.

In the gritty, mean streets of real life who can you trust, the man or woman of character or those who will cut corners to win a temporary victory?

If someone took a magnifying glass to your real life and inspected it thoroughly, what would He find? Integrity in the tiniest places or compromise in the spots we thought were hidden?

In real life, we rarely take time to look at the character of people, so we settle for their outward appearance.

What happens on the day you decide God can’t meet your needs? When you choose to fill that empty space in your real life with someone or something other than Him?

In real life, designed by God for purpose and meaning, we're often confronted with trivial, hollow religion. A dead faith that sucks the marrow from living. How can we avoid its poison and thrive in the spirit of Christ?

God will never disappoint you, but you may be disappointed with God. What’s the difference? Expectations.

Sometimes real life crowds our commitment to Christ—threatens to push it into a dark corner that we hope God and others never look into. But, of course, He does—and eventually they do too. What happens then?

Have you raised the gale warning flags over your heart? Determined to signal the anxiety-storm that rages out of sight and out of control?

Real Life. We experience it every day. Unfortunately, our view of God rarely matches that reality.

We all experience anger…sometimes for good, sometimes in sin. And sometimes it hurts…it hurts others, it hurts us and it hurts those we love.

Three types of anger desire to have you. They crouch at your door seeking entrance to your soul and your family’s.

There are hidden aspects to sinful pride. They lurk around the edges of our lives concealing the arrogance that we condemn in others. Do you want to see what they look like?

What are some common threads in addictions? How do they weave a fabric that threatens to pattern every inch of your life?

You like something. You like it a lot. How do you know if you like it too much? How do you know if you’re addicted?

You’ve had an affair and now your heart is broken. You’ve repented and God has forgiven you. You’re back on the straight and narrow. But, what about your wife? How long before she can forgive?

Men, what steps are necessary to demonstrate one has left sin behind? How can we, and the ones we’ve wronged, know that we’re serious about changing?

You’ve had an affair; maybe you’re still in it. But, along with the excitement and pleasure, is the disquieting realization that God knows your secret sin and it will find you out.  What do you do?

What’s one of the temptations faced by men that their wives often don’t understand? And what steps can a man take to resist, and even avoid, such a temptation?

What are the barriers to satisfying sex in marriage...those roadblocks that can detour you or your partner into a disappointing affair?

Men, what are the warning signals that you could fall prey to an affair? And wives, do you understand how the men in your life are sexually wired by God?

Men, what can you leave for your children that will never fade and will enrich them forever?

What does it mean to be a whole man…a man complete in himself and with God?

By God’s grace you’ve been the best husband you know how to be. But now she’s gone. Not by her choice but God’s. Now what?

What do sons and their fathers need in order to be equipped to lead their families?

You want to be God’s man in your marriage. But just what does that mean? Is it spending time with your wife or spending time providing for her? And are those things mutually exclusive?

Many men, even those who profess Christ, worship at the altar of masculinity.

Where does a man get his sense of self and self-worth? And what happens when that source changes?

What is the greatest act a “man’s man” can perform?

In today’s gender-confused culture how can men recapture their God-designed roles and purpose? What does a man, made in God’s image, look like, and how does he act?

Truth begs to be lived out. It implores you to order life under its teaching. But first, you must learn how it applies in your situation. Ron Moore concludes his series in Hebrews with a look at what it all means for you.

The post Righteousness through Faith appeared first on The Journey with Ron Moore.

Hurt. Disappointment. Anger. Confusion. Fear. Mary was probably feeling all those emotions following the death of her brother Lazarus. She made her way to Jesus, fell at his feet, and let him know exactly what was on her mind. “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died” (John 11:32). Those words were spoken with tears running down her cheeks and between the loud sobs of grief. The post Disappointment. Anger. Confusion. appeared first on The Journey with Ron Moore.

Recurring rash moments could damage the vessel and the legacy.  But gentle care will yield a beautiful expression of the artist and her God.

Jesus has made a way to escape death, to never die. He first gave that promise to a woman grieving the loss of her brother. Today we begin following Jesus to the cross. As Jesus entered the Jerusalem area for the last time, he performed a significant miracle just outside of town. This miracle centered around a man named Lazarus—who was dead and buried. Let’s consider Jesus’ words to Martha, one of the dead man’s sisters.  The post Never Die appeared first on The Journey with Ron Moore.

Sometimes we have problems with the plan—God’s plan. We misunderstand what he is up to. That’s what happened to the disciples.

Have you ever felt like Jesus was holding out on you? Check out today’s passage.

The early followers of Jesus misunderstood. They wanted a better temporal life. Jesus came to deliver eternal life. Subsequently, many of the disciples stopped following Jesus.

Strong and courageous. That is the call on every Christian parent. We need to stand firm and resolute in forming the hearts and minds of our children. If we don’t, there are plenty of people standing in a long line who want to control the next generation. Check out today’s passage.

Many Christian homes are filled with books on parenting. The books address everything from discipline to college decisions. Most of the books are good as far as they go, but there is one Book that must be on the top of the pile. Honestly, we would be better served if we would put down all the other books and pick up “The Book”.

“It’s time to grow up and get serious about your walk with Christ.” Those are the words that parenting shouts at us. It’s no longer just about you (it never was!). Every parent takes on a heavy responsibility, and with that should come humility. Our gut churns with a farrago of emotions that range from excitement to downright fear. Every parent can relate to Joshua’s feelings in the opening chapter of this book.

God makes his light to shine on us. I love the concept, but what does that mean? We have been using Psalm 118 this week as a guide for praying for our children. So, let’s wrap up our time by asking God to shine his light on them. Our prayer will explain what this powerful truth means.

What does success look like? What does God’s success look like? There are often two different answers to those questions. Our success doesn’t always look like God’s success. But his “win” is the only success that matters.

Do you ever feel like you are being pushed hard? Feel like you are falling? Happens to us all and to our children. This week we are using Psalm 118 as a guide to praying for our children (and grandchildren). Today’s verses speak to the real-life experience of being pushed hard.

So…where do you place your trust? In man? In government? In a human system? At the end of the day, all human efforts will fail, and all systems will falter. This week, using Psalm 118 as our guide, we are praying for our children (and grandchildren). Today let’s pray that they always place their trust in the living God.

When I understand that God is on my side, fear and dread are driven away. We all want to live with a “God on my side” confidence. And we want our children to do the same. This week we are using Psalm 118 as our guide to praying for our children. Let’s pray they will know and experience this promise that God is always on their side.

Putting a tether on the lion of temptation is not only doable…it’s demanded. Ron Moore offers a leash, a whip, and a way of escape. With those means, you’ll find prayerful defense from the dangers of temptation.

This week we are focusing on prayers for parents using Psalm 118 as our guide. Today’s prayer is about freedom. Don’t you want your children to live in the freedom Jesus provides?

Dependence is a negative word in our culture.  We rely on our can-do self-sufficiency to build a prosperous and successful society. But, in God’s economy, that attitude fails and leaves us poorer than we should be. Today, Ron Moore directs us back to the peace and prosperity gained by reliance on God’s provision.

This week we will focus on prayer, specifically how parents can pray for their children. Our guide will be Psalm 118. Today let’s begin with a parent’s prayer of thanksgiving.

If you ask the Father for a fish He won’t give you a snake, Jesus said.  But what if you asked, unknowing, for the snake?  Would you trust Him to deny your request? Ron Moore sheds light on bowing before the throne as we lift our hearts in prayer.

Words matter. They have the power to build up and tear down. And once they escape our mouths, you cannot retrieve them. Words matter and the apostle Paul gives parents a needed warning about our words and our actions.

He’s the genie in our prayer bottle.  With one heartfelt petition we expect God to appear and grant our wish.  That done we’ll stuff Him back in the flask until our next crisis. Or, as Ron Moore is about to share, He’s the sovereign of the universe, deserving our worship even as we approach Him in prayer.

Today’s passage, the Shema (from the Hebrew word “hear”), is a confession of faith. It is recited every day by pious Jews and every Sabbath in the synagogues. We have been using these powerful verses as a parenting evaluation.

Does prayer seem as if you’re casting words into the ether? Trying to perform some kind of supernatural trick that you can’t seem to get a handle on? Ron Moore will be along to share the beginning principles of true prayer from the One who knows it best.

Today’s passage, the Shema (from the Hebrew word “hear”), is a confession of faith recited every day by pious Jews and every Sabbath in the synagogues.

Today’s reading is called the Shema. Shema is the Hebrew word hear, the first word that begins this passage. This is the parenting assessment. The Shema is a confession of faith recited every day by pious Jews and every Sabbath in the synagogues.

Young parents, cherish every day. Time flies. The psalmist says it this way:

What does it take to conquer anxiety in your life? What three principles can enable you to face your fears and win? Those principles, distilled from a widely known story, are Ron Moore’s topic in this half-hour. Employ them and you’ll be equipped to battle the paralyzing fears that hinder your spiritual growth.

Life goes by fast. In the blink of an eye. And in the blink of an eye, our children grow up. There is not a moment to lose.
