PAUL HARVEY “IF I WERE THE DEVIL”

Discussed by Paul Harvey

Paul Harvey was one of the greatest radio personalities of all-time. His voice brought even the toughest football-loving men to tears during a past Super Bowl during the “Why God Made a Farmer” Dodge Ram Pick-up TV commercial.

But we found a clip of one you might not have heard before. Please listen below.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

When was the last time you were in the presence of God – without distractions or interruptions? Pastor Jarrett shares about Evangelist Leonard Ravenhill. What was inscribed on his tombstone? (Weird question – but it’s important!)

Do you desire to be holy? What keeps us from being holy? What keeps us from being in the presence of God? Of course, sin does, but what else keeps us from being all that we can be in Christ? Pastor Jarrett compares our lives to Little League and God to the World Series.

PRAYER

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

Heavenly God,

We bow before you in humility, for you alone are due our allegiance. Remember not our rebellion and insolence.

O Lord, you are our God. We will serve you and obey your voice.

Speak clearly to each saint the words of life found in your precepts. Open our understanding to your ways.

O Holy Spirit, teach us how to disciple those called by the name of Christ.

May we be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks for a reason for the hope of salvation found in us.

Today, fulfilling the II Chronicles 7/14 pledge, let us humble ourselves and pray earnestly seeking your face, O Lord.

May we repent and turn from any wicked way.

O Lord, hear our pleas, forgive our sins, and heal our land.

For we pray by and through the precious name of Jesus Christ,

Amen
