IT’S TIME TO GET OUT THERE AND SAVE AMERICA

Discussed by Dr. Alex McFarland
with Alex McFarland Ministries (www.alexmcfarland.com/)

Amid the mountain of the mundane, on November 3, every adult who can legally vote has the responsibility to go and help save our nation.

Today, Dr. Alex McFarland reminds us that it is our duty and privilege to vote in America – and EVERY SINGLE Christian should be voting!

Click here to read Dr. McFarland’s encouraging article on this topic.

Share it with you pastor! Share it with your small group! Share it with everyone! Let’s flood the polls nationwide with Christian voters this November!

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What do most Christians not like about politics that causes them to stay home? Dr. McFarland reminds us that voting doesn’t mean we are putting our full trust in a man or woman because they are flawed, sinful human beings. We are placing our trust in the Almighty Father who will guide those we elect to do the right thing.

Why is the younger generation gravitating towards government as their savior and provider?

What countries are currently ruled by Socialism or Communism? How are their economies? How are the people treated? How has Socialism or Communism worked in the past?

Why should Christians vote? Dr. McFarland reveals some startling declarations/promises from Democrat candidates. Christians MUST vote this November!

WAITING

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 1

DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GOING THROUGH LIFE JUST…WAITING? WAITING FOR THE DOCTOR? WAITING FOR SOMETHING AT WORK? WAITING FOR YOUR KID’S ACTIVITY TO BE OVER? WAITING FOR THAT AMAZON PACKAGE? WHAT’S WRONG WITH WAITING? WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT WAITING?

Mark Lanier will be back in Romans SOON but for now, he is still doing some one-off lessons – and the one this week on waiting on the Lord’s timing REALLY hit close to home for me.

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:

What is wrong with waiting? Mark says this to counter: “Waiting is a problem to be solved – a failure of the system” and shares a great lesson he learned during his latest trial.

WAITING IS WOVEN INTO THE BIBLE

How does the Bible treat waiting?

How does God treat waiting?

Does God work around waiting or does He work through it?

Mark begins to share a timeline of waiting from Scripture. He will continue tomorrow.

DON’T LOSE WEIGHT

Discussed by Dr. Brent Taylor
with First Baptist Church at the Fields (https://www.firstfields.org/)

Day 1

WHY DO NAMES MATTER? WHY DO WE PLACE SUCH IMPORTANCE ON WHAT WE NAME OUR CHILDREN? DO NAMES CARRY WEIGHT? BUT THE REAL QUESTION IS: WHY DOES IT MATTER HOW WE SPEAK THE NAME OF JESUS AND THE NAME OF GOD?

This week, Dr. Brent Taylor shares his thoughts about the commandment found in Exodus 20:7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.”

Dr. Brent Taylor is the Senior Pastor at First Baptist Church at the Fields in Carrollton, Texas.

Find Dr. Brent Taylor’s sermon here.

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

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

What happened on March 27, 2022 that captured people’s attention? What happened the next day? Dr. Taylor reminds us of the shocking situation that showed the entire world that “names matter”.

What is the point of the Ten Commandments? Do you follow them or do you feel like they restrict your freedom?

Have you ever taken the Lord’s name in vain? Dr. Taylor offers a warning and a little levity toward the end of the segment today…

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, simply text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

PRAYER

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

Gracious and Merciful Father,

Thank you for taking away the chains of sin and eternal death that gripped me so tightly.

Father, your plan was to place my sins on your son, who carried them to the cross. Not just for me, but for all those who believe.

Today, I may be the only glimpse someone has of you. May I be bold in word and action, sharing the love Jesus has for them.

And, Father, may I love others as Jesus loves me. May I care for others as Jesus cares for me. May I pray for others as Jesus prays for me. May I encourage others as Jesus encourages me. May I help others as Jesus helps me.

Holy Spirit, lead me in counseling others by being honest, direct, and respectful.

May your will be accomplished in me today, Lord – not mine.

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

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

Amen
