1) Jesus then instructs Paul to stand up, indicating that Paul had been knocked down. As we understand from other parts of his testimony, Paul was knocked down and blinded. Jesus then tells him to get up because they have work to do. Jesus appeared to Saul with a purpose, just as he appears to each of us with a purpose. The primary purpose was to t…

A) Worth noting is the reality that God will judge everyone who has spoken harshly against Him. Those who speak about God in a dismissive manner will discover that their words will come back to haunt them. There are no atheists in foxholes, and there will be no atheists when someone stands before God either. B) Jude concludes this section by making…

1) I felt an urge from the Lord to share this specific message. We've examined it from various perspectives and will continue to do so in the future. There needs to be a mutual understanding between you, me, and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit regarding our relationship. This understanding is that we are summoned to commune with God, the Father, t…

A) “And do not take your Holy Spirit from me.” It’s often misunderstood that the Holy Spirit, manifested here on Earth, is indeed the presence of God. While our mortal and finite limits prevent us from fully understanding God’s immortality and infinity, we comprehend that the more the Holy Spirit is within us, upon us, and around us, the more God i…

1) Romans 5:20 states that Abraham's faith never wavered. Abraham didn't doubt that God would fulfill His promise. In fact, Abraham's faith grew stronger and stronger, which is a challenge for us. When something doesn't come to pass the way we think it should, we should grow even stronger in our belief. 2) In verse 21, it states He was fully convin…

Dave delves into a deliberate discourse on the paradox of reflecting on the past while striving to progress. This reflection comes after engaging with his book. In the midst of producing an audiobook for “Broken for His Glory,” David addresses the theme of advancing beyond suffering. A common pitfall is to dwell excessively on the past, idealizing …

1) We continue in Genesis, Chapter 4, Verse 18, which begins some genealogical processes. Enoch starts to have children, one of whom is Methuselah, Enoch's grandson, and the person who lives the longest in the entire Bible. Enoch's great-grandson is Lamech, who we will find out is somewhat unpleasant, like, yuck! 2) We learn that Lamech marries two…

A) In this passage, there is a twist. Paul lists these things by the influence of the Holy Spirit, making mention that these people can ALSO enter the doors of the church. So, be aware of these evil characteristics. They are the fruit of false teachers, and of their followers. The outward looks good, but the inward is evil. B) David speaks of the c…

1) It's Friday, time for our DDDDD's. We begin with a classic from Exodus. As we observe the world around us, we call upon the Lord, hoping for a swift response. However, His definition of 'quick' and 'swift' may differ from ours. Yet, we must remember the Biblical truth: God hears us. Even if we perceive His response as slow, He hears us and provi…

A) An interesting turn occurs in this epistle when Job is referenced. Job’s perseverance, viewed through the lens of the New Testament reflecting on the Old Testament, is noteworthy. From Chapter 3 to Chapter 31, Job’s attitude was to stand before God and have his moment. He didn’t quit; he challenged. Although he was out of his league, he was at l…

1) As we delve deeper into the Book of Acts, we find ourselves at chapter 26, verse 15, where Paul reviews his testimony about his encounter with Jesus. It's important to understand that scripture is a record of humanity's encounters with God. I've shared my own testimony over 100 times, and each time, the emphasis varies based on the context. This…

A) The purpose of these references is to underscore that the Lord God is coming to pass judgment, and He will execute that judgment on everyone. There are two major points to note: firstly, the Lord is coming, and He is on His way, regardless of whether you believe He is or not. He will come collectively, but before that, He will come for individua…

1) Christianity is replete with profound principles and transformative encounters. We are truly blessed and should acknowledge that many events in our lives are designed to foster a partnership with God. This partnership is evident in how God conveyed the Bible through humans, how He communicates His message to people, and how we live our daily liv…

A) In Psalm 51:11, David pleads, “Do not cast me away from your presence.” This thought is profoundly dramatic. To be cast away from God’s presence equates to being in hell, denied the privilege of being in the presence of our Creator. This is indeed a form of destruction. It’s not merely a theological declaration, but a passionate desire of David’…

1) At the core of Romans 4:18 is Abraham's response to God's promise that he would become the father of many nations. Abraham believed God, and this response is how we need to engage with God on a daily basis. When God communicates something to us through His word, we need to believe Him. 2) The next portion of the verse is mind-blowing. We are enc…

A) In Matthew 18:1, Jesus clarifies to His disciples that the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven is likely not one of them. The disciples audaciously ask, “Which of us is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” This question is astonishing, as they seem to believe that one of the twelve could be on par with figures such as Moses or Abraham. But past…

1) Not for lack of effort, but today's show doesn't even come close to what David planned. It starts off with a phenomenal testimony from Roslyn about someone she is connected to and how that person gave their heart to Jesus Christ over the weekend. It just doesn't get better than that. 2) David passionately discusses the need for all believers to …

A) Looking at the list given by the apostle, it manifests that every one of these is currently in play. Lovers of self are not about homosexuality. That is a separate sin. This is the sin of self, being in the place of God. Think Garden of Eden. Disobedient, unthankful, unholy, unloving, and unforgiving. We are, in and out of the church, masters of…

1) The David Spoon experience is coming to a close with yet another amazing Friday. When our brother Sergio calls, he immediately asks two serious inquiries. What may have caused Arron's two sons to be slain when they offered up fire that was foreign or strange? This brings us to the second question: How symbolic is fire, or how emblematic is fire …

A) The Apostle refers to the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as excellent examples for us. These great men and women of God spoke God’s truth and endured hardships such as imprisonment, persecution, and even being thrown into a pit. Despite these challenges, they never denied their words nor cursed God. They were blessed due to their clo…

1) As we delve into the Book of Acts, we find ourselves in Chapter 26, Verse 8. Paul has just finished explaining to King Agrippa that his sect, the Pharisees, to which he belonged, shares the same fundamental hope as the 12 tribes of Israel. This hope is the reason Israel is supposed to worship God Almighty day and night. Paul then poses a questio…

A) Resuming our discussion with Jude, starting from verse 14, we encounter a verse that has sparked some controversy, albeit for no apparent reason. Jude cites the First Book of Enoch to highlight that even their own prophets - not the prophets of the Lord - have clearly stated that the individuals Jude has been discussing are malevolent and dark. …

1) If I were to poll the audience in radio land, I would find that many people agree with this statement that Job makes: "A man’s days are few and full of trouble." Keep in mind, we spent a year and a half reviewing the entire Book of Job. We should understand that in the beginning, Job was stellar. He started strong. His first two responses were s…

A) Psalm 51, verse 10, is a personal prayer I recite every day during my devotions: “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” I cannot create my own clean heart; I need God to create it, develop it, and sustain it within me. The next part of the verse, “renew a right spirit,” implies that sometimes the spirit I operat…

1) Verse 16 underscores that faith is the cornerstone. Our actions in the kingdom are driven by our faith. Faith is the initiator, and the fruits of that faith follow. Faith is the seed, and the works are the fruits that sprout from this seed. Everything begins with faith. It's the only way to please God, and it's what He expects from His children.…

A) Today's show comes after some severe weather in Dallas, with major storms all over the DFW area. The show opens with prayer for the many needs of our listeners. Also, prayers for others' health and healing, as well as their safety. David takes the time to declare the biblical truth that through past, current, and future (or potential) disasters …
