More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
A Life of Prayer #21 -- James 1:26-27 -- Looking for some real religion?
I love the way James hooks me with his statements. I don't know if he has such a way with words or if it's just the Spirit of God planting the seed in my soul. But from "Consider it pure joy with troubles come your way" to "Be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger" to "God has chosen the poor of the world to be rich in faith" and know it's his definition of real religion. Real religion is caring for orphans and widows in trouble and keeping yourself uncorrupted Caring for orphans and widows...and refusing to be corrupted by the world.
In our culture, those two challenges go hand in hand. Real religion is more than sitting in a church building, listening to the people sing or a pastor preach. It's making a difference in the lives of people in need. Are you looking for some real religion?
