For the past 54 Episodes IMR has brought you broadcast pod excellence (cough, cough, wink, nod). Well, maybe not. But what we HAVE tried to do is tackle important topics in a never-before-tackled-unconventional-not-your-grandmother’s-christian-radio type way. Honest conversation + FUN + Biblical principles. But there is one thing lacking, and we’re about to change that. Listen for the “Best Of” and for a look to the future. Ready? Let’s GO!
John wraps up his letter to his children. Like the close of any letter, what’s written before the final sign-off is typically heart felt and important. This is the case here. The Holy Spirit through John adds a layer to this masterful letter - and gives us something to chew on.
1 John 5:18-21
John tells us to not pray for those committing a sin leading to death, which begs the question: What IS that sin anyway? And, have I committed it? Is there hope? An episode with a lot of practical applications as we pray for others and take personal inventory.
1 John 5:16
Rom 2:24
Hebrews 10:26
Herews 6:4
1 John 1:5-10
How d I know if my prayers are answered? Other people seem to have pretty good success, with ‘doors opening’, and amazing answered prayers stories. How about you? Yes? No? Here’s how to make sure your prayers are ALWAYS answered. GUARANTEED! 1 John 5:13-15
1John 5:6-10 is possibly the most debated passage in the New Testament. Does it even belong? Why does it matter? Either way, the context itself is revolutionary for us.
We celebrate when we see athletes make even the slightest reference to scripture. “Hey - he’s one of US!” It’s encouraging when someone quotes the scriptures in a positive way. At the same time, how do we put the true meaning of Philippians 4:13, Romans 8 and 1 John 5:4 into practice? Did God give us those verses to help us improve our jump shot? Run a mile faster? Move up the corporate ladder? Or… something BIGGER?
When you lay awake at night, do you think about meeting your Maker? Are you afraid? If not, you’ve probably learned a valuable lesson about love. If so, here’s something that will help you out. Our text is 1 John 4:18 -5:3.
How do you know if you are abiding in Him? Abiding after all is synonymous with being “in” Christ. It’s easy to say “I’m abiding”. Do we take it for granted? Listen to find out.
1 John 4:7-11. A slap on the back, a “How you ‘doin’?” That’s love, right? Meh. Not really. There’s love. And then there’s love. The kind of love we thought we had in Jr. High isn’t the same as what we have now, right (hopefully)? As Christians there’s only ONE guaranteed way to learn how to grow from Jr. High type love to the true adult kind. And, there is a love that ONLY Christians can give. No-one else. Period. Ready to grow up? Let’s go!
Can a slave who has been freed not know it? Can a person who has been forgiven much not love much? Can an adopted child take their situation for granted? Can a person, after realizing how much they’ve been forgiven still act cavalierly toward his / her fellow man?
In this episode we ask some tough questions that if answered honestly can have impactful results in us and those around us.
And, we find time to have some fun reintroducing “Christian Radio”. Maybe a new low for “Christian Radio”. But really, is there anywhere to go but UP? Find out!
1 John 3:1-3
