Hello and welcome back to the show. I just love doing this show. I have so many of you all over the world, writing me and telling me what you are getting out of it. It has been a surprise to me that it is men and women both because when we started this show it was really supposed to just be for women but it has not worked out that way. I probably have easily as many men watching as women, so when I do these lessons I have to think about how does it apply to a man

Are you growing in the Lord? Can you tell that God is challenging you through these lessons? I can tell He is challenging me. I do not teach things that I have not either lived myself or I go to it right after I teach the lesson and God is helping me prepare ahead of time. I do not ever do anything just blind. I listen, I hear, I say “What do you want?” I have kept all of my teachings for 35 years and I have them. I have them on my computer; I have them in hard copy.

years, and Elijah, who had been dead for thousands of years, both appeared on a mountain with Him and talked to Him about His upcoming death and what was going to happen. That was a pretty big thing to have happen. Sometimes right after you have had a really big high, you are not guarded or protected enough. Then something can happen and you totally lose it. All of your Christianity goes out the window. Even then Jesus was in control of His anger and in control of getting fed up with them. The Bible says, “When they arrived at the

I am so glad you watch this show. A lot of you write me, e-mail or call me, and tell me how much this is meaning to you. If you could see it from my point of view, you would know how that thrills me. I pray so much about these shows before I do them. The people that help me produce them, the camera men and the director, all help me and we all pray together. We really want to touch lives. We want this to be a show that makes a real difference in people’s lives. A lot

We are studying delightful characters of the Bible in Pillar Seven, Men and Women of the Bible Speak to People of the 21st Century. The same things happened then that happens now. They had family issues and relationship issues just like we do. It will be so interesting when we get to heaven and can talk to these people, and we find out that nothing was really different. Everything was the same. It has been amazing to me as I have traveled round the world and talked to people. I have discovered they are all pretty much alike. Most people

Have you ever been betrayed by a friend? Have you ever known that feeling of shock, dismay, anger and puzzlement? You asked, “What happened? We were friends. Why would they do this?” Today we are going to study someone in the Bible who was betrayed by a friend. It is one of the deepest hurts you can feel. Why is that? When you have been betrayed by a friend, you have had a relationship with someone, trusted them, confided in them, and walked along beside them. You thought you knew what they were like and what they would do. Maybe

It is wonderful to learn about Jesus. There is just not anyone like Jesus, is there? He can change your life in an instant. He can answer a prayer in an instant. God loves you so much. You are very, very special to God. He even directed you to this teaching because he wanted to talk to you. He had something he wanted to say to you. Today we are talking about heroes and insignificant people. Everybody loves a hero. We like to watch sports heroes, movie heroes, book heroes, but not everybody is a hero. One of the recent lessons

We are talking today about leaders, but these are leaders from nowhere. Sometimes you think, “Oh, leaders are just born. They already know how to do it and have all of the right advantages. They know the right people. They went to the right colleges. They got the right breaks. Of course they are leaders and that is how it always happens to a leader.” That is not true. Leaders can come out of nowhere. Leaders can come from the smallest, tiniest town. I heard this little story: “When God had his hand full of talent seeds, he threw them
