  • Why Does It Hurt So Much?
    Oct 26 2024

    Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses the pain, discomfort, and troubles that we all experience. He says that we all seem to be screaming, “why does it hurt so much?” Dr. Hall focuses on 2 Corinthians 1:3- 4, which tells us that God comforts us in all of our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we receive from God. We are warned not to fall into the trap of thinking that our heartbreak doesn’t register on God’s radar because so many others have gone through worse. God never sees our pain as minimal when compared to others. Dr. Hall warns that God gives purpose to our hard places and does not always remove our suffering. It is pointed out that the root of suffering and pain is drawing closer and nearer to Jesus. Dr. Hall quotes Christian apologist CS Lewis who wrote, “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain; it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world."

  • Detox
    Oct 19 2024

    Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, explores the modern miracle of medicine, liver transplantation. He describes how the organ, called the liver, provides critical substances to the human body and is also the organ that detoxifies harmful substances, even bacteria and viruses, into harmless products that are eliminated in our bile or urine. The organized church is seen as the liver organ for the body of believers. The functions of the organized church are described along with the things that can make the organized church, functioning as the liver organ of the body of believers, become toxic Dr. Hall discusses the disturbing trend of the number of believers in evangelical churches who do not believe basic Christian doctrines, meaning today’s evangelical church may need detoxification. The podcast concludes with the energizing promise of Christ, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18).Can be heard on all podcast search engines and seen on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/wYqxHxChYSY

  • Prayers That Work
    Oct 15 2024

    Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, addresses questions surrounding effective prayer, and whether God hears the prayers of those who have rejected Jesus as Lord and Savior. He points out that the Scripture says that God does not listen to the prayers of the wicked. God hears the prayers of the wicked and he knows exactly what they are praying because he is omniscient, all-knowing. But if unbelievers persist in wickedness God will not grant their requests. They pray in vain. Dr. Hall discusses how prayers that are acceptable to God are conditioned upon many things, including using the right words, living the right kind of life, and having the right kind of attitude. Having an attitude of humility, a forgiving spirit and the right motive are essential to prayers that work. He concludes the podcast by pointing out that God lives within believers as the Holy Spirit which means our prayers are God’s prayers, and that there is no gap between the prayer and the hearing of that prayer.

  • Empty Pews-Why?
    Oct 15 2024

    Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, addresses the decline in church membership and attendance that has been occurring since the 1970s. Today only three in 10 adults choose to attend church on a regular basis. And more than one-third of US young adults have no religious affiliation. He discusses how Generation Z, those under the age of 35, are a major part of the decline in church attendance. It is pointed out how mainline denominations have adapted heavily to modern secular thought, thus abandoning what the church could biblically speak to. Many Protestant churches have also embraced much of the skepticism about the reliability of the Bible and accounts of Christ’s life and death. Only 45% of evangelical Christians clearly affirm that a personal belief in, or relationship with, Christ is essential for eternal life. Dr. Hall responds to the question, “Is Jesus really the only way to God?” The challenge of choosing a church to attend is part of this podcast. Can also be seen on YouTube at:

  • Dancing with the Devil
    Sep 27 2024

    Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses the meaning of the phrase “Dancing with the Devil.” He defines the phrase as undertaking risky behavior and hanging out with risky people. He points out how the world encourages risky behavior and rejects God, the Bible, and Christianity. The devil is Satan and Dr. Hall uses several biblical examples to demonstrate how God’s children have been dancing with the devil since the beginning of time. Every time we sin, we are dancing with the devil and embracing evil. He points out how the whole world is dancing with the devil and that the devil plans to feed us with lies, deception, and discouragement. Several examples show how we are dancing with the devil in modern-day life. He uses Scripture that teaches us that God will not let us be tested beyond our abilities and will provide a way out if we have him in our hearts.

  • Voting and the Christian
    Sep 14 2024

    Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, uses the Apostle Paul’s teachings in Romans 13:1-7 as instruction on whether Christians should be voting in this election and what our attitudes should be toward civil authorities, including the thin blue line, our police officers and sheriffs. Dr. Hall explains what Paul meant when he wrote, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities.” The listeners are reminded that the Bible provides a long and respected tradition of civil disobedience. The civil disobedience that has been undertaken by Christians today is discussed. Paul wrote Romans 13 during the reign of the evil depraved Roman Emperor Nero. Paul’s message to Christians today is that we can simultaneously criticize the sins and shortcomings of political leaders while rendering them due honor for the God-ordained services they provide. Dr. Hall concludes this podcast with the assertion that no matter who wins the presidential election biblical teaching is calling on Christians to honor and respect that office.

  • An Election-Immorality
    Sep 7 2024

    Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, addresses the presidential election and the choices that the voters will make.

Some of it is related to the open border policies and other immoralities have to do with policies that appear to have been undertaken for political gain. He uses the story of the prophet Nathan addressing King David in the Old Testament as an example of how godly people must confront political leaders when immorality is present.

His attention then turns to the presence of transgenderism and gender identity issues that our government is promulgating. Dr. Hall examines the child sex trafficking that is occurring on our southern border as a result of the de facto open border. The podcast concludes with listeners being challenged to vote in this presidential election for the leader committed to ending immorality facilitated by our government.
