“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” John 10:27-28 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/MM_2026_04_25_God-Our-Companion.mp3 In each of the six verses in Psalm 23, David describes God’s character, which directly correlates with the names of God.

“Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.

We have blended our beliefs with the cultural and secular world, mixing percepts and concepts that will never work together. It is like oil and water. Oil is lighter and floats to the top. Li...

“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” Proverbs 20:5 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/MM_2025_02_28_Purpose-of-Heart.mp3 We know that out of the heart proceed all the issues of life, but how does that relate to a heart's purpose?

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with the endurance the race that is set before us.” Hebrews 12:1 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MM_2025_01_31_Repression.mp3 The important point laid out here is that we need to see how those who have gone before lived and overcame the snares of self.

Rather than accepting the fact that we are called to lay down our lives for others in ser...

“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” 2 Timothy 4:3-4 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/MM_2025_01_03_Modren-Psychology.mp3 Modern psychology is the perfect substitute for God playing in our lives with our own intellect and reasoning.

“Don’t let others spoil your faith and joy with their philosophies, their wrong and shallow answers built on men’s thoughts and ideas, instead of on what Christ has said. For in Christ there is all of God in a human body; so you have everything when you know Christ and you are filled with God through your union with Christ. He is the highest Ruler, with authority over every other power.” Colossians 2: 8-9 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/MM_2025_12_20_Tools-of-Vain-Philosophy...

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake.

“Do not lie one to another since you have put off the old man with his deeds.” Colossians 3:9 - How many of us have experienced The Blame Game: - “It’s your fault”, “You made me so mad”. - ”You hurt my feelings, or you don’t meet my needs.” -

You have left your old sinful life and the things you did before.” Colossians 3:9 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/MM_2025_11_29_Secular-Lies.mp3 Biblical meaning of a lie: To practice deceit, falsehood, and treachery either by word or action. It is the exact opposite of the truth. The sanctity of truth is fundamental in biblical teaching since it is based on the nature and character of God. Therefore, to despise truth is to despise God, and the S...

“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the traditions of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ” Colossians 2:8 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/MM_2025_11_22_Goals-of-Secular-Humanism.mp3 What comprises vain philosophy and empty deceit?

And knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/WTW_2025_11_15_Running-the-Race-Well-1.mp3 Our world, in general, has lost or denied the fear of the Lord. Without that wisdom, we are open to man’s wisdom, and the most common definition is “Humanism: faith in man, in science, in education.” Man will use reason, not divine revelation, as the guide for moral action and education, r...
