Street Corner Don Podcast

We look at Matthew 22 and what Jesus taught about the separation of church and state. It's not what you think.

Today we are reading the parable of the wedding feast, with an emphasis on the poor sap who got thrown out! What about us? Are we the baddies?

Bible lessons from this weekend include, "Making Tyrants Tremble," "Fearless Faith," and "It's Not Your Vineyard." I also talk about making new friends in the neighborhood.

Jesus tells his disciples the exciting news that he is going to be tortured and killed. But that doesn't keep them from fussing over who's most important. It is important that we focus on things above. After all that's where we're going to live someday.

Sometimes, what seems unfair to us is exactly the right thing to do. This is especially true if God is doing it. We must submit ourselves to what is best according to his will.

Reminding people of my mission: encouraging regular lay people in the church to be Christ's ambassadors in public. We must learn to speak up instead of waiting for the"professionals" to do it for us. I will be aiming to do a daily podcast to better encourage you to be faithful. In this episode I also talk about Matt Walsh's documentary, "What Is A Woman." It is the very template for provocative signage.

Why I've been missing, but what I am doing.

I talk about Rod Dreher's book, Live Not By Lies, and being willing to suffer in the near future.

I will have to postpone the live Zoom Bible study until May, but we can talk about the subject matter NOW. In the first half of this episode I will talk about the foreign film, The Lives of Others. It's a moving story of how a secret police spy becomes sympathetic to his subjects and starts covering for them. The second half is about your mission to the Promised Land.

Soon I am going to be having a zoom Bible study called the long game. It's about not letting things sneak up on us. Is time to do the important things before they become urgent. In case you hadn't noticed right now things are getting pretty urgent. But we can prepare for the future.

8200 people per day die across the US, but the only ones we seem to care about or the Thousand or so who died of Coronavirus. Meanwhile, all of these people slip into eternity. Most of them are unprepared. What are we doing about this?

We cannot just wait for people to ask us about the gospel. After all the world is more than willing to tell you all kinds of crazy things without you asking them.

So much of our life is consumed by politics. And that politics is driven by discontent. Consider how the Gospel can cure this.

Don does all this Bible study and preparation for himself, not his audience! Be found faithful, whether you succeed or not.

This world is talking about the great reset, but we need to be doing the factory reset! That means we need to be going back to the beginning, to what God really intended the church to be.

Cultural appropriation has been a great and glorious thing for centuries. The culture of the Bible as informed our own culture, but this generation seems intent on rejecting it and creating the unrooted nonsense of Woke Ideology. We must stand and defend the truth, but we must do it peaceably with our words.

Some people have wrecked their reputation and now we are suffering for it. Social media platforms are under Fire and being taken down, keeping us from sharing ideas with one another. Don't be part of the problem! Guard your reputation jealously, but make sure you spend it on the right thing. That would be the gospel.

A part of my Ministry is helping the church to see that we have failed by not going out to reach people.

This episode deals with the struggle to stay on message with the Gospel. It is so easy to get diverted by politics. And yet we cannot just ignore politics. We must connect the dots between the Gospel and social issues.

Are we looking for shortcuts, or do we really want to obey God? He has prepared works for you from before the foundations of the Earth. You may want to look those up.

Don is making to much money cleaning windows! Now he is looking for creative ways to expense out his ministry costs.

Politics is the American Idol. It is a dark shadow in the lives of many people, and it keeps them from the light of Christ.

Are we informing our culture, or is the culture informing us? We must take the scriptures and bring them to our social media, our blog. Sharing my post are a good start!

Do you understand what Jesus saved you from, and does your love for Him show it? Has He changed your life, or does He just occupy dusty corner? Evangelism does not end at getting people saved. It includes making them into disciples.

Don talks about staying on message, on task, on purpose. It's easy to be distracted by the world and by church busywork.

What I have been learning from the changes I have made in the website, and how important it is to combat woke ideology.

Don talks about drawing people away from politics, toward Christ, and into discipleship.

Social media is becoming so censorious that we need to go back to print and personal appearances. And we can't wait for our current leaders to give us orders. We need to be the leaders. Prepare yourself to be a light to others!

God is a self-employed window cleaner who is saving the world in his spare time! He stands on a street corner with signs that direct people to his website. Not only is he trying to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but he is trying to inspire you to do something original to reach sinners for Christ.
