  • DWDP : Gen 4, 6-8 Mastering Sin

    What does your face reveal about your spiritual condition? Dr. Robert Jackson dives deep into Genesis 4:6-8, exploring God's profound warning to Cain that remains startlingly relevant for believers today: "Sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must master it."

    Drawing from personal anecdotes—including being mistaken for a pastor while dressed in hunting gear—Dr. Jackson demonstrates how our countenance inevitably reveals what's in our hearts. When filled with the Holy Spirit, Christians radiate a distinctive presence that others notice even without words. This "aroma of Christ" should be characteristic of all believers, not just pastors or ministry leaders.

    The message takes a fascinating turn as Dr. Jackson unpacks Romans 6, revealing the spiritual mechanics behind our freedom from sin's dominance. Through our identification with Christ's death and resurrection, believers have died to sin's power and been set free from its enslavement. This doesn't mean temptation vanishes, but rather that we now possess both the choice and the spiritual power to resist sin's pull. As Dr. Jackson crystallizes this truth: "Sin has no power over me unless I grant it power."

    A compelling illustration about lion tamers drives home the message's urgency. Like a trained lion that still views its trainer as potential prey, sin continues to desire control over believers. Those who become prideful or careless about sin's power place themselves in grave spiritual danger. Sin, like a predatory lion, is always watching for moments when we let our guard down.

    Have you recognized the areas where sin crouches at your door? Listen now to discover the liberating truth that in Christ, you have already been given everything needed to live in freedom. Share this episode with someone struggling with habitual sin who needs to hear this message of hope and victory.

  • Ending Abortion: A Biblical Vision for Unity-An Interview with Dr. Matt Clark
    Jul 26 2025

    Send us a text

    Dr. Matt Clark, Executive Director of Personhood South Carolina, brings clarity, conviction, and a path forward for the pro-life movement in this compelling conversation about ending abortion in America.

    What makes this discussion unique is Clark's unflinching honesty about the current state of pro-life efforts. "The pro-life world is fractured," he explains, before laying out a biblical vision for victory built on eternal principles rather than political expediency. As both a practicing physician and pastor, Clark brings a dual perspective that grounds his advocacy in both scientific reality and spiritual conviction.

    At the heart of his message is a crucial distinction often overlooked in pro-life circles: the need to be both "100% pro-life" and "100% pro-dignity." This means not only protecting every child from conception without exception but also preserving their dignity through equal legal protection under law. Clark tackles the divisive arguments between incremental and abolitionist approaches with thoughtful biblical wisdom, offering a third way that could unify disparate pro-life groups.

    The conversation doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths. Clark addresses head-on why South Carolina's legislature remains "paralyzed" despite having a GOP supermajority and the legal authority to end abortion post-Dobbs. He also lovingly but firmly challenges specific pro-life organizations he believes have adopted problematic positions, demonstrating how to disagree with grace while maintaining clarity on principles.

    Perhaps most powerful is Clark's call for a Christ-like approach to advocacy, modeled after William Wilberforce, whose eloquence and character won over even his fiercest opponents. "We need to be like Jesus, full of grace and truth," Clark urges, admitting his own past failures in this area.

    Whether you're a seasoned pro-life advocate seeking fresh perspective or someone wanting to understand this complex issue more deeply, this conversation offers valuable insights that transcend typical political talking points and get to the heart of what's at stake: the lives and dignity of our most vulnerable neighbors.

  • DWDP: Gen 4 - 6 Why are you Angry?
    Jul 23 2025

    Send us a text

    Why does God ask us about our anger? What does our countenance reveal about our hearts? These profound questions form the foundation of today's powerful devotion from Genesis 4:6-7.

    When the Holy One asks Cain, "Why are you angry?", all human justifications fall flat. We can explain away our anger to others—citing violated rights, hurt feelings, or personal offenses—but these explanations crumble before the Righteous Judge. Dr. Jackson guides us through Scripture's portrayal of God's righteous anger toward Israel's idolatry and sin, demonstrating how divine anger always flows from perfect holiness and justice.

    But what about our anger? The devotion draws a crucial distinction between righteous indignation that fights for others' rights versus self-centered rage over personal slights. Jesus' temple-cleansing anger protected His Father's house and defended the exploited. Similarly, anger that motivates constructive action against injustices like abortion can be appropriate when channeled productively.

    The episode features a powerful testimony from Jimmy McPhee, who spent 46 years in prison. He reveals that 20-30% of inmates are incarcerated for crimes of passion stemming from unbridled anger—with many remaining angry despite years behind bars. Jimmy's own transformation came only through an encounter with Jesus in solitary confinement, highlighting that true heart change requires divine intervention.

    Perhaps most striking is Dr. Jackson's exploration of how our facial expressions reveal our hearts before we speak. Whether observing toddlers fighting over toys or adults in conflict, our countenance betrays our inner condition. Christians filled with the Holy Spirit carry a radiant presence—"the aroma of Christ"—that stands in stark contrast to Cain's fallen countenance that foreshadowed violence.

    Listen to discover how God addresses the lion of sin crouching at our door, and join us next week as Dr. Jackson continues with practical wisdom for "lion taming and mastering sin." Subscribe now for weekly biblical devotions that transform your understanding of Scripture and daily life.
