Listen to God's Warnings!: Overcomer Kevin Sorbo's Story and Biblical Examples

Note: I originally began writing this post back in 2021. While my personal journey and vocabulary have shifted since then as a Messianic believer, the core message of listening to Our Father's's warnings remains timeless. I wanted to share this completed piece with you today just as it was originally laid on my heart.

Jesus Take the Wheel!

When people invite Christ to live in their hearts, they frequently start hearing the urgings of God more clearly. It is extremely important to pay attention to the urgings of the Holy Spirit, as Kevin Sorbo discovered to his sorrow. It is also reassuring to know that even when we make the mistake of disregarding warnings, God can take our mess and turn it into a message.

This post features Biblical examples of people who did not listen to God's warnings, an excellent teaching on how to hear God more clearly, plus an interview where actor Kevin Sorbo shares his story of healing after disregarding a warning, and the song in my heart today — Jesus Take the Wheel.

Sharing Your Faith with Children: Which Bible is Best for Families?

Many people stick strictly to one specific version of the Bible, but as a teacher, I love keeping a variety of editions on hand to compare. I am constantly on the lookout for fresh, engaging formats that bring the Word to life for young minds.

Do you know which Bible more Christian schools and churches recommend to families over any other Bible?  One look was all it took for this one to become a personal favourite of mine!  It is truly entrancing, and it has a wonderful way of getting even the weariest heart excited about reading scripture!

Finding Comfort in a Thrift Store Treasure

Modern Cannabis - Deadly Deceiver

Recently, while praying about the heartbreaking reality of young people dying by suicide, a prompting came into my heart to 'Look in the book.' When I opened my Bible, my eyes fell on a startling phrase

There is death in the pot!'

Surprised and curious, I did a bit of online sleuthing and found out that the use of modern cannabanoid substances is being linked to more and more suicides!

2 Kings 4:40 Ancient Tragedy Points to Solution for Modern Problem

 In the story, a group of men gather for a communal meal. They shred an unrecognized wild vine into the cooking pot and sit down to eat. They are not trying to harm themselves, and no one is trying to poison them. They are intentionally consuming a meal they fully believe is safe, nourishing, and good. It is only after they begin to eat that they realise a hidden, toxic element is present, causing them to cry out in terror: “Man of God, there is death in the pot!”

Man of God- There is Death in the Pot! Image symbolizing the snake in the garden saying : Surely you will not die combined with 2 Kings 4:40 created using Gemini Ai.

This ancient text offers a profound, sobering metaphor for a modern-day crisis: the intentional consumption of high-potency cannabis products by individuals who fully believe they are doing something completely harmless.

The Illusion of Safety

🚨 Urgent Prayer Request for Venezuela 🚨

Heavenly Father, we lift up the people of Venezuela after the devastating 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that struck north-central regions, including Caracas and La Guaira. Lord, over 3,600 precious lives have been lost, more than 16,000 people are injured, and tens of thousands have been left homeless or are still missing under the rubble.

We pray for your comfort over grieving families, strength for the search and rescue teams working around the clock, and urgent provision of medical care, clean water, and shelter for those in temporary camps. Bring hope and honour into this dark hour.

We ask this in the name of Your Son - Yeshua HaMashiach

Amen
