02-12-2025 part 2: Finding Peace in Troubling Times: A Dialogue with Dave and Brother Roger
Dr. David Spoon delves into the profound necessity of walking closely with the Lord, emphasizing that mere initiation of ideas, however spiritually inclined, often leads individuals astray if not accompanied by genuine partnership with God. He articulates a poignant critique of contemporary teachings that suggest a relinquishment of self-sacrifice, countering this notion with the assertion that true life is found in complete submission to Christ, as encapsulated in the ministry's guiding principle: "He must increase, and we must decrease." The episode further explores the tumultuous journey of faith, illustrated by Brother Roger's recent trials, which serve as a testament to the sustaining power of community and prayer in the face of personal loss. Through these discussions, we are reminded that while the world presents myriad challenges, our peace is firmly anchored in a relationship with Jesus Christ, who offers hope and assurance amidst life's adversities. This episode ultimately calls listeners to reflect on their own spiritual journeys, encouraging a deeper commitment to faith and service in the light of Christ's teachings.
The recent dialogue featured an insightful discourse between Dr. David Spoon and caller Brother Roger, who shared profound personal experiences amidst profound adversity. Brother Roger eloquently articulated the challenges he faced, particularly following the loss of his daughter and the health struggles within his family. This segment is not merely a recounting of struggles; it serves as a testament to the resilience of faith and the unwavering support of a community united in prayer. Dr. Spoon, resonating with Roger's sentiments, emphasized the importance of divine love and the strength it provides in times of tribulation, thereby inviting listeners to reflect on their spiritual journeys and the communal bonds that can uplift during periods of despair. This exchange ultimately underscores the podcast's core message: that in the face of life's tumultuous storms, faith provides an anchor, and community acts as a lifeline.
Takeaways:
- The essence of the Christian journey is to embrace the notion that God is ultimately in control, guiding our paths even amidst chaos.

And now for something completely different.
Speaker B:Here's what's coming up this hour on today's Experience.
Speaker B:It's wild and wonderful.
Speaker B:What's going to happen?
Speaker B:We have no idea.
Speaker B:Hey, let's sit back and enjoy the ride.
Speaker B:Can I get a Wowzer Bowser Wednesday because God is in charge of this crazy bus called the Christian Journey.
Speaker B:First, it's hard for me to explain why I feel it's necessary.
Speaker B:It is really hard to do this, to preach, teach, reach, and revisit certain lessons multiple times.
Speaker B:So I'm just being honest.
Speaker B:I'm not sure if it's because I need to hear it.
Speaker B:We need to hear it.
Speaker B:Someone needs to hear it, or perhaps we all need to hear it.
Speaker B:But when I sense an inclination, I really do my best to follow as best as I understand.
Speaker B:So next up, it's so easy for all of us nowadays to initiate.
Speaker B:By that, I mean, we come up with an idea, something we think is good.
Speaker B:Oftentimes it has more than just a little bit of goodness to it.
Speaker B:There's even possibly a spirituality to it that gives us some confidence, making us feel like we might want to be doing this thing in partnership with the Lord.
Speaker B:But as I was discussing with a friend recently, sometimes when we get to that place, we then start moving ahead without truly walking side by side with the Lord in it.
Speaker B:And so finally, there's some new teachings that have swung through the church somewhat, suggesting that people really don't have to die to themselves.
Speaker B:It's not that those teachers are evil.
Speaker B:They're just simply mistaken.
Speaker B:Jesus said, take up your cross and follow me.
Speaker B:He wasn't saying this so we could create the greatest life ever here in America.
Speaker B:He was teaching us that the way to find true life is to find our life fully in him.
Speaker B:To do that, we must fully die to ourselves.
Speaker B:That's why this ministry is called he must increase and we must decrease.
Speaker C:David Spoon's life has been an experience.
Speaker C:While growing up in a Jewish family, he made a wrong turn towards drug abuse.
Speaker C:Then David Spoon found Jesus Christ and his life completely changed.
Speaker C:The more he studied the gospel, the more he wanted to share his experiences with others.
Speaker C:After 35 years of ministry, David discovered a new path of service.
Speaker C:He he joined kaam and this radio program began.
Speaker C:You're about to hear the David Spoon Experience.
Speaker B:Welcome to the David Spoon Experience.
Speaker B:Local, national and heavenly talk.
Speaker B:Here's what else we're looking at during the show.
Speaker B:Lessons for surviving living and prevailing politics, entertainment and current events, personal revelations, spiritual observations of my life's Insanities and doy vey so much more.
Speaker B:Yeah, I did that quietly.
Speaker B:Haha.
Speaker B:All right, now remember, it's not professional radio.
Speaker B:And I'm stuck here because I'm gonna give two.
Speaker B:I still think that for Jam and Jacob, who is the nicest guy in professional radio.
Speaker B:I do like that title.
Speaker B:It might be sticking longer and longer, but also at this particular time, we'll give him one extra one.
Speaker B:And he's also the Speed Racer of professional radio.
Speaker B:Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer.
Speaker B:Go Speed Racer, go.
Speaker B:Okay, anyway, is this professional radio?
Speaker D:No, it is not, David.
Speaker D:And I am also the Yogi Bear and the Popeye.
Speaker D:Just naming some that you, you've taught me recently.
Speaker B:You have quite the repertoire in regards to professional radio, don't you?
Speaker B:I think you have more titles in professional radio than any person ever in professional radio.
Speaker B:So now you even have a new one called the Most Titled Person in Professional Radio.
Speaker B:Congratulations.
Speaker D:That's clever.
Speaker D:That's a good one.
Speaker D:I'll take that one.
Speaker B:All right, here's the bottom line.
Speaker B:It's not professional radio.
Speaker B:Just listen to the show.
Speaker B:Goodness, you guys are.
Speaker B:Well, first of all, the fact that you're listening to the show tells me everything about professional listening on your end.
Speaker B:But back to it.
Speaker B:Hey, what do you think?
Speaker B:That's what we want to know.
Speaker B:How can we bless you?
Speaker B:That's what we want to know.
Speaker B:What's taking place.
Speaker B:That's what we want to know.
Speaker B:So we can help bless and encourage one another as we see the day of the return of Jesus Christ, the day, the moment getting closer and closer and to encourage one another while that takes place.
Speaker B:So look, you can email us davidemustincrease.org or you don't have to, but you can, you can text us.
Speaker B: -: Speaker B: -: Speaker B:You can text us, but you don't have to.
Speaker B:But you can.
Speaker B: -: Speaker B: -: Speaker B:You don't have to, but you can.
Speaker B: -: Speaker B:By golly, you'll end up talking to Jammin Jacob.
Speaker B:Talking to Jim and Jacob is like waking up and feeling like you got a great night's sleep.
Speaker D:Thank you, David.
Speaker D:Happy Wednesday.
Speaker D:And I did get a great night's sleep.
Speaker B:Oh, that's very nice.
Speaker B:Good for you.
Speaker B:I'm very, very glad.
Speaker B:I Did not.
Speaker B:I was not woken up by the dog last night.
Speaker B:I will say that.
Speaker B:I will not say that about the night, night before.
Speaker B:I'm just saying last night we were not arisen by the dog, but apparently the night before, Noel told me, you know, Bert was up for like two hours.
Speaker B:I was like, he was.
Speaker B:Oh, I must have missed that.
Speaker D:So last night Bert said, I'll let you have a good night's sleep.
Speaker B:You can have one night.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:I don't think he quite gets this whole thing yet, but we're still working on him.
Speaker B:All right, so bottom line, why would you reach out to us?
Speaker B:We've told you multiple times.
Speaker B:Look, you can call us, you can text us, you can email us.
Speaker B:It could be for a praise report, some kind of testimony.
Speaker B:It could be for a prayer request, something you need prayer for and you need people to join you in it.
Speaker B:Let's do it.
Speaker B:Let's bring it to the Lord.
Speaker B:He's not just able, he's able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask, or think so, yeah.
Speaker B:Then let's do it right.
Speaker B:You might have something you just want to share, something that's on your heart, something that's on your mind.
Speaker B:Maybe you have an answer to this trivia going to be a little, little challenging for you here.
Speaker B: g to be coming out of Matthew: Speaker B:Do you know this trivia question?
Speaker B:A man was tied hand and foot and thrown outside into the darkness for showing up wearing the wrong clothes at an event.
Speaker B: Matthew: Speaker B:Was this event a baptism, a wedding, a burial, or a planting of seeds?
Speaker B:A man was tied hand and foot and thrown outside into the darkness for showing up wearing the wrong clothes.
Speaker B:At what event?
Speaker B:A baptism, a wedding, a burial, or a planting of seeds?
Speaker B:Your answer?
Speaker B: Matthew: Speaker B:In the meantime, if you do think you know, you are, as we have said, welcome to call in.
Speaker B: -: Speaker B:A man was tied hand and foot and thrown outside into the darkness for showing up wearing the wrong clothes.
Speaker B:At what event?
Speaker B:A baptism, a wedding, a burial, or a planting of seeds.
Speaker B:I find it interesting that bar Mitzvah was not one of those possibilities.
Speaker B:In the meantime, we're gonna do our DNA.
Speaker B:Okay, that was a joke.
Speaker B:DNA D stands for Draw closer to the Lord daily, every day.
Speaker B:We just were studying in the Psalms 61, verse 8 how David said he'd bring his daily vow.
Speaker B:We've studied multiple times how Jesus, when he taught people to pray, said, give us this day our daily bread.
Speaker B:There is a daily call to be connected to your creator.
Speaker B:It is something that is life giving.
Speaker B:And if it's avoided or if it's thwarted or you're distracted from it, it's life taking because you're not making the connection with why you were created in the first place.
Speaker B:It's like, wow, right?
Speaker B:Draw closer to the Lord daily.
Speaker B:And just so you can understand, the Bible says in James 4, 8, draw closer to the Lord and he will draw closer to you.
Speaker B:It's not that God can't just pop into your room and go, ha, ha, I'm here.
Speaker B:He wants you to want Him.
Speaker B:Do you understand that?
Speaker B:Who doesn't appreciate being appreciated?
Speaker B:Draw closer to the Lord daily.
Speaker B:D N Never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.
Speaker B:There is nothing I can't express my personal frustration in adequate terms.
Speaker B:We don't do a lot of politics as much as most people do.
Speaker B:We support them in everything they're doing.
Speaker B:They're doing their ministry, as the Lord has called them.
Speaker B:We're doing ours the best we can.
Speaker B:I do get more frustrated with the media than most people do because I just think that the majority of them are not journalists.
Speaker B:But instead of journaling, they create a narrative.
Speaker B:So they're propagandists.
Speaker B:There's no question.
Speaker B:They're creating narratives.
Speaker B:And they are the ones that try to shame people as though it's their job.
Speaker B:I don't think they quite understand they're working as agents, but it's not for God.
Speaker B:Never let them, the society, culture, the academics, the politicians or Hollywood or anybody shame you about Jesus Christ.
Speaker B:The only those that don't know him would even go down that route.
Speaker B:Think about that, right?
Speaker B:Never be ashamed of Jesus or his words and then a always be ready.
Speaker D:To serve.
Speaker B:Not so bogged down in life that you forget that other people matter, that other people, other brothers and sisters are important.
Speaker B:Do good to all people, the Bible says, especially to them of the household of God.
Speaker B:Carry one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Speaker B:Let your interest not just be on yourself, but others.
Speaker B:It's like, it's very specific.
Speaker B:There's no way around it.
Speaker B:We just need to try to get a little bit away from being superbly inwardly entrenched.
Speaker B:And some of that will call for you to care about family.
Speaker B:And some of that will call for you to care about people outside of those structures of family.
Speaker B:Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker B:Not just in the family circle, but outside of that.
Speaker B:Right, Right.
Speaker B:D Draw closer to the Lord daily and never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.
Speaker B:A Always be ready to serve.
Speaker B:There you go.
Speaker B:We do have somebody on the line, I guess, ready to answer the trivia, are they?
Speaker B:Or we got a prayer request.
Speaker D:So we have Brother Roger on the line.
Speaker B:Brother Roger on the line.
Speaker B:Let's send brother Roger through.
Speaker B:Knock, knock.
Speaker B:This is David.
Speaker B:Is this Brother Roger?
Speaker A:It's Brother Roger again.
Speaker B:Brother Roger again.
Speaker B:How art thou, sir?
Speaker A:I'm doing better, David.
Speaker A:I took a couple weeks off to just reflect on life and finding the love of God, my heart for everything he does.
Speaker A:His ways are above our ways.
Speaker A:Mysterious things to accomplish.
Speaker A:And one of the things I asked for the audience was to pray for strength.
Speaker A:Well, then God gave me challenges.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:Isn't it amazing how the Lord knows exactly how to do everything that we think we know how to do?
Speaker A:Well, that's kind of.
Speaker A:It's kind of like lifting weights.
Speaker A:Well, here's a little bit more weight that you want, some more strength.
Speaker A:Well, we're going to add a couple pounds on it.
Speaker B:That's a.
Speaker B:That's a great way to say it, though.
Speaker B:It's really, really very.
Speaker B:A good visual.
Speaker B:That's a good visual to say.
Speaker A:So, you know, God does work in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:I just thank the Lord that he hasn't given up on me, and he will never give up on me because I'm not going to give up on him.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:And he loves you so much.
Speaker B:And this is one of the things that's hard for.
Speaker B:We talked about this yesterday.
Speaker B:Some people, you know, God's love for you is not dependent on the circumstances that you're in.
Speaker B:It goes way past that.
Speaker B:It's just God's love is so superior, so committed, so eternal.
Speaker B:It never.
Speaker B:It never fades.
Speaker B:So that's excellent, Roger.
Speaker B:Excellent.
Speaker B:Really, really is really.
Speaker A:He loves me in spite of myself.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:And it was tough, you know, just a week before my wife had breast cancer surgery.
Speaker A:And then the week after, I lost my daughter, to guess it was pneumonia.
Speaker A:But I had talking to.
Speaker A:I had talked around the phone two days prior, asked her, I prayed with her and asked her her heart was right with the Lord.
Speaker A:And she said, yes, Daddy, my heart's right with the Lord.
Speaker A:So all I can do is say, you know, God got her Just in time.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:And you know what?
Speaker B:First of all, what a great family reunion that's going to be.
Speaker B:I mean, I'm just being honest.
Speaker B:It's like, you know, people talk about reunions.
Speaker B:That's going to be a reunion when you get to see her again and you're all together and you're doing your little dancy jig things on the streets of gold.
Speaker B:So powerful.
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker B:That is a part of the hope that we have as believers.
Speaker A:You know, with.
Speaker A:But I'm doing better.
Speaker A:I just.
Speaker A:It was a hard two weeks because I'm the one that had to do all the paperwork.
Speaker A:I had a.
Speaker A:She lives by herself in her little apartment, so I had to go down there and go through the apartment and, you know, different things.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:No, I'm not.
Speaker B:And we've been in text contact because we've been praying.
Speaker B:I've been praying for you daily.
Speaker B:I just.
Speaker B:You just know.
Speaker B:You know, this is you.
Speaker B:All right?
Speaker B:This is you and God.
Speaker B:This is you and God and your wife.
Speaker B:This is what it is right there.
Speaker B:All the people.
Speaker B:Things that people say.
Speaker B:It's like, I can be encouraging.
Speaker B:Anybody can be encouraged.
Speaker B:They can be discouraging.
Speaker B:People can do all that.
Speaker B:This is you, God, and your wife.
Speaker B:And this is the Lord just putting his hands, both his hands stretched out around the both of you, just keeping you protected while you're going through it, making sure that you get enough strength to push through, but also reminding you he's with you.
Speaker B:So powerful.
Speaker A:I'm finding out a lot of things that I guess it's difficult.
Speaker A:I've been in the ministry for.
Speaker A:I've been saved for 40 years, something like that, you know, I'm finding out that I still have room to grow.
Speaker B:Amen, brother.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:You and I can spend an hour and a half just discussing that one statement like, yep, yep, Little more on.
Speaker A:One of your fields.
Speaker A:He's still working on me to make me what I ought to be.
Speaker B:That's exactly right.
Speaker B:That's right.
Speaker B:It's your own Phil, by the way.
Speaker B:That is so good.
Speaker B:That is so good.
Speaker B:But you're right.
Speaker B:He's.
Speaker B:And it's not over.
Speaker B:And the big thing about that is that it's not done for you in the sense of it's not like I'll never see.
Speaker B:It's absolutely the other direction.
Speaker B:You're going to not only see her again, but you'll be together forever, Ever, ever.
Speaker B:And you did the best thing in the world.
Speaker B:Just making sure.
Speaker B:Hey.
Speaker B:Making sure everything's straight with you and the Lord.
Speaker B:Got it.
Speaker B:Good.
Speaker B:Good job.
Speaker B:Cool.
Speaker B:No, that's the most important thing, right?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I mean, I could sit here and name all the stuff that she's done in her life, but that one, I'm just going to name the last things that she did in her life and that she confessed.
Speaker A:The Lord Jesus Christ, she believed in her heart.
Speaker A:And you'll be saved.
Speaker B:That's right.
Speaker A:That's all.
Speaker A:That's all I'm gonna do.
Speaker B:That's right.
Speaker B:That's exactly.
Speaker A:I'm gonna mention all the other stuff.
Speaker A:That's a.
Speaker A:That's water under the bridge.
Speaker B:Yep.
Speaker A:You know?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Nothing.
Speaker A:Can't go.
Speaker A:You can't go back, David, and undo either bad.
Speaker B:Oh, let's see, we lose him.
Speaker B:Oh, oh, oh, Roger, call back.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:We're gonna hang out for him.
Speaker B:We gave him a couple of seconds because he could have.
Speaker B:Could have accidentally hit the button here.
Speaker B:We'll just hit the thing.
Speaker B:Give him a chance to call back here.
Speaker B:He's calling back right now.
Speaker B:Everybody take a deep breath.
Speaker B:For those that didn't figure out, Roger's daughter passed a couple weeks back.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Is he back there with us?
Speaker B:We're just going to verify.
Speaker B:He got zappo.
Speaker B:He got phone zappoed.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:Okay, so here he comes back right now.
Speaker B:Send him on through.
Speaker B:Can you do that?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:There we go.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Here he comes.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:There you go.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:Roger, you there?
Speaker A:I'm there.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Not sure what happened.
Speaker B:Doesn't matter.
Speaker B:So just keep going right back to what you were saying.
Speaker B:You have the floor.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Well, this.
Speaker A:You know, life is interesting.
Speaker A:Life is a journey.
Speaker A:God gave us a reason to have choices.
Speaker A:God gave us a reason to have choices.
Speaker A:Brother David.
Speaker A:We.
Speaker A:We make choices.
Speaker A:I think about King David and his life and his choices and what all.
Speaker A:And then repentance.
Speaker A:Repentance is important.
Speaker A:Very important.
Speaker A:Repent of your sins and you shall re.
Speaker A:Be forgiven.
Speaker B:Correct.
Speaker A:You know, Correct.
Speaker A:And confess your sin.
Speaker A:Now.
Speaker A:I don't.
Speaker A:I confess my faults, but I don't.
Speaker A:To my brothers and sisters, but I don't necessarily confess my sin except to God.
Speaker A:You know, I.
Speaker A:I have.
Speaker A:I have a lot of faults.
Speaker A:There's too many to name right now.
Speaker B:You're like the San Andreas faults, right?
Speaker B:There's just a lot of lines in there, right?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:And if it's.
Speaker A:But I'm not gonna get it.
Speaker A:I'm not gonna get there on all my good deeds.
Speaker A:No, not that I don't do good deeds.
Speaker A:I do good deeds, but that's not gonna help me a bit except what I believe in my heart.
Speaker A:God judges the heart of man.
Speaker A:Yes, he judges your heart.
Speaker A:He knows what's in your heart.
Speaker A:He sees your heart.
Speaker A:And if you don't know how to examine your heart, just go, just reflect on.
Speaker A:Hey, heart.
Speaker A:What's going on in there?
Speaker A:Do I really believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior?
Speaker A:Or.
Speaker A:If I got a doubt, and if you got a doubt, get rid of that doubt.
Speaker A:Get rid of any fear.
Speaker A:Get rid of anything that's blocking that.
Speaker A:Get rid of it.
Speaker A:Just say, no, I want to be.
Speaker A:I want you to be in my heart.
Speaker A:And he will come into your heart and purify your heart.
Speaker A:And he.
Speaker A:He destroys the sin that's in your heart.
Speaker A:When you ask him to enter in, the sin will be destroyed.
Speaker A:And that's where I'm at.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker A:All.
Speaker A:All my sin has been destroyed.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:You know, isn't it amazing that from each event, though the Lord builds upon each thing we go through to still advance his kingdom?
Speaker B:It's just, it's so.
Speaker B:I think we're really short sighted.
Speaker B:I think that's a fair way to say it.
Speaker B:We don't see what he sees.
Speaker A:And so, you know, he's advancing his kingdom.
Speaker A:Brother David.
Speaker A:Yes, he's advancing his kingdom.
Speaker A:His agenda is to advance his kingdom.
Speaker B:That's right.
Speaker A:And keep advancing it.
Speaker A:He's, he's not.
Speaker A:Death doesn't, I don't know, it doesn't really upset him.
Speaker A:I mean, we get, we get upset with, with him about death, but it doesn't upset him.
Speaker A:But it's just a, death is just a, you got, you know, it was a choice that our, our Father, our Father forefathers made, you know, and, and we make, we make that choice too.
Speaker A:I mean, that's all.
Speaker A:We're not gonna make it through this earthly journey, but we can make it into the heavenly journey by confessing the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and believe it in, in your heart.
Speaker B:Amen, brother.
Speaker A:I mean, search your heart.
Speaker A:Search it.
Speaker A:That's the only thing I advice I can give anybody.
Speaker A:Just if you have any doubts, search your heart.
Speaker A:Get it and, and pray, Pray, pray, pray, pray.
Speaker A:Prayer is what got me through this two weeks prayer and other people praying for me.
Speaker A:I felt the prayers of the radio ministry, I felt the prayers of my friends, my church family.
Speaker A:I have a great church family.
Speaker A:They helped me tremendously through the, they did the memorial for us and they got us through it.
Speaker A:And you know, without, without my family, my, my Church family, my radio family, without my friends that are Christians.
Speaker A:I want to made it without all that, without their prayers.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I just want to made it, you know, my prayers alone weren't enough, but I.
Speaker A:I did have people.
Speaker A:I know I did.
Speaker A:And it was so, so good to have that.
Speaker A:So great, you know, so when we hear.
Speaker A:When you pray with others, I'm right there with you, praying right along with you, praying for them, hoping that God encourages them.
Speaker A:Like, he's encouraged me, he's encouraged me to keep.
Speaker A:You know, I took a couple weeks off from the mystery regular duties.
Speaker A:My.
Speaker A:I work and I.
Speaker A:But I just couldn't.
Speaker A:I just had to reflect.
Speaker A:I tell you what, I took a rest.
Speaker B:Yep.
Speaker B:Yep.
Speaker A:I just took a rest.
Speaker A:I just said, look, I'm gonna take the rest and you do the rest.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker A:I'm gonna take the rest and God's gonna do the rest.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker A:I did.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker A:Now I'm back to work.
Speaker A:Faith without works is dead.
Speaker A:You gotta go back to work.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:At some point you return.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:So what's great about what you're sharing too is people need to recognize is that Jesus, when Jesus talked about death, he talked about it as sleeping.
Speaker B:There was never this finality in his discussion of it.
Speaker B:He was like, ah, he's sleeping.
Speaker B:It's just like, wait, what?
Speaker B:What?
Speaker B:Wait, what?
Speaker B:People are like, wait, what?
Speaker B:It's like, you guys don't understand.
Speaker B:I'm from above.
Speaker B:You're not.
Speaker B:Trust me.
Speaker B:You don't get this yet.
Speaker B:You will.
Speaker A:I think about the Lazarus story when Jesus was talking about Lazarus, the rich man and Lazarus, and in the divide that the rich man could see up in the heaven and Lazarus could go, you know, can you dip a little water down here?
Speaker A:You know, hey.
Speaker A:But it was too late, you know, Right.
Speaker B:Too much of a chasm.
Speaker B:That's right.
Speaker B:That's right.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:And I have all kinds of different opinions, but my opinions don't matter about what heaven is like and where they're at right now.
Speaker A:Whether they're in a golf or whether they're in a divide, whether.
Speaker A:Whether anything.
Speaker A:Whether they're sleeping.
Speaker A:Obviously, if he took the.
Speaker A:The poor man was in the arms of one of the ministers up there.
Speaker A:So, I mean, you know, hey, yeah.
Speaker B:He was in Abraham.
Speaker A:We're going to learn a lot after we get there.
Speaker B:Oh, yeah.
Speaker B:Oh, yeah.
Speaker B:Now we see dimly, then we shall see face to face.
Speaker B:That's a great way to say you don't see what's going on yet you will, but you don't yet see what's going on.
Speaker A:So, yeah, the most important thing is just have Christ in your heart.
Speaker A:Keep Christ in your heart.
Speaker A:Keep your mind focused on Christ.
Speaker A:Have the mind of Christ on a daily basis.
Speaker A:Keep going back to the.
Speaker A:I rely on the word of God.
Speaker A:I rely on prayer.
Speaker A:I even do it.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:I say fasting, but when I fast, it's just usually stuff that I need to get away from anyway.
Speaker B:All right, Lord, I'll fast.
Speaker B:Snickers today, but tomorrow.
Speaker B:That's a good line, Roger.
Speaker B:That's a good one right there.
Speaker A:And I do it.
Speaker A:I kind of try to follow it a little bit.
Speaker A:I know a lot of people kind of frown on that, but I follow.
Speaker A:You know, 40 days.
Speaker A:I mean, it's good to give up something.
Speaker B:Yeah, you do it if you do it as unto the Lord, right?
Speaker A:Do it unto the Lord.
Speaker B:Yeah, right.
Speaker B:That's the key.
Speaker A:Hey, you.
Speaker A:You a coffee drinker?
Speaker A:Give up coffee for 40 days and see what happens.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:You might not talk with a stutter if you give up coffee for 40 days.
Speaker B:Sorry, I couldn't resist that one.
Speaker B:That was a good one.
Speaker A:Or give up sugar.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker B:Well, we love you, brother.
Speaker B:And I want you to know that everybody's hearing you.
Speaker B:They're not just going to be praying for you.
Speaker B:They're crying with you, but they're laughing with you.
Speaker B:They're rejoicing with you at the same time, Roger.
Speaker B:And this is the thing.
Speaker B:We're all connected.
Speaker B:That.
Speaker B:And it's wonderful.
Speaker B:That part of it's wonderful.
Speaker B:That is our actual faith in tangible process.
Speaker B:That's what it is.
Speaker B:And so I remember when I encountered that earlier on in my walk.
Speaker B:It's like your faith comes to a couple of very serious moments as well.
Speaker B:And those moments help you really define, you know, what I do believe.
Speaker B:You know what?
Speaker B:I know it's true, and you stand firm in that and.
Speaker B:And that's what's great.
Speaker B:And your family, it's just going to be a wonderful time for you guys.
Speaker B:I wish my entire family was going to be as blessed as yours will be, but I recognize that sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't.
Speaker B:But we love you.
Speaker B:And I just want you to know we're praying for you and for your wife, for all your family.
Speaker B:We're there for you.
Speaker B:We'll keep praying for you.
Speaker B:You keep on keeping us aware of how you're doing and what's taking place.
Speaker B:That's part of it.
Speaker A:I'm Gonna give you one clear point.
Speaker A:God puts things in the sea of forgetfulness.
Speaker A:Forgetfulness.
Speaker A:And we can have that same sea in our lives.
Speaker A:We can put things in the sea of forgetfulness.
Speaker A:And what if you can find that in your life where that sea is?
Speaker A:Then you cast all the that sea and it's done.
Speaker A:It's done.
Speaker A:That's done.
Speaker A:All that stuff is done when you cast your cares into the sea of forgetfulness.
Speaker B:See, now that.
Speaker B:That's a good response.
Speaker B:So you cast your cares into the sea.
Speaker B:The sea stands for your cares.
Speaker B:Cast it in there.
Speaker B:Oh, that's good.
Speaker B:Okay, we'll do that.
Speaker B:That's good.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:All right, Brother David, I know you kept me on longer than what you should have, but God bless you and God bless the radio station.
Speaker A:And just I'm praying for y'all and I'm gonna see what I can do to help y'all out.
Speaker B:Thank you, brother.
Speaker B:God bless you.
Speaker B:I love you.
Speaker A:God bless you.
Speaker A:Bye.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:Bye.
Speaker B:Bye.
Speaker B:All right, before we do go to break, we're gonna.
Speaker B:There was an excellent call by Roger again.
Speaker B:I just want everybody to be praying for him.
Speaker B:You guys know, you know, I mean, those things, they've been through a very heavy duty stuff, but look at how God works things out.
Speaker B:And people are like, is this going to bring some kind of unbelievable result?
Speaker B:It already has.
Speaker B:Don't you get it?
Speaker B:Just what he said, Everything God allows for you and I advances his kingdom.
Speaker B:Do you understand?
Speaker B:He's looking at this.
Speaker B:He sees the whole picture.
Speaker B:We only see a bit and a fraction.
Speaker B:He sees the entire thing.
Speaker B:Get it?
Speaker B:All right, going back to the trivia question before we exit and take a break.
Speaker B:A man was tied hand and foot and thrown outside in darkness for showing up wearing the wrong clothes.
Speaker B:At what event?
Speaker B:Was it a baptism, a wedding, a burial, or a planting of seeds?
Speaker B:And it was the wedding.
Speaker B:He showed up with the wrong clothes for the wedding.
Speaker B:He should have had the garment of Jesus Christ on.
Speaker B:Get it?
Speaker B:In order to get into the forever wedding, we will take a break and then come back.
Speaker B:You're listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on Kaam 770, the truth station here in Texas.
Speaker B:Short break.
Speaker B:We'll be back.
Speaker B:Don't go anywhere.
Speaker B:The David Spoon Experience.
Speaker B:It says this, for I was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about your devotion to the truth in which you continue to walk.
Speaker B:I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in truth.
Speaker B:Have you noticed that in the first four or five verses or six Verses, the word truth comes up over and over and over and over again.
Speaker B:Well, there's a reason for that.
Speaker B:Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life.
Speaker B:No man comes to the Father but by him.
Speaker B:Sorry, that's what the Messiah said.
Speaker B:Oh, the Messiah.
Speaker B:He was a really good moral teacher.
Speaker B:Well, he told he was the way, so work it out.
Speaker B:Bottom line is the devotion to truth is something that the apostle is acknowledging.
Speaker B:And guys, he's just saying, man, I love it, brother.
Speaker B:I love how you are.
Speaker B:He's expressing this immense joy, this satisfaction about hearing the testimony of other brothers from the church where Gaius is serving and their testimony is affirming.
Speaker B:Gaius, unwavering devotion to the truth.
Speaker B:Why is that important?
Speaker B:Well, the importance of our commitment to the truth probably on this little show can never be overstated because cultures and kingdoms and opinions, politics and Hollywood and academia and especially the media, well, they change like the wind.
Speaker B:One minute it's like this, and one minute it's like this.
Speaker B:All of these things change.
Speaker B:Don't tell me things don't change in science.
Speaker B:The Earth is 4 billion years old.
Speaker B:16 billion years old, 900 billion years old.
Speaker B:12.
Speaker B:But they don't know who they kidding.
Speaker B:But the truth remains constant.
Speaker B:The truth does not change.
Speaker B:And we need to have an unwavering commitment to the truth.
Speaker B:That's what separated Billy Graham and his ministry from all the other people he was hanging out with is he had made the decision in his engagement with God to believe that God could write a book, created the universe.
Speaker B:The dude can write a book.
Speaker B:And it was an unwavering commitment.
Speaker B:And people are like, okay, but which version?
Speaker B:Where's the Lord speaking to you?
Speaker B:If you're having a problem with it, you do me a favor.
Speaker B:You read the New Testament 100 times in 50 different translations, and then you tell me what the issue is.
Speaker B:You're going to go, well, there is no issue.
Speaker B:It's like, right?
Speaker B:And it's through biblical truth, not the truth of mankind.
Speaker B:Biblical truth.
Speaker B:Welcome back to the David Spoon experience.
Speaker B:Thank you for joining us here at Kaam 770, the Truth Station here in Texas.
Speaker B:That's Ka.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:770, the Truth Station here in Texas.
Speaker B:We got another trivia question.
Speaker B:I hope you guys are feeling pretty strong about your trivia engagement.
Speaker B:Here you go.
Speaker B:Out of Leviticus.
Speaker B:Oh, Dave said Leviticus.
Speaker B:Leviticus 13.
Speaker B:Oh, but really it covers an entire chapter.
Speaker B:So think about this from a practical point of view.
Speaker B:In Leviticus, who determined whether or not a disease was healed?
Speaker B:The oldest person, the shepherds the priests or the tax collectors.
Speaker B:In Leviticus, who determined whether or not a disease was healed?
Speaker B:The older person, the eldest people, the old people, the priests, the shepherds, the tax collectors.
Speaker B:Leviticus 13:2 through 56.
Speaker B: -: Speaker B: -: Speaker B: -: Speaker B: -: Speaker B:Or you can send an email.
Speaker B:Davidemustincrease.org so it's a pretty straightforward question.
Speaker B:In Leviticus, who determined whether or not a disease was healed?
Speaker B:The eldest people of the tribes, not the elders.
Speaker B:The eldest.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:The priests, the shepherds or the tax collectors.
Speaker B:Leviticus 13, technically 2 through 56.
Speaker B:So just make a good educated response.
Speaker B:That's my encouragement.
Speaker B:Unless you want to read the whole chapter before you reply to that.
Speaker B:In the meantime.
Speaker B:That was a phenomenal share by Brother Roger and I just want to give him mega props of how he shared it and how that came about.
Speaker B:He wasn't looking for that.
Speaker B:He was looking for an opportunity to be appreciative and to let everybody know how he's doing.
Speaker B:But he did a great job in communicating it.
Speaker B:And your prayers are necessary.
Speaker B:I think he said it really well.
Speaker B:If he knows he got through it, he got through it.
Speaker B:But he knows it was his church family.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:They were instrumental, obviously his most immediate family, his church family, but also the radio family, praying for him, being a part of it.
Speaker B:We love him.
Speaker B:We try to, you know, really, he's a wonderful blessing and we need to recognize, we help him when we pray for him and his wife and his family.
Speaker B:So we need to stay in that and understand that.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:In lieu of that and in lieu of how it went, I want to go a different direction on the rest of the teaching and what we're going to do for the show, which I don't believe anybody would think we would do differently anyway.
Speaker B:I don't know why you would.
Speaker B: pull something out of a John: Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:So I'm going to do that.
Speaker B:And I do want you, though, to be aware we are still going to send you to the website.
Speaker B:I'm sorry to have to do it, but we are in that place where this ministry exists by donations and we cannot maintain the ministry without those donations, period.
Speaker B:So we need your help as best as you can do.
Speaker B:And if you are not able to give, you are able to Pray.
Speaker B:And we would ask you to do that.
Speaker B:I am going to send you up to the website, ask you to take a peek.
Speaker B: ng to do a teaching from John: Speaker B:But first off, check out the website.
Speaker B:I think there's access.
Speaker B:Oh, by the way, I should tell you this.
Speaker B:On the website, under the podcasts, there's this beta search engine on the podcast page.
Speaker B:If you go to it and it says beta search engine.
Speaker B:I put in there, I was trying to find something from something I taught in the past and I used it and it brought up all the really good and pertinent pieces of information that I needed from the podcast.
Speaker B:I kind of think it's working.
Speaker B:So if you have something that you've got an issue on and you're like, I wonder if they covered this?
Speaker B:Go to the website and under podcasts, about a third of the way down, it says beta search engine.
Speaker B:Type in what the subject is and see what comes up.
Speaker B:For real.
Speaker B:I mean, it worked really good for me.
Speaker B:I was really happy.
Speaker B:I hope that wasn't just for me.
Speaker B:Anyway, in the giving department, give if you can pray.
Speaker B:If you can't, pray for the ministry.
Speaker B:Regardless, we appreciate it.
Speaker B:Check out the website hemustincrease.org Prayer request hemostincrease.org Praise report hemostinchrease.org Looking to give to this ministry.
Speaker B:He must increase.org Confused by what's happening right now.
Speaker B:He must increase.org he must increase.org that'll do, Donkey.
Speaker B:That'll do.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I just hope he's not saying that to me.
Speaker B:See, I always have that back thing in my mind where God used the donkey to rebuke the prophet.
Speaker B:I'm thinking, not that I'm a prophet, I'm just saying, I just hope he doesn't use a donkey to re.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Anyway, you see where I'm going with that?
Speaker B:In Leviticus, who determined whether or not a disease was healed?
Speaker B:The eldest people present, the priests, the shepherds, or the tax collectors.
Speaker B:Leviticus 13 would be your reference point.
Speaker B:If you think you know.
Speaker B: -: Speaker B: -: Speaker B:I've had this kind of hidden in the notebook, knowing that the Lord would have me share it at some point.
Speaker B:This is what Jesus had to say.
Speaker B:And I want you to hear.
Speaker B:I want you to hear as much as I can, do the best I can.
Speaker B:What Jesus is communicating.
Speaker B:Here's what he said.
Speaker B:I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace.
Speaker B:In this world you will have trouble.
Speaker B: John: Speaker B:How apropos for.
Speaker B:I mean, just perfect for what's been going on in this show.
Speaker B:I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace.
Speaker B:In this world you will have trouble.
Speaker B:So Jesus tells his disciples, okay, I am telling you these things for a couple of reasons, and I want you to pick up on these reasons and live by this.
Speaker B:In me you may have peace.
Speaker B:Jesus is the Prince of peace.
Speaker B:It is called in the New Testament the God Gospel of peace and what people tend to miss.
Speaker B:And I pray about this every day.
Speaker B:Every day I ask that God would give me a peace and a patience and a persistence.
Speaker B:I don't want to stop being persistent, right?
Speaker B:I don't want to stop being patient.
Speaker B:I need to be patient, but I need to have a peace to run through all the things that I do and encounter, all the things that I encounter.
Speaker B:And Jesus is making it absolutely clear our peace is in him.
Speaker B:It's not that medicines are bad, but peace is not in the medicine.
Speaker B:It's not that work is bad, but peace is not in the work.
Speaker B:It's not that money is bad, but peace is not in the money.
Speaker B:Peace is in Jesus.
Speaker B:He is the Prince of peace.
Speaker B:He is the authority.
Speaker B:He is in charge of peace.
Speaker B:And in every one of our lives, the reason that people are dissatisfied in everybody's life is because they don't have peace.
Speaker B:When I first did drugs, I was searching for something more because I was not internally at peace.
Speaker B:And then I did that search and found out that even the drugs and the things that I tried didn't work.
Speaker B:And I experimented in many realms as Solomon, who did even more worse things than me, and found out the answer goes back to Jesus.
Speaker B:You got a situation, you got a relationship, you got a circumstance, you got all that stuff.
Speaker B:We all have that going on.
Speaker B:Jesus is telling them, it's in me.
Speaker B:That's the place, your peace, your search for peace.
Speaker B:Jesus is telling them, it's in me.
Speaker B:That's where you have to have it.
Speaker B:Now Jesus says something fascinating after that, he's not even done with this teaching.
Speaker B:He says, in this world, you will have trouble.
Speaker B:So let's differentiate those two statements.
Speaker B:He says, in this world, not in the future world, not in the one with God, but in this current sin, Driven from the garden, rebellion, world.
Speaker B:And then also when you talk about this world, you're talking about man's system, which is perverted by sin and perverted by Satan.
Speaker B:Man's values, man's righteousness, man's solutions, man's answers to life, all perverted by Satan.
Speaker B:And Jesus says, in this world, you know what?
Speaker B:You're going to have trouble.
Speaker B:There is no solution that man can give you.
Speaker B:But Jesus made it clear in him there was the answer.
Speaker B:So all those searches, all those things that we do, all the things that we think are going to make us happy, I mean, I know we.
Speaker B:Well, if I have kids, if I have grandkids, if I have this, if I have this, if I get this job, if I do this, all those things will be things.
Speaker B:None of that will work.
Speaker B:None of it will work.
Speaker B:Only in Jesus is there the peace that will satisfy, that passes all understanding, which means it is beyond logic and keeps our hearts and our minds safe.
Speaker B:Only in Jesus.
Speaker B:How about them apples?
Speaker B:Them are some good apples, Dave.
Speaker B:That's my wife's response, by the way.
Speaker B:Whenever I say to her, how about them apples?
Speaker B:She goes, them are some good apples.
Speaker B:Here it is.
Speaker B:In Jesus you can have the peace you want.
Speaker B:In Jesus Christ, if you're a person that does not have peace, I give you this opportunity not because of me, but because the Lord is affording it to you, that you need to get the peace that comes from Jesus.
Speaker B:For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Speaker B:And the wages of sin is death.
Speaker B:But the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Speaker B:And God showed his love to us while we were still sinners.
Speaker B:Christ died for us.
Speaker B:So if you will declare with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Speaker B:For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Speaker B:Just think of John 3:16.
Speaker B:In this process, God so loved the world that he gave us only Son, that whosoever should believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Speaker B:If you're a person that has not done this, pray this prayer with me now.
Speaker B:Heavenly Father, I am sorry for my sin.
Speaker B:I surrender my life to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker B:I receive you in my heart by faith.
Speaker B:Pour out your Holy Spirit into my life.
Speaker B:For I believe that you rose from the dead.
Speaker B:And I confess with my mouth.
Speaker B:And I believe that you died for my sins.
Speaker B:And I confess with my mouth.
Speaker B:And you were buried.
Speaker B:And three days later you rose Again, according to the Scriptures, please forgive me.
Speaker B:I thank you for this new life you have given me.
Speaker B:I praise you and pray this in your name, Jesus.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:And amen.
Speaker B:Peace is in Jesus.
Speaker B:In this world, there's trouble.
Speaker B:In his world, there is peace.
Speaker B:Get that?
Speaker B:All right, answering the trivia question, because we try not to fail in that.
Speaker B:In Leviticus, who determined whether or not a disease was healed?
Speaker B:Was it the eldest people present, the priests, the shepherds, or the tax collectors?
Speaker B:And the answer is the priests determined whether it was or was not healed.
Speaker B:Which is why Jesus said, go show yourself to the priests when people got healed.
Speaker B:Alright, we'll take a short break and then come back.
Speaker B:You're listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on Kaam 770, the truth station here in Texas.
Speaker B:Short break, we'll be back.
Speaker B:Don't go anywhere.

Speaker B:All right, here it is.
Speaker B:What was the occupation of Zacchaeus?
Speaker B:What was the occupation of Zacchaeus?
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:Was he a tax collector, a butcher, a merchant, or a rabbi?
Speaker B:What was the occupation of Zacchaeus?
Speaker B:Was he a tax collector, a butcher, a merchant, or a rabbi?
Speaker B:What was the occupation of Zacchaeus?
Speaker B:Luke 19:2.
Speaker B:If you think you know, you must be speedy.
Speaker B: -: Speaker B: -: Speaker B:You can send an email.
Speaker B:Davidemustincrease.org okay, just telling everybody, you gotta be fast.

Speaker B:Just tell me if you like it or not.
Speaker B:Ready?
Speaker B:Why doesn't a bike stand up by itself?
Speaker B:Why doesn't a bike stand up by itself?
Speaker B:Because it's too tired.
Speaker B:Too tired.
Speaker B:You guys thought I couldn't pull a joke off in the middle of that.
Speaker B:You were wrong.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:What was the occupation of Zacchaeus?
Speaker B:We have somebody on the line.
Speaker B:Let's send them on through.
Speaker B:Knock, knock.
Speaker B:This is David.
Speaker B:Who am I talking to?
Speaker F:Hey, David.
Speaker F:This is John.
Speaker B:Hi, John.
Speaker B:How are you, brother?
Speaker F:I'm still trying to work on my tax return.
Speaker F:That's kind of an interesting question.
Speaker B:What a great timing, right?
Speaker F:We're always good timing.
Speaker B:So the occupation of Zacchaeus was a tax collector?
Speaker B:That is correct.
Speaker B:Amundo, sir.
Speaker B:That is hilarious.
Speaker B:Working on my taxes?
Speaker B:That's a funny question, Dave.
Speaker B:I don't like you anymore.
Speaker F:There's a little song about him, you know.
Speaker B:Oh, you know what I've heard, I think I've heard.
Speaker B:How does it go?
Speaker F:What's that?
Speaker B:How's that song go?
Speaker B:I think I've heard something about Zacchaeus was a small guy thingy.
Speaker F:Yeah, I don't.
Speaker B:I don't know it, though.
Speaker F:Well, I do, but I don't know if he wants.
Speaker B:Brother, how are you?
Speaker B:Are you doing well?
Speaker F:Yeah, I'm okay.
Speaker F:I'm all right now.
Speaker B:I'm glad, brother.
Speaker B:I'm glad.
Speaker B:Well, you are a blessing, and I want you to know that every time you call in, I love hearing from you.
Speaker F:Well, thank you very much.
Speaker B:You're welcome.
Speaker F:Yeah.
Speaker F:Something like, Zacchaeus was a wee little man.
Speaker F:A wee little man Was he?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker F:He climbed up in the Sigmar trail For the Lord he wanted to see and as the Lord passed by I may not get the words.
Speaker F:But as the Lord passed by, the Lord said to him, come on down, Zacchaeus.
Speaker F:I want to be in.
Speaker F:I want to be in your house today.
Speaker F:Or something like that.
Speaker F:I'm sorry.
Speaker B:That's okay.
Speaker B:You got those first two lines in.
Speaker B:Let me give you this.
Speaker B:You're going to get this right now.
Speaker B:You even get a golf clap on top of that.
Speaker B:That was a heck of a job right there.
Speaker B:Especially because I put you on the spot, which wasn't very nice of me to do.
Speaker B:But, you know, I'm like that, so that's okay.
Speaker F:I walked into that one.
Speaker B:Anyway, excellent job, brother.
Speaker B:Really, really appreciate you and love you in the Lord.
Speaker F:Thank you.
Speaker F:And Jacob, appreciate you all.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:God bless you, my friend.
Speaker F:God bless you, too.
Speaker B:Bye bye.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:What a show.
Speaker B:Just one of those kind of shows where it's just different.
Speaker B:We just kind of roll with it and have a good time, but we get to weep together, we get to laugh together, we get to understand each other.
Speaker B:Here's the biggest thing of all of this.
Speaker B:If you are a believer and you have become distant from the Lord because you have been hurt, most of us who are listening to my voice fully understand.
Speaker B:But we also fully understand that your answer still lies in the same place it did when you started this journey.
Speaker B:Your answer lies in the grace and mercy that comes through Jesus Christ.
Speaker B:And he loves you.
Speaker B:And I know for a fact, biblical and personal, experiential and otherwise, that when you hurt, it breaks his heart.
Speaker B:That's how much he loves you.
Speaker B:He doesn't have to do that, that he's just like that.
Speaker B:So call upon his name.
Speaker B:Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Speaker B:Call on his name.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:All right, folks, you've been listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on Kaam 770, the truth station here in Texas.
