The David Spoon Experience 2-20-24 part 2

1) As we continue to delve into Romans, we have reached chapter two, verse eight. This could be one of the great indictments in the Holy Writ. The author, under the power of the Spirit, writes that God will pour out His anger and wrath upon those who live for themselves, refuse to obey the truth, and practice evil deeds. Living for ourselves incurs the wrath and anger of God, regardless of whether we are Christians or not. For non-believers, it results in eternal judgment. For believers, it leads to divine disappointment.

2) Another significant truth begins in verse nine. There will be trouble for everyone who continues to sin. For Christians, these sins will be covered by the blood of Jesus, but trouble will still ensue. This is why James refers to the need for prayer for healing regarding our sins.

3) Along with the bad news comes the good news, which is what the gospel is all about. Those who persist in sinning and rebelling against God will face a difficult future. However, for those who live for the glory of the Lord, there will be glory, honor, and peace from God Himself. This glory, honor, and peace are not like what the world gives, which are always fleeting and never enduring. The glory, honor, and peace that God gives are eternal. That’s what we’re striving for.

4) It’s important to note that this process applies to both Jews and Gentiles. The Gospel is first given to the Jews, then to the Gentiles. The same order applies to judgment, honor, and rewards. The reason is simple: the Jews are God’s chosen people. They are first, and they get first dibs. That’s why Jesus’s ministry was to the Jews first. There’s nothing unusual or wrong about reaching out to your own children first.

5) For those of us who love the word of God, verse 13 presents an extreme challenge. The Lord makes it clear that merely knowing the law is not enough to find God’s approval. The Word is essential, but knowing the Word and never putting it into practice is foolish. We can know of the Word just like we can know of God. To know the Word is to do the Word, to live in the Word, and to honor the Word because they are, in fact, the very words of God.

David Spoon

David Spoon was born and raised in a Jewish home in Detroit, Michigan. He attended a private Hebrew school called Hillel Hebrew Academy. David was bar mitzvah-ed at the age of thirteen. Not long after, he was involved in drug abuse and trafficking. After hearing the Gospel for the first time at age seventeen, David accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. A few months later, David had a dramatic experience with God. Immediately set free from years of excessive drug use, he committed himself to ministry and to furthering the Kingdom of God.

He attended Arizona Bible College, Northern Arizona University, and Life Pacific College, graduating summa-cum-laude in their Ministry and Leadership program. He also graduated with honors from Regent University with a master’s degree in Theological Studies and earned his Doctor of Ministry degree in Strategic Christian Ministry at Liberty University.

He is one of a few individuals holding ministerial ordinations from three separate denominations: Heritage Free Baptist Organization, 1981; Independent Pentecostal Ministers Association, 1985; and Vineyard Valley Association, 1988. He was also the Chaplain for the Flagstaff Police Department. In addition, David was the senior pastor of Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Flagstaff.

In addition, David started and co-hosted two different live Christian call-in radio talk shows. He hosted the very popular radio show “The David Spoon Experience” on KPRZ 1210 and a show called “To Know Him,” which aired on 88.9 on the F.M. dial-in Temecula, California at 1:00 p.m., Monday through Fridays. He was also the Director of Local Ministry for Salem Media Group in San Diego, California.

David is married to his best friend, Noelle. He has three children and seven grandchildren, plus their two dogs named Levi and Bert. On March 18th, 2019, he started “The David Spoon Experience” in Texas and is growing with his audience of awesome believers and non-believers alike.

He is the President of He Must Increase Ministry, a 501c3 ministry, and is hosting (again) the live daily radio show “The David Spoon Experience” with DJR Broadcasting in KAAM, on the 770 A.M. radio dial. The show is also on various apps and the Internet.

David is a Jewish-Christian, Bapti-Costal, Cal-Minian, Manifold Millennialist.
