Scripture in this episode
All passages New Living Translation.
James 1:19-20
The Daily Grind - Don’t Take the Rage Bait. One mouth, two ears, do the math.
“Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.”
“Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.”
2 Kings 10:29
The verdict on Jehu - the half of the paradigm that cuts both ways.
“He did not, however, destroy the gold calves at Bethel and Dan, with which Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to sin.”
1 Kings 16:30-31
Ahab and Jezebel, the casting the book begins with.
“But Ahab son of Omri did what was evil in the LORD’s sight, even more than any of the kings before him.”
“And as though it were not enough to follow the example of Jeroboam, he married Jezebel, the daughter of King Ethbaal of the Sidonians, and he began to bow down in worship of Baal.”
Proverbs 21:1
Even a wicked king is a pawn on the board.
“The king’s heart is like a stream of water directed by the LORD; he guides it wherever he pleases.”
Proverbs 28:1
Why the sinner is not part of the equation.
“The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions.”
Matthew 26:39
Gethsemane - the tension between free will and the sovereignty of God, in one sentence.
“He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, ‘My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.’”
John 8:32
The enemy leverages biblical illiteracy. If you do not know the truth, it cannot make you free.
“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Colossians 3:2
From Michael McWilliams’ note, read on air.
“Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.”
Philippians 4:6-7
From Bart Offringa’s note - the passage he was memorising that same week.
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”
“Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
