The Solution - For All Mankind, For All Time

Episode 95: The Gift from God In today’s show you will meet Hector who loves God and refuses to allow the circumstances of life to steal his joy. God has given us many things, but the greatest of all is the gift of His son, Jesus Christ. And believing in His son results in receiving the gift of eternal life. God did not reconcile us to himself by our good works or by our prayer or by our going to church every week. God reconciled us and brought us back into favor and righteousness to Himself by Jesus Christ. And not only that – He gave us the ministry of reconciliation. You have a ministry. That ministry is to speak God’s Word regarding the Lord Jesus Christ to others so that they too can be reconciled to the one true God. The interview in the second half of the program is with Christian minister, author, Bible teacher and broadcaster Mike Verdicchio. Mike’s newest book “What Does It Mean?” was just recently published. Whether someone is simply interested in the culture of Bible times, a casual reader of the Bible, a serious student of the Scriptures, or a teacher, in the pages of What Does It Mean? they will discover gems of hidden truths and delight in understanding previously difficult sections of the Bible. What Does It Mean? not only sheds light on over four dozen hard to understand verses of the Bible, but also offers some simple practical application for our day and time. Mike’s blog is at www.ConfidenceAndJoy.com. To receive an autographed copy of Mike’s most recent book go to http://confidenceandjoy.com/what-does-it-mean.

Episode 87: Power in the Name of Jesus Christ Interview segment – Robert Rundle – Author, The Windows of Heaven Jesus Christ is the most powerful name on earth. It is a name not to be taken lightly. It is the name that God has given to His children to use in any situation. It is in the name of Jesus Christ that we pray. The name of Jesus Christ is above all names! In today’s teaching we see an example of the power in the name of Jesus Christ in everyday life! Our guest is Robert Rundle. Bob is the author of The Windows of Heaven.

Episode 81: Strong in God’s Grace through Wisdom in Christ Explore some of the Wisdom found in Christ which will enable you to be strong in God’s Grace in today’s program. In II Timothy chapter 2, verse 1 it states, “that we are to be strong in the grace is found in Christ Jesus.” If God asks us to be strong in the grace that is found in Christ Jesus then it must be available. Where are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hid? They are hid in the knowledge of the mystery of God concerning Christ. The all truth that Jesus Christ spoke of in the gospels is now revealed in the church epistles of the New Testament. Part of the all truth is: Christ’s substitution in his death for you Your righteousness is complete in Christ All who freely desire to come to God are welcomed at His throne of grace Those that believe are members of the body of Christ You are seated in the heavenlies at God’s right hand At the return of Jesus Christ you will be gathered together with him and meet him in the air You have eternal life Until the Lord returns you have the privilege to do the same works as he did and greater works

Episode 80: No Greater Joy What are you looking for? What does your heart desire? What is it that you think you need to live a better life? When I was younger I often thought that more things was what I needed. You know, if I only had a newer car or a bigger house or a faster computer. And sometimes I’d get the newer car or the faster computer and still not be satisfied. Or at times in my life I have looked to an event or to people to fill the void in my heart that I thought would make life better or more fulfilling. So often we look in all the wrong places to validate our life…..we search for the things that we think will make us worth something. Really … the new car, the house, the electronics, the events, the people are all a distraction that only give a very temporary satisfaction….but never genuine fulfillment or validation. The hearts of men and women hunger and thirst for righteousness. And in the true righteousness is found a relationship with the one true God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is no greater joy than a relationship with God our Father!

Episode 79: Thanksgiving Interview segment – Garrett Bova – Pastor at Grace Christian Fellowship, Naperville IL and Chaplain for Lisle/Woodridge Fire District This past Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving. The Thanksgiving holiday is a time when we as a nation acknowledge God and Give thanks to Him for His goodness and abundance. Tonight’s program looks at some of the history behind the Thanksgiving holiday and scriptures from God’s Word regarding thankfulness. Our interview segment is with ordained Christian minister and Fire District Chaplain Garrett Bova. Garrett shares some of the heart and privilege of being a servant to those who serve. Garrett also shares on thankfulness and some of the things that he is most thankful for. Garrett Bova may be reached at [email protected]

Episode 78: What Are We to Do? A little over a week ago elections were held in the United States. We elected Donald Trump and Mike Pence as the President and Vice-President. Sadly many Christians are divided over the results of this election. Regardless of the election results there is no reason to be divided or to be fearful and angry. God’s Word gives us direction – for those that truly desire to know what to do next. Our true citizenship is in heaven! In today’s teaching we will see why it is so important for us to pray for leaders and those that are in authority. It is so we can lead a quiet and peaceable life to the end that we have the freedom to freely speak God’s Word to a perishing world. Our leaders need your prayers. Your family, neighbors, co-workers need you to love them to the end that you lovingly and boldly speak God’s Word to them regarding the saving grace found in Christ Jesus. Don’t you ever underestimate your value within your sphere of influence. The life you reach today may in turn reach millions. Whether you reach one or millions, always abound in the work of the Lord knowing that your labor is not in vain.

Episode 77: Love – Our Greatest Need What would it mean to you if you had become one of the wealthiest people in the world and you had all that your heart might desire? Everywhere you went people knew who you were and paid homage to you hoping to receive some favor from you. You were powerful and much desired by others to be their friend. You had all the money you could ever want. You were in perfect health, bursting with energy. Your life was full with all that the world has to offer – yet you did not know God … your life was lost. What I truly need – and if you are honest I trust you would say the same…what we truly need is more of God. More of an intimacy with our Heavenly Father. A deeper and richer relationship with the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. Our greatest need today is a relationship with the One True God. God is love. Your life is hid in Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears then will you also appear with him in glory! Enjoy this program and grow in your relationship with your Heavenly Father!

Episode 76: Philippians 2 – Joy in Service When we read and study God’s Word our goal should be to grow closer in our relationship with God as our Heavenly Father. We don’t read and study just to gain more knowledge. What a tremendous waste of time to only have head knowledge and not have the application of the knowledge to end that we know experientially God as our Father and Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. The Creator of the heavens and the earth is our Heavenly Father. Our eternal relationship with Him is far more rewarding than what the world could ever offer. It is important to recognize that a knowledge of God without a relationship with Him leads to an arrogant and haughty attitude. We should desire to go beyond just knowing about God, to the end that we walk and talk with Him as our Heavenly Father. Philippians 2 gives us some very practical instruction in how to live with and for God. Opening and closing music is provided by Sal Arico.

Episode 75: Stagger Not at the Promise of God Interview segment – Gerald Wrenn – Minister and author, Our Hope in Christ In today’s program we look at believing God. Abraham is our example of believing. In Romans 4 it says that “Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in believing giving glory to God.” Abraham is the father of all those who believe. Abraham was a man who was a friend of God. He trusted and believed God. The ripple effect of Abraham’s believing goes through today all the way to eternity. We can look at Abraham’s life and learn about some of what is needed in our walk with God as our Heavenly Father. Our interview segment is with ordained Christian minister and author Gerald Wrenn as he shares with us on the topic of The Return of Jesus Christ. Gerald is the author of Our Hope in Christ. Gerald also teaches various seminars on God’s Word throughout the United States. Our Hope in Christ is a wonderful read on death and resurrection, the return of Jesus Christ and it clearly explains difficult verses regarding the return of Jesus Christ. Our Hope in Christ may be ordered on Amazon.   Gerald Wrenn may be reached at www.speaktomefather.com and on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/gerald.wrenn.7

Episode 74: Preach God’s Word Interview segment – Congresswoman Virginia Foxx – author, God is in the House: Congressional Testimonies of Faith In this so called enlightened day and time is the preaching of God’s Word profitable? Is it a worthwhile endeavor for you or me to speak to others of Jesus Christ and all that he has accomplished? Yes, absolutely! Let us Go, Stand and Speak on the streets, in the malls, door to door, at the market, at the beach, at work, on vacation to the people all the words of this life! Let it be said of us that we have filled our cities with the doctrine of Jesus Christ and that we have shown forth the wisdom and power of God! Our labor is not in vain. There are great rewards throughout all eternity for those that plant and water the hearts of mankind with the Word of God. Our guest interview is with Congresswoman Virginia Foxx. Congresswoman Foxx represents North Carolina’s 5th District in the United States House of Representatives.

Episode 73: Who Do You Trust? Interview segment – Charlie Quillen, Faithful in Christ Ministries, Rockford IL – Forgiveness Who do you trust? God is worthy of your trust! Our culture and society have greatly underestimated who God is and what He is capable of doing! The very foundation of who we think God is affects our trust factor! As we look at God’s Word and develop a relationship with Him as our Heavenly Father our trust grows! As our trust grows, our spiritual walk in this world increases. We begin to receive in evidence more and more of the treasures our Heavenly Father has for each of us. The interview segment is with ordained Christian minister, teacher and pastor Charlie Quillen from Faithful in Christ Ministries from Rockford, IL. Charlie shares with us on the topic of Forgiveness. Faithful in Christ Ministries is a non-denominational Bible based studying, teaching and fellowship ministry.

Episode 72: Your Life Matters Your life matters because Christ died for all. God so loved that He gave. Christ came to bring salvation – not condemnation. As we find our identification in Christ we will live our completeness in Christ. We have the privilege to bring to a perishing world the Hope that is found in Christ. Today is your day! Your life matters – not because of your skin color, not because of your political affiliation, not because of the size of your bank account —– it matters because of God and all He has done for you through His son the Lord Jesus Christ! You can make a difference in this world by speaking the awesome words of life! I encourage you to get involved in the lives of others and show them that their life matters by speaking the Word of Life!

Episode 71: Peace in this Crazy World! Interview segment – Bob Carden, pastor at Grace Christian Fellowship, Naperville IL – Freedom from Guilt and Shame This world can be a most unpeaceful place. It’s easy to get caught up in the anxiety and worry of the world when we are watching the TV news or listening to talk radio or spending endless hours on the internet. Now, I’m not saying there is anything wrong with watching the news or listening to talk radio or surfing the net. But, if that is where we focus our mind and thoughts to receive information ….well then we will be most unpeaceful. There is another way to live. There are no doldrums of everyday life when we know Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and our Heavenly Father. There is tremendous peace in Christ. A peaceful heart is free from anxiety and worry no matter what the circumstance, situation or temptation. There is no genuine peace in the heart of a man or a woman until they know the Prince of Peace – the Lord Jesus Christ. Our guest interview is with Bob Carden, pastor and teacher at Grace Christian Fellowship in Naperville IL. A couple weeks ago at Grace Christian Fellowship Bob taught on Freedom from Guilt and Shame. It was a teaching that really blessed my life. I trust you will enjoy Bob’s sharing as well. Bob may be reached at http://gcfnaperville.net/

Episode 70: Seek God with Your Whole Heart Earlier this week I read a couple verses from Psalm 119 that really got me thinking. Let’s read the verses first and then will look at them in some detail. Psalm 119:10 – 11: 10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. I had to ask myself the question “do I really seek God with my whole heart? Do I really treasure God’s Word in my heart so that I do His will and not my own?” I desire to seek God with my whole heart as I’m sure you do to. I desire to treasure His Word in my heart so that I don’t sin by going “my own way” but rather I am well pleasing in His sight by doing His will. This world with the circumstances of life, the lies, the deception by way of the pride of life and the deceitfulness of riches is continually calling us to move away from desiring the things of God and His Word. If God is love….which He is … would His will for your life ever be harmful or detrimental to you? No. So, I really think for us to desire to seek God with our whole heart we must first recognize that God is love and desires only good, only blessing – never harm or evil for any of us. Today’s program delves into the topic of Seeking God with Your Whole Heart.

It is a day to speak the truth with no hesitancy, no agenda, no ulterior motives, no games, no watering down the truth.

Episode 64: Freedom in Christ! Interview – Fred and Carol Blacksmith, Operation Freedom This Independence Day weekend we are commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence which took place in July of 1776. In God’s Word we see the great freedom we have received spiritually in Christ. Today this world so desperately needs men and women to live with the love of God, with the Word of God burning in their heart to the end they cannot help but speak those things which they know to be true. God’s Word is truth! God really has made Himself known to us today. It’s time to take God at His Word! Decide right now that today is a new day with you and your Heavenly Father. The past is past. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Today is the day to believe that you are who God’s Word says you are. Today is the day to live in the spiritual freedom within which you have been called to. We ought to obey God rather than men. The eternal rewards from God far outweigh the fleeting rewards of this world.

Episode 63: Light Dispels Darkness Interview – John Drake, Pastor and Chaplain At night if you were to walk into a totally dark room, are you able to see anything? No, not really. Maybe if there is some light coming from a window, from a streetlight or the moon, you may be able to distinguish various items in the room as a shadow, despite that small amount of light you still do not see clearly. When you turn on the light in a dark room the darkness leaves. You are able to see. Can the darkness ever extinguish the light? Never. The light will always dispel the darkness. Psalm 119:130 The entrance of thy words gives light; it gives understanding unto the simple. When God’s Word is made known it gives light. The unfolding, the revealing of God’s Word will give understanding or discernment to the simple. The simple are the humble, those who desire to know. We see from the scriptures that God is Light and His Word is Light. You are a children of Light and when you manifest that Light by speaking and living God’s Word signs, miracles and wonders take place. People’s lives are changed!

Episode 62: Relationship – Not Activity Interview – Panel Discussion with Steve Carter, Ann Sullivan and Dr. Rob DiMonda Is God living and real to you? Is your “God time” just a “once a week for an hour activity” or is it a “moment-by-moment, breath-by-breath intimate relationship”? In the course of my life it has been both. I’ve no doubt you have seen the same. God’s desire is that He is always living and real to you in your everyday life. We have a wonderful example in the Lord Jesus Christ …. He was always intimately connected to his Heavenly Father. You too can have that same quality of fellowship with God your Father as the Lord Jesus Christ. Our interview segment is a panel discussion with Steve Carter, Ann Sullivan and Dr. Rob DiMonda.

Episode 60: God’s Magnificent Mercy! Interview – Scott Powell – Songwriter, musician and minister of God’s Word Please read below on why I replayed Scott’s interview from July of 2015 Last week we looked at God’s magnificent grace. This week we will look at God’s magnificent mercy. God’s mercy toward mankind is evident all throughout history. Many times in God’s Word mercy is in the same context as grace. Mercy is defined as loving-kindness. Mercy is loving and it is kind in the sense that it is the withholding of earned judgment. God’s mercy toward all mankind is found in the giving of His son, the Lord Jesus Christ. We have been judged in Christ and not of our own works – now that is mercy. In this teaching we see wonderful examples of God’s mercy displayed towards Lot, David and you! Our interview segment is with Scott Powell. This interview is a replay from July of last year. I wanted to play it today and make a request of you the listener. Scott was in a motorcycle accident a little over a week ago. He is seeing miraculous healing deliverance and continues to need our prayer. Would you pray for him as you listen to the interview and continue to keep him in your prayers? We have played much of Scott’s music on The Solution Radio Show over the past year. I trust you will enjoy the interview with Scott and his music. Thank you for your prayers for Scott Powell.

Episode 58: Speak Life! Interview – Dr. Rob DiMonda – DiMonda Chiropractic Health and Wellness Center, Naperville IL Are the words you speak important? Do you listen closely to the conversations of others? Do you really hear the words you speak throughout the day? Many have never been taught the power and influence their words have, not only in their own lives but in the lives of others. And then, some of us have been taught, but we either got tricked out of believing our words make a difference or we gave up because we didn’t see change on the timetable we had set.

Episode 57: Pentecost – Its Significance Today Interview – Bob Carden – Teacher, Author and Lead Pastor at Grace Christian Fellowship, Naperville IL Today the Christian church celebrates Pentecost. The day of Pentecost took place almost 2000 years ago, 50 days after the resurrection  of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. The day of Pentecost ushered in for both God and mankind a new type of relationship. A relationship of sonship was now available. God the Father could now place His spirit in those that would believe on His solution for the redemption of mankind – the Lord Jesus Christ. In many previous shows we have looked in great detail at the greatness of the accomplished the work of Jesus Christ. His complete sacrifice, all that he came to do for mankind….finds its fulfillment in the day of Pentecost. For it’s on the day of Pentecost that God’s spirit became freely available for all who believe. Today we look at Acts 2:1 – 4 which contains the record of the original outpouring of God’s gift to mankind, holy spirit. The interview segment is with Bob Carden of Grace Christian Fellowship, Naperville IL. The topic of discussion is about the gift of holy spirit.

Episode 56: Living with a Renewed Mind Interview – Dave Ferguson – Lead Pastor at Community Christian Church, Naperville IL and co-author Finding Your Way Back to God Today we see from God’s Word that the Bible is a living Word. It is alive and when that Word of God is meditated upon and dwelt upon in our thinking … the living God by way of His spirit and the living Word in your mind will transform your heart. It is not automatic when you become a Christian, nor does God take over your mind and make your heart and life become a certain way. Our Heavenly Father has done a holy, mighty and gracious work for each of us in the accomplished work of Jesus Christ. Now it’s time to live for Him. If only today to get a glimpse of who you are in Christ to the end of believing your true identity…..then our time together has been well spent.

Episode 52: Come Boldly unto the Throne of Grace Interview – Dan Hennenfent on Bolivia and short term mission trips – Cup of Cold Water Ministries In this world today, sometimes life can be extremely difficult. If we dwell on negative thoughts about our self it is very hard to manifest joy and peace in our life. On the contrary, when we think God’s Word of our self and know who we are in Christ, then our life will be full of joy and peace. God has not made us to be failures in this life. We cannot allow ourselves to think that the value of our life is defined by the circumstances we may find ourselves in. Our value is found in Christ and Christ alone. It is the spiritual realities that we must focus on and meditate on thanking our Heavenly Father for His love. Let us come boldly unto our Heavenly Father’s throne of Grace! Our interview segment is with Dan Hennenfent the Executive Director at Cup of Cold Water Ministries. Cup of Cold Water Ministries is a non-denominational ministry to both missionaries and those in need around the world.

Episode 51: Where is Jesus Christ Today? Additional Sharing on I Thessalonians 5:1 – 3 Dan Mohler Sharing on Identification The past couple weeks on The Solution Radio Show we looked at the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today we answer the question – Where is Jesus Christ today? We know that almost 2000 years ago Jesus Christ was crucified and in his obedience all the way to death he redeemed mankind from eternal separation from God. Then 3 days later he was raised from the dead by God his Father. Jesus Christ is the only man ever in the history of all mankind that has been raised from the dead and is eternally alive seated at God’s right hand. There is a short sharing on a section of scripture that I read a couple weeks ago. Since that time it has been on my heart and mind almost daily. The verses are I Thessalonians 5:1 – 3. In these verses I see the tremendous need for God’s people to share the good news of Jesus Christ to a perishing world. I trust these verses will touch your heart as they did mine. Also there is an awesome 10 minute sharing by Dan Mohler on our identity in Christ. Music is provided by for King and Country, Casting Crowns, Lisa Tracy and John Kano.

Episode 50: He is Risen! Interview – Mike Verdicchio – Minister, Author and Teacher www.confidenceandjoy.com Three of the greatest words ever spoken are “He is Risen!” Jesus Christ is the only one that has died and then been raised from the dead to his perfect, new spiritual body. He was God’s perfect sacrifice by his obedience to do all that his Father requested and all that the law demanded in order to redeem you and me. God showed his approval of the Lord Jesus Christ by raising him from the dead. What an incredible moment in time for all mankind. Jesus Christ is alive today. In the scriptures we read several of the occurrences where Jesus Christ appeared to people in his resurrected body. We also see what his resurrection means to us today. Our interview segment is with Mike Verdicchio. Mike is an ordained minister, author, Bible teacher and radio broadcaster. He has a blog which includes both audio and video.

Episode 48: Living Life in Light of Christ’s Return Interview – Dave Lacine – from C12 Group America’s leading Christian CEO forum Today we look at the imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The reason I use the word imminent is because the word imminent literally means “likely to occur at any moment.” Don’t worry I’m not going to predict a day or a time or an hour because God’s Word tells us that no man knows the day or time of the Lord’s return. Only God knows! But the Lord Jesus Christ could return at any moment……Before you take your next breath. The first century church anticipated the Lord’s return to be at anytime. We see the Thessalonians as a wonderful example as to how to live as we patiently wait for God’s son from heaven. Our interview segment is with Dave Lacine. Dave is with C12 Group.

The Creator of the heavens and the earth. The one who put the stars, the planets and moons in motion; the one who designed all of creation that our eyes can see…..He formed man out of the dust of the ground and then He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and then man became a living soul. God’s image is eternal life spirit. His image is light and His image is love. God is Spirit. God is Light. God is Love. The creator took who He is and placed it inside of man which He formed from the dust of the ground. Why would the creator of the heavens and the earth do that? Because He is love.

I have those kind of days and I’ve no doubt that you do as well. It’s important that we know and remember that the circumstances of life do not define our loving Heavenly Father.
