Bible Time with My Mom (ft. Pastor Amy Battaglia)
It's Mother's Day weekend and I had the amazing opportunity to sit down with a very special and important guest -- my mom. My mom is awesome! She has taught me so much, and I can honestly say that she has a lot do with the person that I am today. Today we talk about the Power of Prayer (especially in regards to your children), Women Preachers, Purity, Pleading the Blood of Jesus and so much more. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did, and happy Mother's Day to all the amazing faith-filled mothers out there who raised us right!

FAITH IN ACTION: HEBREWS 11
Modern Christianity has us feeling like we don’t have to do anything. “Jesus did all the work, so I don’t have to do anything!” While, yes, this is true when it comes to our salvation (we can do nothing to earn it), it doesn’t mean we as Christians just sit around like a bunch of lazy bums and do nothing for the rest of our lives! God gave us all gifts, and it’s up to us to use our gifts with the time that He gave us here on this earth to advance His Kingdom. It all starts with being born again, but once we are born again, that’s when the real work begins! We are called not just to have faith, but to put our faith to action for “faith without action is dead.” So, I guess the question is: what are you doing with what God has given you to bring people to Him before He returns? We should all be doing something. The “Faith Giants” in Hebrews 11 weren’t just commended for how great their faith was – they were commended because of what they DID with their faith. We have to DO something with our faith! Social Media: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time. God bless.

The Prayer of Faith
Don't give up praying. You may be praying for something, and maybe you've been praying for a long time -- don't give up. Jesus encouraged His disciples in Luke 18 not to give up on what they were praying for. It may take days, it may take weeks, it may take months or years -- but if you pray for anything according to God's Will, it will be done, and it will be done in HIS perfect timing. The prayer of faith is powerful and effective. Don't lose hope, and don't lose faith. SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time. God bless.

The "Woke Right", Zionism, and the Art of Debating ft. Micah Kunkle
I had a great time sitting down with my friend, Micah Kunkle, to talk a little bit about his background in debate and how one can be an effective debater who stands for truth without wavering. We covered a wide range of topics in this episode including life in the womb, Christian dating, the current state of the Republican Party, Zionism, and more. Micah is a great guy and he is very smart! I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I had filming it!

Jesus On Trial
Jesus's trial leading to the cross was very strange, unusual, and highly illegal. The most fascinating part about it, however, is how closely the events of Jesus's trial line up with Old Testament Prophecy, especially concerning Isaiah 52-53. On today's episode, we start with Old Testament prophecy and see how accurately it lines up with Jesus's trial before Pilate and the High Priest. As you watch today's episode, keep the following verse, Isaiah 53:7 in mind: "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth".

An Empty House: Matthew 12:43-45
Do not allow your house to be empty. Your body is a house— as a matter of fact, it’s the Holy Spirit’s house if you are born again, and it’s so important to fill our house with good things! Our eye is the lamp of the body, and if we allow bad things into our body, we will be full of darkness, and we give a foothold to the enemy. If we allow good things into our body, we will be filled with light and people will see that light and glorify God in heaven! It’s so important to fill ourselves with good things daily. Fill yourself with the Word, spend time in prayer, speak positive and Godly things, and surround yourself with good people and you will absolutely fill your house with good things! We talk about this and more on today’s episode. Enjoy! SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time. God bless.

The Real Story Behind St. Patrick's Day (Morning Bible Time)
March 17th wasn’t always about luck, rainbows, and leprechauns — in fact it wasn’t about that at all! St. Patrick’s Day is deeply rooted in Christianity and the true story behind it should serve as a reminder for how important it is to love our enemies, pray for them, and share the gospel with everyone. St. Patrick’s Day is about being the light that DRIVES OUT the darkness. Today we also read Ecclesiastes 10 and talk about how important it is to watch our words, and to speak wisely and boldly. Remember, one bit of foolishness can ruin your entire reputation and set you back. That’s why it’s very important to stay on the path by keeping your focus on Jesus and the Word.

Do Not Give the Devil a Foothold
Stop giving the devil a foothold. Stop giving him a reason to rob, kill, and destroy. We give the devil a foothold through continuous, unrepentant sin. Bitterness, envy, anger, lust, addiction — all of these things give the devil room to come in and cause sickness, fear, anxiety, and in some cases, even death. We need to stop giving the devil a foothold by refusing to give into our fleshly desires and by beginning to live life by the Spirit. Thank you for tuning in! See you next time. God bless.

Spend Your Days Wisely (Morning Bible Time)
Spend Your Days Wisely Ecclesiastes 9 Today we talked about how important it is to utilize the time we are given on earth to not only enjoy life, but to hear God’s voice and obey. One day, you won’t be here on earth anymore, and that’s why it’s so important to use our time on earth wisely and with purpose. We should be spending every day in service to the Lord, because He is the reason we are here. Amen! Join me LIVE on Instagram @bibletimewithcharlie on Tuesdays & Thursdays at 8:30am PST!

The Remnant of Israel
There are two sides to the Israel argument: one side believes that the church has replaced Israel as far as God’s covenant with them goes, and the other side believes that God has not yet broken His covenant with Israel and that there remains a remnant of Jewish people who will be saved in the last days. In debate, both sides usually refer to scripture found in Romans 9, 10, and 11. Today, we read all three chapters to see which side of the argument most lines up with Scripture. These are important topics that should be talked about in the days we are living in so we can better understand the times and Jesus’s ultimate return. Enjoy!

Reading: Ecclesiastes 8 Be thankful for what you have and enjoy the lot that God has given you in this life. Our days here are short compared to eternity — so enjoy your life here on this earth while keeping God in the center of it all. Spend time with your loved ones, and spend time with the Lord.

Woke Culture & the Church ft. Sophia Lorey & Shon Thornburg
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sophia Lorey and Shon Thornburg on today’s episode. Sophia Lorey is the Outreach Director for California Family Council and the host of the podcast “This is a Woman”. Sophia stands for truth in a world full of lies, especially regarding the war on gender. Sophia defends girls who have to deal with biological males, who identify as females, wanting to compete in women’s sports. It’s a crazy world out there! In today’s episode we talk gender, life in the womb, and all things “woke” and how important it is for the church to stand against the lies and stand up for TRUTH!

Don't Dwell on the Past (Morning Bible Time)
It can be very easy to fall into nostalgia and to begin thinking about all the “good times” we had in our past, before we truly gave our life to God. Solomon encourages us not to do that because it only leads to sorrow and regret and it keeps us in a state of depression — never able to move forward in life. Instead, seek wisdom by seeking the Lord and allow Him to guide each and every step of your life. One day at a time.

Being a Voice for the Voiceless (ft. Shon Thornburg & Pastor Brian Buell)
Today I sit down with Shon Thornburg and Pastor Brian Buell from Love Life USA to discuss how important it is for the church to stand in the gap for the unborn. Since 2021, 1,000 babies have been saved in California as a result of the church showing up to abortion centers and praying. That’s it — not protesting, not yelling, just praying. Prayer is so much more powerful than protest. Prayer gets the job done! Not only are babies being saved through Love Life, but souls are being saved as well and lives are being brought into the Kingdom of God. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, and if you or your church want to get involved with what Love Life is doing, visit www.lovelife.org.

Only Jesus Can Satisfy Us (Morning Bible Time)
We are only given a few days here on this earth compared to eternity. We can spend those few days constantly chasing after the next best thing, never satisfied, or we can spend those few days chasing after Jesus and encouraging others to do the same, which will keep us in a constant state of satisfaction.

How to Combat Loneliness
The number one prayer request I receive today is “Charlie, will you pray for all the lonely people?” And my response is always, “Yes, of course.” And then I got to thinking — as born again, Spirit-filled believers, we should never be lonely, because we have Jesus living on the inside of us through His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our advocate, our comforter, our friend. When we realize that God is not distant from us, but that He is part of us, walking with us, holding our hand everyday, we should never feel lonely. We talk about this, and more ways to combat loneliness in today’s episode. Enjoy! SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! God bless.

Loving with Action and Truth
Love is so much more than just words and speech, as 1 John 3:18 reminds us... true love is loving with action and in truth. Jesus loved with action and in truth. We begin our study today in 1 John 4 where it talks about how God is love, and if we really want to know how to love, we must know God. Jesus is God, and in this world we are like Jesus. So if we want to perfect our love walk, it's important to read about how Jesus loved people. Jesus loved people with so much more than just fluffy words and speech -- which count for nothing -- but He loved with action and in truth. Every time Jesus came across a sinner, He told them to repent and leave their life of sin -- not because He was looking to condemn them, but because He wanted to save them. So often we think to love someone is to be nice to them or tell them what they want to hear, however that is not what love is. Love is caring for someone so much that you are willing to tell them the truth-- especially if it's something they don't want to hear-- in order to save their soul. This is how Jesus loved and this is how we should love too. SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time. God bless.

Fulfill Your Vow to God (Morning Bible Time)
Talk is cheap! If you can’t keep a promise, don’t make one. So many of us say we are going to do so many things and God says, “Watch your mouth.” When we tell God we are going to do something, we must do it. Whatever promise you have made to God, the time is now to do it. Don’t wait any longer!

Tithes & Offerings: Are They Necessary?
People have been asking me to do a video on the importance of giving, more specifically, tithes and offerings. I’ve tried to avoid talking about this as much as possible, because to be honest, it’s uncomfortable! But, many people want to know what the Bible says about it and the Lord has placed it on my heart to talk about it. In reality, it’s selfish NOT to talk about it, especially if you know the benefits of it… and there are many benefits that come with giving. Not only does it benefit you, but it benefits the Lord’s people — and that’s what it is all about. Enjoy! SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thanks for tuning in!! God bless. See you next time.

Jesus Prayed for You
Jesus prayed for many things while He was here on this earth. He prayed that His Father may be glorified, He prayed for His disciples, and He prayed for YOU. What exactly did Jesus pray concerning us? He prayed that we would be one in the Body of Christ — that there would be complete unity, and that all those the Father gave Him would be able to spend eternity with Him in heaven. Now, we as a Body of Christ have a part to play in answering Jesus’s prayer. How are we doing? Are we doing everything we can with what God has given us to contribute to the Body of Christ, thus bringing souls into the Kingdom? Or, are we burying our gifts in the sand? It’s important to ask ourselves: are we doing everything we can to answer Jesus’s prayer concerning the Body of Christ? Social Media: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time.

Why I Believe in the Rapture
In today’s episode, we talk about why I believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture, that is, that Jesus will come back and take His people, the Body of Christ, before a time of great tribulation that will then lead into Jesus Christ’s reign as King here on this earth. Time and time again throughout the Bible, we see that God spares the righteous from destruction. For example, God spares Noah and his family from the flood, while the wicked are left behind. Sodom and Gomorrah is another example. God spares Lot and His family, but the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are destroyed and the people are left to endure the tribulation. The righteous are spared, the wicked perish. I believe Scripture also tells us that we as Christians will be spared from the great tribulation in the end times. Regardless of what you think about the Rapture, one thing is for certain, we must make sure to keep our eyes on Jesus and we should be examining ourselves everyday to make sure we are living a life that is pleasing to Him. At the end of the day, whether you believe in a Rapture or not, that’s what truly matters. Enjoy! SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time. God bless.

HOW TO BUILD YOUR FAITH
The biggest reason we don't see miracles in the body of Christ today is because there is a big lack of faith. Every time the disciples weren't able to perform a miracle, it was because they lacked the faith to do so. Even Jesus says this. When Jesus went to His hometown, He wasn't able to do many miracles there because of "their lack of faith". We need to build our faith as Christians if we want to start seeing our prayers answers. God will give you healing, peace, protection, opportunity -- but when you go before Him in prayer, you MUST believe that He will give it to you. If you don't believe it, you won't receive it -- and that is just the truth. We talk about this and more on today's episode, while also talking about ways in which we can increase our faith with God's help. Enjoy! Here are some scriptures to put your faith in… HEALING - Jeremiah 17:14 - Proverbs 4:20-22 - Psalm 103:3 - Joel 3:10 - Isaiah 58:8 - Psalm 118:17 PEACE - Isaiah 26:3 - Philippians 4:7 - Psalm 4:8 - John 14:27 - John 16:33 JOY - Psalm 16:11 - Nehemiah 8:10 - Psalm 94:19 - John 16:24 - Psalm 30:5 NO ANXIETY - 1 Peter 5:7 - Matthew 11:28 - Psalm 55:22 - Isaiah 41:10 - 2 Timothy 1:7 FINANCES - Philippians 4:19 - Psalm 112:3 - Malachi 3:10-12 - Luke 6:38 Thank you for tuning in!

TREASURES IN HEAVEN
We can spend a lot of time here on earth striving for treasures and rewards that will not last. You may have heard the saying... "you will never see a hearse with a trailer hitch", meaning you won't be able to take your earthly treasures with you when you die. And that is so true! So what DOES matter when you die? What truly matters is what you did here on this earth for God. How did your spend your time here on earth advancing His Kingdom? How did you spend your time serving others? How did you spend your time loving others? These are all things we should pay attention to during our time here on earth. Take 2026 to really go before the Lord and ask Him what it is HE wants you to do for His Kingdom. Love you! SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time. God bless.

8 Heavenly Habits for 2026
The New Year is upon us and so many of us have things we want to change in the coming New Year. We call them "New Years Resolutions" -- they often include exercising, eating better, working harder, etc. However, the most important resolution we should all have as Christians is seeking God's face and perfecting our relationship with Him. In today's episode, we go over 8 ways, backed up by Scripture, in which we can do just that! Enjoy, and happy New Year! SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time.

The Great I AM
In today's episode, we cover "The Great I Am" starting in Exodus 3 and taking us all the way to Jesus's words in John 8:58. As we've talked about before, Jesus is God, and He says so Himself time and time again throughout the Gospels, particularly in the book of John. The Book of Hebrews reminds us that Jesus remains the same forever, He never changes. If that's the case, that means the same God in the New Testament (Jesus) is the same God in the Old Testament, and therefore when we read what God says and does in the Old Testament, it should give us a clearer understanding as to who Jesus really is. Jesus is God. Jesus is "I Am". SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time. God bless, and Merry Christmas!

Can You LOSE Your Salvation? ft. Nick Kassouf & Matthew Logan
I had the great honor of talking theology with two of my good friends Nick Kassouf and Matthew Logan. Both have appeared on my podcast before, and we've had some great conversations. It was great to get the three of us together in one room! Nick is a Catholic, Matthew is a Calvinist, and I would consider myself somewhat of an Arminian. We agree on a lot of things, but of course, we also disagree on some stuff.

JESUS IS THE GATE
Jesus is the gate. He is the ONLY WAY to salvation. In today’s episode, we dive into John 10 where Jesus talks of the gate, the gatekeeper, the sheep, and the thief who is ready to rob, steal, and destroy. Jesus is the gate by which the sheep (people) must enter in order to inherit eternal life. God is the gatekeeper who opens the door for the Good Shepherd to come in. The thief is Satan, or people that Satan uses in order to lead people away from Jesus, the Good Shepherd, and into darkness. The world is full of thieves today… even in the church. Be careful not to listen to them. Instead, keep your eyes and your ears on the Truth. Keep it on the Word of God. Anybody who tries to point you away from Scripture is indeed leading you astray. Do not be lead astray! Keep your attention on God’s Word ALWAYS. SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time! God bless.

The Christian History of Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! On today’s episode, we dive into a bit of the history of Thanksgiving, which is really quite fascinating and has given me a greater appreciation for the holiday. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving as a national holiday in the midst of the Civil War. Despite the darkness which loomed over the United States of America, Lincoln encouraged a time of prayer and thanksgiving to God for all of the good things He had provided American citizens with, even in the face of heavy challenges. This should serve as a reminder for us as Americans today to be thankful for everything God HAS given us rather than focusing on the things we do not yet have. Take the time this Thanksgiving to thank God for everything He has done for you, especially the fact that He sent his Son to die on the cross and rise again so that we do not have to face eternal condemnation. THAT is something to be thankful for. We end this episode with some of my favorite “thanksgiving” Bible verses and by sharing all of the things our listeners are thankful for, which they submitted on Instagram. Thank you to all who watch and listen to Bible Time with Charlie. I’m thankful FOR YOU! Love you all. Happy Thanksgiving!

Should We Still Follow the Ten Commandments?
What do the 10 commands that were written to the Israelites 3,000 years ago have to do with us today? A LOT. The 10 Commandments are so relevant to us today and as Christians we should absolutely not dismiss them. Jesus Himself spoke of the 10 commandments and He even fulfilled God’s intention for them in the New Testament by getting more specific about what some of the commands mean. We dive into each of the 10 commandments in today’s episode and carefully evaluate them and ourselves to see if we are truly living up to obeying God’s commands.

Idolatry, Sin, False Prophets, and End Times: The Book of Jude

We cover the all the basis in today's episode and we touch on all the hype surrounding Israel as well.

The Word of God Heals
The Bible is more than just a book. It is alive (Hebrews 4:12), it is our medicine (Proverbs 4:22) and it is our guiding light (Psalm 119:105). In a world that is afraid, broken, sick, confused, and angry, it is SO important to remain in God's Word daily. It is the only way to avoid the hurt and pain caused by this world. By reading your Bible everyday, you will find that life will become so much better and you will feel different. We need to get into the habit of daily Bible reading and prayer.

God Looks at the Heart
Today, we dive into Romans 2. In this chapter, Paul talks about God's righteous judgement and that it isn't who you are, where you come from, or how you look on the outside that matters, it's all about what is on the inside. God looks at the heart. I can be the greatest "Christian" in the world on the outside -- I can wear a Jesus hat and a cross necklace and have a huge smile on my face -- but if my heart is corrupt, then none of that matters. We can't just look and talk like a Christian, we must ACT like one, whether we are out in public or alone in our room. Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.

Living in a Pagan Society: Romans 1
On today's episode, we dive into the book of Romans, who it was written to, and why. Rome was a melting pot of politics, lifestyle, and culture. During the time of Jesus, it was running rampant with all kinds of sin and idolatry. Rome was a polytheistic society, which meant they didn't believe in one, single God. They believed in many gods, and even saw their own emperor as a god. You can imagine how difficult it must have been to get the Gospel to such a pagan society! However, Paul's letter to the Romans lays out the Gospel so clearly and truthfully, that Rome produced some very powerful Christians. Christians who persevered in the face of a worldly, sinful society. Even in today's day and age, it can feel like we are living in a pagan society, and it can be tough to be Christlike and spread the gospel in such a time as this, however, I think we can all learn something from Paul's letter to the Romans. I think if we read it and apply it to our lives today, we will see that the book of Romans is still very relevant. SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for watching! See you next time.

What's Your Motive?
When we serve God here on this earth, we must do it FOR HIM. Not for ourselves, not so that we look good in front of other people, not for money, not for earthly rewards that will not last -- we do it FOR HIM. If we have the wrong motives here on earth when serving the Lord, we will receive NO REWARD from our Father in heaven. Jesus makes this clear in Matthew 6. It's so important to ask ourselves: What's my motive? SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for watching. See you next time. God bless!

The Turning Point
The events that have unfolded over the past couple of weeks have been enormous. From Iryna Zarutska to Charlie Kirk, it should leave people wondering "what's going on?!" Paul gave us the answer 2,000 years ago in 2 Timothy Chapter 3: "There will be terrible times in the last days." We are living in terrible times, folks. However, we are not to be afraid. Now more than over, Christians everywhere must use their voice to boldly proclaim the Truth written in the Word of God. Christians everywhere must boldly proclaim JESUS. Charlie Kirk was a threat to the Enemy, but the Enemy will not be able to silence him or his message. His message will only grow louder and bigger as the future unfolds. The United States of America suffered a loss. The Body of Christ lost a member of the family. But the fight will continue and the battle will be won. God wins. This is the Turning Point.

Being Part of God's Family
Sometimes, it might seems like we have nobody to turn to -- no friends, no family. You may have experienced isolation because of your faith. You may have lost close friends because of your faith. When this happens, Jesus tells us to take heart because "if the world hates you, keep in mind it hated me first." When it seems as though we have nobody to turn to, turn to Jesus. He is your family. He is your friend. The day you become baptized and born again into the Kingdom, you become a child of God -- you become part of God's family, and within God's family are other people who have given their life to Christ -- these are your brothers and sisters in Christ. Remember that the next time you feel alone. You have family. You are part of God's family! SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! God bless. See you next time.

The Eucharist: Is It REAL Flesh & Blood?! Ft. Nick Kassouf
It was great having Nick Kassouf back on the show to talk more about some of the core beliefs and doctrine of Catholicism. Today, we talk about the Eucharist. As a protestant, I believe the practice of communion to be a remembrance of what Jesus did for us on the cross. It is a symbol. When we take communion, it is a time to reflect on Christ's sacrifice as well as a time to examine ourselves and make sure we are living according to God's Word. Nick believes, as a Catholic, in the idea of transubstantiation, which is the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox doctrine that the physical substance of the bread and wine in the Eucharist is transformed into the actual body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, while the external appearances (color, taste, texture) of bread and wine remain. We dive deep into the topic and discuss our differences and why we believe what we believe! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

Preparing the Way for the Lord
You and I have a very similar calling to John the Baptist. John the Baptist was called by God to prepare the way for Jesus's coming. We, as Christians, are called by God to prepare the way for Jesus's SECOND coming. What are you doing with your short amount of time here on this earth in order to prepare people's hearts for Jesus's return? In today's episode, we talk about the life of John the Baptist, the origins of baptism, and we even discuss whether or not water baptism is necessary for salvation. Enjoy!

Why Do You Doubt?
So often I wonder why people beg God for their prayers to be answered... Hebrews 4:16 tells us to "approach God's throne with confidence". What does it mean, then, to approach His throne with confidence? It means to believe that the work that He did on the cross is finished, and that by faith in Him we are children of God, and as God's children, He knows how to give good gifts to those who ASK HIM! If God's Word promises peace, believe it, don't beg for it. If God's Word promises healing, believe it, don't beg for it. It's already yours. Stop doubting. It doesn't make sense to beg for something that's already yours. When you're believing for a prayer to be answered, approach God with confidence, thanking Him that what He has promised in His Word is yours as a child of God. We need to change the attitude of our prayers. Start to pray with confidence. No more doubt! SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time. God bless.

Jesus, The Bread of Life
Jesus says in John 6 that He is "the bread of life". What does He mean by this? He later says that unless we "eat his flesh and drink His blood, we have no life". What does He mean by this? Catholics say we are partaking in eating His actual flesh and drinking His actual blood through the practice of Holy Communion, but is this REALLY what Jesus was saying? Or was He speaking spiritually? Jesus later says His words are "full of spirit and full of life" and that "the flesh counts for nothing". If the flesh counts for nothing, then what would be the point of eating Jesus's actual flesh and drinking His actual blood? What was Jesus REALLY saying when He claimed to be "the bread of life"? I believe Communion is important, but when partaking in it, are we really eating Jesus's actual flesh and drinking His actual blood? We talk about this and more in this week's episode. Enjoy!

Resist the Devil
James 4:7 tells us to "Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you." Submitting to God means seeking His Word and living life according to it. Then and only then can we resist the devil. It's also very important to know the Word of God. When Satan tempted Jesus in the desert, Jesus responded with the Word of God. Every time the devil threw a thought of temptation at Him, Jesus responded with, "It is written!" We should all learn from Jesus's example and when Satan tempts us, we should respond with the Word of God -- "It is written!" There is a scripture for every challenge you might be facing. Find those Scriptures and use them! The Word of God is powerful and it helps to know it because there will come a time when you will need it.

It's Not God's Fault
Bad things happen as a result of sin and as a result of people LACKING KNOWLEDGE. People don't know what to pray for because they don't know how to pray. They do not know how to back up their prayers with Scripture because they don't know Scripture! They don't know the power of God's Word because they do not read it. They haven't been taught. Hosea 4:6 says, "My people perish because of a lack of knowledge." The reason terrible things are allowed to happen in our lives is because we don't know how to take up our shield of faith and stop them from happening. God GAVE you His Word. He TOLD YOU to arm yourself with it DAILY. It's up to us whether or not we decide to do that. Do it! It's time to KNOW YOUR SCRIPTURE! Social Media: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in!

Dealing with Sin in the Church
In today's episode, we talk about what it means to truly fear the Lord and not man. Part of fearing the Lord is listening to Scripture when it corrects, rebukes, and trains us. People have a hard time hearing the truth in church today, and pastors have a hard time preaching it. Church is meant for us as believers to spur one another up and encourage one other towards love and good deeds, as Hebrews 10:24-25 says. If you aren't constantly examining yourself and asking yourself and God if there's anything in your life that needs changing, you just aren't doing it right. Meet with the Lord and meet with fellow believers often so you can make sure your walk is as blameless as possible during your time here on this earth.

My Conversation with a Calvinist
I had a great time sitting down with my good friend, Matthew Logan, and discussing some of his views as a Calvinist. Calvinism is the Protestant theological system of John Calvin and his successors, which develops Luther's doctrine of justification by faith alone and emphasizes the grace of God and the doctrine of predestination. In today's episode, we talk about predestination, free will, God's elect, women preachers, and more. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

The Future of Israel: What Does the Bible Say About It?
It can be very easy for us to come up with our own conclusion when it comes to what's going on this world today, but the Bible has all of the answers. If we would stop paying attention to what the world has to say, what "influencers" have to say, and what people in general have to say, and we just look into the Word, we can see that God has it all laid out for us. Israel is mentioned throughout the entire Bible, Old and New Testament. We see Israel at the beginning of the Bible, and we see it at the end. Israel will be here for a long time, it has to be. It's in the Word. Anyone wishing for Israel's downfall has clearly not read the Bible, and yet I see many people, even Christians, calling for Israel to fail. Whether you like it or not, Israel will remain until the end. In today's episode, we talk about why. Enjoy! SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time. God bless.

FISHERS OF MEN
When Simon Peter was first called by Jesus, he was out fishing on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus performed an amazing miracle and then called Peter to follow Him and become a "fisher of men". Peter thought he was unworthy to follow Jesus, and yet Jesus chose him anyways, specifically, for a divine purpose. 3 years after this first encounter, and after the Resurrection, Jesus appears to Peter and the disciples again on the Sea of Galilee and performs the EXACT SAME MIRACLE. What is the significance of this? Tune in to find out! SOCIAL MEDIA: @bibletimewithcharlie Thank you for tuning in! See you next time. God bless.
