Day 353: Sharing the Gospel - The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

[@roknrone]

Day 353..let's do this 💪..prayers for Father Mike and all the BIY family who are traveling through God's word together, learning how to interpret his word 🙏 🙌

[@donnajeankeith7771]

We are so rewarded to have Father Mike as an example of our to live and share our lives! God bless us all!

[@shay-car]

The gospel will not only be advanced through preaching, but through sharing ourselves. What a powerful insight from Thessalonians today!

[@rm-paradise]

Father, may everything that I do this day, whether it be full of joy or pain, whether it be full of love or of grief, I ask that everything I go through today be offered to you just like Jesus offered everything to you. It is in his name we pray. Amen. 12/18/2024

[@gsteele89]

December 19: "Always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who calls you to account for the hope that is in you." 1 Peter 3:15 When I fully accepted that Christ Jesus is the true redeemer of humanity I began to see Him as more than Lord. I began to see him for the spirit which I believe God intended. I began to see him as HOPE. When times are tough, which they often can be, I lean into the Lord to provide me with strength, faith, and answers when I am without. He has never failed to answer my prayers when I seek guidance. He has never failed to open my heart to forgiveness. He keeps my soul pliable to reconciliation in areas that I thought were inconceivable. He has replaced my anger and resentment with peace and understanding. He has made me a better person. He has created a healing inside of me that I never thought possible. May the transformation that Christ has created offer hope to anyone who is as broken as I once was. There is enough hope for us all. Amen.

[@jeanm2982]

12/2023 Listening to Day 353, I finally got my aha moment. For years, I have heard the Catholic Church criticized by my non-friends because we are taught to pray for souls deceased. I never had a biblical answer as they always pointed out what Abraham said to the deceased rich man who requested he ask deceased Lazarus to teach his living brethern. Today, after years of reading the Bible thru yearly. I heard about preaching the gospel to the deceased! How did I miss it? I am now in my mid-70's and you read it today . Thank God I found Bible in a year. May God bless you. I have learned and absorbed so much this year. Pray for you and all your fellow delivers of the Word.

[@maryannagibson5838]

As Fr. Mike says "It's incredible", yes indeed God himself and shares his gospel to us and to our families and etc......

[@elizabethhunter4525]

I think you are absolutely right about people being won over by relationships, a couple of weeks ago I was in a busy city centre and someone was shouting into a microphone about Jesus. The Christian lady I was with agreed with me that he probably would not get any converts, because it just came across as noise and annoying! Much as I admire their pluck, most people would just walk past. It is the same with the door knockers (usually JW's) they have to do 10hours a week I heard somewhere. The Mormon lads tend to just strike up a conversation in the street, they are unfailingly polite. However I think these days the most effective thing you can do is talk about faith when you are at work, the big questions of life come up and it is there that conversations flow naturally.

[@giarose6493]

God make me Holy

[@janicemulry8140]

Yes, being ready to defend my faith with ‘gentleness and reverence’ is the key! It’s so easy to become defensive when something so precious to you is questioned or challenged….. I will practice this and hopefully sow seeds of curiosity in the listener’s ear - rather than the satisfaction of seeing me getting rattled! Thankyou once again Fr Mike, Jeff Cavins, Elizabeth, Lyndsay, Marisa and all who have worked on this enormous project! I have found it to be life-changing. 🙏🥰

I am happy to say that I have turned most of my dear friends onto this Bible study and they are all anxious to begin on January 1. By the way, not one is Catholic. Both my husband and I have done this together for the past year, giving our first fruits of the morning to this study. It has been a true blessing and transformative. May the good Lord bless Father Mike for this miraculous endeavor.

[@christinetuthill8249]

I am praying for you Father

[@terricolarusso2639]

I agree! My life has been transformed by this podcast. I have never been able to commit to doing anything and to have accomplished almost one entire year was so surprising. And yet I know why I was able to do it. From day one I felt the love of Our Lord in a way I never have before. I thank Ascension, Fr Mike and Jeff Cavins for the work they do to spread the good news of Jesus Christ! I will continue to pray for you all till I go to glory

[@filipinainphilly5453]

[@janevonvoros8786]

[@susansemple8763]

I think Father Mike loves us like Paul loved the Thessalonians. We are blessed.

[@marianmilne6009]

I know first hand that when you don't walk with God your life can be so difficult, yet sometimes you continue to do things your own way. BUT, when you turn your life over to GOD, I can't put it into word to give it justice, but my life has been transformed and joy fills my heart. Thank you Fr Mike and everyone who makes it possible for bringing us this podcast.. Praying for you and everyone here. GOD bless🙏❤️🙏

[@WashingtonDC99]

O LORD GOD..... I THANK YOU TODAY FOR THE BLESSINGS TOWARDS ME AND MY FAMILY. THANK YOU GOD FOR MY NEW FAMILY MEMBER THAT WAS BORN TODAY.... baby Oliver.

[@thegospelmessenger1corinth634]

Maria Quintana - Father??? Salvation is not getting your sins forgiven, it's believing they already are! We are all sinners and fall short in God his glory - how to be saved - this is the gospel of salvation - 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4 by trusting and believing the gospel of salvation you are saved and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise till the day of redemption and nothing can pluck you out of the Father his hand - (In whom we have redemption through his blood , even the forgiveness of sins: (Colossians 1:14 - King James Version) - eternal security is a free gift - it's a promise and God Almighty cannot lie!!! Have a blessed day! This is the gospel of salvation - 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4 Witnesses of Christ's resurrection. 1) Moreover,brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2) ''By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4) And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. IT IS FINISHED... Paid in Full !!! But, You Must BELIEVE IT - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV. 2 Timothy 2 King James Version 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Romans 2:16 King James Version 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. (Paul's Gospel - 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4). KJV - Bible verses about Jesus is God John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 - And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 10:30 - I and my Father are one. Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 20:28 - And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. John 8:58 - Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. G - GRACE R - RIGHTLY A - APPLIED C - CHANGES E - EVERYTHING Religion is always dealing with you and what you're doing and what you're not doing, anytime you're sitting around thinking what should I be doing you're under religion, the grace of God is dealing what Christ did. Under religion man always says look what I'm doing for you God and under grace Christ says look what I did for you man. Under religion man says look how I went to church under the grace of God Jesus said look how I went to Calvary. Under religion man says look at how I was raised in my denomination and under grace Christ says look how I was raised from the dead. Under religion man says look at how I gave my money and under grace Jesus says look at how I gave my life. Under religion man says look God at how I confessed my sins and under grace Jesus says look man how I took away your sins. Under religion man says look God at how I stood up against sin and under the grace of God Jesus says look man at how I died for your sins. Under religion man says look God at how I judged the lost world and under grace Jesus says look man at how I saved the lost world. Under religion man says look God at how I got up and marched against these evildoers and under grace Jesus says look man how I suffered and died for evildoers. Under religion man says look God at how I bow down to you and under grace Jesus says look man and how I became one of you. Under religion man says look God at how I healed the sick and under grace Jesus says look man how I raised the dead. Under religion man says look God at how I spoke in tongues and under grace Jesus says look man at how I spoke in life. Under religion man says look God at how successful my life was and under grace Jesus says looked me at how successful my death was. Religions my friends is always man trying to reach up to God with self effort to be accepted by God. Through classic Christianity was God reaching down to man through Jesus with love and acceptance and that's why Paul said we preach Christ and Christ crucified a stumbling block to the Jews foolishness to the Gentiles but to those whom God has called both Jews and Gentile Christ the power of God and wisdom. Source ''Truth Time Radio''. Like many "Christians" today, Satan believes Jesus died on the cross, but not for HIS sins. He believes Jesus has risen, but not for HIS eternal life. Satan believes the event of the cross but never put his trust in Christ's finished work for salvation. Salvation is not: Believing there is a God. (Satan believes that) Salvation is not: Believing Christ was the Messiah. (Satan believes that) Salvation is not even... Believing Christ died, was buried and rose the third day. (Satan believes that also) Salvation is: Believing Christ died for YOUR EVERY SIN and trusting that He rose to give you eternal life IN HIM! Something Satan and most Christians want no part of because of their PRIDE! If denominationalists truly believed Christ forgave their sins, they wouldn't spend so much time trying to GET them forgiven. One tells you to pray for forgiveness. One tells you to confess for forgiveness. One tells you to believe for forgiveness. One tells you to repent for forgiveness. One tells you to be baptized for forgiveness. And keep in mind, all of these folk with a straight face will tell you Christ DIED for your sins. Welcome to Nutsville!!! I think Dorothy got lost on the yellow brick road. Today I unapologetically proclaim that there is only one way to be saved, and it has nothing to do with getting your sins forgiven. Salvations through FAITH. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Without faith it is impossible to please God. Salvation comes to those who are ready to give up on THEIR performance and rest their faith in JESUS' performance. The path to salvation is narrow. SO narrow that nothing you do will fit. Satan will never be saved for the same reason he was kicked out of heaven. P-R-I-D-E. (Isaiah 14:12-14) Read carefully and count how many times he says "I". How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Satan is obviously a Narcissist! Like a vain person in front of the mirror, five times in only three verses he boasts of himself. Pride keeps Satan from being saved as it does most of the world. They have fallen victim to SELFIANITY and are incapable of letting go and letting God. Incapable of taking their filthy hands off their salvation and allowing God to save them by HIS finished work! If you say --- "I said a prayer for forgiveness." "I confessed for forgiveness." "I believed for forgiveness." "I repented for forgiveness." "I was baptized for forgiveness." Then sadly you have fallen for the five I's just like Satan. Salvation is not getting your sins forgiven, it's believing they already ARE! To be saved, you must first get "I" out of the way. You only get two educations, the one you're given and the one you give yourself! Source ''Truth Time Radio'' for solid teaching/rightly dividing the word of truth - also here on youtube - learn the truth and unlearn the lies! Here is a list of statements that a legalist might say or think. 1. God's love for me depends on what I do. 2. Meeting the expectations of others, especially those in my congregation or in positions of authority, is very important. 3. I try hard to obey God and it irritates me that others think they can get away with avoiding the same level of dedication. 4. My main goal in life is to try to gain God's favor by doing things that will impress him. 5. My sense of spiritual well-being is linked to a Christian leader or membership in my church rather than a personal relationship with God. 6. I tell my children not to do something in church or around other Christian families that I allow in my home. 7. I believe my way is the best way and that most other Christians may be sincere, but are sincerely wrong. 8. I sometimes worry that people might take advantage of grace if it's preached too much - people might think they can do anything they want. 9. After being around Christians for a while I feel drained - weary of putting up a false front. 10. It’s not possible that someone with lower standards than me could love God as much as me.

[@christiandpaul631]

It's my experience wen you tell Protestants and Atheist's that this world is suffering and not the prize they get really mad. They feel that this world and any other is to be enjoyed and enriched by God. They have that Joel Osteen mentality that God is just waiting to bring you a winning lottery ticket to life. They think this life is all important to live and enjoy. They don't see it as a passage and testing ground.

December 19, 2023 Round Two Please, do you have just a moment in time to pray for Souls in Purgatory with me? According to tradition, St. Gertrude the Great, was told by Our Lord that each time she piously recited the following prayer, it would release 1,000 souls (or a vast number) from their suffering in purgatory: Eternal Father, I offer You the most precious blood of thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, for those in my own home, and in my family. Amen. In her account of another vision, St. Faustina describes Purgatory as a "great crowd of suffering souls" undergoing purification. Further, she says that the souls are "praying fervently, but to no avail, for themselves; only we can come to their aid" (Diary, 20)
