Today there are many claiming they know what to do for God but they are so easily turned by others, even deceiving themselves into thinking everything is alright. The truth is that they just await their punishment for delayed obedience. Join Maddison on Take It or Leave It to look deeper into how critical it is the we are obedient to the command of God so we can experience the fruit of what we have sown.

Today, when people are having a hard time, they get counsel that says, "Don't worry! God loves you and is just testing you." Why would God test us when His word is clear? The truth is that we are the one to test self. Join Maddison on Take It or Leave It to discuss what it is to be a sheep. When hardship enters your life, do not seek comfort in God's love, but instead seek to identify where you fell so you can be sure you are a sheep and join Jesus in the clouds through repentance!

S4, EP35: Delayed Obedience

Sunday Mar 02, 2025
Delayed obedience is when we know what God wants us to do but instead we take our time to fulfill His command because we prefer to do it at a time that is more comfortable for us. This is an intentional sin and those who practice this are prideful and accountable to God. Join Maddison on Take It or Leave It to be convinced that Jesus is seeking immediate obedience.

S4, EP34: Evidence
Sunday Mar 02, 2025
Sunday Mar 02, 2025
The book of Acts is a record of the acts of the disciples after they were indwelled by the Holy Spirit. If you claim to have the Holy Spirit today, you will also have 'acts' to show Jesus upon His return. It's not true that we can live however we want and all will still go to Heaven. Jesus is clear that He will look for evidence that follows after a person is indwelled by the Holy Spirit. Jesus is coming quickly to reward His sheep. Is that you? What proof do you have to show for it? Join Maddison on Take It or Leave It!

Sunday Mar 02, 2025
Did you repent already but still sin even when you know it is a sin? Then you need to repent for real. It's better to go back and repent a true repentance rather than be greeted by the true fate of the lake of fire. Join Maddison to be reminded of the what the word really says. Are you too assured in what others say of you and your salvation? Have you responded to Jesus' call to holiness? We can avoid the bitter life of King David if you remain firm in your devotion to Jesus and resist sin. Tune in on Take It or Leave It!

S4, EP30: My Sheep Hear My Voice
Thursday Feb 13, 2025
Thursday Feb 13, 2025
Let's be experts of John 10:27-28. Knowing if we are a true sheep or not can help us know what judgement event we align with- the judgement seat of Christ or the great white throne judgement. We allow the word to judge us and all will either be condemned to hell or rewarded for the kingdom work completed. In fact, it's better we judge ourselves now based on scripture rather than miss our chance for eternal life with Christ Jesus. If you do not follow all His commandments, then you are not a true sheep. Are you just assuming you will receive rewards? Learn more here!

Join me as we discuss the word of God, first hand experiences, and feel encouraged to take greater steps to build your relationship with Jesus Christ, the Savior of this dying world.
