Your host Robbie Gilmore well I am just fine and that God has allowed me to broadcast now again in 2021.

How fun is that. And not only that, but I get a chance to share with you something God is provided to the Truth Network for 2021. That really one of the most exciting things I've been involved with a while and we have pastor Duane Carson with this.

He is just started a feature that is gonna be running on the whole Truth Network excuse me, it's gonna be. It's can be running on WTR you in the is not to be on CRU and TRU, but it is gonna be on the TR units called date the word, and he is the head of school at Salem Baptist Christian school and again his new radio feature is date the word so welcome pastor. Hey, I'm so glad to be your happy new year to all you listeners and the I'm hoping that as we go through today we're gonna get a great burden date the word is really really cool.

It started yesterday with James online and so you can find out what dating the word means that the that was the first right this book of James, and it was also the first chapter. So, yesterday was the first day of 20, 21 in the first chapter. So I get to do that. A lot of that coming up today and second up. I have Diane Mo Shara that I say that right. All right, so, and she this is like a poster child for kingdom pursuits in the name of the show. As you may know, Diane is how does God take your passion and use it to build the kingdom here's the ladies got a passion for horses. So if you passion for horses. You love the show but she wrote it took just come out is called the horses of second wind farm their lives.

Our lesson so I understand you kind of see God for your horses. Diane love and got you for you know he rides one so I am pretty sure he's a horseman I'm just saying that he and I don't have that I was to sit and think a man he I know somebody else loves horses to get to that. But you know it's Rob, you know, it may be 20, 21, but I still have.

I joke/widow so I hope you are ready for this.

So are you ready so speaking of the week after Christmas. There's a list out of the top five new toys that were sold for Christmas 20 2025 new toys and came out for 20 a bit better just been huge. The top 1 PM and seen everything. I normally love Leslie okay and on this list.

Actually I got admit one is completely original, made up by me and think she can know by how much I laugh and say go number one on the list that is actually number five on the list okay so it's first on the save as number five. The Play-Doh mask made make your own master. Plato is not a bad idea. Quarantined Barbie dream house and have a I love this one to socially distance twister. I get that done the same, socially distant twister.

Can I vote now Junior vaccinate or and of course it does come down to number one at some point so from what I understand.

I think you had to get there like four in the morning and wait in a six-hour line at Walmart to get this bad boy is called tickle my brain almost comes a little slick cotton swabs against number one is, you guessed it is way funnier than if you had a covert test little lady comes out to them and tickle your brain.

I thought tickle my brain almost soundly to get to the actual day.

We have so pastor Carson's verse for today is a first for yesterday's first year was James 117.

From your perspective. There are no wrong answers ever in the history of five. From your perspective was James who was James this James the James that wrote James. James it wrote the book of James so you call us and we got something for you. 866-34-TRUTH 87884 tickle my brain a month ago I had to throw in anything I devotion gravel. So thank you call us with an answer to is James. I'm really curious on what you think. I really, really handsome, like hearing or even if you don't like to give for five things will 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH so pastor what is the verse for today will like yesterday.

I have 66 different options are 12 goes all the way through the Bible and I went with third John 12 today because as we go into this new year. It is a a wish. If you will a best wishes for someone as John says I pray friends. I pray that you would prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers, and I chose that verse were in a pandemic, and we need to be praying for people to be healthy, but the idea of prospering. It has the idea of one being on a journey that goes really well and here we are on a journey. That's what life is and so John says I will began my letter. This third letter with.

I'm praying for you my friends that you're going to have a fruitful journey and that you'll be in good health and I saw one commentary said it really speaks of like one of having a really good career really good career and is you think about the earthly career Johnson. I want your oath of career to be like your heavenly career. It's going to be incredible as your soul prospers. So I would with third John one to today I sent so wonderful, so I'm very curious, Diane, how did you get the idea for this book, Ernst was there.

Is this a God story. All the sudden you just felt like this is where it was gone and you tell us about that call God story I can't bring back a year and 1/2 ago and the conquering after daddy writing up the and now I had my daughter had book written short story and probably now I thought that after blacking our time well blacking back to me about that later died started downloading what he wanted written and in the story and out on different provide true and right might get complicated by complicated things are often very simple brown mouse so can you give us a somewhat somewhere/no horse around today was so sorry to break these. He came right in their diameter is just shot off on this whole idea. I know you're out there thinking is James exactly well your answer 866-34-TRUTH 87884 more coming up in verse 411 is James 11 James lights as he introduced himself James a God and of the Lord Jesus Christ to the 12 tribes which are broad reading introduction of oneself, James. Instead of saying I am the Lord's half brother. He opens up with. I am a bond servant this year have you describe yourself. A bondservant is one who says I have surrendered all to God I challenge you on this new year 11 say the Lord your MRI your bondservant have working the kingdom pursuits today.

How does God take your passion and uses it to build the kingdom and just hurt.

I pastor Duane Carson is the head of school at Salem Baptist, but his new feature on the truth network, especially WTR you is date the word and how fun is that so placid if you listen closely, there were some hints in the answer for the riddle today which you can call and when we have plenty of stuff only 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH I'd love to have a discussion with Jan you know you think James was really I think that's cool, the guy who wrote the book of James, and we also have with us Diane Faucher and she's the author of the horses of the second win farm.

Their lives are lessons and when we left our hero dissent. Diane unfortunately we cut her off in midstride so again I'm up I'm really, really, really, I really am curious so if if I'm understanding what you're saying. Plus I read the stuff that bit about your book that you've taken these different horses. Like I can't relate so much to the horses but I can relate to dogs I've had in my life right but all had unique personalities and so you've taken these horses and how they dealt with certain things in their life, and you saw God and that somehow when you've interpreted that through the Bible or through your face amount story love for you and all I actually wanted at performing highly trained. For now I kind of wanted kind of ballot while I wait with timeline antimatter approached me for writing. Her daughter, I writing I think at that point in my life that I think part of what I thought you know what the plan, but I need you. However, I heard myself say yes I'll give your daughter January cold and were not completing right now down on a day that her daughter we can out I and Carly writing are formed by way it occurred to me that I don't have any began writing her little daughter Grace on and I'm standing there in the barn going again it.you know what you need for a writing, and I heard that all little boy and I will you know you think in your mind that won't work because I had been part highly trained and not for a beginner. Now that knowledgeable like poking out of the doll and got him ready for plan little great locked in the barn about 50 pounds tiny little girl ;-) or Dr. I am going to take and I wallowed twice and went down the cockpit little hand and let a court definitely made God daily and immediately small town lab for little girl gambling patient (learning provide and very well very patient kink around all the time and I think a lot of it back in when Larry went road bike and game on usual down like the thing I learned in that we have in online black art job letter letter perfect and like I've been kind very very different. And I believe now when I let God plan are always not acting that always better though. I think the moral of this story is deftly listening to that mall bellboy as God has great and wonderful plan for you while I just love that. I just love that love is to be completely transparent. You know I have a collar on my last show that I really did not mean I my dear friends, actually, and I was trying to forgot how to get everything I could get done done in the segment that I had and I was running out of time and I failed to pray. Is it just felt like I handled it poorly, but I just sit there thinking about you.

You were put in this position that you didn't know exactly what to do and so you did the right thing which was to practice beautiful, just beautiful and I thought while I had a golden opportunity God to find out how to handle this because really did know how to an NL because obviously all my collars are very dear to me and I would love for some recalling and talk about James which is 866-34-TRUTH 87884, including Clay, if you would like to go back so thank you that's this just best to so practical and so wonderful Dr. Carson that that's part of what I love about what you are not his pastor. I sometimes listen to my boss lasted a lot of people. Dr. anyway. Pastor Carson has practical like one of the things I'm really really excited about this coming year. Is everyone of these things. I helped record with things like man I need to be thinking about that every day I really really need to be thinking about that and so it was really cold. Incorporate this into our life is good chance to hear these on the radio but you know every one of them is like man just God.

I just ordered because you your praying, as you put them together. Hops absolutely want you know God's word is going to feed her soul. It's also it's it's teaching us how to live and if we went with Psalms 1 today we will talk about how were supposed be meditating on the word day and night, and to meditate is to be showing on the word so that it becomes part of your life in an and it doesn't stop with just thinking on it but it's think it will help to know put it into action. So what I try to do a date word is give you the verse within one thought of how you put that verse into action and then you're able to memorize the verse. Think of the date and now the verse that goes with that date that now how do I put this into action, God never gave us his word just to be for information he gave for application brings about transformation. So I'm just thinking you know because you been doing this for how long 20 years.

Okay so you know and I know a lot of functions memorize lot Scripture but in your own life. I mean what this must have done this because every day. You've got this going on and let me know it's gotta be almost every time you see some happen I owe James 360 know I just imagine what the fruit that that's available and I will reason I have been excited about this is how it had changed my own life and I did get saved until I was in my early 20s and I had to have my mind renewed and that when the best things ever happen was right off the bat. A disciple said okay, you've got to get Psalms 119 love in your life because of verse nine, Psalms 119. Nine. How show young man cleanse his way by taking heed.

According to work in verse 11. Your word I had in my heart that I may not sin against you, and so immediately I'm being challenged, not just reading God's word, memorize it from memorizing. Now comes the meditation will lead to the application and the transformation and bill Crawford was my dislike floor instead.

You gotta memorize Scripture.

And so I look at the numbers let's see Leica in the morning you wake up 633 wake up 630 3C6 33 first thing I think of is Matthew 633. Today is another day to seek first the kingdom of God as test is beautiful and it happened it to think of the movie with the guy that was everything was that no a passage in Genesis. The city had to go get gopher wood Evan Almighty at 633 or so when you say that I was like was not the passage that it was Genesis 633 they had to go get gopher wood and then there was a sign of this gopher for wood truck with anyway and I with my sense of humor. You can imagine that cracked me up. But yeah, I mean an and you know interestingly I came to Christlike plate like in my late well it pretty late 30s was 19 and one and almost immediately, God brought Ted Burton in my life. Your Christian business men's committee and he would make. Give me a list of Scripture to memorize. Not like you have all my goodness what a difference that makes your life to have those verses available and the prayers takes more sense to get this idea is I love you Diane. I mean we got Amy, coming up after the break and COLLARS about James so much more, God's word with you and today's date is the second verse day one, and today we have one on one to John Wright dear friend. I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. Job 12. What are your desires for your friends summarizing may be old in the coming year rate prayer from third job one to read. I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. Yes, his kingdom pursuits 2021. How fun we are to continue the adventure and we've got some poster children for people giving God's given them a passion. Dr. excuse me pastor American ripening and pastor Duane Carson who has date the word you just got a chance to hear that his passion for the word of God and in finding ways to medical memorize and actually apply it to everyday life and then also we have Diane Mosher who is the author of the horses of the second when farm their lives are lessons and if you heard her last thing on my goodness, I mean just absolutely all sorts of our sense that we are transported her to the receipt so very fun. We have Amy, most of the cures on with this Amy you got a big show coming up today.

Good versus evil. In 2021 so tell us about it all. God can bring clock out. I wish I can count to now to God and not ask beautiful and Amy show amazing husband for us and I loved last week when he said well maybe that's when I wasn't so amazing.

Line comes on at 1 o'clock today, and it is live so you can call in an and I love the cost that you guys get Amy so it's 1 o'clock on the Eastern on the Truth Network. Thank you Scott and Amy okay. Have a great show glass and happy new year. So there you go. Okay, so if you're like me you want another horror story, so we got guy this Diane is the author again of the horses of second wind farm their lives and are lessons but before we get to the story. I got to know the second when farm I'm guessing that name has some significance and we just lost her again.

Diane's but I imagine it's got some significance but why wait when we move on with Pastor Carson. What you get stuck in your mind. It's like your brain is a terrible thing to waste. But again, it this is the whole feature that you can be here and now the trick network is is big time connected to what you guys are doing is head of school right saying yes sir. We want students memorizing Scripture all the time. Again he changes our lives and if you don't get the word in the world is good to be getting you back to Romans chapter 12 verse two where were not to be conformed to this world but transformed by the renewing of the mind, will, if you don't get the wording in that world just come pre-Friday and also in your thinking and doing the worldly things with you want to do what God wants. What God's word in your life.

And I also like to use this robbery as a way of telling people their birthday verse and other Lutheran listeners out there that want to call in and find out what their birthday verse yes but each day I send out through my Facebook if there's their birthday. I'll send them a verse for this date, the date of their birth and even have former students tell Facebook they have a job or not telling. This is the birth date that the birthday but the birthdate verse for their child.

Just another way, how do we get God's word to be more memorable. Just the tools it's absolutely fall so Diana hopefully your witness, Diane, can you hear me all wonder she is so good to have you back so the to title your book.

The horses of second wind farm. I'm very curious about second wind farm where that come from an expression that all of our life after year completely and worn out.

We just have to relax and let God by in God's timing. Well timing was right, and 45 I downloaded off the trailer and when I first and dairy, lanky tax people who have been through trauma in their life they very guarded and plant bank back to their incarnate now and we don't.

Navigating the personal relationship requires a good nap and a good navigator for 45 I hope to be a good navigator showing him that people can be tracked and will be extended.
