The David Spoon Experience

A) Sergio calls in to ask David a question about "sports" in his growing up in Detroit youth. B) We resume at James Chapter 5:9, where we discover that a commandment from God in the Old Testament remains valid in the New Testament. This commandment is straightforward: Do not complain about one another. Indeed, many people make mistakes, and we are likely among them. However, the admonition is not to judge, as the true judge is stan...

1) As we approach the concluding sections of the Book of Acts, we find ourselves in Chapter 25, Verse 23. Here, Festus has orchestrated a grand ceremony for King Agrippa and Bernice. He has made it clear that he intends to send Paul to Caesar, despite having nothing substantial to write about him. In Festus's opinion, Paul has done nothing deserving of death, but he must send some information along with the prisoner. Otherwise, Fes...

A) The most profound issue with these scriptural passages is that these individuals are described as blemishes or hidden reefs in your love feasts. This means they are present in the church, and we are not even aware. They shepherd only themselves. They are unstable, like clouds without water, carried about by the wind. They are fruitless trees that grow and produce nothing, and they are twice dead, both emotionally and spiritually...

1) I often say this, but this message is a classic one that I thoroughly enjoyed both assembling and teaching. You may not realize this, but sometimes the process of crafting a message or a teaching can be more valuable for the teacher than the act of sharing it. This is primarily due to the deeper insights gained from the Lord that aid us in drawing closer to Him. This message is a prime example of such a process in my life. 2) We...

A) We continue with Psalm 51, verse 7, the second half of the verse where David proclaims, “Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” This is the crux. Whenever we believe we can purify ourselves, we operate in sheer folly. Only God can cleanse us thoroughly. Only the blood of Jesus can make us whole. Only the empowerment of the Holy Spirit can guide us to live in a way that honors the Lord daily. We require the Lord’s cleansing, ...

1) We delve back into the Book of Romans at Chapter 4, Verse 13. Over the next several chapters, there will be moments of sorrow and joy, but ultimately, joy will prevail. From a theological perspective, it's impossible to overlook what the Apostle is writing. He asserts that God's promises to Abraham are not contingent on obedience to the law. It's as clear as it can be: it's not about obedience. So, what is it about? 2) Verse 13 ...

A) Once again, the David Spoon experience takes an unexpected turn as David decides to pray for a brother who has been struggling to understand why life is so challenging, dealing with relationships, finances, health, and a myriad of other areas. After the prayer, something unique occurs: that very same brother calls in. B) The brother, named J, calls in and shares his heartfelt appreciation for the audience’s prayers and encou...

1) We begin with Genesis, chapter four, verse 11, where the Lord has just responded to Cain for shedding his brother's blood. It is vitally important for people to understand that God views the shedding of blood as a significant defilement of the planet. A baby has full blood circulation by day 19 post-conception. Shedding innocent blood is murder. 2) God informs Cain that his punishment is severe. He has shed blood on the earth, a...

A) 2 Timothy 3:2 builds upon the previous verse about the last times. Perilous times will come. After many years of awesome sauce, our country is in perilous times, more so now than at any time, excluding our civil war. Is this the end? It manifests that way. Is it the VERY end? We will know soon enough. But as we often say, it is closer now, than ever before. And in the end, there will be an increase in persecution. For a reality ...

1) Once again, the “David Spoon Experience” takes a dramatic turn. Today’s show focuses on three distinct components. First, David emphasizes the importance for believers to stay focused on their spiritual goals. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the distractions of politics, culture, Hollywood, academia, and other areas that often seem disconnected from God. The crucial aspect is not to lose sight of the faithfulness of the Almight...

A) Welcome to a unique show about "The David Spoon Experience." Today's show centers around David interviewing Cally Logan. To get more information about Cally Logan, you can go to www.CallyLogan.com. Cally is a phenomenal Christian sister who believes that God has created everybody to be an excellent fit as a part of the mosaic of the Kingdom of God. B) She's also very passionate about believers bein...

1) First, this is going to be a powerful message, and it will also be challenging. The principle essentially comes from Job chapter 33 verse 15: "He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds." These are often a form of teaching from the Lord. Of course, I'm not talking about the dreams that come from eating too many tacos. I'm talking about the dreams that, upon waking, we ...

A) God desires truth in the innermost being. This is significant because God examines a person’s heart, not their outward appearance. It’s crucial to realize that honesty with ourselves and with God is at the heart of redemption and restoration. If you seek restoration from the Lord, honesty is key. B) What’s remarkable is that David then links this honesty with divine communication. If we’re truthful in our innermost being, God wi...

1) Prepare for some mind-blowing insights. We delve back into Romans, Chapter 4, Verse 9, where Apostle Paul poses a question: Is the Lord's blessing only for the Jews, or is it also for the Gentiles? He answers this by referencing Abraham, who was declared righteous by his faith. Abraham was not yet "Jewish" in the traditional sense. It was his faith that justified him, with circumcision to follow. 2) Paul further defends his argu...

A) Peter tells them that Jesus does pay the temple tax, which is ironic because there's nowhere else where Jesus has indicated he does. So Peter's forwardness causes him to answer the question, which wouldn't even be accurate. His motive was probably good in the sense that he's defending Jesus, but it was still highly inaccurate. After saying what he said, he figured he better square it away with Jesus, so he talked to him about it...

1) The next portion, starting in Genesis chapter 4:8, teaches us a valuable series of lessons, one excellent and the other not so much. Verse eight begins with Cain suggesting to his brother Abel to go out into the field. It seemed innocent enough. "Let's go take a walk and check out the field. Who knows? Maybe we can see something cool," Cain said. But that was not Cain's true intention. What Cain was planning was to kill his brot...

1) As we delve into **2nd Timothy, chapter 3 verse 1**, we comprehend this truth: in the last days, perilous times will come. The term 'perilous' pertains to times of stress. It's fair to say that we are indeed in such times currently, and the stress seems to be escalating with each passing week. However, this should also indicate to us that the end is nearer and our redemption is drawing closer. Instead of fearing what is to come,...

1) It's Friday, and it's time for Dr. Dave's Devotional Diamonds of the Day. We begin with a classic. Many of us are familiar with the book, "Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten." While it may not be spiritually profound, it is practically wonderful. We're going to explore the origin of this book, which can be traced back to Isaiah, chapter one. It may seem simplistic, but that's exactly what we need. 2) The next De...

A) James 5:4 describes how people will behave in the last days, hoarding wealth for themselves, not sharing, and denying others their rightful share. This behavior, which is akin to saying, “I have what I need to survive, and everyone else can fend for themselves,” is not in line with the Spirit of God. B) One commandment that frustrates many people more than doing taxes is the command to be patient until the Lord’s coming. Despite...
