Word for Life Today: Recent Episodes
Timothy Hoflund
Word for Life Today is for serious saints of God - - those who are intent upon living in the reality of being God's sons and daughters while we journey through this very secular world! We’re not trying to appeal or appease social expectations, neither do we necessarily reject all of them. Our focus is on being spiritually correct with God by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Word for Life Today deals with current secular concerns as they affect our lives … addressing these with a spiritual mindset which is in contrast with a social, secular mindset! Our approach on any concern, issue or topic is with a Biblical Christian Worldview ... not from a "religious Christian" mindset. Our overall focus is on discipleship, more specifically living as God's sons and daughters in everyday real life, that is, to be spiritually minded living in this secular world, not carnally minded trying to understand what is spiritual! We share Biblical Christian messages intended to edify and encourage and help God's people to grow in strength, wisdom and understanding as disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ ... not in isolation but in the reality of living real life in this world system which opposes God and God’s people.

A powerful worship song, inspiring greater devotion to our Heavenly Father in Christ Jesus our Lord! Song by Brother Jerry Williams of Houston Texas, presented by permission.
The real question is: Whose control is your life under? If not God's control, then it is either under your own control or the devil's - there are no other choices. And if life is not under God's control, then it is because you don't trust God with the results and outcomes of what happens in life! We as God's people need to come to the point where we do trust God with the results and what's more, we need the peace which passes all understanding from doing so!

What's the problem or the issues that result from compromise? We are taught that in today's world and society, we must learn to compromise if we want to have good relationships, enjoy good social standing and receive the best of what life has to offer ... but not so fast Bucko! The truth is something much different than what the world insists upon and compromise is not only very dangerous but can be extremely costly to the Christian or church that chooses to surrender to the pressure to compromise! In fact, we may need to recapture what has been surrendered by the choices to compromise and the Lord will help us if we will face the poor choice to agree to compromise with this present world!
We need to think this through if we are going to be effective witnesses for Christ to those in our world ... or an effective encouragement to our faith family!

It is apparent that there is a type of war being waged right now against the people of America ... but what type of war is it? Is it social ... political ... cultural ... yes, all of the above and more! Actually, all of these fronts are part of the same war, it is spiritual war materialized in the visible realm of humanity!

Why would God do that? Just so we can resume the things that brought us to this point in the first place?

Written by Dr. Timothy as he was reflecting back on his first Christmas as a Christian and the impact of the birth of Christ had on him! He remembered 45 years ago how Christmas had meaning and significance he had never known before and how we so very much desire that our loved ones and friends come to know Christ in salvation and to live as God's born again sons and daughters.
It is important to celebrate Christmas, but why? Why do we celebrate the birth of Christ ... should we not celebrate the reason for His birth? I believe this message will bring us to focus on just that, the reason for His birth and realizing what that is makes the celebration of His birth so much more powerful! May God bless you richly this Christmas holiday!
Over half of American adults have this problem with Jesus! What once was commonly accepted about Jesus is now rejected by over 1/3 of ... CHRISTIANS! And it is not that they do not believe that Jesus was born - even born of a virgin! Its not that Jesus lived at all ... or that Jesus died on a cross. The problem is not even with Jesus being raised from the dead! It is something that is so foudational to Jesus Christ being Lord ... and yet, many who don't believe this one thing about Jesus don't even realize that it is, or why it is that this means people who otherwise believe in Jesus will not be going to heaven when they die! Spend just a few minutes to learn for yourself, about yourself ... Do You Have This Problem With Jesus? It may mean the difference in where you spend eternity and why!

Are you holy? Is it even possible for us, God's people, to be holy as God is holy? And is it true that without holiness a person will not see the Lord? If you are struggling with "Being Holy" this podcast may bring you into a real break through in your life in Christ!
Why does God test us - or allow us to be tested anyway? Do we need to prove to God beyond any shadow of a doubt that we really do trust and have faith in Him? Does God test us because God needs to know how well we’re doing in the faith or trust categories? This episode reveals the true benefits of being spiritually and/or morally tested ... and the opportunities testing gives us to become ever stronger!

Have you thought of yourself as a gift to the Church? A gift chosen by Jesus Himself to give to His Church? Let's move outside of the religious box and see ourselves as the Lord sees us! Far more importantly, we need to give ourselves to Christ as a gift that He can then make into something HE can give to His Church for service!
Having challenges loving others? Having challenges loving God? Well, you can't truly love others until you truly love God and you can't truly love God until you discover what love actually is! Here's a hint: Its not how others make you feel about them! How's Your Love Life will profoundly change your life ... unless you already know what love truly is! Thanks for listening, please follow and share Word For Life Today with others!
God is too big to fit into a box of church religion's making! In fact, God is so big that the universe cannot contain Him, which may be why the universe is still expanding! When you see how BIG God truly is, you'll never again ask the question, "Is God big enough to ..."
God's Word matters - because the words God uses matter! Words matter to God and the words He uses in His Word better matter to us! While it has been done for ages, we really are not authorized to replace the words that God uses in His Word with other words of our own choosing! We are not authorized to give new and different meanings to the words God uses in His Word ... but we do these things anyway and when we do ... sin always happens as a result!
Giving thanks for ALL things is not a common activity, even among church people! But this Thanksgiving perhaps we need to pause and think about what giving God thanks for ALL things really means. What it means to do, and what it means to us when we do! Definitely not a traditional Thanksgiving Holiday type of message ... but one that we may need to hear and really consider IF we truly desire to receive God's blessings more fully!
Today the Lord is speaking through His prophets, but unlike in other ages, most of the Lord's prophets today are unknown and ministering at a grass roots level to The Church! This message acknowledges and encourages those who are ... Unknown Prophets in the land!
Are you praying in the name of Jesus? Really? Then is God giving you whatever you are asking for in the name of Christ? If not, then maybe you are NOT praying in the name of Christ Jesus! In just over 5 minutes your prayers can be transformed from making religious wishes - to - praying in the power of confidence in faith!
Local churches and individual Christians have "lost" our true identity. It was lost to the false narrative of secular culture which has been shaping churches, and our individual Christianity, often without the members or leaders realizing what has been taking place. Is your church shaped by the culture or by Christ? Has your Christianity been defined and shaped by the world's culture? Take an honest look.
Do you know what it means to be "looking up"? Many today ridicule the idea that we who are God's people should be looking up ... and don't even know what that means!
Has God begun bringing about a great political reversal in America? Or, is God up to something else? This episode takes a look at the possibilities of what we are experiencing in America today in the social, political and moral arenas of our nation.
This message helps you to recognize false prophets which Jesus warns us about. One warning sign of a false prophet is that he gives messages that appeal to your desires, that stir up emotional excitement and give hope that God will do what you want Him to do!
Subversion is a main strategy in the devil's warfare against The Church of Jesus Christ! In this episode we expose some of the tactics and how some who are called "faith leaders" are actually subverting Scriptures to lead God's people into submission to the culture of compliance being fomented against humanity!
10-4 in radio lingo means, "I got it!" Today's episode is based on 2 Corinthians 10:4 explaining the weapons of our warfare, what we are up against and that God's spiritual weapons in our lives will most definitely produce the courage we need to face the enemies of fear, intimidation and false leadership!
The Remedy for Being Disillusioned is the Biblical answer to a Christian dilemma! Being disillusioned is not a bad thing when we look at it from the perspective of Truth, for Jesus tells us that if we continue in His Word we will know the truth and the truth will make us free! Being disillusioned is the first step in being made free from the power of deception in your life!
Jesus warned us about it. We are now living in it - more now than ever before! Those who confess that Jesus IS the Christ, and then go about to deceive many! Who are some of these Spiritual Subversives?
This episode gives you a quick but insightful and powerful glance of the answer.
If you're one of God's people by faith in Christ Jesus the Lord ... then you can defeat the tyranny of fear being used against us to comply with an evil world agenda!
We're now living in a society of fear designed to produce a culture of compliance with evil agendas ... ultimately preparing humanity for the satanic one-world system of the antichrist.
God's people are dealing with fear on unparalleled levels in this spiritual war and because God does not want His people to live subjugated to fear - He gives us the remedy against fear and how to break fear's control over our lives!
Join Dr. Timothy as he looks into God's Word for Life to discover how to live in courage and not in fear.
If you have been taught that the main reality for Christians is to be God's servants ... well, would you consider discovering what Scripture has to say about that? This podcast may require more than one sitting - but it may be the most liberating and life changing message (after the messages that led you to have faith in Christ) you'll ever listen to as a Christian!
When Jesus said, "as it was in the days of Noah..." He wasn't speaking rhetorically, allegorically, or metaphorically!
He was speaking in terms of reality ... that the condition of humanity truly would be as it was in the days of Noah! Down to the last detail - even giants in the earth as in the days of Noah!
This podcast is a real eye-opener and perhaps 28 minutes that will convince skeptics in the churches just how close we truly are to the "days of the Son of Man"!
Today in the church community there are many voices giving many messages to church people ... some of these are prophets indeed! The question is, are they The Lord's prophets of truth or are they the devils prophets of falsehood?
Even those with uplifting, encouraging and exciting messages that sound like they are full of promise may be, and quite likely are, prophets of falsehood!
This episode shares a current example and how to compare these men with what Scripture tells us to recognize the difference!
Spiritual deception comes down to this ... whom will you believe?
This podcast deals with a current deception that is gaining momentum in the church community ... what it is and why it is hazardous and the choice we must make to stay faithful or become deceived!
This message is one of ultimate triumph for God's people who are, or will become prepared for the "Pressures and Persecution" which will become our new normal in America which continues to be in lock-step with other nations determined to have a one-world system of government and economics - the government of THE antichrist.
Preparing for this, the world cannot tolerate God's people bearing righteous influence on secular humanity and will soon be executing their plans to silence our voices and prevent our actions.
Although it is now precious little - God's people yet have time to prepare ourselves to stand immovable against the kingdom of darkness bringing pressures and persecutions which are now in high-gear development.
Discouragement among God's people is not only spiritually distressing, it is but a step in the devil's plan of destruction for any of God's people!
Discouragement can be conquered if we will be honest with our beliefs and admit if we have been deceived with illusions, which when reality and illusions do not match, we become disillusioned - - and we can use disillusion as a springboard into a life of Truth which not only conquers discouragement but keeps us free from further episodes!
Warning - this episode may cause many to become angry, but please don't shoot the messenger! Also, this is ONLY for those who claim to be Christians!
Why have churches in America have become "non-essential" as iwas well demonstrated in the 2020 pandemic?
No disputing about church people becoming increasingly comfortable with sins, so much so that SIN is comfortable in many churches today! Why have the community of churches and their people become so spiritually impotent?
By church people committing the greatest sin that God's people can commit ...
"A CALL TO FAITH - LIVE FREE FROM FEAR" - - featuring a conversation with Christian Life Coach, Rev. John Redd of Texas. This episode will help you grow immune from today's cultural environment of fear! The coronavirus/covid-19 outbreak has given opportunity to those who reject God to impose ... even inflict, fear on society and on the basis of that fear gaining controlling the masses of people - - with perhaps God's people being targeted more than any other group! However, God's people have something the world does not have, a connection to God as our Father by faith in Christ Jesus as Lord! We pray you hear God's call to faith and live free from fear!
The final message regarding Jesus telling us to be ready for His appearing.In this final episode, we address the question, just how do we do that? Our look into what Jesus tells us through Scripture will help God's sons and daughters to understand what it means and how to prepare for the Lord's imminent return!
Jesus tells us to be ready for His appearing ... and just how do we do that? This look into what He tells us through Scripture will help God's sons and daughters to understand what it means and how to prepare for the Lord's imminent return!
Whether we are ready or not, the Lord will soon be returning for His Church! Are you ready?
Are you ready for the Lord's appearing? It doesn't matter if YOU are ready, HE is coming ... in Scripture we can almost hear Him say, "Ready or Not, Here I Come!"
