This new short version of Quiz the Diz is Called “The Diz Daily”. There are items I see or verses from the Bible I read on which I want to comment. On the verses, I hope to tie them into a daily event; on the news stories I read, I will make an effort to comment from the perspective of the Kingdom of God. My desire is that these are a couple of minutes long, and help you get through your day, or if you listen in the evening, let you take a look at the day’s events from a different perspective.

Every week, I post my episodes on the "Not the Bee" website. It's at notthebee.com and is a sister site to The Babylon Bee satire site. Last week, a person I respect, Glenna, had an insight about how we probably "should" agree, but the political left probably wouldn't. So, I thought I would take a stab at trying to look at these 10 ideas from a leftist perspective. I think you'll find it an interesting listen this week!

Nay and I will be married 40 years on the 20th of July, and we learned long ago to speak blessings over each other every day. In the podcast this week, these are the items I shared:
Blessings
- I am blessed with God's supernatural wisdom.
- I am blessed with an obedient heart and with a positive outlook on life.
- I declare that any curse that has ever been spoken over me, any negative evil word that has ever come against me, is broken right now, in the name of Jesus.
- I am blessed with a strong will and with self-control and self-discipline.
- I am blessed with success, with supernatural strength, with promotion, and divine protection.
- I am blessed with creativity, with courage, with ability and with abundance.
- I am blessed with a great marriage, a great family, with good friends, with good health, and with faith, favor, and fulfillment.
- I am blessed in the city. I am blessed in the country. I am blessed when I go in. I am blessed when I come out.
- I declare that everything I put my hands to do work out for my good and for God's glory.
- I declare that I am blessed!
Proverbs 22:29
Do you see a man who is skilled in his work? He will not stand before unknown men, but before Kings and Princes
Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his[a];
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations. (From Bible Gateway)

Values seem to be totally missing from our national conversation. Today on Quiz the Diz, I discuss the 10 Values series I have been doing and why they are vital. The values being taught to our young people are values of selfishness masquerading as care for others.

In several discussions lately, I have heard people talking about people paying their "Fair Share" of taxes or making their "Fair Share" of income. Who determines who gets to keep their wealth and who has to give it up?
Number 9 of the "Ten Values We Can Agree on For America" is "Wealth Belongs to Those That Generate It"
You may notice that I have changed, slightly, the title of this series. It came to me this week while listening to Glenn Beck that what I was talking about was "Values" not just "things"

If the US Government was spending this year what it spent in 2019, we'd have a budget surplus. Instead, we face a roughly 2 Trillion dollar deficit. One of the Ten Things We Can Agree On for America is, "Our Government Should Operate Within It's Means". We have to do these things as families and as businesses, but the government on a national level doesn't have to. If this doesn't end soon, our nation faces a financial collapse.

There are three keys to communication. In this podcast, Terry goes into these keys and helps show how listening, succinct writing or speaking and the ability to handle challenges and questions makes for great communication.
On a trip home from Philadelphia a few years ago, Terry had several hours to ponder a question God asked...and to realize that God already KNEW the answer. Here's why God does that and what He is teaching us through that process.
Terry and Nay celebrate 37 years of marriage today, 7/20/2022. Their first year was pretty unique and Terry shares that and when a miracle occurred that changed everything.
The difference between being rich and being poverty-stricken is not what you think. Terry explores yet another observation God made in this week's podcast.
When we ask, God will tell us what to do. In this week's podcast, I give insight into how this works and what He has shown me.
Scripture reference:
1 Corinthians 2:9-10
However, as it is written:
"What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived---the things God has prepared for those who love Him--
these are the things God has revealed to us by His spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
Over the last twenty years, I have experienced a substantial change in how I see my business, the world and myself. Today, we begin exploring what God has to say about us as people and what He's trying to do in our lives.
Pick. Up. Your. Trash! That’s all, just pick up your trash. Today, I want to put personal responsibility in light of God’s Kingdom.
The Cancel Culture sets us up for failure: in order for us to deny others the right to speak, we have to see ourselves as infallible. That's the quick discussion this week on Quiz the Diz
Over the last four months, Nay and I have had several times of particular difficulty. Hannah Gadlage (Her Anchor Podcast) asked a great question about what Bible verses we use to get through tough times. In this show I mention Nay's Testimony of how God healed her, and here is a link to that.
Verses:
Isaiah 43:23-3
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
Luke 6:38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Proverbs 21:21
Whoever pursues righteousness and love
finds life, prosperity[a] and honor.
Psalms 37:4
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

I always thought humility meant that I was to be humiliated. But according to a recent lesson from Kris Vallotton from Bethel Church, this is the idea: "God is opposed to the proud but he gives grace to the humble" - James 4:6
"To be humble does not mean to think less of yourself, it means to think of yourself less" - CS Lewis.
From the devotional: Here are 15 signs of true humility:
-
You are teachable.
-
You are influenceable.
-
You can be corrected without defending yourself.
-
You rejoice when others are celebrated.
-
No job is too small for you.
-
You don't have to be right.
-
You naturally seek the advice of others.
-
You actually do pray.
-
You freely admit your flaws, mistakes, and failures.
-
You live to help others succeed.
-
You aren’t entitled.
-
You are patient.
-
You don’t promote yourself.
-
You let other people have a better story than yours.
-
You honor other people when they are talking.
