The Daily Breadcast

Someone Who Wants to Help

Jesus told Satan: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."

We need to put on the whole armor of God so we can stand against the wiles of the devil.

That begins with a daily dose of nourishment that can only come from the Word of God!!!

Perspective - Walk with the Lord Series (No.9)
“And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Romans 3:3-5). Isn’t life largely about perspective? If we see people and painful situations as threats, those threats imprison our hearts. We can languish for days, even weeks longing for the problems or people to just go away. We often end up frantically trying to get out any way we can. #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #willard #chroniclesofwillard #walkwiththelord

Christian Character
What section of Scripture you find most meaningful in defining Christian character and why? It’s incredibly hard to choose just one. When I opened up my Bible to begin answering this question, I, without flipping any pages, opened up to 1 Peter 2:14 which the two pages covers through 5:10. No one person or text defines Christian character exhaustively, not even the accounts of Jesus in the gospels, but the collective of the New Testament scriptures is where we get the comprehensiveness that is Christian character. So, when I opened up to the first epistle of Peter, I took notice of the section beginning in chapter 2 verse 11 and 12 where it reads... #christiancharacter #dietoself #christmakesmewhole #fearGod #pride #selflove #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalLove #GodIsLove #FaithPodcast #ScriptureStudy #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTruth #LoveInAction #FaithAndLife #SpiritualGrowth #BibleVerses #ChristianTeaching

Jesus: Alpha & Omega - Victory (#2)
Jesus is introduced as Prince who came to the earth, Ruler, Redeemer who loosed us from our sins by His blood. Revealed by our God who is said to be the Alpha and Omega. This is to people who believe He is the Alpha. He began this process. He is God Who became flesh and came into this world. But the thing these people of God want to know is, will He be the Omega. The One who had been there at the beginning will He be there when it is all over? He was there when all this process of creation and redemption began, will He be there when it all ends? #victory #winning #won #victoryinjesus #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #walkwiththelord

Rejoice - A Very Ritchie Series (No.50)
Such an encouraging word, rejoice. The word sounds wrong if you don’t say it with a lilt in the tone of your voice. Rejoice! I believe the quintessential scripture on what it means to rejoice is found in Philippians 4:4-7 where Paul begins, “Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say Rejoice.” What follows is an instruction manual in the mindset of a rejoicing Saint. The predicate statement is that we should be constantly rejoicing. In our relationship with God. In our relationship with others. In the blessings God provides. #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #willard #chroniclesofwillard

Kindness & Encouragement - Walk with the Lord Series (No.8)
Kindness and encouragement go a long way in helping every kind of relationship. More importantly, love is kind and kindness is a fruit of the spirit (1Cor. 13:4; Gal. 5:22). The emphasis is that we can tell the character and heart in a person by how kind they are. We can tell the Holy Spirit is in them when we see the fruit of the spirit. #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #willard #chroniclesofwillard #walkwiththelord

One Day at a Time - A Very Ritchie Series (No.49)
Contentment is disturbed because our plans are broken. The family brings home a friend or additional family pops in for dinner. The vacation is busted when our flight is cancelled. You are deep in work, focused upon the task at hand and someone taps you on the shoulder and says, “by the way…” as you jump out of your skin from being startled. Life is moving according to plan, then your employer eliminates your position, you are unemployed. So many ways our contentment can be undermined, altered, ruined. How do we handle these intrusions? #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #willard #chroniclesofwillard

Over the months, Willard and Elise spent more time together, both inside and outside church. Sunday mornings became a rhythm of shared coffee, quiet reflection, and casual conversation. Weekdays found them collaborating on outreach projects, balancing the meticulous care of Willard’s work with Elise’s creative spark... #willard #will #willardp #willardpfranklin

Glory or Shame - Wise vs. Foolish (#4)
“The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools.” Proverbs 3:35 (NKJV) One of the great realities of life is that every person is moving toward a destination. We are all becoming something. Day by day, choice by choice, habit by habit, we are building a life that will eventually produce either honor or regret, glory or shame. That is the simple but powerful truth found in Proverbs 3:35: “The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools.” Solomon is not merely talking about what happens at the end of life. He is describing the natural outcomes that flow from the paths people choose. Wise living tends to produce honor, respect, trust, and blessing. Foolish living tends to produce embarrassment, regret, broken relationships, and loss. Every person wants glory, but many people make choices that lead toward shame. The challenge of this proverb is to honestly examine which path we are walking. #ai #wise #fool #wisdom #foolish #inchrist #speaklife #dietoself #vanity #fearGod #pride #selflove #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalLove #GodIsLove #FaithPodcast #ScriptureStudy #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTruth #LoveInAction #FaithAndLife #SpiritualGrowth #BibleVerses #ChristianTeaching

Clear Vision - A Very Ritchie Series (No.48)
The wind was howling, really howling. The snow was falling so fast that when I turned back to look where I had been, there were no tracks. I had been skiing most of the morning doing well, but as the day progressed, the conditions deteriorated. This was a full-on blizzard! I had not planned well. I only brought a pair of sunglasses, no goggles. My glasses froze over and became useless as the temperatures dropped. I thought to myself, “how am I going to find the way down, I can’t see a thing.” Through squinting eyes and the stinging snow, I ran into Matt, just about literally ran over him. One of his boots had broken and he was moving down the mountain with great difficulty, trying to hold one ski in one hand, poles in the other skiing on one leg. Thankfully he let me team up with him. I carried his stuff and he looked ahead to see the way. The blizzard was so fierce he could only see 10-15 feet. So, we would ski that far, stop, look and move ahead that distance. It took a while, but we finally made it down. Funny, we didn’t see anyone else on the mountain! Funny nothing. Everyone else was smart! #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #willard #chroniclesofwillard

Purpose - Walk with the Lord Series (No.7)
Life has to be more than just work; surely we have a greater purpose in life. It has been said, “We play at our work and work at our play.” But surely life is more than work and play. Flawed is the thinking that our greater purpose is to solve the world’s problems, eliminate terrorism, or feed and clothe all the hungry. Noble though they may be, there is a greater purpose. It can be found right under our noses, and that purpose will provide fuel for a meaningful life. “Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things ahead. I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:12-14). #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #willard #chroniclesofwillard #walkwiththelord

Wisdom is from God - Wise vs. Foolish (#3)
“My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path. When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you, To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things, From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness; Who rejoice in doing evil, And delight in the perversity of the wicked; Whose ways are crooked, And who are devious in their paths; To deliver you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words, Who forsakes the companion of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God. For her house leads down to death, And her paths to the dead; None who go to her return, Nor do they regain the paths of life— So you may walk in the way of goodness, And keep to the paths of righteousness. For the upright will dwell in the land, And the blameless will remain in it; But the wicked will be cut off from the earth, And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ #wise #fool #wisdom #foolish #inchrist #speaklife #dietoself #vanity #fearGod #pride #selflove #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalLove #GodIsLove #FaithPodcast #ScriptureStudy #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTruth #LoveInAction #FaithAndLife #SpiritualGrowth #BibleVerses #ChristianTeaching

Book, Chapter and Verse - A Very Ritchie Series (No.47)
How many times have you heard that line? For those who are older, likely you heard it a lot. Many times, that was used as an expression of derision saying, “you don’t think for yourself, you just quote scripture.” What’s wrong with that? When I was a child, we had memory verses weekly. We were quizzed on those verses, and it could have been one we learned 5 weeks ago. We recited the books of the Bible. Sometimes we were asked to recite starting from Isaiah or 2 Corinthians. Sometimes we were asked, “the book before…” I thought they were inventing methods of mental torture. But it was a method of emphasis upon knowing God’s word. #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #willard #chroniclesofwillard

Take a Walk - A Very Ritchie Series (No.46)
A mother’s son became very angry and exchanged harsh words. The mother told her son, “go take a walk.” The son complied in disgust. He stomped out of the room then out of the house and began to walk the neighborhood. As he walked, he mumbled to himself complaining about how his mother was unfair. At times he would stomp grumbling as he rehearsed the event. He eventually returned home where his mother was waiting. As he walked up to her, she could see the expression on his face was one of anger. As she asked how he was feeling, he began to vent that anger towards her. She raised her arm pointing to the sidewalk and said again, “go take a walk.” He stomped away. As he took that second walk, his thoughts began to change. He rehearsed his mother’s words instead of his own. The realization of his disrespect and belligerence became apparent. The further he walked the more labored his footsteps became; finally returning home. As he opened the door his drooped shoulders and bowed head told his mother the condition of his heart. #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #willard #chroniclesofwillard

Character - Walk with the Lord Series (No.6)
How often do we focus on talent, education, intelligence, or athleticism? In our world it’s the smart, beautiful, witty, and athletic ones we consider successes. If, on the other hand, you’re fat, ugly, dumb, and clumsy you are nobody. Judging people from the outward has always been around. Nebuchadnezzar did it with Daniel. He thought that because Daniel was good looking he was also be smart. When Samuel went into the house of Jesse, he saw all of David’s brothers. They all looked like kings, but God did not look out the outside: he looks at the heart (1 Sam. 16:7). #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #willard #chroniclesofwillard #walkwiththelord

Above My Pay Grade - Wise vs Foolish (#1)
“This wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and it seemed great to me: There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it. Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man. Then I said: “Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, And his words are not heard. Words of the wise, spoken quietly, should be heard Rather than the shout of a ruler of fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war; But one sinner destroys much good.”” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭9‬:‭13‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ #wise #fool #wisdom #foolish #inchrist #speaklife #dietoself #vanity #fearGod #pride #selflove #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalLove #GodIsLove #FaithPodcast #ScriptureStudy #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTruth #LoveInAction #FaithAndLife #SpiritualGrowth #BibleVerses #ChristianTeaching

I Can Do All Things - A Very Ritchie Series (No.45)
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” Our beliefs are challenged. Our honesty as Christians is tested in the face of trouble if we remain honest. We are overwhelmed with work by employment or at home. This is when we recite this passage to revive strength, which is good. But the context of this powerful statement is to be content within our spirit. The strength of Christ is to withstand duress, not overpower it. Paul further describes this strength in Ephesians 3:16-19 and 1 Corinthians 10:13. It is for enduring faith, improved knowledge and understanding, and deeper love; i.e., the fullness of God. #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #willard #chroniclesofwillard
