Is Busenbaum in the Church?
Does the end justify the means when it comes to serving God? In today’s Biblical Alert, we examine a philosophy that has found its way into modern Christianity: the idea that compromise is acceptable if it produces the desired results. From modern Bible versions and contemporary worship to worldly methods and changing standards, churches are increasingly tempted to adapt to the culture rather than be transformed by the Word of God.
Drawing from his own salvation as a teenager and the dramatic change that followed, Brother Williamson traces the battle over God’s Word back...
What do you know?
In our work with the Cherokee, we have studies and learned much regarding God the Creator. There is much evidence of Divine design. Man's grasp of right and wrong and this knowledge has a Divine origin. In His creation, God did much separating. The Ecclesia has been called out. If you are saved, born-again, you have been separated from the world, the flesh, and the Devil. Adam was placed in the Garden to Dress it and Keep it. Man took of the tree, disobeyed God and died. Jesus himself, in the Garden did battle with the Devil and gave...
Dress it Keep it
Where was the Garden of Eden? Through the centuries, people have speculated about its location, but Scripture does not give us every answer. Instead of being consumed with what God has not revealed, we should pay careful attention to what He has revealed.
In this episode of Today’s Biblical Alert, we return to Genesis and God's instructions to Adam in the Garden. Adam was placed in Eden “to dress it and to keep it.” His assignment involved work, stewardship, obedience, and watchfulness. God provided abundantly for Adam, but God also established a clear command and bo...
Garden Keeper
Sometimes we can see the train wreck coming, yet refuse to recognize the danger until the damage is done. Families are broken, lives are devastated, churches are weakened, and a nation can lose its way when warning signs are ignored.
In this challenging message, we return to the opening chapters of Genesis, where Satan subtly entered the Garden and Eve listened, lingered, desired, and finally took. God had placed Adam in the Garden not only to dress it, but to keep it, to guard what God had entrusted to him.

He's Coming I'm Going
Be Patient: Give Me This Mountain
In a world filled with confusion, discouragement, and constant distractions, believers are called to remain steadfast. Drawing from James 5 and the story of Caleb in Joshua 14, this message challenges Christians to strengthen their hearts, persevere through disappointment, and keep trusting God.
At 85 years old, Caleb could still boldly declare, “Give me this mountain.” Forty years of waiting, the failures of others, and even giants in the land could not destroy his faith. His example reminds us not to become bitter, defeated, or discouraged.

Tattoo my eye
Everybody seems to be getting “tatted up,” but what about Christians? In today’s Biblical Alert, an ordinary trip to the eye doctor raises a much bigger question about tattoos, piercings, and the Christian’s body.
What do Leviticus 19:28 and 1 Corinthians teach about bodily markings and the temple of the Holy Ghost? Open your Bible and consider whether modern culture or Scripture is influencing your choices.

My Eye Appointment
We remember birthdays, anniversaries, appointments, and all kinds of special days, or at least we try! But are we remembering the things that matter most? A recent trip to the eye doctor provided an unexpected opportunity to hand out copies of John and Romans and talk about America’s upcoming 250th anniversary. It also brought to mind the message of Jude 17–21: remember, build up your faith, pray, and keep yourself in the love of God.
Join us for a simple but important reminder: wherever the day takes you, look for opportunities to serve the Gospel.
Ask for Counsel
Prayer Is Our Powerful Weapon: Seeking God’s Counsel in Troubled Times
In today’s Biblical Alert, we turn our hearts toward Venezuela, where devastating earthquakes have brought tremendous loss and suffering, while the nation continues to face economic and governmental challenges. Reports after the June 2026 earthquakes documented over 6,000 deaths and tens of thousands reported missing or unaccounted for.
We also remember our brothers and sisters in Ukraine and the Middle East. In uncertain times, prayer remains a powerful spiritual weapon. We take up the shield of faith and the helmet of salvation, pray...
The Straight and Narrow
What truths are we passing on to the next generation? In this episode, we challenge parents, pastors, Sunday school teachers, and church leaders to remind young people of the sacrifice, faith, and commitment that have shaped generations before them.
Against the backdrop of a complicated world, from America and Israel to Iran, Russia, China, and beyond, this message points listeners back to the unchanging truth of the Gospel. Drawing from Matthew 7:13–14 and the biblical teaching of the “strait gate” and narrow way, we examine why Christians must faithfully teach that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth...
We the People Tattoo
We the People Tattoo | Today’s Biblical Alert
A simple Constitution Day visit turned into an unexpected opportunity to witness. When a customer noticed my We the People cap, he proudly showed me an impressive We the People tattoo covering his forearm. That opened the door to a much bigger conversation.
In this episode of Today’s Biblical Alert, we consider what Scripture says about tattoos and, more importantly, about our bodies belonging to God. We’ll look at Leviticus 19:28 and 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 and consider why professing believers need to...
The Easy Way Out
In today’s Biblical Alert Podcast, we expose the relentless battle for hearts and minds in a world saturated by messages competing for our attention. With global advertising spending projected to reach staggering heights, believers are reminded that the greatest message is not the world's marketing, but the life-changing truth of the Gospel.
As we celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, we reflect on the freedoms secured by America’s founding documents and the even greater freedom found in Christ. Hear a firsthand report from a recent outreach mission in New York City, where thousands of U.S. C...
Patriotic or Political
In this episode of Today's Biblical Alert, the speaker explores the growing tendency to label difficult biblical topics as "political" rather than addressing them through the lens of Scripture. After a conversation with a veteran about faith, sin, and the state of the nation, the discussion turns to the difference between being patriotic and being political.
The episode examines how some churches avoid controversial subjects by dismissing them as political issues, even when they involve clear biblical teachings. Using examples from church life, cultural changes, and the fading public understanding of events like 9/11, the speaker...
I am Divorced
I Am Divorced
In this episode of Today's Biblical Alert, a simple encounter at a local dump sparks a deeper discussion about truth, responsibility, and the lasting impact of divorce. After meeting a man who openly shared both his testimony of salvation and the fact that he had been divorced, the speaker reflects on why certain life experiences leave such a profound mark on a person's story.
The message explores the Christian responsibility to proclaim the whole counsel of God, not merely the subjects people are comfortable discussing. Drawing from Acts 20...
From DC to Dallas
In this powerful episode of Biblical Alert, the host reflects on the life-changing events of September 11, 2001, sharing firsthand experiences from Washington, D.C. during the attacks and recounting the urgent journey to transport a stroke-stricken preacher across the country when all flights were grounded. Remembering the overwhelming display of American patriotism that united the nation in the aftermath of 9/11, he draws a parallel to the spiritual battles facing America today.
The discussion examines concerns about modern political, cultural, and moral challenges, while calling Christians to remain steadfast in their faith. Emphasizing the transforming...
Remember Now 9-11
On this special 9/11 remembrance episode, our team shares from the front lines of Gospel outreach at the 9/11 Memorial, where the hope of Christ is being proclaimed amid memories of tragedy and loss. Reflecting on the thousands who faced eternity that day, we consider a sobering question: What if, in their final moments, they remembered the Gospel message they had once heard and called on Jesus for salvation?
This episode is both a call to prayer and a call to remembrance. Have you ever heard the good news of Jesus Christ? Have you considered its significance for your...
Terror in TN
As America approaches the 25th anniversary of 9/11, disturbing questions arise about fear, intimidation, and the cultural challenges facing communities today. In this episode, we examine a troubling encounter in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, where a young man and his coworkers were unexpectedly confronted by a group of men whose aggressive words and actions left them shaken and fearful. The emotional aftermath was so profound that even his mother was met only with, "I can't talk about it. Give me time to think."
Through firsthand accounts and reflection, we explore themes of intimidation, religious expression, public confrontation...
Terrorists and God's Command
Fear, Evil, and the Need for God's Truth
In this episode, we examine the powerful promise of Psalm 91:5: "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day." As believers face a world filled with disturbing headlines and moral confusion, God's Word reminds us where true security is found.
We discuss shocking examples of human wickedness, including the Harvard Medical School morgue scandal involving the theft and illegal sale of donated body parts, and reflect on what such acts reveal about the fallen nature of...
Trail of Faith Tears and Blood
Journey through the spiritual and historical foundations of America in this thought-provoking episode. From the bold vision of leaders such as John Jay and Benjamin Franklin to the revolutionary words of the Declaration of Independence, we explore how faith, liberty, and self-government became woven into the nation's identity.
The conversation traces the enduring belief that human rights are endowed by God and examines how those ideals shaped the American experiment. The story then turns to Western North Carolina and the Cherokee people, highlighting the remarkable achievements of Sequoyah, whose Cherokee syllabary transformed literacy among the Cherokee Nation...
Working together
What does it mean to walk and work in agreement with God? Drawing from Amos 3:3 and 1 Corinthians 3:9, this Labor Day devotion explores the importance of unity in purpose, obedience, and gospel outreach. Reflecting on the nationwide distribution of GO250 Gospel literature, this episode challenges believers to consider their role in sowing the seed of God's Word and laboring together for the cause of Christ. The message also connects the solemn remembrance of 9/11, patriotism, and America's founding principles to the biblical truth that lasting freedom depends on a people who agree with and follow God's ways.

As rising market numbers and higher gas prices impact everyday Americans, this episode examines Revelation's warnings about wealthy power structures, deception, sorceries, and theft. Drawing from Dr. J. Royce Thomason's Study of Revelation, we explore historical accounts of religious relics, Martin Luther's awakening to justification by faith, and the dangers of spiritual deception. Join us for a thought-provoking look at current events through a prophetic biblical lens and the timeless call to stand firm in God's truth and not be deceived.

Soros and Bessent
Today's Biblical Alert examines the timeless warnings of Scripture in light of current events.

The discussion connects biblical principles with contemporary political and cultural issues, encouraging believers to remain grounded in faith, contentment, and godly wisdom. Listeners are reminded that "the love of money is the root of all evil" and challenged to flee worldly temptations while pursuing righteousness and steadfast devotion to God.
Key Topics:<...
Franklin's 5%
In this episode of Today’s Biblical Alert, we explore timeless biblical principles on debt, lending, stewardship, and spiritual leadership. Beginning with a sobering look at America’s national debt and the burden of financial obligation, we reflect on the biblical truth that "the borrower is servant to the lender."
Drawing from John Winthrop’s famous 1630 sermon aboard the Arabella, we examine the moral responsibility of lending and caring for those in need. We also discuss the importance of financial independence in ministry, highlighting Franklin Graham’s commitment to limiting government dependence and trusting God’s provision.

G20 Asheville
In this powerful episode of Monday's Moment of Money, we examine the convergence of global finance and biblical truth as world leaders, finance ministers, central bank governors, and Fortune 500 executives gather in Asheville, North Carolina, for high-level discussions on economic policy, financial regulation, cryptocurrency, and global economic challenges.
Against the backdrop of a United States national debt exceeding $40 trillion, we put the staggering scale of that number into perspective and ask a sobering question: Is our financial reality merely economic, or is it also spiritual? From mounting government debt to the financial burdens facing churches, Christian schools...
Summit to Sea
Why We Believe What We Believe
In this episode of Today in Biblical, we explore the importance of understanding and defending the truths that shape both our faith and our heritage.

We discuss the responsibility of parents, pastors, and churches to ground young people in biblical truth, equip them to stand firm in a culture of compromise, and...
Casual and Careless
As culture continues to drift further from biblical values, is the church lowering its standards to match the world?

From changing expectations in church attire to the broader issue of holiness and biblical conviction, this episode challenges believers to consider whether convenience and cultural acceptance have replaced honor, respect, and devotion to Christ. Why should Christians pursue excellence in the way they present themselves before...

Casualities of War
In this thought-provoking episode of Biblical Alert, we examine the sobering reality of war, conflict, and spiritual warfare through a biblical lens. With an estimated 85 to 105 million lives lost in World Wars I and II and more than 130 active armed conflicts around the globe today, Jesus' warning of "wars and rumors of wars" remains strikingly relevant.
We explore the connection between the words casual and casualty, tracing their origins to a Latin word meaning "to fall," and ask a challenging question: Have Christians become too casual about the serious matters of faith? From biblical preaching and worship...
Casual Casualties
This episode explores the dangerous connection between becoming too casual and the serious casualties that can result. Drawing from real-life hospital experiences, personal loss, and stories of medical mistakes, the message highlights how routine and familiarity can sometimes lead to devastating consequences when vigilance is lost.
The lesson then turns to the church, challenging pastors and believers to guard against a casual approach to worship, preaching, and the eternal truths of God.

School Made harder
Work Smarter, Not Harder
In this episode of Is Today's Biblical Alert, we examine the popular saying, "Work smarter, not harder." Is it biblical wisdom, or does it reflect man's tendency to seek shortcuts apart from God?
We'll explore the difference between godly wisdom and worldly cleverness, why many people learn life lessons the hard way, and how Scripture calls believers to seek knowledge and understanding from the Lord rather than from human reasoning alone. From education and government influence to the changing landscape of Christian schools, we'll discuss the importance o...

We also reflect on the wisdom of Founding Father and...
Ecumenical Evangelism
This episode raises a sobering question: would the fundamental churches and ministries of today be recognizable to the Bible-believing leaders who stood for doctrinal separation, biblical conviction, and spiritual vigilance decades ago? Looking back over more than 75 years, we examine concerns about the influence of modernism, ecumenical compromise, and the gradual erosion of historic fundamental convictions within churches and ministries across America.
Drawing a parallel to America's 250th anniversary, this message also asks whether the nation's founders would recognize the government and culture that exist today. Just as they warned that freedom requires constant vigilance, faithful believers...
Shigionoth
From the valley of fear to the mountain of praise, this week’s Biblical Alert explores the powerful message of the prophet Habakkuk. After hearing the voice of God, Habakkuk was transformed, moving from trembling uncertainty to confident worship and surrender.
Throughout Scripture, those who encountered the holiness and majesty of God were deeply impacted. Moses trembled on Sinai, Joshua fell on his face, Daniel was overwhelmed, and Peter, James, and John stood in awe at the Mount of Transfiguration. Yet each encounter points to the same truth: when we lift our eyes above our circumstances and fi...

The Naked Hook
In today’s Biblical episode, Brother Ronnie delivers a direct and challenging message about the growing pressure of worldly influence on Christians, churches, and even pastors. Using the illustration of fish being drawn to a simple shiny lure, he warns how easily believers can be attracted by the "naked hooks" of modern culture, including trends, entertainment, fashion, social media, and the desire for acceptance.
This episode examines how the world, the flesh, and the devil work together to pull God’s people away from biblical standards and spiritual discernment. Brother Ronnie calls listeners to stop meas...
Join the Losers
This episode of Biblical Alert examines the contrast between biblical convictions and cultural pressures in today's world.

Drawing from James 1:15-16, the discussion focuses on temptation, sin, spiritual discernment, and Christian maturity. We urge that believers must base their decisions on God's will rather than emotions, public opinion, or societal trends. Through reflections on youthful rebellion and observations about the modern church...
Skinny PopPop
