I just love doing this show. I have so many of you all over the world, writing me and telling me what you are getting out of it. It has been a surprise to me that it is men and women both because when we started this show it was really supposed to just be for women but it has not worked out that way. I probably have easily as many men watching as women, so when I do these lessons I have to think about how does it apply to a man and how does it apply to a woman. When does it apply to a marriage and when does it apply to a family and when does it apply to a career?Today, we are talking about a woman from the Bible who made a big mistake, BIG mistake; Eve. The title of the lesson is “A Good Girl Who Made a Bad Mistake.” There are a lot of evil people in the world and they do bad things. They do not care. They do not care if it hurts anybody. They do not care about anybody. They just want to do what they want to do and then there are good people who make really serious mist...

Can you tell that God is challenging you through these lessons? I can tell He is challenging me. I do not teach things that I have not either lived myself or I go to it right after I teach the lesson and God is helping me prepare ahead of time. I do not ever do anything just blind. I listen, I hear, I say “What do you want?” I have kept all of my teachings for 35 years and I have them. I have them on my computer; I have them in hard copy. I have almost 500 of them. Everyone has at least one gift from the Lord. Some of you have many. Mine gift is teaching and I love to do it. I love to share with you. I love to try it myself, and then I love to tell what God has done. Jesus is amazing. He is so real. He loves you.I am talking to you from America; I am talking to you from Texas so “Howdy”. Life is wonderful. It is meant to be lived with gusto, with joy and with enthusiasm, even through the hard things. God wants you to finish strong. What did the apostle Paul say? “I have ...

That was a pretty big thing to have happen.Sometimes right after you have had a really big high, you are not guarded or protected enough. Then something can happen and you totally lose it. All of your Christianity goes out the window. Even then Jesus was in control of His anger and in control of getting fed up with them. The Bible says, “When they arrived at the bottom of the hill a huge crowd was waiting for Him. A man came and knelt before Jesus and said ‘Sir, have mercy on my son for he is mentally deranged. He has fits and he is in great trouble and he often falls into the fire or into the water. I brought him to your disciples but they couldn’t cure him.’” Jesus had already told them, “You are going to be able to do everything I do,” just like He tells us we can do everything.

A lot of you write me, e-mail or call me, and tell me how much this is meaning to you. If you could see it from my point of view, you would know how that thrills me. I pray so much about these shows before I do them. The people that help me produce them, the camera men and the director, all help me and we all pray together. We really want to touch lives. We want this to be a show that makes a real difference in people’s lives. A lot of people that are programmers on this station, and even around the world, are very knowledgeable in Hebrew studies and deep studies of the Bible. When they teach, they are so interesting. That is not what God has called me to do. What God has called me to do is to teach practical Christianity. That is where you learn how to read the Bible every day, let God talk to you out of it, and then you live your life based on the Word you have read or things you have learned about God. You live your everyday life in the Word of God. It is so wonderful. T...

The same things happened then that happens now. They had family issues and relationship issues just like we do. It will be so interesting when we get to heaven and can talk to these people, and we find out that nothing was really different. Everything was the same. It has been amazing to me as I have traveled round the world and talked to people. I have discovered they are all pretty much alike. Most people just want some peace in their life. They would like to have a happy family, have good children, have a good marriage, and do some nice things and help some people. That is pretty much what people would like out of like. Why can we not have that? Have you ever asked yourself that? There are several reasons why we do not have that. One is that there are people in the world that do not feel that way and they will do whatever they need to do, by hook or crook, to step on whoever t...
