Today is the first day of a new month, the first day of a new year, and the first day of a new decade. God has allowed us to live to this day and to labor for Him. How blessed we all are!

Joshua gave the children of Israel instructions from God as they moved forward. In Joshua 3:4 he said, “that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.” None of us have passed this way before and all of us need divine direction.

Someone stated the obvious when they said, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life!” A great year must be lived one day at a time. By God’s grace let’s begin well today.

OUR FIRST PODCASTS OF 2020

It is hard to believe that today we begin our 3rd year of Enjoying The Journey broadcasts. The Lord truly has done “exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20). Nearly 600,000 Bible study episodes have now been downloaded and new people around the world continue to join us every day! All praise to God for His favor and any fruit that comes from it.

The next three days on Enjoying The Journey we will talk about how to make the most of the new year. God’s Word points the way! I hope you will join us for these studies. (You may find the archive of all ETJ episodes at podcast.scottpauley.org.) On January 6 we will launch a brand new series that you will not want to miss! More on that later.

There are many who base their entire view of themselves, their purpose, and their worth on the perception of others. In our day, many people allow social media algorithms to define them rather than our eternal God. Algorithms or Almighty God? This is a Battle for Definition.

Algorithms or Almighty God: Who Defines You?

When Onesimus was thrown in jail, Paul shared with him the glorious message of forgiveness and mercy in Jesus Christ. Onesimus becoame a believer as well. Imagine his shock when he found out the man who had just led him to the Lord Jesus Christ also showed his master (Philemon) how to be saved. Further, they are dear friends! Onesimus was sent back to Philemon, back home with a letter of pardon. That letter stated that his life was changed forever.

The purpose of Bible memory and how to practice it. God wrote a memory Book! This is what the Word of God was given for: to help us remember what God wants us to remember and what we are so prone to forget. Scripture memory is frequently emphasized to children and young people, but sorely neglected as we get older. Yet this is the time when God's Word most needs to be reinforced and rehearsed! Hebrews 2:1 says, "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip."
