We have seen the impact of his life and the appropriateness of the description. It remains, in closing, for us to examine the reasons for his fruitfulness. Genesis 49-50 ]]> Fri, 29 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=1/28/2010 Everybody is growing old. Some are further along than others. But growing older does not necessarily mean growing wiser, more mature, or holier. It can mean becoming meaner, crabbier, and more selfish. We need to take care to grow old gracefully and gratefully! Genesis 48 ]]> Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=1/27/2010 Relationships in Joseph's family were sadly in need of repair. On the surface it appears he was making matters worse, but he was forcing the brothers to face up to the seriousness of the problem. Deep-rooted relational problems seldom yield to superficial solutions. Genesis 44 ]]> Wed, 27 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=1/26/2010 Life had taken some remarkable twists and turns for Joseph and his family, making considerable adjustments necessary. How they handled change is instructive, for we must handle change well if we are to live productively in a continually changing world. Genesis 43 ]]> Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=1/25/2010 The days in which Joseph lived were so full of challenge that there was a great need for someone to stand up, accept responsibility, and give direction to troubled people. We live in similar days and God's people are called to live responsibly in them. Genesis 42 ]]> Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=1/22/2010 By the time he was in his twenties, Joseph had suffered enough discouragement to last a lifetime. How he coped is enlightening for all who are discouraged. Genesis 40 ]]> Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=1/21/2010 The Apostle Paul said, "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances." Joseph apparently could have uttered similar sentiments because, despite being sold as a slave, we are told, "The Lord was with (him) and gave him success in whatever he did." Genesis 39 ]]> Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=1/20/2010 The story of Joseph starts with his betrayal at the tender age of seventeen. His handling of this traumatic situation speaks volumes of the qualities already rooted in his young life.

He is a master of Illusion: Everything you need is here and now. He is a master of Confusion: God will turn a blind eye to injustice so go ahead and let the world cry. Ecclesiastes 3:11 ]]> Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/28/2009 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/25/2009 Fri, 25 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/24/2009 Luke 2:7 ]]> Thu, 24 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/23/2009 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/22/2009 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/21/2009 Luke 2:8-20 ]]> Mon, 21 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/18/2009 In the days of Herod the Great, the fortunes of Israel were at a low ebb. Centuries had passed since the prophets had spoken and a word from the Lord was needed to waken the people from their spiritual stupor. It came through an old priest, his elderly wife and their remarkable son. Today's situation is similar. Luke 1:5-25 ]]> Fri, 18 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/17/2009 Clustered around the Christmas event are a number of people whose experiences can be extremely instructive to us as we once again face the Christmas rush. Luke 1:26-56 ]]> Thu, 17 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/16/2009 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/15/2009 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/14/2009 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/11/2009 There are lots of gift exchanges around Christmas time. We give gifts to our friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers. But there is one gift exchange that is better than all the rest - The Ultimate Gift Exchange that takes place between God and us. And although God only desires one gift from us, He showers us with many amazing gifts that can fill us up. In this message, Pete explores the many gifts that God gives us, while also explaining what we can give to God in return. ]]> Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/10/2009 In today's society, we feel the need to pack as many things into the day as possible. Restful activities are a thing of the past. Conversation has been replaced by TV. Naps are for lazy people. Walks in the park take too long. But, did you know that God wants us to rest? In fact, rest is a gift from God. This message by Pete, explains how we can learn to say "No" to things, so that we can say "Yes" to rest. ]]> Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/9/2009 Everyone knows there are laws to follow when driving a car...no speeding, no tailgating, no running red lights. Have you ever disobeyed those rules and gotten caught? If so, maybe you remember feeling angry, embarrassed, or guilty about it. Many of us feel the same way when we sin by not following God's laws. In this message, Pete dives into the book of Galatians to help us understand how Christ freed us from the bondage of sin. ]]> Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/8/2009 II Corinthians 9:6-15 ]]> Tue, 08 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/7/2009 II Corinthians 9:6-15 ]]> Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/4/2009 John concludes his Prologue by calling Jesus "the One and only" to show us His uniqueness. If we are convinced that John is right about Jesus, the question arises: What are the ramifications of the Word becoming flesh? So what? Now what? John 1:14-18 ]]> Fri, 04 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/3/2009 We have learned how to send people to the moon - and get them back again. But we have not succeeded in solving many of the pressing problems on earth. Many despair that we ever will. So the news that God visited our planet to put matters right is exciting. Or is it? John 1:10-11 ]]> Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=12/2/2009 For centuries, the prophets had promised and predicted the Incarnation.

There was no cranberry sauce; there were no pumpkins. There was no football; there were no family reunions. There was just a group of people who were grateful that they finally arrived! And that was "Thanksgiving Without the Trimmings." ]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/25/2009 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/24/2009 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/23/2009 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/20/2009 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/19/2009 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/18/2009 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/17/2009 As we have seen, it is too easy for people to become spiritually sleepy and sloppy. To counteract these tendencies, we are to "encourage" and "build each other up." Here we look at practical ways of doing this. ]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/16/2009 The teaching the Thessalonians had received concerning "the coming of the Lord" had very practical ramifications. The Church has always needed encouragement to stay alert to them. ]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/13/2009 The Thessalonians had learned a lot about the future but there was still some confusion about death and what happens after death. So the missionaries gave further instruction so the believers would look ahead with joy. ]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/12/2009 In the brief period that they had been in Thessalonica the missionaries had been careful to teach the believers "how to live in order to please God." The fact that they also emphasized this in their letter shows that they attached great importance to encouraging this objective. ]]> Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/11/2009 Paul was so concerned about the Thessalonian believers that he sent Timothy to "strengthen and encourage (them) in (their) faith." When he received word that they were indeed "standing firm in the Lord" he was greatly encouraged himself. ]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/10/2009 The stated objective of Paul and his co-workers for the Thessalonians was to encourage them to aim high, to "live lives worthy of God." We need to know, not only what they meant by this, but also what means they used to attain their objectives. ]]> Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/9/2009 Paul described his work among the Thessalonians as, "encouraging, comforting, and urging you to live lives worthy of God." But Paul and his colleagues also needed encouragement. In fact, everyone needs encouragement! ]]> Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=11/6/2009 David did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord and turned not aside from anything that He commanded, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite (I Kings 15:5). David broke seven of the ten commandments in one night of sensual indulgence. Sin is coming short of God's standard and has consequences. Is there any sin too big for God to forgive? Can someone who has sinned be restored and renewed? Can God use them again? In other words, is there "life after sin"?

Giant Temptation. "Let's see what you can do," they said as they sent him on his way from the dark places. Giant Temptation settled down to wait for his opportunity. It was not long in coming.

(Luke: 10:39) One of the things that matters most to Jesus is our personal relationship with Him. This matters to Him even when it doesn't matter to us! He offers the human race an incredible invitation. He says, "Let's talk." What does this mean? It involves listening to His Word and responding in prayer. ]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=10/13/2009 As Christians, we'd all agree prayer is important.

This love imitates God, focuses on others, and leads to positive change. Living life without love shrivels a man's soul. Love is a learned art. Jesus wants to be our teacher. After all, He knows how to do it.

Some of them are fulfilled; others never come to fruition. The circumstances of life for some are so full of problems and disappointments that the heart may become discouraged and sometimes embittered. This Psalm speaks to the issues of the longing heart. Psalm 37 ]]> Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=9/10/2009 The Psalmist openly admits that in his heart he is experiencing "intense inner turmoil." He is feeling lonely, pressured and concerned. So he turns his thoughts to the Lord, refreshing his mind and laying his concerns out in prayer. Psalm 25 ]]> Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=9/9/2009 Do you believe God has a plan for your life? Most of us do. But when life takes an unexpected turn, we are often left wondering if we can rely on that truth. Pete Briscoe shows us how peace comes during times of uncertainty when we stop "trusting in the answer" and begin "trusting in THE LORD." Proverbs 3:5 ]]> Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=9/8/2009 Life is full of squalls - sudden unannounced and unexpected storms that can lead us to question if God is in control of our lives. Death, sickness, unemployment, broken relationships, fears and failures are some of the troubles Satan uses to swamp us with doubt, usually when we're already stressed and exhausted. How do you respond when you're hit with the squalls of life? Are you like the disciples in Mark 4 who wondered why Jesus slept while their boat was sinking, or do you believe God is in as much control when He's seemingly asleep as when He's obviously awake? Do you pray, "Don't let there be another squall"? Or do you see storms as part of God's plan for your life? ]]> Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Telling_the_Truth/?bcd=9/7/2009 Have you noticed society seems to define people by what they do for a living? Even though followers of Christ know this shouldn't be the case, we can fall into this and other wrong attitudes about our work. Using Scripture as his guide, Pete Briscoe examines what our true motivation for work should be and what attitudes can hurt or help us in being who God wants us to be.

Even though they sound different from one another, Stuart, Jill and Pete Briscoe teach passionately about one constant - God's grace and love and the uncompromising truth of His Word.

It's through the ministry of Telling the Truth that Stuart, Jill and Pete communicate their biblical teaching in the U.S., U.K. and around the world. Three different styles - one timeless message. Stuart offers an in-depth intellectual perspective in his teaching, dry English humor, and practical application that ties it all together. Jill teaches God's Word with honesty and passion, while breathing vibrant life into the words and lessons of the Bible. Pete, the youngest son of the Briscoes and senior pastor at Bent Tree Bible Fellowship in Dallas, offers teaching that is engaging, relevant, and contemporary, yet it never strays from biblical truth. Balancing grace with truth in equal measure, he has a heart for hurting people who desperately need the Lord.

The ministry broadcasts a daily half-hour program on 50 Christian radio outlets in the U.S. including Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Seattle, Dallas, and the Los Angeles area. Outside the United States, Telling the Truth is broadcast on local radio to London and Seoul and distributed via satellite to the United Kingdom, Europe and to ten countries in southern Africa.

The program can also be heard via audio streaming, MP3 download, or podcasting here on oneplace.com and at the ministry website: tellingthetruth.org.
