Deliver Me Not Into Temptation July 30, 2025

Posted by Dr. Robert Owens in Uncategorized.

True salvation

is deliverance,

from our own self-will

and our worldly self-life

in exchange for God’s life.

Deliverance

from the power of evil

is not accomplished,

by merely,

“turning over a new leaf,”

or by

making a few

superficial changes

in how we live.

True deliverance

saves us from

the “I will”

that is the root of all sin.

Satan’s original

and most successful temptation

is that we can “be like God.”

Man’s greatest

and most destructive error

is the self-centered determination,

that we

are the lord of our life.

If Christ

is not Lord of all

He

is not Lord at all.

In “This is the Way God Works” S5 / E14 of I Took a Right Turn:Today we look at how God works in the world and in our lives.  Moving on we share a few good songs that praise how God deals with us: Jesus Got a Holda My LifeMy Sins Are Gone at Last, and There is None Like You.  Next, we share a brand-new home-grown song: The Voice.  Opening our Bibles we investigate I Corinthians 1:18-21 and we read about the way God decided to deal with the world.  After this Robert reads the poem “Deliver Me Not into Temptation” from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time. Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.

The text of these readings is posted the day after the release of each episode at www.itookarighturn.com All of Robert’s forty books are available in paperback and kindle through Amazon. We also invite everyone to visit our online art store, The Pair a Docs Shop where we offer our original paintings, prints and merchandise.

If we read the New Testament with Old Testament eyes, it will transform the grace of Christ into the laws of Christian pharisees.

The devil we know may seem better than the devil we don’t know, but it’s still the devil.

This is the eighth volume of New Old Sayings.  Another one thousand quips, quotes, and offerings of what I have seen, gleaned, and perceived.   May these be received in the same spirit in which they are offered, love and a desire to share what God has given me so that He can give others even more.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make His face shine upon you and give you peace.

What is the Value? July 23, 2025

We determine

the value of something

by the price

someone is willing to pay for it.

What price was paid

for our salvation?

The most precious blood of Christ

poured out

to atone for our sins,

the holy for the wicked.

Once we begin

to see those around us

as people God

was willing to pay

the ultimate price for,

we will begin

to value each life

as God does.

In “How Can I Help” S5 / E13 of I Took a Right Turn:We start off talking about how everyone is important to God.  Then we move on to a few of our old favorites: He’s Got the Whole World in His HandsJesus Loves Me, and Jesus I’ll Never Forget.  Then we share another of our homegrown songs: Jesus Would Have Gone to the Cross. Turning to the Bible we open to Romans 15:1-2 and we learn that we are called to serve others. Robert moves on to read the poem “What is the Value?” from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time. Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.
