Become New with John Ortberg

Join us as John Ortberg discusses one of his favorite books, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. One of the supreme masterpieces of world literature, Crime and Punishment catapulted Dostoyevsky to the forefront of Russian writers and into the ranks of the world's greatest novelists. Drawing upon experiences from his own prison days, the author recounts in feverish, compelling tones the story of Raskolnikov, an impoverished student tormented by his own nihilism, and the struggle between good and evil. In the series, Passage to Wisdom, John continues to share his thoughts from books that have been deeply influential in his life.    Key verses: ➡️  'Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.' - James 5:16 NIV (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JAS.5.16.NIV) ➡️ 'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.' - 1 John 1:9 NIV (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/1JN.1.9.NIV)  Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel BecomeNew.Me and say hello 👋 in the comments. Don't forget to tap the bell icon 🔔 to be notified when the next episode releases.  Connect with BecomeNew.Me 🎙Podcast: http://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/... 🤳Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/becomenew.me📲 For daily alerts, text the word BECOME to the number 56525 📧 Invite a friend by sharing the link: BecomeNew.Me  #becomenew #johnortberg #devotional #Dostoyevsky #brain #anxiety #depression #secrets #sin

Welcome to the series, Passage to Wisdom, where John Ortberg shares thoughts from books that have been deeply influential in his life. This week, John is looking at the book 'My God and I', a moving spiritual memoir from the pen of Lewis B. Smedes — renowned Christian author, beloved professor, keen theologian and ethicist, extraordinary human being.   Today's topic:  God's presence  Verses: Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:7-12 https://www.bible.com/bible/111/PSA.139.NIV  Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel BecomeNew.Me and say hello in the comments. Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/becomenew.me For daily alerts, text the word BECOME to the number 56525 Invite a friend by sharing the link: BecomeNew.Me  #becomenew #johnortberg #devotional #whereisGod #God #presence #Jesus

Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.'
