Do you struggle with the word “submit”—especially when it comes to government, rules, or leadership you didn’t choose?

In this Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster explains why Scripture connects submission to the will of God. This episode shows that biblical submission isn’t about politics or personality—it’s about honoring the Lord, walking wisely, and doing well in a world that grows more evil.

You’ll also hear a clear reminder that God’s will includes a life marked by thanksgiving, and that Jesus Christ is our perfect example—He did not live for His own will, but for the Father’s will.

1 Peter 2:13–15 • Hebrews 13:7 • 1 Thessalonians 5:18
John 5:19, 30 • John 4:34 • Romans 12:2 • Job 28:28

In the next devotion, we’ll continue from here and look at why discerning God’s will requires a renewed mind—and how living in the flesh fights against it.

Scripture (KJV)Next Episode

The Christian life is not lived on autopilot—and in days like these, careless living comes at a cost.

In this first devotion of a new series from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 5:15–16 (KJV) and lays the foundation for practical Christian living. God’s command is clear:
“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise—redeeming the time.”

This episode calls listeners to examine their daily walk. Are we living with focus and spiritual awareness—or drifting through life distracted and reactive? Using the picture of a tightrope walker, this devotion explains what it means to walk carefully, with balance and intention, in a world filled with spiritual danger.

In this episode, you’ll reflect on:

• What it means to walk circumspectly

• The difference between foolish and wise living

• Why lost time and missed opportunities cannot be recovered

• Why evil days demand spiritual focus, not complacency

This episode sets the foundation—but it is only the beginning.

➡️ In the next episode, we’ll continue in Ephesians 5 and look deeper at what it means to understand the will of the Lord, not just avoid foolishness. Wisdom is more than being careful—it’s knowing how God wants us to live.

🎧 Don’t stop here. Continue with the next episode and stay in the Word as we learn how to live wisely in evil days.

It’s possible to look religious—yet still not truly know Christ.

In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Matthew 25 (KJV) and warns about false assurance through the parable of the ten virgins: lamps without oil, a shut door, and a sobering separation. This isn’t fear—it’s a loving wake-up call.
