I Thought Forever Lasts Longer Than This

I DON'T WANT TO HOLD YOU NOW Girl, we've shared so much I know your dreams And it's breaking my heart apart To know they don't include me I fought to play the hero Gave it my best try Though you're life's not mine to save But in this final moment Whispering goodbye Emotions flood me like a wave (chorus) But I don't want to hold you now Cause I won't let you go I'd lie to myself Say I'll get through some how But I'm not that strong So don't take it wrong If I don't want to hold you now Your smile could light my soul Now memories must do Still I can't bear the thought Of someone else holding you Caught between clinging to my heart And a love worth letting go So don't mistake my silence For a man not pulled apart Cause my heart is screaming no Chorus (bridge) And I know your flame’ll burn brighter When it’s free to breathe But it’s taking all my strength Just to let you let you leave © 2019, David Litwin

I Don't Want To Hold You Now

Tragic story man facing a loved lost to a best friend, and the awful ways that friend ruined the woman he loved.

The Light In Her Eyes

All to often, when it comes to the damaging "wages of sin," many people appear to get off Scott free. While pleasure is the intent of most people engaging in "sin," that is often merely sin in its baby state. Once sin matures, it develops into what it was always intended to become, and that isn't so easily controlled. Using a hypothetical scenario, we discover just how damaging "mature" sin can be; not just to the individual, but also to all of those in the surrounding communities.

Episode 22: TROUBLE IN PARADISE - The Danger of "Maturing" Sin

A common evangelistic verse is Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death... " Much of the world then turns around and avoids the approach, choosing instead to engage in pleasure. But playing out the verse to a deeper and more "work related" conclusion, we uncover that while the culture may like the 'vocation' of sin, they have rarely considered the Salary Package.

Episode 21: Rethinking "the Wages of Sin"- A SALARY No One Bargained For

Too often, when we read the Word of God, we read the surface of the text. Although there is vital life-transforming power just on the surface of the text, the Bible is defined as, "Living and Active." What if that term isn't merely a positive adjective, but a tangible and practical reality? Using Star Wars and the DVD Director's Commentary feature metaphorically, you can not only discover the validation of the words "Living and Active" - but also understand how the Bible can come alive to you like never before!

Episode 20: Rethinking "Living and Active"- How Scripture Comes Alive!

Most Christians know the verse in Matthew 6: "Thy Kingdom come... on earth as it is in Heaven." But how do we turn this verse into applicable action? By taking the term "Reconciliation" back to it's BANKING roots, we discover what we can do to reintroduce God's intent back into our modern world.

Episode 19: Rethinking "Reconciliation"- Insights into "Thy Kingdom Come"

This is probably the most potent and powerful podcast to date! In the last podcast, we talked about how the OUTCOMES of our actions can either build or stagnate a society, and that God wants to prosper ALL of humanity. But what if that prosperous system translates far deeper than the individual and even that individual's history and society? What if God's insights extend to the next generation and beyond? Through an understanding of "Epigenetics," we discover just how loving our Creator God is and continues to be. Part of these insights are found from reading the following article ("DNA is Not Destiny"): http://discovermagazine.com/2006/nov/cover

Episode 18: Epigenetics, Humanity's Prosperity and God's "Fruitful" Laws

America has faced some recent economic downturns. But what if there were ways to make both you and your nation more prosperous? What if prosperity came through the OUTCOME of our actions, and that we can either sabotage or incite prosperity in this immediate hour?

Episode 17: Using Wisdom to Prosper America (or any Other Nation)

Often, the church thinks that to influence the culture it needs to be relevant, but taking a look at the periphery of one of Jesus' parables in Matthew 20, we discover that is cultural ENGAGEMENT, not relevancy that may be our needed approach in this "11th Hour" Society.

Episode 16: Our need for Cultural Engagement: 11th HOUR EVANGELISM

In the most strategic podcast yet, we discuss how to use the Biblical Worldview to uncover aspects of addictions that the secular world cannot see. Without judgment, David uncovers the strategy of addiction, the way it propagates and the answers that the church should be communicating.

Episode 15: Using WIsdom to Expose the "Insanity" of Addiction

For decades, the most common approach to evangelism has been to start with separation through sin. But that starts the Gospel at Genesis 3, not Genesis 1:1. Creating and operating through a "Pre-Fall" gospel message not only offers an inspirational story of truly "Great News," but produces a powerful bridge into culture.

Episode 2: Rethinking the Timetable of our Gospel Message

Too often, Christians are content with the "God said it, I believe it, and that settles it," approach to faith, and their interaction with culture. REThinker aims to transform that mindset, uncovering deeper and richer insights and understanding when we start to ask the WHY questions.

Episode 1: Asking the "Why" Questions to Better Engage Culture

For millennia, the church has attacked people for their actions, but fail to understand how God is concerned with OUTCOMES. More than just a paradigm shift in thought, focusing on outcomes becomes a huge cultural bridge between the church and the culture, and the objective and the subjective.

14. Cultural Strategy: OUTCOME over Actions

Once we uncover the differences between knowledge and wisdom, we discover the vital and transformative power of "understanding." Understanding is not only the bridge between the intended and the broken, but it is truly, "Strategies of Heaven that change Earth."

13. Becoming a Person of UNDERSTANDING Part 2

REThinker is a Christian - based podcast designed to go deeper into Biblical Scriptures, God's Laws, Jesus' Parables and other aspects of faith to ask the WHY? Questions and uncover powerful and resonant truths applicable to our culture and to our modern age.
