Summary

Fr. Mike explains sins of omission, and how these are some of the biggest deciding factors of who goes to heaven and who goes to hell: whether or not we did good works God called us to. He also reminds us that not all of the New Testament parables are universally relevant, recalling the parable of the talents and the parable of the wise and foolish maidens. Today's readings are Matthew 25-26 and Proverbs 19:21-24.

0:00.0	We can't lose our faith the way we lose our car keys. We either give it away or we let it decay
0:06.4	because we don't use it. Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz. And in my new book, Unshakeable,
0:11.8	building a life of virtue in a world of chaos, I tell faith-filled stories that inspire you
0:17.1	to live a life of virtue that flows from the unshakable power of God.
0:21.6	Although we're surrounded by a culture that mocks virtue, we can feed ourselves stories

0:29.6	When we live this way, we experience freedom and joy like never before.
0:35.6	It's my prayer that the stories in my book, Unshakeable, will inspire you

1:04.5	The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension.
1:11.0	Using the great adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. Here we are, you guys. We are on day 265. That means, you know what that
1:17.8	means, that if I've done my math right, we are 100 days away from day 365, which on one perspective
1:25.2	can seem like so far away, but at the other perspective, we think,
1:29.0	oh my gosh, we're already two and a half times that into the year, right?
1:33.7	More or less?
1:34.5	Anyways, oh gosh, we're reading Matthew chapter 25 and 26, just two chapters today.
1:40.4	Two chapters were the Lord Jesus.
1:42.5	He reveals a lot of the need to prepare and get ready for his return.
1:46.6	We're also reading Proverbs chapter 19 versus 21 through 24.
1:50.0	As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from is the revised standard version, second Catholic edition.
