This is It Is Written. I'm John Bradshaw. Thanks for joining me. Although military combat has historically been the domain of men, many women have seen action on the front lines. It's said that somewhere between 400 and 750 women fought in the Civil [...]

Today the ruins of the biblical City of Smyrna have been swallowed up by the bustling city of Izmir on turkey's West Coast; two thousand years ago, there was a thriving Christian community there. Jesus tells that church they'll suffer dreadful [...]

In Revelation, Jesus tells the church in Ephesus they're in danger of losing everything, spiritually speaking, but that they can retain their standing with God. Jesus says, "Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the [...]

The letters to the seven churches in Revelation aren't for the faint of heart. The messages were to real churches in real locations, in what's now Western Turkey. Ephesus was an important city located on the Aegean Sea, and Jesus warned the [...]

Reports from Argentina said a rubbish dump was closed after locals began finding 100$ bills there, as much as $75,000 in all. Seems the money was in a closet discarded after its owner died. Free money, and people come running in the hope that [...]

It's interesting to see what passes for sophistication. People who drink in wine bars are seen as fashionable and chic, nightclubs are trendy hot spots. Many high-profile celebrities move from one partner to another, clocking up notches on their [...]

People forget, don't they? It's hard to know how you could forget something like this, but they did. God told Solomon that if the time should come that there was no rain, well let's look at this. 1 Chronicles 7:13 and 14, God said, "If I shut [...]

So, God has Elijah confront king Ahab, and tell him there won't be any rain for three and a half years. How desperate would things be after a drought that long? Would people suffer? Oh yes, they would. So why would God be so tough? People struggle [...]

Well, that had to be uncomfortable. A report said the once famous actor was dead, reports apparently from the man's wife and management team. But although he was in decline and died a couple of days later, at the time he was very much alive. When [...]

Temptation is a fact of life. You can put yourself where you're less likely to be tempted, but temptation will find you. It has the ability to wear you down. At first you might be strong in the face of a certain sin, but if you're not firm about [...]

A lot of people are looking for stability, many lives are marked by insecurity, that person with rent to pay who just lost their job, people taking a step forward and then slipping right back to where they started for various reasons. Illness can be [...]

In 1956 a judge in Florida threatened Elvis Presley with jail time if he didn't tone down the suggestive nature of a stage act. Seems almost quaint today, but at the risk of sounding terribly old-fashioned, the judge had a point, not that Presley [...]

This is It Is Written. I'm John Bradshaw. Thanks for joining me. You wonder how it can happen. I mean, we're a long way into the 21st century now, and yet the problem is as bad, in fact, the problem is worse now than it's ever been before. CNN [...]

Some years ago, a financial advisor wrote that "If you can't afford to buy a house, just stop buying lattes". His theory was that if you took the money, you fritted away, and invested that money, you'd get ahead. The idea, whether you [...]

If you had less than stellar parents, the good news is that you don't have to repeat their mistakes. You might inherit their hair color or eye color, but while you might be naturally predisposed to acting like them, you don't have to be angry like [...]

Youth, young people, kids, yeah, they're an easy target, and that's because they have more energy than experience; they're still learning. Growing up is an actual thing, and that road isn't especially easy. So the question is, do older people get it [...]

Leaders have a great amount of influence, but followers also have power, and they really ought to use it. It's mystifying, but it's true that, "It came to pass when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and had strengthened himself, he forsook [...]

The split in Israel that divided Israel and Judah happened when Rehoboam became king right after Solomon's death. The people asked King Rehoboam to lighten their burdens. Solomon had worked them severely and taxed them unreasonably, but they told [...]

Have you ever done something we have really sort of blown it, and it needn't have happened? Let's be honest, of course you have. Something you said, a rash act, something you did under pressure or in the heat of the moment. It might have cost you a [...]

If anyone was qualified to speak to young people about their life and faith, it was Solomon. He wasn't a young man when he wrote Ecclesiastes, which is why he could write with clarity. He understood young people have it rough, they're still figuring [...]

Imagine you're the third King in Israel's history, the son of a mighty man. You've given incredible wisdom, and you become very powerful. And then you blow it, turning your back on the God who appeared to you twice, trashing God's name, marinating [...]

When king Solomon married the daughter of the Egyptian pharaoh, it seemed like a good strategic move. The Bible says he made affinity with Pharaoh. It was good in terms of international relations, but you read later that, "When Solomon was [...]
