Ultimate wisdom is found in Jesus, His Word and getting one foot already seated in heaven. In this way we begin to love with the wisdom of heavens perspective. Those who don’t are living in darkness and already have one foot in Sheol. ★ Support this podcast ★

Ep 313Deuteronomy 17 The people and the king were to worship God alone.
When God set out to create His family he wanted them to worship Him and Him alone. He also spoke about the importance of a future king honoring the Word of God, having just one wife and not being focuses on silver or gold. It is clear in our plurality of faith today we have gotten far from this objective. We live under a different government system with a different constitution with religious freedom. May we use our freedom to worship the one tre God and Him alone. ★ Support this podcast ★

Ep 308Deuteronomy 12 Doing whats right in God’s eyes.
In this stage of Biblical history God is establishing a Theocracy. God is king and all in his nation are governed to worship Him and Him alone. Jesus lived in a day where Rome had an earthly secular King. Today in America we vote in a president and have a secular government. Although we cannot force worship of Jesus today we seek to be his witnesses and make disciples. The alternate to worshipping Jesus is each man doing whats right in his own eyes. This leads to greater secularism and ultimately all things bad. This is largely where America is headed without a revival. ★ Support this podcast ★
Ep 307Deuteronomy 11 An introduction to blessing and cursing.

Ep 303Deuteronomy 7 A plurality of faith and “god’s” is a snare.
God wanted to have a holy people in sole worship of Him who would bear his image and likeness and be fruitful and multiply. When false God worship is permitted it is a snare to God’s objective. Since He created it all He gets to declare man’s purpose. Does God think America’s constitution has worked to meet his objective? Our freedom to worship Him is to be treasured yet is it possible the false worship in our land is a snare? ★ Support this podcast ★
Ep 302Deuteronomy 6 Believing is to lead to obeying.

Ep 301Deuteronomy 5 “Shama” the Lord and His Word

Today we begin a magnificent book, the book of Deuteronomy. It is a reminder of Israel’s history in the desert and a reminder of God’s instruction before they go into the promise land.

It will go well with them and us when we don't repeat past sin and when we choose to honor God in our future. ★ Support this podcast ★

Ep 295Romans 15 Unifying the Church in doctrine.
The struggle in Paul’s day was how the Jews and Gentiles could be one in Jesus. Some people had views about honoring the Law as a Jew and there was division about that. Today we should seek to lay aside denominational and doctrinal issues by focusing on the Word of God. Many learn doctrine from denomination that is slanted and can create division. It is through observing the whole counsel of God’s Word that we can be more one which was Paul and Jesus’ desire. See John 17. ★ Support this podcast ★
Ep 294Romans 14 Discerning between freedom and Holy Spirit conviction.

Ep 291Romans 11 The kindness and severity of God.
Romans 11 is a beautiful passage illustrating that God has allowed Gentiles to come into his family by faith and God is also not done with the Jews and desires them to come to him by faith.Jews who are in unbelief toward Jesus are currently cut off from his family and Paul uses that illustration to warn us to not fall into unbelief. God is not a one sided coin. If you read the whole counsel you will come to realize God’s kindness is lavish and his severity is also very real. I believe like a good father who loves well and also disciplines that God’s severity is there to give us reverence and fear that is healthy for us in following him. ★ Support this podcast ★

In Numbers 30 we see that we are to honor our vows, however a male father or husband could annul a rash vow made by a woman. Why was man given that role? What did Jesus say about making vows?
