Podcasts about commands

The 10 Commandments E12 — The common summary of the 9th Commandment is “Do not lie,” a generic prohibition against all kinds of fibs. But the commandment actually reads “Do not bear false witness,” drawing attention to a very specific kind of lying in a communal, legal setting. Many of the other commandments are more general. So why does the 9th Commandment zoom in on truth telling in public, legal settings? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the 9th Commandment, discovering its underlying value of upholding truth and justice in defense of the most vulnerable in society.

In this episode we're going to explore three very different thinkers who nonetheless converge on their theories of language. We're going to see if we can't extract an intelligible whole out of the ideas generated by this trio: the Nietzschean theory of language as command, the view of Cassirer that man is a symbolic animal, and Wittgenstein's concept of the language-game.

Episode 233The Lord Jesus Christ is the head of the church. He died and rose again to redeem her, and He prayed for her even while He was yet on this earth. The body of Christ is a disparate collection of sinners saved by the grace of God through faith. As members of the same body, scripture clearly calls us to do things for one another. Do you know what those things are? Join us on this episode as we go through all the verses we could find that teach how we are to engage with one another. We call these "the one-anothers," and through them, the body is nourished and made strong, and the unity and love evident throughout becomes a testimony that the world can't understand or deny.Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here:Spotify:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeI⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Apple Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Edifi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Meec7nsv⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/mga8A77⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podnews: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See all our platforms: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact us:Email us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Financially support the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/donate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Affiliates:Book Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Christian Books . com: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/home?event=AFF&p=1236574⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fastmail: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://join.fastmail.com/8e23c12b⁠⁠⁠⁠See all our affiliates: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/affiliates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Notes:The One-another Commands in Scripture: https://removingbarriers.net/the-one-another-commands-in-scripture/

This week Dr. Gregg Mays opens his Bible to John 14:21 to teach us about the importance of having our love be followed by obedience to God. If you want to live a right life for Christ, you must love others.

Christian unity isn't just about getting along with others – it's walking in God's Truth together, empowered by the Holy Spirit. We can live in peace in God's church when we each give… The post Closing Commands appeared first on Calvary Chapel At The Cross.

Hey Dog Lover!

What does it truly mean to love others as Christ has loved us, and how far are we willing to go to live that out? We are reminded through the life of Mary Slessor that the call to “do unto others” is a call to sacrificial love—one that moves us beyond our comfort into compassionate action for others. From a life marked by hardship, she was transformed by Christ and sent to bring His light into deep darkness, rescuing the vulnerable, living among those she served, and giving herself wholly for their good. In her surrender, we see that such love is not possible in our own strength, but through dependence on God who leads and empowers us. Therefore, we commit ourselves to follow where He leads, to serve selflessly, and to reflect His heart to others—trusting Him with the results, and seeking to make our lives a melody of His grace in both the light and the dark places.

What does it truly mean to ask, seek, and knock? Does God still answers prayer today? How does a life devoted to prayer shape not only our hearts, but the world around us? We are reminded through the life of E.M. Bounds that prayer is not merely a duty, but a powerful communion with God through which He accomplishes His purposes. In trials, hardship, and ministry, E.M. Bounds continually turned to the Lord, showing us that persistence in prayer—fervent, believing, and unceasing—invites the moving of God, even bringing revival in the most barren places. As we see that God works not through methods but through yielded lives, we are called to become people of prayer, seeking Him early, earnestly, and continually. Join us as Gabe helps us understand the life and impact of E.M. Bounds. 

We all have a bit of a "control freak" inside us. When God feels distant or "up there," we often grab the steering wheel of our lives, convinced we know best. But God's heart has always been to move closer. From the smoke and thunder of Mount Sinai to the Tabernacle in the center of the camp, God has been making a way to be with His people. Come discover how surrendering our need for control opens the door to experiencing the presence of the God.

Christianity is not a moral code; it is about a relationship with Christ.

What does it mean to carry the gospel with both boldness and discernment? How can a life fully surrendered to Christ be used to reach even the hardest places and hearts? We are reminded through the life of Brother Andrew that obedience to Christ is not merely about zeal, but about walking in step with the Holy Spirit—sharing the precious Word with wisdom, timing, and love. From a life once bound in sin to one wholly yielded, we see that God delights to use those who depend on Him daily, whether in quiet moments of restraint or courageous acts of faith. As he carried the “pearl” of Scripture to those who longed for it, trusting God to open doors and blind opposing eyes, we are stirred to treasure that same Word and to share it faithfully. Therefore, we commit ourselves to live in daily obedience, seeking the Spirit's leading in every interaction, and trusting that as we follow Christ, He will guide us to bring His truth to a world in need—boldly, wisely, and for His glory. Join Gabe as he shares the exciting story of Brother Andrew.

Do we respond to hardship with bitterness or with faith? George Washington Carver's life shows us that when we seek the Creator for wisdom, He guides both our character and our calling. Born into slavery, Carver chose love over resentment, asking “the God who made the peanut” to reveal its purpose and using his discoveries to bless a broken South. In him we see that when we are born again (John 3:3), our work becomes worship and our lives become channels of healing grace.

The 10 Commandments E5 — In the ancient world, gods (or elohim in Hebrew) were associated with transcendent forces of nature, and humans created statues (mostly of animals) to represent these forces, known as idols. But in Exodus 20:4-6, Yahweh forbids Israel from making idols of himself or any other spiritual being. Why? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the 2nd Commandment to discover how idols diminish the identity of both God and humans.

What does it look like to seek God's kingdom first when the cost is real? Can we trust Christ with everything we love most? In John and Betty Stam, we see hearts wholly surrendered to Jesus, letting go of “little trinkets” for God's treasures, learning to depend on Him for daily needs, and choosing obedience over comfort. Sent to China, they loved even their enemies, faced captivity with peace, and confessed, “May God be glorified whether by life or by death.” Beheaded in 1934, they still bore witness that to die is gain (Phil. 1:21), and their sacrifice became a seed that stirred many to missions and reminded us that the Great Commission was never meant to be easy, only worth it in Christ.

In this episode, Nancy Wilson tackles the challenge of disciplining young children, arguing that effective discipline begins with disciplining ourselves—simplifying rules, reducing the constant stream of commands, and enforcing only what truly matters so children can clearly understand and obey.

In this April 17th episode, JB White dives deep into the foundations of geopolitical power, emphasizing the importance of U.S. military combatant commands as the starting point for real understanding. He critiques narrative-driven analysis and argues that Trump's strategy combines military and economic leverage into a coordinated global approach. JB highlights Saudi Arabia's trillion-dollar investment alignment with the U.S., the role of regional partnerships, and the broader restructuring of global power dynamics. Along the way, he reflects on media influence, internal disagreements, and the dangers of misreading strategy in a rapidly changing world.

Jase turns a frustrating local government failure into a hands-on mission, sparking a neighborhood lesson on what it really means to love your neighbor. Zach brings in a wild real-life dilemma with black bears overrunning his neighborhood, forcing the guys to wrestle with authority, personal rights, and the limits of control. The guys pivot into a powerful breakdown of the tension between obeying God's commands and truly loving Him; where obedience flows naturally—not out of pressure, but out of transformation.  In this episode: 1 John 5, verses 2–5; Matthew 5, verse 17; Romans 7, verses 7–25; Romans 8, verses 5–9; Romans 12, verses 1–2; John 10; Hebrews 5; Genesis 2–3; Galatians 5, verses 22–23 “Unashamed” Episode 1313 is sponsored by: https://trustandwill.com/unashamed — Get 20% off and protect your legacy today! https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al lost 80+ pounds.

Waiting is not easy, but waiting, we must. Pastor Bankie teaches that God is most focused on changing us into the person we are meant to be, not only on answers to prayer. He says waiting tunes our ears to the right voice, and it is never idleness—stay joyful, keep studying the scriptures, and consecrate your ears to the Holy Spirit.

What if the real mission field isn't inside the church, but in the everyday workplaces of your people? Todd unpacks how “marketplace ministry” empowers believers to live on mission right where they are, while reminding leaders that true discipleship means teaching people to obey the commands of Christ—not just hear them.

What does it look like to say “no” to self and “yes” to Jesus in real life? In William Borden's short, bright life we see Christ's call to lay up treasures in heaven: though wealthy, admired, and full of opportunity, he chose surrender, loved the overlooked, poured himself into gospel work, and gave generously for missions. Setting his heart on reaching the unreached, he left comfort for Egypt to prepare for ministry to Muslims in China. Though he died at the age of 25 his legacy still preaches that a life yielded to Christ is never wasted.   

If we would enter eternal rest, we must love the Lord and walk in His ways.

The 10 Commandments E3 — What's the purpose of God's commands early in the biblical story? Following the Eden story in Genesis, a pattern develops of God issuing commands that preserve life and release blessing. But the challenge is that often the commands first look like death before they're revealed to be a pathway to life. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore commands given to Noah and Abraham, discovering the good that comes when humans trust and obey God's words.

In Oswald Chambers we see a life of unconditional surrender—saved under Spurgeon's preaching, yielded beyond his own plans, and shaped by long, hidden hours with God that fueled his public usefulness. Whether giving freely, fasting against the body's demands, or crawling into a lifeboat on a crowded wartime ship just to pray uninterrupted, he practiced the quiet disciplines that Christ rewards. Serving soldiers in Egypt, he spent himself for others even to the end, and through “Biddy's” faithful recording of his words, God has continued to call generations to “my utmost for His highest”—a reminder that the depth of our private communion with Jesus shapes the breadth of our witness in the world.

The 10 Commandments E2 — Why does God give commands and why is it so hard for humans to follow them? Before digging into the 10 Commandments line by line, we'll first trace the theme of God's commands in the Genesis scroll. The first two times God issues commands are on pages one and two of the Bible. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the blessing to “be fruitful and multiply,” as well as the “do not eat from the tree” command in Genesis 1 and 2, highlighting humanity's folly and foundational need for God's guidance.

How does God use sorrow and loss to mature our faith? Can we trust Him day by day when His purposes are hidden in pain? We reflect on the life of Karolina Sandell-Berg as a living expression of Jesus' call in Matthew 5:48 to grow into spiritual maturity. Through frailty, suffering, and the sudden loss of her beloved father, Karolina turned to Christ rather than away from Him, allowing trials to deepen her trust in God's wise and loving care. From bitter waters, God brought sweet songs—most notably Day by Day—reminding us that the Lord uses hardship to perfect our faith, shaping us through suffering to rest in His promises until we stand with Christ at last.

Are God's commands restrictive? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper expounds Luke 11:46 and shows how faith learns to trust God's way to happiness.
