Celebrating someone else’s failure can reveal a deeper struggle with envy, comparison, and misplaced gratitude. Rooted in 1 Samuel 18:9, this devotional confronts the subtle sin of rejoicing in others’ misfortune and invites us to trade jealousy for gratitude, humility, and trust in God’s provision. Highlights Envy can quietly turn another person’s hardship into our momentary emotional relief. Comparison tempts us to feel better about ourselves when others fall. Scripture shows envy is not a minor issue—Saul’s jealousy toward David led to spiritual and emotional destruction. Envy says to God, “What You gave me isn’t enough.” Coveting blinds us to the blessings God has already placed in our own lives. Gratitude breaks the cycle of jealousy and restores spiritual clarity. Healing begins when we honestly acknowledge envy and invite God to reshape our hearts. Do you want to listen ad-free?

By Kelly Balarie Bible Reading: “And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?” And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.” – 1 Samuel 18:9 NIV I am happy this happened to her. For a split second, my friend's misfortune was my utter joy. As if I was watching her situation unfold on a big screen, I couldn't help but lean in, rub my hands together, and rejoice in her big cash outlay. Oh yes, I am not the only one who must pay an unexpected bill...! Shortly thereafter, I felt bad. I love this woman. “What is wrong with me?" I thought. Of course, I'd never admit this sinful thought to another soul. These sorts of things you keep to yourself. I knew better. I knew better to admit my deep satisfaction found in my friend's horrible misfortune. I knew better than to tell anyone how her bad made me feel good for a moment. I don't think I am alone either. None of us would admit it, because we know better, but I’d venture to say that this is why tabloids are so loved! When the high and mighty fall, for a moment we feel lifted. We think, "At least my life is not as bad as hers." Looking at the tabloids in the grocery aisle, we think, at least I’m not as bad as this celebrity who is now busted as a drug addict or a 5-time cheater.At least I’m not her. Tabloids are the outlet to the joyful slander of envy, just as much as my friend's misfortune was the release for mine. I wanted what she had, but I didn’t have it, so I coveted her life, her goods, and her income. Envy makes slander easy. Envy easily cuts someone else down to be emotionally built up. I’m not proud of it, but today, in humility, I admit it. While no one ever admits this truth, I know I am not alone. It’s as old as Bible times. Think: Cain and Abel, Joseph and His brothers, Saul and David. Saul envied David, saying, “And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?” And from that day forward, Saul kept a jealous eye on David. (1 Sam. 18:9 NIV) How did God handle envy, in Saul’s case? “The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul…” (1 Sam. 18:10 NIV) God did not take envy lightly, and He doesn’t today either. When we envy another person, we say to God, “What you gave me is not enough; I hate my portion you gave me; I want their bounty.” Rather than walking with an attitude of gratitude, we count another’s blessings and miss our own. We see another’s lot and miss our own flowers. We look at another’s increase and think it spells out our demise. We lose our minds with envy, coveting, and jealousy. I suppose this is why a great command in the bible is, “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” (Deut. 5:21) Is there grace? Absolutely. Is there a fresh start for those like me, who aren’t even thinking while critiquing and judging others from a root of bitterness called envy? You bet. But is there a sobriety and a reality check involved with this sin? Yes. We cannot give God glory for things that we don’t acknowledge. We can’t see God’s best way when we are looking at someone else’s way and sizing it up. We can’t effectively say thank you when we feel hate-filled. Intersecting Faith & Life: Have you ever tried to drive at high speeds ahead by looking back for long periods of time? Likely no. When we look back for prolonged periods, we are going backwards. The same goes when we compare what we have to what others have. What can you give thanks for in your life today? What has God done for you? How does true gratitude make you feel?

Sunday, Jan 4, 2026Greg JacksonExodus 23:20, 24; Deut 1:29-33
Today's 4th chapter of Matthew contains the account of Jesus being tempted after being “led up by the Spirit into the wilderness” (ch. 4 v.1) This opening verse arrests the attention of diligent readers. It seems astonishing that God's Spirit brought about Christ's temptations.Jesus, now that “the Spirit of God” had come “to rest on him” [3 v.16] is first tempted to use that power to create “bread” [v.3] as there is no food in the wilderness to which the Spirit has led him, and 40 days had elapsed. He showed his power to create food later when he fed the 5,000; to feed himself would have been easy.The primary lesson that jumps into our thinking as we read the 3 different types of temptation is how Jesus quotes (in each case, in rejecting temptation) words which God caused Moses to write and which we find in his book called Deuteronomy. The temptations each have a sense of unreality about them, there is for example, no “very high mountain” from which a tempter could have “showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory” [v.8]They are examples of the 3 basic types of temptation which we read of a couple of weeks ago in 1 John 3 v.16 “For all that is in the world – the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of possessions – is not from the Father but is from the world.”How did Matthew in writing his gospel get the information about Christ's temptations? Jesus has not yet started to call any disciples to him; not until Ch. 9 v.9 is their reference to Matthew being called. As we think on this we realize the disciples could only have known about his temptations through Jesus telling them! And how did Jesus teach? Much of the time he taught by parables – and these were often not of literal events.So we conclude Jesus told of his temptations in the form of a parable, the primary aim being to show he too suffered temptation (see Heb, 4 v.15) and, even more, how temptations are overcome – that is the power of the narrative we read today. His mind was full of what God had caused to be written for human instruction.We especially noted his quotation to “the tempter” from Deut. 8 v.3, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”And that is the fundamental way in which we push fleshly temptations to one side. Is that not a primary reason why we read portions of God's word every day? How much of God's word comes to the surface in our thinking – when the need arises? It should do!
In this episode, Pastor Cindy gave a message of hope for the new year. She talked about three words that God gave her for this year. CREATE, BUILD and ADVANCE. She encouraged us to: - CREATE a Mindset that aligns with the Word of God - BUILD on the Promises of God. His word is our Promise of Hope and a Future - ADVANCE the Kingdom of God through everything we do. The enemy will not be stopping his attempt at slowing down the advancement but God has already won the war and we WILL be victorious in carrying out his plan and vision for our lives and our families.

An episode from Seneca Bible Baptist Church, a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Seneca Falls, New York. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical historical meaning. The King James Version of the Bible shall be the official and only translation used by the church (2 Tim. 3:16-17). We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each coeternal in being, co-identical in nature, coequal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deut. 6:4). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men (Phil. 2:58). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through his death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (1 Peter 1:35). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:910). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins 1 Pet. 1:1819).

6:1-13 Job gives a defense of HimselfSeveral writers on Job say that the various speakers say little about the previous speech or speakers. A strong point of Habel's commentary is that he points out connections between the various speakers. First, there are several vocabulary connections between Eliphaz in Job 4-5 and Job's speech in Job 6. The word ‘anguish' in 6:2 is the same word translated ‘anger' in 5:2. The word ‘hope' in 6:8 was used by Eliphaz in 4:6; 5:16. The word ‘crush' in 6:9 was used in 4:19; 5:4. ‘Fear' in 6:14, 21 is from the same root at 4:6. The word ‘perish' in 4:7, 9,11, 20 is used by Job in 6:18. Second, it may be that 6:1-7 is a specific response to Eliphaz in 5:1-7 where he spoke of the foolish man and Job's words in 6:8-13 are a response to 4:2-6 that Eliphaz uttered about Job's hope.6:14-23 Job expresses his disappointment with his friends.The friend's behavior was exemplary in Job 2:11-13. They came from distances, they wept over Job's condition, and they sat with him in silence. Now, Job feels betrayed by them. 6:14 For the despairing man there should be kindness from his friend- There are three words in the Hebrew text that lead to the translation here. The word kindness is the word hesed. The word usually describes God's love for man and loyalty to His people (Deut. 7:9; Neh. 1:5; Ps. 25:10). It also describes man's love for one another (I Sam. 18:1; 20:14-16; Prov. 17:17; 18:24; Hos. 4:1) and in a couple of cases man's love for God (Jer. 2:2). He speaks of his relationship with these three as being a relationship among friends and one in which he could expect lovingkindness. So that he does not forsake the fear of the Almighty- Job uses the term Shaddai as Eliphaz did in Job 5:17. This verse is translated differently in various versions. The NIV has the that the man's friends should stick by him even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty. The NAB and NEB have similar translations. This translation line up with Biblical teaching (Deut. 13:6-11; I Sam. 2:29; Matt. 10:34-37). While the idea of the NIV does not fit Bible teaching does not necessarily mean that Job did not say it. Remember he too said some things that he should not say. However, it does make up think about other possibilities. Other translations have the idea that man should be encouraged that he might not forsake the fear of God (NASB). Some translations convey the idea that the friend who withholds encouragement forsakes the fear of God (ESV, RSV, JB). I John 4:7-8. Eliphaz wants to know why Job's fear of God does not sustain him in his trial in Job 4:6. Job here wants to know why Eliphaz, and his friends do not encourage him more because of their fear of God.

Deut. 11:18–23 Isa. 51:4–8 Luke 17:5–10 Gal. 5:1–6 Sanctification is the glorious teaching that God Himself works powerfully within us to make us more like Christ. Do we do good works? Of course. And it God who works within us, causing the very same faith that received Christ in the first place to being "working in love" (Gal. 5:6).
In this episode, we do a deep dive on Acts 3:19-21, one of the most ignored texts when it comes to NT eschatology. In Acts 3:19-21, Peter specifically notes that his view of eschatological matters is the one spoken of by the Old Testament prophets, and his timeline is not difficult to understand... it just might be problematic for some people's eschatological views.Time Stamps00:00 Introduction02:38 Context of Acts 3:19-2107:19 In-depth Analysis of Acts 3:19-2139:36 Comparison of OT Prophets51:45 Jewish Kingdom Expectations58:55 Putting Acts 3 within Luke-Acts1:04:41 Summary and ConclusionReferences Made in the Episode:"A Significant Chronological Problem for Postmillennialism in Acts 3:21" - https://petergoeman.com/a-significant-chronological-problem-for-postmillennialism-in-acts-321/“Implications of the Kingdom in Acts 3:19-21.” The Master's Seminary Journal 26, no. 1 (Spring 2015): 75–93. - https://petergoeman.com/papers/implications_of_kingdom_goeman.pdfWhy Most Translations are Wrong on Deut 4:29 and Why It Matters - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9s4wqeZ3FoIf you have found the podcast helpful, consider leaving a review on Itunes or rating it on Spotify.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA IV TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMIÉRCOLES 24 DE DICIEMBRELOS PELIGROS DE LA IDOLATRÍA Lee Josué 24:22-24. ¿Por qué fue necesario que Josué repitiera su llamamiento a los israelitas para que se deshicieran de sus ídolos? El peligro de la idolatría no era teórico. Moisés había pedido antes la misma decisión en las llanuras de Moab y en un contexto similar (Deut. 30:19, 20). Los dioses que estaban ahora en el punto de mira no eran los de Egipto ni los de más allá del río, sino que se encontraban “entre ellos”. Por eso, Josué rogó a su pueblo que inclinara su corazón hacia el Señor. El término hebreo traducido aquí como “inclinar” es natah, que describe en otros textos a un Dios que se inclina y escucha las oraciones (2 Rey. 19:16; Sal. 31:2, 3; Dan. 9:18), y es también la actitud que los profetas exigieron posteriormente a Israel (Isa. 55:3; Jer. 7:24). A ese verbo también se lo emplea para indicar la apostasía de Salomón, cuando su corazón se inclinó hacia “otros dioses” (1 Rey. 11:2, 4, 9). El pecaminoso corazón humano no tiene la tendencia natural a inclinarse ante Dios y escuchar su voz. Se necesitan decisiones conscientes de nuestra parte para inclinarlo hacia el cumplimiento de la voluntad divina. La respuesta de los israelitas fue, literalmente, “Escucharemos su voz”. Esta expresión enfatiza el aspecto relacional de la obediencia. No se pedía a Israel que siguiera rutinariamente un conjunto de reglas. El pacto consistía en una relación viva con el Señor, una que no podía expresarse plenamente mediante meros reglamentos. La religión de Israel nunca tuvo el propósito de ser legalista, sino un diálogo constante de fe y amor con un Salvador santo y misericordioso. Incluso después de la triple promesa del pueblo de servir al Señor, lo cual implicaba, como ordenó Josué, la eliminación de los dioses de entre ellos, no hay ningún informe de que eso ocurriera realmente. A lo largo de todo el libro, se informa al lector acerca del cumplimiento de los mandatos de Josué (o de Moisés) como ejemplo de obediencia. La ausencia de ello en la conclusión del libro representa un final abierto. El llamamiento central del libro a servir al Señor no era solo para la generación de Josué, sino también para cada nueva generación del pueblo de Dios que lea o escuche ese mensaje. ¿Cuántas veces prometiste al Señor que harías algo, pero luego no lo hiciste? ¿Por qué no cumpliste tu promesa? ¿Qué te dice tu respuesta acerca de la gracia?
Color: Blue Old Testament: Deuteronomy 18:15–19 Psalm: Psalm 111; antiphon: v. 9 Epistle: Philippians 4:4–7 Gospel: John 1:19–28 Gospel: Luke 1:39–56 Introit: Psalm 19:1, 4–6; antiphon: Isaiah 45:8a Gradual: Psalm 145:18, 21 Verse: Psalm 40:17b John the Baptizer Points Everyone to the Messiah The coming of God in all His unveiled power at Mount Sinai was terrifying to the people of Israel. The thundering voice of the Lord puts sinners in fear of death (Deut. 18:15–19). God, therefore, raised up a prophet like Moses—the Messiah, the Christ. God came to His people veiled in human flesh. The skies poured down the Righteous One from heaven; the earth opened her womb and brought forth Salvation (Introit) through the blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of the Lord (Luke 1:39–56). The fruit of her womb is the very Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, the One whose sandal strap John was not worthy to loose (John 1:19–28). In Jesus we are delivered from fear and anxiety. In Him alone we have the peace of God which surpasses all understanding (Phil. 4:4–7). Lectionary summary © 2021 The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

You're a Spirit being living in a world of the unseen. Jesus lives in you, and the Spirit can fill you completely—so fear changes, and what you fear today can disappear as you walk with God, whose life is eternal. Healing and love reside inside you; seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him (Jer 29:13; Deut 6:5). The more you walk in the Spirit, the more the spiritual realm becomes real. You are being transformed into His image (2 Cor 3:18), entrusted with the ministry of glory by mercy.The Spirit Realm Is Your Real World | Prophet Ezekiah FrancisWatch in English https://youtube.com/live/o9MgOVdjBxsWatch in Tamil (தமிழ்) https://youtube.com/live/PrEv8OxppAgWatch in Hindi (हिंदी) https://youtube.com/live/5NNPd8FhDHMWatch in Telugu (తెలుగు) https://youtube.com/live/CHWCdAqZfxwWatch in Malayalam (മലയാളം) https://youtube.com/live/lH3LCuArZpkWatch in Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ) https://youtube.com/live/8Rp9UmXT4TY

En otros pasajes, la palabra bajar, traducida como “elegir”, describe la elección de Israel por parte de Dios (Deut. 7:6, 7; 10:15; 14:2). Israel era libre de decir “no” al Señor tras haber sido elegido divinamente, pero eso no tendría sentido y sería absurdo. Israel podía decir “sí” a Dios y seguir viviendo o darle la espalda y dejar de existir como pueblo elegido. ¿Cuál fue la respuesta de Israel al llamamiento de Josué? (Jos. 24:16-18). ¿Por qué reaccionó Josué de esa manera? (Jos. 24:19-21) En su respuesta categóricamente positiva, los israelitas reconocieron que el Dios de los patriarcas y de sus padres era ahora también “nuestro Dios” (Jos. 24:17, 18), a quien estaban dispuestos a servir con lealtad indivisa. Después de una afirmación tan incuestionable acerca de su lealtad, esperaríamos palabras de afirmación y aliento por parte de Josué. Sin embargo, no fue así. El diálogo entre Josué y el pueblo dio un giro drástico en el que Josué parecía desempeñar el papel de abogado del diablo, ya que pasó de hablar de la bondadosa providencia del Señor en el pasado a amenazar a los israelitas con la imagen de un Dios al que no era fácil servir. Josué conocía la inestabilidad de la primera generación, que prometió obedecer a Dios en términos similares (Éxo. 19:8; 24:3; Deut. 5:27), pero que olvidó sus promesas mientras las palabras estaban aún en sus labios (Éxo. 32). Por lo tanto, utilizó la retórica para hacer conscientes a los israelitas de varias cosas. En primer lugar, la decisión de servir a Dios era algo solemne que debía moldear a toda la nación de acuerdo con la revelación divina. Las bendiciones resultantes de perseguir ese objetivo eran evidentes, pero también debían comprenderse plenamente las consecuencias de la desobediencia. El perdón de los pecados no es un derecho inalienable de la humanidad, sino un milagro de la gracia de Dios. En segundo lugar, la decisión de los israelitas de servir a Dios debía ser su propia decisión, no algo impuesto por un líder, ni siquiera por Josué. En tercer lugar, Israel debía darse cuenta de que los seres humanos no pueden servir a Dios mediante sus propias fuerzas. El servicio a Dios no era algo que lograrían por medio de una adhesión mecánica a las estipulaciones del pacto, sino mediante una relación personal con el Señor como su salvador (comparar con Éxo. 20:1, 2 y Deut. 5:6, 7).

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA IV TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES 22 DE DICIEMBRECON INTEGRIDAD Y EN VERDAD ¿Qué llamado hizo Josué a los israelitas? (Jos. 24:14, 15). ¿Qué significa servir al Señor con sinceridad y en verdad? El llamamiento hecho por Josué expresaba claramente el hecho de que Israel debía decidir si conservaría su singularidad y habitaría en la tierra en virtud de su lealtad a su Creador, o si volvería a ser uno de tantos pueblos idólatras, sin una identidad, un propósito o una misión claros. La decisión era suya. El llamamiento de Josué era doble: Israel debía reverenciar al Señor y servirlo “con sinceridad y en verdad”. Reverenciar al Señor significa manifestar un respeto profundo que surge del reconocimiento de la insondable grandeza, santidad e infinitud de Dios, por un lado, y de nuestra pequeñez, pecaminosidad y finitud, por otro. Reverenciar a Dios significa ser constantemente consciente de la magnitud de sus exigencias y reconocer que él no es solo nuestro Padre celestial, sino también nuestro Rey divino. Una percepción tal nos conducirá a una vida de obediencia a Dios (Lev. 19:14; 25:17; Deut. 17:19; 2 Rey. 17:34). Mientras que la reverencia o respeto describe la actitud interior que debía caracterizar a un israelita, el resultado práctico de la reverencia para con Dios era el servicio dedicado a él. El servicio que se exigía a Israel es caracterizado por dos términos hebreos traducidos como “en sinceridad” y “en verdad”. El primero de ellos (tamim) se utiliza sobre todo como adjetivo para describir la perfección de un animal destinado al sacrificio. El segundo describe el servicio que se esperaba de Israel como “verdadero” o “fiel” (heb. ‘emet). El término generalmente connota constancia y estabilidad. Suele referirse a Dios, quien se caracteriza por su fidelidad, con Israel en el pasado. Una persona fiel es alguien de quien se puede depender y en quien se puede confiar. Básicamente, Josué estaba pidiendo a Israel que demostrara la misma lealtad a Dios que Dios había mostrado hacia su pueblo a lo largo de su historia. No se trataba de un mero cumplimiento externo de las exigencias divinas, sino de algo que debía brotar de un interior indiviso y coherente. Sus vidas debían reflejar gratitud a Dios por lo que había hecho por ellos. Básicamente, así es como debemos relacionarnos también hoy con Jesús. ¿Qué significa para ti servir al Señor “con sinceridad” y “en verdad”? ¿Qué te está impidiendo tener una devoción plena hacia Dios?

Old Testament scholar Dr. John Whitcomb teaches us about "Christmas in the Pentateuch" here on "Encounter God's Truth," taking us to passages such as the following: Gen. 3:15; 12:3; 22:18; 49:10; Num. 24:17-19; Deut. 18:15-22; Ezek. 21:27; and John 1:9-12. Our teacher will show us that the setting for Christmas goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, when God first promised a Savior. We trust that this unique lesson will help you think Biblically about the prophetic significance of Christ's birth and ministry now as the Christmas season unfolds. Host Wayne Shepherd then inquires of Dr. Whitcomb as to the fulfillment of these Old Testament prophecies of Christ's coming from John chapter one. As you celebrate our Lord's incarnation this year, remember that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end. Merry Christmas!
5:17 Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves- Ps. 94:12; Prov. 3:11-12; 23:12, 23; Heb. 12:5-11; Rev. 3:19. How happy in 5:17 is the word translated blessed in Ps. 1:1. 5:18 For He inflicts pain, and gives relief- Deut. 32:39; I Sam. 2:6; Isa.19:22; 30:26; Hos. 6:1. Job 1:21; 2:10 Each of the speakers understood the sovereignty of God in the affairs of the world. He wounds, and His hands also heal- The friends never resort to Satan as the answer for human suffering. 5:19 From six troubles He will deliver you- The closest way to parallel a number is to give the next highest number. Even in seven evil will not touch you- Ps. 91:10. This is a passage like Job 2:10 where the evil refers not to sin but to calamity. 5:20 In famine He will redeem you from death- Ps. 34:23; 49:8,16; 55:19; 69:19; 71:23; 119:134. The word redeem in Psalm 49:7, 7, 15. Ps. 49:15 and Ps. 103:4 speak of God redeeming the life, or soul, of the Psalmist from Sheol, the pit, or the grave. 5:21 You will hidden from the scourge of the tongue- For the tongue as a weapon- Ps. 52:2,4; 64:3. Vicious words can destroy the one they are spoken against, and undo the one who speaks them as well (Prov. 10:8, 14; 13:3; 18:7).Neither will you be afraid of violence when it comes- Ps. 91:5-6. God can protect His servants even in the midst of a severe judgment (II Peter 2:4-9). 5:22 You will laugh at famine and violence- The verb laugh is used in Ps. 2:4; 37:13; 59:8 to speak of God's reaction to the wrongdoer.Neither will you be afraid of the wild beasts- Lev. 26:4-5; Ps. 91:13; Ezek. 34:25; Hos. 2:18-20 5:23 For you will be in league with the stones of the field- Isa. 5:2; II Sam. 3:19-25 stones present difficulties for an otherwise fruitful field or vineyard. 5:24 You will know that your tent is secure- contrast this with 4:21. Compare this with 21:7. The word secure is actually the word peace which is used as a verb in 5:23.For you will visit your abode and fear no loss- Job lost his wealth in 1:13-17. Job will say that it is the children of the wicked that are safe and secure in Job 21:8-10.The word generally translated sin is used at the end of vs. 24. Sin is the idea of missing the mark (Judges 20:16) and the proper idea behind it is experiencing loss. 5:25 You will know also that your descendants will be many- These two lines are in stark contrast to 5:4-5. They are also contrary to Job's experiences as Job lost his children in 1:18-19. And your offspring as the grass of the earth- Isa. 53:10; Job 42:16; Ps. 37:16. This will ultimately be true of Job (42:13-15). 5:26 You will come to the grave in full vigor- Premature death is considered a great disaster (Job 22:16). Are the statements of Job 5:17-27 promising too much? Notice how many things said in Job 5:17-27 sound like Psalm 91 and other PsalmsJob 5:19 God will deliver him from all troubles; Ps. 34:19 Many are afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them allJob 5:19 evil will not touch you; Ps. 91:10 No evil will befall youJob 5:22, 23 not be afraid of wild beasts, beasts of field at peace; Ps. 91:13 tread upon lion, cobra, young lion, serpentJob 5:24 your tent is secure/ Ps. 91:10 no plague near your tentJob 5:26 long life Ps. 91:16
====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA IV TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchJUEVES 18 DE DICIEMBREAFÉRRATE A DIOS La única forma en que Israel podía evitar la tentación de la idolatría y la ira de Dios no era recordando constantemente lo que el pacto estipulaba que no debía hacer, sino fomentando una lealtad consciente y constante al Señor. El mismo verbo traducido como “fueron fieles” al Señor (ver Deut. 4:4), se utiliza también para describir el pacto matrimonial que se pretendía que existiera entre los cónyuges (Gén. 2:24) o la lealtad de Rut a Noemí (Rut 1:14). Es importante señalar que, según la evaluación de Josué, tal fidelidad había caracterizado a Israel como nación “hasta el día de hoy”. Lamentablemente, la misma afirmación no sería aplicable a períodos posteriores de la historia de Israel, como tristemente demuestra el libro de Jueces (Jue. 2:2, 7, 11; 3:7, 12; 4:1, etc.). Josué exhorta a Israel a amar al Señor, su Dios (Jos. 23:11; comparar con Deut. 6:5). El amor no puede forzarse; si así fuera, dejaría de ser lo que esencialmente es. Ahora bien, ¿en qué sentido es posible requerir el amor de alguien? Para que Israel pudiera disfrutar continuamente de las bendiciones del pacto, debía permanecer fiel a Dios. El texto hebreo de Josué 23:11 es extremadamente enfático: “Tengan sumo cuidado, por la vida de ustedes, de amar al Señor su Dios” (NBLA). La palabra ‘‘ahabah, “amor”, puede referirse a una amplia gama de afectos humanos, como el apego amistoso, la intimidad sexual, la ternura maternal, el amor romántico y la lealtad a Dios. Si entendemos el amor a Dios como un compromiso consciente y como devoción a él, es posible exigirlo sin violar su verdadera esencia (comparar con Juan 13:34). Dios siempre quiso que la obediencia a sus mandamientos surgiera natural y espontáneamente de una relación personal con él (Éxo. 19:4 [“los he traído a mí”]; Deut. 6:5, comparar con Mat. 22:37), basada en lo que él hizo por su pueblo como demostración de su gran misericordia y amor. El mandamiento de amar a Dios también expresa la naturaleza mutua, pero no simétrica, del amor divino. Dios desea entrar en una relación íntima y personal con cada persona que corresponda a su amor. En consecuencia, suamor para con todos constituye el marco para la manifestación de nuestro amor voluntario y mutuo. Jesús dio un mandamiento nuevo a sus discípulos. ¿En qué sentido era este mandamiento nuevo y antiguo al mismo tiempo? Lee Juan 13:34; 15:17; 1 Juan 3:11; comparar con Lev. 19:18.
A public library in Caleb and Stephen's area has been providing pornographic content to children. What is happening, why, and what should be done about it?Caleb and Stephen's Letter to the Sioux Center Public Library:To the Sioux Center Public Library, together with its director, board, staff, and all else who pertains:May the Lord convict you to read this letter in its entirety. Do not shrink from its words. Be discomforted, but receive the admonishment in humility. Remove Icebreaker, Identical, and every other wicked, ungodly, and perverse “literature” which you make available for public distribution. To be clear: not only should children be protected from depraved content, but also adults.Repent and do what is right — not from fear of man, not out of a duty to the community, but in the sight of God — that you may be forgiven. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us” (1 Jn. 18-10). As will be explained further below, this is no matter of simply saying something to the effect of, “We don't personally like the book, but it's hard to decide what should or shouldn't be stocked,” or to “let the parents decide.”First, a brief note on the First Amendment and libraries. We would like to draw your attention to this week's conclusion of Little v. Llano County, in which the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal against the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold the county's removal of 17 books from their public libraries. Specifically, they had ruled that there is no inherent right protected under the First Amendment for someone to receive information via taxpayer-funded books from a public library. This decision now applies to the states of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. If this is the case elsewhere, can—even, ought it not be applied here? Your board has been quoted as stating its “commitment” to “protect access to information.” Should the reception of any and all information or content be protected? There is no true necessity in providing erotica to anyone. Indeed, as your director has said, “Our mission is to inspire lifelong learning, advance knowledge and strengthen our community.” How does pornographic, erotic literature inspire learning and advance knowledge? And — given the backlash you have thus far received — how does this strengthen the community?Second, your opinions on the first amendment, the Iowa constitution, and ALA policies aside: We call upon you to realize you are accountable to a Higher Authority (Acts 5:29; Westminster Larger Catechism QA 99, 128-130; Heidelberg Catechism, QA 104; Belgic Confession 36). You are under a law greater than your own policies. This law, God's law, applies to all peoples, unbelievers and believers alike. All mankind will be judged under the same law. If there are any on the board who do not profess Christ, you must hear the gospel and turn from your sins so that you may be saved. If you would hear this message of salvation while there is yet time, please contact us at pastor.rvurc@gmail.com.However, being aware of the demographics of our county, it is far more likely that this board and the library staff are full of churchgoers. If so, what grief you bring upon Christ's name! “Who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth?” (Gal. 3:1)What does the Word of God say of your actions?By providing in your catalog any material with perverse content, you promote peoples' minds to dwell upon that which is prohibited by the holy law. You train peoples' hearts to store up that which defiles the temple of our body (1 Cor. 6:18-20).“Fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints, neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not fitting…For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God (Eph. 5:3-5).” Sexual immorality is not limited to only an outward action, but also when the mind itself is lured to entertain temptation. As Jesus says in Matthew 5:27-28, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”We are instead positively commanded to give our minds to holy, good things: “whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Phil. 4:8).Perhaps you object. Perhaps you think, “I'm not responsible for what others do. If they want to read these things, that's for them to decide.” You may as well like Cain (Gen. 4:9) ask the Lord, “Am I my brother's keeper?” Yes, you are. “Do not be deceived,” says Paul, for “Evil company corrupts good morals” (1 Cor. 15:33), and “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump” (Gal. 5:9).Concerning sexual immorality and the 7th commandment, Q. 109 of the Heidelberg Catechism asks, Does God, in this commandment, forbid only such scandalous sins as adultery? Note its answer well: “We are temples of the Holy Spirit, body and soul, and Godwants both to be kept clean and holy. That is why God forbids all unchaste actions, looks, talk, thoughts, or desires, and whatever may incite someone to them” (see also WLC QA 139). It is clear: you shall certainly be held responsible for your part in distributing that which may lead someone to sin, whether they be adult or child; regardless of the government's position on its permissibility. However, know that your guilt is magnified for involving a child. Indeed, by permitting a child to check out such filth, you pose a stumbling block before them that they trip into sin. To you Jesus says, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to one through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin” (Luke 17:1-2; WLC QA 151).We pray you will heed these warnings with all sobriety, especially if you profess Christ, for “You should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind” (Eph. 4:17). “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4).Consider this rebuke as a mercy from the Lord, shining light to expose devilish works. And now being exposed, understand that “to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin” (James 4:17), “for if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment” (Heb. 10:26-27). Can the stakes be any more clear than that? What ought you do?Well, if you would truly be called public servants:* Serve the parents by informing them if a child is seeking adult content (Prov. 17:25; 29:15)* Serve the child by declining to check out any material that would be destructive to their soul, even if it would cost you your job. (Lev. 19:7; Prov. 27:5; James 5:19-20)* Serve the community by refusing to stock wicked books in the first place (Ps. 101:3); by not squandering tax dollars on smut (Prov. 21:20; Lk. 16:10-13). * Discard from your shelves all depraved materials, pornographic writings, even any work which might “shake the hand against God, in defiance against the Almighty” (Job 15:25; Ezek. 20:7; Acts 19:19). * Refuse to contribute to the deformation and denigration of godliness in this area and in this land (Deut. 28:47-48; Dan. 12:10; Matt. 24:12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; Jude 18-19).And finally, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up” (James 4:7-10).May God have mercy.Rev.

Israel ya había experimentado la ira del Señor durante su travesía por el desierto (Núm. 11:33; 12:9) y en la Tierra Prometida (Jos. 7:1), y era plenamente consciente de las consecuencias de provocar la ira de Dios al quebrantar el pacto. Estos versículos representan el clímax de la severidad de la retórica de Josué. Resulta chocante oír que el Señor destruiría a Israel, ya que el mismo término se había utilizado anteriormente para referirse a la aniquilación de los cananeos. Tan cierto como que las promesas del Señor se habían cumplido fielmente en cuanto a la bendición de Israel, las maldiciones del pacto (Lev. 26; Deut. 28) también se harían realidad si los israelitas lo quebrantaban. A la luz del despojo y la destrucción de los cananeos, estos versículos demuestran una vez más que Dios es, en última instancia, el Juez de toda la tierra. Él declara la guerra al pecado independientemente de dónde se encuentre este. Israel no fue santificado ni adquirió méritos especiales por participar en la guerra santa, como tampoco los adquirieron las naciones paganas cuando más tarde se convirtieron en el medio del juicio utilizado por Dios contra la nación elegida. Israel debía decidir si haría de las gloriosas certezas del pasado el fundamento para afrontar el futuro. A primera vista, la enseñanza bíblica acerca de la ira de Dios parece incompatible con la afirmación de que él es amor (Juan 3:16; 1 Juan 4:8). Sin embargo, es precisamente a la luz de la ira de Dios como la doctrina bíblica de su amor adquiere mayor relevancia. En primer lugar, la Biblia presenta a Dios como amoroso, paciente, abnegado y dispuesto a perdonar (Éxo. 34:6; Miq. 7:18). Sin embargo, en el contexto de un mundo afectado por el pecado, la ira del Señor es la respuesta de su santidad y justicia ante el pecado y el mal. Su ira nunca es una reacción emocional vengativa e impredecible. El Nuevo Testamento enseña que Cristo se hizo pecado por nosotros (2 Cor. 5:21) y que hemos sido reconciliados con Dios mediante su muerte (Rom. 5:10). Quien crea en él no tendrá que hacer frente a la ira de Dios (Juan 3:36; Efe. 2:3; 1 Tes. 1:10). El concepto de la ira de Dios lo presenta como el Juez Justo del universo que defiende la causa de la justicia (Sal. 7:11; 50:6; 2 Tim. 4:8).

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1====================================================DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2025“CON JESÚS HOY”Narrado por: Exyomara AvilaDesde: Bogotá, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church ===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================13 de DiciembreAngustia de gentes«Entonces habrá [...] en la tierra angustia de las gentes, confundidas [...]. Los hombres quedarán sin aliento por el temor y la expectación de las cosas que sobrevendrán en la tierra... » (Luc. 21:25-26).Los diccionarios definen la angustia como un estado de inquietud, aflicción o congoja intensas, causado por algo que se teme, como la amenaza de una desgracia o de un peligro ante el que nos sentimos impotentes.Esta palabra de Jesús nos llega a través de Lucas, alguien llamado por Pablo «el médico amado» (Col. 4: 14). Este profesional de la salud habla concretamente, en su original griego, de «angustia de las naciones». Los desquiciamientos de la tierra, como signos anunciadores del fin, provocan un estado de alarma que no solamente afecta a los individuos, sino que además crea un inquietante desconcierto a nivel de las naciones, que no saben cómo hacer frente a los problemas que se les vienen encima.Nos hacemos una idea aproximada de lo que Jesús nos anuncia aquí cuando recordamos el impacto causado a nivel mundial en 2020 por la expansión de un brote de coronavirus. La pandemia ocasionó una angustia a nivel de las naciones, de dimensiones planetarias.Es habitual en situaciones de angustia que los individuos nos dejemos dominar por instintos y emociones, especialmente por el miedo. Cuando el pánico nos nubla la razón, cuesta volver a recuperar la serenidad, porque la sensatez necesita tiempo para imponerse y las circunstancias extremas suelen dictar una urgencia que no deja tiempo para la reflexión.Cuando estamos angustiados, todo nuestro organismo sufre: el corazón se acelera, sentimos presión en el pecho, la respiración se altera, hay quienes no pueden controlar sus temblores, etcétera. Y cuando la angustia contagia a todo un país, las repercusiones psíquicas son aún más peligrosas: las noticias contradictorias nos hacen temernos lo peor, y a la angustia se añade la ansiedad por no saber qué nos depara el futuro.Lejos de Dios, la angustia nos acecha, como ya había advertido Moisés a Israel si se apartaba de sus caminos: «Tendrás la vida pendiente de un hilo; y estarás aterrado de noche y de día, y no tendrás seguridad de tu vida» (Deut. 28: 66)Pero las palabras de Jesús recogidas por Lucas nos invitan a enfrentar hasta las peores situaciones colectivas con serenidad: «Cuando estas cosas comiencen a suceder, erguíos y levantad vuestra cabeza, porque vuestra redención está cerca» (Luc. 21:28). Aun en situaciones de emergencia, cuando lo normal es sentirse confundido, asustado o irritable, cuando el miedo se instala en torno nuestro por la «angustia de gentes», Jesús nos invita a compartir nuestra paz y nuestra esperanza, porque nuestra redención se acerca.

Leviticus 15:1-3; Numbers 5:1-4. #everydaychristians
5:8-16 The doxology of EliphazThere are similar doxologies in Job 9:4-12 and 12:13-25.5:8 But as for me, I would seek God- (Amos 5:4, 6) The Hebrew text actually says but I seek God. Is seeking God in this passage to inquire of the LORD as the word sometimes means in Gen. 25:22; Ex. 18:15; I Kings 14:5; 22:8; II Kings 1:3, 6,16; II Kings 22:18; II Chron. 32:31; Ezek. 14:7; 20:1. 5:9 Who does great and unsearchable things- 9:10; Ps. 136:4. God's glory is beyond our ability to search or understand (Job 9:10; 11:7; 36:26; Isa. 40:28). Bildad will use the same word for searched in Job 8:8 in which he will say that former generations have searched out this problem of suffering and come to the same conclusions where he and his friends arrived. 5:10 He gives rain on the earth- Ancient people would have attributed the rain to the blessings of their God or gods. Modern man tends to view rain as a natural phenomenon and just as illustration of how the world works. The Bible does not attribute rain to Baal (the contest between Baal and Yahweh in I Kings 17-18). The Bible does not make rain simply a natural law that God built into the world. The Bible speaks of it as a blessing from God's hand, both in Job 36:27-28; 38:25-26. God sending rain on the just and unjust is a continual illustration of him doing good to those who are His enemies in Matt. 5:45.5:11 So that He sets on high those who are lowly- The word translated lowly, shakal, is translated humble in Prov. 16:19; 29:23. God often dramatically reverses a person's situation (I Sam. 2:7-8; Ps. 113:5-8; 147:6; Luke 1:46-56). God exalts the lowly (Matt. 23:12; Luke 14:11; 18:14). 5:12 He frustrates the plotting of the shrewd- God used the counsel of Hushai to thwart (same word translated frustrates here) the good counsel of Ahithophel (II Sam. 17:14).This word shrewd can be used in a positive sense (Prov. 1:4; 8:5; 12:16, 23; 13:16; 14:8, 15, 18; 15:5; 19:25; 22:3; 27:12) or in a negative one (Gen. 3:1; Job 5:12; 15:5). 5:13 He captures the wise by their own shrewdness- The idea is the wise man falling in his own trap he has set for others- Job 18:7-10; 36:8-10; Ps. 7:15; 35:7-8; 57:6; Prov. 26:27; 28:10; Esther 7:10. This verse is quoted by Paul in I Cor. 3:19 and introduced by the wording “For it is written." Does the fact that I Cor. 3:19 shows us that Eliphaz spoke truth demand that he used these words in a proper way? His words are truth, but he seems to place Job among the shrewd who will be brought down. 5:14 By day they meet with darkness- Job 12:24-25; Deut.28:29; Isa. 59:10. And grope at noon as in the night- In the brightest times of the day they will encounter complete darkness (Amos 8:9). 5:15 But He saves from the sword of the mouth- For the tongue as a weapon- Ps. 52:2,4; 64:3; Isa. 54:17; Jer. 18:18; Ps. 12:3-5; 31:21; James 3:5-6. 5:16 So the helpless has hope- 8:13; 11:18; 14:7; Jer. 31:17; Ezek. 37:11; Prov. 19:8; Ruth 1:12; Lam.3:29 The fact that God does these things is a reason for help for the broken. God will catch the world's expectations by surprise. And unrighteousness must shut its mouth- Ps.107:42. Is Eliphaz placing Job among those who are lowly who will be lifted up or among those who are shrewd who will be brought down? The fact that he emphasizes more about the shrewd who are brought down (vs. 12-14) suggests to me that this is Eliphaz's emphasis here.

Can a true prophet of God ever miss a word—or does one mistake automatically make you a false prophet? In this follow-up episode, the Remnant Radio crew sits down to thoughtfully engage Corey Minor's critique of our “Can True Prophet Miss?” show, pressing into what Scripture teaches about New Testament prophecy, false prophets, and the voice of God.Original RR Episode: https://youtu.be/Iwi3E66olekBlog Post: https://www.theremnantradio.com/blogs/is-there-a-difference-between-old-testament-new-testament-prophecy0:00 – Introduction4:42 – Framing Corey's response on Acts 21:46:34 – Were the Acts 21:4 disciples prophesying wrongly?12:19 – Is Deut 18 about all prophets?16:29 – “Presumptuously” in Deut 18 and rebellion vs. honest error20:22 – Did the Acts 21 believers actually prophesy “don't go to Jerusalem”?33:02 – Did Nathan falsely prophesy to David about building the temple?45:05 – Has the charismatic movement “cheapened” the voice of God?55:17 – How churches should weigh and discipline modern prophecy58:51 – Are mistaken charismatics “false prophets” and closing remarks Hey Guys, Josh Lewis here.
