Presented by Jenn Miller Idolatry is when we turn to anything besides God for our fulfilment, security, hope, or comfort. John Calvin once gave a great image of the human heart. He called it an idol making factory. Just picture that. In other words, idolatry comes so naturally to us because of our sin nature. And we are blind to idols of our heart. How can you and I identify areas of idolatry so we can turn away from them? Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength (Deuteronomy 6:5). Anything that prevents my heart from loving God completely is an idol. I have found the following questions helpful when seeking to identify idols in my life. First, is there anything you love so much, if you were to lose it, life would just be over for you or you don't think you could go on? If your answer is yes, that thing has probably become an idol for you. Is there something you want so much you are willing to sin to get it? Or do you respond sinfully when you don't get something you want? Those are marks of idolatry. These questions can be hard to ask, but they are helpful in revealing things that have crept into my heart to take the Lord's rightful place. When you love God with all your heart, soul, and strength, you can face any loss because your hope is found only in the Lord. You long to please him above anything else. Sinful behaviors or desires can be idols, but even good things can become idols.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In this episode for March 9th, 2024, your Bible Reading Coach, Hunter, guides us through a meaningful journey in the scriptures, exploring Deuteronomy chapters 10 through 12 and the triumphant resurrection story in Mark 16. Hunter shares insights into the Shema, the significance of obedience, and God's unwavering faithfulness, reminding us that we are never left behind—even in moments of grief and doubt. We're also joined by our Prayer Assistant, Heather, who leads us in prayers for strength, peace, and unity, helping us start the day aligned with God's purpose.

Stay with us for scripture, reflection, and heartfelt prayer—let's walk this path together and step into the new day with faith and joy! TODAY'S DEVOTION: He has not left us behind. That's the essential message echoing from the empty tomb. The women arrive, grieving and uncertain, confronted with sorrow and a sense of abandonment—the loss so raw, feeling as if God Himself has departed, that Jesus who once delivered, healed, and loved has left them alone. Every funeral, every moment in the face of death, carries that sting of doubt: "Has God left us? Is this the end?" But the resurrection upends our fears. There, dressed in white at the tomb, an angel greets them—not with despair, but with the unthinkable news: "He isn't here… Go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there." The risen Christ is not found among the dead, nor does He abandon His own in the darkest hour. Instead, He goes before them—and before us—calling us to hope again. God doesn't do abandonment, friends. He rescues us completely, even from the deepest despair, from the very thought that we are left behind. The resurrection means the presence of God is a constant, not a memory. He meets us right in the places of pain and loneliness, convincing us by His Spirit how good this news really is—a promise and a reality that God is here and always will be. May our souls be convinced of this truth. May our families rest in it, and may our communities be shaped by it. The God who overcame the grave walks ahead of you today. He sees you, loves you, and never leaves you. May you live in that light. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Deuteronomy 23-25; Psalm 60; Proverbs 12:16·20; Mark 11:1·19

Hope for Right Now Podcast–Desert Bloom, A Lenten Journey: Love Hurts While Walking with Purpose Founder Lisa takes time to write our next women's Bible study, Laura Phelps welcomes guest Caitlin Bean to the Hope for Right Now podcast for a seven-week series: Desert Bloom, A Lenten Journey. Lent is a time of sacrifice, preparation, and spiritual waiting—a time to prepare our hearts for Easter through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. For many of us, it has become about exterior performance, a “holy checklist” we begin on Ash Wednesday and struggle to sustain for 40 days. And preparation? Who has time for that? We are exhausted—after all, it was just Christmas! If this is how your heart feels at the start of Lent, this series is for you—offering practical encouragement, Scripture reflections, and simple ways to experience a more meaningful, peace-filled Lent. In today's episode, Laura and Caitlin talk about waiting in dormancy and why God's timing is perfect, despite circumstances screaming the opposite. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Romans 5:8: But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Mark 9:43–48: If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna, where “their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.” 1 Corinthians 10:31: So, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. Isaiah 60:22: I am the Lord; in its time I will hasten it. Deuteronomy 32:4: The Rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are justice. Galatians 6:9: Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart. Romans 4:20–21: No distrust made him waver concerning the promises of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. Genesis 37:29: When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not in the pit, he tore his clothes. Job 1:20: Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground and worshiped. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection.

Fear can be irrational, stubborn, and hard to reason away, especially when obedience puts us in unfamiliar territory. In Deuteronomy 7, Moses shows Israel how to move forward anyway: remember what God has done, know God is with you and working for you, and endure when deliverance comes “little by little.” God's timing is perfect, so keep trusting and keep progressing.

Scripture: Proverbs 4:23“Life is getting faster.

What if the biggest threat to your faith is not rebellion but distraction? Most people do not walk away from God in a single moment. It happens slowly. One decision, one season, one shift in focus at a time. In this powerful message from the Misfit Mindset series, Larry McCall explains why the Christian life is really a battle for your attention and how believers can stay focused on the path Jesus calls us to follow. Using Scripture from Psalm 143, Romans 12, Mark 12, and Deuteronomy 6, this sermon explores the two paths every person walks and why followers of Jesus often find themselves drifting without realizing it. If you feel spiritually distracted, worn down by life, or unsure where you stand with God, this message will help you refocus your heart and rediscover the life and peace that come from walking closely with Jesus.   Did you accept Christ today?

There are times when the world seems to have all the glitz & glamor and we can be tempted to follow their ways. Today we'll see that this attitude motivated the Israelites to seek a king. Although the Lord gave them their request, it was not without stern warning.  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. The podcast opens with the social context of this chapter. How might the Philistine's success have tempted the Israelites to copy the ways of the nations? 2. How old was Samuel at this point? What was his plan for the succession of authority after him? How was that working out? 3. In verse 5, what did the people want? How did Samuel initially view this demand in verse 6? 4. What did the Lord say about the people's demand in verses 7 & 8? How might the people's low view of their covenant with God help us understand why the Lord says these things? 5. In verses 10 to 17, what dangers did Samuel warn the people about? Why would a king have this impact on the nation? 6. What would the Lord's response be to them in verse 18? How does their low view of their covenant with God help us understand why He would not listen to them? 7. In verse 20, why did the people want a king? What does this reflect about their view of God? 8. The podcast points out that Samuel is most well-known for the things he did in his old age. How does this give us hope that we're never too old to be part of God's work in this world? 9. The podcast speculated that Samuel's circuit ministry in 1st Samuel 7 may have kept Samuel away from his family for long stretches. Why would this be a problem? How would this violate God's instructions about the role of parents in Deuteronomy 6? 10. Why is it tempting to look at the world's goods and to think that their success comes from their wisdom and their ways? 11. What dangers can you see in this passage about people forcing something to get what they want, but it not be God's highest ideal for their life? 12. Finally, who should be our true king and how should we relate to Him? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

March 4, 2026 - Wednesday PM Bible Class In this closing lecture of the Deuteronomy series, Andy explores Deuteronomy chapters 33–34: Moses' final blessings of the tribes, his ascent of Mount Nebo, and his death. The episode compares Moses' tribal blessings with Jacob's earlier blessings in Genesis, tracks differences in order and emphasis, and highlights why Simeon is omitted while Levi is transformed from a curse into priestly service. Guests: none — this episode is a class lecture led by the instructor. Topics covered include the sequence and content of each tribal blessing (Reuben, Judah, Levi, Benjamin, Joseph/Ephraim and Manasseh, Zebulun, Issachar, Gad, Dan, Naphtali, Asher), the literary and theological parallels with Jacob's blessings, animal imagery and metaphors used for the tribes, Joseph's extraordinary prosperity, Judah's messianic associations, and archaeological and census evidence that helps explain Simeon's diminishment and assimilation into Judah. Key points and interpretations discussed: Moses' blessings often echo Jacob but also reshape tribal destinies (Levi's scattering becomes a sacred inheritance); Simeon's omission illustrates consequences and God's sovereignty; Benjamin and Joseph receive special protections and abundance; Moses obediently climbs Mount Nebo, views the Promised Land, and dies as a faithful servant; and Jude's later reference to Michael disputing with the devil over Moses' body is examined with plausible explanations (for example, preventing idolatry of his grave). Listeners can expect close textual reading, comparative analysis between Genesis and Deuteronomy, theological reflection on leadership and legacy, and practical takeaways about obedience, hope, and God's faithfulness to Israel's future. The episode includes Q&A moments from the class and brief archaeological and New Testament references that illuminate the text's historical and devotional dimensions. Duration 33:52

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, Heather guides us through the 8th day of March, marking day 67 in our journey through the Scriptures. Together, we reflect deeply on Deuteronomy chapters 7 through 9 and the powerful events of Mark 15. Heather reminds us that these sacred texts bear witness to Jesus—the source of our life—and invites listeners from around the world to ask the Holy Spirit for illumination as hearts and minds are renewed in God's love. The episode explores Israel's history of rebellion and God's unwavering mercy, revealing how Moses pleaded for his people and how God's plan to rescue and bless humanity extends far beyond Israel. As we witness Jesus's sacrificial love and advocacy on the cross, we're called to see the true heart of God—a heart overflowing with mercy, forgiveness, and restoration for all. Heather leads us in prayer, encouraging us to walk humbly in God's mercy and share his love with the world. Whether you're familiar with these stories or hearing them for the first time, this episode offers a moving invitation to see God's faithfulness afresh and to step forward into the day knowing: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We often read the stories of Israel's rebellion, their stubbornness, and their constant turning away from God, and it can seem as though their failures are unique or especially grave. But as Heather reflects, these narratives are an invitation to recognize our shared humanity—how everyone, everywhere, tends to reject God time and again. Yet in the midst of rejection, God's response is not what we might expect. Though it appears, even to Moses, that God's heart is set on rejecting the people, the truth is that Moses—like us—is seeing only partially, "through a glass darkly." He has not yet glimpsed the fullness of God's heart, the depth of mercy and love revealed in Jesus. One day, Moses—and all of us—will see with clarity. We'll see the heart of God unveiled in Jesus: the Son who offers himself for all rebellious humanity, standing as our advocate on the cross. It's there, in the Christological light of eternity, that we witness God's heart exceeding every hope, every expectation, every image Moses could have imagined. Moses repeatedly pleaded for mercy; he was a good advocate, faithful and persistent. But God's mercy was not because the people deserved it, but because God's promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was unbreakable. His plan was always bigger—extending not just to Israel, but to all people everywhere. Mark 15 shows us how God answers the pleading of Moses, how he responds to rebellious humanity: God offers himself. Jesus gives himself wholly, pouring out sacrificial love on the cross, accepting punishment on our behalf, ransoming us from sin and death. He forgives, sheds his blood, and pours out his Spirit—even for those who consistently reject him. Jesus stands in our stead; he rescues us from our delusions; he comes not to judge, but to save. Someone greater than Moses is now our advocate. Jesus undoes what Adam did. His vicarious life is not just for Abraham's descendants, but for all humanity. "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive." Jesus is a better Moses, revealing the true heart of the Father—a heart of mercy, a heart that desires to bless and rescue. Micah saw it long ago: God requires us to do right, love mercy, and walk humbly with him. Today, we are invited to walk in this mercy, to rest in the relentless love of God, and to see ourselves—rebellious and beloved—as recipients of grace through Christ. Let us live as people forgiven, embraced, and empowered by the self-giving love of Jesus. May we know the Father's heart, and may we reflect his mercy to the world. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console.

Deuteronomy 1:6-18

In this episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Parshas Ki Tisa, focusing on the profound lessons from the half-Shekel census at the beginning and the dangers of the Golden Calf sin that follows. He explains why a direct headcount is forbidden (leading to plague) and instead the half-shekel donation is counted: it preserves individuality (each person is unique and irreplaceable) while emphasizing communal unity—counting coins unites people as one collective, avoiding isolated judgment. The half-shekel symbolizes incompleteness alone; only when combined with others does one become "whole," reflecting the Jewish ideal of being part of a kehillah (congregation) rather than isolated.Rabbi Wolbe stresses the power of community: prayers in plural (e.g., "heal us," "bless us"), synagogues as Batei Knesset (places of gathering) for collective strength, and the peril of separation (e.g., avoiding one's local shul is spiritually damaging). He connects this to Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur judgment—being part of the tzibbur (public) brings mercy, as group requests are harder to deny. The episode warns against modern isolation (e.g., influencers becoming detached) and draws parallels to antisemitism: Jews must never hide identity but stand proud and united, as in Egypt where preserving names, language, and customs brought salvation. Unity makes us unbreakable—like bundled straws—while isolation invites downfall, especially when comfort leads to complacency (as with Haman or the Golden Calf)._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 6, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on March 8, 2026_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

“Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.” — Genesis 15:1 How long can you live on a promise? Abram and Sarai had lived with God's promise of a child for many years. Their faith was being tested, and their hope was beginning to fade.One evening God came to renew his promise to Abram, saying that his descendants would be as many as the stars in the night sky. Abram's faith was strengthened—and God provided even more.Our reading for today shows how God not only approaches people but also creates a pathway of relating to them. In this passage we read about a special kind of covenant (a binding promise) in which two parties would walk between the split carcasses of animals, as if to say, “May the same be done to me if I break my promise.” But here we find that only God goes between the carcasses. While Abram is in a deep, trance-like sleep, God himself takes on both sides of this covenant. This arrangement will have twists and turns, and God looks to the future, telling Abram that his descendants will become slaves in Egypt. But God also promises to bring them back—and he does that (see Exodus 12- 20; Deuteronomy 1-3).Since history began, people have tried to grab for themselves whatever they think their “great reward” should be. But God offers himself, making clear that the way to full life comes from understanding that the Lord is our shield and our ultimate reward. Dear God, thank you for making the way and providing for us. May we remember that you always provide for us and for our salvation. Amen.

Many of us know the classic song “End of the Road” by Boyz II Men and assume it is a heartbreaking love song. But a closer look at the lyrics reveals a more troubling story: it is about a person who cannot let go of a relationship that was unfaithful and toxic. The song portrays someone stuck in a delusion, clinging to what was, even though it was painful and unhealthy. This is not romantic; it is a tragedy that keeps people from moving forward into freedom and healing.This feeling of being stuck is not limited to romantic partners. We all have “exes” in our lives. An ex can be a job you poured everything into that never valued you, a mindset that no longer fits who you are becoming, or a season of life that has ended. The tragedy occurs when we struggle to accept that what once was is no longer, and we remain tethered to the past, unable to walk into our next chapter. This is precisely where we find the people of God in Deuteronomy 2. After years of wandering in circles, God declares that it is time to move on. He says, “You have been skirting this hill country long enough. Head north.” It is go time.

Continuing our series “Got Joy?”, Pastor Chase teaches how Paul starts off challenging us in how we should live our lives for Christ…in a manner worthy of the gospel:  How? In our conduct….in our consistency….cooperating with others….and He will give us courage through the difficult times. In doing this we will become ‘like minded' and find encouragement and comfort, sharing in the spirit and courage lived out in tenderness and compassion.But Paul reminds us to do all this while putting others first, and then our joy will be complete.Key Scriptures:Philippians 1:27-30, 2:1-4, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Joshua 1:9, Deuteronomy 31:6, I Chronicles 28:20, I Corinthians 16:13, James 3:16 

Deuteronomy 29-30

‭‭‭‭‭‭(Genesis 39:1-21) Genesis 39:6–8 (ESV) So he left all that he had in Joseph's charge, and because of him he had no concern about anything but the food he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. And after a time his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me.” But he refused. Joseph Was Distinctive: The Favor/Purpose Of The Father Was TangibleHis Coat (Favor): Genesis 37:3–4 (ESV) Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.His Dream (Purpose): Genesis 37:10–11 (ESV) But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?” And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.Joseph is in prison because of his coat and his dreamJoseph is in prison because of the touch of the father, and the calling of the father.They were jealous - the same touch/favor were available to them as well.His brothers destroyed the coat to remove the father's touch and sold him to remove the father's callingGenesis 37:10–11 (ESV) But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?” And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.The Father's Favor And Purpose Remained - Genesis 39:2–5 (ESV) The LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master. His master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD caused all that he did to succeed in his hands. So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had. From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, in house and field.Favor Attacked By A SUBSTITUTE For God's Gift Of SEXGenesis 39:7–8 (ESV) And after a time his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me.” But he refused and said to his master's wife, This is an iconic crossroads in life, desiring to pull you out of alignment with God's favor. At first glance, it's just sex.PhysicalNatural desiresCompanionship - I'm all alone (hard to marry-slave)Physical escape from difficulty circumstancesEmotionalBeing wanted by someone attractive/powerfulReward for the unfair trialEntitlement - deserved for accomplishmentsGateway to life goals.For all these reasons, the average person gives in.He's already a physical slave, but an emotional/spiritual slavery is attempting to take over.From 30,000 ft up, this is a bigger attack on favor/calling than his brothers.No issue will ever challenge favor like your sexuality.Sexuality is the #1 test you will every faceUnavoidable experiences in childhoodPoor decisions during youthUnknown doors opened in the spiritual realm 1 Corinthians 6:15–19 (ESV) Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,It's why so many children are attacked at a young age.Pollute a person's sexuality, and the impact is massive.No Issue Will Challenge Favor Like Your SexualityIt will take an and pollute a mile.Adultery (Sexual relations with a married person)Exodus 20:14; Leviticus 20:10; Matthew 5:27–28; Proverbs 6:32.Fornication / Sexual Immorality (A broad term—Greek porneia—covering sex outside of marriage)1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Galatians 5:19; Hebrews 13:4.Incest (Sexual relations with close relatives)Leviticus 18:6–18; Leviticus 20:11–12, 14, 17, 19–21; 1 Corinthians 5:1.Homosexual Acts (Same-sex sexual activity)Leviticus 18:22; Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Timothy 1:10.Bestiality (Sexual relations with animals)Exodus 22:19; Leviticus 18:23; Leviticus 20:15–16; Deuteronomy 27:21.Prostitution (Engaging in or soliciting sexual services for hire)Leviticus 19:29; Deuteronomy 23:17–18; 1 Corinthians 6:15–16.Rape / Sexual AssaultDeuteronomy 22:25–27; Genesis 34:1–7.Effeminacy / Cross-Dressing (Cultural expressions of gender subversion in a sexual/moral context)Deuteronomy 22:5; 1 Corinthians 6:9 (specifically the term malakoi in some translations).Lust (Cultivating sexual desire for someone not one's spouse)Matthew 5:28; Job 31:1; 1 John 2:16.Sensuality / Lasciviousness (Lack of restraint; promoting lewdness)Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 4:19; Jude 1:4.Impurity / Uncleanness (Moral or ritual defilement related to sexual conduct)Colossians 3:5; Ephesians 5:3; Romans 1:24.Seduction of a Virgin (Sex with an unbetrothed woman)Exodus 22:16–17; Deuteronomy 22:28–29.Cult Prostitution (Sexual acts as part of pagan worship)1 Kings 14:24; 2 Kings 23:7; Hosea 4:14.The Beauty Of Sex - (8) We believe that Christian marriage was established by God, confirmed by Jesus, and is between a man and a woman. We believe that sex is a gift from God designed for intimacy and procreation within marriage.Created by God - Matthew 19:4–6 (ESV) He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”For Companionship/Unity/IntamacyGenesis 2:24: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."Matthew 19:5–6: "...and the two shall become one flesh? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."For Pleasure/Protection 1 Corinthians 7:5: "Do not deprive one another... so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control."1 Corinthians 7:2: "But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband."For Pro-Creation (no more reflective of God than when you have kids)Genesis 1:28: "And God blessed them. And God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it...'"Psalm 127:3–5 (ESV) Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.Between Recapture Your Sexuality. Recapture Your Alignment For Favor/PurposeEphesians 5:3 (NIV) But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.1 John 1:9 (ESV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.CONFESS - homologeōHomos - sameLogos - word or speakTo speak the same thing.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In this episode for March 7th, Hunter invites us on day 66 of our journey through scripture. Together, we'll explore key passages from Deuteronomy 5 and 6, Psalm 43, and Mark 14. Hunter helps us reflect on the foundational moments when Moses recounts God's commandments to Israel, the psalmist's longing for God's presence, and the powerful, sobering scenes leading up to Jesus' betrayal and crucifixion. As your Bible reading coach, Hunter weaves together these texts to reveal timeless truths about God's love, human frailty, and the radical invitation to participate in Christ's self-giving, forgiving love. This episode also includes moments of guided prayer and encouragement to let God's joy be your strength in daily life. Whether you're listening at home or on the go, you'll be reassured of one thing—"You are loved, full stop." Join us and let these words of life shape your heart, renew your hope, and lead you deeper into God's story. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We are all guilty of betrayal. Peter, Judas, all the disciples—even you and I—have in common this: despite our best intentions and strongest resolves, we have fallen away, betrayed with our words, our actions, sometimes even with a kiss. Isaiah says, all we like sheep have gone astray; we've left God's path to follow our own. That's the story not just of the disciples but of humanity. Each of us has reached for that fruit of deceit, separating ourselves from the source of our life, straying in ways large and small from the One who loves us. But Jesus steps into this place of failure and separation. He takes the cup—the cup that for him means suffering and death, the cup of bitter sorrow—and he transforms it. It's a cup filled with his blood, shed for the world, for you and for me. And in that act of self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love, Jesus draws us into life. He defeats death not with violence or retribution, but with his own surrender and love. He drinks down the cup of suffering so that he might hand us the cup of life—a life that invites us to participate with him in that same self-giving, forgiving, co-suffering love. We, who have freely received, are now invited to freely give. We are called not just to receive his forgiveness, but to live out that love, to be people shaped by radical hospitality, mercy, and hope. Let's learn these ways. Let us practice the rhythm of receiving his love and sharing that love with the world. That is my prayer for myself, for my family, and for you: that together, we would enter ever more deeply into the life Christ offers—self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love—for our neighbor, our enemy, and ourselves. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

“Oh no!” That was my response upon opening a beehive and discovering the colony had suddenly died. It had been a thriving hive with lots of honey. I’d carefully maintained it throughout a mild winter and anticipated an early harvest. But a cold snap in the warm weather led to collapse. I checked with local experts. “Many beekeepers lost hives this time,” they reassured me. Mild winters present challenges for bees, even healthy hives. Bees fan their wings to maintain warmth in the hive in winter, but when weather warms briefly, they exhaust themselves seeking even more food. If temperatures drop quickly, they don’t have strength to keep warm. Their “distraction” leads to destruction. Even good things can become dangers when they turn us from what matters most. Moses cautioned God’s people about this after they left Egypt and before they entered the land God was about to give them—a land with “houses filled with all kinds of good things” that they “did not provide” (Deuteronomy 6:11). “When you eat and are satisfied,” Moses warned, “be careful that you do not forget the Lord” (vv. 11–12). Remembering God in our blessings helps us because He is the source of “every good and perfect gift ” (James 1:17). When we humbly respond to His goodness by loving Him with heart, soul, and strength (Deuteronomy 6:5), we find in Him the best blessing of all.

Daily Word Because we live in a world where people often get sick and sometimes die from those sicknesses, we are conditioned to accept being sick. However, sickness is not something we have to accept; we can choose not to be sick. This is important because sickness not only weakens your body, but your mind as well, which stops the faith you need to succeed in your calling. Listen to today's message to learn more about this important concept.   __________ Luke 8:14 MSG, Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV, Isaiah 53:5 KJV, 1 Peter 2:24 KJV, Isaiah 38:1–5 NLV, Mark 5:25–29 NLV, Mark 11:24 KJV, Proverbs 23:7 KJV, Mark 10:46–52 CEV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the March 6th, 2026 episode of the Daily Radio Bible with your Bible Reading Coach, Hunter. In today's journey, we come together from all corners of the world to open our hearts and minds to the pages of Scripture, seeking to be renewed and trained in the ways of Jesus—the ways of life and love. This episode features readings from Deuteronomy chapters 3 and 4, Psalm 36, and Mark chapter 13. Hunter guides us through dramatic moments in Israel's history—their victories, God's commands, and the urgent call to remain devoted. Psalm 36 offers a reflection on the unfailing love and faithfulness of God, while Mark's gospel delivers a powerful reminder from Jesus about keeping watch and staying alert, because no one knows the hour of His return. Throughout, Hunter weaves in personal stories and practical encouragements, reflecting on the active, vigilant faith Jesus calls us to. The episode closes with heartfelt prayers and a gentle invitation to engage in simple acts of connection and humanity, reminding each of us that, above all, we are loved. Settle in as we step into these sacred texts, find encouragement for our daily walk, and remember together to keep watch—faithful and awake—trusting God's enduring presence with us. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Keep watch. That's the word of Jesus to us as we move through our lives. After reading Mark 13, we hear him say: What I say to you, I say to everyone: watch. Sometimes we can imagine that keeping watch just means sitting and waiting, maybe even nodding off as the night gets long. But as Hunter reminded us with his story from the Bering Sea, keeping watch on a ship was anything but passive. It was a calling to active responsibility—alert to every course correction, faithful to look out for hidden dangers, even when things seemed still and quiet. In the spiritual life, Jesus calls us to this same kind of active attentiveness. Peter, James, John, and Andrew come to Jesus full of questions about the future: When will all things be made right? When is the kingdom coming in fullness? Jesus doesn't give them a timetable. Instead, he calls them—and us—to a posture of vigilant faithfulness. No one knows the exact hour or day, not even the angels, not even the Son, but only the Father. What does it mean, then, to keep watch? It means being faithful in the routines of our lives, staying vigilant in prayer, making space to listen for God's word, and doing the next right thing in the service of others—our families, our neighbors, our communities, our church. The stakes are high, but the comfort is real: Jesus is with us through the long watches of the night. He keeps watch with us, teaching us to trust him, to lean on his presence, and to find "songs in the night" as we wait. This podcast itself is meant to be a sort of spiritual wheelhouse—a routine and a place where we daily set our eyes on Christ, letting his words order our thoughts and align our course. Through the encouragement of the Spirit, through song, through scripture, and through prayer, we keep watch together, not just for our own sake but for the sake of those God has entrusted to us. So let's stay present. Let's be awake to the life God is placing before us. Let's keep watch—not in anxiety, but in hope and trust, knowing he is near, he is faithful, and in his time, he will return. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console.

Gulag: A History. Dennis Prager Talks to Pulitzer Prize Winning- Author Anne Applebaum Gulag: A History  by Anne Applebaum (Author) This is an ACU encore presentation. PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • This magisterial and acclaimed history offers the first fully documented portrait of the Gulag, from its origins in the Russian Revolution, through its expansion under Stalin, to its collapse in the era of glasnost. “A tragic testimony to how evil ideologically inspired dictatorships can be.” —The New York Times A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Century The Gulag—a vast array of Soviet concentration camps that held millions of political and criminal prisoners—was a system of repression and punishment that terrorized the entire society, embodying the worst tendencies of Soviet communism. Applebaum intimately re-creates what life was like in the camps and links them to the larger history of the Soviet Union. Immediately recognized as a landmark and long-overdue work of scholarship, Gulag is an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand the history of the twentieth century.

It's a must-read that every person, religious and non-religious, should buy and peruse every night before bed. It'll make you think harder, pray more ardently, and understand your civilization better." — Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" "Dennis Prager's commentary on Exodus will rank among the greatest modern Torah commentaries. That is how important I think it is. And I am clearly not alone... It might well be on its way to becoming the most widely read Torah commentary of our time—and by non-Jews as well as by Jews." — Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, bestselling author of Jewish Literacy Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors – and sometimes we ourselves – dismiss the Bible as irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today's issues, but completely consistent with rational thought. Do you think the Bible permitted the trans-Atlantic slave trade? You won't after reading this book. Do you struggle to love your parents? If you do, you need this book. Do you doubt the existence of God because belief in God is “irrational?” This book will give you reason after reason to rethink your doubts. The title of this commentary is, “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. As Prager says, “If something I write does not make rational sense, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible to people of every faith, and no faith. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world and to your life. His goal: to change your mind – and then change your life.   Highly Recommended by ACU.
