Today is day 23 and we are in the section Concerning the Creeds on question 23. 23. Why should you know these creeds? I should know these creeds because they state the essential beliefs of the Christian faith.

In this Thinking Talmudist episode on Gittin 57a, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe concludes the tragic stories of Kfar Sekania's destruction and delves into the Roman massacre of Betar (Beitar), using it to illustrate the dangers of reckless reaction and the power of lashon hara (slander) in causing national catastrophe.The Gemara recounts how Betar's custom of planting cedar trees for boys and pine for girls—later used for wedding canopies—led to disaster: when Caesar's daughter's carriage broke, her attendants cut down a local cedar, prompting Jews to attack them in outrage. This sparked Roman retaliation, resulting in the slaughter of millions (80,000 division leaders entering, blood flowing to the sea, streets running red). The destruction stemmed from overreaction to a perceived personal affront (the tree symbolizing a child's future), mirroring how lashon hara about Eretz Yisrael by the spies doomed a generation.The rabbi emphasizes intentional Jewish living over myths (e.g., tattoos or lashon hara barring burial), urging daily teshuva and vibrancy in mitzvot. He shares powerful personal reflections on family purity laws (niddah): physical separation (no touching, separate beds) creates 12 annual honeymoons, nurturing emotional depth and preventing relationships from becoming stale or objectified—preserving long-term love and holiness.The episode closes with a call to invest in authentic Judaism now, not just "die Jewish," and to recognize that all is in Hashem's hand._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way.

Join us as we explore the profound teachings found in Matthew 22:35-38 and Deuteronomy 6:4-5, shedding light on what it truly means to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind.Main Content:Section 1: The Greatest CommandmentIn Matthew 22:35-38, an expert in the law tests Jesus by asking which commandment is the greatest. Jesus responds emphatically, stating that we should love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind. This powerful commandment sets the foundation for our relationship with God. It emphasizes that our primary duty is to love God in every aspect of our lives.Section 2: The Call to LoveThis call to love is echoed in Deuteronomy 6:4-5, where it states, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." Here, we learn that loving God is not just a suggestion but a command that requires our utmost devotion and strength.Section 3: Seeking God FirstMatthew 6:33 further emphasizes the importance of prioritizing our relationship with God: "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." By seeking God first, we align our lives with His purpose, allowing everything else to fall into place. This pursuit of God should be our highest priority.Section 4: Obedience and DesireIn 1 John 5:1-3, we understand that love for God is demonstrated through obedience to His commandments. True love for God is not just about following rules but having a genuine desire to obey Him. The struggle of "white knuckling" through obedience highlights that without a heartfelt desire, our actions may become mere obligations.Section 5: The Role of the Holy SpiritThe transformation that occurs when we genuinely seek to love and obey God is empowered by the Holy Spirit. Revelation 3:18-21 reminds us that when we are corrected and rebuked by God, it is out of love. This leads to repentance and a renewed zeal to do His will. When we feel that desire to follow God earnestly, we can be assured that the Holy Spirit is guiding us.Key TakeawaysIn our journey to understand God's love, we find that loving Him wholeheartedly is our greatest commandment. This love compels us to seek Him first, obey His commandments, and be open to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. By prioritizing our relationship with God, we not only experience His love but also become instruments of His will in the world. Let us surrender to God, allowing Him to reign over our hearts and lead us in His love.Tags: God's Love, Greatest Commandment, Spiritual Growth, Matthew 22, Deuteronomy 6, Holy Spirit, Obedience to God, Faith, Christian Living, Seeking God First

Life is not accidental—it is sacred, intentional, and God-given.

Highlights Life is a sacred gift intentionally created by God Scripture calls believers to actively choose life over death Every person is made in the image of God and has inherent value Our words have the power to influence life or destruction Biblical truth affirms life from the womb to the grave God’s design for humanity does not change with culture Christians are called to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: Why Life Is Sacred By Lynette Kittle Bible Reading: “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.” - Deuteronomy 30:19 Why are so many people choosing death over life these days? If asked, many individuals might disagree, not realizing what they are doing. Still, when we consider our culture’s views on the sacredness of life, we see the reality that individuals are choosing abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, suicide, and more. Because death is a popular choice for so many people, it’s more important than ever for us to speak out and help lead others to choose life over death. As Christians, we recognize that those who reject Jesus are choosing death, rather than receiving the life God gives us. A Day Set to Choose Life Every January since January 22, 1984, many Christians observe Sanctity of Life Day, a day set aside to commemorate God’s priceless and sacred gift of life. The United States' 40th President, Ronald Reagan, first issued the national proclamation setting aside a day to honor life and remember the millions of lives ended through abortion. It’s a day to remember those who can’t speak for themselves, committing to pray for and protect their life at every age and stage. Proverbs 31:8 urges us to “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” Like Deuteronomy 30:19 urges, we, who are believers in Jesus Christ, are daily called to choose life over death, to believe that life is sacred. So, how do we put this into action daily? By choosing life through the words we speak, write, and communicate about it to ourselves, friends, family, community, and the world at large. Speaking Influential Words As Proverbs 18:21 reminds us, “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Whether we realize it or not, the words we choose to speak and write influence those who hear and read our words. Because they do, it’s vitally important, a matter of life and death, that we celebrate and support life for those around us. Choosing God’s Truth God describes the very beginning of humankind, of their sacredness of being made in His image, as Genesis 1:27 describes, “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” Christians who replace biblical truth with other ideologies are choosing creator-less options, calling God a liar, along with removing the need for a Savior and devaluing life. But as believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to embrace and cherish the sacredness of life, of the truth of being formed in the image of our amazing Creator, who breathed His breath of life into us. There should be no doubt in our hearts and minds about who created us, the One who formed us with His own hands and has called us priceless in His sight. As Genesis 2:7 explains, God is very clear about where humans began and by whose hand. “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” Sanctity of Life Remains Nothing changes God’s truth about life and the sacredness of it, despite the world’s efforts to promote abortion, assisted suicide, and selecting and euthanizing those who have physical and mental issues and disabilities, various illnesses, and the elderly. God’s plan for each individual is life, as Psalm 139:16 describes: “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.” Men and women, from the womb to the grave, are God’s glorious, sacred creations. As Psalm 8:4-6 describes, “What is mankind that You are mindful of them, human beings that You care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of Your hands; You put everything under their feet.” Intersecting Faith & Life: How are we speaking about life? Are we sharing with others the sacredness of it?

“When Mercy No Longer Hides Rebellion”Teacher: Kerry BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis Torah-based teaching examines Psalms 106 and 107 as covenant court records documenting Israel's response to law already given.Psalm 106 records repeated rebellion under mercy.Psalm 107 records restoration after affliction.These Psalms do not introduce new instruction.They expose how Israel behaved after instruction was made plain.This lesson moves from covenant indictment to covenant restoration and concludes with wisdom that separates obedience from presumption.This is not encouragement.This is accountability.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGE1. Praise Under Law, Not EmotionPsalm 106:1–5Israel praises Yahuah, but blessing is defined by obedience, not expression. Covenant favor is requested, not assumed. Worship is governed by righteousness.2. Deliverance Without ApprovalPsalm 106:6–12Israel is delivered for Yahuah's Name's sake, not because of righteousness. Mercy reveals Yahuah's character, not Israel's standing.3. Desire, Authority, and Internal JudgmentPsalm 106:13–18Unsubmitted desire exposes rejection of counsel. Authority is challenged. Judgment follows. Appetite without restraint produces leanness of soul.4. Intercession Delays Judgment, It Does Not Redefine ObediencePsalm 106:19–23Idolatry provokes destruction. Intercession intervenes. Judgment is delayed, not dismissed. Survival does not equal approval.5. Fear Hardened Into RefusalPsalm 106:24–27Unbelief becomes rebellion. Delay becomes refusal. Judgment is sworn when trust is rejected repeatedly.6. Action That Preserves Life and Cycles That Destroy ItPsalm 106:28–43Righteous action halts death. Repeated compromise sustains cycles. Mercy returns, rebellion repeats.7. Restoration Under GovernancePsalm 107:1–42Those delivered must testify, give thanks, and change conduct. Crying out without transformation perpetuates distress. Increase tests obedience.8. Wisdom Separates After ClarityPsalm 107:43Hearing without obedience now establishes guilt. Wisdom closes the record.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSMercy has been mistaken for approval.Deliverance has been used to excuse disobedience.Hearing has replaced obedience.Psalms 106 and 107 correct this disorder.These Psalms establish that mercy increases responsibility, intercession delays judgment without redefining obedience, and continued rebellion after clarity is no longer ignorance but refusal.Covenant memory does not comfort.It testifies.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYPsalms 106–107Exodus 32; Exodus 34Numbers 11; Numbers 14; Numbers 16; Numbers 25Deuteronomy 1; Deuteronomy 8; Deuteronomy 10; Deuteronomy 30Judges 2Proverbs 11; Proverbs 13; Proverbs 24; Proverbs 26Ecclesiastes 3Ezekiel 18; Ezekiel 22; Ezekiel 33Isaiah 43; Isaiah 55Matthew 7John 5Romans 9; Romans 13Galatians 6Hebrews 3; Hebrews 10James 1Jude 1Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.No CashApp.No PayPal.FINAL WORDYahuah remembers His covenant.Rebellion is recorded.Mercy opens a path of return.Wisdom establishes separation.Psalms 106 and 107 govern accountability after mercy has been revealed.Final Heart Check:Now that covenant clarity has been given, will your response show obedience and adjustment, or will it repeat what has already been judged?

Dylan Cottrill's message from Wednesday January 21st, 2026In this powerful message, we confront a sobering reality: we live in a generation experiencing a spiritual famine of God's Word. Drawing from Amos 8:11-13, we're reminded that God warned of a coming famine—not of bread or water, but of hearing His Word. Today, despite having unprecedented access to Scripture, we're witnessing this prophecy unfold in our own time. We own multiple Bibles, yet studies reveal that over half of American Christians have read less than half of Scripture, and a third never open it outside of church. This isn't just about statistics; it's about survival. The Word of God is described throughout Scripture as living, breathing, powerful—sharper than any two-edged sword. It's a lamp unto our feet, a light unto our path, and literally the difference between spiritual life and death. When we neglect this precious gift, we walk into confusion, just as Deuteronomy 28 warns. We seek peace in entertainment, comfort in self-gratification, and answers in everything except the very pages that contain God's breath. The challenge before us is clear: will we commit to hiding God's Word in our hearts, allowing it to guide every step, every decision, every moment? This isn't elementary—it's essential. Our theme for the year, 'I must decrease as He increases,' starts right here, with opening the Book and letting it transform us from the inside out.
In this episode, Rabbi Michael Cohen and I explore a radical idea from Rav Dessler that reframes how we think about success, reward, and mitzvah observance. This world is not where mitzvot are paid back. It is where we are provisioned. What looks like reward is often just operating capital providing the resources necessary to fulfill our mission. We examine how imagination and experiential learning turn Torah from something we merely understand into something we actually live. You'll walk away with a clearer sense of purpose, a healthier relationship with struggle, and a practical way to align your pursuit of happiness with meaningful action.Join the Conversation!

Fear doesn’t disqualify us from being used by God—it often marks the starting point. This Christian devotional explores how Moses transformed from a hesitant, fear-filled man into one of the most courageous leaders in Scripture, revealing how God grows faith through daily dependence. Rooted in Deuteronomy 34:10–12, this devotion offers hope for anyone longing to move from insecurity to confidence in Christ. Moses didn’t begin his calling with bold faith. In fact, he pleaded with God to choose someone else. Yet over time, as he repeatedly turned to the Lord instead of his fears, God shaped him into a leader marked by courage, intimacy with God, and unwavering trust. His story reminds us that spiritual growth isn’t instant—but it is possible. Highlights God often calls people who feel unqualified and afraid Moses’ courage was developed, not instant Faith grows when we consistently turn to God in moments of fear Fear deepens when we dwell on problems; peace grows when we seek God’s presence True confidence comes from intimacy with Christ, not personal strength God’s power is revealed most clearly through surrendered hearts You don’t have to stay stuck in today’s insecurity Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: From Fearful to CourageousBy: Jennifer Slattery Bible Reading:Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, who did all those signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel. - Deuteronomy 34:10-12, NIV. Today’s passage, when understood in light of Moses’s full story, assures me that I can start afraid and end as a confident, influential, and powerful woman of God. While I’m nowhere near as faith-filled and courageous as I long to be, I’m encouraged knowing that I don’t have to remain stuck in today’s fear and insecurity. That’s not to say I expect my journey toward peace to feel easy or simple. Nor do I anticipate a smooth, linear trajectory where all fretting and overthinking steadily decrease day by day. Unfortunately, I’m much too inconsistent for that. The more I follow the examples set by the heroes of faith, however, the greater my intimacy with Christ, understanding and reliance on His truth, and trust in His care. You see, whenever I read Moses’ legacy, so beautifully preserved in Deuteronomy 34, I can’t help but think back on the man revealed in Exodus 3 and 4. If you’re familiar with the Old Testament, you might remember his not-so-courageous response to his awe-inspiring and miraculous encounter with God Almighty. After forty years living as a Prince in Egypt, he killed a man and fled to the land of Midian, where he remained as a fugitive. Perhaps assuming he’d forfeited whatever dreams he’d once held for his future, he soon settled into his new life, where he spent his time as a family man tending his father-in-law’s herds. Then one long, quiet, monotonous day, something captured his attention—a bush that kept burning without turning to ash. As he stepped closer to investigate, the voice of God Almighty called out from the foliage, engaging him in a life-changing conversation. The Lord told him that he’d heard the desperate cries of His enslaved people and was sending Moses to set them free. Understandably, this ignited anxiety within Moses. God responded through a series of miracles that displayed His power and authority, but this wasn’t enough to still Moses’s quaking heart. His fear of Pharaoh, the earthly ruler the Lord wanted him to stand against, was so great that he actually told God no, stating, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else” (Ex. 4:13, NIV). Eventually, however, he obeyed, and in the decades that followed, developed an unshakable faith able to withstand an approaching army, a militant raiding people group, constant complaints and revolts from those he led, near stoning, betrayal from his siblings, and all the hardships that came with wondering, for four decades, through an inhospitable wilderness enroute to an unknown land. What strikes me most, however, is the stark contrast he portrays compared to his fellow Hebrews. Like Moses, they began doubtful and afraid. Unlike him, they remained stuck in their unbelief and fear. Moses, on the other hand, grew so faithful and courageous; today’s passage memorialized him as, at that time, the greatest prophet known to man. Clearly, the difference wasn’t in their circumstances. He and they endured the same hardships and witnessed the same miracles. It also wasn’t in their makeup. He and they were both human and therefore experienced the same range of emotions as you and me. When we consider their stories closely and in full, we see the difference arose from how they responded in times of crisis. Whereas the people turned to one another with grumbling, complaining, and catastrophizing, thereby exacerbating their own and each other’s fears, Moses consistently turned to God. He sought the Lord’s help, comfort, guidance, protection, and provision. But most importantly, he simply sought God, because in His presence comes power, protection, and peace. Intersecting Life & Faith: Our world often feels chaotic and uncertain; tumultuous situations naturally evoke anxiety and fear. But you and I were created for peace and joy—not in the absence of trouble, but rather, in the presence of Jesus, our Prince of peace. The more we seek Him, read and reflect on His truth, and rest in His loving embrace, the greater our faith and the weaker our anxiety and fear.

A sermon from Rector Jon Odom, reflecting on Deuteronomy 6:4-5 and 1 Peter 1:1-2. This is the second sermon in a series on the Nicene Creed.
Genesis 10:1–11:26 | Nations, Babel, and God's DirectionIn this episode of CPXL, Andy Addis and Eric Franklin are joined by Ryan Booth for the first three-pastor conversation of Season 2 as they walk through Genesis 10–11—the account of Noah's sons, the spread of nations, and the Tower of Babel.Genesis 10 shows how humanity repopulates the earth after the flood, forming diverse nations and families. Genesis 11 reveals how pride and misplaced unity fracture that diversity at Babel. Together, these chapters remind us that while humanity multiplies, moves, and sometimes rebels, God remains sovereignly at work—directing history toward His redemptive purposes.The conversation explores why the “Table of Nations” matters, what Babel teaches us about pride and unity, and how God's scattering is not only judgment, but also loving direction. The episode closes by pointing forward to the genealogy of Shem and the emergence of Abram—evidence that God's plan continues even through a fractured world.In This Episode:Why Genesis 10 matters more than we thinkUnity, diversity, and God's design for the nationsThe heart issue behind the Tower of BabelHow God redirects humanity without abandoning His promiseThe hopeful line leading toward AbramKey Scriptures:Genesis 10:1–32Genesis 11:1–26Genesis 1:28Deuteronomy 32:8Acts 17:26–27Hebrews 11:8–12As Genesis shifts from nations to one family, we're invited to see how God works through history—and through ours.CPXL exists to equip and encourage Everyday Missionaries to Love God, Grow Up, Serve All, and Live Sent.Follow along on the Reading Plan with us: crosspointchurch.com/readingplanAbout CrossPoint ChurchCrossPoint is one church in many places, striving to reach the state of Kansas by catalyzing God's people to be Everyday Missionaries.

God through Moses doesn't flirt with abstractions when it comes to the justice of every day life and business. It rolls up its sleeves, plants its feet in the dust, and whispers: "Justice is not an idea. It's how you treat the body in front of you…every one….every day.”A chapter-a-day podcast from Deuteronomy 25. The text version may always be found and shared at tomvanderwell.com.
We live in a world saturated with messages, philosophies, and endless information. While much of it shapes how we think, are we holding on to what is true? In session three, we see how the enemy seeks to draw us away from sound doctrine in subtle ways, but Scripture calls us to reject worldly wisdom and instead carefully retain and guard the truth entrusted to us. Verses Used:2 Timothy 3:16Deuteronomy 11:18Psalm 1:2Proverbs 4:231 Corinthians 16:13Colossians 3:16Discussion Questions:How can we know what sound doctrine is?The world/enemy is constantly throwing information to retain. What are some of these things? What should we retain instead?Why does Paul tell us we must guard the Word that has been entrusted to us? What does it look like to do this?If we hold fast the faithful word, what two things does Titus 1:9 say we will be able to do? Do you feel comfortable doing one more than the other? Why? How can you be equipped to do both?Onesiphorus eagerly sought Paul out and refreshed his spirit while he was in prison. How can we do this for those around us, and why is this important to do?
Hebrews 12:5-11 & Deuteronomy 6:4-9 - Sun, Jan 18, 2026
Jesus fulfilled the law! It says so right there in Matthew. But what on earth does that actually mean? Different people have had vastly different interpretations of that idea, and the consequences of their ideas are significant! Are the old laws still in effect, or did Jesus abolish them? Should we throw away Leviticus? Should we stop eating shellfish? What does it mean??? Then, since we talked about Deuteronomy rules of war last week, we're going to take another look. We mentioned the Assyrian vassalage treaties, but only scratched the surface of that lunacy! What do the laws of God have to do with the terms forced on conquered territories by tyrannical rulers? Did God copy from the notes of Assyrian rulers? Is this connection valid or a stretch? And who is S. R. Haddon? ---- For early access to an ad-free version of every episode of Data Over Dogma, exclusive content, and the opportunity to support our work, please consider becoming a monthly patron at: https://www.patreon.com/DataOverDogma Follow us on the various social media places: https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod https://www.twitter.com/data_over_dogma Have you ordered Dan McClellan's New York Times bestselling book The Bible Says So yet???

11 “For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' 14 But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. 16 If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. 17 But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess. 19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, 20 loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
