Send us a textWhat if everything you've believed about God's foreknowledge is fundamentally wrong? This eye-opening exploration challenges the common misconception that God's foreknowledge is simply Him looking ahead in time to see what will happen. The truth is far more profound. God's foreknowledge isn't passive observation—it's the active foundation for all His sovereign decrees. When Acts 2:23 tells us Christ was "delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God," it reveals something crucial about divine knowledge. God doesn't make decisions after seeing the future; His foreknowledge is what establishes what will happen.This distinction transforms our understanding of salvation. Most Christians readily accept that Christ's crucifixion was ordained by God—that Judas's betrayal, the false witnesses, and the timing during Passover were all part of His sovereign design. Yet many struggle to accept that their own salvation follows the same pattern. The biblical truth? Your salvation isn't the result of God foreseeing your faith; rather, His foreknowledge is the very ground of your election.Through careful examination of Scripture, we explore how God uses anthropomorphic language to accommodate our limited understanding. When God asked Adam "Where are you?" or told Abraham "Now I know that you fear God," He wasn't lacking information. These expressions help us understand God's interactions with humanity in relatable terms.This deeper understanding of God's foreknowledge provides profound assurance. If all things—even the crucifixion of Christ—happen according to God's determinate counsel and foreknowledge, then we can rest confident that nothing in our lives falls outside His sovereign care. Our salvation doesn't depend on our own wavering decisions but on His eternal purpose established before time began.Support the show

Send us a textDive into one of Christianity's most misunderstood and controversial doctrines as we unpack Romans 8:29 and the beautiful truth of predestination. This thought-provoking episode challenges popular misconceptions while offering a deep, scripture-based understanding of God's sovereign love.At the heart of our discussion is a profound revelation: God's foreknowledge isn't simply awareness of future events, but a relational, intimate love established before creation. Through careful examination of the Greek word "prognosco" and its connection to the Hebrew concept of "yada," we discover that God's predestination flows from His eternal love for His people.The conversation tackles tough questions head-on: Does human free will override God's sovereign plan? Why do so many Christians resist this doctrine? What does it mean that those God foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to Christ's image? Our panel offers insightful perspectives that bring clarity to these challenging concepts.Perhaps most powerfully, this episode reveals how predestination isn't a cold, deterministic doctrine but rather the ultimate expression of grace—God's unmerited favor flowing from His eternal love. When properly understood, predestination becomes not a source of controversy but profound comfort, assuring believers that their salvation rests not on human effort but on God's unchanging purpose established before time began.Whether you've struggled with this doctrine or simply want deeper theological understanding, this episode offers biblical wisdom that will transform your perspective on God's sovereignty, salvation, and the unshakable security we have in Christ. Join us as we discover the beautiful truth that "grace and predestination are twins"—both expressions of God's magnificent love.Support the show

Send us a textWhat if everything you've been taught about free will is backward? This thought-provoking exploration challenges the comfortable theology that places human choice at the center of salvation. The conversation begins with a startling observation: if free will is God's precious gift to humanity, why do Christians lose it when they enter heaven and can no longer sin? This seemingly simple question unravels conventional wisdom about choice, nature, and divine sovereignty.Drawing from Scripture, the discussion reveals how our choices always flow from our nature. As sinners by nature, we freely choose from among sins. This explains why Joshua's famous declaration "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" wasn't promoting neutrality but acknowledging that rejection of God means choosing among false alternatives.The heart of the message centers on God's sovereign love and heart transformation. Rather than robots following programming, Christians are new creations who have received heart transplants—hearts of stone replaced with hearts of flesh that naturally desire Christ. This regenerative work explains why believers can say with Paul, "the things I once loved I now hate."Perhaps most compelling is Christ's statement to believers: "Without me you can do nothing." If Christians can do nothing without Christ, how could unbelievers—who don't have Christ—exercise "free will" to be saved? The logic challenges us to reconsider what salvation truly means.This profound meditation on God's "brutal, ferocious, voracious, glorious love" offers liberation from performance-based religion. When we understand that salvation depends not on our fragile will but on God's unwavering love, we discover true freedom—not the freedom to sin, but the freedom to be loved and transformed by the God who chose us before the foundation of the world.Support the show

Send us a textThe profound mystery of divine foreknowledge unfolds in this thought-provoking exploration of what it truly means when Scripture declares "God knew you." Contrary to popular modern interpretations, we discover that God's foreknowledge isn't simply His awareness of future events but rather His eternal, electing love set upon His people before creation itself.Through careful examination of key passages in Genesis, Exodus, Amos, Jeremiah, and Romans, we uncover the beautiful truth that when God says "I know you," He means "I love you with an everlasting love." This understanding transforms our comprehension of salvation itself - not as something contingent upon our choices, but founded upon God's sovereign love established before time began.The discussion navigates the important distinction between common grace (God's general kindness to all humanity) and saving grace (His specific redemptive love for His elect). We explore why these once-common doctrines have become shocking to modern ears and why many churches now avoid these challenging yet biblically clear teachings.For believers, this revelation of God's foreknowledge as His "forelove" provides unshakable security and joy. When Romans 8:38-39 assures us nothing can separate us from God's love, it's because that love was established in eternity past. Even God's discipline, which always accomplishes its purpose in those He loves, flows from this same steadfast affection.Whether you're wrestling with questions of divine sovereignty, seeking deeper assurance of God's love, or simply hungry for biblical truth, this episode offers profound insights that will strengthen your faith and deepen your appreciation for God's unchanging love.Support the show

I. Core Concepts of God's Nature God as "Abba Father": Meaning of "Abba": A Hebrew word meaning "daddy," signifying an intimate and close relationship. Biblical Basis: Romans 8:14-16 and Galatians. Implications for Relationship: God does not withhold good things or do evil against His children. It implies full adoption rights, including the same inheritance as Jesus (co-heirs with Christ). Contrast with Human Perspective: The concept challenges traditional views of God as distant or formal. God is Love (Agape): Definition of Agape Love: Unconditional, independent of human actions, unmerited, and undeserved. Biblical Basis: 1 John 4:16 ("God is love"), John 3:16 ("For God so loved the world..."). Intensity of God's Love: Emphasized by the word "so" in John 3:16, leading to the ultimate sacrifice of His only begotten Son. "World" in John 3:16: Refers to the people of the world, not just the planet. Eternal Life (Zoe): Defined in John 17 as knowing God the Father and Jesus Christ. It is a person, not just a concept or a place. God's Love in the Old Testament vs. New Testament: Old Testament Context: Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-5): "O Israel, the Lord our God is one." The word "one" (echad) is a "uni-plural" word, implying a unified plurality (like "group" or "herd"), which the Jewish people often misunderstood as a strict singular, creating an obstacle to seeing Jesus as Son of God. Greatest Commandment: Love the Lord with all heart, soul, and strength. No one could perfectly keep this, highlighting the need for a Savior. Purpose of the Law: To make people conscious of sin and point them to a Savior (Romans 3:20, Law as a schoolmaster). Perception of God: Portrayed with anger and wrath (e.g., Flood, Sodom & Gomorrah, deaths under the Law). New Testament Context: New Commandment (John 13): Love one another as Jesus loved us (demonstrated through servant leadership like foot-washing). This supersedes the Old Testament law. Love as an Action Word: Not merely a feeling, but something demonstrated and done (e.g., Timothy caring for others in Philippians 2:20-21). Impact of Love: Fulfills the law (Romans 13:8), covers/obliterates a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8), and drives out fear (1 John 4:18). The Finished Work of Christ: Jesus absorbed all God's wrath and judgment on the cross (John 12, Isaiah 53-54). God promises never to be angry with His people again (Isaiah 54). God's Provision: Everything needed for life and godliness is already provided (2 Peter 1). Faith receives what God has already provided, it doesn't move God. God's Nature in the New Covenant: God does not cause sickness, disease, or natural disasters; these are not "acts of God" in the sense of divine judgment against His children. He is for us, not against us (Romans 8). II. The Power and Practicality of God's Love Love Fulfills the Law and Covers Sin: Romans 13:8: Love fulfills the law, meaning there is no law against one who lives in love. 1 Peter 4:8: Love covers/obliterates a multitude of sins – God "remembers your sins no more" (Hebrews 8:12). God's Perception of Believers: Sees them as perfect, complete, lacking nothing through Christ. Love Drives Out Fear: 1 John 4:18: "Perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment." Receiving God's Perfect Love: As we receive His love, fear and anxiety are dispelled. Overcoming Fear: Through active participation (singing songs of deliverance, asking in faith). Perspective on Demons: They are powerless "maggots" that can deceive but not defeat. Our Identity and Acceptance in Christ: Accepted in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:6): The Greek word "charito" (highly favored/blessed) is applied to believers, just as it was to Mary. We are "the Beloved." Ephesians' Emphasis: Shows our identity, how we are blessed, forgiven, redeemed, sealed with the Holy Spirit, and seated with Christ in heavenly places. Knowing God's Love: It surpasses knowledge; it's an experience in the heart, not just a mental concept. Love Compels Our Actions: 2 Corinthians 5: The love of Christ compels us; our lives are no longer our own. Motives for Action: Not for personal gain, financial benefit, or praise of men, but out of care for others (like Timothy). Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15): A profound picture of the Father's unconditional love, compassion, eagerness to forgive, and restoration. The father ran, embraced (epipto – a bear hug), kissed (continuously), restored (ring, robe, sandals), and celebrated. He would not let the son even finish his repentant speech. Love is Preeminent: 1 John 4:19: "We love because he first loved us." God initiated the relationship. God's Foreknowledge and Orchestration: God knows who will choose Him and orchestrates their lives from the womb (Psalm 139). Goal: Discipleship: God's goal is to make disciples who can operate in His love and bless others (like the good ground in the parable of the sower). Remembering God's Interventions: Keep a "book of remembrance" of how God has supernaturally intersected your life. The Greatest of These is Love: While faith and hope are important, love is eternal and central to God's defining characteristic. How Love is Expressed (Fruit of the Spirit - Galatians 5:22-23): Joy in the Lord, Peace, Longsuffering (Patience), Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control. Gentleness: A gentle answer turns away wrath. Self-Control: Speaking life, controlling appetites. Love Surpasses Understanding: Ephesians 3: God's love has immeasurable width, length, depth, and height, surpassing all knowledge. It is infinite in all directions, as is His forgiveness. Being Filled with the Fullness of God: Living out of our spirit, allowing the Holy Spirit within us to flow out in supernatural ways (healing, deliverance). Our Perfection in Christ: Our spirit is perfected the moment we are born again; sin cannot penetrate it (Hebrews 10:14, 1 John 3:9). This perfection is our witness to the world. God as Our Daddy: 1 John 3:1: "Behold what manner of love the Father (Abba) has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God." Receiving His Love: It is a gift to be received. II. Quiz What is the significance of the word "Abba" in understanding our relationship with God, and where in Scripture is it primarily found? Explain the concept of "agape" love as described in the source material. How does it differ from a conditional or earned love? How does the speaker differentiate the meaning of the word "world" in John 3:16, and what does he say eternal life (Zoe) truly means according to John 17? According to the source, what was the primary obstacle for Jewish people in the Old Testament to recognizing Jesus as the Son of God, related to their understanding of the Shema? What was the ultimate purpose of the Old Testament Law, and how did it demonstrate humanity's need for a Savior? Describe how Jesus's "new commandment" in John 13 supersedes the Old Testament law, and what specific action did Jesus perform to demonstrate this new commandment? How does the "finished work of Christ" change the perception of God's wrath and anger, particularly in relation to natural disasters? Explain the concept of "faith" as receiving what God has already provided. How does this differ from the idea of "moving God" through prayer or other actions? According to the source, how does God perceive believers after they accept Christ, and what happens to their past sins? Describe at least three actions of the father in the parable of the Prodigal Son that illustrate God's unconditional love and forgiveness. III. Quiz Answer Key "Abba" is a Hebrew word meaning "daddy," signifying an intimate and close relationship with God. It is primarily found in Romans 8:14-16 and Galatians, emphasizing that we have received a spirit of adoption, allowing us to cry out "Abba, Father." "Agape" love is described as unconditional, independent of human actions, unmerited, and undeserved favor of God. It means that we don't have to do anything to receive it; it is freely given once we become His child. The speaker states that the word "world" in John 3:16 refers to the people of the world, not just the planet. Eternal life (Zoe) is defined in John 17 as a person: knowing God the Father and Jesus whom He sent. The primary obstacle was their misunderstanding of the Hebrew word "echad" (one) in the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4). While a singular word, it has a plural meaning (like "group" or "herd"), but they interpreted it as strictly singular, preventing them from seeing Jesus as the Son of God. The Old Testament Law's purpose was to make people conscious of their sin (Romans 3:20) and to point them to a Savior. Its impossible standards, such as being perfect as God is perfect, demonstrated that no one could keep it, highlighting the universal need for a redeemer. Jesus's "new commandment" in John 13, "love one another as I have loved you," supersedes the Old Testament law, including the Ten Commandments. He demonstrated this by washing His disciples' feet, showing what it meant to be a servant and to love others through action. The "finished work of Christ" means that Jesus absorbed all God's wrath, anger, and judgment on the cross once and for all time. Therefore, God is no longer angry with His people and does not cause sickness, disease, or natural disasters as a form of judgment. Faith, in this context, is described as simply receiving what God has already provided for us through the finished work of Christ. It differs from "moving God" because God has already moved and provided everything; faith is our act of reaching out and taking hold of what is already available. God perceives believers as perfect, complete, and lacking nothing, through Christ. Their past sins are not remembered by God; they are "covered by the blood of Christ" and "obliterated," as if God has no recollection of them. Three actions of the father in the Prodigal Son parable illustrating God's love are: (1) He saw his son "still a great way off" and had compassion, running to meet him; (2) He "fell on his neck" (gave him a bear hug) and began continuously kissing him, not allowing him to complete his repentant speech; and (3) He immediately restored his son with a ring, cloak, and sandals, and celebrated his return, refusing to treat him as a servant. IV. Essay Format Questions Discuss the speaker's emphasis on God's love being "multifaceted" and "like a mosaic." How does this perspective challenge a "one-dimensional" understanding of God, and what are the practical implications for believers? Compare and contrast the Old Testament and New Testament portrayals of God, focusing specifically on the concept of God's wrath and judgment versus His unconditional love. How does the "finished work of Christ" serve as the turning point in this theological understanding? Analyze the role of "love as an action word" in the Christian life, drawing on examples from the source material such as Timothy's character and Jesus's "new commandment." How does this active love relate to fulfilling the law and addressing sin and fear? The speaker states that God's love "surpasses knowledge" and is an experience of the heart. Explain what this means in terms of intellectual understanding versus spiritual reception. How does this concept connect with the idea of being "accepted in the beloved" and filled with the "fullness of God"? Examine the speaker's discussion on the nature of faith as "receiving what God has already provided." How does this understanding impact a believer's approach to prayer, healing, and general reliance on God, and what common misconceptions about God's responsiveness does it challenge? V. Glossary of Key Terms Abba: A Hebrew word meaning "daddy" or "father," used to denote an intimate, affectionate, and close relationship with God. Agape: A Greek word for unconditional, selfless, and benevolent love, often used to describe God's love for humanity. Charito (Accepted in the Beloved): A Greek word meaning "highly favored" or "blessed," used in Ephesians 1:6 to describe believers' status in Christ and also used by Gabriel to Mary. Discipleship: The process of becoming a follower of Jesus Christ, mimicking His character and putting faith into action, going beyond simply being a "believer." Echad: A Hebrew word for "one," which in the context of the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4) implies a "uni-plural" unity (like a group or herd), rather than a strict singular, which the speaker argues was misunderstood by some Jewish people. Epipto: A Greek word meaning "fell on" or "embraced," used in the parable of the Prodigal Son to describe the father's bear hug and in Acts to describe the Holy Spirit "falling upon" believers. Finished Work of Christ: Refers to the complete and perfect salvation achieved by Jesus Christ's death and resurrection on the cross, through which all of God's wrath and judgment for sin were absorbed. Law (Old Testament): The Mosaic Law given to Israel, which, according to the speaker, served to make people conscious of sin and point them to a Savior, rather than being a means of salvation itself. New Commandment: Jesus's command to "love one another as I have loved you" (John 13), presented as superseding and fulfilling the Old Testament Law. Perfect Love: Refers to God's flawless and complete love, which, when received by believers, has the power to drive out all fear. Portrait of God: The speaker's method of presenting God's multifaceted nature, similar to assembling pieces of a mosaic, to provide a comprehensive understanding beyond simple definitions. Prodigal Son: A parable from Luke 15 used by the speaker to illustrate the Father's unconditional love, compassion, forgiveness, and restoration towards those who return to Him. Royal Law of Love: A New Testament principle emphasizing love as the guiding law for believers, fulfilling all other laws. Zoe (Eternal Life): A Greek word for eternal life, which John 17 defines not as a concept or a place, but as a person: knowing God the Father and Jesus Christ.

April 25, 2025 - Equipped 2025 - Day 2 - 1:30PM Session   Jason leads a bible study reflecting on free will and how God may know the future while still allowing free will amongst men.   Isaiah 3-5 -Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem 3 For behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah The stock and the store, The whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water; 2 The mighty man and the man of war, The judge and the prophet, And the diviner and the elder; 3 The captain of fifty and the honorable man, The counselor and the skillful artisan, And the expert enchanter. 4 “I will give children to be their princes, And babes shall rule over them. 5 The people will be oppressed, Every one by another and every one by his neighbor; The child will be insolent toward the elder, And the base toward the honorable.” 6 When a man takes hold of his brother In the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing; You be our ruler, And let these ruins be under your power,” 7 In that day he will protest, saying, “I cannot cure your ills, For in my house is neither food nor clothing; Do not make me a ruler of the people.” 8 For Jerusalem stumbled, And Judah is fallen, Because their tongue and their doings Are against the Lord, To provoke the eyes of His glory. 9 The look on their countenance witnesses against them, And they declare their sin as Sodom; They do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought evil upon themselves. 10 “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11 Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, For the reward of his hands shall be given him. 12 As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths.” Oppression and Luxury Condemned 13 The Lord stands up to plead, And stands to judge the people. 14 The Lord will enter into judgment With the elders of His people And His princes: “For you have eaten up the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses. 15 What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding the faces of the poor?” Says the Lord God of hosts. 16 Moreover the Lord says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, And walk with outstretched necks And wanton eyes, Walking and mincing as they go, Making a jingling with their feet, 17 Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, And the Lord will uncover their secret parts.” 18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery: The jingling anklets, the scarves, and the crescents; 19 The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils; 20 The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands; The perfume boxes, the charms, 21     and the rings; The nose jewels, 22     the festal apparel, and the mantles; The outer garments, the purses, 23     and the mirrors; The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes. 24 And so it shall be: Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench; Instead of a sash, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, baldness; Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty. 25 Your men shall fall by the sword, And your mighty in the war. 26 Her gates shall lament and mourn, And she being desolate shall sit on the ground. Jerusalem's Glorious Future 4 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, “We will eat our own food and wear our own apparel; Only let us be called by your name, To take away our reproach.” The Renewal of Zion 2 In that day the Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious; And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing For those of Israel who have escaped. 3 And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy—everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4 When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, 5 then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering. 6 And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain. God's Disappointing Vineyard 5 Now let me sing to my Well-beloved A song of my Beloved regarding His vineyard: My Well-beloved has a vineyard On a very fruitful hill. 2 He dug it up and cleared out its stones, And planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, And also made a winepress in it; So He expected it to bring forth good grapes, But it brought forth wild grapes. 3 “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard. 4 What more could have been done to My vineyard That I have not done in it? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes? 5 And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. 6 I will lay it waste; It shall not be pruned or dug, But there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds That they rain no rain on it.” 7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression; For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help. Impending Judgment on Excesses 8 Woe to those who join house to house; They add field to field, Till there is no place Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land! 9 In my hearing the Lord of hosts said, “Truly, many houses shall be desolate, Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant. 10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, And a homer of seed shall yield one ephah.” 11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning, That they may follow intoxicating drink; Who continue until night, till wine inflames them! 12 The harp and the strings, The tambourine and flute, And wine are in their feasts; But they do not regard the work of the Lord, Nor consider the operation of His hands. 13 Therefore my people have gone into captivity, Because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled. 16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness. 17 Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture, And in the waste places of the fat ones strangers shall eat. 18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, And sin as if with a cart rope; 19 That say, “Let Him make speed and hasten His work, That we may see it; And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, That we may know it.” 20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight! 22 Woe to men mighty at drinking wine, Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink, 23 Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away justice from the righteous man! 24 Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, And the flame consumes the chaff, So their root will be as rottenness, And their blossom will ascend like dust; Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25 Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people; He has stretched out His hand against them And stricken them, And the hills trembled. Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still. 26 He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar, And will whistle to them from the end of the earth; Surely they shall come with speed, swiftly. 27 No one will be weary or stumble among them, No one will slumber or sleep; Nor will the belt on their loins be loosed, Nor the strap of their sandals be broken; 28 Whose arrows are sharp, And all their bows bent; Their horses' hooves will seem like flint, And their wheels like a whirlwind. 29 Their roaring will be like a lion, They will roar like young lions; Yes, they will roar And lay hold of the prey; They will carry it away safely, And no one will deliver. 30 In that day they will roar against them Like the roaring of the sea. And if one looks to the land, Behold, darkness and sorrow; And the light is darkened by the clouds.   Isaiah 46 - Dead Idols and the Living God 46 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; Their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle. Your carriages were heavily loaded, A burden to the weary beast. 2 They stoop, they bow down together; They could not deliver the burden, But have themselves gone into captivity. 3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel, Who have been upheld by Me from birth, Who have been carried from the womb: 4 Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you. 5 “To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal And compare Me, that we should be alike? 6 They lavish gold out of the bag, And weigh silver on the scales; They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god; They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship. 7 They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it And set it in its place, and it stands; From its place it shall not move. Though one cries out to it, yet it cannot answer Nor save him out of his trouble. 8 “Remember this, and show yourselves men; Recall to mind, O you transgressors. 9 Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,' 11 Calling a bird of prey from the east, The man who executes My counsel, from a far country. Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it. 12 “Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted, Who are far from righteousness: 13 I bring My righteousness near, it shall not be far off; My salvation shall not linger. And I will place salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory.     Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jULCdmcyq9o   Duration 34:11

The Gospel Manifesto in the Book of Romans Pt. 6: God's Plan By Louie Marsh, 6-1-2025   Opening Graphics on Planning – ends with the 3 circles   1) I'm NOT in charge – God is!   19  You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” 20  But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” 21  Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? 22  What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23  in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory— 24  even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? 25  As indeed he says in Hosea, “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,' and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.'” 26  “And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,' there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.'” Romans 9:19-26 (ESV)   2) I need to REACH OUT to the lost just like God does.   5  For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. 6  But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?'” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7  “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?'” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8  But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9  because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10  For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11  For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13  For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:5-13 (ESV)   3) God's Plan is open to everyone who puts their FAITH in Christ.   17  But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, 18  do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19  Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20  That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. 21  For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22  Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. 23  And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. Romans 11:17-23 (ESV)   · The Eternal Plan of God is UNSTOPPABLE.   25  Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26  And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; 27  “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” 28  As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. Romans 11:25-28 (ESV)   · But I can miss God's plan for my life if I don't BELIEVE.   4) God is far wiser than I can EVER UNDERSTAND.   33  Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! 34  “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” 35  “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” 36  For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. Romans 11:33-36 (ESV)      

A Devotional Study on the Attributes of God 1. The Solitariness of God "Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God." — Psalm 90:2 Before there was time, before there was light, before there was an angel in Heaven or a speck of dust in the cosmos—God was. He dwelt in solitary majesty, needing nothing, lacking nothing, desiring nothing outside Himself. He was eternally perfect in all His glorious attributes. There was no heaven for Him to inhabit, no earth to govern, no creatures to praise Him—and yet He was altogether blessed. 2. The Decrees of God "The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations." — Psalm 33:11 Before the foundation of the world, in the infinite recesses of eternity, God established His eternal decrees. These decrees are the manifestation of His sovereign will, the blueprint by which all creation unfolds. They are not formed in response to events, for nothing takes the Omniscient by surprise. Instead, they are the cause of all that transpires, the predetermined plan that governs the universe. 3. The Knowledge of God "Great is our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit." — Psalm 147:5 The knowledge of God is infinite, perfect, and eternal. There is no learning with God, for He has always known all things. He never discovers, never forgets, never improves in understanding. His knowledge is not acquired—it is essential to His very nature. He knows Himself fully and knows all things outside Himself perfectly, from eternity past to eternity future. 4. The Foreknowledge of God "For those

Pink Broadcaster: Grace Audio Treasures Event: Devotional Date: 4/24/2025 Bible: Romans 8:29; Amos 3:2 Length: 3 min.

"For those whom God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son." Romans 8:29To "foreknow," in the language of Scripture, is far more than mere foresight. It is not a passive awareness of future events, as though God simply looked down the corridors of time to discover who would believe. No! God's foreknowledge is sovereign, intimate, and effectual. It means that He set His love upon His chosen ones from all eternity. He foreknew because He foreordained; He foreordained because He delighted to do so according to His good pleasure.When the Lord declared, "You only have I known of all the families of the earth" (Amos 3:2), He meant, "You only have I loved and chosen." To be foreknown by God is to be the object of His everlasting affection—personally, purposefully, and eternally. It is not that He saw something in us worth loving, but that He loved us because He chose to do so. His love is not reactive; it is causative. It is not drawn forth by anything in us, but flows solely from the depths of His sovereign grace.If God's foreknowledge were dependent upon our future faith, then salvation would ultimately rest upon man. But Scripture allows no such thought. The Lord is not a spectator in redemption—He is the Author. His foreknowledge is not based on human decisions, but upon His eternal decree. He has chosen His people in Christ before the foundation of the world, and He is conforming them to the image of His Son, to the praise of His glorious grace.How this truth humbles the sinner, and exalts the Savior! Why am I in Christ today? Not because I was more inclined, more teachable, or more spiritual—but because God, in His infinite mercy, set

Many preachers and Bible teachers have defined God's foreknowledge as simply his ability to know all things in advance before they happen. They may say God looked down the corridor of time to see who would respond in faith to the gospel, and predestined them to salvation on that basis. But is this a biblically accurate view of the foreknowledge of God? What does the Word of God actually teach about this important subject? Find out on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Click HERE to listen!  In this episode, we explore Romans 8:29-30, where Paul reveals the unshakable faithfulness of God's plan for His people. From foreknowing us to calling, justifying, and glorifying us, God's promises are secure—even when life gets tough. We'll dive into the deep assurance that no matter how hard things get, God is faithful to His word, and His purpose for us is certain. Join us as we uncover how this passage reminds us of God's unbreakable commitment to see His work in us completed and how it offers hope and strength in the face of life's challenges. 3 Key Takeaways: God's Foreknowledge and Calling: Before the foundation of the world, God knew us and chose us for His divine purpose, proving that our lives are part of a bigger plan. Justified and Glorified: God is faithful to complete the work He started in us—through Christ, we are justified, and one day we will be glorified in His presence. Unshakable Assurance: No matter how hard life gets, we can trust that God's promises are unchanging and that He will fulfill His word in us, guiding us through every trial.

There are a few instances, some more well known than others, of people seemingly having foreknowledge of the JFK Assassination – meaning that they knew that President Kennedy would be killed before it happened. As we look at these cases, the big questions are whether the alleged foreknowledge was specific and whether the claims about the person having that information are credible.  One recently declassified document hinted at such foreknowledge. It was a letter from CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton to FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover. This memo says that an anonymous caller to a Cambridge, England newspaper said that the reporter should QUOTE “call the American Embassy in London for some big news.” The caller then hung up. What is notable about this call is that it was 25 minutes before President Kennedy was shot in Dallas. It wasn't specifically about President Kennedy, though the timing is close enough to make that inference.  In this episode, we look at 6 more instances of reported foreknowledge of the JFK assassination, including Joseph Milteer, Eugene B. Dinkin, David Christensen, William Walter, Rose Cherami, and Richard Case Nagell.Twitter - https://twitter.com/solvingjfk Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/solvingjfk Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/solvingjfkpodcast Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@solvingjfk Transcripts and Sources - https://www.solvingjfkpodcast.com

Question: How can you believe both in God's foreknowledge and that man has the power of choice? If God knows ahead of time that Mr. A is going to do something, how can Mr. A decide for himself? Isn't foreknowledge the same as predestination?Response: The biblical doctrine of foreknowledge simply states that God knows everything that will happen before it happens—which, as God, He must know. Prophecy, in which God reveals His foreknowledge, is the major part of Scriptures, the great proof that God exists and that the Bible is His Word (Isaiah 42:9; 43:10; 46:9-10; 48:5, etc.). Prophecy is also the foundation of the gospel (Romans 1:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, etc.). Scripture never says or even implies that God knows all beforehand because He has caused it—much less that He must cause it in order to know it. The future is as plain to Him as the past. The future is part of time, which is part of this physical universe. God is not part of the universe (which He created out of nothing), but He is separate from it. Perhaps He observes the universe from the outside including past, present, and future time, seeing it all at once. It is not necessary for us to know how God knows the future but we know He must.
