Although God in them requires universal holiness of us, yet he does not do it in that strict and rigorous way as by the law, so as that if we fail in any thing, either as to the matter or manner of its performance, in the substance of it or as to the degrees of its perfection, that thereon both that and all we do besides should be rejected. But he does it with a contemperation of grace and mercy, so as that if there be a universal sincerity, in a respect to all his commands, he both pardons many sins, and accepts of what we do, though it come short of legal perfection; both on the account of the mediation of Christ.

In our series on holiness, we continue to wrestle with the temptation to believe that we can become holy by simply trying harder. We are indeed commanded, "be holy, for I Am holy." But we often confuse terms like "righteousness", "holiness", and "sanctification" What's the difference? The importance of understanding this goes beyond proper terminology; it is practical, and it is life changing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Holiness is not just a word. It means so much more. Leviticus 15 confronts a reality most people would rather ignore. God exposes uncleanness and forces His people to deal with it before coming into His presence. In other words, you've been caught dirty. Now face it.

As social media becomes a primary source of information and communication, believers are called to stand out as light in a world filled with noise, opinions, and misinformation. Through Scripture, Pastor Brenda teaches how our words, posts, and online interactions should reflect the heart of God and further His Kingdom. Don't miss this powerful teaching!

God wants us to please Him and understand His will. Nothing can cloud clarity and experiencing God’s love than getting into sin. Sin keeps us in darkness while holiness brings the light. As we move toward holiness we can walk exactly and understand the will of God.

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 Daily Radio Bible for March 13th, 2025! In today's episode, Hunter guides us through day 73 of our journey in the scriptures, inviting us to gather with brothers and sisters from around the globe and warm our hearts by the fires of God's love. We read through Deuteronomy chapters 22–24 and conclude with Galatians 4, reflecting on the demands of the Law and the liberating grace found in Christ. Together, we'll explore themes of justice, compassion, and responsibility—from caring for neighbors and strangers, to the hard truths of Deuteronomy and the freeing message in Paul's letter to the Galatians. Hunter encourages us to set aside legalism, embrace our adoption as God's children, and rejoice in the freedom and forgiveness given to us. We'll finish with heartfelt prayers, a reminder of the importance of community, and gratitude for the partners who make this podcast possible. So take a moment to pause, join in the journey, and let the message of God's love and joy renew your spirit today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Set Free Many of us have not been free, and many of us have been sentimental legalists. You know, we flatter ourselves and think that we are better and more righteous than we really are. And that's why Paul says in verse 21, "Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says?" And the answer to that question would be no. The demands of the Law are impossible. It is downright hard to read sometimes. Breaking the Law warrants death. And if you want to get sobered up to the demands of the Law and the judgment due us because of it, you do not have to go much further than our reading in Deuteronomy today. So, let us do our best to ditch that sentimental, self-righteous fantasy that we are somehow able to pull this thing off, because we're not. Holiness is so far out of reach of my flesh that I'd sooner turn into a unicorn than a saint if it were up to my effort to be holy. But thanks be to God, the right standing that I couldn't achieve has been achieved and purchased for me. By the one and only man, Christ Jesus himself. He did achieve this spotless life. His sacrifice of death for people like you and me has not only set us free from the penalty of sin, but he has given us his Spirit so that we can live this life now in him. He has made us his children. We've been adopted. This whole glorious transaction creates a new desire within us and a new cry within us that says, "Abba, Father! Father, you, not I." There is new life and there is real freedom. But don't be fooled into sentimental, legalistic, powerless living. Instead, embrace your sonship. Wake up to the power that now resides in you, the Holy Spirit. Rejoice daily that you are forgiven, that you've been made holy. There's nothing that you've done to achieve that. Allow your eyes to be drawn to the glorious grace that has been given to you in Christ. There's only one glorious man who lived the righteous life, and he lived it for all of us in order that we all might be found in him. The Christian life is impossible apart from Christ, but in Christ, all things are possible. So let's live free today. Let's live in him today, because that is where we are. And the prayer of my own heart is that I will see it. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, 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. 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  

Without a sound Biblical content to the words, "image of God," the term becomes a shibboleth, something of little importance. Without that, today's policy debates become equivocal, and Christians can’t fully appreciate why Paul wrote that “the law is spiritual” (Romans 7:14). So, what is the image of God. That is the focus of today's episode.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

നിങ്ങളുടെ പ്രാർത്ഥനകൾക്ക് മറുപടി ലഭിക്കാത്തത് എന്തുകൊണ്ട്? | Why Are Your Prayers Not Being Answered? | The Trap Of Hidden Sin | Br. Damien Antony | Morning Glory Podcast - 1865In this Malayalam Christian Devotional Message, we dive deep into the theme of Holiness, inspired by Leviticus 19:2: "Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy." Holiness is not just about following a set of rigid rules; it is about reflecting the very nature of God in our daily lives. While God possesses attributes we cannot share - like being all-powerful and eternal - He calls us to share in His holiness and faithfulness.Key Takeaways from Today's Session:

The mainstream church doesn't want to talk about judgment, but the Bible won't stop.

Do you struggle when someone believes something about you that isn't true? Do you feel the need to correct them… defend yourself… convince them… make them understand? One of the fastest ways to improve your relationships is this: Let them be wrong about you. In this episode, we talk about: Why we desperately want others to understand us How the need to control someone's opinion creates anger and disconnection Why defensiveness damages relationships What true charity looks like in disagreement How the saints handled being misunderstood Why interior peace matters more than being seen as "right" You cannot control what other people think about you. But you can control: What you think How you show up Whether you respond with bitterness or with love Holiness often looks like calm charity when someone misunderstands you. You don't need to posture. You don't need to prove. You don't need to win. You can let them be wrong — and love them anyway. You are called to charity. And charity begins in your thoughts.

Did life turn out the way you imagined it would? Most of us quietly carry two versions of our lives, the ideal one we dreamed about and the messy, imperfect one we actually live. In this Wednesday morning Kabbalah class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores a powerful insight from Parshat Vayakhel–Pekudei and Chassidic teachings: why the Torah repeats the story of the Mishkan twice, and what that reveals about our own lives.Drawing from the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and Tanya, the class examines the difference between the “heavenly sanctuary” of our dreams and the “earthly sanctuary” we build through our struggles, relationships, and imperfections. The surprising message? G-d does not dwell in the perfect life we imagine. G-d dwells in the real life we build.This class offers a calming and empowering perspective: the challenges, disappointments, and imperfections of our lives are not obstacles to holiness… they are the very materials through which we create it.Key TakeawaysEvery person lives with two realities: the life we imagined and the life we are actually living.Western philosophy often values the ideal over the real, but Torah reverses that assumption. The Torah repeats the story of the Mishkan to teach that the earthly sanctuary is not a copy, it is the true destination.G-d's deepest presence is revealed not in perfection, but in the human effort to transform imperfect reality.Your struggles, scars, and disappointments are not detours from your purpose, they are the building blocks of your spiritual home.Holiness is not found in escaping life's imperfections, but in transforming them.True beauty emerges when we build meaning, faith, and love within the life we actually have.#Kabbalah #JewishWisdom #VayakhelPekudei #chassidus #Tanya #spiritualgrowth #purpose #JewishLearning #InnerPeace #FaithInAction #TorahInsights #RabbiBernath #JewishNDG #MeaningfulLife #MindfulLiving Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

If God's will is love, what does it mean to love yourself without sliding into narcissism—or the opposite extreme of self-neglect and self-hatred? Continuing the “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” conversation, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks bring needed nuance: self-love isn't self-worship, and self-denial isn't automatically virtue.They unpack why “harder” is not inherently “better,” why suffering is only meaningful when ordered to a higher purpose (love), and how true humility is simply honesty—being clear about what you're good at and what you're not. The episode reframes self-care as stewardship of your humanity: caring for yourself with the same respect and consistency you'd give a loved one (or even your pet), so you can show up with more freedom, joy, and capacity to serve.Key IdeasOrdered self-love avoids two traps: narcissism (self as god) and self-disregard (treating God's creation as worthless).The Christian goal isn't “maximum suffering”; virtue often makes the good easier, more spontaneous, and more joyful over time.Sacrifice matters—but only when it's for a higher purpose (love of God and neighbor), not as an identity or performance.Humility is honesty: “I'm good at X” isn't pride, and “I'm bad at Y” isn't self-hatred—it's reality.Grow the gifts you actually have, and let that growth expand your ability to love and serve others more effectively.Links & References (official/source only)Dr. Jordan B.

What if the reason we feel stuck isn't a lack of effort, but the wrong target? We take a hard look at moralism—the checklist faith that rushes people through spiritual “levels”—and show why it can't heal the heart. Instead, we trace a slower, deeper path where sin is seen as disordered love and distrust of God, and where union with Christ restores what rules cannot.We start by challenging the fast-track myth and naming pride as the root that feeds so many branches of sin. From there, we reframe three everyday struggles—envy, wrath, and greed—through a practical, pastoral lens. Envy often hides a lie about God's love; we counter it by celebrating others from a place of secure affection in Christ. Wrath thrives on control and vengeance; meekness becomes strength under God's justice, refusing to multiply harm. Greed promises security through possession; generosity, sourced in Jesus rather than habit, trains our trust and loosens our grip. Along the way, we explore how culture normalizes the “religion of self,” why private choices aren't really private in a communal body, and how virtues lose power when detached from the Vine.My hope is that this podcast helps grow your faith and equips you to accomplish your dreams and goals!Follow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookFollow me on TikTok

  Host: Dan Panetti   My very first episode of T4M was about this idea - who is going to pick up the sock in the living room? Yes…that's what men do - they do what needs to be done, even if it comes at a cost to them! Manhood isn't about advancing yourself, but about using the gifts, talents, and resources that you have to advance others!   One man who embodied this concept was General George C. Marshall - and a great book that you can read to learn more about his life, work, and character is Soldier, Statesman, Peacemaker: Leadership Lessons from George C. Marshall by Jack Uldrich.   The quote about Abraham Lincoln that is attributed to Robert G. Ingersoll is “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” Awesome concept that Lincoln lived out so well.   Another great resource to learn more about the concept of humility is Andrew Murray's classic Humility: The Path to Holiness.   And I couldn't remember the title of Tim Keller's awesome (and incredibly short) book on this as well - The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path to True Christian Joy. Trust me, you'll want to read this and give copies to friends!

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030926.cfmFather Matthew Tomeny, MIC, opens with a memorable story from Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who once welcomed a drunk woman into Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. Rather than turning her away, he offered her tea and promised not to ask her to go to confession — until she returned sober and ready to encounter God's mercy.Father Matthew connects this to the Scripture reading of Naaman the leper, who expected an extraordinary cure but was healed by the simple act of dipping seven times in the Jordan River. Salvation does not require grand quests or heroic feats. Instead, the Sacraments of the Church provide the ordinary means by which God cleanses our souls and restores our union with Him.Through Baptism, Jesus washes away our sins. Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, He continues to cleanse us when we fall. And through the Eucharist, we express that communion in the most intimate way possible. Father Matthew emphasizes that holiness is intended for all people, regardless of their past. Just as Archbishop Sheen did not write off the drunk woman, neither should we write off anyone who struggles.Continual repentance—the virtue of penance—keeps our hearts aligned with God's will. When we are in order with God, trials lose their power to derail us. Take advantage of these simple ways to holiness and share that satisfaction with others. ★ Support this podcast ★

In case you missed it, the March/April 2026 issue of Holiness Today came out earlier this month. This edition is a deep dive into the book of Genesis, exploring the foundational stories of our faith and how they continue to shape our journey of holiness. In this issue, we walk through the "days" of the patriarchs and the very beginnings of creation with a powerful lineup of scholars and leaders: Frank Moore explores "The Days of Creation," examining the spiritual insights we can gain from our physical senses. Jim Edlin reflects on "The Days of Adam," reminding us that Adam's story of blessing and brokenness is also our story. Gabriel Benjiman looks at "The Days of Noah," using the ark as a witness to God's gracious invitation. Timothy Green discusses "The Days of Abraham," focusing on the interwoven threads of call, promise, and covenant. Paige Graves examines "The Days of Isaac," describing him as the essential "middleman" of the divine covenant blessing. David Snodgrass writes on "The Days of Jacob," detailing the transformation from a life of striving to one of total dependence on God. T. Scott Daniels concludes the series with "The Days of Joseph," highlighting how God's sovereign love turns harm into global redemption. On this episode, we are featuring the audio from Andy Lauer's "A Word From..." segment. Andy is the lead pastor of South Bend First Church of the Nazarene, and in this talk he discusses how Jesus Christ is present throughout the entire arc of salvation history—notably from the beginning in Genesis. Stay tuned as we listen to Pastor Andy's insights on finding Jesus in the biblical terrain of Genesis. Lifelong Learning Code: 28473 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. TITLE Marriage: Purity INTRODUCTION In this final message of our Marriage series, we tackle a topic that is often avoided in the church but vital to our spiritual health: sexual purity. From singleness to dating and into the covenant of marriage, God's Word provides a clear “blanket” of protection over our bodies and our hearts. We explore how to move away from the “lustful passions” of the world and instead embrace intimacy as the holy, God-given gift it was always intended to be. SCRIPTURE 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 Ephesians 5:3-4 Matthew 5:27-28 Proverbs 5:18-19 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 SERMON POINTS Talk about it! Don’t let the world be the primary teacher for your children; we must bring God's truth into the conversation. Know what the Word says! Scripture calls us to flee from sexual immorality and honor God with our bodies, which are temples of the Holy Spirit. Make it a priority! Within the safety of marriage, intimacy is a gift from God that requires intentionality and self-control to protect the relationship from temptation. CLOSING God's will for your life is holiness. While the world tries to define us by our desires, we are called to be controlled by the Holy Spirit. Whether you are seeking to start fresh today or looking to strengthen your marriage covenant, remember that your body belongs to the Lord. Invite Him to lead you in purity and honor.

Leviticus 16 // Nathan MillerIn this teaching on Leviticus 16, we examine the detailed instructions given to Aaron regarding the Day of Atonement. The sermon explains the gravity of entering behind the veil and the necessity of the sin offering and the burnt offering. A central focus is placed on the two goats: one sacrificed to satisfy justice and the "scapegoat" sent into the wilderness to carry away the guilt of the camp. We discuss how these rituals illustrate his mercy and the lengths he goes to so that his presence can remain among his people. This sermon helps us understand the weight of sin and the beauty of being made clean in his sight.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.03.08

Jesus Followers Should Fear, Respect, and Praise God's Power, Sovereignty, and Holiness; but in Life's Trials They Should “fear not for I {Jesus} am with you always” MESSAGE SUMMARY: You should fear, respect, and praise God's power, Sovereignty, and Holiness; but, as a Jesus Follower, you should “fear not” in life's trials and tribulations or at your time of judgment. As David's praise tells us in Psalms 103:13: “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.”. David models again and again, in Psalms, how we should praise God. For example, in Psalms 146, David says: "Put not your trust in Princes; Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, Oh my soul!". When we are wondering how to praise the Lord, we can read one of David's Psalms to God like David's praises to the Lord in Psalms 112:1-2: “Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments! His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.". Also, we learn in Proverbs 1:7, the “fear of the Lord” and “wisdom” are closely linked: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.". These verses from the Old Testament point to the fear, respect, and praise that God warrants and demands from His power, sovereignty, and Holiness. On the other hand, as we see when the Apostle John quotes Jesus from Revelation 1:17-18, when Jesus, in all His power and Glory, reassures us of God's Grace and His plan for working out the Salvation and Eternal Life for all those that have accepted Jesus as their Savior: “When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, ‘Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.'”.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen.  Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM A CHILD OF GOD. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

Leviticus 16 // Ben BeasleyIn this teaching on Leviticus 16, we examine the detailed instructions given to Aaron regarding the Day of Atonement. The sermon explains the gravity of entering behind the veil and the necessity of the sin offering and the burnt offering. A central focus is placed on the two goats: one sacrificed to satisfy justice and the "scapegoat" sent into the wilderness to carry away the guilt of the camp. We discuss how these rituals illustrate his mercy and the lengths he goes to so that his presence can remain among his people. This sermon helps us understand the weight of sin and the beauty of being made clean in his sight.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new26.03.08

LESSON 67Love Created Me Like Itself.Today's idea is a complete and accurate statement of what you are. This is why you are the light of the world. This is why God appointed you as the world's savior. This is why the Son of God looks to you for his salvation. He is saved by what you are. We will make every effort today to reach this truth about you, and to realize fully, if only for a moment, that it is the truth.In the longer practice period, we will think about your reality and its wholly unchanged and unchangeable nature. We will begin by repeating this truth about you, and then spend a few minutes adding some relevant thoughts, such as:Holiness created me holy.Kindness created me kind.Helpfulness created me helpful.Perfection created me perfect.Any attribute which is in accord with God as He defines Himself is appropriate for use. We are trying today to undo your definition of God and replace it with His Own. We are also trying to emphasize that you are part of His definition of Himself.After you have gone over several such related thoughts, try to let all thoughts drop away for a brief preparatory interval, and then try to reach past all your images and preconceptions about yourself to the truth in you. If Love created you like Itself, this Self must be in you. And somewhere in your mind It is there for you to find.You may find it necessary to repeat the idea for today from time to time to replace distracting thoughts. You may also find that this is not sufficient, and that you need to continue adding other thoughts related to the truth about yourself. Yet perhaps you will succeed in going past that, and through the interval of thoughtlessness to the awareness of a blazing light in which you recognize yourself as Love created you. Be confident that you will do much today to bring that awareness nearer, whether you feel you have succeeded or not.It will be particularly helpful today to practice the idea for the day as often as you can. You need to hear the truth about yourself as frequently as possible, because your mind is so preoccupied with false self-images. Four or five times an hour, and perhaps even more, it would be most beneficial to remind yourself that Love created you like Itself. Hear the truth about yourself in this.Try to realize in the shorter practice periods that this is not your tiny, solitary voice that tells you this. This is the Voice for God, reminding you of your Father and of your Self. This is the Voice of truth, replacing everything that the ego tells you about yourself with the simple truth about the Son of God. You were created by Love like Itself.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

A Word from the Cross MESSAGE SUMMARY: In today's message, we're reminded of the profound truth that Jesus is the answer to the deepest struggles of humanity. We're called to open our eyes to the suffering around us - broken relationships, addictions, financial burdens, and physical ailments. This reflection challenges us to see beyond our own circumstances and recognize the pain in others. The central theme echoes Christ's compassion and His desire for a relationship with each of us. As His body, the church, we're entrusted with the responsibility to extend His love to those in need. This message invites us to consider: How can we be the hands and feet of Jesus in a world crying out for hope and healing?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.

“Affliction, Covering, and National Accountability”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyLeviticus 16 is not ceremony.It is survival law.After the death of Aaron's sons in Leviticus 10, Yahuah establishes the structure that prevents further destruction. Chapters 11–15 defined impurity. Leviticus 16 answers the question: How does a nation remain alive near the Presence?This chapter legislates restricted access, priestly responsibility, blood application, removal of iniquity, commanded affliction, and a statute declared olam, without expiration clause.This is covenant government.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGERestricted Access and SurvivalLeviticus 16:1–2Access to the Most Set-Apart Place is not casual. Even the High Priest is governed. Proximity without order results in death.Preparation and DesignationLeviticus 16:3–10Washing, linen garments, bull for the priest, two goats, lots cast before Yahuah. Authority operates under command, not preference.Blood Within the VeilLeviticus 16:11–19Cleansing of the sanctuary because of the uncleanness and transgressions of Israel. Private sin contributes to collective contamination. The altar is not immune from the people.Confession and RemovalLeviticus 16:20–22All iniquities are confessed and borne away. Cleansing is incomplete if iniquity remains in the camp.Reset and ResidueLeviticus 16:23–28Garments changed. Bodies washed. Contact leaves residue. Holiness requires reset.Affliction and PermanenceLeviticus 16:29–34“This shall be a statute forever.” Olam means no expiration clause. The people are commanded to afflict their souls. Cleansing is paired with humility. Structure preserves those who submit to it.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSHoliness is not casual.Access is governed.Cleansing is structured.Iniquity must be removed.Humility is commanded.Neglect is not harmless.Leviticus 16 teaches that dwelling with Yahuah requires restraint before joy, affliction before celebration, cleansing before tabernacles.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYLeviticus 10Leviticus 11–15Leviticus 23:27–32Numbers 29:7Exodus 30:10Isaiah 58Joel 2Every 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 at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.No CashApp.No PayPal.FINAL WORDAccess is restricted.Blood is applied.Iniquity is removed.The nation humbles itself.Presence dwells where order is honored.Final Heart Check:If cleansing is commanded and affliction is required, are you humbling yourself under covenant structure, or assuming access without restraint?

The Word became flesh to reconcile us with God, to manifest God's love for us, to model holiness, and to make us partakers of the divine nature. We learn that the “Incarnation” refers to the fact that the Son of God assumed human nature in order to accomplish our salvation. Fr. Mike explains that belief in the Incarnation of God is the distinctive sign of Christian faith. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 456-463.

In this episode, Costi Hinn challenges believers to examine their speech and asks whether our words truly reflect a heart transformed by the gospel. Holiness isn't about legalism — it's about love for Christ shaping how we speak every day.

Those who know the blessings of Christ cannot help but bless others with His gospel.
