In today's episode, Dr. John examines Israel's persistent struggle with idolatry, focusing on their rebellion at Mount Sinai. Though God's command against idol-making seemed simple, Israel repeatedly turned to false gods. Dr. John unpacks why they did this, the consequences they faced, and what this means for us today.Living the Moral Law: A Guide for Every Generation: We begin a new series on Deuteronomy 5-11 entitled, "Living the Moral Law: A Guide for Every Generation." Before Israel entered the Promised Land, Moses reminded them of God's Covenant and instructed them to adhere to God's Law, which is absolute and perfect. The blessings of the land would only be fulfilled when Israel lived according to God's Word. The law does not supress life's joy; it releases it. It's a lesson for us today.

Join Pastor Jon Benzinger in this thought-provoking episode as he sits down with Dr. Mark Ward, a New Testament scholar with a PhD from Bob Jones University, to dive deep into the King James Only (KJV) movement. On the Redeeming Truth podcast, Dr. Ward highlights why some believe the KJV is the only inspired translation—viewing it as the unadulterated Word of God—and why this perspective can be divisive and limiting. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The KJV-Only Belief: Understand the roots of the KJV-only stance and why its proponents hold the King James Version as the singular, authoritative Bible translation. The Case Against Exclusivity: Hear Dr. Ward explain how insisting on one version can hinder believers' access to God's Word, potentially creating barriers to understanding. Modern Translations Matter: Learn about the importance of having Bible translations that are clear, intelligible, and accessible and why modern English versions can coexist with the KJV. Navigating Controversial Language: Explore the challenges posed by some of the language and rhetoric used by KJV advocates and how this impacts both theological discourse and community unity. Whether you're a long-time follower of the KJV movement or just curious about the dynamics of Bible translations, this episode offers valuable insights and a balanced perspective on how we engage with Scripture today.

Sometimes Christians think the answer to all the chaos in the world is ensuring that more and more believers take significant roles within government and become political leaders. If only Christians were in power, we wouldn't find ourselves in such a mess. But is that necessarily true? This idea of Christian nationalism has been believed to be the answer. The reality is, at its core, Christian nationalism is idolatry. How do we navigate this if we live in a Christian nationalist country?

They explore biblical perspectives on honoring political leaders, the unconventional governance style of Trump, and the polarized public perception surrounding him. The conversation highlights the contrasting reactions from conservatives, ranging from staunch support to critical opposition, and examines the underlying reasons for the widespread dislike of Trump, including his demeanor and political stances. In this conversation, Pastor Tim and Bible Bashed discuss the current political landscape in America, focusing on the polarization surrounding Trump and his policies. They explore the implications of DEI initiatives, the abortion debate, and the perception of Trump as a controversial figure. The discussion also touches on the idolatry surrounding Trump among some conservatives and the need for a critical perspective on political support. Takeaways The Bible encourages respect for political leaders. Trump's actions have been seen as a refreshing change. Many conservatives feel Trump is getting things done. Public perception of Trump is heavily influenced by his demeanor. Critics often focus on Trump's lack of political correctness. Evangelicals may struggle with supporting a controversial figure. The left's reaction to Trump is rooted in their values. Conservative reactions to Trump vary widely among different groups. Trump's America First agenda challenges traditional liberal views. The political landscape has shifted significantly under Trump's influence. One of the best things he did was shine a spotlight on DEI. The country is very polarized with clear battle lines. There's a lot of self-loathing in America regarding its heritage. The abortion issue is a narrow subset of concerns among Christians. Many conservatives fail to realize how small their echo chamber is. Christians on the left do not engage in the same apologetic behavior. The left's totalitarian approach seeks to dominate and make others submit. Not all conservatives need to distance themselves from extreme views. The perception of Trump as a savior figure is problematic. It's important to critically assess political support without idolizing figures.

In this episode of 'Spiritual Brain Surgery,' Dr. Lee Warren and his co-host Tata discuss the importance of maintaining faith during hard times, and a surprising lesson on how God loves us and how he can't stand it when we suffer because of sin from Judges 10:16. Set against the serene backdrop of a wintery Sunday afternoon by the North Platte River, the conversation delves into the Bible, highlighting lessons from the book of Judges and Ruth. They explore how the Israelites repeatedly turned to idols despite God's persistent guidance and how this reflects our modern struggles with faith and sin. The discussion underscores the need for self-examination, reliance on God, and the power of redemption through Jesus. The episode also includes shout-outs to listeners Lori and Rodney, sharing their challenges and seeking divine guidance amidst grief and loss. Dr. Warren wraps up by emphasizing the transformative power of changing one's mind to change one's life.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Spiritual Brain Surgery00:48 A Chilly Sunday Afternoon01:36 Listener Shoutout and Encouragement02:16 Discussing the Book of Ruth and Judges03:14 The Israelites' Rebellion and Idolatry07:13 Lessons from the Old Testament10:31 Understanding Sin and God's Nature12:35 God's Mercy and Human Weakness18:02 Living to Please God19:03 Understanding God's Nature19:31 The Role of Jesus as Our Redeemer21:19 The Power of Calling Out to God25:09 The Importance of Prayer and Surrender30:02 Dealing with Loss and Seeking Answers35:41 Final Reflections and EncouragementResources and Links:Our sponsor for this episode is TImeline: Visit timeline.com, and use the discount code leewarren for 10% off your first order of MitoPure!My book, 2021 ECPA Memoir/Biography of the Year, I've Seen the End of YouBe sure to check out my latest book, Hope Is the First Dose!Sign up for my weekly Self-Brain Surgery Newsletter here!

In this sermon by Chris Romig, the focus is on the letter to the church at Smyrna from the Book of Revelation, emphasizing the steadfast faith and tribulations of early Christians engulfed by a culture of paganism and emperor worship. Pastor Chris highlights how Jesus reassures the Smyrnans that, despite their suffering and poverty, they are spiritually rich. He encourages them to remain faithful, promising the reward of the crown of life and deliverance from the "second death." Chris underscores essential Christian doctrines, such as the divinity of Jesus Christ and the truth of His Resurrection, warning against modern progressive theology that seeks to undermine these foundational beliefs. He asserts the biblical teaching of two eternal destinies, heaven and hell, urging believers to hold fast to the core tenets of their faith. Addressing the theme of suffering, Chris refutes the prosperity gospel, emphasizing that faithful followers of Christ are not spared from pain and challenges. Instead, God values holiness over temporal happiness, promising eternal rewards for those who endure tribulations with faith. Chris concludes by drawing inspiration from Athanasius, an early church father known for his defense of Christian truth against heresy. He offers a prayer for courage and faithfulness, highlighting the legacy of past and present believers who remain steadfast in their faith. The sermon reassures Christians that God's promises are true and that His presence guides them through every trial, just as it did for the faithful Smyrnans.

Her book, "Unearthing Yoga's Ancient Roots"  take us on an in-depth tour of its dark history. Yoga is considered by many in the church as a grey area. When it comes to practices like this, which is Hinduism no matter how Christians justify or sanitize it, we must be extra careful to guard our hearts and minds - and choose wisely when bringing these things into the church. Is it a philosophy? Idolatry? Stretching exercises to keep our temple limber?  A question of balance, as the pop tune goes? Alana has carefully parsed out the dangers to the church regarding the roots, the branches and the fruit of this practice. She has done the church a great service in connecting the dots between the lie in the garden and what churches think is just "exercise".

We’ve been walking through a series called Three Funerals From Revival. If revival is a life lived in pursuit of the glory of God, then there are some things that cannot coexist with that desire. Some things must die in order for us to see God’s glory. Over the past two weeks, we’ve seen that pride and religion must die. This week, we’re going to find out why Jezebel must die. There are only around 40 or 50 verses in the whole Bible about Jezebel, but the depth of her depravity and cold-hearted evil certainly left its mark on the world. Jezebel was the daughter of the king of the Sidonians, and Ahab, who was the king of Israel, married her. He gladly imported her idolatry to Israel, and through Jezebel’s influence, it became a state-sponsored religion.

Scripture: Exodus 20:4-6, Psalm 115:4-8, Matthew 6:24, Exodus 18:20, Deuteronomy 24:16, Colossians 3:5 Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before me.”  We are to worship God. Pastor begins today's teaching by talking about the different numbering of the commandments and how it does't matter how we number them, what matters is whether we listen to them and apply them to our lives. Exodus 20:4-5 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.” So is this saying we have to take down pictures on our walls, or throw out figurines?  This is not what God is saying. Pastor shares biblical examples supporting that God is not talking about banning all artwork. What God's talking about is idolatry - something that's become more important to us than He is. What does it mean  -  God is a “jealous God?”  Pastor explains that this doesn't mean God is sinfully jealous. God means that His desire, as our Creator, is that we know Him, worship Him and do not worship other objects or things.  He wants us to worship Him alone and to place nothing else in front of our devotion to Him.  The verse speaks of the “third and fourth generations…” and the consequences of individuals and especially parents, on how setting an example to the children ends up getting passed down to the next generation and the next. This is why it's important to teach them about God and show them by how you live.  Exodus 18:20 says, “Teach them His decrees and instructions, and show them the way they are to live and how they are to behave.”  But if individuals and parents choose not to live in faith to God and instead live as being part of the world, with all its idols, the next generation is taught idolatry and that gets passed down. God says this in Deuteronomy 24:16 says, “Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.”  A child will not be condemned as an idolator if they come to know Jesus as their Savior. God's desire is that all people turn to Him and belong to Him. Idolatry and the consequences of it are important to understand because when we worship God and follow Him, there is an amazing blessing. Exodus 20:6 “but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.” What a powerful promise from our God who is merciful and gracious and who desires to bring blessings upon individuals, families, and generation after generation. IDOLATRY Psalm 115:4-8 summary: Idols are lifeless and they make their worshiper as dead as they are.   We can look at these verses and say as a believer, “I don't have an idol set up in my household. No statues, I don't offer incense before a statue and I don't bow down to poles or chant incantations.”  But… Is there more depth that needs to be understood around the meaning of idolatry? John Calvin's quote: “The human heart is an idol factory.” As part of our fallen nature we worship things over God. There are many contemporary idols. Here's a sampling of six: APPEARANCE - becomes an idol when we're more concerned about how we look, how people perceive us, and how we appear before others, than how we appear before God. There's nothing wrong with looking nice - it's good to take care of ourselves, but appearance can become an idol when its one of the most important things in one's life, outstripping the concern of what God thinks of us. EDUCATION - is a good thing but it can easily become a god in our lives where it becomes the most important thing, where we boast about our educational achievements, or put education above the what and who of God in our lives.  ENTERTAINMENT (sports, music, TV, movies) - can become the most important thing in our lives when we worship what's on the TV screen, worship the latest pop star, when icons are who we dream of or dream of becoming, when we try to look like, talk like, act like them….  Entertainment can become an abject of worship that crowds God out of our lives or reduces Him to an after thought. MONEY - can become a dominant force in our lives.  Matthew 6:24 says we cannot serve both God and money. The love of money - greed - can become our motivating source for our actions, desires, our future, our work and God ends up being left behind. POWER - is the desire for influence, to be recognized by others, to be in control, but God is the One who is in control. We are to serve and respond to Him through faith in Him, not faith in ourselves. SEX - It's morally neutral but can become an idol, especially in our sexually crazed environment today: wide spread pornography, sexual immorality not just winked at but encouraged. However, sex is a gift from God for procreation, intimacy and joy.  The Scriptures say we are not to worship an idol - instead we are to worship God alone as it says in Colossians 3:5 “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.”  Martin Luther says, “We should fear, love and trust in God above all things.” God is good and because He is, let us respond in repentance and believe in Jesus whose death covers our sin and who we know is coming back so that we will live forever with Him. Therefore my desire is to fear, love and trust in Him above ALL things! Now What? Learn about God at  https://www.awakeusnow.com EVERYTHING we offer is FREE.

Spencer Klavan, author of “Light of the Mind, Light of the World,” issues a powerful call to action for Christians in America: stop refuting, start asserting. Meaning, Christians no longer need to refute The Left's materialist idea that humans are merely atomic matter. Instead, we must assert that we believe in something greater: a God-given spirit that enriches our lives. The question is, how do we unlock the fruits of that spirit? Spencer and I hope to shed some light on this question. - - -  Today's Sponsor: ExpressVPN - Get up to 4 Months FREE of ExpressVPN: https://expressvpn.com/klavan
