Today is day 266 and we are studying The Ten Commandments. 266. How do the Ten Commandments help you to grow in likeness to Christ? They reveal my sin in the light of God's righteousness, guide me to Christ, and teach me what is pleasing to God. (Deuteronomy 4:32–40; Psalms 19; 119:127–35, 169–76; Galatians 3:19–26; James 1:21–25; 2:8–13) We will conclude today by praying the Collect for Faith found on page 50 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

“Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word.” (Psalm 119:67 NIV) If God is good, why does He allow suffering? Chances are good that you’ve heard—and asked—that question before. You may be asking it now if you’re struggling with health issues. Or if you’ve lost a loved one. Or if your marriage is falling apart. Or if you’re having financial difficulties. Or if you’ve watched a natural disaster unfold. Maybe you’ve personalized the question and asked, “Why did God allow that to happen to me?” Our human intellect and notions of fairness reject the apparent contradiction between a loving God and a world of hate, pain, and misery. The classic statement of the problem goes like this: Either God is all-powerful but not all good and therefore doesn’t stop evil, or He is all good but not all-powerful and therefore can’t stop evil. Whichever way you come down on the issue, the general tendency is to blame God for all the bad things that happen in the world. The reality is that, in a broad sense, sickness, suffering, disabilities, misery, and even death are the results of sin. Not necessarily the results of a personal sin that someone commits, but the results of the existence of sin. You see, God’s original plan was that these bodies of ours would never wear out. They would never wrinkle….I would still have hair on my head. But because sin entered the world, we have aging and diminished abilities. We have disease and death. Bad things happen when people make the wrong choices. We might ask why God didn’t make us so that we couldn’t sin. The answer is that He gave us free will to make our own decisions. In many ways, free will is our greatest blessing and our greatest curse, depending on what we do with it. But God doesn’t want us to love Him in a pre-programmed way. Love isn’t genuine if there’s no other option. God wants us to choose to love Him. The flip side is that we have the option to make the wrong choice. We can choose to reject God and pursue sin. God will make us aware of our wrong choices. He will show us the paths He would have us travel. But He will allow us to do what we choose. In Deuteronomy 30:19–20, He says, “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life” (NLT). When we choose something other than life, as described in this passage, we open the door to suffering—in our lives and in the world around us. But in His mercy and wisdom, God uses suffering to get our attention and direct us back to Him and the life He offers. The psalmist wrote, “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word” (Psalm 119:67 NIV). C. S. Lewis said, “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” God works through our suffering to remind us how much we need Him.

Intergenerational discipleship is the intentional passing on of faith, wisdom, and life experience from one generation to another. Rooted in biblical principles—such as Paul's encouragement to Timothy and the call in Deuteronomy 6 to teach children diligently—this approach bridges the gap between young and old, creating spiritual family beyond biological ties.   Featured Speaker Dr. Chris Harper   At the Discipling Men Conference presented by discipleship.org Betterman.com renew.org 

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe reflects on the approaching Rosh Hashanah, just two days away, emphasizing it as a time to realign with one's purpose and mission in life. He encourages listeners to evaluate their goals for the new year, citing his own experience of surpassing ambitious goals from the previous year as evidence of divine assistance when one commits to meaningful objectives. Drawing from the Mesillat Yesharim by the Ramchal, Rabbi Wolbe underscores the importance of cleaving to Hashem by aligning personal will with divine will, as exemplified by Moshe, described as a servant of Hashem in his eulogy. He explains that repentance (teshuvah) involves removing barriers like arrogance, comforts, and distractions (e.g., social media, gaming) that separate us from Hashem, returning to a state of oneness akin to a fetus in the womb, unburdened by physical limitations. Referencing Parshas Nitzavim, he highlights the verse (Deuteronomy 30:11-14) that the mitzvah—interpreted by Rashi as Torah study and by the Ramban as teshuvah—is accessible through the heart and mouth, requiring desire and effort. Rabbi Wolbe shares personal anecdotes, like his struggle to master drumming rhythms and his initial intimidation teaching complex prayers, to illustrate that persistent effort, even in the face of doubt, leads to divine clarity and success. He stresses the importance of accepting rabbinic guidance humbly, even when disagreeing, and critiques congregational disregard for rabbis' spiritual leadership. Finally, he connects the numerical value of “this mitzvah” (zot, 408) to teshuvah, tefillah, and tzedakah (fasting, prayer, charity), which remove evil decrees, sharing a donor's perspective that charity is giving God's money, reinforcing divine trust. Rabbi Wolbe concludes with a blessing for a year of health, clarity, and Torah study, urging listeners to recognize Hashem as the source of all creation.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on September 12, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on September 14, 2025_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Today is day 265 and we are studying The Ten Commandments. 265. How do the Ten Commandments help you to resist evil? They teach me that God judges the corrupt affections of this fallen world, the cruel strategies of the devil, and the sinful desires of my own heart; and they teach me to renounce them. (Deuteronomy 8; Psalm 19:7–14; John 16:7–15; Romans 2:1–16) We will conclude today by praying the Collect for the Third Sunday in Lent found on page 606 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

In this teaching, Servant Marcia Carty shares a timely message for believers living in a world that is increasingly chaotic and challenging. She draws a parallel between our current times and the days of Noah, highlighting the violence, lack of love, and moral decline that Jesus foretold. Carty provides a three-part framework for how believers can not only endure but thrive in these times. The three main points covered are: -- Be Strong in the Lord: Carty emphasizes that being strong is an act of faith, requiring us to trust that God is with us and will not fail or forsake us. Citing Moses' charge to Joshua, she explains that this strength comes from knowing God's greatness and His power to make the impossible possible. She encourages listeners to stand firm and to remember God's promises for their lives, their careers, and their ministries. -- Rest in the Lord: Resting in the Lord is a core component of this message. Carty explains that this rest comes from entering into God's presence and trusting in His promises, which is the antidote to fear and unbelief. She warns against hardening our hearts, as the Israelites did, which led to their being unable to enter into God's rest. -- Strategize: The final, and equally important, point is to strategize. Carty uses the examples of King David's counsel to Solomon and the disciples helping Paul escape to illustrate that being strong and trusting in God doesn't mean we should be passive. She encourages believers to pray for divine strategy, to put on the full armor of God as described in Ephesians, and to use the minds God has given them to navigate conflicts and challenges.

Today is day 264 and we are studying The Ten Commandments. 264. How should you understand the Ten Commandments? I should understand them as God's righteous rules for life in his kingdom: basic standards for loving God and my neighbor. In upholding them, I bear witness with the Church to God's righteousness and his will for a just society. (Deuteronomy 4:1–8; Psalm 119:137–44, 160; Matthew 5:17–48; Romans 7:7–12; 13:8–10) We will conclude today by praying the Collect for All Saints' Day found on page 633 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God. . . . — Deuteronomy 6:4-5 I worked in a grocery store when I was in high school. Back then, the prices of products were on stickers, and a cashier had to key the numbers in. Sometimes the sticker would be missing, and the cashier would call for a price check. It was part of my job to run to the shelf where the product came from and find the price. On busy Saturdays with lots of customers and cashiers, it often happened that a cashier would call my name several times before I would hear it. I thought something was wrong with my hearing. So I went to an ear doctor and discovered that my hearing was fine. The problem was not with my ears; it was me. That experience showed me how easily I could tune out important messages. Today is the day for Sabbath rest and worship. It is a day to pause, quiet ourselves, and listen for God's gentle, life-giving voice. Today's passage from Deuteronomy 6, called the “Shema” in Hebrew, was often recited by God's people several times a day. Notice how it begins: “Hear, O Israel. . . .” This can be a helpful reminder to pay attention to what we may have tuned out. Let's open our ears today to the message that God is our God, the one true God, who loves us. And may we hear the invitation again to love God with our whole being. Lord, God, it's easy for me to grow inattentive to your voice. Tune my entire life to your voice of love and speak to me today, I pray. Amen.

Jesus Christ, being truly God and truly man, is without sin. The only way to condemn a righteous man is with an unrighteous trial. The chief priests had violated Deuteronomy 16:18-21 while fulfilling Isaiah 50:6. They perverted justice to condemn Jesus to death. Judas betrayed Jesus. Peter denied Jesus, but Jesus willingly went to the cross to fulfill His divine decree, atoning for the sins of the elect. Pastor Dan walks us through the implications of Mathew 26:47-27:10.

In Deuteronomy 1:1-33 we learn that God's work must be done God's way.

And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.3 The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.4 The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,5 (I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you the word of the Lord: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,6 I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.11 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.17 Thou shalt not kill.18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.19 Neither shalt thou steal.20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.22 These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;24 And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, then we shall die.26 For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?27 Go thou near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the Lord our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the Lord said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

Deuteronomy 30 forms the end of a chiasm that began in Genesis 2. In the Garden God presented humanity with a choice between life and death. When we at of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, we chose death for ourselves and our children. In Dt 30, we get a second chance at that choice. In this case Moses explicitly lays out the choice between blessing and curses and between life and death. He then gives us God's preferred solution - choose life - for yourself and for your children.

20 Proverbs 7-8; 05 Deuteronomy 30-34; 06 Joshua 1; 19 Psalms 17-19; 66 Revelation 10-16

In this Reset Friday, Kevin Pannell shares how one jack rabbit can spook a herd of sheep and how the same happens to us when fear, rumors, or groupthink take over. Drawing from Deuteronomy 32:30 and Joyce Meyer's 15 Minutes in the Word, Kevin shows how this plays out at work, in politics, in church, and at home, then offers three ways to stay steady: mindfulness, ownership, and connection.

Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.4 But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;10 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.12 And the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.14 And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.20 But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.21 Furthermore the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:22 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee.24 For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.25 When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, to provoke him to anger:26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.27 And the Lord shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the Lord shall lead you.28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;31 (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?33 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God; there is none else beside him.36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;38 To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever.41 Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;42 That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:43 Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.44 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt.46 On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:47 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,49 And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.

This episode is another installment of our ongoing series, The Power of the Hebrew Months, where we explore the unique spiritual energy of each time in the Jewish calendar. Focusing on Tishrei, Rabbi Pill helps us reframe our relationship with Hashem in healthier, more compassionate terms—like spouses who separate and reconcile, growing closer through the process. Through the scales of judgment, the letter Lamed reaching upward, and the lessons of Ephraim, you'll discover how the High Holidays are less about fear and perfectionism and more about sincere effort, growth, and reconnection. Listeners will walk away with practical insight into approaching Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkos not with dread, but with renewed confidence, joy, and a deeper sense of relationship with their Creator. Join the Conversation! Be part of our growing community—join the Shema Podcast for the Perplexed WhatsApp group to share feedback, discuss episodes, and suggest future topics.

Listen into our mid-week sermon titled "Never Again" preached by Elder Morgan Hunter and brother Avery Posey. This sermon calls believers to live with a Never Again resolve—to put sin, compromise, and the old self to death no matter the trial. Drawing from 1 Samuel 17, and Deuteronomy 13, Elder Morgan and Brother Avery teach that following Christ requires overcoming the lion, the bear, and the giant, obedience to God over flesh, and destroying the enemy with stones.

1 Chronicles 3 records the sons of David and their genealogy through Solomon to Zerubbabel the Governor under the returned exiles from Babylon around 537 BC. Jeconiah was a descendant of king Solomon David's son. But that man was disinherited by the LORD, who said of Jeconiah verses "write this man childless ... no son of his will prosper, nor sit on David's throne verses Jeremiah 22 verses 24-30. The two branches of David's family came together in Zerubbabel by way of a Levirate marriage. Matthew 1 records Jesus' legal right to the throne through Joseph (the guardian of our Lord) as recorded there. Whereas Luke 3 records Mary's genealogy and therefore that our Lord Jesus Christ's actual ancestral line through Nathan David's son. In Ezekiel 16 we have a description of Israel Yahweh's faithless wife. Her descent is said, spiritually, to be from Amorite stock - the earliest of the Canaanitish nations (meaning "great of mouth") and the Amorites were of giant stature as Deuteronomy tells us. Israel's father is said to be a Hittite from the powerful kingdom of the Hathi originally in Turkey and among the mightiest empires of that time - rivalling Egypt. Yahweh Israel's Sovereign Lord had pity on His people and took her unto Himself as His wife in love. How did Israel repay her God's loving kindness; only by scorning Him and prostituting herself without payment. God would judge her as the profligate covenant breaker that she was. But her younger sister, Judah, behaved no better. The Almighty describes them as being of the same sisterhood as Sodom, whose abominable lewdness was legendary. Nonetheless the time would come when the repentant daughters would again be covenanted by the everlasting kindness of Yahweh in the Kingdom of His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. In Luke 12 the Lord counsels regarding the destructive teachings of the Pharisees. Our Lord Jesus says to his followers to have no fear when they are tried and killed by the religious authorities. This is because our Father has power over everything - including life and death. When giving testimony before rulers believers would be aided in their witness. In the parable in this chapter of the rich fool (based on the life of Nabal in 1 Samuel 25) our Lord refuses to arbitrate in a property dispute between two brothers. Instead, Jesus turns the opportunity into a discussion about the dangers of covetousness and the need to be rich in loving service to God at all times. Christ urges the disciples to be free from anxiety. Look at nature and the Almighty's abundantly providing out of His richness. Disciples need, as wise and faithful servants, to be in a state of continual readiness for their Lord's coming. A constant challenge for disciples is that often times family opposition will be the result of a person's acceptance of Christ. As disciples we must be alert to the era in which we live. Our Master is standing at the doorpost of our hearts and knocking Revelation 3 verses 20-21. Finally, if believers find themselves in a dispute, they need to quickly reach agreement with their adversaries, or the results may be much worse.

We had Pete Enns back on the stream to dive deeper into questions from his "God of Justice" lecture, and man, did we get into some rich territory. Pete walked us through the fascinating tension between Deuteronomy 17's positive view of kingship versus First Samuel 8's harsh warnings - showing how the Bible itself contains multiple voices wrestling with power and justice rather than giving us simple answers. We explored why some Christians see social justice as heresy (spoiler: it's rooted in centuries of individualistic gospel interpretation), how the biblical texts often reflect hindsight commentary on failed systems rather than predictive prophecy, and why our modern drive for binary, black-and-white answers actually misses the beautiful complexity that makes scripture so relevant to our messy human experience. Tim and I got into the weeds on deconstruction, the liberating terror of discovering the Bible isn't a rulebook dropped from heaven, and how we might learn to negotiate with ancient texts the way Jesus did - amplifying calls to justice while cutting out the boundary-drawing exclusivity. Plus Pete dropped some wisdom on everything from MAGA theology to why every generation has to figure out what it means to "take up your cross" in their own time and place.

“Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.” We've all heard the phrase—but what does it actually mean in the Bible? In this episode, Mike Tolliver and Dr. Dru Johnson unpack the principle of Talion—Lex Talionis—and show why it's one of the most misunderstood elements of biblical justice. They trace the concept across Leviticus, Exodus, and Deuteronomy, exploring how this principle wasn't about vengeance or equal retaliation, but a wisdom-guided restraint on power and a warning to those in authority: “Don't abuse the vulnerable.” Far from being a hard legal code, eye-for-eye was a principle, surrounded by interpretive examples—not a statute for rigid enforcement. The conversation moves from the Torah to Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5, where Jesus isn't rejecting the Old Testament, but interpreting it through its own inner logic. Jesus deepens the Torah's call: instead of demanding retaliation, he teaches mercy and vulnerability—mirroring the Torah's own ethic of protecting the powerless. From ancient village courts to modern Twitter mobs, this episode challenges us to rethink how justice, mercy, and retaliation intersect in biblical ethics—and in our own lives.

Public schools in California and other progressive states are no longer simply teaching academics, they're actively stripping parents of their God-given role. From hiding critical information about gender identity, to promoting LGBT curriculum, to allowing abortion pills for minors without parental consent, the state is claiming authority over your children's hearts, minds, and bodies. In this episode of Date Night with the Woods, we unpack the biblical mandate for parents to be the primary disciplers of their children (Deuteronomy 6, Proverbs 22, Ephesians 6), and we expose how modern legislation is undermining that role. We'll also share practical options for homeschooling, private schooling, and church-based education, and encourage moms and dads who feel overwhelmed by this fight.Chat with Bre on Instagram @datenightwiththewoods Follow Tony on Instagram @drtonygwood For videos, old episodes, blog posts, events, and more www.datenightfam.org Pre-order Tony & Bre's NEW Little Red Book of Marriage and Family!https://a.co/d/drabc8V

What kind of legacy will you leave? In this message, Pastor Troy Smothermon reminds us that a true legacy is more than just memories, it's about lasting impact.Legacy doesn't happen by accident. It takes intentionality, like Ephesians 5:15-16 reminds us, and it's built on a foundation of faith and obedience to God's Word. Hebrews 11:4 and Deuteronomy 6:6-7 show us that our faith and choices today echo into the future.A godly legacy also means investing in others, passing down what God has done in your life so the next generation can know Him too. We are call to build people, not just things.Your daily choices shape the story future generations will tell. Let's be intentional to leave a legacy that points to Jesus.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --The Principle of Ownership in Parenting: A Biblical ApproachOne of the greatest responsibilities a parent has is to raise children who are equipped to navigate the world with strong, biblically grounded values. A fundamental principle of parenting is the idea of “ownership”—that the ultimate goal is for our children to leave home with the values we have instilled in them firmly rooted in their hearts. This means moving from a phase where they "rent" these values—temporarily adopting them while under our guidance—to a place where they "own" them, making those values personal, enduring, and guiding their decisions as independent adults.The Biblical Foundation of OwnershipScripture provides a foundation for this principle, particularly in passages that emphasize training, teaching, and passing on faith to the next generation. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it." This well-known verse reflects the heart of biblical parenting—intentional training in godly ways. However, for this promise to hold true, children must internalize the faith and values taught to them. They must “own” these teachings so that they continue to live by them when parents are no longer watching.Moses also spoke about this principle in Deuteronomy 6:6-7: “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” The goal is not merely that children hear the commandments but that they become imprinted on their hearts. Moses was calling parents to make God's truth a natural part of everyday life, ingraining it deeply in their children so that it would influence them long after they left their parents' homes.From Renters to OwnersA crucial distinction for parents to understand is the difference between children being "renters" of values versus being "owners." As long as children are under our care, there is a temptation to assume that because they obey the rules, they are fully committed to the values behind those rules. However, rented values are often temporary—children follow them when it's convenient, but they haven't necessarily embraced them as their own. The danger is that when parents are no longer present to enforce those values, the children may abandon them.Ownership, on the other hand, happens when children take personal responsibility for their beliefs and decisions. When children “own” the values you've taught them, they continue to live by those values even when no one is watching. In Luke 6:45, Jesus says, “For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” The values in their hearts will naturally influence their words and actions. True ownership transforms these values...

In this closing episode of the Merkavah Series, we explore Malchus as the culmination of all the Sefiros where everything we've built within ourselves is finally brought into relationship with another, creating something new that did not exist before. Rabbi Meisel shows how Dovid HaMelech embodies this quality by becoming the vessel through which Hashem's kingship is revealed in the world. Learning about Malchus teaches us that the deepest fulfillment comes when we empty ourselves to receive from Hashem and then channel that shefa outward into our marriages, our communities, our work by attuning to what others truly need.Join the Conversation! Be part of our growing community—join the Shema Podcast for the Perplexed WhatsApp group to share feedback, discuss episodes, and suggest future topics.

“Encourage him.” — Deuteronomy 1:38 God employs His people to encourage one another. He did not say to an angel, “Gabriel, my servant Joshua is about to lead my people into Canaan — go, encourage him.” God never works needless miracles; if His purposes can be accomplished by ordinary means, He will not use miraculous […]

Wouldn't it be nice if you could always trust what people say to you? What happened to the sentiment that you are only as good as your word? Can you be trusted?They utter mere words; with empty oaths they make covenants; so judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the fields. Hosea 10:4This passage from Hosea is interesting.  Israel has strayed from the Lord.  They've gotten too comfortable. A symptom, or a side effect I should say, of the complacency and faithlessness/disregard to the Lord is that their words no longer mean anything.  They are taking credit for all their good fortune.  Not only that, but they are also thanking and building altars to other gods.  This is a real slippery slope. One of those situations that starts as a small snowball but ends up being as big as an elephant careening down a mountain taking out everything in its path. Moses warned of this way back in Deuteronomy. (8:11-20) He told the Israelites to not forget what God had done for them.  Forgetting the lessons from the wilderness opens the door to pride. When you forget you allow room for the false idea that maybe it was you that did it all. You made it by your own strength and intelligence.  You are a great problem solver. You are independent.  Look what you did!  Continue reading the rest of this shows notes on our website Nothin' But Fine.Subscribe to our YouTube channel where you can watch this week's episode and catch up on past episodes! ---Check out the Nothin' But Fine blog and website.Follow us on social media: Instagram Facebook Twitter YouTube Want everything in your inbox?
