Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 6 The early church is growing rapidly. This creates a problem where the Greek-speaking believers claim their widows are being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. The apostles respond by having the church choose seven men, full of faith and the Holy Spirit, to oversee the task and ensure fairness among all those in need. The work of these men enables the apostles to remain fully engaged in prayer and preaching. One of the selected men is named Stephen. He is full of grace and power and performs many wonders. He is the first non-apostle in the book of Acts to perform miracles. The Jewish Council falsely accuses him of blasphemy and drags him away. Stephen's face then shines like that of an angel as he prepares to defend himself. God's people care for one another in every possible way. The hungry widows receive food as an essential ministry of the church. It is crucial that this process promotes fairness throughout the fellowship and that no one is overlooked. It is God's will that every child of His is cared for within His family. The apostles appoint leaders to ensure success while they focus on spiritual work. Some will have more physical responsibilities in the kingdom, while others will be spiritual leaders and teachers. Every servant in the kingdom holds significance. We will be known for acts of kindness but also acts of courage among evil men. We must remain full of the Spirit and wisdom in every aspect of discipleship.    Holy Lord, thank You for demonstrating the practical daily love among brethren in the early days of the church. They ensured that every member in need received provisions. We pray for humility and commitment to address the physical and spiritual needs of our fellow brothers and sisters. We also ask You to bless men like the apostles, who devote their time to praying with and teaching others. In whatever roles You assign us in Your Kingdom, lead us to be “full of the Spirit and of wisdom” in all that we do, even when others oppose or malign us.  Thought Questions: -       What needs are ongoing among the Christians where you live? What role has God gifted you to take on in helping them? -       What does it mean to have a “good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom”? How are you developing these traits? -       Opponents of Stephen became aggressive with their actions. Have you ever been treated that way? How do you respond in faith?

Peter confronts them, and both are struck dead by God, instilling fear throughout the church. Meanwhile, the apostles continue to preach about Jesus and heal many who are sick. Motivated by jealousy, the high priest and the Jewish Council arrest the apostles. However, God sends an angel to release them, and they return to the temple to resume their teaching. They are brought before the Council again but boldly proclaim that they must obey God and teach about Jesus as the risen Savior and King. Gamaliel, a Pharisee, warns that opposing these men could mean standing against God. The apostles are beaten and released but rejoice in their suffering and continue to preach about Jesus openly.  God values honesty, integrity, and sincerity among His people. The deaths of Ananias and Sapphira remind us that we cannot hide anything from God, and when we commit to Him, He expects faithfulness. It may be that these two sought recognition like Barnabas received but lacked the genuine faith to carry out the act of charity. In contrast, the apostles demonstrate self-sacrifice and unwavering commitment to the Savior. They were willing to bear the cost and even rejoiced in the opportunity to suffer as Christ did. God protected them and used their faith to encourage and help others. The opposition faltered in the face of their dedication to Christ. God will also be with us if we show authentic faithfulness. Faithful God, we know that You expect honesty and integrity from Your children. Please forgive our selfishness and hypocrisy. Help us learn from the failings of Ananias and Sapphira and take our commitment to You seriously. Discipline us to live like the apostles, actively assisting others and remaining steadfast in our vocal allegiance to King Jesus. Civil authorities and even religious leaders may oppose our simple, trusting faith. Lord, help us declare, “We must obey God rather than men,” and continue teaching repentance and the forgiveness of sins through Jesus. Train us to be joyful and confident in our Christian walk.  Thought Questions: -       Why did Ananias and Sapphira lie about the money they gave? How do you keep greed from getting in the way of faithfulness? -       Even the shadow of Peter healed people as he walked by. Do you believe in God's limitless power to heal and help today? -       Where do you encounter opposition to your faith and your stand for Jesus? What is the right way to handle difficult confrontations?

Acts 4 spoke of Barnabas' generous act in selling land and donating the proceeds to the ecclesial common cause. Barnabas may well have been the rich young ruler of Matthew 19. In Acts 5 couple named: Ananias and Sapphira, want the ecclesia's acclaim without giving all of the proceeds of their sale of land. It was their right to do with their money as they pleased. Their sin lay in lying – attempting to deceive God and other believers. It cost them their lives and was a great wake-up call to the ecclesia. We are told from verse 12 of the mighty signs that support the Apostles' preaching The chapter says that Peter and John are arrested and put in the public prison overnight. The angel of the Lord comes and releases those 2 Apostles and tells them to continue to proclaim “the words of life”. At daybreak Peter and John were enthusiastically preaching in the temple. The Apostles are rearrested by the officers, but this time quietly for fear of the people and once more the Jewish Council forbids them to preach full stop. The Apostles' answer in verse 29 is a message to believers for all time, “We must obey God rather than men”. Their bold testimony was an evidence that they were Jesus' disciples. Gamaliel counsels his peers to desist from opposing, or harming, the Apostles, since historical evidence – Gamaliel asserts – always showed that what was not from God was doomed to fail. In chapter 6 we have a complaint from the Hellenistic believers that their widows were not being treated fairly in the daily distribution of help. Seven faithful believers of Grecian background were chosen to rectify the matter. One of the seven, Stephen, was seized by the Jewish rulers and falsely accused of speaking words against Moses and the temple. False witnesses are secured and tell lies against Stephen.

At a time when most Israelis, across the political spectrum, have expressed appreciation and gratitude towards the Trump White House for pushing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to implement the Gaza cease-fire and hostage release agreement, Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA), says the "vast majority" of U.S. Jews strongly oppose President Donald Trump's policies. Spitalnik, who spoke to Haaretz Podcast host Allison Kaplan Sommer while on a visit to Israel for the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem this weekend, said "American Jews are still overwhelmingly a liberal community who believe in democracy, inclusivity and pluralism," and as such they are alarmed by Trump's policies and radical transformation of the government.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In order to find out on what charge the Jews of Jerusalem were seeking to kill Paul, the Roman commander requested that the members of the Sanhedrin convene a meeting to determine the charges against him, but the meeting was inconclusive. When the Roman commander realised that Paul's life was in danger, he returned him from the meeting to his soldiers' barracks. When the Roman commander learned of the plot hatched by forty Jews to kill Paul, he no longer considered it advisable to keep him under his guard, because if Paul, a citizen of the Roman Empire, were killed as a result of a plot by the Jews, he would be held accountable for his failure to protect him. Therefore, he ordered his soldiers to take Paul with full security to Caesarea and hand him over to Felix, the Roman governor.

It happened exactly four years ago. I am speaking of January 6, 2021 -- the attack on the US Capitol Building by supporters of Donald Trump – claiming that President Biden had stolen the election. It was, to quote Bill Kristol, our national day of shame. It was, to borrow FDR's iconic phrase, a day that will live in infamy. There were many things that we cannot unsee, and that we cannot unhear. Among the rioters that stormed the Senate chamber was a man who provided us with one of the most memorable and disturbing images of that dark day in American history. A bare-chested, self-styled “shaman” named Jacob Chansley, was wearing a horned helmet. At a certain moment, he removed that helmet, and he led the group in prayer: "Thank you heavenly father for gracing us with this opportunity… to allow us to exercise our rights, to allow us to send a message to all the tyrants, the communists, and the globalists, that this is our nation, not theirs. We will not allow America, the American way of the United States of America to go down… In Christ's holy name, we pray." That was a demonstration of Christian nationalism -- the subject of our podcast with Amy Spitalnick, the CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) -- a powerful national voice on issues of democracy, antisemitism, extremism, and hate.  In our conversation, you will learn that Christian nationalism poses three threats -- to America, to Jews and other religious minorities, and even to Christianity itself. (Many Christians themselves recognize this; check out this interview with Amanda Tyler, author of "How To End Christian Nationalism.")

Today's readings.. (2 Chronicles 26,27), (Daniel 7), (Acts 7) Stephen is hauled before the Jewish Council and accused of speaking blasphemous words against the Law and saying the Temple would be destroyed. His speech (in Acts 7) before the Council is a history lesson!  Why?  What was his purpose?  He reviews all that had happened since the time of Abraham.   Didn't the members of the Council know their history?  As we read the chapter we see Stephen is tracing the things God had instigated since he called Abraham from his homeland in Ur.  The lesson is for humans to be awake and aware of God in action, actions which are a response to human faith or lack of it. After Abraham he looks at the work and faith of Joseph.  Then God raised up Moses and when he became really faithful, miracles occurred both in leaving Egypt and in the wilderness when the commandments and the Law was given, also the follies caused by failures of faith and the result..    Then comes the establishment in the land under Joshua; the days of David and the great Temple built by Solomon.   God's presence was with them, yet God is far greater than just dwelling in the Temple they had built, God said “Heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool” [v.49].  Yet their religious life in Stephen's time was still built around the Temple! Did they have a relationship with the One God for whom it was built?  No! Stephen portrayed the real lessons for them, the mistakes that their history should teach them – how often their ancestors had not been awake to see God in action but had pursued their own ends. Stephen suddenly challenges them, “You stiff necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit (God in action) as your father's did … “ [v.51]    He accuses them – you betrayed and murdered the righteous one, Jesus, … you did just the same as your ancestors did – a folly which they complete my murdering Stephen.  It is evident that Stephen had included in his preaching a warning that the Temple was to be destroyed. And it was, about 35 years later – and their nation as well.  Our 21st Century will surely see the climax of human history. God will act again but the whole world is blind and unprepared just as the Jews were!  An awesome time is coming to destroy the “temples” of the gods of today.  Do we preach a message that is parallel to Stephen's?  Are  we prepared? Is our faith strong enough to endure?  How appropriate are the words of Jesus, “Because lawlessness will abound the love of many will grow cold, but those who endure to the end will be saved.” [Matt.14 v.12,13]. We must have the fellowship of fellow believers to help us to endure.

Luke 23:55–56 As his body was taken away, the women from Galilee followed and saw the tomb where his body was placed. Then they went home and prepared spices and ointments to anoint his body. But by the time they were finished the Sabbath had begun, so they rested as required by the law. There is something beautifully impressive about these verses. The women must have been totally devastated by the death of their Lord. I would imagine that they were experiencing a mixture of devastation and anger mingled with fear that the Romans might be coming after them next. But, amid all of this, they were concerned to do the right thing and anoint the body of Jesus. On the Friday itself there was very little time to do anything. Jesus had died at 3pm and the Jewish Sabbath began at about 6pm. Joseph of Arimathea asked for the body of Jesus – he probably did so to avoid the corpse being left to the dogs and vultures, which was normal practice with the bodies of criminals. Joseph was a member of the Jewish Council but clearly thought well of Jesus. He was, we are told, waiting for the kingdom of God. He had a lot of work to do to remove the body from the cross and place it in his family tomb before dusk. The women had no time to anoint Jesus' body, but they found out where the body had been laid so that they could return early on Sunday morning, once the Sabbath was over. They scurried home to prepare the spices and ointments. I find it deeply moving that, amid their deep grief, we see their devotion to Jesus. When a crisis hits us, it is very easy for us to turn in on ourselves and do nothing. But they didn't. They turned to those practical things that they could do to show their love for the Lord. Tragic as the circumstances were, preparing for Jesus' burial was the very best that they could do. Question What do you learn from the devotion of the women? Prayer Loving God, I thank you for the simple, practical devotion of these women. Help me to keep serving you, however tough the circumstances. Amen

Meet David Bernstein, the founder and CEO of the Jewish Institute for Liberal Values (JILV). JILV helps Jewish organizations and individuals hold constructive conversations about critical social justice. David is the past President and CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs and former executive director of the David Project. David is also the author of the book “Woke Antisemitism: How a Progressive Ideology Harms Jews.”As many listeners know, since 2014 I have been concerned about progressive thought and the negative impact it is having on our sense making institutions. Pointing out flaws of this school of thought pre 10/7 was difficult. Criticism of social justice theory, diversity equity and inclusion and indigenous land recognition was oftentimes met with accusations of racism and hate. However, since 10/7 it has become easier. The reaction progressives had to the horrors Hamas unleashed on the Jewish people have awoken American liberals. As a result, many liberals are starting to understand the negative implications of progressive ideology.As you will soon hear, David is a liberal who has been thinking about this ideology for way longer than I have...and he has the scars to prove it. I respect David for the decades he has spent attempting to educate the liberal world of the harms progressive ideology presents. When I look at David's career, I think of the quote from John Ruskin: “The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.”In this episode we cover...The difference between liberals and progressivesThe reasons why liberals went along with progressive thought for so longWhy the current social justice movement isn't an extension of Martin Luther King's civil rights movementWhat is the best path forward with regards to DEIWhy the Jewish people returning to their ancestral homeland doesn't meet the criteria of progressives who promote indigenous groups reclaiming their land.David's views on Israel's war against Hamas and the concept just war theoryThe difference between antisemitism on the left and right and which form David believes is the greatest threatAnd finally, how best to speak to liberals about why progressive thought is a threat to the American Jewish community
