In areas of theological discourse between various Christian traditions, Baptism and the Lord's Supper perhaps hold some of the most disparate approaches. While non-Baptist traditions frequently utilize the term, “sacrament,' to refer to Baptism and the Lord's Supper, contemporary Baptist traditions usually employ ordinance. Differences of view regularly regard what is believed to occur during the sacred acts: either the impartation of grace or an act of cognitive remembrance. Few would likely disagree with the truth that the acts are ordinances in that they were ordained and instituted by Jesus Christ himself (Mark 14:22-24, 1 Cor 11:23-26, Matt 26:26-30, Luke 22:14-23); yet, the notion that Baptism and the Lord's Supper are sacraments leads to disagreement between contemporary Baptist and non-Baptist traditions. Nonetheless, a careful survey of the meaning of sacrament and its implications can bring greater compatibility between Baptists and non-Baptists.[1] Baptist teaching and worship practice often prides itself on the doctrine of grace alone. Often unrealized in Baptist teaching, however, is the fact that sacrament is also built upon grace alone. In fact, sacramental theology is founded upon the work of God rather than the work of humankind. The word, “sacrament,” is derived from the church's union and participation with Christ. The church's present union and participation with Christ necessitates a recovery of sacramental theology in Baptist worship practice. This paper defends the need for the recovery of sacramental theology in Baptist worship practice on a fourfold basis: 1) an explanation of sacrament's essence, 2) the foundation of sacramental theology in church history, 3) the awareness of God's place as subject over object in worship, and 4) the groundwork of grace alone upon which sacramental theology subsists. [1] “Christians throughout history have generally accepted Augustine of Hippo's definition of a sacrament as ‘the visible form of invisible grace' (‘On the Catechism of the Uninstructed,' 26.50). However, different Christian churches and traditions vary in their understanding of how the visible sign relates to the divine grace. There are two general understandings: 1. The sign bestows or contains the grace. 2. The sign depicts, represents, or symbolizes the grace” (Eugene R. Schlesinger, “Sacraments,” ed. John D. Barry et al., The Lexham Bible Dictionary, Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2016).

With no real way of knowing how the American civil war would end, President Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863; the most important part of his proclamation stated the following: That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free. The war began with shots fired at 4:30 a.m. in South Carolina at Fort Sumter, on April 12, 1881. The war ended 4 years, 1 month, and 2 weeks later on April 9, 1865, at the great cost of at least 620,000 American lives. Five days later, on April 14th, President Abraham Lincoln was shot in the back of the head by John Wilkes Booth while watching a play at Fords Theater; Lincoln was pronounced dead the morning of April 15th. In his eulogy of Lincoln, Senator Charles Sumner said, Mourn not the dead, but rejoice in his life and example. Rejoice that through him Emancipation was proclaimed. Walt Whitman admired Lincoln, and although he never had the opportunity to meet Lincoln, he said of the president: Lincoln gets almost nearer me than anybody else. Whitman shared the same views on slavery that Abraham Lincoln had; after the president was assassinated, Whitman penned what would later be considered a masterpiece of a poem titled: O Captain! My Captain!, which served as a metaphor about the death of the president he dearly admired and loved.Whitmans poem was first published on November 4, 1865; consider Whitmans first verse: O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weatherd every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. As great as Abraham Lincoln was, he was only mortal, and a flawed one at that. But dear Christian, we have a Captain who is no mere mortal. A captain of a boat or ship is the person with the highest rank; as the Head of the Church, there is no authority greater than Jesus! Think about it, all things have been placed in subjection under the feet of Jesus; He is head over all things to the to the church (Eph. 1:22-23). Our Captain, Jesus, is the fully divine Christ who descended in humility by also becoming fully human. Our Captain is the Lord of Life, who is the only begotten Son of God the Father Almighty. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead, and buried; descended into the grave; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.[1] When I read Ephesians 4:7-10 and sat at my desk in front of my Bible staring at verses 8-10, I could not help but rejoice over what these verses mean. After reading Walt Whitmans poem, I wrote two verses of my own poem in response: Our Captain and Great Redeemer, His divine arms spread great and wide! Upon the Cross, He bleed for sinners, For our freedom, the Lamb of God died. From earthen wood to the stone carved tomb, Redemptions Prince laid cold and dead! Three Days Later, Christ had risen, Death and sin: swallowed up by the Living! So, I have spent much of our time this morning setting up Ephesians 4:7-10, but I believe it was time well spent for reasons I hope will become clear. The Church is Equipped by Christ for Her Mission (v. 7) If I can get you to see how encouraging verse 7 is, I believe you will gain a healthier and deeper understanding of how you can, walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called (4:1). I also believe you will discover the secret sauce for how you can urgently, keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (v. 3). To do this however, you have got to see the relationship between Ephesians 4:4-6 with verse 7; for this reason look carefully at these verses: There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all (Eph. 4:46). Now we come to verse 7, But to each of us grace was given according to the measure of Christs gift. Wait a second Paul, what happened to all this talk about us being one? We, who make up the body of Christ under His Lordship because we have been sealed by His Holy Spirit have each received, grace according to the measure of Christs gift. The grace and the gift mentioned in this verse is not referring to the gift of salvation in the same way Ephesians 2:8-9 is referring to the gift of salvation. The grace and the gift that is given by Jesus to those He has redeemed is given so that those who have been saved are able to function as one body for the purpose of serving one another in the Church and to engage Christs mission in the world as the Church. The word used for grace is charis from which we get the word charismatic from, and the way it is used here in verse 7 is not saving grace but equipping grace. The gift that belongs to Christ is His to give and He does so freely to whomever He chooses who make up His Church for good of the one body. Listen, Christs gift are spiritual gifts that He distributes among His people diversly through the power of the Holy Spirit to build up those who make up His Church. The gift is what Jesus promised His disciples hours before His crucifixion: But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you (John 16:7). The gift is given not by some force, but by the One Jesus promised in Acts 1:8, You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and as far as the remotest part of the earth (Acts 1:8). If you are still confused what verse 7 is describing, there are two scripture passages that I believe will help you make sense of this verse. In 1 Corinthians 12:4-7, we learn a little more about what each true Christian has been given according to the measure of Christs gift: Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. What this means for you Christian, is that Jesus has uniquely and supernaturally gifted you through the Holy Spirit (the Helper) to live out Ephesians 2:10 for the good of His people and mission He has called us to, and in case you forgot what Ephesians 2:10 says, here it is: For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. I will come back to how our gifting through the Holy Spirit works diversly for the purpose of unity in my next sermon, but what I want you to know for now is that Jesus gave His Church a greater mission than what drove the North and the South into war on April 12, 1861, for we live in a world where all people are born under the tyranny of sin and are bound to a nature to sin, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind and stand condemned before a Holy God as, children of wrath (Eph. 2:1-3). We who have been set free from the tyranny of sin and redeemed by the blood of the Lamb have been given our marching orders: Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age (Matt. 28:1920). The good news about our orders is that our Captain has not only uniquely gifted each of His people to accomplish His mission, but He promises to go with us! The Mission of the Church Guaranteed by Christs Victory (vv. 8-10) What confidence do we have that the Church (the community of called-out-ones) will be able to finish the mission Jesus has given Her? It is right here in verses 8-10! Paul begins with the word Therefore to indicate how it is we can have any confidence to remain unified as one body, under one Lord, sealed and empowered by one Spirit, and he does so by quoting from Psalm 68! What is so remarkable about Psalm 68 is that it is in the category of Psalms known as the enthronement psalms that celebrate the kingly reign of God Almighty! Psalm 68 celebrates Gods triumph in leading His people from Mount Sinai in the desert to Mount Zion in Jerusalem as God and King over His people! Permit me to highlight some of the verses in Psalm 68 before we look specifically at the verse Paul quotes from so that you can appreciate the significance of what Paul does in Ephesians from this Psalm: May God arise, may His enemies be scattered, and may those who hate Him flee from His presence. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before a fire, so the wicked will perish before God. But the righteous will be joyful; they will rejoice before God; yes, they will rejoice with gladness. (Psalm 68:13) Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation. God is to us a God of salvation; and to God the Lord belong ways of escape from death. (Psalm 68:1920) Tucked into the middle of Psalm 68 is verse 18, and it is this verse that Paul quotes from, and does so with a twist. But before I show you why He did this, you need to see Psalm 68:15-18 together: The mountain of Bashan is a mountain of God; the mountain of Bashan is a mountain of many peaks. 16Why do you look with envy, you mountains of many peaks, at the mountain God has desired as His dwelling? Indeed, the Lord will dwell there forever. 17The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness. 18You have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives; You have received gifts among people, Even among the rebellious as well, that the Lord God may dwell there. Here is what you need to know to appreciate why Paul quotes Psalm 68:18 with a twist: The mountain of Bashan represented the gateway to the evil underworld in Israelite and Canaanite thought.[2] What is being celebrated in Psalm 68:15-18 is that God defeated the evil that threatened His people at Mount Bashan and not only defeated them handedly, but led captive the captives by putting His triumph over the enemies of His people on full display for all to see. When the Psalmist wrote of God: You have led captive Your captives he was describing the victory procession of a returning king that was common in the ancient Near East; in his commentary on the Psalms, Gerald Wilson said of the victory procession, Captives were paraded as a visible representation of the kings far-flung conquests. As the victorious army returned home through various subject nations, the parade of captives drove home to any who might entertain notions of rebellion the power of the king and how he had defeated those who had resisted his authority.[3] Those conquered were quick to offer gifts to prove their loyalty to the conquering victorious king. Okay, now we are ready to appreciate what Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wrote in Ephesians 4:8-10, and it will not take long to do so! So here is what Paul wrote: Therefore it says, When He ascended on high, he led captive THE captives, And He gave gifts to people. 9(Now this expression, He ascended, what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.) What the apostle does with Psalm 68:18 is that he summarizes all of Psalm 68 by drawing our attention to verse 18 to show us how every enemy has been defeated through the way Jesus descended into the lower parts of the earth which He did by humbling Himself, by taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men. And being found in the appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross (Phil. 2:5-8). Jesus was buried and three days later rose from the grave! After He rose from the grave, He ascended to heaven, but before doing so, promised his followers: You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and as far as the remotest part of the earth (Acts 1:8). What does it mean that Jesus, ascended far above all the heavens? After Jesus descended, we read in Philippians 2:9-11, For this reason also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Do you see what Paul is saying here? Oh, dear Christian, Jesus died to liberate us from the bondage and curse of sin, and He was then buried in the tomb. However, because death had no power over Him, he defeated sin and death by rising from the grave, and we rightly hail Him as the Risen Lord of Life! But wait that is not all! Jesus ascended to the right hand of the Father, which means that He is enthroned as the ascended King of kings and Lord of lords! Now, against the backdrop of Psalm 68 and Ephesians 4:7-10, consider Colossians 2:13-15, And when you were dead in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings, having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. As the victorious and ascended King, Jesus triumphed over sin, death, the demonic powers, the devil, and hell itself!Jesus is the fulfillment of Psalm 68, and the gifts He gives is through the pouring out of the Holy Spirit that both He and the Father have sent to seal His redeemed and ransomed Bride (the Church) for the purpose of dispensing gifts upon those who make up His one body! Martyn Lloyd-Jones said of these verses that they serve as, a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ leading in His triumphal train the devil and hell and sin and deaththe great enemies that were against man and which had held mankind in captivity for so long a time. The princes which had controlled that captivity are now being led captive themselves. He concludes by driving home the apostles point that we dare not forget: He is the great heavenly Captain and we are His people. Having routed His enemies, He dispenses and showers His gifts upon us. But all the gifts, ever, always, come from Him.[4] You, who have been ransomed, redeemed, and forgiven through the triumphant victory of Jesus Christ upon the cross and over the gravenow that you who have received the promised Holy Spirit and are empowered by Himhow are you walking in, a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called?

With no real way of knowing how the American civil war would end, President Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863; the most important part of his proclamation stated the following: That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free. The war began with shots fired at 4:30 a.m. in South Carolina at Fort Sumter, on April 12, 1881. The war ended 4 years, 1 month, and 2 weeks later on April 9, 1865, at the great cost of at least 620,000 American lives. Five days later, on April 14th, President Abraham Lincoln was shot in the back of the head by John Wilkes Booth while watching a play at Fords Theater; Lincoln was pronounced dead the morning of April 15th. In his eulogy of Lincoln, Senator Charles Sumner said, Mourn not the dead, but rejoice in his life and example. Rejoice that through him Emancipation was proclaimed. Walt Whitman admired Lincoln, and although he never had the opportunity to meet Lincoln, he said of the president: Lincoln gets almost nearer me than anybody else. Whitman shared the same views on slavery that Abraham Lincoln had; after the president was assassinated, Whitman penned what would later be considered a masterpiece of a poem titled: O Captain! My Captain!, which served as a metaphor about the death of the president he dearly admired and loved.Whitmans poem was first published on November 4, 1865; consider Whitmans first verse: O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weatherd every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. As great as Abraham Lincoln was, he was only mortal, and a flawed one at that. But dear Christian, we have a Captain who is no mere mortal. A captain of a boat or ship is the person with the highest rank; as the Head of the Church, there is no authority greater than Jesus! Think about it, all things have been placed in subjection under the feet of Jesus; He is head over all things to the to the church (Eph. 1:22-23). Our Captain, Jesus, is the fully divine Christ who descended in humility by also becoming fully human. Our Captain is the Lord of Life, who is the only begotten Son of God the Father Almighty. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead, and buried; descended into the grave; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.[1] When I read Ephesians 4:7-10 and sat at my desk in front of my Bible staring at verses 8-10, I could not help but rejoice over what these verses mean.

Today on Biblical News Source we dive into the encouraging influx of bills against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and discuss why DEI is a problem, then we talk about the “Christ is King” debacle that has been trending over the weekend and what the phrase “Christ is King” truly means, and later we begin our exploration of the Book of Exodus by looking into the Pharaoh who enslaved the Israelites and why his actions were deemed as an affront to God's creation.Sources:https://www.wjfw.com/news/regional/they-may-not-agree-on-how-to-define-dei-but-thats-no-problem-for-kansas/article_52d459f5-4a5e-53e6-9662-9f206abe12e3.html?fbclid=IwAR2qKFRyM4rtMfod7sNFN_X8fUhJpJX2ITMepiLmg7HSSUL5lvxushpPiyAhttps://twitter.com/BillboardChris/status/1770902071887200362https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1771974673468989657https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1772015211349770433Ian Shaw, The Oxford History of Ancient EgyptSave on healthcare with Crossway Connect today: https://app.crosswayconnect.org/enroll...Build your own library of resources for biblical study with Logos Bible Software: https://logos.refr.cc/10minutechurchDeck yourself out with some Jesus swag and bear his name with apparel and accessories from SeekJesus.co:https://seekjesus.co/pages/_go_?ref=7491:646327&discount=CHRISW92Get a copy of my new devotional journal Centering Prayer: Sit and Give Your Troubles to God: https://a.co/d/39pw2eEWebsite: 10minute.churchConvos With Dad: https://www.spreaker.com/show/convos-with-dadX (formerly Twitter): @TheChrisW92Recommended Sources:Michael S.

Today on Biblical News Source we look into a story that highlights the increasing disrespect and hostility toward Christian groups and how it ties into the trend around the world to confuse language in order to control the masses. Then we take another deep dive into the horrendous evil of abortion to see even more why and how this particular evil is both grotesque and heartbreaking. Lastly, we begin our trek into the Book of Exodus and the Hebrew worldview by examining several pieces of archaeological evidence that collectively confirm the reality of the Exodus and when it took place in history.Sources:https://www.1011now.com/2024/03/14/more-scrutiny-coming-over-use-state-legislative-space-after-bible-study-held-hearing-room/?fbclid=IwAR2rPHc7khNBSek7BD5gjlGiEgPoXpp1ksAfXMXEOguWO9PP16gBVQ0Zj28https://twitter.com/BillboardChris/status/1767989732007621094https://www.abortionprocedures.com/abortion-pill/?_hsmi=103139322&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--toLuDiF2ANGzUS8wubWAGY4gBlaDl_6x1v85oZP_aSVnDECDS9GTUtwKiMquW3E0mUe7q9l-gWx4M69kPc8nr-LXKOghttps://www.abortionprocedures.com/aspiration/?_hsmi=103140100&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_3Yff9FeftocbyxiTbGfxVGLaHZwhaazYr50A6Cn6Rh02ESp1MZqeyvnpaCCKcPNq_UPUPWhzdCetbnHY0LfoK_rCw4g#1466797068169-b19ae05d-8be7https://www.abortionprocedures.com/?_hsmi=103139319&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_qT0b7ZHIg3nHi9KYVwHJG5xoqAGtuyDl6K2FGv3kVErCJ3rABu9v7VttNwws1zkhujSGJ-z2cPNLzl7yhD855TaWiwghttps://www.abortionprocedures.com/induction/?_hsmi=103138992&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_bdYLc2WTXuB8F2gsLEOI-7Ms4Ux1E50mP8pbRDUGeFW8eSitf6y7LhjILlZluCOt4b1AQZXLP1_7by6EUJiiKFeRg-whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy9nFFnLKPwScott Klusendorf, The Case for LifeLila Rose, Fighting for LifeKaitlyn Schiess, The Bible and the BalotTitus Kennedy, Unearthing the BibleSave on healthcare with Crossway Connect today: https://app.crosswayconnect.org/enroll...Build your own library of resources for biblical study with Logos Bible Software: https://logos.refr.cc/10minutechurchDeck yourself out with some Jesus swag and bear his name with apparel and accessories from SeekJesus.co:https://seekjesus.co/pages/_go_?ref=7491:646327&discount=CHRISW92Get a copy of my new devotional journal Centering Prayer: Sit and Give Your Troubles to God: https://a.co/d/39pw2eEWebsite: 10minute.churchConvos With Dad: https://www.spreaker.com/show/convos-with-dadX (formerly Twitter): @TheChrisW92Recommended Sources:Michael S.

Today on Biblical News Source, we discuss the trend in Black on White violence in the West, taking a look at an appalling video of a heinous criminal act by a Black man that was virtually dismissed by a liberal Black judge. Then we take a dive into the growing double standard in the West that is starting to show its true colors as a force against Christianity and the values that built America. And lastly, we dive into the life of Jacob's son Joseph, placing him within Egyptian history and seeking a deeper understanding of God's sending him into the fray of one of the ancient world's largest superpowers.

Today on Biblical News Source we find that we are at a precipice, and the church needs to correct hearts and minds before the world falls over the edge into the abyss. We take a look at an article about a church in trouble and learn the importance of congregationalism, the concept that inspired the republic model devised in the U.S. Constitution. Then we take a deeper look at the Founding Fathers and their beliefs, which has become a topic of interest this week in regards to so-called Christian nationalism. And last but not least, we continue our examination of the Hebrew Worldview by diving into the life of Jacob, the last of the forefathers, and his encounters with God.

Today on Biblical News Source there is a lot to cover. Stories the past two weeks have been popping up in overwhelming numbers. Tucker Carlson interviewed Vladimir Putin, causing quite a stir; the border crisis intensifies, and the House impeaches Secretary Mayorkas for his dereliction of duty; Democrats' soft on crime policies and refusal to deal with the mental health crisis in our country is putting people's safety at risk; and it turns out that all of this, to no surprise, may be intentional. Xi Van Fleet, with her experiences from Communist China, gives us some insight into why. Following all of that, we discuss the state of our world and whether or not Jesus emphasized repentance as a part of the gospel message. And lastly, we continue in our examination of the Hebrew Worldview by examining the near sacrifice of Isaac.Sources:https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/1757404722267619553https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1757802512743330155https://twitter.com/ImMeme0/status/1757540809560162371https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/1757083595536314505https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1757560988268716380https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1757836583460655436https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1757860818732069111https://twitter.com/TaraBull808/status/1757967661135434179https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1758199262268334287https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1757868334367003026https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1757486613729620127https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/1757164324496286037https://twitter.com/megbasham/status/1757431402264486155https://twitter.com/TheChrisW92/status/1757537145869234300Save on healthcare with Crossway Connect today: https://app.crosswayconnect.org/enroll...Build your own library of resources for biblical study with Logos Bible Software: https://logos.refr.cc/10minutechurchDeck yourself out with some Jesus swag and bear his name with apparel and accessories from SeekJesus.co:https://seekjesus.co/pages/_go_?ref=7491:646327&discount=CHRISW92Get a copy of my new devotional journal Centering Prayer: Sit and Give Your Troubles to God: https://a.co/d/39pw2eEWebsite: 10minute.churchConvos With Dad: https://www.spreaker.com/show/convos-with-dadX (formerly Twitter): @TheChrisW92Recommended Sources:Michael S.

This week on Biblical News Source we are going to take a deep dive into the troubling influx of carelessness and abandonment in Biden's America, specifically how intentional it is and how it is showing itself even in the U.S. Congress, especially with one congresswoman Ilhan Omar. We are paying for their brazen ineptitude. Then, as it turns out, carbon dioxide emissions are actually healthy for the planet, and we will look at a recent science article that tells us why. And after that, we continue our examination of Abraham and the forefathers of biblical faith.

     In our current section on case laws (Deut 19:1—26:19), we are considering how the nation of ancient Israel was to practice righteous living after they entered the land of Canaan (Deut 16:20), and how righteousness was measured by conformity to God's laws (Deut 6:24-25). In the previous section, Moses provided instruction concerning war with cities outside Canaan (Deut 20:10-15), and cities inside Canaan (Deut 20:16-20). In this pericope, Moses set forth a law concerning an unsolved murder, and then addressed the responsibilities God placed on the leaders of a nearby city to pronounce their innocence before the Lord (Deut 21:1-9). By following this law, the leaders of the city—elders, judges, and priests—were taking responsibility for what happened in their communities. Even though the city leaders were not personally responsible for the sinful act, it was still their problem as it fell under their jurisdiction, and God expected them to handle it in a specific way that satisfied His holiness, and this because He dwelt among His people.      Our current section opens with a scenario in which a murdered person is found lying in a field and the murderer is not known. Moses wrote, “If a slain person is found lying in the open country in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess, and it is not known who has struck him, 2 then your elders and your judges shall go out and measure the distance to the cities which are around the slain one” (Deut 21:1-2). As stated on previous occasions, Moses described the land as that “which the LORD your God gives you to possess” (Deut 21:1a; cf., Deut 5:16; 17:14; 18:9; 19:1, 10, 14; 21:23; 24:4; 25:15, 19; 26:1-2; 27:2-3; 28:8). God owned the land (Lev 25:23), and He was granting it to His people as He'd promised to Abraham (Gen 12:7; 15:18), Isaac (Gen 26:3), and Jacob (Gen 28:13), but with the condition that they obey Him for blessing (Deut 28:1-14).      When the murderer could not be found, God instructed the elders and judges to investigate the matter and to “go out and measure the distance to the cities which are around the slain one” (Deut 21:2b). These would not be the judges and elders in the nearby city (Deut 16:18; 19:12), but those who served at the central sanctuary and served as a higher court (Deut 17:8-9). Warren Wiersbe states: "The “elders and judges” mentioned in Deuteronomy 21:2 are probably the “sanctuary court” mentioned in 17:8–13, and this would include the priests (21:5). This was the highest tribunal in the land and murder was a heinous crime. Furthermore, nobody had yet measured to see which city was nearest, so the elders and judges couldn't have come from that city. Once the nearest city had been determined, the elders of that city participated in the assigned ritual. We assume that the elders and judges investigated the case thoroughly before they took the steps outlined in these verses."[1]      God owned the land the Israelites would possess (Lev 25:23), and it was the place where He dwelt among His people. The Lord had said, “You shall not defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the LORD am dwelling in the midst of the sons of Israel” (Num 35:34). The land itself was to be treated as holy, as God Himself resided in it, among His people. When innocent people were murdered, God declared that “blood pollutes the land” (Num 35:33a). This was true when Cain killed his brother Abel, and God said to Cain, “The voice of your brother's blood is crying to Me from the ground” (Gen 4:10). Concerning murder, the Lord also said, “no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who shed it” (Num 35:33). That is, there was no atonement for the murderer that would acquit him of the punishment for his crime. The murderer was to bear the punishment for his crime, and this by the local government (Gen 9:5-6). However, in the current situation, the murderer could not be found to pay for his crime, yet God's holiness needed to be addressed. Some method of justice needed to be followed in order to remove the corporate guilt of the community.      Though the murdered person was not the fault of anyone living in the nearby city, it was still their problem, and God expected them to deal with it in a righteous manner. Corporate responsibility was common to ancient cultures. For example, in the ancient law Code of Hammurabi, if a person was murdered, and the murderer could not be found, then “the city and governor shall pay one mina [500 grams] of silver to his people.”[2] This payment was given to the family of the victim, and this by the governor of the city. Thomas Constable states, “Cities were responsible for murders committed within their jurisdictions. This indicates that there is corporate guilt in God's government. The ritual prescribed removed the pollution caused by bloodshed.”[3] Earl Kalland adds, “When the perpetrator of the crime cannot be detected, some method of removal of the guilt that then falls on the land and people must be secured…The procedure given in this section of Deuteronomy provides the means for satisfying the Lord's justice by the removal of corporate guilt.”[4]      The people of the city were to understand that all that happened in their community had an impact on God Himself. The city nearest the slain person would be required to take responsibility and follow the required actions to remove the guilt of their community. Specifically, it was the elders of the city who were to act, as they represented the community as a whole. Concerning the city elders, Moses said, “It shall be that the city which is nearest to the slain man, that is, the elders of that city, shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not been worked and which has not pulled in a yoke; 4 and the elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which has not been plowed or sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the valley” (Deut 21:3-4). The actions included taking a heifer that had never been worked, bring it to a valley with running water, which valley had never been plowed or sown, and there break the animal's neck. The unworked heifer, the clean running water, and the unplowed valley seem to provide a picture of purity. To be clear, this was not a sacrifice, for the animal was not offered by a priest on an altar. Rather, killing the heifer appears to be a symbolic act of what the officials—and the community—would do to the murderer if he were in their hands. In this way, they demonstrated to all that they were willing to take responsibility for their community and adhere to God's high standards of justice.      After the elders of the city performed this act, God then called for the priests, saying, “Then the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come near, for the LORD your God has chosen them to serve Him and to bless in the name of the LORD; and every dispute and every assault shall be settled by them” (Deut 21:5). Though the city elders were mainly responsible for adjudicating the matter—for they represented their community—God also required the Levitical priests to be present, as they represented the people to God. Here we see both a horizontal and vertical aspect of righteousness within a community. The function of the priests seems to picture a final absolution of the matter. Furthermore, we see in this situation a shared responsibility between the religious and the judicial.      After the priests had performed their duty, Moses then states, “All the elders of that city which is nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley, and they shall answer and say, ‘Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it'” (Deut 21:6-7). Here, the elders of the city who followed this act were then to wash their hands over the dead body of the heifer and pronounce their innocence concerning the murder, that they neither had any part in the heinous act, nor knew who the murderer was. Earl Radmacher states, “The elders of the city bore the responsibility for the murder, even though they were not personally guilty. It was up to them to seek atonement for the murder.”[5] Peter Craigie adds: "The elders of the city that accepted responsibility for the dead man washed their hands over the broken-necked heifer. The symbolism of the various actions now becomes clear: the crime deserved to be punished, as the broken neck of the heifer indicated, but the hand-washing of the elders showed that, although they accepted responsibility for what had happened, they were nevertheless free from the guilt attached to the crime."[6]      Then the elders of the city were to say, ‘“Forgive Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, O LORD, and do not place the guilt of innocent blood in the midst of Your people Israel.' And the bloodguiltiness shall be forgiven them” (Deut 21:8). Forgiveness followed the action of the elders who followed the Lord's instructions. The word forgive, which appears twice in this verse, translates the Hebrew verb כָּפַר kaphar, which commonly means “to appease someone…to make amends…to make atonement.”[7] The word is often connected with the atonement that comes when a priest sheds an animal's blood on the altar (Lev 17:11). Here, however, the word connotes an appeasement for justice. Though the elders of the city were innocent, they accepted responsibility for the horrendous crime committed nearest to their community, and sought to balance the scales of justice by means of killing a heifer (as though he were the murderer), washing their hands (a picture of innocence), and by prayer to God (who is the offended Person). Their request to God was, “Forgive Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, O LORD” (Deut 21:8a). The language recalled God's redemptive work for all Israel, when He redeemed His people from Egypt and called them out to be a special people who represented Him to others. Here was a corporate mindset in which the elders of the community took responsibility for those under their care. If they followed these procedures as prescribed, then “the bloodguiltiness shall be forgiven them” (Deut 21:8b).      The act of the elders did not forgive the murderer of his crime. The blood of the animal was not shed. Furthermore, the act was performed by the elders of the city as the priests watched. The place where the animal was killed was an unworked field, not at an altar. There was no removal of sin for the murderer, only the elimination of any suspected guilt on the part of the elders of the city and the community as a whole.      Moses closed this pericope, saying, “So you shall remove the guilt of innocent blood from your midst, when you do what is right in the eyes of the LORD” (Deut 21:9). Murder is bad business, as it stains the community where it occurs. The stain was washed away when the elders and priests of the city accepted responsibility for the matter and followed the Lord's instruction for cleansing. The elders and priests were not admitting guilt for the crime, for they were innocent. Rather, by following the Lord's instructions, they were publicly testifying concerning what they would do to the murderer if he were in their hands, and in this way, showed their sense of righteousness agreed with the righteousness of God. In this way, God's justice was emphasized and upheld.      In the grand scheme of life, no one gets away with murder. God sees all that happens. ‘“Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?' declares the LORD. ‘Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?' declares the LORD'” (Jer 23:24). Though the murderer was not found and judged by human courts, God Himself sees what happens in His world, and He will eventually execute justice in His time and way. For God is “the Judge of all the earth” (Gen 18:25), and He “is a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day” (Psa 7:11). No one escapes God's final judgment. Present Application      The Bible teaches both individual and corporate responsibility. God holds each person accountable for what they think, say, and do. However, individual actions can impact the lives of others, both in the moment as well as in the future. For example, when Adam sinned, we all sinned with him (Rom 5:12), and so we are spiritually dead (Eph 2:1-2). Here is corporate guilt. On the other hand, Christ died for sinners (Rom 5:8), and when we trust in Jesus as Savior (John 3:16), we share in His life and righteousness (John 10:28; Phil 3:9). We are all born in Adam at physical birth, and are born again spiritually at the moment of faith in Christ. All humanity is either in Adam or in Christ (1 Cor 15:21-21).      Individual actions have consequences that impact the lives of others. Abraham's disobedience in going to Egypt caused problems both for him and Sarah (Gen 12:10-20). David's disobedience to God in taking an unauthorized census led to the death of 70,000 Israelites (1 Chron 21:1-14). Of course, God disciplined David because of his affair with Bathsheba as well as the murder of her husband, Uriah, and God's judgment impacted David's family in the years that followed (2 Sam 12:5-15; cf. 2 Sam 13:1—18:33). Jonah's disobedience nearly killed his fellow travelers (Jonah 1:12). When Joshua and the army of Israel came against the city of Ai, Israel was soundly defeated and 36 soldiers died (Josh 7:1-5). When Joshua cried out to the Lord and asked why they were defeated (Josh 7:6-10), the Lord said, “Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. And they have even taken some of the things under the ban and have both stolen and deceived. Moreover, they have also put them among their own things” (Josh 7:11). When investigated further (Josh 7:12-19), it was found that one man, Achan (likely with the knowledge of his wife and family), was responsible for the sin. Achan said, “I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel” (Josh 7:20).      Addressing individual responsibility, God said to Ezekiel, “Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul who sins will die” (Ezek 18:4). And, “The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself” (Ezek 18:20). There is suffering that can come from God, and there is suffering that can come from our connection to others. Children may bear the consequences of their parents' sins, but only as the consequences fall naturally into the lap of the child because of their relationship with their parents. But children do not suffer by the hand of God for the sins their parents commit. John Barry affirms, saying, “Corporate responsibility for sin does not mean succeeding generations are punished for the sins of earlier generations. But, the consequences of the sins of earlier generations may affect later generations.”[8]Walter Kaiser states: "Ezekiel 18 focuses on the responsibility of the individual for individual guilt. That is one side of the coin. But the Bible also recognizes the reality of the concept of corporate responsibility when it comes to accounting for the effect of some individual sins. The case of Achan in Joshua 7:1–26 is the best example of corporate solidarity, for when Achan sinned, it was said that all Israel had sinned as well. We can understand how one traitor can sell a whole army into major trouble, but we forget how the effects of some sins fall on whole communities, nations or assemblies of persons. In the case in Ezekiel 21, the sword would cut both the righteous and the wicked. That is because in war often both the good and the bad fall. But that was not to say that everyone was individually guilty; no, it was the effect that reached and impacted all."[9]      Corporately, Israelite communities were organic, with each part touching and impacting the other, such that no one operated in complete isolation, nor in a completely neutral manner. Like two sides of a coin, individual actions impact a community, for better or worse; and the communities' overall health affects its individual members, either in positive or negative ways. William Raccah states, “Ancient Israelite culture was therefore organic in that each of its parts was interdependent on the others, yet at the same time retained its independence in certain aspects”[10]      It should be noted that God sometimes allows His innocent people to be swept up in the judgment He brings upon a nation, and this because He plans to use them to serve as His representatives. God permitted Hananiah, Azariah, Mishael, and Ezekiel to go into Babylonian captivity, though they had not personally been disobedient to the Lord. God then worked through these men to demonstrate to others how a godly life could be maintained in the midst of a hostile pagan culture. Their trials provided an opportunity for them to grow spiritually and to shine in a dark place.      Just as God was seen to be in the midst of His people, Israel (Num 35:34), so today, in the church age, Jesus walks in the midst of His churches and evaluates us. In Revelation chapters 2 and 3, the seven churches in Asia Minor were referred to as lampstands, and Jesus is seen “in the middle of the lampstands” (Rev 1:13) as “the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands” (Rev 2:1). Each home-church was under constant review by the Lord Jesus Christ. Out of the seven churches, Jesus gave praise only for two (Smyrna and Philadelphia), both praise and rebuke to four (Ephesus, Pergamum, Thyatira, and Sardis), and rebuke only for one (Laodicea). And Jesus also gave instructions for each church, to continue what was right, or to correct what was wrong.      Though individual in nature, each church was part of the “body of Christ” (Eph 4:12; cf. Eph 1:23) which makes up the universal church. Paul wrote, for “you are Christ's body, and individually members of it” (1 Co 12:27), and, “if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it” (1 Cor 12:26). As Christians, we must think in terms of individual and corporate responsibility, realizing our actions not only impact us, but the lives of others with whom we are in regular contact. It is essential to our spiritual development that we accept responsibility for the things we do as well as the things that come into our lives, even though we may not be the cause. And we can pray for God to remove difficulties, but what He does not remove, He intends for us to deal with, and this for our spiritual development and witness to others.   [1] Warren W.

The Holy Spirit transforms His people to share His moral character and empowers them to fulfill His purposes.[1] One question that often comes up with regards to the Spirit is ‘do the sign gifts (tongues, healing, prophecy etc.) continue today? Or are these gifts something unique to the 1st century? In this episode we look at the two main positions in this debate: cessationism and continuationism. [1] Craig Keener, “Holy Spirit,” ed.
