7 takeaways from this study Guard your heart more than your habits.External practices (like handwashing traditions) matter less than the thoughts, desires, and attitudes that flow from the heart (Mark 7:20–23). Focus on inner transformation, not just outward conformity. Use God's distinctions as training, not as weapons.The categories of kadosh/chol (holy/common) and tahor/tame (clean/unclean) are meant to train discernment, not to create pride or contempt. Let them teach you to ask, “Is this moving me toward God's presence or away from it?” Pay attention to what you allow into your life.Just as Israel learned daily through food choices (Leviticus 11), examine your inputs—media, relationships, habits. Ask whether they help or hinder your ability to draw near to God. Do not call unclean what God is cleansing.Peter's lesson in Acts 10–11 warns against writing people off. Someone who looks far from God may be a “foreigner” He is already drawing. Be slow to label; be quick to watch for the Spirit's work. Let Scripture sit above tradition.Traditions can be helpful, but when they contradict or overshadow God's commands, they must yield (Mark 7:8–13). Regularly test your religious habits and assumptions against the Word. See the mission: you are meant to be a magnet.Like the Temple in 1 Kings 8, your life and community should draw others toward God's presence, not push them away. Ask whether your tone, conduct, and priorities make Him attractive or seem common. Expect God to redeem even deep failure.Solomon's decline and possible later repentance, Saul's transformation, and former enemies turned witnesses all point to hope. Pray for those who oppose you and for your own blind spots, trusting God to bring good out of evil. How Scripture defines “holy” and “common,” “clean” and “unclean,” connects to the calling of Israel and the inclusion of people from all nations into the Kingdom. Torah's purity laws teach spiritual discernment. Yeshua's teaching in Mark 7 and the vision of Acts 10 do not abolish God's standard of that discernment. Instead, they clarify the true source of defilement and the scope of God's invitation. Solomon's dedication prayer and a ‘Declaration of Dependence’ Solomon's prayer at the dedication of the Temple in 1Kings 8 marks a transition from a movable Tabernacle to a permanent House of the LORD. Israel’s dwelling place for the Most High moves from a tent in Shiloh to a private home to a fixed sanctuary in Jerusalem. Solomon's prayer is sort of a “declaration of dependence” on God, parallel to the U.S. Declaration of Independence that set out the reason for the nation’s being. “That He may maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, as each day requires, so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God; there is no one else. Let your heart therefore be wholly devoted to the LORD our God, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments, as at this day.” 1Kings 8:59–61 NASB95 Israel exists so that “all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God.” The people rejoice at the dedication, offering many sacrifices and extending the Feast of Booths (Sukkot) in celebration. Their joy reflects relief after earlier sins, such as the golden calf (Exodus 32) and idolatry at Shiloh that led to its destruction (1Samuel 3:10–18). God has shown mercy. He has chosen again to dwell among them. Solomon's rise and decline Solomon's early and late life are contrasts. Early on, he seeks wisdom (1Kings 3:9–12). God grants him wisdom and honor. His fame spreads. Nations visit him. Later, Solomon multiplies wives and concubines. He builds high places and participates in idolatrous worship (1Kings 11:1–8). The Torah had warned kings not to multiply wives, horses, or gold (Deuteronomy 17:16–17). Solomon breaks all the cautions. His heart grows divided. Some connect this decline with the tone of the book of Qohelet (Ecclesiastes). The book speaks of “vanity” or “futility” (הֶבֶל hevel, vapor). It describes many pursuits as empty. It closes with a simple conclusion: The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. Ecclesiastes 12:13 NASB95 This arc illustrates a warning. One can begin with zeal and end in compromise. Solomon's story as a mirror. It urges self-examination regarding distraction, divided affections, and misplaced trust. The Temple as a magnet for the nations Solomon's prayer also reveals God's global purpose. The Temple is not only for Israel. It functions as a magnet for the nations. Solomon prays specifically about foreigners: “Also concerning the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for Your name's sake (for they will hear of Your great name and Your mighty hand and of Your outstretched arm); when he comes and prays toward this house, hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name, to fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.” 1Kings 8:41–43 NASB 1995 Here the Temple becomes a global focal point. Nations hear of God's “great name” and “mighty hand.” They come seeking Him. The prayer asks God to answer them. The result should be that all peoples know His name and fear Him. This aligns with the calling of Abraham. God promises that in Abraham “all the families of the earth will be blessed” (Genesis 12:3 NASB 1995). Israel and its Temple exist as instruments of this wider mission. Types of foreigners One common Hebrew word for foreigner is גֵּר ger (resident alien/sojourner). Another word in some contexts is נָכְרִי nokhrí (foreigner/stranger). The root נכר, n-k-r, can mean “to recognize” or “to inspect.” This nuance suggests that some “foreigners” are not random passersby. They are people whom God “takes notice of.” They draw near because they have heard of God's reputation. They seek Him. God inspects them, in a positive sense. Therefore, commands not to oppress “the widow, the orphan, and the ger” carry weight (e.g., Deuteronomy 10:18–19). Israel must not push away those whom God is drawing near (Acts 15:10). If God is calling, His people must not block the path. The spectrum of holy and common Here is a key lesson from the judgment on priests Nadab and Abihu, and a prelude to the food laws in the following chapter: “…and so as to make a distinction between the holy and the profane, and between the unclean and the clean” Leviticus 10:10 NASB95 Here we see a pair of axes: קָדוֹשׁ kadosh (holy, set apart) חֹל chol/khol (common, profane) and inside that: טָהוֹר tahor (“clean,” fit to approach) טָמֵא tamé (“unclean,” unfit to approach) Kadosh marks what God sets apart for Himself. Khol is ordinary, not specially dedicated. Tahor refers to a state that permits approach to God's presence. Tamé describes a state that temporarily prevents such approach. Tamé does not always mean “sinful.” Many causes of “uncleanness” arise from normal life events, such as childbirth or certain of men’s and women’s bodily discharges (Leviticus 12; 15). People move between tahor and tame states over time. Sin appears more at the extreme of khol. To move away from God's purposes toward what is merely common or even idolatrous reflects moral failure. The purity system trains people to discern movements along this spectrum which may happen too gradually to be perceived. Offerings and the journey toward God Leviticus 1–7 describes various offerings in the Tabernacle. The generic term is קָרְבָּן, qorbán (offering). It derives from the root קרב, karav (to come near/approach). Each offering type pictures some dimension of drawing near to God. The burnt offering (עֹלָה olah, that which goes up) expresses total surrender (Leviticus 1). The grain offering (מִנְחָה minkha) communicates thankfulness for all Heaven provides. The חַטָּאת chatat (sin offering) and אָשָׁם, asham (guilt offering) address the move away from God’s standards and liability for doing so, intentional or not (Leviticus 4–5). The שְׁלָמִים shelamim (peace/fellowship offerings) celebrates restored relationship after confession and restitution (Leviticus 3; 7:11–21). Priests must follow instructions precisely. The death of Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu, in Leviticus 10:1–2, shows the seriousness. Their “unauthorized fire” brings judgment. Moses then explains that priests must learn to distinguish and to teach these distinctions (Leviticus 10:8–11). This system as a long-term lesson. It trains Israel to understand approach to God, the cost of sin, and the joy of reconciliation. Leviticus 11: Food for life Leviticus 11 applies this logic to food. It lists animals that Israel may eat and those it must not eat. The categories mark some animals as טָהוֹר tahor (clean/fit), and others as טָמֵא tame (unclean/unfit). People can have limited control over many causes of uncleanness. Yet they do control what they eat. Thus, food becomes a daily training tool. By abstaining from certain creatures, Israel “fasts” from a category associated with death, predation or impurity. The chapter concludes with the purpose for these laws: “For I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. And you shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming things that swarm on the earth. For I am the LORD who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God; thus you shall be holy, for I am holy.” Leviticus 11:45 NASB95 Here God links food laws to His own holiness and to the exodus. He rescued Israel from bondage. He now calls them to be distinct. Mark 7: What did Yeshua declare clean? Mark 7 records a dispute over handwashing. Some Pharisees and scribes criticize Yeshua's disciples for eating without following the “tradition of the elders” (Mark 7:1–5). The tradition views the marketplace as a source of ritual contamination, defiling food that would be considered “clean” per Leviticus 11. Therefore, one must wash upon returning. Yeshua responds by quoting Isaiah 29:13: “’This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me. But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’” Mark 7:6–7 NASB95 He accuses them of “neglecting the commandment of God” and holding to human tradition (Mark 7:8–13). He then states: “There is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.” Mark 7:15 NASB95 Later He explains to His disciples: “That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.” Mark 7:20–23 NASB95 First, Yeshua addresses ritual handwashing traditions, not the Torah's food distinctions in Leviticus 11. Second, He identifies the heart as the primary source of defilement. Third, He challenges a system that can label what God calls clean as unclean, simply due to contact with others. The statement about food passing into the stomach and out “into the latrine” (Mark 7:19) highlights the temporary nature of external intake. In contrast, corrupt thoughts and desires lodge in the heart and shape behavior. The issue is spiritual hygiene, not mere external contact. Acts 10 and Peter's vision Peter’s vision of a sheet descending from heaven (Acts 10) helps bring together the lesson of the food laws and the prophecies of a bigger tent for Israel. This passage also is pointed to along with Mark 7 by commentators who say the food laws are obsolete post-resurrection. The sheet in the vision contains “all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air” (Acts 10:12 NASB95). A voice says, “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!” (Acts 10:13 NASB95). Peter objects, saying he has never eaten anything “unholy” (κοινός koinós, literally, “common”) or “unclean” (ἀκάθαρτος akáthartos) (Acts 10:14; cp. Ezekiel 4:14, context Ezekiel 4:9–17). These Greek terms are how the Septuagint (LXX) translates חֹל khol (common, profane) and טָמֵא tamé (“unclean,” unfit to approach). The voice replies: “What God has cleansed (καθαρίζω katharı́zō), no longer consider unholy (koinós).” Acts 10:15 NASB95 In other words, what God has made tahor (fit to approach His presence), no longer consider far off from God. Soon after the vision, men from Cornelius, a Gentile centurion, arrive. The Spirit directs Peter to go with them “without misgivings” (Acts 10:20 NASB95). When Peter enters Cornelius's house, he explains the true meaning of the vision: “You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a man who is a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; and yet God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.” Acts 10:28 NASB95 God has cleansed Gentiles who fear Him and seek Him. Put into the lesson of Leviticus 11, Heaven no longer sees a Gentile called-out believer as a tamé pig or bat but as a tahor bovine or chicken, because the Gentile has responded to Heaven’s call to come into the Kingdom. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Cornelius and his household confirms this (Acts 10:44–48). Peter’s comment about associating with or visiting foreigners came to a head years later, as recorded by apostle Paul in Galatians 2. What’s behind Peter’s willingness to eat with Gentile believers in one case in Galatia but not when certain Jewish believers visited from Jerusalem is reflected in rabbinical disagreements over both practices in the centuries that followed. But at the Jewish table of the 1st Century, all of the laws (both those well confirmed as well as those emerging within the rabbinic debates) governing purities came into play as well. These involved the separation of clean and unclean animals, the laws of ritual slaughter to assure that the blood had been properly disposed of, and a separation from all things tainted by the common idolatry of the pagan society in which Israel lived. Taken together, these concerns gave plenty of motivation for “building fences,” the most obvious being avoiding the Gentiles all together. In this sense, remaining separate from the Gentiles was more a conscious effort to maintain the purity laws than it was to uphold any prejudiced view against non-Jews. What is more, at a time when national identity was being threatened by Hellenism in general, it is understandable how purity laws and the food laws that went along with them became identity markers for the Jewish community. Tim Hegg, Galatians Commentary, TorahResource, 2002, 2010. p. 62. The vision addresses social and ceremonial barriers between Jews and Gentiles, not the abolition of all food distinctions. The main point is that God now reveals clearly that people from the nations may be brought near on the same basis of faith and obedience. Tradition, discernment, and the Spirit's work The events of Acts 10 lead to debate in Acts 11 and the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15. Some argue that Gentile believers must fully convert to the Judaisms of the day, and circumcision was a key marker of that shift. Others observe that God has already given these Gentiles the Holy Spirit. The council concludes that Gentiles should not be “troubled” with an additional yoke of circumcision before acceptance into God’s covenant (Acts 15:19–20). They must, however, abstain from idolatry, sexual immorality, and blood as the new believer learns God’s ways each Shabbat (Sabbath, Acts 15:21). These basic requirements align with core Torah principles (Leviticus 18–19). For established believers, the key issue is discernment. When God moves, His people must recognize it. They must avoid calling His work “unclean” (because it’s outside our traditions or extrabiblical expectations) or attributing those works to the Adversary (Matthew 9:34; 12:24; Acts 5:27-39). They must not let protective traditions — as praiseworthy as they might be — override God's revealed purpose. Internal purity and love for the nations Yeshua's list of defiling things in one’s heart in Mark 7:21–23 mirrors lists of “works of the flesh” in passages like Galatians 5:19–21. These outcomes reveal the state of the heart. In contrast, the “fruit of the Spirit” reflects a heart transformed by God (Galatians 5:22–23). The purity system of Torah, the Temple worship, and Yeshua's teaching together point toward a central goal. God wants a people who are set apart in heart and conduct — inside and outside. He wants them to reflect His character among the nations. He wants them to welcome those He calls, whether from Israel or from the Gentiles. Therefore, Yeshua warns against judging others by outward appearance or current condition only (John 7:24; Leviticus 19:15; Isaiah 11:3; Zechariah 7:9). A persecutor like Saul of Tarsus can become a devoted emissary (Acts 9:1–22). A former enemy can become a powerful witness. Believers should pray for their enemies, as Yeshua commands (Matthew 5:44). They should remain open to God's surprising grace. Heart of the matter Leviticus 9–11 teaches distinctions between holy and common, clean and unclean. 1Kings 8 shows that the Temple stands as a beacon to all nations. Mark 7 reveals that true defilement arises from the heart, not merely from external contact or neglected traditions. Acts 10–15 confirms that God cleanses people from the nations and brings them near through faith and the work of the Spirit. The categories of kadosh (holy) and khol (common), and of tahor (clean) and tamé (unclean), remain essential lesson-practices. They call God's people to continually examine what they bring into their lives. They also call us to recognize whom God is drawing near. The ultimate aim is that “all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God; there is no one else” (1Kings 8:60 NASB95). The post From Torah to table: How ancient food laws speak to modern faith (Leviticus 11; 1Kings 8; Mark 7; Acts 10) appeared first on Hallel Fellowship.

Jackson athletes tackle climate change, immigration and belonging in 'Internal Peaks' film by KHOL

A seemingly all-powerful sorceress rules over her own island domain.  She enchants not only nature, but also men, who are helpless to resist her charms.  And when she does tire of those besotted men, it's nothing that a transfiguration from man to animal cannot solve.  However, downfall is imminent when she truly falls in love with one of the ensnared men.  It turns out that this man's true love is a fearsome warrior woman, whose skills rival those of Charlemagne's famed paladins.  (Big trouble for Alcina!) This story, like Vivaldi's Orlando Furioso (Ep. 130), is based on a 16th century epic that is so rich in dramatic detail and power that it has inspired countless works of art in myriad mediums.  Alcina is one of the three (!) operas by Handel based on this source material.  Join Pat and guest co-host Jeff Counts as we meet this enchanting woman and the characters who surround her. Jeff Counts is the general manager of the Grand Teton Music Festival and KHOL's film critic.

A centuries-old martial art makes its way around the globe for World Tai Chi Day by KHOL

“If you're thinking you're stinking” was just one of the many nuggets of wisdom Clayton Eisberg shared with his bandmates in dadweed while in the midst of their first tour of the Mountain West. Their name is more tongue and cheek than a literal homage to cannabis - instead their mission is to savor the finer things in life. The band's sound blends traditional bluegrass with elements of jazz, R＆B, and pop, reflecting a wide spectrum of American folk music. Guitarist Keenan Dorn and bassist Ian Lindsay both agree that bluegrass is more accessible now than ever before, with universal themes of heartbreak and adventure that underscore the music and transcends language and racial barriers. The trio stopped by KHOL to discuss their tour of the Rockies so far, jamming in the parking lot of festivals, and the future of bluegrass to come.

Miami in the National Championship? You gotta be shittin' me! In the College Football Playoff, No. 1 Indiana brings a +18 turnover margin to a Peach Bowl rematch against Oregon, where Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza aims to keep the Ducks' red-zone woes frozen. Meanwhile, the Fiesta Bowl pits an Ole Miss offense, faster than Lane Kiffin's moving truck, against a Miami pass rush that hits harder than a student loan payment. Whether the Hurricanes can crack the "Chambliss Code" remains the big question, especially with the Rebels' coaching staff currently in a state of musical chairs. In the NFL, the Rams hope Davante Adams' return prevents another Week 13 "trap" against a Bryce Young-led Panthers squad that's suddenly full of "contagious aura." The Bears and Packers face off in a "rubber match" with bragging rights so ancient they predate WWIl.

Cc Madhya 14.17-100 https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/14/ ------------------------------------------------------------ The greatest achievement for a devotee is to become a servant of the servants of the Lord. Actually, no one should desire to become the direct servant of the Lord. That is not a very good idea. When Prahlāda Mahārāja was offered a benediction by Nṛsiṁhadeva, Prahlāda rejected all kinds of material benedictions, but he prayed to become the servant of the servants of the Lord. When Dhruva Mahārāja was offered a benediction by Kuvera, the treasurer of the demigods, Dhruva could have asked for unlimited material opulence, but he simply asked for the benediction of becoming the servant of the servants of the Lord. Kholāvecā Śrīdhara was a very poor man, but when Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted to give him a benediction, he also prayed to the Lord to be allowed to remain a servant of the servants of the Lord. The conclusion is that being the servant of the servants of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the highest benediction one can desire.

In this gripping season finale of Season 9 from The Fine Line, we hear from Jason Dunlop, a Jackson Hole local who's been going on solo snowmobile missions deep into the Wyoming backcountry for more than 15 years. In March 2025, his string of successful adventures came to a crashing halt, leading to a complicated rescue that revealed many difficult lessons. The episode covers several topics, such as: emergency satellite texting via an iPhone; how and when to call for help; the dangers of complacency; and how SAR missions are never easy, even when they might appear to be on paper. Interview by Matt Hansen. Editing and sound by Melinda Binks. This story was recorded in the studios of KHOL 89.1 FM. The Fine Line theme song is by Anne and Pete Sibley, with additional music provided by Ben Winship. Original artwork by Jen Reddy Ink. This episode is sponsored by Arc'teryx.
