Podcasts about Moral law

In this engaging episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse Schwamb and Tony Arsenal dive into the rich theological and practical significance of the Sabbath in Reformed theology. They begin by discussing the dual aspects of the Sabbath as a creation ordinance and a ceremonial practice, explaining how it is both a moral obligation for all humanity and a type that pointed forward to Christ's redemptive work. The hosts emphasize that the Sabbath is a blessing, not a burden, designed for rest, worship, and spiritual renewal. The conversation explores how the Sabbath transitions from the seventh day in the Old Testament to the first day, the Lord's Day, in the New Testament. This shift highlights its fulfillment in Christ's resurrection, which establishes a new rhythm of worship and rest for Christians. The hosts also tackle the complex issue of Sabbath observance in persecuted regions, addressing how believers might navigate the challenges of gathering for worship in secrecy or under threat. Throughout the episode, Jesse and Tony reflect on why the Sabbath remains vital in the Christian life. They emphasize that while Christ is our ultimate rest, the weekly observance of the Lord's Day continues to foster spiritual growth, communal worship, and reliance on God's provision. The discussion is punctuated with practical insights, theological clarity, and a pastoral heart for the global church. Key Points: The Sabbath as a Creation Ordinance: The Sabbath was established at creation as a perpetual moral obligation for all humanity, commemorating God's work in creation and providing a rhythm of rest and worship. The Sabbath's Fulfillment in Christ: As a ceremonial law, the Sabbath pointed forward to Christ's redemptive work, which fulfills the deeper rest and reconciliation it symbolizes. The Transition to the Lord's Day: Following Christ's resurrection, the Sabbath shifted to the first day of the week, reflecting the new creation in Christ and the church's ongoing commitment to gather and worship. Sabbath Observance in Persecuted Regions: The hosts thoughtfully consider how Christians in areas of persecution might navigate the challenges of gathering for worship, emphasizing the importance of wisdom, humility, and reliance on God's providence. The Sabbath as a Blessing, Not a Burden: The weekly observance of the Lord's Day is an opportunity for spiritual renewal, worship, and rest, reminding believers to trust in God's provision and fully rest in Christ. Questions for Reflection: Why is the Sabbath considered a moral obligation for all humanity, and how does it reflect God's character? How does the shift from the seventh day to the first day (the Lord's Day) enhance our understanding of Christ's work in redemption? In what ways can Christians balance rest and worship on the Sabbath to experience its full blessing? How should Christians in persecuted regions approach Sabbath observance while navigating safety concerns? What practical steps can you take to make the Sabbath a meaningful day of rest and worship in your life?

In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey and Carlton Wynne are joined by Rev. Stephen Spinnenweber, author of Loving the Law: The Law of God in the Life of the Believer, to explore the enduring significance of God's moral law in the Christian life. They discuss the book's development, its theological foundations, and its practical applications for pastors, congregants, and Christian parents. The conversation clarifies the Reformed understanding of the threefold use of the law and addresses common misconceptions surrounding legalism and antinomianism. Stephen offers a pastoral and theologically rich vision for delighting in the law as a gracious guide for believers—one rooted in God's character and purpose for humanity. The trio also touches on civil use of the law, the Sabbath, and the broader cultural and political implications of God's moral order. This episode is a refreshing call to recover a joyful obedience to God's commandments—not as a means of earning salvation, but as the grateful response of those saved by grace and empowered by the Spirit.

Send us a textWhat happens when a human being stands in the direct presence of God? Moses emerged from his 40-day encounter on Mount Sinai with a face so radiant that the Israelites were afraid to approach him. The solution? A veil that concealed this divine afterglow. But this simple piece of cloth carries profound spiritual significance that resonates throughout Scripture and into our lives today.In this thought-provoking discussion, we dig beneath the surface of Exodus 34 to uncover what the Holy Spirit wants us to learn from Moses' veiled face. We explore why Moses fasted for 40 days and 40 nights without food or water, examining how this pattern of "40" appears at pivotal moments throughout Scripture—from Noah's flood to Jesus' wilderness temptation—marking seasons of spiritual transition and new beginnings.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we consider Paul's interpretation in 2 Corinthians 3, where he reveals that Moses' veil concealed not just glory, but the temporary, fading nature of that glory. This becomes a powerful metaphor for how many approach Scripture today—with a "veil" over their hearts that only Christ can remove. We draw connections to other biblical moments like the Mount of Transfiguration and the tearing of the temple veil at Jesus' crucifixion, revealing a divine thread woven through God's redemptive story.Beyond just theological exploration, this episode challenges us to ask: Are we approaching God's Word as mere history, or are we allowing it to transform us? Are we still living behind veils of our own making, or have we embraced the liberty that comes when "the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom"? Join us as we discover how we can experience God's glory with unveiled faces, being transformed into His image "from glory to glory."Support the show

Send us a textWhat exactly constitutes God's covenant with His people? Was it limited to the Ten Commandments written on stone tablets, or did it encompass all 613 Levitical laws? This fundamental theological question shapes how we understand our relationship with divine law today.Our panel of Bible scholars dives deep into Exodus, examining the precise language that "these were the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments." This wording suggests a meaningful distinction between the Decalogue and the broader Levitical system that followed.The discussion reveals a compelling framework: the Ten Commandments represent God's universal moral law—principles that transcend time and culture—while the Levitical laws functioned as Israel's civil and ecclesiastical code. One participant brilliantly compares this to modern constitutional principles versus specific legislative rules that govern daily life.When Jesus entered the scene, He perfectly fulfilled the moral law while challenging misinterpretations of Levitical practices—not rejecting divine law but exposing centuries of human misunderstanding. His redemptive work frees believers from the curse of the law while empowering us to honor God's unchanging moral principles.For believers today, this conversation matters deeply. We still honor the Ten Commandments not as a path to salvation but because they reflect God's character and what is "good and just and righteous and holy." Meanwhile, the specific Levitical practices were fulfilled in Christ and no longer bind us in the same way.Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of covenant, law, and grace—and discover how understanding these distinctions can transform your faith journey.

Send us a textThe boundaries of God's law and its application to believers spark a vibrant, thought-provoking discussion in this episode. What exactly was Christ's righteousness, and where did it come from? We dive deep into understanding how Christ's perfect obedience to God's law brings reconciliation with the Father - and how this righteousness is imputed to all who believe, regardless of heritage.A fascinating tension emerges as we explore whether the Ten Commandments were exclusively for the Jewish people or universally applicable. Through examining key passages including Hebrews 8, Romans 2, and Galatians 3, we unravel the relationship between the old covenant with Israel and the new covenant in Christ. The conversation illuminates how God writes His moral law on believers' hearts while freeing us from the ceremonial and Levitical priesthood laws.Particularly compelling is our exploration of conscience as a universal moral compass. As one participant notes, "They have the work of the law written in their hearts... their consciences all the while either accusing them or excusing them." This natural knowledge of right and wrong exists across cultural boundaries, pointing to God's imprint on human hearts even before direct revelation.The discussion builds toward understanding that while the old covenant was specifically with Israel, the new covenant extends God's promise to people from every nation through faith in Christ. "If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise."Join us for this intellectually stimulating conversation where respectful disagreement leads to spiritual growth. As one participant beautifully summarizes: "This is what church should look like - being able to talk through these things and get to the truth together." Listen, then search the Scriptures for yourself, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth.Support the show

Segment 2: • Faith in Science or Creator?: A biomedical engineering student claims belief in science, yet can't explain the origin of matter or order in the universe. • Moral Law and Conscience: Confronting guilt through the lens of the Ten Commandments, exposing human imperfection. • What's in it for Me?: A deeper understanding of our flawed nature and the need for redemption. Segment 3: • Cultural Christianity: A young man raised in a Christian home admits he's “still searching,” unsure about committing to faith. • Gospel Clarity: The Bible's message isn't about being good—it's about Jesus' work to save sinners. • What's in it for Me?: Assurance of forgiveness and peace through faith, not striving. Segment 4: • Eternal Stakes: A Catholic student discusses salvation and the ultimate hope of heaven but struggles to articulate the core message. • Goodness Redefined: Breaking down human misconceptions of goodness, highlighting the need for God's grace. • What's in it for Me?: Eternal security and clarity on what truly saves—faith in Jesus, not works. ___ Thanks for listening!

Honor was once something that was taken deadly seriously in the West. It was not a matter about which one joked. A man would go to great lengths to maintain his honor, and a woman would go to great lengths to defend hers. In our modern culture, honor has been all but forgotten by the bulk of the population — it has become something so foreign, so alien that most men no longer even know what the word means. But honor is necessary to maintain civilization, and so are shame and guilt. Unto the one who conducts himself according to the Moral Law and conforms his behavior to the norms of his civilization we bestow honor, and upon the one who falls short of these standards we heap shame to add to the guilt of his conscience. Together, honor, shame, and guilt form part of the foundation upon which society and civilization rest; without these, no civilization can long endure. As Christian men, we must endeavor to restore these things to our society, before it is too late and we have fallen too far.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Lk 6:12-19 - Jesus departed to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God. When day came, He called His disciples to Himself, and from them He chose Twelve, whom He also named Apostles: Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called a Zealot, and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. And He came down with them and stood on a stretch of level ground. A great crowd of his disciples and a large number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and even those who were tormented by unclean spirits were cured. Everyone in the crowd sought to touch Him because power came forth from Him and healed them all.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - LK 5:33-39 - The scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus, “The disciples of John the Baptist fast often and offer prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same; but Yours eat and drink.” Jesus answered them, “Can you make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, and when the Bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.” And He also told them a parable. “No one tears a piece from a new cloak to patch an old one. Otherwise, he will tear the new and the piece from it will not match the old cloak. Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. And no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.'” First Friday of the Month Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2) Sean McNamara, director of the new movie: Reagan 3) Jon Voight and Dennis Quaid talk faith in new movie: Reagan https://www.oursundayvisitor.com/jon-voight-dennis-quaid-talk-faith-in-new-reagan-movie/ 4) Consecration of the presidential election to the Blessed Virgin Mary CCC 1971-1986: The Moral Law, continued
