It's Tuesday, May 13th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Four Christian families evicted in Laos Four Christian families have lost their homes, after being evicted from their village in north-western Laos a week ago.  They were forced to leave their possessions behind, and leave their home in the Luang Namtha province in northern Laos, near the border of Thailand.   BarnabasAid.org has provided funds to cover the believers' immediate needs for rice, cooking oil, hygiene products, and other essentials. United Kingdom's disturbing euthanasia bill The United Kingdom House of Commons is considering a euthanasia bill.   A rather macabre government appraisal has estimated a cost savings of 59.6 million pounds for the killing of 1,000 and 4,500 people per year. The government report also noted other cost savings from the “social care sector and in social security payments.” The bill would allow the killing of a person whom doctors prophesy to only have six months or less to live. Deuteronomy 27:25 speaks to this when the leaders of Israel said, “Cursed is the one who takes a bribe to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!'” Christian clerk, who refused to certify homosexual “marriage,” goes before Supremes Liberty Counsel, a Christian legal advocacy group, will be appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court for Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis of Rowan County. She is arguing that the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment protects her from liability and damages for refusing to issue a “same-sex marriage” license against her religious beliefs. Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said that the case “underscores why the U.S. Supreme Court should overturn Obergefell v. Hodges because that decision threatens the religious liberty of many Americans who believe that marriage is a sacred institution between one man and one woman.” Closer to nuclear war today The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has moved the Doomsday Clock to 89 seconds before midnight. The clock, which estimates the risks of nuclear war, has been in operation for 70 years.   During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the clock moved to 7 minutes to midnight. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the clock moved to 17 minutes. The clock moved to 2 minutes in 2018, and now 89 seconds to midnight in 2025. The organization attributes “profound global instability and geopolitical tension” to the moving of the needle. “King of Kings” animated film makes $65 million The Mormon-owned Angel Studios has succeeded again — with the film “King of Kings,” an animated story of a little boy who takes a journey through events in the life of Jesus. (audio clip of trailer) FATHER: “Our story begins 2,000 years ago, when baby Jesus came into the world.” SON: “Wait, wait, stop. If it's not about a king, then I'm not interested!” FATHER: “This story is about the King of kings.” SON: “Wow!” FATHER: “It has angels and wicked kings and miracles.” SON: “Look at all the fish.” FATHER: “Oh, so you want to hear the story now?” SON: “Uh-huh!” So far, the film has collected $65 million at the box office. That exceeds the Angel Studios' previous box office total of $14 million for the film, “His Only Son” on Abraham's trek to Mount Moriah. Last year's film, “Cabrini,” produced by Angel Studios, was a treatment of the Roman Catholic saint by the name of Maria Francesca Cabrini who established 67 schools and orphanages in New York City in the late 1800s for poor, Italian immigrants. This production earned $21 million at the box office. The Mormon-owned studio's top box office hit was “The Sound of Freedom,” earning $251 million in 2023 — a film on the subject of sex trafficking. The Chief Executive Officer of Angel Studios is Neal Harmon, a Mormon. Tentative trade agreement between China and America U.S. President Donald Trump announced Monday a temporary China-US trade agreement, which would cut U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%. China would cut their tariffs on U.S. imports from 125% to 10%. TRUMP: “Yesterday, we achieved a total reset with China. After productive talks in Geneva, both sides now agree to reduce the tariffs imposed after April 2nd to 10% for 90 days as negotiators continue in the largest structural issues. “That doesn't include the tariffs that are already on, that are our tariffs, and it doesn't include tariffs on cars, steel, aluminum, or tariffs that may be imposed on pharmaceuticals because we want to bring the pharmaceutical businesses back to the United States. They're already starting to come back now, based on tariffs, because they don't want to pay 25%, 50%, or 100% tariffs. So, they're moving them back to the United States. “The talks in Geneva were very friendly. The relationship is very good. We're not looking to hurt China. China was being hurt very badly. They were closing up factories. They were having a lot of unrest, and they were very happy to be able to do something with us. The relationship is very, very good. I'll speak to President Xi maybe at the end of the week.” The deal will operate during a trial period of 90 days. U.S. government debt spirals higher The U.S. government is still on a big spending spree. The U.S. Treasury records a $1.049 trillion budget deficit for the first seven months of fiscal 2025. That's up 23% over a year earlier. Social Security spending is up 9% year-over-year. Outlays reached a record number of $4.159 trillion for the year to date. Gutsy GOP Congresswoman wants to defund Planned Parenthood And finally, Breitbart News reports that Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois is behind a move to defund Planned Parenthood's abortion funding through the budget reconciliation process. Miller noted that “abortions made up 97.1% of Planned Parenthood's pregnancy services from 2021-2022, performing nearly 400,000 abortions.” The House Committee on Energy and Commerce released a portion of the proposed bill on Monday, with the provision to strip abortion providers of funding.   Mary Miller is a homeschooling mom of seven and grandmother of 20, hailing from the state of Illinois. Proverbs 24:11-12 reminds us, “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, ‘Surely we did not know this,' does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 13th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Join us as we explore the profound meaning of worship through the lens of Scripture. In this powerful message, you'll discover that worship is not just a ritual but an anointing that comes from the depths of your heart. Drawing from John 4:23, we dive into what it truly means to worship—keeping your idols at the altar, surrendering everything to God, and prioritizing Him above all else.We'll journey through the story of Abraham's faith in Genesis, from his sacrifices in chapters 12 and 13 to the ultimate test of obedience on Mount Moriah in chapter 22. You'll learn that true worship often involves giving up what is dear to us, and how God rewards that faithfulness with unimaginable blessings.We'll also reflect on the beautiful encounter between Jesus and the sinful woman in Luke 7, highlighting how worship transcends social boundaries and is a refuge for the hurt and rejected. Whether you've felt the weight of sin or simply seek a deeper connection with God, this message is for you. Let's uncover the transformative power of worship together and understand how the Father is seeking genuine worshippers.

A CHILDS FAITH ENTERS THE KINGOM

A CHILDS FAITH ENTERS THE KINGDOM  I've been talking lately about principalities and powers of darkness and the angelic rebellions in the heavens that Jesus overcame for us on the cross. But aligned with that there is the wonderful ministry of the angels who obediently serve God the Father by serving us as his children. God delights to see his children protected and cared for at as early an age as possible. The Bible says that God has assigned angels to help them on this journey of the inner life of their souls, as Jesus said to his disciples, Matthew 18:10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. I don't yet fully understand how that works but I think a lot happens that we don't realise is happening.  Our heavenly Father never ceases to see us as his children, but we may cease to honour and know him as our Father. Growing older is not always growing wiser and the reality of having to become mature and independent is a hugely significant responsibility. Fortunately, God allows us to go through our foolishness and our failures and to relearn and to get back on track, and Jesus had to admonish his disciples on one occasion about having to do some of this relearning. It occurred at the same time that he told his disciples to never despise the little children whom they regarded as a nuisance. The little children were playfully enjoying being around Jesus, but the disciples said that they were getting in the way of them getting the most out the serious things Jesus was teaching them. He then taught them the most important and serious thing that they needed to know and relearn – that they had to become like little children. At that time some parents in the crowd had brought their children to Jesus for him to bless them Matthew 19:13 Then little children were brought to Him that He might lay His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for their simplicity and joy and trust express the kingdom of heaven.” And He laid His hands on them... Luke adds deeper meaning to this story and quotes Jesus saying ‘Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter into it.” (Luke 18:15).  I want to speak today about a child's faith that was immortalised in Scripture – the child's name was Isaac. God had told Abraham and his wife Sarah, who was well past childbearing age that they were going to have a child, and that through that child Abraham would bring blessing upon all the families in the earth (Genesis 18:10). That finally came to pass miraculously, and they were greatly blessed. But then God told Abraham to sacrifice this promised child Isaac on an altar at a place called Mount Moriah. The Bible says that Abraham obeyed God and that his faith was accounted to him as righteous. That means that his faith put the desires of his heart in alignment with the desire of God's heart. We are encouraged to learn from the faith of Abraham, who walked up the hill with his son Isaac to offer him to the lord as a blood sacrifice. But something needs to be said about the extraordinary faith and obedience that was shown by the child Isaac who walked up the hill to be sacrificed. As they walked up the hill in the story in Genesis Isaac says to his father ‘look there is the wood and here is the fire but where is the lamb for sacrifice. And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together. Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. Isaac with a ‘Yes Dad' in his heart prepared to become that sacrifice on the altar under the knife saying,  Then an angel enters the picture and calls Abraham to put the knife away – that reflects the words of Jesus about angels always seeing the face of the Father for his children.  And the story goes on in Genesis to say ‘Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in some bushes by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of the place The-LORD-Will-Provide' (Jehovah Jireh - Genesis 22). Isaac as a child had just as much faith and hope in that resurrection as Abraham, and Jesus knew and undertsood that same child-like faith and trust for himself. Isaac as the son of Abraham obeyed his father and Jesus as the Son of God obeyed his Heavenly Father. Jesus understood what Isaac felt when he himself was on the cross committing himself as a sacrifice to his Father for our sakes as his brothers and sisters and knowing he would be resurrected.  The Bible says about Abraham's faith for Isaac that Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death"(Hebrews 11:19). This means that Abraham's faith in God's power to bring Isaac back, even if he were to die, was strong enough to fulfill God's promise of blessing all the families of the earth through his son Isaac. This was the first evidence of resurrection life put into action in the Bible. This was not only extraordinary faith and obedience – it was an extraordinary hope - Abraham, hoping against hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations (Romans 4:17). Abraham faith and Isaac faith is all about the resurrection faith of trusting Father God through the difficulties of life with a ‘hoping against hope' that our ‘Yes Dad' in all things brings God's good will and Heavenly life on earth for our lives. There would have been no resurrection life faith for Abraham to pass on to us if he had not been willing to offer his son Isaac to God on Mount Moriah. And there would have been no resurrection life faith for Isaac to experience if he had not trusted his father, Abraham. There would have been no resurrection life from the dead for Jesus to give to us if he had not offered his life to his Father for our sakes on the cross. And Jesus wanted his disciples to understand what he meant when he said that unless they received the Kingdom of God with that trusting childlike faith, they would not fully enter into the Kingdom in the power of his resurrection. That resurrection only be experienced by us through his death on the cross. Jesus had told them earlier that he was going to be killed and be raised on the third day. The disciples of Jesus did not want him to die on a cross and Peter was speaking for all of them when he admonished Jesus at that time, saying  ‘No Jesus, that is not going to happen to you', and Jesus said ‘get behind me Satan, you don't understand the things of God, only the things of man'. Even though the sacrifices of Abraham and Isaac and Jesus were momentous acts of faith and hope Jesus wanted the disciples to know that no matter what the scale of sacrifice was, their ‘yes Dad' to God's will in times of difficulty would always supernaturally bring God's will in Heaven upon the earth. ‘Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven' is not just a noble phrase from the Lord's prayer, it is a true statement of faith and hope from a child of God who expects to see the most difficult of situations turn into an expression of God being glorified, or on display, in their everyday lives. Jesus wants us to experience a life of full spiritual satisfaction as a child of God by seeing ourselves as his brother or sister and being cared for by a loving Father in Heaven. There is a life of childlike faith in most children that trusts that mum and dad are sorting out all of the important things in life for them and fixing everything that gets broken and life works out better when you do what you are told, and life goes on and you presume that you are going to live forever, and most of that thinking changes when we become adults. When we look at a cross, we see a vertical beam crossed by a Horizontal beam. The vertical beam is the will of God coming from heaven down into the earth, and the horizontal beam is the will of humanity that crosses the will of God. Where the point of crossing occurs is where our will obeys God's will – that is the place of our ‘yes Dad'. And that point is where the heart of Jesus would have been located when he hung on that cross. That sacrificial act of obedience took his Divinity and humanity into his resurrection glory in Heaven and it included all of us. When we believe in what he has done for us and receive the Spirit of his resurrected life into our hearts we begin to share not only that crossing point of sacrificial obedience with his heart, but we share the resurrection life that lifts us above the earthbound tyranny of the ways of this world.  Jesus knew what he was talking about to the disciples when he spoke about becoming as little children in order to enter the kingdom life of God here in the earth. An obedient child of God who has a ‘yes Dad' to God in their heart will hear their Heavenly Father saying to them. ‘For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, and when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD', (Jeremiah 29.11) Amen

Imagine the weight of the moment as Abraham, with unwavering faith, stands on Mount Moriah, ready to obey God's command. Dr. John takes us into this powerful scene where God provides a ram as a substitute for Isaac. This act of provision points forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God, whose death on the cross offers salvation to all. As Dr. John connects the dots between Abraham's faith and Christ's sacrifice, we see how God's redemptive plan was unfolding long before Jesus walked the earth.Confident Faith: In this 4-week series on Genesis 18-25, Dr. John Neufeld looks at the life of Abraham and unpacks the topic of faith. How is faith formed? How does faith mature? And how can faith help us trust in what God has promised, even though we can't see it yet.

In this powerful exploration of faith and sacrifice, Pastor Snook preaches on the timeless story of Abraham and Isaac from Genesis 22. This sermon challenges us to examine our own willingness to trust God completely, even when His commands seem incomprehensible. Jehovah-Jireh - the Lord who provides - emerges as a central theme, reminding us that God's provision often follows our obedience. As we reflect on Abraham's journey up Mount Moriah, we're invited to consider what 'Isaacs' we might be clinging to in our own lives. Are we truly willing to lay everything on the altar for God? Pastor Snook encourages us to step out in faith, trusting that when we obey God's voice, He will provide in ways we can't imagine. The parallel drawn between Abraham's near-sacrifice of Isaac and God's sacrifice of Jesus on the same mountain centuries later offers a profound insight into God's love and the ultimate provision He made for our salvation.

In this sermon, we looked at Genesis 22:1–18 and the powerful story of Abraham offering Isaac on Mount Moriah. This emotional account points us to the incredible generosity of our Heavenly Father, who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all. As Abraham obeyed God's command to offer his beloved son, we see a reflection of the gospel—where God the Father sacrificed His only Son, Jesus, in our place as the ultimate substitute. Just as Isaac carried the wood for his sacrifice and submitted willingly to his father, so Jesus carried the cross and obeyed God completely, even to death. In the same mountain region where God provided a ram for Abraham, He later provided Jesus, the Lamb, to be sacrificed for the world. This story invites us to stand in awe of God's provision, His mercy, and the overwhelming generosity of His love with which He gave His only begotten Son for our redemption.

As we delve into the parallels between Isaac's near-sacrifice and Jesus' ultimate sacrifice on the cross, we are reminded of God's unwavering provision and love. Through Abraham's story, we learn that even in our most challenging tests, we can choose to trust in God's character and promises, knowing that He is faithful to provide and fulfill His word.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to today's episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where we are on day 67 of our journey through Scripture. Our host, Hunter, guides us through the powerful narratives of Deuteronomy chapters seven through nine and the pivotal events of Mark 15. In this episode, we reflect on God's steadfast love and mercy despite human rebellion, as seen in the Israelites' journey and the sacrificial love of Christ on the cross. Hunter encourages us to see the Bible's invitation to draw closer to Jesus as our advocate and savior. Through prayer, Hunter leads us in seeking God's presence and purpose for our lives. Join us as we explore these profound truths and open our hearts to the wisdom and love of God. Let's walk this journey together, and remember, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: They were rebellious. They worshiped other gods even after God had rescued them from Egypt. After all that, they would still reject him. Like all people everywhere, we reject God. But God doesn't reject us. I know it sounds like this, like God is wanting to reject them, to do away with them in these passages we've read today. And God knows that's how we often feel, don't we? That God has rejected us, that he despises us, that he wants to judge us. And no doubt, this is what Moses believes to be true about the heart of God. But God's heart is not fully known to Moses yet. He, like we, are seeing things through a glass darkly. But one day, he will see fully. One day, he will fully know the heart of God. The day that he sees Jesus face to face. The day that he sees the Son of God offering himself on behalf of all rebellious humanity. On another mountain on Mount Moriah. On a cross. There in the Christological light of eternity, the true heart of God is being seen by Moses, and the heart he sees far exceeds what Moses could even think or imagine. Moses had to plead over and over again for these people. Over and over again, he falls face down to the ground and pleads time and time again that God would be merciful, and God was merciful. God's mercy was not because these people had somehow merited mercy, but because God had promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would find a way to rescue them, to bless them, to make them his own. And his plan was not just for them, but for all people. Mark 15 shows us exactly how God's going to do that by offering himself, by pouring out his self-giving, sacrificial love on the cross, taking punishment on our behalf, ransoming us from sin, death, and the grave. He's doing something about rebel-hearted people there on that cross. He's forgiving them, shedding his blood for them, embracing them. He's rescuing them from their delusion. He has not come to judge the world, but to save the world through him. Someone greater than Moses is our advocate now. Jesus is the greater advocate. Jesus is undoing what Adam did. The vicarious life of Christ was not just for the descendants of Abraham. This was for all humanity. First Corinthians 15 verse 22: For as in Adam all die, so in Christ, all will be made alive. Jesus is a better Moses, and he has come to reveal the Father's heart to the world and to make a way for us to enter in and to occupy, not the land, but life in him. So, let us enter in by faith. God's good heart has been revealed, and you are his. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, and my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible. I'm Hunter, your host for today's journey through scripture. In this episode titled "January 8th, 2025," we're diving into powerful stories of faith and obedience from Genesis chapters 20 to 22 and Luke chapter 8. We'll explore the dramatic account of Abraham nearly sacrificing his son Isaac, only to be stopped by an angel and discovering God's provision through a ram. We'll also travel with Jesus as He teaches through parables, performs miracles like calming storms, casting out demons, and healing the sick. We'll reflect on the deep faith of Abraham and how it shapes our understanding of God's character as a provider, emphasizing the profound lesson that God brings life rather than demanding sacrifice. Along the way, we'll also engage in heartfelt prayer and discuss how these ancient stories apply to our lives today. Join us as we read, reflect, and are transformed by God's word. Stay tuned, and let's embark on this spiritual journey together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Unthinkable. Something unthinkable is being asked of Abraham. He's being asked to offer his one and only son that he loves as a sacrifice on this mountain. It's some kind of test of obedience, and it's unthinkable. But then again, maybe it wasn't altogether unthinkable. Maybe it was entirely conceivable. This culture and many cultures throughout that time and through all time actually have had the practice of offering the blood of a human to pacify or appease or to court the favor of an angry or capricious god. Abraham knows this. He knows that this is what the gods of the culture in his world so often require. But Abraham also knows this, that God, the God he serves, the God who called him to follow, the God who promised him a son, The god who made good on that promise even at the age of a 100 years old. The god who takes him by the hand and says, let's go outside and look at the stars. The blessing that's in store for you is beyond the number of stars in the sky. The god who meets him at his lowest, at his darkest, in that deepest point of of barrenness. This god, he had learned to walk with and trust, and was not like any other god in the world. Abraham knew that this is not a bloodthirsty god. This is a god of life. This god is not distant. No. He comes to Abraham. And this god is not capricious. And he's not angry and ready to pounce. This is what other people believe about God, but not Abraham. He believed that God is good. The God who's named on this mountain, Jehovah Jireh, he is the one who meets us in our need, in our shame, in our barren places. He's not like other gods. He does not require that you provide for or spill out or atone for or pacify with your own blood or the blood of those that you love. No. God has another way. And this god doesn't kill his son. He's not like the other gods. The son instead offers himself. And he's killed by humanity, not his father. And through this offering of his life, he overtakes the evil one. He wins the victory for you and me, and for the sins of the whole world. He defeats the powers of sin and darkness once and for all. Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, god was able to bring him back to life again, because this god is good. And Abraham believed it. Abraham was asked to do the unthinkable because he knew something that we all should know. The character of God. That God is good. That we can trust him with our lives, that he comes to us in our darkest and most bare places, and he raises us up there into new life. Right there, he meets us. He has achieved this for us on Mount Moriah on the cross. There, he laid down his life for us, and there, he wins for us victory. The victory that our souls were made for. And the prayer of my heart today is that my eyes will be opened up to see what Abraham sees. The character of our God. I will learn to walk with him the way Abraham has, by walking with the son, who has revealed to me the face of his father. That I will know the embrace of the father and the son and the holy spirit. This life that my soul longs for has been provided for me on the mountain of the lord. Jehovah Jireh. The prayer of my own heart is that I will know this well. That I'll know the freedom of it, the life of it, the joy of it. And that's a prayer that I have for my family too, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. Let's continue now in a time of prayer TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

In this episode of the Salty Saints Podcast, Randy and I kick off a new multi-part series focused on the concept of the Temple. We start by discussing the historical significance of Solomon's Temple, built in Jerusalem, and the events leading up to its construction, including David's desire to build it and God's directive that his son Solomon would be the one to do so. We explore the location of the Temple on Mount Moriah, a site rich with biblical history, including Abraham's near-sacrifice of Isaac and David's encounter with the angel of the Lord. This leads us to consider the Temple's design, which consisted of three main sections: The Porch, The Holy Place, and The Holy of Holies, and the significance of ascending steps within the structure. Throughout our discussion, we touch on the Edenic imagery present in the Temple's decorations, the importance of altars in worship prior to the Temple's existence, and the various terms used in the Old Testament to describe the Temple. We also highlight the absence of God's presence in the later temples, particularly after the Babylonian exile, and how this absence changes the understanding of what the Temple represents. As we wrap up this first part, we emphasize that the Temple is not just a physical building but a place where God breaks through to humanity, setting the stage for our next episode where we will delve into the New Testament implications of the Temple.

He emphasizes that the location, Mount Moriah, was chosen by God and would play a crucial role in biblical history, including the site of Solomon's temple and Jesus's crucifixion. Derek highlights that David understood the necessity of paying the full price for the land, signifying the importance of sacrifice in fulfilling God's plans. Ultimately, he calls the church to recognize that God has a purpose for their community and encourages them to invest wholeheartedly in their calling.

The Alter: God's operating table. #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Altar: God's Operating Table "And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony..." - Exodus 25:22 KJV Throughout history, altars have served as sacred meeting places between God and humanity - points of divine intersection where transformation occurs. Just as a surgeon's table represents the place where healing and necessary change take place, God's altar is where our spiritual surgery happens. Consider Abraham on Mount Moriah. When he laid Isaac on the altar, it wasn't just his son being offered - Abraham himself was being transformed. His understanding of God, his faith, and his very identity underwent a profound change. The altar became the place where his ultimate surrender led to his greatest revelation. In our modern context, we often shy away from altar experiences, preferring comfortable pews to places of sacrifice. Yet, the altar remains God's chosen place for divine surgery. It's where our old nature meets divine scalpel, where our weaknesses encounter His strength, and where our limited understanding gives way to His infinite wisdom. King David understood this principle when he declared, "I will not offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing" (2 Samuel 24:24 KJV). True transformation always comes at a cost - the cost of our pride, our self-sufficiency, and our personal agendas. The altar experience isn't meant to be comfortable. Like surgery, it may involve pain, but this pain leads to healing. When Jacob wrestled with God at Peniel, he left with both a limp and a blessing. The altar changed him so thoroughly that even his name was transformed from Jacob to Israel. Today's churches sometimes emphasize comfort over transformation, creating spaces where we can observe without being observed, hear without being heard, and attend without being attended to by the Great Physician. But just as a hospital without operating rooms fails its primary purpose, a church without active altars risks becoming merely a spiritual social club. The invitation remains: Will you come to the altar? Will you allow the divine Surgeon to perform His perfect work? Remember, it's at the altar where our lives are not merely altered - they are transformed. Prayer: Lord, give us the courage to approach Your altar, knowing that while transformation may not be comfortable, it is essential for our spiritual health and growth. Help us understand that Your altar is not a place of destruction, but of divine reconstruction. In Jesus' name, Amen.

God chooses to expedite their inevitable destruction through a catastrophic flood, but he preserves the family of Noah. Coming out of the ark on Mount Ararat, Noah offers the life of a precious animal—an act that deeply pleases God. And then Abraham, one of Noah's ancestors, offers an even more precious sacrifice on Mount Moriah.

In Genesis 22 Abraham is called upon by God to sacrifice his son Isaac on Mount Moriah. This, of course prefigures the Crucifixion in nearly every detail. In addition it says something profound about the relationship between children and their father. Contrary to every other society at the time, fathers do not own their children. (Inspired by Rabbi Sacks, "The Binding of Isaac" on Aish.com)

Abraham matters, not only because he left his home by faith, or offered his son on Mount Moriah. He matters because the blessing, the favor of God upon you, comes through Abraham.

In Genesis 22, God tests Abraham by instructing him to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac. Obediently, Abraham sets out for Mount Moriah with Isaac and two young men, demonstrating his faith despite the emotional turmoil of the impending sacrifice. During their journey, which takes three days, Abraham grapples with his feelings about sacrificing his only heir, a promise from God that he had waited for many years. When they arrive, Abraham builds an altar and prepares to sacrifice Isaac, but an angel intervenes, stopping him and confirming Abraham's faithfulness. Instead, God provides a ram caught in a thicket for the sacrifice. This event leads Abraham to name the location "Jehovah Jireh," meaning "The Lord will provide." Finally, God reaffirms His promise to Abraham, declaring that his descendants will be numerous and blessed, underscoring the significance of faith and obedience in divine testing.

Abraham journeyed to Mount Moriah with the instruction to sacrifice his son Isaac. They traveled with the wood, the fire and a knife, but no lamb for sacrifice. Upon arrival at the place that God has instructed, Abraham placed Isaac upon the altar and raised the knife. At this moment, he was interrupted and shown a ram caught in a thicket. Isaac was released from the altar and the ram offered in his place. We are all Isaac and Jesus is the sacrifice in our place, setting us free from the law of sin and death. Have you accepted Jesus by faith for your salvation?

Today in History: God created Adam and Eve on Rosh Hashanah (according to tradition, see Genesis 1:26). The waters of the Great Flood drained and the dove did not return. Noah removed the cover of the ark, but he stayed inside (possible date, see Genesis 8). Abraham bound his son Isaac to offer him on Mount Moriah on this day (according to tradition, see Genesis 22). The daily sacrifice resumed on God's altar, but the Second Temple itself was not yet rebuilt (see Ezra 3:6). Ezra the Scribe read the Torah to the exiles who had returned to Jerusalem (see Nehemiah 8:1). It may be the day Messiah was born in Bethlehem of Judah (possible date, see Luke 2).

On the second day of Rosh Hashana, we read the Torah section of Genesis chapter 22 that tells the very famous and quite troubling episode of the Binding of Isaac. Abraham – the same Abraham who railed against the ways of child sacrifice of the pagans – is instructed by God to take Isaac – the same Isaac who was declared as the one who will be Abraham's true progeny – and offer him as a sacrifice on Mount Moriah.

Luke 2:39-47 - "The Boy Jesus"

42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 43 When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it; Luke, in these verses, now informs us that after the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, His presentation to Simeon and Anna in the Temple, and a short time in Egypt (Matthew 2:13-23), Jesus' parents move Him back to their hometown of Nazareth where He grows up. We need remember that Luke in his Gospel is presenting Jesus to the world as the perfect “Son of Man” and the emphases is on His humanity. John, in his Gospel present Jesus to the world as the “Son of God” and his emphases is on His deity. The Scriptures teach us that Jesus was totally God and at the same time He was totally human. We might not understand this, but we must accept this great truth by faith because this is the only way that Jesus could die in our place for our sins!   When you think about Luke presenting Jesus in His humanity, it is no wonder that he gives us the details of His birth as a Baby, then calls Him a Child as He grows up in Nazareth, and now calls Him “the Boy Jesus” in verse 43 as he tells us the only story we have in the Gospels of something that takes place in the life of Jesus between His birth and His baptism at thirty years of age!   Luke now has another delightful story to tell. Jesus was twelve, the age in Jewish culture when a boy begins to assume the responsibilities of a man. He was ready for His first Passover. Scholars tell us that by this time Jesus education had been thorough enough, first at His mother's knee and then in the local rabbinical school. The weekly Sabbath observance would have been His joy. The Scripture written on the doorposts (Deut. 11:20) of the house had a word for Him every time He left home and whenever He came home.   Jesus soon knew His Bible by heart, and, given His flawless memory and His brilliant mind, He doubtless knew it in both Hebrew and Greek. He came to know all of the people who crowd the Old Testament page, all of the precepts of the ritual law, and all of the principles of such books as Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. Jesus knew and understood the full significance of all of the prophecies and promises that God had given to the Hebrew people.   From the age of five until He was ten, His only textbook was the Bible. From ten to fifteen, He was exposed to the Mishna, the traditions of the elders, what came to be known as "the oral law" supposedly given to Moses at Sinai. His keen mind would soon sort out the good from the bad in all of that. Not until He was fifteen would He enter an academy and be taught the endless lectures of the rabbis.   So, with a full heart Jesus joined the pilgrims marching to Zion to keep the feast. People traveled to the feasts in caravans, the women and children leading the way and setting the pace, and the men and young men following behind. Relatives and whole villages often traveled together and kept an eye on each other's children. No doubt they were all singing "the songs of degrees" or “songs of accents” found in Psalms 120-134.   As the Lord entered Jerusalem, His thoughts must have been mixed indeed. Here was a city that Abraham had visited thousands of years earlier, a city where David had reigned, a city that murdered the prophets and that one day would crucify Him. And crowning Mount Moriah and dominating everything was the temple. Tens of thousands of people could find room within its courts. The Lord's eyes would constantly be drawn to it. He called it "my Father's house," although it was, in fact, being built by Herod.   I trust this gives you a picture today of the humanity of Jesus as a Baby, a Child, and a grown-up Boy, as He prepares to present Himself to the world as the only Savior for our sins!   God bless!

Send us a Text Message.If only the books of Samuel ended there, after David's final words. It's a great place to end, but he didn't. There is more in 2 Samuel 23 and 24, and it is anti-climatic for the books of Samuel. However, it is an intriguing link to the future of Christ and our redemption. Recall that the author is writing the final chapters in a chiasm which is a literary structure where themes mirror each other in an inverted pattern. The focus is on the center of the chiasm. We have discussed the first 4 steps of the chiasm: Saul causes a famine, David's Mighty Warriors, David's final song, and David's final words.In 2 Samuel 23, we will discuss the remaining:David's Mighty Warriors, and David causes a plague. These two mirror the first two. There will be more detail on the Mighty Warriors.

Any person who relays messages to you from the boss, is now your new boss.An excellent messenger might relay exactly what the big boss asked them to tell you, but only after they have reframed it, recharacterized it, and added their own slant.Every messenger does this. Whether they do it consciously or unconsciously is irrelevant. Whether they do it maliciously or innocently is irrelevant. What matters is that it happens.When a person speaks for the boss, you work for that person. You must do what they say.If a messenger gives you a handwritten note from the big boss, your response to that message will be reframed, recharacterized, and delivered as interpreted by the mind of the messenger. The big boss is going to hear their words, not yours.And God help you if you entrust an innocent question to a messenger. By the time that question enters the ear of the emperor, it will sound like a childish challenge or an anger-inflaming insult. The only thing you can do now is kneel down, put your head between your knees, and kiss your ass goodbye.Have I put the matter too strongly? If so, let me soften it with this short summary: You are forever at the messenger's mercy.Which is perfectly okay if you do not love your job.Are you putting in your 8 hours then going home to begin living your real life? If so, you are incredibly lucky. Do your 40, collect your check, live your life.I envy you.But if you are cursed with ideas, innovations, and experiences you believe have value, you will forever be frustrated by the bleak barrier that separates you from that pristine person who can say “absolutely yes.” Your cheeks will be chapped by silly slaps from interfering intermediaries. Your days will be darkened by dullards. Your mind will be massacred by meetings with morons. (Yes, I am toying with alliteration today.)You need to get a different job. You need to have direct contact with that one special person who can say absolutely yes without having to clear it with someone else.I spent my youth writing ads for clients who grew too big and became too busy to speak with me directly. When I became weary of living in the leg-irons and handcuffs imposed by messengers, I cut two tablets of stone from the heart of Mount Moriah. Those tablets contain two sentences:“I cannot work my magic unless I am in direct contact with the person who has unconditional authority to say ‘absolutely yes' without having to check with someone else.”“If that person is too busy to speak with me personally, I am too busy to write his ads.”You have felt what I am describing, or you have not.Again, I envy you if you have not.If you have felt that frustration:Get a job working with an entrepreneur who will take the time to hear you.Honor that person by giving them your best.If that person's success causes them to feel the need to insert a messenger between them and you…Take your stonemason's hammer and your stonecarver's chisel to the ancient mines of Mount Moriah. Sit down and think for awhile in the shadow of the Almighty. Then carve what you feel.If Mount Moriah frightens you, then you must learn to live with chapped cheeks, darkened days, and a massacred mind.I will leave you to make your own decision.As for me, I'm placing my stone tablets in my front window where everyone can see them.Roy H.
