The Psalms are a collection of 150 Songs carefully placed inside 5 books of Psalms: Book 1:1-41, Book 2:42-72, Book: 3:73-89, Book 4:90-106, Book 5:107-150. The first three books are primarily lament Psalms. Sadness, anger, and bewilderment are prayed out. The final two books include two very angry Psalms, 109 and 137, but these books are dominated by Praise. The final six Psalms thunder with the praise of the "I Am "God. The five books of Psalms are clearly intended as responsive speech to the five books of the Pentateuch, Genesis - Deuteronomy. The Pentateuch is the story of "I am" calling Israel to be His crisis relief for the entire creation. The Psalms are prayed from the time of David, 1000 B.C., from inside the story the Hebrew scripture tells. The Psalter was not collected into its current form until the 4th century B.C. By then Israel had been in exile for two hundred years. Yet the Israel of the 2nd Temple, 530 B.C. to 70, AD., is singing her faith in the rebuilt temple and those living outside Judea are singing inside synagogues throughout the Roman empire. The Psalms were Jesus' prayer book and were prayed by the early church. (Matt. 27:46, Col. 3:16, Eph. 5:19) We will pray and praise a representative collection of the Great Psalms of the Psalter -Psalms 1, 2, 3, 8, 16, 19, 22, 23, 42, 51, 73-74, 88-89, 90, 104-106, 109, 110, and 139. We will pray out to the Lord God our emotions and struggles, but we will continue praying through from confusion, doubt, and anger to more clarity, trust, and peace. We will be encouraged, rebuked, and discipled by the ancient Songs of Israel, Jesus, and our Church Fathers and Mothers. The "I Am," the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, will bless us as we draw near to God together. Come join us on the Way.

In this episode, Nate Claiborne is joined by theologian-in-residence Dr. Michael Allen to explore the enduring value of Christian creeds, particularly the Nicene Creed. Together, they consider why creeds exist, what they accomplish, and how they serve both as summaries of the Christian faith and safeguards against theological error. Dr. Allen outlines three key functions of creeds: summarizing the vast narrative of Scripture, highlighting theological priorities, and drawing clear boundaries around unfaithful interpretations.Through examples from both the Old and New Testaments, they show that creedal formation is a deeply biblical impulse. From poetic declarations in the Pentateuch to hymnic passages in Paul's letters, the tradition of summarizing and reciting core truths has long served to orient God's people. The conversation also looks at how creeds function within the life of the church—not as a replacement for Scripture, but as interpretive tools shaped by the wisdom of the global and historical church. With 2025 marking the 1700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed, Nate and Mike also share why now is a particularly significant moment to reflect on its meaning and relevance in our worship, witness, and discipleship.
Q: I am a minister of music, and I've been reading through the Pentateuch to study the foundations of the Israelites' worship... and I've hit a theme I'm curious about, application-wise, for the church today. In Deut. 7:25–26, God orders the pre-conquest Israelites to completely destroy the idols of the pagans when they overtake their cities, saying, "Don't covet the silver or gold on the images and take it for yourself, or else it will ensnare you." I grew up during the "height" of the traditional/contemporary "worship wars" controversy, and while I never really took a side, I find church members on both sides can idolize styles of music (or even music itself). However, I found that those against contemporary styles usually went the farthest in their rejection, saying it's "too worldly." My question: is there anything Scripture has to say as a litmus between "redeeming" secular (or maybe even godless) things for Christ's Church, and being "ensnared by the gold and silver" of worldly standards, trends, and styles? Summary In this conversation, Dr. Michael Easley and Hanna Seymour explores the complexities of worship music, particularly the divide between contemporary and traditional styles. He highlights the importance of education in helping congregations understand and appreciate diverse musical expressions. The discussion also covers the role of songwriters, the distinction between secular and sacred music, and the impact of personal preferences on worship experiences. If you've got a question for Dr. Easley, call or text us your question at 615-281-9694 or email at question@michaelincontext.com. Takeaways: You cannot please everybody in worship. Education is essential for understanding worship music. All truth is God's truth, regardless of the source. Music is a creation of God, meant for His glory. Every songwriter has flaws, but their work can still be valuable. Congregations can sing secular songs with a different perspective. Understanding your congregation's preferences is crucial for worship leaders. Education can enhance appreciation for diverse music styles. Worship leaders have the power to shape congregational experiences. Personal preferences should not hinder worship. Find more episodes of Ask Dr. E here.

Again, already in these first paragraphs of Homily One what comes forward most powerfully in Saint Isaac‘s writing is that the ascetic life is driven by love and desire for God. More accurately, one might say that it is the soul's response to God‘s revelation of His love, mercy and compassion to us in His only begotten Son. Therefore, Isaac can speak of things such as shame not in the sense of diminishing an individual's self-identity but rather as a veil protecting the mind and the heart for Christ alone. As one purifies the heart one begins to see with a greater clarity those things that can diminish one's capacity to love and to see that which is good in God and others. Thus, while shame mortifies us it also protects us from being led indiscriminately by our thoughts and desires. One of the blessings that God has given to us in order to purify the heart is the scriptures. We are exhorted to have a fervent love of instruction; to fill the mind and the heart with the words and deeds of Christ. In doing so we create a new habit of mind that directs the soul toward God in such a way that we put behind us and even forget everything that is a distraction from this greater reality. We are surrounded by the noise of the world and in kind of thoughtless fashion we allow ourselves to be led away from what endures unto eternity or what is uplifting. However, when the mind is captivated by the divine word, it can be filled with such wonder that it becomes unaware of even thoughts that are associated with our basic human needs - when our last meal was or how the night has passed away so quickly. The ascetic life, therefore, is not about self perfection or endurance. Rather, it is a recognition of our identity in Christ. We are made in the image and likeness of God and by his grace and his redemptive love we are being drawn into the very life of the Holy Trinity. Isaac's homilies are an invitation to enter into the wondrous depths of God's love. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:14:37 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 115 paragraph 15 from start of homily 00:28:16 Jamie Hickman: Sorry, I had trouble with the keyboard...regarding the last paragraph that begins "Not he is chaste who...": just wanted to say that the saint we are reading would be guarding his own thoguhts, but I wonder: can we say confidently that he doesn't judge another? Instead, can we assume he regrets that another has fallen prey to evil one by not preserving his purity in thought, word, or action? My purpose: guarding our purity seems to include guarding us from judging others...something I struggle with for sure, shamefully! 00:30:53 Jamie Hickman: Thank you, Father

Leviticus 05.1-13 Bible Study - Sin Offering (Part 2)In this Bible study, we look at the 2nd half of the Sin Offering as outlined in Leviticus 5.1-13. The Israelites were required to perform a “sin offering” if they failed to do something that was required, such as failing to give a testimony, dealing properly with ritual uncleanness, or fulfilling an oath. We also look at the “sin offering” as the “purification offering” asking why a woman who just gave birth would be required to give a “sin offering?” A key verse in this passage is Leviticus 5.5 in which the text tells us that confession is key to the process. OUTLINE:01:45 - What is Iron Sheep Ministries? 07:04 - Outline of the talk: 5.1-6 Failure to do something that was required: - v1 - Failure to give testimony, which could prevent justice from being carried out. - v2-3 - Failure to deal properly with ritual uncleanness, which could lead to the Lord's tabernacle being defiled.- v4 - Failure to fulfill an oath, which would result in the Lord's name being profaned. In any of the above. ONCE they realized their guilt there were two things they had to do.- v5 - Confess their sin- v6 - bring an offering to the Tabernacle so the priest could make atonement for them.5.7-13 - Three possible offerings, adjusted according to the economic situation of the person bringing the offering. EVERYONE has the opportunity to make a sacrifice, no matter how poor they were. 08:42 - Leviticus 5.1-1312:02 - Lev 5.1 - public charge to testify - it was considered a sin to see something and not say something. 14:25 - Lev 5.2-3 - “ceremonially unclean” - we see unclean as being related to public health or hygiene. A better way to think of a ceremony unclean vs clean is adequately prepared for worship.Rev 7.141 John 1.722:45 - purification offeringWORD STUDY: Ḥaṭṭā'āṯ חַטָּאָת (hea-taw-aw) - “sin, sin offering, purification from sins of ceremonial uncleanness.”Occurs 294x in KJV, 82x in Lev, 32x in Lev 4-5:13Lev 5.2-3Lev 12.1-8Luke 2.22-2430:29 - Lev 5.4 OathsMat 5.33-3732:50 - Lev 5.5 - confess - 35:55 - why is confession important? When you realize your guilt, the very first step, you must go through is to confess your sin before the Lord. He already knows what you did! But if you refuse to acknowledge your sin, then there is no room for the Holy Spirit to work in you. The Lord's discipline is a good thing.

This book includes contributions from an wonderful group of scholars and artists, including works of academic prose, poetry, creative nonfiction, and visual art. It offers the reader glimpses of the beautiful world of theology and literature.But the book tells a story, a story about a scholarly life well lived. One that included not only careful reading and thinking, but careful mentoring. The book is a festschrift honoring the career of Ralph Wood, the Baylor University Emeritus Professor of Theology and Literature. In our conversation, Rachel reflects on her experience as one of Ralph's students. It made me once again grateful for mentors in my own life—and led me to reflect on what it means to be both a good student and a good teacher.Guest BioRachel Toombs earned her PhD from Baylor University. She has written on Flannery O'Connor and Hebrew narrative and has a recently published book with Baker Academic called Reading the First Five Books: The Invitation of the Pentateuch's Stories (https://bakeracademic.com/p/Reading-the-First-Five-Books-Rachel-Toombs/579875).

The sin offering (also known as the purification offering) is covered in Leviticus chapter 4 as well as the first thirteen verses of chapter 5. In this study, we will look at the first portion, as outlined in Leviticus chapter 4. The sin offering was an offering required when an individual (or group) had sinned unintentionally. The offering atoned for the sin and cleansed them from unrighteousness. What is the application for this for us today? Do we have such an offering for our sin?Outline: 00:08 - Introduction to sin/purification offeringThis is a required offeringThese are also newly establishedThe Sin offering is atonement made for unintentional sin03:48 - Lev 4.1-2 - intro for all sin offerings04:45 - What is the definition of sin?

"Luke Volume II," often called "The Acts of the Apostles," completes the "Pentateuch of the New Testament." The traditional title of this book is, in some respects, a misnomer: it primarily deals with the "acts" of Peter and Paul. It really should be called "The Acts of the Holy Spirit." This review will explore the continuing mysteries of Hag Shavuot in Acts 2; the surprises in the history lesson Stephen gives the Sanhedrin in Acts 7; the controversies dealt with in the Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15; the seamanship details which permitted the discovery of the anchors cut loose in Acts 27, as well as the adventures of Paul and his companions during his missionary journeys.

The Psalms are a collection of 150 Songs carefully placed inside 5 books of Psalms: Book 1:1-41, Book 2:42-72, Book: 3:73-89, Book 4:90-106, Book 5:107-150. The first three books are primarily lament Psalms. Sadness, anger, and bewilderment are prayed out. The final two books include two very angry Psalms, 109 and 137, but these books are dominated by Praise. The final six Psalms thunder with the praise of the "I Am "God. The five books of Psalms are clearly intended as responsive speech to the five books of the Pentateuch, Genesis - Deuteronomy. The Pentateuch is the story of "I am" calling Israel to be His crisis relief for the entire creation. The Psalms are prayed from the time of David, 1000 B.C., from inside the story the Hebrew scripture tells. The Psalter was not collected into its current form until the 4th century B.C. By then Israel had been in exile for two hundred years. Yet the Israel of the 2nd Temple, 530 B.C. to 70, AD., is singing her faith in the rebuilt temple and those living outside Judea are singing inside synagogues throughout the Roman empire. The Psalms were Jesus' prayer book and were prayed by the early church. (Matt. 27:46, Col. 3:16, Eph. 5:19) We will pray and praise a representative collection of the Great Psalms of the Psalter -Psalms 1, 2, 3, 8, 16, 19, 22, 23, 42, 51, 73-74, 88-89, 90, 104-106, 109, 110, and 139. We will pray out to the Lord God our emotions and struggles, but we will continue praying through from confusion, doubt, and anger to more clarity, trust, and peace. We will be encouraged, rebuked, and discipled by the ancient Songs of Israel, Jesus, and our Church Fathers and Mothers. The "I Am," the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, will bless us as we draw near to God together. Come join us on the Way.

“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.” (2 Timothy 3:16 NLT) As we mentioned in the previous devotion, this month we’ll be looking at passages in the Old Testament in which Jesus appears or is referred to. Before we do that, though, let’s briefly review how the Bible came to be. The more we understand about what God’s Word is—and isn’t—the better we can appreciate its specific references to Jesus centuries before His birth. The Bible is the most amazing document ever given to man. Technically speaking, it is not one book. The Bible is a compilation of sixty-six books with more than forty different authors. It has been separated into two sections. The first section contains thirty-nine books that make up the Old Testament. The second section contains twenty-seven books that make up the New Testament. Overall, the Bible was written over the course of approximately 1,500 years and was written in three different languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek) by people all over the place—from kings to peasants to philosophers to laborers, poets, statesmen, and scholars. Moses was a political leader trained in the schools of Egypt. He wrote the first five books of the Bible that we know as the Pentateuch. Peter was a fisherman. Joshua was a military general. Daniel was the equivalent of a prime minister. Luke was a doctor. Solomon was a king. Matthew was a tax collector. Paul was a rabbi. The Bible is the most ambitious literary project ever conceived. And it’s a miracle. There’s no earthly reason for so many disparate parts to form such a seamless whole. But there is a heavenly reason. God guided every author, every step of the way. He didn’t dictate the words of Scripture. He allowed each author to use his own writing style and personality. But God made sure that they wrote what He intended. He inspired them to express His truths in their own words. And though they all bring different perspectives to the material, they all tell a single story. The Bible is the story of God’s love for us, even after we sinned against Him, and His amazing plan to save us from the punishment we deserve for our sin. The Bible is the story of Jesus. He is the golden thread that runs through its pages. He bridges the Old and New Testaments. He connects sixty-six separate books into one. We see the promise of Jesus in the Garden of Eden. We see the work of Jesus in Noah’s ark. We see the ancestors of Jesus in the stories of Abraham, Jacob, and David. We see specific predictions about Jesus in the Old Testament books of prophecy. And we see the fulfillment of everything written about Him in the Gospels. God’s perfect plan of salvation can be seen in the perfect Book He gave the world.
