  • AUTHENTIC with Shawn Boonstra - The Nature of Evil
    In a pain-choked world, we see the face of evil everywhere. And there's plenty of blame to fling around, which we do. Constantly. But maybe it's time, Shawn Boonstra says, for a good long look at the face in the mirror—half in light, half in shadow.

  • The SeedPod for Kids by Starting With Jesus - A Dwelling Place for God, Monday
    I LOVE camping! I bet you like to go camping too! The children of Israel were "camping" in the wilderness and God wanted to not just lead them by the pillar of cloud/fire, but He wanted to dwell with them. He wanted to LIVE among them. So God gave Moses some plans to build a sanctuary that He could dwell among them. We are going to learn more about this special house for God and the meaning of the daily rituals the priests were to carry out.

  • Bible Study - Sabbath School Podcast - Episode 2463 - Lesson 4 - Monday - July 21 - Who hardened Pharaoh's Heart?

    Who Hardened Pharaoh’s Heart?

    Read Exodus 7:3-13, 14, 22. How do we understand these texts?

    Nine times in Exodus the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart is ascribed to God (Exod. 4:21; Exod. 7:3; Exod. 9:12; Exod. 10:1-20, 27; Exod. 11:10; Exod. 14:4-8; see also Rom. 9:17-18). Another nine times Pharaoh is said to have hardened his own heart (Exod. 7:13-14, 22; Exod. 8:15-19, 32; Exod. 9:7-34, 35).

    Who hardened the king’s heart—God, or Pharaoh himself?

    It is significant that in the Exodus story of the ten plagues, in each of the first five plagues, Pharaoh alone was the agent of his heart hardening. Thus, he initiated the hardening of his own heart. From the sixth plague on, however, the biblical text states that it was God who hardened Pharaoh’s heart (Exod. 9:12). What all this means is that God strenghtened or deepened Pharaoh’s own choice, his willful action, as God had told Moses He would do (Exod. 4:21).

    In other words, God sent plagues to help Pharaoh repent and to free him from the darkness and error of his mind. God did not create fresh evil in Pharaoh’s heart; instead, He simply gave Pharaoh over to his own malign impulses. He left him without God’s restraining grace and thus abandoned him to his own wickedness (see Rom. 1:24-32).

    Pharaoh had his free will—he could choose for or against God—and he decided against.

    The lessons are obvious. We have been given the ability to choose between right and wrong, good and evil, obedience or disobedience. From Lucifer in heaven, to Adam and Eve in Eden, to Pharaoh in Egypt, and to us today— wherever we abide, we choose either life of death (Deut. 30:19).
