Big Lies Bigger Truth

Today we see several examples of the importance of human agency and human action in the fulfillment of God's plans. God is calling us – at all times – to act in doing the work of the Lord.

So much of today's readings relate to where America finds itself now. From Gideon telling his people to follow the Lord, not a man, to Isaiah's powerful prophesies that at the very least we in America and around the world can relate to in the face of the rise of global communism, to Paul's final instructions to be watchful and act like men, we can find encouragement and God's leadership in these readings.

Please help share God's Word and share this podcast. Our greatest need today is for Biblically reformed revival. This revival must begin with a careful and thoughtful meditation on the Bible and faithful and humble doctrine.

Today's episode feels like a miracle to me.

If you have doubts, if you wrestle with faith, this episode should be a great encouragement. God gives us the example of Jacob and Rachel, sinners that they are, and Gideon, who openly expresses his weaknesses, fears, and doubts. And He demonstrates His tender patience with us by giving Gideon so much evidence that there is no longer room for doubt.

In Job, we're given a great example of humble willingness to be judged and in Isaiah we're given a clear command to trust only in the Lord. And Paul ties up our whole lesson in such a wonderful bow in 1 Corinthians 15. It's like Paul was expositing the rest of our readings for us.

God bless you.

Can God actually use me? We see Gideon ask God this question. Why would God choose Gideon, the weakest of his family, which is the weakest of Menassah, which is a half-tribe, the weakest of Israel? In Job we see perhaps some of the answer to this question.

God gives us a deeply satisfying buffet today with many different flavors to taste from. From Jesus confronting the Pharisees in Mark 2 to Jacob's envious and bickering wives and deceitful father in law in Genesis 30 to the opening act of the story of Gideon in Judges 6 to the abject suffering and loneliness of Job in Job 30 we are given a huge spectrum of life circumstances we can all relate to. And then we end with 1 Corinthians 14, advice to the local church on how to organize and run our local church services.

Is it through the local church that God wants to work in our lives? In part, yes, absolutely.

In the Deep Bible Podcast, we watch the Bible come alive. This is a great way to deepen your walk with the Lord and learn more about God and the Bible. In just 3 earthly seasons we will ready through all of the Bible more than once.

After starting the gospel of Mark today, all roads eventually point to Paul's treatise on the most powerful and important of all spiritual gifts. 

The Deep Bible Podcast is a great way to listen to and understand the entire Bible in a relatively short amount of time. Every day, 6 days/week, we read and briefly explain 6 chapters from 6 different parts of the Bible. Our purpose in doing this is to see and understand How God speaks through the entire Bible every day. Every day the Spirit meets us as we dive deeply and broadly into His Word. Check it out!

Please post your questions, comments, or prayer requests and I will read them! Thank you.

All of our passages point to one crucial gift we all lack to varying degrees: Wisdom. What is Wisdom, where does it come from, and how can we get more of it? Job spells it out very clearly for us. 

God is so incredibly good, and He offers us access to the wisdom He used to create all of existence. Amazing. 

I recorded this episode while on family vacation and didn't have the ability to record video and post it on time, my apologies. I will be back with video in a few days.

After reading about Jesus crucifixion and death, we see how Jacob puts on the clothing and appearance of Esau to receive his father's blessing. How similar is this to us putting on Jesus' righteousness! We read about Job holding fast to his righteousness and we wonder if that isn't God's righteousness he is holding fast to, not his own. Can we, like Job, rest completely assured in the righteousness God offers us? This question and many more are considered in this wonderful episode.

The Bible is God's Word. I want to share my love and passion for His Word with you, and this podcast is how I get to do that. If you want to strengthen your understanding of the Bible, learn to connect the dots throughout scripture, and understand the mind of God and the purpose of life through His revealed Word this is a great place to be.

We post this podcast 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday. This week, however, I'm on a family vacation and I might be delayed in getting the next two episodes posted. I will record them while on vacation and post them when I return on Sunday.

Until then, may God bless you.

When Jesus told Peter in Matthew 26 that he would deny Jesus three times, Peter was in complete denial. In Judges 2 we see the outcome of Israel's promise in Joshua 24 to worship only the Lord. The moral: God knows we have a radically inflated view of our own faithfulness.

Today's reading is like drinking from a fire hose of living water. One powerful, important Truth after another. Take a big, long drink!

The Deep Bible Podcast is a daily reading of 6 chapters from 6 different parts of the Bible: gospels, Torah, history, wisdom, prophets, and epistles. We are on pace to read the whole Bible in about 9 months and some parts roughly twice in 9 months. If this is your first time checking us out or if you missed an episode, I provide a brief summary of the previous chapter so you can follow the text contextually. After reading each chapter I summarize what we read and meditate on it.

This is an unscripted podcast where we dive deep into God's Word and see what God does with us. Watch the Bible come alive.

Does hell really exist? Will all people go to heaven? Why would a loving God bring tribulation to the earth? Can we protect ourselves? Should we? What does God want us to do with the gifts He gives us? These questions and more are answered clearly by God in this episode.

The Deep Bible Podcast is where we see the Bible come alive. This is such a great way to take in God's Word, increase your Bible literacy, and learn to understand and be shaped by the mind of God. Spend a few weeks in this podcast and you will see God working in your life.

We read and discuss 6 chapters from six distinct parts of the Bible, and God does the rest of the work through the Spirit. Get ready to go deep and broad in the Bible.

Today we see clear and corroborating end times prophesy from Jesus and Isaiah. Underlying this is the theme throughout our passages that began at the end of Matthew 23: are we willing to follow Jesus? Do we really love Him? Can we love and praise Him even as the whole world is falling apart? Let's meditate on these questions sincerely and with open and broken hearts.

The Deep Bible Podcast is a deep and broad survey of the Bible. Join me in my daily devotional reading as we read and meditate on God's Word together.

One small way you can help fulfill the Great Commission and help more people hear the Good News is to like, comment, leave 5 star reviews, and subscribe with notifications.

Today Jesus weaves a strong warning of woe against the pharisees. Are we like the pharisees? He tells them that they clean the outside of their cups – the part people see – but the inside is filthy. How does the inside of our heart, our secret inner parts, look to God?

We then turn to Genesis, where Abraham is called a prince of God. Can God make us princes and princesses also? Then Joshua gives us a warning that is very applicable to us in our times today. Job cries out to find and voice his complaint to God Himself, knowing full well that it would be completely terrifying to do so. Isaiah gives a strong warning and prophesy on Tyre and Sidon because of their arrogant pride. What does this have to do with us today?

And we land on 1 Corinthians 7, a very deep treatise on marriage. Whether you are single or married or somewhere in between, God has something here for you.
