Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

Imagine someone told you that you should take a day off of work each week, and that you would be refreshed and renewed from it. Would you accept it or worry about getting behind at work or being docked pay? As we’ll hear today, that’s what God asks of us when He says to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. We can trust Him to bless us as we set aside a day to grow our relationship with Him…and to love and honor His work in our lives.

It’s easy to say that words are really meaningless, but how many of us really believe that? We’ve all been hurt by someone’s harsh or careless words, and God is no different. Today, one of the ten commandments that Pastor Daniel will address is ‘do not take the Lord’s name in vain.’ We all know when someone is speaking out of frustration, or true hatred…and there’s a difference. We’ll consider what it says about a person’s heart when it comes to cursing God’s name.

This is the Politics Interview with Josh Brown and Pastor Daniel Fusco.

If God said we could just worship any god…would He really love us? Today, Pastor Daniel answers that question as he takes us through the first part of the ten commandments. We have a tendency to worship other gods, like money, work, education, so many things. He’s jealous, and not jealous like the way we usually think of that word. He wants our hearts, minds and attention because He loves us, and knows what best for us.

One reason for the law is to turn us towards the Lord. That happens when our focus is taken away from idols, anger, selfishness…a litany of vices. But, as we’ll hear Pastor Daniel say today…God’s commandments also lead us to others. Helping, discipling, loving…all of those characteristics that communicate the love of Jesus, and not our own agendas. Listen and be encouraged in knowing that the law is not an obstacle, but a gift.

Rules? We can follow rules….mostly. You know most of the ten commandments, and as you read through them, it’s easy to think, “Yeah! I’m keeping them.” But, as Pastor Daniel begins teaching on the commandments, we’ll hear that there is a lot more to them than murdering someone, or bowing down to a golden statue. God’s laws were given as a tutor, and as we understand them, we draw nearer to the Father, because we know more of Him.

Put a fence up. That doesn’t sound like positive advice, but as we’ll hear today, that’s exactly what we should do if we want to walk right with the Lord. Pastor Daniel will explain why Moses had to tell the people to stay off the mountain, and reminded to be obedient. We don’t want to listen to rules, but God’s desire is for us to be protected. Find out how to keep yourself on that path, working with God instead of against Him…to do what you need to do.

None of us can keep all of the law. We are disobedient, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t saved. As Pastor Daniel explains today, our disobedience does keep us from His blessings. Self-focus keeps us from following what God wants from us. We’ll find out that unbroken fellowship with the Father is the most sustaining relationship of all. He considers His children to be special treasures. Listen and discover what makes you a priest in His Kingdom.

A capable, hardworking person is often sought out to be a helper, or a leader, or member of a club. But when one person does everything, they’ll be spread thin…and less will be accomplished. As Pastor Daniel reminds us today, God has anointed a lot of people with His Spirit…and we’re all capable to do His work. We’ll hear how Moses, weighed down with the requests of the people, took some great advice about how to delegate.

NO man is an island. We all crave community, because we need people and they need us. Pastor Daniel explains how Moses, as a leader of the people sought help not only from God, but from the people. Collectively, the people were greater together than as individuals. Take the challenge today, to consider your attitude and relationship towards your community. Nobody should struggle alone, because God created us to work together.
