How does one end a Biblical Fast?

The same way one participates in a Biblical fast: with discipline. Plan and execute.

What is syncretism, and what is the danger of it?

Blending worship of God or replacing Godly worship with mixed worship is the definition. Here is the continuation of the sad story of the Israelite experiments with this lifestyle and the utter failure it became.

The Heart of God — Podcast Summary

What does the Bible mean when it speaks about the heart of God?

In this lesson, we continue our study of the anthropomorphic descriptions Scripture uses to help us understand the character of God. While God is spirit and does not possess a literal human heart, Scripture uses the language of the heart to reveal His affections, desires, purposes, compassion, holiness, and will.

We will explore what Scripture teaches about God's everlasting love, His grief over sin, His compassion toward people, His desire for obedience, and the unchanging nature of His character. We will also see how the heart of God is ultimately revealed through Jesus Christ, who described Himself as "gentle and humble in heart."

The heart of God reminds us that He is not distant or indifferent. He sees, hears, acts, speaks, and—at the center of His perfect character—He loves. His love is never separated from His holiness, His justice, or His truth.

Join us as we consider what it means not merely to know about God's heart, but to love God wholeheartedly, pursue obedience, receive His compassion, and allow His character to shape our own.

During some of the darkest times ever recorded for Israel, the tribes assemble to punish the offenders who slew the concubine of the Levite. Benjamin elects to defend the men of Gibeah rather than surrender them. The problem in this text is not that everybody is wrong; it is that both sides think they are right because they see the others as wrong. Let's look at this and see if we aren't sometimes doing the wrong thing as well. #reachingnewheightsinjesus

Even though God is Spirit and does not have a face as we do, we can learn much from the use of the term in Scripture. #reachingnewheightinJesus

As the Tribe of Dan finally finds its home, what appears to be a great victory presents a terrible danger that will span generations. It's part of the larger story where the tribes have begun doing what is right in their own eyes. And, it will not end here. It will perpetuate and idolatrous spirit that will result in a surprisingly persistent bondage. #reachingnewheightsinjesus

We need a fully sovereign God. Our efforts to wrest back any portion of control from God result in a weakening of the relationship and, in fact, can result in our aiming our faithfulness at a false God or no God at all. #reachingnewheightsinjesus
