This Week on "The Friends of Israel Today" Radio: Why do we support Israel? The reason goes beyond the nation's politics and values. Our support is rooted in God's covenant promises to Israel and the Jewish people in His Word. We open an important and practically equipping four-part series on the biblical case for Zionism this week by asking, "Has the church replaced Israel?" The Apostle Paul shouted the answer: "Certainly not!" (Romans 11:1). God has distinct purposes for the church and Israel, and He loves them both. Discover how Scripture gives us confidence in that truth today as you support God's Chosen People and worship our heavenly Father with your whole heart!

In Romans 1:24–25, Paul describes God's righteous judgment in giving sinners over to their chosen rebellion. Dave Jenkins explains how sinful desires, bodily dishonor, and the exchange of truth for lies flow from worshiping creation instead of the Creator. This message calls believers to examine their hearts, honor God with their bodies, and answer temptation with Scripture. It also proclaims the hope of the gospel: Jesus Christ bore the judgment sinners deserve and rose again to redeem His people. Respond with repentance, true worship, and compassion for those who need Christ.

What does the Bible say about love, is love a feeling or a choice, and what does it mean to practice biblical love in an unloving world? In this episode of the Straight Truth Podcast, host Josh Philpot and Pastor Richard Caldwell examine 1 John 4:7-8 and 4:10, Romans 12, and 1 Corinthians 13:4-6 to show that believers must evaluate love by the standard of Scripture rather than the distortions of culture or merely horizontal, natural affection. Through salvation, God reconciles sinners to Himself by His Son's death and pours His holy, sacrificial love into our hearts through the Spirit, producing love as the fruit of the Spirit as we walk in submission to God and His word in marriage, parenting, friendships, and the church. Looking at John 14:15 ("If you love me, you will keep my commandments"), 1 John, and Psalm 1, Pastor Caldwell explains that Christian love is first a devotional choice to obey God above every rival, a choice that also warms our brotherly affections, never rejoices in wrongdoing or affirms someone on a path to destruction, and speaks the truth with compassion and humility as ambassadors of Christ.

This short study argues that God's moral law existed and was binding on humanity long before the Ten Commandments were given at Mount Sinai. By examining Genesis narratives and Pauline epistles, it demonstrates that conscience, guilt, and divine judgment reveal a universal standard of righteousness rooted in creation rather than in the Mosaic covenant. The text distinguishes between the universal moral law and the specific ceremonial and judicial ordinances of Israel, asserting that all nations are accountable to God's character. While the law exposes human sin and inability to earn salvation, it serves as a guide for grateful obedience for believers redeemed by Christ. The sermon concludes that this eternal standard remains relevant for Christian ethics and daily life, reflecting God's unchanging holiness.
