Apr. 26

Deuteronomy 7, 8

Deu 7:1 When Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before you, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than you;

Deu 7:2 and when Yahweh your God shall deliver them up before you, and you shall strike them; then you shall utterly destroy them: you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them;

Deu 7:3 neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.

Deu 7:4 For he will turn away your son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so the anger of Yahweh would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.

Deu 7:5 But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, and dash their pillars in pieces, and cut down their Asherim, and burn their engraved images with fire.

Deu 7:6 For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God: Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.

Deu 7:7 Yahweh didn't set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples:

Deu 7:8 but because Yahweh loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, has Yahweh brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Deu 7:9 Know therefore that Yahweh your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

Deu 7:10 and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face.

Deu 7:11 You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them.

Deu 7:12 It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers:

Deu 7:13 and he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.

Deu 7:14 You shall be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.

Deu 7:15 Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, he will put on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.

Deu 7:16 You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God shall deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare to you.

Deu 7:17 If you shall say in your heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?

Deu 7:18 you shall not be afraid of them: you shall well remember what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;

Deu 7:19 the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Yahweh your God brought you out: so shall Yahweh your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

Deu 7:20 Moreover Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.

Deu 7:21 You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is in the midst of you, a great and awesome God.

Deu 7:22 Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you by little and little: you may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.

Deu 7:23 But Yahweh your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they be destroyed.

Deu 7:24 He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name to perish from under the sky: there shall no man be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them.

Deu 7:25 You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God.

Deu 7:26 You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.

Deu 8:1 You shall observe to do all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers.

Deu 8:2 You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.

Deu 8:3 He humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you didn't know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh does man live.

Deu 8:4 Your clothing didn't grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.

Deu 8:5 You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Yahweh your God chastens you.

Deu 8:6 You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

Deu 8:7 For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;

Deu 8:8 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;

Deu 8:9 a land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.

Deu 8:10 You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you.

Deu 8:11 Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day:

Deu 8:12 lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived therein;

Deu 8:13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

Deu 8:14 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;

Deu 8:15 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;

Deu 8:16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn't know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:

Deu 8:17 and lest you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.

Deu 8:18 But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.

Deu 8:19 It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

Deu 8:20 As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn't listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.

Luke 15

Luk 15:1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.

Luk 15:2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them."

Luk 15:3 He told them this parable.

Luk 15:4 "Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?

Luk 15:5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

Luk 15:6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'

Luk 15:7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

Luk 15:8 Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn't light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?

Luk 15:9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.'

Luk 15:10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."

Luk 15:11 He said, "A certain man had two sons.

Luk 15:12 The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of your property.' He divided his livelihood between them.

Luk 15:13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.

Luk 15:14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.

Luk 15:15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

Luk 15:16 He wanted to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.

Luk 15:17 But when he came to himself he said, 'How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough to spare, and I'm dying with hunger!

Luk 15:18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight.

Luk 15:19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants." '

Luk 15:20 "He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

Luk 15:21 The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

Luk 15:22 "But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.

Luk 15:23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate;

Luk 15:24 for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.' They began to celebrate.

Luk 15:25 "Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.

Luk 15:26 He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on.

Luk 15:27 He said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.'

Luk 15:28 But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his father came out, and begged him.

Luk 15:29 But he answered his father, 'Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.

Luk 15:30 But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'

Luk 15:31 "He said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.

Luk 15:32 But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.' "

From Jim McGuiggan... The certain Someone

The certain Someone

Life can wear us down. I know a number of people personally for whom life at present is just an extended holiday. I don’t begrudge them that—it’s the work of God and I’m not about to tell him he shouldn’t so bless them. I know many more whose lives, while not all pleasure, are satisfying. They have enough pleasure in their lives and enough of whatever it takes to meet the challenges that come their way whether they are economic, emotional, social or other. But I know a great number and I know about hosts of others for whom life is one long slog to make ends meet or to continue to carry the heavy-duty burdens they’re faced with every day without fail. Their situation is worse than Job’s was. His trouble came toward the end of a long, richly blessed life and it lasted only a short while before rich blessing returned. In the case of the people I’m thinking about it has been one tough grind from day one and troubles of one kind or another have since dogged them without respite. These people would gladly swap places with Job in a heartbeat.

Among them there are tens of thousands who have no faith in God and can’t look toward him. I don’t intend that as a criticism (though I think it sad beyond words) and I only mention it to say that what follows won’t be very helpful to them—if at all. To those who have faith in God and who endure the kind of life I’ve just described I’d want to say that there’s a way of looking at your life that might make it easier (not easy!) to live out. For a very few of you some unfamiliar truth might even transform your lives completely because you might be able to hear this. Some won’t be able to hear it.

We tend to think that unbroken suffering or pressure or heartache is a token that God doesn’t care for us as much as for others. Now and then you might even wonder if he cares at all, but most of the time you dismiss that thought and are willing to live with the confusion and pain. But it’s hard to see God blessing others and leaving you (relatively) unblessed without thinking that he cares more for them than you. What makes it worse, we also tend to think that blessing and righteousness should go together so that if we’re unblessed we’re tempted to think it’s because we’re not good. That can generate numerous emotional responses. We can become bitter because we see richly blessed people who are (as far as we can tell) certainly no better than we are and maybe not as good. This in turn can generate some bitterness toward God at the subconscious level even while consciously we won’t critique him for it. But, then again, if we’re very sensitive we rebuke ourselves for thinking, "I’m as good as any of them." All those conflicting feelings and thoughts only add misery to the situation.

At the more basic level—with all that inner dialogue set aside—you are just weary. A ray of light, a better day, a check in the post, some respect from the children, a show of genuine affection from the wife/husband, a migraine-free month or a companion to obliterate the awful loneliness—that would make all the difference. So rather than a Bible study or a little lecture you’d settle for a change in your circumstances. "Let’s take care of my crushing debts and then we can have a study about the whys and wherefores of the troubles in human life." That response to talk makes sense—Matthew 25 would suggest that.

But trust in God does make a difference. It enables you to see what isn't visible (see Hebrews 11:1,27) and in the light of his promise that he would always be with you, you can "see" Christ when no one else can (Matthew 28:20 and Hebrews 13:5). You know he's there.

Only an idiot thinks he or she has all the answers to the complexities of the human condition. Only an idiot will say that all suffering has a single face and that one explanation fits all the circumstances. And even if a specific truth is seen to be true, the pain is real and the days are unchanging. "Arrrgh, not morning again already. How I wish I could sleep for a millennium." Or the phone rings, it’s the police again and it’s about Bob, again. While you’re listening you notice someone sitting on your stairs watching you. Or Rachel is back again, the two children are with her again, her face is badly bruised again. And you notice that someone else is with her (who is that?). Or the hospital waiting room is getting smaller and smaller—suffocating you—and as you glance around, the doctors and nurses look less and less concerned about your very real concerns. Does any of this matter to anyone? Does anyone really care? Is there any point to any of this? And then you see a young man sitting across from you. He’s been there since you arrived (when was it? half of forever ago?). Your eyes meet and hold each other, he nods as though he knows and without being told, without asking, you know he’s Jesus Christ. And somehow things have changed.

From Mark Copeland... Touches Of The Savior

                          "THE GOSPEL OF MARK"

                    Touches Of The Savior (5:21-43)

INTRODUCTION

1. Mark dedicates much attention to the miracles of Jesus, showing His
power over...
a. Demons - Mk 1:23-28,34; 5:1-20
b. Sickness - Mk 1:29-31,34,40-45; 2:1-12; 3:1-6
c. Nature - Mk 4:35-41

2. Our present lesson involves two miracles, showing Jesus power over...
a. Disease, in healing the woman suffering from an issue of blood
b. Death, in raising the daughter of Jairus

[We are first introduced to Jairus, a ruler of a synagogue, who begs
Jesus to heal his dying daughter (Mk 5:21-24). But on the way, there
was...]

I. THE TOUCH OF A WOMAN

A. THE WOMAN TOUCHED JESUS...
1. She had suffered greatly - Mk 5:25-26
a. The discharge of blood for 12 years
b. The mistreatments of many physicians
c. The loss of all that she had
2. She had heard about Jesus and came to touch His garment - Mk 5:27-29
a. She believed simply touching His clothes would heal her
b. When she did, the fountain of blood dried and up and she was
healed
3. Jesus sensed the miracle, and reassured the woman - Mk 5:30-34
a. Jesus asked who touched Him, and fearfully the woman came
forward
b. Jesus reassured her that her faith made her well and she was
healed
-- Because she was willing to touch Jesus, she was healed!

B. ARE WE WILLING TO TOUCH JESUS...?
1. In our previous study we saw those who were afraid of Jesus
- Mk 5:15-17
a. Are we more like the denizens of the Gadarenes?
b. Or are we willing to approach Jesus?
2. We cannot touch Jesus literally, but today we can:
a. Put Jesus on in baptism - cf. Ga 3:27
b. Be united with Him in His death and resurrection via baptism
- cf. Ro 6:3-4
c. Have our sins washed away by His blood - Ac 22:16; Re 1:5
-- If we are willing to touch Jesus, we can be saved!

[If we have enough faith to reach out and touch Jesus by obeying His
word, we can be blessed by that touch! While Jesus was still speaking
to the woman, troubling news concerning Jairus' daughter came that would
lead to...]

II. THE TOUCH OF A CHILD

A. JESUS TOUCHED THE CHILD...
1. On the way to the house - Mk 5:35-37
a. Jairus was told his daughter is dead
b. Jesus reassured Jairus, calling upon him to believe
c. Jesus permitted only Peter, James, and John to accompany Him
2. At the house of Jairus - Mk 5:38-40
a. There was tumult with people weeping and wailing
b. Jesus rebuked the wailing, affirming that the child is not
dead but sleeps
c. They ridiculed Jesus, and He sent them out of the house
d. The parents, Jesus, and His three disciples entered the room
where the child lay
3. Jesus raised the child - Mk 5:41-43
a. He took her by the hand (i.e., touched her)
b. He said to her, "Talitha, cumi" ("Little girl, I say to you
arise")
c. Immediately the girl (12 years old) arose and walked
d. The parents and disciples were overcome with great amazement
e. Jesus commanded them to tell no one, but give food to the
girl to eat - cf. Mk 1:44-45
4. Was Jairus' daughter really dead? Hendriksen offers the
following thoughts:
a. Lk 8:53 declares that the people knew that she was dead.
b. Lk 8:55 states that at the command of Jesus "her spirit
returned." It is clear, therefore, that there had been a
separation between spirit and body.
c. Jn 11:11 we have something similar. Jesus tells his
disciples, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep." But in Jn 11:14 he affirms, "Lazarus died."
d. In both instances the meaning is that death will not have
the final say. Not death but life is going to triumph in the
end. Also, just as natural sleep is followed by awakening,
so this child is going to become awake, that is, is going to
live again.
-- With a touch (and the command to arise), Jesus raised the child
from the dead!

B. ARE WE WILLING TO LET JESUS TOUCH US...?
1. Again not literally, but today we can:
a. Become a new creation in Christ - 2Co 5:17
b. Enjoy the blessing of His presence in our lives - Jn 14:23
c. Enjoy every spiritual blessing there is to be found in
Christ - Ep 1:3
2. Yes, by the "touch" of Jesus, we can experience:
a. A spiritual resurrection now, via baptism - Col 2:12-13
b. A bodily resurrection to eternal life in the future -

            Jn 5:28-29; 11:25
      -- If we are willing to let Jesus "touch" us, we can be raised
         anew now and in the future!

CONCLUSION

1. Just imagine the great joy produced by the "Touches Of The Savior"...
   a. The joy of the woman who touched Jesus
   b. The joy of the parents whose child was touched by Jesus

2. There can be great joy today for us today...
   a. If we are willing to "touch" Jesus by obeying Him
   b. If we are willing to let Jesus "touch" us through the blessings He
      offers

Notice that both the woman and Jairus made efforts to approach Jesus.
So we must come to Jesus in faithful obedience if we are to experience
the "Touches Of The Savior"... - Mt 11:28-30; 28:18-20

From Gary... Living in a gutter

My granddaughter Elizabeth took this picture when she was walking with Linda. I thought it was unusual that flowers should grow in a gutter then and my opinion has not changed at all. It occurred to me that some people are like this flower. They live only for today and their lives are lived in a gutter. Doubt that, well, listen to teenagers today- the language some of them use is atrocious. Actually, I think it is more foolishness that anything else and is indicative of an unregenerated life. Paul puts it this way...

Titus, Chapter 3

3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior; 7 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

You are known by what you say and what you do. Think about both things!!! Like that flower that lives in the gutter, people notice how you live- so does God!!! The Good News is... people can change!!! Jesus can help you "clean up your act" and live like you were intended to live. Like Paul said: "8 This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men; "
