Hey everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

How's it going?

4

And hello?

5

It is going.

6

And Pastor Mark, you pointed out, well,

no, actually, was it you or Lewis that

7

pointed out to us during our staff

meeting yesterday as people are listening

8

to this, that today March the fourth?

9

Is that was Lewis?

10

That was.

11

That was Lewis, yeah.

12

Yeah, I do.

13

I do like.

14

Marching band.

15

I do like those sort of festivities.

16

'cause it is marching band day,

but it is marching band day.

17

Yeah.

18

Why is that?

19

March the fourth?

20

'cause March 4th.

21

March 4th.

22

Oh, March 4th.

23

Yeah.

24

That sounds such a band nerd thing to do.

25

Were you in marching band?

26

No, I was in orchestra.

27

Were you in a marching band?

28

Nope, but I have gone to like drum core

performances and stuff like that, so yeah.

29

What did play the orchestra trumpet?

30

So when are you gonna be joining

our worship team playing trumpet?

31

Uh, probably never.

32

Hmm.

33

I think your son has my trumpet though.

34

Yeah.

35

Yeah.

36

And he's thankful he

plays that quite a bit.

37

Yeah.

38

I love that trumpet.

39

Do you really?

40

I did.

41

And I was the second best in the

state of New Mexico with that trumpet.

42

Wow.

43

Which New Mexico has

about 14 people in it.

44

So being second best is actually

probably not that good, but you

45

know, I mean, what's one seventh?

46

What does that work out to?

47

Let's not focus on the math, let's just

focus on the honor and the distinction.

48

I'm just saying if I

was in some other state.

49

You know, you may not have been

the second probably been, probably

50

wouldn't have been as cool.

51

So just give context, you know,

if you say you're the second best

52

in Texas or something, that's

probably pretty, pretty cool.

53

Usually.

54

Yeah, you would think.

55

You would think for sure.

56

So March 4th as we're recording this,

we still have war going on overseas and

57

that's probably something that's still

worth our consideration as believers.

58

Love to get y'all's thoughts.

59

How much are you sharing with

your kids about this, if anything?

60

I know we've got parents that are

listening to this and we've got a

61

lot of young families in our church.

62

How much should kids be aware of?

63

I know for us, we've had the

news on in the background.

64

The kids have been home while we've had

the news on, we've talked some with them

65

about it, but a lot of times they're

not able to process how far away this

66

is and what the imminent threat is to

us and what as Christians we should

67

be, and yet we still want to take

advantage of an opportunity to teach.

68

So what have y'all been doing

with your families with this?

69

Well, I started out strong because I.

70

Let them listen to Donald

Trump's announcement of it.

71

It was about an eight minute speech, and

Lincoln at the end of the speech says,

72

well, I guess we can't go outside today,

because he thought that there was gonna

73

be bombs dropping outside our house.

74

So, yeah, that I might've needed some

additional context before I, I let them

75

see that, but I did let them see it.

76

Yep.

77

I can't stop my kids from reading

the Telegraph or the Washington

78

Post or the New York Times.

79

So I feel like they're

pretty well informed.

80

Your kids read those?

81

Yeah, I was just, I guys, please let

me, I'll just tell you what's happening.

82

And they insist no.

83

And the Telegraph is their favorite.

84

The Telegraph is their absolute favorite

because they read it with an accent.

85

It's the, they hear the

accent through the right.

86

They were on the Daily Mail until he

was like, no, don't, don't do that one.

87

Uh, I, I said nothing to my kids.

88

I, I do think.

89

That as long as I think first

you need to know your kids.

90

I think you need to know your kids.

91

Sound advice for any parent what?

92

Well, yeah, but it's, I

mean, it's their names.

93

It's easier said than

done and their birthdays.

94

You need to know what,

where did you come from?

95

You need to know your kids.

96

What is helpful for them at their age?

97

What?

98

What would be something they need to

know as opposed to something that.

99

They just stumble across.

100

I think if you're just have stuff

playing in the house and they're just

101

stumbling across it I think that's

a, I think that can be an issue.

102

I think that can be an issue, especially

if your kids are not ready to know that

103

sort of thing, or it's gonna produce

questions in their mind that would

104

be unhelpful at their age to answer.

105

I think you can show them things that

maybe you're not gonna tell 'em, but

106

if there's questions in their mind

about things that you're not willing

107

to answer, it's probably unhelpful to.

108

To show it to them because you should,

I think, answer questions when your

109

kids bring them to you at least,

again, in an age appropriate way.

110

Yeah, that's such a good point

because there's lots of things that

111

your kids should not even be asking

questions about yet and moderating

112

what they have access to serves them.

113

Kids should not by definition, know

the things that an adult knows.

114

There's a lot of things that

you should say, we're not gonna.

115

Talk about that right now, or It's a

good question, but you know what, here's

116

a really basic answer so that I don't

mislead you, but this is not the kind of

117

thing we can talk about at your age and

to your point I think a lot of parents

118

maybe don't spend enough time thinking

about the fact that our kids are our kids.

119

They don't have the processing faculties

that we have, or at least we should have.

120

And so giving them a drip feed of

information as opposed to a deluge,

121

a flood of saying, here's everything

that's happening and here's what

122

this means for all of geopolitics.

123

Maybe not the most helpful

way to approach that.

124

Is there.

125

Such a thing as an innocence with

our children that we as Christian

126

parents should be protecting.

127

And yet balancing that with an

understanding of the fallenness

128

of humanity and a desire to not

shelter them from the idea that,

129

Hey, this is a broken world.

130

Yes, I think there is an

innocence that we should protect

131

because you could theoretically.

132

Find all the most vile things that

have happened in the last week in

133

the news and take it to your kids and

say, look at all these horrible, vile,

134

disgusting things that have happened.

135

Yeah.

136

And that would be inappropriate.

137

Obviously making it extreme

right to answer the question.

138

But I do think that you

have to balance that.

139

I do think though, that there's

a place where you could be overly

140

protective as well, and you know, even

think about this war in Iran, kids

141

are gonna hear it about it at school.

142

I think it's good for you.

143

To be able to be the ones that

introduce the concepts to them and be

144

able to explain to them what, what's

going on, and give them the initial

145

interpretation of those things.

146

So you do have to balance it

and which is why I use the term,

147

or I say the phrase you need.

148

You need to know your kids.

149

Yeah.

150

Yeah.

151

I think there's something to

letting your kids be a kid.

152

Let, letting them mm-hmm.

153

Play outside.

154

Mm-hmm.

155

Without the burden of the world

events on their shoulders.

156

Not, I'm not attacking

you, not with Lincoln.

157

I'm just saying in general, like

letting them enjoy the innocence

158

of childhood is a good thing.

159

It's appropriate.

160

It's okay.

161

Your kid can be brilliant and yet

not know all the InterQual inter, you

162

know, all the inner workings of what's

going on at that geopolitical level.

163

That's okay.

164

You can shelter them from that and let

them play ninjas in the backyard and

165

just have fun doing that, or play, you

know, queen of America in the their room

166

or whatever they're doing, you know?

167

So, it's okay to preserve that.

168

You're not abdicating your

job as a parent either.

169

Well, let's jump into our

daily Bible reading for today.

170

Numbers 32 through 33.

171

Can I just mention one

thing before you keep going?

172

Yeah, please.

173

It is our one year

anniversary in this office.

174

It is our one year anniversary in this

office, and I just wanted you guys to

175

know that on March 4th day, the band day.

176

That's the day of our anniversary.

177

That's when we moved in here.

178

We're thanking God for that.

179

And if you're thinking, if you're

listening to this podcast today, we're

180

also doing a little small thing here at

our office celebrating this great space.

181

And we have it for, what, two years?

182

We have it for two years.

183

Yeah.

184

Two years.

185

So we have one more year in this building.

186

And based on our current trends,

we will be looking to move into

187

a little bit of a larger space.

188

I trust, hopefully, Lord willing,

God willing, so long as he provides.

189

Yep.

190

Yes.

191

Yeah.

192

Yeah, we're thankful

for the space, for sure.

193

Yes, we are.

194

And it reminds me too, of just

that time, that transition time.

195

I mean, pastor Mark had been

with us for a while, but we were

196

bringing all on around that time.

197

We were bringing Louis in

around that time as well.

198

So, yep.

199

It's been a good last year for sure.

200

Yeah.

201

Whoever we bring on next is

gonna have to be in the attic.

202

They are.

203

There should no more space.

204

It's gonna be brutally hot up there too.

205

And cold.

206

And cold, yeah.

207

Yeah.

208

During the cold months.

209

Well, let's get into numbers 32 through

33, man, numbers 32 is one of those head

210

scratchers for me because you've got.

211

Two tribes really I guess three

when we find out more about it.

212

But Reuben and g and then we're gonna find

out the half tribe of Manas is gonna get

213

in on this as well, who opt to stay on the

trans Jordan side of the promised land.

214

They're saying, Hey, we

kinda like this area.

215

Our herd is comfortable here.

216

Our animals have enough

grazing space here.

217

Moses, can we just stay here?

218

And the immediate question that comes

up is, are these guys trying to get out

219

of, going over and fighting the battles?

220

Are they afraid of going across?

221

Is this the 12 spies report happening all

over again just with a new generation?

222

And they assure Moses and the

leadership, no, this isn't the case.

223

We promise we'll go over,

we'll fight the battles.

224

And that's the stipulation

that he's gonna give him.

225

He does seek the Lord's advice on this.

226

And the Lord is gonna

allow them to do this.

227

I, I don't know in, in my mind, I

think I said this last year too.

228

This just seems incredibly shortsighted

to me because God has been promising

229

how good the Promised land is gonna be.

230

And here you have these guys going.

231

Yeah, no thanks.

232

We'll, we'll just stay on this side.

233

I I would not have been happy as

one of the citizens of Gad Manasses

234

and Ruben here to be like, wait

a minute, you guys asked what?

235

No, no, no.

236

We want to go across, we

want to go over there.

237

It's better over there, but

they choose to stay over here.

238

Just an interesting

shortsighted situation here.

239

All right, chapter 33.

240

We are going to begin to get into

the rehearsing of the history

241

of the people of Israel here.

242

And so we are gonna go back through from

the Exodus in chapter 33, at least all the

243

way through to the Plains of Moab there

by Jordan at Jericho, where they are.

244

And there's a lot of different cities.

245

Where it says the camped here,

the camped here, the camped here.

246

This is one of those opportunities where

in Pastor Ron, and I've recommended this

247

in the past, if you have a good Bible

atlas or if you've got a good map in the

248

back of your Bible or you've got Bible

software like logos or something like

249

that opening up an atlas and finding

these cities and you can kind of trace

250

the journey of Israel, if you go and look

these various cities up, a lot of 'em

251

are smaller, a lot of 'em are not gonna.

252

Make much of a dot on the map at all.

253

But this would be a good way

for you to see visibly where

254

they, they journeyed from.

255

And there's some significant markers,

like in verse 10 the Red Sea verse 15.

256

They're in, they're at Sinai there

down in verse 38, you've got.

257

Aaron's death reference there.

258

You've got the 40th year of wandering

there, so, you know, we're getting

259

close to the end at that point.

260

So chapter 33 is really getting into

a lot of the wilderness wanderings

261

and the history of how they got

from Egypt to where they're now.

262

Yeah, there's a, think about 40 locations

that are mentioned here, and some

263

of these we really don't know about.

264

We don't have anything written about

them that were unique or special but

265

what I'm reminded about co constantly

is that someone's keeping track,

266

someone's notating when they leave, what

they're doing, why they're doing it,

267

and within their 40 year span Moses at

least, and perhaps others are helping

268

to create a story a documentation

of what God has done with them.

269

And some of it's not very notable,

it's just like, oh, we were

270

there and we stayed and we left,

and then things were just fine.

271

And I constantly am reminded about how

valuable that kind of information is.

272

I wish I had a lot more information

about my ancestors and know what they

273

did and how they got to the states

and what precipitated that move.

274

And so I appreciate seeing this.

275

My only takeaway from this

would be something akin to you

276

ought to do something similar.

277

It doesn't have to be the same burden

of saying, I wanna document every single

278

thing that God does in my life, but to

have some kind of documentation would be

279

such a blend, a benefit for yourself and

also for those who follow you and can

280

appreciate how God has cared for you.

281

In the same way that we

appreciate how God has cared for

282

the Israelites in numbers 33.

283

Chapter 33 ends with a very clear

admonition from Moses that when

284

they enter the promised land, well

from God through Moses, they need

285

to drive out all the inhabitants.

286

And there's a condition here

that God says, if you do

287

this, then I will bless you.

288

And this is also connected back to

the Abrahamic covenant in chapter 33,

289

as well as God is talking about the

promise of the land and the blessings.

290

That's a key aspect of that promise

that he gave to Abraham back there.

291

So when Israel.

292

Goes into the promised land and

spoiler alert doesn't fulfill this.

293

This is one of those things to

go back to and say God told them

294

this is what they were to do.

295

They couldn't plead I ignorance.

296

They couldn't say, God, we

didn't know that you wanted us

297

to drive them out completely.

298

And so this is a situation where God

is saying, this is what you're to do.

299

Enter the promised land

and get rid of all of them.

300

Leave no one there behind.

301

And I think going back to.

302

Chapter 32, where we see some of

those, you know, the questionable

303

decision of those two tribes staying

outside of the promised land.

304

I think we're getting hints here of

some of the disaster that is coming.

305

I think what we're, there's

not an explicit statement by.

306

Moses, right?

307

He's not saying this is a problem for

these 10 reasons, but he is through the

308

narrative and through how he's compiling

these things, giving us as readers the

309

anticipation of this not going well.

310

Yeah.

311

Yeah.

312

And I also see here we're gonna start

getting into more and more of this

313

language, and I'm sure we're gonna have

to discuss it at least a few times.

314

Moses is telling them you're gonna drive

them out and you're gonna destroy all of

315

their metal images, their high places.

316

And he's gonna say more about that.

317

In fact, we've already seen several

phrases where he talks about what

318

they're supposed to do, and you've

already alluded to it as well, and

319

people have often struggled with this.

320

But I just want to point your

attention to this last perpe that we

321

look at from verses 50 through 56.

322

What we're seeing here is that

the motivation is not ethnic.

323

It's not anything to do with anything

except for the fact that these are evil

324

people who follow and worship an evil God.

325

Which is why Moses says to them,

if you go in there, you're gonna

326

drive out the inhabitants, which

by the way, it's interesting

327

language because it's not destroy.

328

We have seen that word

before, but this is drive out.

329

Dispossess to move them

from one place to another.

330

That doesn't change a whole lot for

us, but it is an interesting language.

331

Change or twist from

what we've seen before.

332

Notice again, he says drive them out

and destroy all their figured stones

333

and destroy all their metal images.

334

We know from.

335

Reading beforehand that Israel is

susceptible to idolatrous worship in the

336

same way that these other guys are, which

is why God is so protective over them.

337

It is his special love for them

that calls them and commands them.

338

You cannot intermingle with them

because their religion is a snare

339

to you, and I want you to see

that because God cares for you.

340

I think the transference for us

under the new covenant is similar.

341

Obviously we don't bow down to idols.

342

We're not making calves out of

gold, but we are susceptible to

343

a false religious view of God, of

the world if we're not careful.

344

And so I think what God said to Moses and

the Israelites under the old covenant,

345

he would say to us as well, be careful.

346

Be careful that you and flee from

idolatry lest you become ensnared.

347

Yeah, it makes me think of Joshua 24

where Joshua tells the people, right?

348

They, there's, we'll get to that

obviously in a little bit here in our

349

plan, but he tells the people after

they say they're recommitting to the

350

Lord, he says, you are not able to

serve the Lord for he's a holy God.

351

But paired with that is, oh, command

from him to the people to put away

352

their foreign gods that are among

you and to incline your heart to.

353

The Lord.

354

I mean, the problem that people of

Israel have is that they're not willing

355

to do that, and you can see that

going all the way into Joshua and of

356

course further beyond Joshua, but.

357

There's a problem here and ultimately

New Covenant is our solution to that.

358

Yep.

359

Well, let's jump over to Mark chapter 10.

360

Speaking of the new Covenant, our New

Testament reading, mark chapter 10, we

361

are gonna open up what Jesus's teaching

here about divorce and so this is a

362

another familiar scene from the Pharisees.

363

One thing to point out, we've talked a

little bit on the podcast recently, or

364

this year at least, about polygamy and

about the multiple wives that we find

365

in the Old Testament, and I think it's

important for us to note here in the New

366

Testament, we don't really find much.

367

If any of the evidence of polygamy taking

place during the church age here during

368

the early first century when Jesus is

here and even in through the church.

369

In fact, I think we get some of this

here when the Pharisee comes up in

370

verse two and said, is it lawful

for a man to divorce his wife?

371

And he's identifying one

singular woman who is the wife.

372

And so we don't know at what point in

time polygamy kind of faded out of the.

373

The vogue culturally here,

but it certainly appears

374

by the time of Christ here.

375

We, we do have the establishment

of, or the reestablishment of

376

what God's design always had

been, which is one man, one woman.

377

And here the question is, when can that

man choose to part ways with his wife?

378

When can the man choose

to divorce his wife?

379

And similar to what we read in

the gospel of Matthew we find

380

that Jesus says, you shouldn't.

381

And the only reason why Moses allowed you

to is because the hardness of your heart.

382

You were stubborn enough and Moses

said, okay, for these reasons and these

383

reasons alone, may you divorce your wife.

384

Now, mark doesn't record the reason

of adultery here but Matthew does.

385

And so it's not here, but it, we do

find it in Matthew 19, that Jesus does

386

give the exception clause for, unless

somebody commits adultery, then you

387

may divorce the person at that point.

388

But even still there, I think

the argument can be made.

389

That's not the design, that's the design,

the desire is still for reconciliation

390

to take place if possible at all.

391

One thing that stands out to me as

really important, and this was kind

392

of a new thing for me this year, I've

been working through some books on

393

Christian ethics and how we deal with

things, especially as we're talking about

394

under the Old Covenant, when we look

at how God dealt with the Canaanites

395

is this passage stood out to be.

396

Because here's what Jesus' commentary

is about the Old Testament law,

397

and what we notice here is that

the law that God gave Israel was

398

never meant to be an endorsement.

399

It was never, at least not all of it.

400

Here Jesus is saying this stipulation

in the law was a concession.

401

That is, it wasn't God's perfect plan.

402

It was what God permitted to

take place until the new covenant

403

came in fullness, which is a

whole new chasm of understanding.

404

For me, this is like, okay, a new paradigm

rather, because this tells me some of

405

the laws that we read about are not God

saying, here's a really good way to live,

406

but let me regulate and moderate the

evil ways that you're already living.

407

What a good point.

408

Yeah.

409

And that to me tells me there's more

to God's law than what meets the eye.

410

Just because it comes from God's law

through the pen of Moses, doesn't mean

411

this is God's perfect way of living.

412

It might be, as we see in the case of

divorce, this is God just saying, I will

413

permit this, but I'm gonna regulate it.

414

So that you do as minimal damage to

yourself and to others as possible.

415

Yeah.

416

E especially because the people

of Israel were coming out of it.

417

They were not.

418

They were coming outta 400

years of Egyptian influence.

419

They were coming outta 400 years

of Pagan oversight and influence.

420

And that was their culture.

421

That was their background.

422

That was who they were.

423

And so they're not coming out of, you

know, we're not going straight from Adam

424

to Noah, to Moses and here's Israel.

425

We're going, you know, through

this long period of time where

426

they're being influenced and

formed by pagan ideas and cultures.

427

And you're right.

428

I think God is taking that people.

429

And he's beginning to say, let me, lemme

curb some of your sinful ways and patterns

430

with this law that I'm giving you now

and reteach you and or train you rather

431

how you should operate under my law and

what's right and what's good under my law.

432

It is also interesting though

that cultures have changed.

433

Without specific revelation from God,

which I think goes to the argument

434

and obviously we see specific

Revelation mentioned here in chapter

435

10 as he references back to Genesis.

436

But you do see that natural law

is something that does influence

437

societies and humanities, humanity.

438

Not humanities does influence it.

439

And we should be thankful for that.

440

You referenced the fact that the

society and the culture at Jesus's

441

time wasn't promoting that Well, that

wasn't because that they had gotten

442

revelation from God and or specific

revelation from God, but it was because

443

of what I'm gonna argue is natural law.

444

Yeah, that's a good point.

445

Yeah.

446

The other thing I really appreciate

about Mark chapter 10 in the teaching

447

of the rich young man who comes up, is

one of the phrases that we see here,

448

and that is this, that Jesus looking

at him, verse 25, 21, loved him and

449

said to him, you lack one thing.

450

Go sell all you have and give to the poor.

451

I, I think what we see

here is that it, it is.

452

Loving for us to look at somebody who is

wrong, and just say, oh, you'll be okay.

453

Don't worry about it.

454

You'll make your way there.

455

You're doing good enough.

456

Hopefully you'll come around to it.

457

But it's loving for us to enter in

and say, this is the path forward.

458

This is the right thing for you to do.

459

This is what you really need.

460

And Jesus loved him enough to

say, you know what you need?

461

You need to put this idle to death.

462

We've talked about it before.

463

The problem with this

man wasn't his money.

464

It was that's what had his heart.

465

That's what had his affections.

466

That's what he was unwilling

to give up to follow Jesus.

467

And Jesus said, this is why I'm

gonna press in on this because I

468

love you enough to tell you this is

in the way you want eternal life.

469

This is what's in the way.

470

And I think we need to

love our neighbors enough.

471

We need to love our coworkers, our

family members, enough to be able

472

to say to them, you know, what's

in your way is your false religion?

473

What's in your way is your pride?

474

What's in your way is your sin?

475

What's in your way?

476

Whatever it may be.

477

Because it's not loving for us to just

look at them and be like you know what?

478

You'll be okay.

479

I'll just pray for you.

480

One of the things I think is really

interesting is the contrast here.

481

You passed over it.

482

It's one of my favorite sections, so

I have to give you a little grief of

483

passing over it, but verses 13 through 16

and you see that typical kids men pass.

484

I wanna talk about the kids.

485

Whatever.

486

Fine.

487

Go.

488

No, go ahead.

489

Go ahead.

490

Talk about, isn't it fascinating

that we see this passage where Jesus.

491

Says, look how easy it is.

492

I'm paraphrasing aggressively,

but he says, look how easy it is.

493

And then with the rich young

man, he says how difficult it is.

494

Oh, yeah.

495

And I think it's I think it's interesting.

496

Because we are people who don't

wanna be like the children, right?

497

We want to, we, our inclinations, and

I think even to some degree, as we

498

get older, our inclinations become

more like the rich young ruler.

499

But then also what's the solution to this?

500

Well, in verse 32 and the

following couple verses, right?

501

What's the solution to it?

502

It is the death of Jesus on the cross.

503

In the section about the children coming

to Jesus, I found it fascinating that

504

Jesus was so approachable to kids.

505

Yeah.

506

That he is.

507

I was watching an episode of

Little House on the Prairie, and

508

by the way, what a great show.

509

I just I haven't recommended that enough.

510

I, we've been watching

it slowly but surely.

511

We're on, what season are you on?

512

Five.

513

Mm-hmm.

514

Season five.

515

You're in a pretty good weight, right?

516

Yeah.

517

Or a little over halfway, I think.

518

And we just watched an episode where.

519

Charles was interacting with

kids and the woman was like,

520

oh man, he's so good with kids.

521

And she's impressed by that.

522

And I thought, man, the reason

that's attractive is because I think

523

Jesus shows us that it, there's

something about masculine power

524

being subdued enough for children to

say, I like being around this guy.

525

He exudes safety and not danger,

security and not insecurity, I suppose.

526

So here, I think Jesus shows us that he.

527

He wants kids to come to him.

528

They, he was not opposed to that.

529

He liked that.

530

And there's something incredibly manly

and good about having young people say,

531

you're disarming enough that I wanna be

around you, or you're strong enough that

532

I wanna seek shelter under your coverage.

533

I think that's a really beautiful picture

of Jesus that we sometimes just don't see.

534

Yeah.

535

Well, hey, let's pray and

they'll be done with this episode

536

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

537

Father, thanks for your word

and for the new insights that we

538

gain as we continue to read it.

539

Even as I was talking about some,

it was somebody else this week,

540

just that idea that there's always

more to be found in your word.

541

Not that your word changes, but we

change in our understanding of it.

542

Does as we continually come back and

read it more and more, and I pray that

543

we would be faithful to read your word

every single day, that we would get the

544

full picture of it, so that we could see

more of how your story is woven together

545

and how your character revealed to us.

546

And so we love your word.

547

We thank you for it, and pray

that we'd be faithful to apply.

548

In Jesus name, amen.

549

Amen.

550

Keep your in your Bibles.

551
