In this episode of The Daily Bible Podcast, the hosts discuss Numbers 14 and 15 and Psalm 90. They reflect on the importance of faith using the story of the Israelites' rebellion and ensuing punishment for ignoring God's commands. They also examine Psalm 90, emphasizing the significance of living wisely and acknowledging life's fleeting nature. They touch on the idea of different dispensations and God's consistent character throughout the Bible. The episode additionally includes a playful mention of Shane & Shane’s interpretations of Psalm 90, emphasizing scripture-based songs while noting some humorous limitations.

Hey everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

What's up folks?

4

It's Saturday.

5

It's Women's Bible Study.

6

Saturday.

7

Happy Women's Bible Study Day.

8

I hope you're all making

your way there now.

9

Yeah, man.

10

You are excluded.

11

Yep.

12

Yeah, you don't need to be there.

13

In fact, please don't.

14

'cause that'd be weird.

15

Probably not the best thing for you to

do with your time in the first place.

16

Being at a women's Bible study.

17

Exactly.

18

But there's other good

things that you could do.

19

Yep.

20

Hey, we'll meet next week, by the way.

21

Yeah, we are, yeah.

22

Yeah.

23

Women are, y'all are meeting to continue

your study of Ephesians chapter one,

24

talking about our security in Christ

and why you are saved and guarded by

25

the, the power of God in that salvation.

26

So should be a great message.

27

I'm looking forward to hearing

about how it goes, and hopefully

28

it'll be an encouraging one for you.

29

Can't wait.

30

Yep.

31

Should, we're gonna listen to it, right?

32

Yes.

33

Yes, maybe yes.

34

I, I, my wife, if y'all listening,

don't know, she's the one that, that

35

teaches our women's Bible study.

36

Although pastor Rod, I think

Kristen is gonna be teaching coming

37

up here later on in the spring.

38

And, and even over the summer

some, and, and we help with that

39

process of, of message prep.

40

I mean, my wife does the, the

heavy lifting on You write it

41

for her and the study I do.

42

Tell her what to say.

43

Well, actually I have ai write it.

44

Tell the women.

45

Oh, okay.

46

And then, and then I give

it to her through ai.

47

Perfect.

48

Like hear ai Perfect.

49

To preach this.

50

No, she does the heavy lifting,

but she does run it by me.

51

And, and we workshop it together and

workshop the text together and talk

52

through application, everything else.

53

So I have a general

understanding going into it.

54

You know what, what she's, what she's got.

55

I'm excited for this one.

56

I think it, it's great.

57

I think the content's good.

58

I think she's gonna do a great job.

59

Are you not excited for the other ones?

60

No, I am.

61

Okay.

62

I just, just checking.

63

It's been fun.

64

She's new to this relatively speaking and

I just, it's been neat to see God develop

65

this I think gifting in her and, and she's

getting better and better as as it goes.

66

We always say all the time to

those that want to go into pastoral

67

ministry or not, that she wants

to go into pastoral ministry.

68

It's gonna be a pastor.

69

Hold on a second.

70

Let's back that up.

71

We tell everyone, check that all

of our wives No, those, that, that.

72

Want to become better at preaching.

73

The best way to become better

at preaching is more reps.

74

The more reps you can get, the

better preacher you're gonna

75

become to a certain degree.

76

You can study in the

classroom all you want.

77

Yeah.

78

But that can only take you so far.

79

The more you're up there.

80

Yeah.

81

If, if the giftings there, the

more you're up there, the better

82

you'll become, generally speaking.

83

Yeah.

84

I think there's still a great

place for critical feedback.

85

Yes.

86

Even as a, as a tenured teacher of

the word I, I, I, I love it actually.

87

I don't love it.

88

I hate it, but I love the effect of it.

89

I love having an outsider's opinion.

90

Yeah.

91

Yeah.

92

That's the one thing I miss the most

about not being at a, well, not, I

93

guess there's a lot of things I miss.

94

I don't know if I miss this the most.

95

That's one of the things I

miss about not being at av.

96

Whenever we'd have those sermon reviews

at Pastor Mike, I mean, I'd want to cry.

97

Yeah.

98

Most of the time.

99

That was, yeah, that's

the end of that sentence.

100

I wanted to cry most of the time,

but it made me a better preacher.

101

That's, that's just, that's

the end of, of the story.

102

That's it.

103

I just wanted to cry, but I, I, I did

become a better preacher, I think.

104

Yeah.

105

Well this is take two.

106

Yeah.

107

We had an issue with the last one.

108

I recorded it on our D script platform.

109

That's the thing that we

used to record our podcast.

110

Yeah.

111

And I went into the office to edit it

and it's like, Hey, I had an issue.

112

If this happens again,

restart your computer.

113

Oh, really?

114

Thanks to script.

115

I appreciate that.

116

So this is take two.

117

Hopefully you can't tell it.

118

We're just as exciting.

119

We're just as enthusiastic,

just as passionate.

120

But we're also the, we're

doing this the next day.

121

So we had a nights of sleep on it.

122

Cry a little bit.

123

Now we're back.

124

Maybe we said something in the first

one that God just didn't want out there.

125

I don't know.

126

I do a lot of editing, so sometimes I cut

stuff out that I don't like that you say.

127

I'm like, ah, he doesn't need to say that.

128

Sometimes I'll weaken your argument

by just cutting out critical.

129

That's great.

130

That's, man, that's awesome.

131

You'll, that's awesome.

132

Just, you'll just be

saying things incoherently.

133

That's, I was wondering why I was getting

all those texts about things going, Hey,

134

that sounded like heresy, what you said.

135

Yeah, that's that's about right.

136

Yeah.

137

Well anyways, we're in numbers

14, 15 and Psalm 90 today.

138

And numbers 14.

139

This is this is not good

for the people of Israel.

140

This is a, a rather disastrous

chapter, in fact, for the people of

141

Israel because they're gonna choose

to believe the reports of the, the 10

142

spies over those of Joshua and Caleb.

143

And as a result, they're gonna

say, we're not going, we're, we're

144

gonna refuse to take the land.

145

And in the process, they're gonna

grumble and complain against Moses and

146

Aaron and even to the point that they're

suggesting going, we're gonna go back to.

147

Egypt rather than rather than do what

God wants us to do, these scoundrels,

148

horrible, I mean, yeah, the, the, the

atrocities in Egypt that they left, the

149

things that, remember God sent Moses

to them because they were grumbling

150

under the weight of the slavery that

they were suffering under in Egypt

151

and how quickly they forget, and we

can be prone to that too, of saying.

152

Man, life is, is hard.

153

It was better back then.

154

And we forget that,

that where we're at now.

155

There, there's good things about

where we're at now, even when we

156

walk through some difficult times.

157

So they're grumbling, they're

saying we're not gonna do it.

158

But God intervenes and declares that

for the rebellion, none of the, the

159

Generation 20 and Up we're going

to enter into the Promised land.

160

Except for Joshua and Caleb.

161

And so after this, the people kind of

get together and say, you know what?

162

Nevermind God, we, we change our mind.

163

We're gonna do it anyways.

164

And Moses says, you better not.

165

And they say, we're gonna do it.

166

And, and then they go and the

Amalekites end up beating them

167

because God was not with them there.

168

But we, we talked about this.

169

I remember now my memory's jogging the,

the first time we recorded this episode.

170

Mm-hmm.

171

But.

172

The concept of the age.

173

I think you were the first one to bring

up, hey, these are the guys 20 and up.

174

What do we do with the guys

that were 19 and a half, almost

175

20 years old here, right?

176

They seem to get a pass.

177

People that we think are adults, we'd

call 18 and adults, and yet they don't

178

seem to have the same culpability as those

who were, what you brought up in our.

179

Podcast that never got recorded.

180

These guys are the fighting,

the the fighting age people.

181

The one, the one, the ones who

were drafted into military service.

182

And so I think there's something

about God that does provide a, a,

183

an opportunity for people to respond

according to their knowledge.

184

Not to say that everyone goes to heaven.

185

I'm not a universalist, I don't think

that's what we're talking about here,

186

but there are times when God has treated

people differently because of their age.

187

Right?

188

And it seems like God is.

189

I don't know, there's maybe there's a

dispensation of grace that is special

190

for those who are of a certain age or

maybe even a certain mental capacity.

191

Yeah, I've often wondered

about that myself.

192

But you have evidence of this.

193

Deuteronomy chapter one, we'll see

this soon in short order, and you also

194

see it in Jonah chapter four, where

he says, look man, shouldn't I have

195

mercy on those who, there's so many

thousands of people who don't know

196

their left hand from their right hand.

197

That is to say there, there's a certain

level of ignorance that God says I, I.

198

I care about that and I

wanna do something about it.

199

Yeah.

200

And this is where we as, as

Dispensationalist, depart a little

201

bit from our Covenant brothers and

sisters out there who are believers.

202

We're gonna be in heaven together,

we're gonna spend eternity together.

203

But we, we differ in the area of baptism.

204

We've got baptisms coming

up in March, by the way.

205

It's gonna be exciting.

206

We're gonna do that on campus in March.

207

They're at the church, so dude, you're

telling them stay tuned for that.

208

Wow.

209

We're gonna find out, you'll find out

more about that as, as we go along.

210

But it's gonna be Sunday

morning, a blow up pool.

211

It's got unicorns and rainbows in it.

212

It's gonna be the best.

213

It's gonna be amazing.

214

Blippy is gonna be there.

215

This got weird.

216

But we, we've talked about this.

217

We baptize professing believers.

218

Our covenant brothers and sisters,

especially in the Presbyterian

219

church, they will baptize.

220

Babies.

221

And one of the reasons they baptize

babies, Allah, what you were just talking

222

about, pastor Rod, is they believe that

that is an extension of the covenant, the

223

new covenant protection over that child.

224

And so it's, it's a marker,

just like circumcision of their

225

belonging to the people of God,

the people of God being the church.

226

And so they would say, they, they, that

act of baptizing a baby brings them into

227

the covenant relationship, the covenant

community there and protects them until.

228

The age of accountability and just like

us, they would say, we, we can't define

229

what the age of accountability is.

230

Right.

231

My problem and my contention is

the difficulty there is I don't see

232

anywhere in scripture that anyone

ever leaves the new covenant.

233

And so when, when we're saying we're,

we're taking a baby and baptizing the

234

baby to bring them under the covenant

protection there, then at some point

235

we're gonna have to say, they're gonna

have to leave the covenant in order

236

to actually repent and believe and be

saved and be regenerated for themselves.

237

Right.

238

And when does that happen?

239

And and where's the biblical precedent

for somebody leaving the, the new

240

covenant relationship with God?

241

I, I, I don't see that there.

242

And, and that's a difficulty,

but I think we would agree.

243

All of us would agree that you're right.

244

God does provide categories of, of

special grace for people who may be

245

of a certain age or mental capacity,

whatever it may be for extending a special

246

dispensation of grace towards them.

247

Yeah, and this, again, is not universalism

and this doesn't apply to everybody.

248

And this is I, I don't claim to know

God's operations, his internal operations,

249

but I do know that what we see in

scripture is that God does seem to show

250

some kind of protection, and I don't

wanna call it favoritism, but again, I

251

think dispensation is the best word for

it to protect people of a certain age.

252

Yeah.

253

And again, we call it the

age of accountability.

254

As a shorthand way of referring to

this, but there's not a specific

255

age in mind, I don't think.

256

Here you have an age, you have 20

and over who are gonna be judged.

257

Those who are under the age are

obviously given some kind of pass, but

258

that pass is not without consequence.

259

They still have consequences.

260

In fact, that's one of the

things that happens here.

261

God condemns them to 40

years of wandering numbers.

262

14 is a really important chapter because

this is referred to throughout scripture,

263

but just because he forgives them mm-hmm

doesn't mean the consequences go away.

264

The consequences remain and they're gonna

be painfully experienced for 40 years.

265

Yeah, this is a bad situation.

266

Yeah.

267

And, and you know, you mentioned this

is the, those of fighting age, it is

268

possible that those are younger than this.

269

They didn't have a say and so they,

they didn't have a voice to say

270

whether or not they should go into the

promised land or, or not, and that's

271

why they're excused, so to speak.

272

But to the point that you just made, I

think this is an example of God visiting

273

the sins of the father upon the, the.

274

Other generations that there are

consequences that the, these younger

275

generations are gonna have to suffer

these 40 years of wilderness wandering

276

because of the sins of their father.

277

The lack of faith in God's promises

is gonna trickle down and impact

278

their family now by the wilderness

wanderings and also the loss of

279

the, the life of their loved ones,

they're, they're gonna lose their dads.

280

They're gonna lose their grandpas because

of their disobedience and their rebellion.

281

Yeah, this is a bad situation.

282

And, and that's the thing just because

you experience the consequences of

283

your family sin doesn't mean that

it was because you're culpable.

284

It's just the natural order of things.

285

Yeah.

286

When you sin, especially as a leader

of any organization, whether it be the

287

family unit or something larger, the

people that are serving underneath you.

288

Are gonna suffer because of that.

289

Yes.

290

That's how sin works.

291

Yes.

292

And it's awful.

293

Which is another reason why

you ought to run from sin.

294

You ought to flee from it.

295

Scripture says, in order to

protect not only yourself, but

296

for the people that you love most.

297

Yeah.

298

Yeah.

299

Well, chapter 15, we get

into some familiar territory

300

here talking about material.

301

We've, we've seen before about

laws and offerings that were to be

302

brought for sacrifices and, and some

things about unintentional sins.

303

And we'd seen a lot about

unintentional sins before.

304

But in this.

305

Chapter, he's also gonna

talk about intentional sins.

306

Now, the unintentional sins, that's

something that somebody does, they don't

307

realize they're sinning when they do it.

308

The intentional sin is,

is the exact opposite.

309

Obviously it's, it's somebody who knows

what the law states and still decides

310

to do what they're gonna do regardless.

311

And for that person,

there was no sacrifice.

312

There was no atonement.

313

They were gonna be cut

off from their people.

314

So there was, this is a grave

thing to know what God's law says

315

and still to willfully break it.

316

And I just found myself

thinking about this.

317

It's, it's God's mercy and God's grace in

our current dispensation of being part of

318

the, the church age and the new covenant,

the, the standard is not the same today.

319

Now we need to be care.

320

Very careful about sinning.

321

Even when we know what God's command

says we need, we can still commit

322

intentional sins ourself, but we're

not cut off from the people of

323

God in, in the same sense there.

324

So this gets into a little bit of what

we were talking about yesterday or Yeah.

325

Yesterday's podcast about the idea of.

326

Of eternal life in the Torah

and, and progressive revelation.

327

And there, there is a matter of,

we are in a privileged position

328

where we sit today under the

dispensation that we're currently in.

329

There are, are things that we know and

that we get to experience today that, that

330

these people didn't get to experience.

331

And that's a difficult one.

332

That's a little bit of that

Romans nine category there of

333

going, okay, God is sovereign.

334

Over the unfolding of the way that

he interacts with his people at

335

different times in different ways.

336

In fact, that's what a dispensation is.

337

A dispensation is defined by, in

part, at least the way that God

338

interacts with his people and the

way that God establishes a pattern

339

for his people to interact with him.

340

And the dispensation of the law, which

is what we're currently under here as

341

we're reading this, is different than

what you and I enjoy as the dispensation

342

of the church age, where we get to enjoy

the, the blessings of the new covenant,

343

and we don't have to fear being cut

off from the people of God because of

344

an intentional sin or being executed.

345

I.

346

A cutoff can mean banishment

by the community or execution.

347

Exactly, yeah.

348

And we're not doing either really.

349

The, I guess the closest

parallel is when you're cut off

350

because of church discipline.

351

Right.

352

Which is different.

353

But there are similar effects.

354

And the goal is actually not to punish

the person, but to restore them.

355

It's meant to be

redemptive in its practice.

356

And so the cutting off in our case

looks like when someone sins with a

357

high hand, they're sitting against the,

the body or sitting against someone.

358

Matthew 18 gives us directions

for how to deal with that.

359

And the goal is that we

send them outta the church.

360

We condemn their sin in order that they'll

repent and be brought back into the fold.

361

So even the, that, it's

still different here.

362

I don't think that you read that

the goal is redemption, right?

363

The, the, the flavor of it is these are

the consequences for acting in these ways.

364

So I'm grateful.

365

And, and I think someone might argue

or contend, well, it seems like there's

366

a different God in the Old Testament.

367

Mm-hmm.

368

You have the God in the New Testament

who is gracious and kind, gentle Jesus.

369

Me, Ken Lowly as Christopher

Hitchens once talked about him.

370

Well, he did that actually quite a bit.

371

He would talk about Jesus and the God

of the Old Testament being this maniacal

372

what, what was, what was his phrase?

373

He had a lot of ways of talking about

the God of the Old Testament, but

374

essentially identifying something

that you and I are talking about

375

here, which it seems like, man, God is

different in the under the old covenant.

376

And I would say that God is doing

different things with his people.

377

But he is fundamentally the same God.

378

Different aspects of his

character are highlighted.

379

Mm-hmm.

380

But God is telling a story.

381

And that's one thing we often

forget when we talk about the

382

meta narrative of scripture.

383

We're talking about the story

that overarches all the stories.

384

And in this meta narrative of scripture,

God is painting a picture of who he

385

is and his operations with his people

eventually to culminate in Christ

386

the church and the end of the age.

387

So keep that in mind

as you read your Bible.

388

God is not a different God.

389

He's showcasing and highlighting

different aspects of his character.

390

As fitting for that dispensation

and, and still it's important to

391

remember that the, the operative

act of, of what made somebody a part

392

of, of God's covenant community was

still what made Abraham a part of the

393

covenant community, which is faith.

394

That's right.

395

Paul picks this up in Galatians

three, in, in verses 17 and 18.

396

He says, this is what I mean, the law,

which came four 30 years afterwards,

397

after Abraham does not annu a covenant

previously ratified by God, so as

398

to make the promises void for if

the inheritance comes by the law.

399

It no longer comes by promise.

400

But God gave it to Abraham by promise.

401

So, so the.

402

The operation is still there.

403

The offer of you can be

declared righteous by fate.

404

The same way that Abraham was

is still ex, it still exists.

405

It's still there for the people of God.

406

This is just a different way that

they're interacting with one another.

407

Chapter 15 also deals with

a couple of other things.

408

There's a Sabbath breaker.

409

So the people find somebody breaking the

Sabbath, gathering sticks on a Sabbath day

410

that was against the law, and they are.

411

They bring him to Moses and they, they

put him in custody trying to figure

412

out what to do, and they determine,

okay, this guy's gotta be put to death.

413

So they take him outside the camp

and they, they put him to death.

414

And so, again, another example of the

different dispensation there tassels

415

on the garments towards the end.

416

This becomes something during the New

Testament that the Pharisees use as

417

a sign of their self-righteousness.

418

But it was really meant to be a

reminder at, at this time or to

419

remember the commandments of the Lord.

420

And, and so that's what this,

these tassels were there to.

421

To represent visual things.

422

And that's always a good thing to have

visual things in our life that can jog our

423

memory about something that God has done.

424

Like raising the pile of stones,

crossing through the Jordan River, or

425

a, a visual reminder for something about

a law or the, the what's it called?

426

Memory palace, right?

427

Yeah.

428

Where you can use visual things

in your house or somewhere like

429

that to memorize scripture even.

430

Mm-hmm.

431

So that when you see that thing, it

reminds you of a passage of scripture

432

which is a, a biblical precedent here

because we see that in number chapter 15.

433

One of the cool things about this

particular passage is that Jesus followed

434

the law, so he would've had these

tassels, the fringes on his clothes.

435

In fact, you read about someone

touching the fringes of his clothes.

436

That's what we're talking

about here, the tassels.

437

When the woman who had the issue of blood

for 12 years, he touches the fringes

438

of his garments and she's made whole.

439

So this is a really cool connection.

440

Obviously, we don't do this today,

but to what you just said, I, I think

441

it, it's still important that we find.

442

And make visual reminders for

ourselves that help remind us

443

of what we're doing, what we're

about, and what's important to us.

444

Which might look as simple as what you

put on your wallpaper for your phone

445

or what you put on your wall at home or

something like that, or what's in your

446

car to remind you about what matters.

447

Some people do that with their family.

448

Pictures naturally, you know, you'll

put your, your family picture in your

449

dashboard or something like that.

450

It's also good as a family who loves the

Lord if you're trying to train your people

451

up in the way of the Lord to make sure

that you have reminders all throughout

452

your home for again, what matters.

453

Mm-hmm.

454

Yeah.

455

Yeah.

456

By the way, we as we turn to, to

Psalm 90, I wanna jump back to a, a

457

conversation that we had yesterday

about the idea of, of the afterlife.

458

We'd referenced that a little bit

earlier in today's podcast as well.

459

Something that, that came

to mind this morning.

460

Actually, Friday morning,

as, as we're recording this.

461

It's actually something that Jesus

said, and this is in Matthew chapter 22.

462

And this may help us a little bit in our

conversation because Jesus is, is talking

463

here and he's dealing with the Sadducees

in the question about the resurrection.

464

Whose, whose wife will she be?

465

And he answers this towards the

end, he says in verse 31, as for

466

the resurrection of the dead.

467

Have you not read what

was said to you by God?

468

And now he quotes all the way

back to the Torah, to our, our

469

passage here, Exodus three six.

470

And he says, what was said to you by

God, I am presently the God of Abraham,

471

the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.

472

Is he not the God of?

473

He's not the God of the dead.

474

Jesus says, but the God of the living.

475

Mm-hmm.

476

And so there's an example there

that quoting from Exodus, Jesus is

477

appealing back to something that

God said as evidence of the fact

478

that there is life after death.

479

'cause God says there presently,

I am the God of present tense.

480

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and he's

speaking to Moses at that point, well

481

guess who was already gone by the time

that he's talking to Moses, Abraham,

482

Isaac, and Jacob, and yet he says, I'm

the God of the living, not the dead.

483

That's the application that Jesus brings

as he's shedding light in that commentary.

484

Back on the Torah in Exodus

chapter three, verse six there.

485

That's a great reference and I might even.

486

Add to that Jesus is arguing from the

grammar of the text, which is why we

487

read the Bible the way that we do.

488

Yeah, we read grammar.

489

The grammatical historical

approach is our understanding

490

of how you should appropriately.

491

Understand the Bible that's called

hermeneutics, your the art and

492

Science of interpreting Scripture.

493

And we argue that the way that you do

that is by the grammar and the history.

494

That is, you understand

the original audience.

495

How would they have understood that?

496

That's how we should understand it.

497

And then we make

application from that point.

498

But Jesus gives us an example

of what that is to, to do.

499

He's looking at the text and saying,

here's what it says grammatically.

500

Of course he's the Lord, so he knows,

but he says, this is what the grammar is.

501

You should have understood this.

502

Yeah, that's a great reason why you

should read the Bible the way he does.

503

Yep.

504

Yeah.

505

So we get into Psalm 90 and, and Psalm

90 is actually not written by David

506

or ASAP or any of the other psalmists

that we see, but it's written by Moses.

507

And this is a, a psalm where Moses is

acknowledging the sin of the people.

508

So coming outta number chapter 14

probably, and that it was not hidden

509

from the Lord, that this was not

something that they had concealed.

510

It's a Psalm pleading for mercy

and for the people to learn

511

to be satisfied in the Lord.

512

And again here along the same lines of

what we were just talking about when Moses

513

says in verse 12, teach us to number our

days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

514

I think implied there is this

expectation of something beyond our life.

515

Help us to live carefully.

516

To live wisely because this

life is not all there is.

517

If this life is all there is, then I

don't wanna number my days 'cause that's

518

just gonna remember how short my life is.

519

But if there's something beyond this,

then yeah, help me number my days.

520

So I know that there's more than, than

what I'm just living for right now.

521

Well, I probably would.

522

I think there's a both end in, in that,

in that text there because it's, it

523

is like if, if my life is fleeting and

short and what I do now matters for

524

eternity, then what I do really matters.

525

Yeah.

526

The few minutes that I spend doing

this, or that has enormous value when

527

compared and contrasted against the

future that it's presenting for me.

528

Everything we do is imbued with

eternal weightiness and that means.

529

The way that we talk to each other and

the way that we lead our families, the

530

way that we love the, the grocery store

attendant, the way that we talk to the

531

flight attendant, all these things matter

because they're contributing either to

532

our eternal reward or our loss Yeah.

533

Of eternal rewards, which I know

people have pointed out in the past.

534

Well, you're not gonna be sad about

that 'cause you're gonna be in heaven.

535

Yeah, I, yeah, sure.

536

You're not gonna have tears about it.

537

But I can't help but wonder

maybe there is a sense of loss

538

without being sad about it.

539

Yeah.

540

I don't know.

541

I, I'm not perfected yet, as is

obvious, but I do say all of us should.

542

Look at eternity counter days and

say, man, I wanna make this life count

543

because I, I want to be rewarded by the

Lord and I ultimately want to give him

544

more glory with my life and not less.

545

Totally.

546

And, and yeah, I mean the, the passage,

I think it's in First Corinthians

547

where Paul says some are gonna be

saved, but only as through fire.

548

Mm-hmm.

549

That, that, that's gonna be different.

550

Then the one that's

not saved through fire.

551

And so there's gotta be something

negative there about that as far as

552

the assessment of eternal reward there.

553

And, and it, to your point, I, we don't

know exactly what that's gonna be like.

554

Yeah.

555

Eternity.

556

There's no more tears.

557

There's no more sorrow.

558

But maybe there is that moment of

final regret before you realize

559

that that is that last moment of,

of sorrow, that last moment of pain

560

that you feel because you are being.

561

Delivered, but as through fire because

of the life that you, you didn't lead.

562

Oh, that's interesting,

interesting, interesting.

563

Take that you would be, I don't know,

before your glorification takes place,

564

you're, you're viewing your life.

565

That'd be interesting.

566

'cause then you could feel regret.

567

Right.

568

And sorrow before.

569

It's like, I'm gonna let you feel this

and then I'm gonna save you completely.

570

Right.

571

I'm gonna finish your glorification

before I give you your new body.

572

That's interesting.

573

Which would prompt all the more

your glorification of Christ.

574

Just aware of that.

575

His, his mercy, his grace in, in spite

of all of that, you still totally.

576

It brought me in here.

577

So yeah, that's first Corinthians three

for you, for you all tracking along here.

578

First Corinthians three 15 is what Pastor

Peter was quoting, but it's that section

579

where he talks about how each of us

should take care of how we build upon the

580

foundation that is Christ and the gospel.

581

Yeah.

582

And how we live our lives and what

the consequences will be for that.

583

Yep.

584

Now the, the episode that is lost.

585

Into the Ether world forever.

586

We brought up Shay and Shane

in Oh, we did the song Arise.

587

Do you wanna re recap that?

588

Well, it was, it was in the moment.

589

Okay.

590

So we, I don't think we

can recreate anything.

591

We can't recreate it.

592

Yeah.

593

Shane and Shane have the song

called Arise and they talk

594

about they, they cite Psalm 90.

595

Yeah.

596

And we were kind of enjoying it, but only

to realize that one of their lyrics was.

597

Who cares about care,

about meaningless things.

598

And then one of the Shanes is

like, well, I do, I care about

599

Yahoo and I care about R two.

600

We, we thought, you know, I don't think we

can ever sing that song in church because

601

it, they're talking about yahoo.com

602

and R 2D two, R 2D two.

603

I don't think we're gonna be doing that.

604

But they also have Psalm 90 satisfy

us in the morning, which is a

605

better version of, yeah, Psalm 90.

606

So I mean, they've been

around for so long.

607

It's amazing that they haven't

said more things that are dated.

608

They're gonna have some clockers.

609

They do such a good, they did.

610

They have done such a

good job though, overall.

611

Yeah.

612

I mean, they have lasted 20, 30 years.

613

I don't know.

614

It's been a long time.

615

Yeah, it's been a long time for sure.

616

They've had a pretty

stellar career for sure.

617

Yeah.

618

I was going to see them in in high

school, so it's been more than 20 years.

619

Wow.

620

Yeah.

621

Wow.

622

Yep.

623

Alright, y'all, let's let's pray and

then we'll be done with this episode.

624

God, thanks for technology being able

to, to do this again, even though

625

the first time it didn't get recorded

and, and we joke about maybe we said

626

something, but, but perhaps that's it.

627

And, and we wanna be humble enough

to acknowledge that we certainly are,

628

are imperfect in our take on things.

629

But we thank you for the wisdom

that you've given us by your spirit.

630

We should pray that this episode

would be beneficial and helpful.

631

We pray that you keep us from the presump

presumptuous just arrogance and lack of

632

faith that we see in Israel in numbers 14.

633

We want to be those that trust you

and that walk faithfully after you,

634

and don't look back over our shoulder

at the Egypt that we've come out

635

of and desire to return to that.

636

And so guard us, we pray in that

regard, and we ask this in Christ name.

637

Amen.

638

Amen.

639

Keep in your Bibles.
