00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:03.420
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.420 --> 00:00:07.440
of the God called partners of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:09.270
Welcome to today's program, my friend.
4
00:00:09.270 --> 00:00:10.860
I'm so excited
5
00:00:10.860 --> 00:00:14.700
because today I have
Rabbi Schneider with us
6
00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:18.420
and we're going to be
discussing decoding the Torah.
7
00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:21.540
It's 5-parts, comes with a great study guide,
8
00:00:21.540 --> 00:00:24.120
and we're gonna be offering
you Rabbi Schneider's book,
9
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.730
which is called, Decoding the Torah,
10
00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:29.640
Applying Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World.
11
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:31.200
And the reason I'm excited is
12
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:34.140
because I have devoured this book
13
00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:35.880
and it has really helped me,
14
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.780
and I believe it's going
to be a blessing to you.
15
00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:42.870
Rabbi Schneider is a
very good friend of mine
16
00:00:42.870 --> 00:00:46.410
and I'm very honored that today
he has taken the time to be
17
00:00:46.410 --> 00:00:48.150
with me on the program.
18
00:00:48.150 --> 00:00:49.620
He has his own program,
19
00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:51.960
which is called, Discovering the Jewish Jesus.
20
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.030
If you don't know it,
you ought to look it up
21
00:00:54.030 --> 00:00:55.830
because it's worth watching.
22
00:00:55.830 --> 00:00:58.710
But today we're gonna
have Rabbi Schneider here.
23
00:00:58.710 --> 00:01:01.470
And not just today, but every
day this week, it's going
24
00:01:01.470 --> 00:01:02.970
to be wonderful.
25
00:01:02.970 --> 00:01:05.760
So let's get started.
26
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.030
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
27
00:01:09.030 --> 00:01:11.760
and your mind, where the word is,
28
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.550
the anchor in uncertain times
29
00:01:14.550 --> 00:01:17.850
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
30
00:01:17.850 --> 00:01:19.290
We keep it simple,
31
00:01:19.290 --> 00:01:23.850
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
32
00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:26.340
a love that emboldens,
33
00:01:27.750 --> 00:01:29.910
and a mission that touches the world.
34
00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:33.750
Let's join Rick Renner.
35
00:01:36.090 --> 00:01:37.830
Welcome to today's program.
36
00:01:37.830 --> 00:01:40.650
My name is Rick Renner and friend.
37
00:01:40.650 --> 00:01:44.550
I am so excited about today's program
38
00:01:44.550 --> 00:01:46.170
because I have a guest.
39
00:01:46.170 --> 00:01:48.900
I have Rabbi Kirk Schneider with us.
40
00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:51.990
And I want to tell you how
I found Rabbi Schneider.
41
00:01:51.990 --> 00:01:53.400
I've watched him for years.
42
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.590
He has a wonderful TV program called
43
00:01:55.590 --> 00:01:57.300
Discovering the Jewish Jesus.
44
00:01:57.300 --> 00:01:59.400
It's both radio and TV program.
45
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.190
It goes around the world,
touches millions of people.
46
00:02:02.190 --> 00:02:06.330
And I've watched him for
years with great fascination.
47
00:02:06.330 --> 00:02:11.130
But then our ministry obtained
a Russian speaking channel,
48
00:02:11.130 --> 00:02:14.190
which broadcast into 83
nations of the world.
49
00:02:14.190 --> 00:02:17.490
And Rabbi's program came with the channel.
50
00:02:17.490 --> 00:02:19.050
So I began to really tune into him
51
00:02:19.050 --> 00:02:21.930
because I wanted to know
what was he really teaching.
52
00:02:21.930 --> 00:02:25.200
And wow, it was such a blessing to me.
53
00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:28.680
I felt like I found a true
friend in the scripture.
54
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:30.990
And over the past couple
years, rabbi Schneider
55
00:02:30.990 --> 00:02:34.620
and I have really become
very dear friends.
56
00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:36.480
Denise and I have been in their home.
57
00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:38.550
We love Rabbi, we love Cynthia.
58
00:02:38.550 --> 00:02:43.380
And I am so excited that today
Rabbi Schneider is with us.
59
00:02:43.380 --> 00:02:44.700
So I want you to welcome him.
60
00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:46.770
And Rabbi I welcome you to the program,
61
00:02:47.610 --> 00:02:49.440
Brother, True Peace between you
62
00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:51.090
and I, a fellow worker and the Lord.
63
00:02:51.090 --> 00:02:54.930
What a great, what a great
evolution of our relationship
64
00:02:54.930 --> 00:02:58.260
and to be able to broadcast today through....
65
00:02:58.260 --> 00:02:59.320
all your outlets.
66
00:02:59.320 --> 00:03:01.270
And I just thank you for the honor Rick.
67
00:03:01.270 --> 00:03:02.950
Well, it's so good to be with you.
68
00:03:02.950 --> 00:03:05.980
You know, rabbi, my specialty
is New Testament Greek.
69
00:03:05.980 --> 00:03:08.770
And by the way, you are
really a whiz when it comes
70
00:03:08.770 --> 00:03:09.910
to New Testament doctrine.
71
00:03:09.910 --> 00:03:11.350
When I sit and watch your program
72
00:03:11.350 --> 00:03:15.190
and I regularly watch your
program, I'm amazed at
73
00:03:15.190 --> 00:03:17.500
how you handle New Testament scriptures,
74
00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:20.590
but you also have a
skill that I don't have,
75
00:03:20.590 --> 00:03:23.470
and that is your handling of
the Old Testament scriptures.
76
00:03:23.470 --> 00:03:25.720
And you refer a lot to the Hebrew.
77
00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:27.340
And the reason that I wanted you
78
00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:29.530
to be on my program this week is
79
00:03:29.530 --> 00:03:31.750
because of this amazing
book that you have written,
80
00:03:31.750 --> 00:03:34.510
which is called, Decoding the Torah.
81
00:03:34.510 --> 00:03:36.640
And when I was at your
home, you gave it to me.
82
00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:39.790
And when you placed it in my hands,
83
00:03:39.790 --> 00:03:42.370
it was like fireworks going
off on the inside of me.
84
00:03:42.370 --> 00:03:44.620
I was so excited to get this book
85
00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:47.350
and I immediately began to dive into it.
86
00:03:47.350 --> 00:03:49.930
And in the conclusion
of this book, you say
87
00:03:49.930 --> 00:03:54.250
that this book is like
God giving us divine keys
88
00:03:54.250 --> 00:03:57.160
to understand his wisdom,
his nature, his mercy,
89
00:03:57.160 --> 00:03:58.360
his justice.
90
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:02.320
But I want to ask you, why is
it called Decoding the Torah?
91
00:04:02.320 --> 00:04:04.960
And what is the Torah? - Great
92
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:05.960
question, Rick.
93
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:07.390
Well, many people don't understand
94
00:04:07.390 --> 00:04:11.595
that the word Torah
actually means instruction.
95
00:04:11.595 --> 00:04:13.480
A lot of times people hear the word Torah
96
00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:15.160
and they just think law.
97
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:17.950
But the Torah is more than just the law.
98
00:04:17.950 --> 00:04:21.280
The Torah is actually the first 5-books of our Bible:
99
00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:24.730
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,
Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
100
00:04:24.730 --> 00:04:27.400
And when we go to the book
of Genesis, for example,
101
00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:30.880
we find stories, biblical accounts of things that happened
102
00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:32.380
before the Law was given.
103
00:04:32.380 --> 00:04:35.950
So example, part of the
Torah is Abraham's calling.
104
00:04:35.950 --> 00:04:38.290
Abraham was before the law.
105
00:04:38.290 --> 00:04:39.760
But when we speak of the Torah,
106
00:04:39.760 --> 00:04:43.090
we're most particularly referring to the first 5-books
107
00:04:43.090 --> 00:04:44.800
of our Bible, the Old Testament,
108
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.660
which is also referred
to as the Pentateuch.
109
00:04:48.370 --> 00:04:50.950
Now, why is it important that we decode it?
110
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.880
Well, this is something
111
00:04:54.880 --> 00:04:58.450
I wish I could convey in
words the depth of what I feel
112
00:04:58.450 --> 00:05:02.380
because I think the church
has so missed the gift
113
00:05:02.380 --> 00:05:05.530
that God has given his
people through the Torah
114
00:05:05.530 --> 00:05:08.920
for many reasons, including
an anti-Semitic theology
115
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.910
that developed early, very early in the church. The Torah,
116
00:05:12.910 --> 00:05:16.450
many Christians, many Christians, Rick, think like this:
117
00:05:16.450 --> 00:05:18.280
we are not under the law anymore
118
00:05:18.280 --> 00:05:21.040
because Jesus redeemed us
from the curse of the law.
119
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:22.780
That's a hundred percent correct.
120
00:05:22.780 --> 00:05:24.910
But the problem comes when we think that
121
00:05:24.910 --> 00:05:28.510
because Jesus redeemed us from
the curse of the law, that
122
00:05:28.510 --> 00:05:30.940
therefore they think the
law is no longer relevant.
123
00:05:30.940 --> 00:05:32.890
That's where the mistake comes in
124
00:05:32.890 --> 00:05:36.610
because Jesus taught in Matthew 5, he said,
125
00:05:36.610 --> 00:05:38.830
do not think I've come to abolish the law
126
00:05:38.830 --> 00:05:42.880
and the prophets for I've not
come to abolish but fulfill.
127
00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:45.970
And he went on to say, everybody that forsakes the law
128
00:05:45.970 --> 00:05:48.550
and the prophets and teaches others to do
129
00:05:48.550 --> 00:05:52.810
so will be called least in the kingdom of Heaven.
130
00:05:52.810 --> 00:05:55.000
Now notice he's speaking
about the kingdom of Heaven.
131
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.710
This is about the the age that
we're in and the age come.
132
00:05:57.710 --> 00:06:00.110
So he is speaking about
people that forsake the law
133
00:06:00.110 --> 00:06:04.220
and the prophets not as those
that are legally under it,
134
00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:07.280
but as those that are
rejecting the self revelation
135
00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:10.430
of Jesus' God and Father,
which is in the law.
136
00:06:10.430 --> 00:06:12.080
Jesus taught those that forsake it
137
00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:13.100
and teach others to do
138
00:06:13.100 --> 00:06:15.830
so will be called least
in the kingdom of heaven.
139
00:06:15.830 --> 00:06:18.590
On the other end, he
said, those that keep it
140
00:06:18.590 --> 00:06:20.060
and teach others how to do
141
00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:23.060
so would be called great once again in
142
00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:24.230
the kingdom of heaven.
143
00:06:24.230 --> 00:06:26.930
So we are presently in the
age of the kingdom of heaven.
144
00:06:26.930 --> 00:06:29.300
It's the age now. It's the age to come.
145
00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:32.240
Jesus's revelation, the heart
146
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.540
of the father's revelation
is in the Torah.
147
00:06:35.540 --> 00:06:38.510
Again, God's people;
we're not under the law,
148
00:06:38.510 --> 00:06:40.880
but let's not forsake
the wisdom of the law
149
00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:45.880
because Paul taught that all
scripture is inspired by God
150
00:06:45.890 --> 00:06:48.920
and profitable for
teaching and for training
151
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.750
and righteousness.
152
00:06:50.750 --> 00:06:52.430
Hmm. You know, it's
interesting that scripture
153
00:06:52.430 --> 00:06:56.420
because in 2 Timothy 3, he says to Timothy,
154
00:06:56.420 --> 00:06:59.750
from a child, you've
known the holy scriptures.
155
00:06:59.750 --> 00:07:02.180
And you know, Rabbi, when you
read that in the Greek text,
156
00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:03.710
that word scripture,
157
00:07:03.710 --> 00:07:05.305
it's really not the word for a scripture.
158
00:07:05.305 --> 00:07:06.980
It's the word for every little jot,
159
00:07:06.980 --> 00:07:09.020
every little tittle in the text.
160
00:07:09.020 --> 00:07:11.300
And it's the equivalent
of the saying, Timothy,
161
00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:14.450
you were taught from childhood, not just
162
00:07:14.450 --> 00:07:15.770
to love the scriptures,
163
00:07:15.770 --> 00:07:19.220
but to love every
letter, every little jot,
164
00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:21.500
to have a great reverence
for the scriptures
165
00:07:21.500 --> 00:07:23.600
and the scriptures that
Paul is referring to
166
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.350
there is the Old Testament - that is the Old Testament.
167
00:07:28.430 --> 00:07:29.810
You hit the nail on the head.
168
00:07:29.810 --> 00:07:31.700
In fact, Paul also wrote
169
00:07:31.700 --> 00:07:34.070
that the Hebrew scriptures
were not only written
170
00:07:34.070 --> 00:07:36.560
for the Israelites and the Jewish people,
171
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.550
but Paul said they were written for us upon whom the end
172
00:07:40.550 --> 00:07:42.410
of the ages has come.
173
00:07:42.410 --> 00:07:46.220
So I just wanna encourage everybody today you're gonna gain
174
00:07:46.220 --> 00:07:49.940
deep revelation in how to walk with God
175
00:07:49.940 --> 00:07:51.290
as you study the Torah.
176
00:07:51.290 --> 00:07:54.320
I feel like there's a lot
of teaching from those
177
00:07:54.320 --> 00:07:55.700
that only know the New Testament
178
00:07:55.700 --> 00:07:59.510
and its beautiful, powerful,
rich grace teaching.
179
00:07:59.510 --> 00:08:03.110
But when it comes to actually
knowing how to love God, how
180
00:08:03.110 --> 00:08:06.050
to love people, how to live a holy life,
181
00:08:06.050 --> 00:08:07.880
the Old Testament helps us
182
00:08:07.880 --> 00:08:11.120
to walk out these great general principles.....that
183
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:12.980
are revealed in the New Testament.
184
00:08:12.980 --> 00:08:17.210
So when we study the Torah,
it teaches us how to walk
185
00:08:17.210 --> 00:08:21.440
with God in the little details
of our life: how to love God,
186
00:08:21.440 --> 00:08:25.580
how to dress in a holy way,
how to eat in a holy way, how
187
00:08:25.580 --> 00:08:28.610
to reconcile conflicts in a holy way.
188
00:08:28.610 --> 00:08:30.410
There's so much instruction here
189
00:08:30.410 --> 00:08:33.560
and many of God's people
unfortunately have not
190
00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:35.540
yet been exposed to it.
191
00:08:35.540 --> 00:08:39.170
Now there were 613 laws in the Torah,
192
00:08:39.170 --> 00:08:41.210
but in this book you cover a hundred.
193
00:08:41.210 --> 00:08:43.760
Why did you choose these particular 100
194
00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:45.050
Laws?
195
00:08:45.050 --> 00:08:47.840
Because I felt it was most easy
196
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:49.340
as the first step forward
197
00:08:49.340 --> 00:08:52.460
to introduce these first
hundred that I've selected.
198
00:08:52.460 --> 00:08:55.680
It was, it was most easy
to bring application
199
00:08:55.680 --> 00:08:57.720
to the disciples of Jesus.
200
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.660
I'm looking at the table of contents and Rabbi
201
00:09:00.660 --> 00:09:02.580
what is here is just amazing.
202
00:09:02.580 --> 00:09:06.480
It is amazing. I wish everybody had a copy of this book.
203
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.300
And when I begin to
read through this book,
204
00:09:09.300 --> 00:09:11.700
I found not only is it law
from the Old Testament,
205
00:09:11.700 --> 00:09:13.980
it has great application to my life
206
00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:15.990
as a New Testament Christian.
207
00:09:15.990 --> 00:09:20.640
And one law that really
fascinated me was on page 81,
208
00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:25.640
which is the law to build
a sanctuary for God.
209
00:09:25.890 --> 00:09:30.060
That is amazing. And I would like to read it from your book.
210
00:09:30.060 --> 00:09:32.520
And it says this - to build a sanctuary for God.
211
00:09:32.520 --> 00:09:35.460
And here's the scripture, it's Exodus 25:8.
212
00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:39.900
Let them construct a sanctuary
for me that I may dwell
213
00:09:39.900 --> 00:09:43.440
among them. That is one of the laws of the Torah.
214
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.440
But that is great application
for the New Testament.
215
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.210
And I just wonder if you could comment on
216
00:09:48.210 --> 00:09:49.950
that particular law.
217
00:09:49.950 --> 00:09:51.730
Wow - This is so beautiful.
218
00:09:51.730 --> 00:09:54.480
What I really love that jumps off the page of the
219
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.810
Hebrew scriptures is the word - dwell.
220
00:09:57.810 --> 00:09:59.910
The Lord said, build me a tabernacle.
221
00:09:59.910 --> 00:10:03.720
The Hebrew word there for tabernacle was called miskan.
222
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.070
It's a dwelling place of God.
223
00:10:05.070 --> 00:10:08.370
And the Lord said to Moses, I
want you to build this miskan,
224
00:10:08.370 --> 00:10:09.840
this tabernacle for me.
225
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.770
And then he went on to say that I might dwell, Rick,
226
00:10:13.770 --> 00:10:15.060
with my people.
227
00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:16.740
So in the Hebrew scriptures, this is
228
00:10:16.740 --> 00:10:18.990
where God met his people.
229
00:10:18.990 --> 00:10:20.220
And it's fascinating
230
00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:25.220
'cause every single part of
the tabernacle was architected
231
00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:26.430
by God himself.
232
00:10:26.430 --> 00:10:28.470
In other words, the Israelites
didn't just get together
233
00:10:28.470 --> 00:10:31.050
and say, Hey listen, let's
build a house for God.
234
00:10:31.050 --> 00:10:32.370
And then they dreamed up
235
00:10:32.370 --> 00:10:34.500
what they thought would be really cool.
236
00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:37.590
Now, instead God said, I want
the fence to be this long.
237
00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:39.480
I want the fence to be this high.
238
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.910
I want these pieces of
furniture to be in it.
239
00:10:41.910 --> 00:10:45.570
I want it to be covered
up in, in blue fabric.
240
00:10:45.570 --> 00:10:47.850
I want this to be overlaid with gold.
241
00:10:47.850 --> 00:10:52.080
God architected every
piece of the tabernacle
242
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.620
and every single piece
of it means something.
243
00:10:55.620 --> 00:10:56.760
In fact, that's my next book
244
00:10:56.760 --> 00:10:59.670
that I'm working on right now
is the tabernacle
245
00:10:59.670 --> 00:11:03.270
of Moses, a pathway into
the divine presence.
246
00:11:03.270 --> 00:11:06.570
So, we don't long, we don't any longer
247
00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:10.170
build physical tabernacles.
248
00:11:10.170 --> 00:11:12.360
But there's prophetic
application for us today.
249
00:11:13.290 --> 00:11:16.020
You know, I've been doing
a study on 1st Peter,
250
00:11:16.020 --> 00:11:18.240
I just did the RIV, which
is the Renner Interpretive
251
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:19.530
Version of 1st Peter.
252
00:11:19.530 --> 00:11:22.380
And when you come to 1st Peter 2:
253
00:11:22.380 --> 00:11:24.690
5, it says, Ye also
254
00:11:24.690 --> 00:11:28.560
as lively stones are built
up a spiritual house,
255
00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:29.580
a holy priesthood
256
00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:32.160
to offer up spiritual
sacrifices acceptable
257
00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:33.600
to God by Jesus Christ.
258
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.270
And when I read this law in
your book, Decoding the Torah,
259
00:11:36.270 --> 00:11:38.520
I thought about this verse. By the time
260
00:11:38.520 --> 00:11:39.930
that Peter wrote his epistle,
261
00:11:39.930 --> 00:11:42.930
most scholars believe
the temple in Jerusalem
262
00:11:42.930 --> 00:11:44.700
had already been destroyed.
263
00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:47.970
It was gone. And so now
Peter was basically saying,
264
00:11:47.970 --> 00:11:51.240
Hey friends, the old temple is gone,
265
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.830
but God still wants to
dwell among his people.
266
00:11:53.830 --> 00:11:56.260
And so now God has built in a new house
267
00:11:56.260 --> 00:11:58.660
and the new house is
made up of living stones.
268
00:11:58.660 --> 00:12:00.790
And of course that's me,
that's you, that's everybody
269
00:12:00.790 --> 00:12:02.410
that calls on the name of the Lord.
270
00:12:02.410 --> 00:12:05.800
We are part of the building
materials that God is using
271
00:12:05.800 --> 00:12:08.290
to construct a new temple.
272
00:12:08.290 --> 00:12:11.350
Something else that amazed me,
Rabbi in the New Testament;
273
00:12:11.350 --> 00:12:13.600
there are 3 metaphors for the church.
274
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.620
One is the body of Christ. Everybody talks about that one.
275
00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:19.480
The second one is a vineyard,
276
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.160
but the number one metaphor
277
00:12:21.160 --> 00:12:24.370
of the church in the entire New Testament: I went
278
00:12:24.370 --> 00:12:26.380
through it, I counted, I even wrote a book about
279
00:12:26.380 --> 00:12:28.480
it - is a temple.
280
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.030
God is building a temple
281
00:12:31.030 --> 00:12:34.390
and the church is to be, according to Ephesians 2,
282
00:12:34.390 --> 00:12:38.050
a habitation for God and for his spirit.
283
00:12:38.050 --> 00:12:40.480
So God is still wanting
to build a habitation
284
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:41.500
among his people.
285
00:12:42.460 --> 00:12:45.730
Amen. And I really love the focus on this, the temple,
286
00:12:45.730 --> 00:12:47.740
the temple, the sacrifices
287
00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:50.290
and the priesthood,
such specific guidelines
288
00:12:50.290 --> 00:12:53.590
and instructions the Lord
gave us in the Torah.
289
00:12:53.590 --> 00:12:56.950
So when we study the instructions in the law
290
00:12:56.950 --> 00:13:00.010
regarding the tabernacle,
which later became the temple,
291
00:13:00.010 --> 00:13:03.460
many of our viewers know
that in the wilderness
292
00:13:03.460 --> 00:13:04.900
God gave Israel the instructions
293
00:13:04.900 --> 00:13:07.600
to build the tabernacle called the Miskan.
294
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.420
And once they entered the promised land,
295
00:13:10.420 --> 00:13:12.730
once they entered Israel, then
296
00:13:12.730 --> 00:13:14.505
what they did is they converted the
297
00:13:14.505 --> 00:13:18.490
temporary tabernacle into the permanent structure
298
00:13:18.490 --> 00:13:19.870
called the temple.
299
00:13:19.870 --> 00:13:21.490
But the temple was built
300
00:13:21.490 --> 00:13:24.670
after the pattern of the tabernacle.
301
00:13:24.670 --> 00:13:28.570
The point is, is that these
guidelines of temple worship,
302
00:13:28.570 --> 00:13:32.890
of the priesthood, of the tabernacle - very specific
303
00:13:32.890 --> 00:13:35.440
and knowing as you just said, Rick, that now we
304
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.550
as God's people are the temple, we are his priest on earth.
305
00:13:39.550 --> 00:13:43.540
We need to take seriously the laws in the Torah
306
00:13:43.540 --> 00:13:45.190
that govern the priesthood.
307
00:13:45.190 --> 00:13:46.960
And that governed the worship
308
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:48.820
that took place in the tabernacle
309
00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:52.330
because there was great separation that was involved here.
310
00:13:52.330 --> 00:13:55.720
In other words, the priest that functioned in the tabernacle
311
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.450
and then the temple, they were guided by very,
312
00:13:58.450 --> 00:14:01.570
very specific instructions: the way they lived,
313
00:14:01.570 --> 00:14:02.800
the way they dressed.
314
00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:03.910
And we today,
315
00:14:03.910 --> 00:14:06.730
as God's people can learn
a great deal from this
316
00:14:06.730 --> 00:14:09.400
because unfortunately we live in kind of a culture,
317
00:14:09.400 --> 00:14:12.730
what I like to call greasy
grace and sloppy agape.
318
00:14:12.730 --> 00:14:15.910
We don't really know how to live holy, how
319
00:14:15.910 --> 00:14:17.800
to live separate lives.
320
00:14:17.800 --> 00:14:21.430
And so just very, very
basically here, just as a big,
321
00:14:21.430 --> 00:14:23.380
just a prophetic leap here,
322
00:14:23.380 --> 00:14:26.440
but knowing that the Lord told Israel to build this Miskan,
323
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:30.610
this tabernacle for the purpose of dwelling among them,
324
00:14:30.610 --> 00:14:32.230
that's exactly what the Lord said,
325
00:14:32.230 --> 00:14:34.150
that I might dwell among you.
326
00:14:34.150 --> 00:14:37.150
We ask ourself, well is
there something that we
327
00:14:37.150 --> 00:14:41.170
as God's priest today need
to build as his temple
328
00:14:41.170 --> 00:14:44.110
as you said, that he can dwell with us.
329
00:14:44.110 --> 00:14:46.630
And there is. Jesus said, Yeshua
330
00:14:46.630 --> 00:14:50.500
of Nazareth said in the gospel of John 14,
331
00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:55.040
Rick, verse 23, he said this - If anyone loves me,
332
00:14:55.040 --> 00:14:57.770
he will keep my word and my father will love him
333
00:14:57.770 --> 00:15:01.670
and get this now - and we will come to him
334
00:15:02.510 --> 00:15:05.300
and make our abode with him
335
00:15:05.300 --> 00:15:06.300
Abode.
336
00:15:06.300 --> 00:15:08.570
So abode: dwelling - abode.
337
00:15:08.570 --> 00:15:13.040
And so we kind of have this
concept that we don't have
338
00:15:13.040 --> 00:15:15.470
to do anything to
experience God's presence.
339
00:15:15.470 --> 00:15:17.060
It's all just a free gift of grace,
340
00:15:17.060 --> 00:15:20.750
which it 100% is a free gift of grace.
341
00:15:20.750 --> 00:15:24.050
But remember James said in James 4:8, Draw near
342
00:15:24.050 --> 00:15:25.760
to God
343
00:15:25.760 --> 00:15:27.320
he will draw near too.
344
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:29.210
The Lord wants his presence to be able
345
00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:33.590
to rest upon our soul, but he
can only rest upon our soul.
346
00:15:33.590 --> 00:15:34.760
He can only dwell
347
00:15:34.760 --> 00:15:37.880
with us when we're walking
in alignment with him.
348
00:15:37.880 --> 00:15:41.630
And the laws of the Torah
help us have insight how to do
349
00:15:41.630 --> 00:15:45.440
that again, not as those that
are legally under the law,
350
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:49.130
but as those that see the prophetic application for it in it
351
00:15:49.130 --> 00:15:50.840
for our lives today.
352
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.090
Well, I have to tell
you that when I read this,
353
00:15:53.090 --> 00:15:55.100
it just stunned me the
way that you were able
354
00:15:55.100 --> 00:15:57.170
to take Old Testament laws
355
00:15:57.170 --> 00:16:00.200
and give it application for my life.
356
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.380
And when you say that they are divine keys,
357
00:16:03.380 --> 00:16:05.690
I could see they really are divine keys.
358
00:16:05.690 --> 00:16:07.460
And I was kind of ashamed
359
00:16:07.460 --> 00:16:09.560
that I hadn't spent more time studying it.
360
00:16:09.560 --> 00:16:12.470
But another law that you discuss, which I'd like to refer
361
00:16:12.470 --> 00:16:15.500
to, is the command for the priests
362
00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:17.150
to take care of their appearance.
363
00:16:17.150 --> 00:16:20.270
Now you were talking
about rules for conduct
364
00:16:20.270 --> 00:16:21.440
inside the house of God.
365
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.210
Well here you have the
command for the priest
366
00:16:23.210 --> 00:16:24.620
to take care of their appearance.
367
00:16:24.620 --> 00:16:28.040
And the scripture is Leviticus 10:6
368
00:16:28.040 --> 00:16:28.873
which says,
369
00:16:28.873 --> 00:16:29.706
Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, Eleazar
370
00:16:32.090 --> 00:16:35.360
and Ithamar - do not uncover your heads
371
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:37.715
nor tear your clothes.
372
00:16:37.715 --> 00:16:39.980
Would you please comment on that?
373
00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:42.020
Well, the original historical context
374
00:16:42.020 --> 00:16:43.580
of this is very interesting
375
00:16:43.580 --> 00:16:46.970
because the original context was immediately
376
00:16:46.970 --> 00:16:49.635
after God judged Nadab
377
00:16:49.635 --> 00:16:54.140
and Abihu for offering up strange incense and fire to him,
378
00:16:54.140 --> 00:16:57.770
the Lord told his priest not to uncover their heads
379
00:16:57.770 --> 00:16:58.970
or tear their clothes.
380
00:16:58.970 --> 00:17:03.140
And the reason was God did not want his priest
381
00:17:03.140 --> 00:17:05.030
to mourn their deaths
382
00:17:05.030 --> 00:17:09.050
because the priest needed to stand in solidarity
383
00:17:09.050 --> 00:17:10.640
with God's judgment.
384
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:13.190
So if God would've struck Nadab & Abihu,
385
00:17:13.190 --> 00:17:15.560
and then the priest would've
been tearing out their hair
386
00:17:15.560 --> 00:17:16.700
and tearing their clothes, oh my
387
00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:17.750
gosh, what's happened there?
388
00:17:17.750 --> 00:17:19.670
What has God done? Why'd you do that?
389
00:17:19.670 --> 00:17:23.480
It would've separated God's
people from trusting in his
390
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:24.920
righteous judgment.
391
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.700
And so Nadab & Abihu who had to maintain a dignified
392
00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:30.350
and holy appearance
393
00:17:30.350 --> 00:17:33.380
before his people. The rabbis,
394
00:17:33.380 --> 00:17:34.670
this is really interesting, Rick,
395
00:17:34.670 --> 00:17:37.790
the rabbis derive from this law,
396
00:17:37.790 --> 00:17:41.180
you know, Judaism is a religion of great study.
397
00:17:41.180 --> 00:17:44.480
I mean, Jewish religious Jewish people have gone over these
398
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.180
laws for thousands of years trying
399
00:17:47.180 --> 00:17:50.910
to extract the minute
detail of application.
400
00:17:50.910 --> 00:17:53.460
And so the rabbis concluded from this law, one
401
00:17:53.460 --> 00:17:56.970
of the principles is to take care of our appearance.
402
00:17:56.970 --> 00:17:58.890
That is that the priest need
403
00:17:58.890 --> 00:18:00.510
to take care of their appearance.
404
00:18:00.510 --> 00:18:04.200
And the concept here again,
is that if the priest walk
405
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.450
around with their hair all disheveled,
406
00:18:06.450 --> 00:18:07.860
they don't take care of - you know -
407
00:18:07.860 --> 00:18:09.570
they don't wash themselves,
408
00:18:09.570 --> 00:18:13.500
they don't present themselves
in a way that appears
409
00:18:13.500 --> 00:18:15.360
as if they're healthy,
410
00:18:15.360 --> 00:18:18.060
it's gonna cause God's people to doubt.
411
00:18:19.050 --> 00:18:22.470
And so for us today, we need to recognize
412
00:18:22.470 --> 00:18:27.210
that we are God's visible
representatives in the earth.
413
00:18:27.210 --> 00:18:30.810
Just like the priest in Nadab & Abihu who's day were visible
414
00:18:30.810 --> 00:18:33.570
representatives and had to represent themselves
415
00:18:33.570 --> 00:18:36.900
before the people in a way that inspired faith in God
416
00:18:36.900 --> 00:18:38.400
and allegiance to God,
417
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:42.000
we as God's people need to think about how are we dressing
418
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.220
and is the way that we're
taking care of ourselves
419
00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:45.870
with our grooming and everything else,
420
00:18:45.870 --> 00:18:48.685
is it inspiring faith in God's people?
421
00:18:48.685 --> 00:18:52.140
Or are we walking around
looking like a slump defeated?
422
00:18:52.140 --> 00:18:54.390
And it's actually making
people think, well if
423
00:18:54.390 --> 00:18:55.830
that person knows God,
424
00:18:55.830 --> 00:18:57.300
why do they not take care of themselves?
425
00:18:57.300 --> 00:18:58.710
Why do they not wash their hair?
426
00:18:58.710 --> 00:19:00.630
Why do they not tuck in their clothes?
427
00:19:00.630 --> 00:19:02.790
Why do they not dress in a more
428
00:19:03.900 --> 00:19:06.360
well balanced way with grooming?
429
00:19:07.380 --> 00:19:09.390
You know, I feel like this
point is so very important.
430
00:19:09.390 --> 00:19:11.100
I'd like to pick up on
it on the next program
431
00:19:11.100 --> 00:19:13.720
because I think we have
a lot to say about this.
432
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:16.230
But I'm personally very disturbed by
433
00:19:16.230 --> 00:19:19.020
how today preachers dress, you know,
434
00:19:19.020 --> 00:19:20.790
I see them in the pulpit,
they're wearing shorts,
435
00:19:20.790 --> 00:19:23.700
they're wearing tennis shoes,
they have jeans that are torn
436
00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:26.070
and that may be fashionable right now.
437
00:19:26.070 --> 00:19:28.620
But you know the word preach, the Greek word kerysso
438
00:19:29.670 --> 00:19:31.440
is the word which described the official
439
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.090
spokesman of a king.
440
00:19:33.090 --> 00:19:34.950
And to be the official spokesman
441
00:19:34.950 --> 00:19:37.110
of a king required several things.
442
00:19:37.110 --> 00:19:39.090
You had to be cultured, you had to know
443
00:19:39.090 --> 00:19:40.110
how to speak to people.
444
00:19:40.110 --> 00:19:42.840
You had to know how you
were not to speak to people.
445
00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:45.840
You had to be careful to really represent
446
00:19:45.840 --> 00:19:48.150
what the king had told you to say.
447
00:19:48.150 --> 00:19:51.480
And it required that
you dressed in a fashion
448
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:54.180
to represent the splendor of the king.
449
00:19:54.180 --> 00:19:57.735
And sometimes I think we've
so dressed down the gospel
450
00:19:57.735 --> 00:20:02.160
and so dressed down the pulpit
that it's not respectable,
451
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:03.630
it's just not respectable.
452
00:20:03.630 --> 00:20:06.780
And sometimes when I see guys
dressed in their tennis shoes
453
00:20:06.780 --> 00:20:09.180
and their jeans that are all torn,
454
00:20:09.180 --> 00:20:13.110
I always wonder if they went
to the bank to get a loan,
455
00:20:13.110 --> 00:20:14.610
would they go dressed like that
456
00:20:14.610 --> 00:20:17.220
or would they put on their finest suit?
457
00:20:17.220 --> 00:20:19.560
And we need to understand we are
458
00:20:19.560 --> 00:20:21.510
representatives of the Lord.
459
00:20:21.510 --> 00:20:23.430
And I love this command
460
00:20:23.430 --> 00:20:26.370
because God is really very concerned about
461
00:20:26.370 --> 00:20:29.310
how we look when we represent him.
462
00:20:29.310 --> 00:20:30.390
And I wanna say thank you
463
00:20:30.390 --> 00:20:32.880
for writing about this particular law,
464
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.500
but we're out of time.
465
00:20:34.500 --> 00:20:36.510
But I'll be back in just a moment.
466
00:20:36.510 --> 00:20:38.280
And tomorrow we're gonna be back here
467
00:20:38.280 --> 00:20:39.900
with Rabbi Schneider again.
468
00:20:48.280 --> 00:20:51.070
Does it matter what church
you give your tithe to?
469
00:20:51.070 --> 00:20:53.740
Well, the Bible's pretty clear in Malachi 3,
470
00:20:53.740 --> 00:20:57.250
that you're to bring all the tithe into the storehouse.
471
00:20:57.250 --> 00:21:00.400
The storehouse is generally
understood to be that place
472
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:02.620
where you regularly feed
473
00:21:02.620 --> 00:21:05.050
and where you are spiritually nurtured.
474
00:21:05.050 --> 00:21:07.180
So that should be your home church.
475
00:21:07.180 --> 00:21:09.400
Now that doesn't mean that
you can't give to other places
476
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:13.030
as well, you can, but
those should be offerings.
477
00:21:13.030 --> 00:21:14.980
But the tithe belongs to your church
478
00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:19.630
or to the place where you are
most regularly fed the word
479
00:21:19.630 --> 00:21:22.840
of God, thus storehouse
that you live your life out
480
00:21:22.840 --> 00:21:24.670
of spiritually.
481
00:21:24.670 --> 00:21:26.530
I give to our church
482
00:21:26.530 --> 00:21:29.950
because our church is where our spiritual life is.
483
00:21:29.950 --> 00:21:32.830
And I believe that that's where the tithes should be given.
484
00:21:32.830 --> 00:21:36.880
So wherever the storehouse is,
whoever's feeding you, that's
485
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:39.220
where you need to be giving your tithe.
486
00:21:39.220 --> 00:21:41.980
And the scripture is very clear that if we give our tithe,
487
00:21:41.980 --> 00:21:44.050
God will open the windows of heaven
488
00:21:44.050 --> 00:21:46.690
and he'll pour a blessing out into our lives.
489
00:21:48.520 --> 00:21:51.490
Are you missing the deeper meaning of the Torah?
490
00:21:51.490 --> 00:21:54.910

492
00:21:56.710 --> 00:21:59.830
how the law still speaks
to believers today, not
493
00:21:59.830 --> 00:22:02.440
as a burden, but as a guide to holiness
494
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.390
and intimacy with God.
495
00:22:04.390 --> 00:22:07.600
In this five part series, you will discover:
496
00:22:07.600 --> 00:22:11.230
How the Torah still applies to mankind today -
497
00:22:11.230 --> 00:22:15.340
How Jesus fulfills the law rather than replaces it -
498
00:22:15.340 --> 00:22:19.570
The danger of violating God's design - Why it's important
499
00:22:19.570 --> 00:22:23.170

Hey, this is Rick Renner
516
00:23:18.070 --> 00:23:20.560
and I'm standing inside the Partner Care
517
00:23:20.560 --> 00:23:22.060
department of our ministry.
518
00:23:22.060 --> 00:23:24.190
And this is where the action takes place.
519
00:23:24.190 --> 00:23:26.170
Thousands of phone calls every day
520
00:23:26.170 --> 00:23:29.230
and every month come into
this place from people
521
00:23:29.230 --> 00:23:30.430
reaching out to us.
522
00:23:30.430 --> 00:23:33.160
And this is my precious
mother who is in heaven
523
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:35.560
and she established this
part of the ministry.
524
00:23:35.560 --> 00:23:38.050
But these are the principles we are dedicated
525
00:23:38.050 --> 00:23:38.883
to.
526
00:23:38.883 --> 00:23:41.958
To feed the entire flock God has brought to this ministry.
527
00:23:41.958 --> 00:23:44.260
To strengthen those who are diseased in any area
528
00:23:44.260 --> 00:23:46.490
of their lives. To bring healing to those in need
529
00:23:46.490 --> 00:23:49.190
of any type of healing. To bind up those
530
00:23:49.190 --> 00:23:51.470
who are broken in any area of their lives.
531
00:23:51.470 --> 00:23:53.450
To bring back those that have been driven away.
532
00:23:53.450 --> 00:23:55.880
To reach the lost, and to take the gospel
533
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:58.130
and the trusted teaching of the Bible to the ends
534
00:23:58.130 --> 00:24:01.220
of the earth. To shepherd the flock that God has caused
535
00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:03.260
to hear the voice of this ministry
536
00:24:03.260 --> 00:24:05.900
and to help them grow in their relationship with Christ
537
00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:08.780
and become powerful Bible-based believers equipped
538
00:24:08.780 --> 00:24:10.250
for these last days.
539
00:24:10.250 --> 00:24:11.570
And - To thank and minister
540
00:24:11.570 --> 00:24:14.690
to partners whose sacrificial gifts have enabled this
541
00:24:14.690 --> 00:24:17.600
ministry to fulfill its call around the world.
542
00:24:17.600 --> 00:24:20.960
And we are very committed
to these principles.
543
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:23.030
And if you're a partner,
you know we're very
544
00:24:23.030 --> 00:24:24.800
serious about that.
545
00:24:24.800 --> 00:24:28.190
But hey, right now we're trying to pay off this facility
546
00:24:28.190 --> 00:24:31.520
and those who are part of the Ministry Expansion Project are
547
00:24:31.520 --> 00:24:32.840
helping us to do that.
548
00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:35.300
And if you're a part already, thank you.
549
00:24:35.300 --> 00:24:38.390
But if you're not part of that Giving Team yet, we need you.
550
00:24:38.390 --> 00:24:39.890
So would you please become a part
551
00:24:39.890 --> 00:24:42.500
of the Ministry Expansion Giving Team
552
00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:44.750
so we can pay off this facility
553
00:24:44.750 --> 00:24:49.100
and then keep taking the gospel to the ends of the earth
554
00:24:49.100 --> 00:24:51.950
where people really are crying out for someone
555
00:24:51.950 --> 00:24:55.220
to bring them trusted teaching of the Bible.
556
00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:57.830
And that's us, that's our call
557
00:24:57.830 --> 00:25:00.560
and my friends together, we can do this.
558
00:25:00.560 --> 00:25:03.470
And I want to say thank you so much.
559
00:25:13.130 --> 00:25:15.920
Well, I don't know about you,
but I have really enjoyed this
560
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.820
time today with Rabbi
Schneider and my friends.
561
00:25:19.820 --> 00:25:21.560
I want you to be sure to join me tomorrow
562
00:25:21.560 --> 00:25:23.750
because we're gonna pick
up here and continue.
563
00:25:23.750 --> 00:25:26.660
And he's going to be with
me every day this week.
564
00:25:26.660 --> 00:25:29.300
And please remember that
if you have any kind
565
00:25:29.300 --> 00:25:33.020
of a prayer need, we are
here to pray for you.
566
00:25:33.020 --> 00:25:35.720
Just call the number that is on the screen
567
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:36.860
or send us an email
568
00:25:36.860 --> 00:25:39.680
and the moment we hear from
you, we're really going
569
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:41.210
to pray for you.
570
00:25:41.210 --> 00:25:42.920
But please order the whole series of
571
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:45.530
what we're teaching this week, me and Rabbi.
572
00:25:45.530 --> 00:25:47.570
It's called Decoding the Torah.
573
00:25:47.570 --> 00:25:49.100
It comes with a study guide
574
00:25:49.100 --> 00:25:51.860
and we're also offering
you his wonderful book.
575
00:25:51.860 --> 00:25:53.570
When I got this book, he was like,
576
00:25:53.570 --> 00:25:55.400
fireworks went off on the inside of me.
577
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:56.660
I was so excited.
578
00:25:56.660 --> 00:26:00.710
And I know this book is going
to be a blessing to you,
579
00:26:00.710 --> 00:26:02.900
but it's called, Decoding the Torah,
580
00:26:02.900 --> 00:26:06.290
Applying Ancient Wisdom in a Modern Way.
581
00:26:06.290 --> 00:26:10.580
And in this book, he takes 100 of the laws from the Torah
582
00:26:10.580 --> 00:26:13.790
and provides for them a Christian context.
583
00:26:13.790 --> 00:26:16.220
It is just tremendous.
584
00:26:16.220 --> 00:26:19.370
But you can order all these
things by going online
585
00:26:19.370 --> 00:26:22.040
or you can just give us a call.
586
00:26:22.040 --> 00:26:25.160
But thank you again for being
with me and Rabbi today.
587
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:26.930
Remember, he's gonna
be here again tomorrow,
588
00:26:26.930 --> 00:26:28.850
but I wanna pray for you right now.
589
00:26:28.850 --> 00:26:32.540
Father, I pray that you would
give us wisdom to know how
590
00:26:32.540 --> 00:26:36.380
to apply what we have
learned in today's program.
591
00:26:36.380 --> 00:26:38.090
I thank you for Rabbi Schneider.
592
00:26:38.090 --> 00:26:39.860
I thank you for his ministry
593
00:26:39.860 --> 00:26:42.050
and I thank you that he is with me
594
00:26:42.050 --> 00:26:45.240
and with all of my friends
today and every day this week.
595
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:49.080
I thank you for this in
the powerful name of Jesus.
596
00:26:50.520 --> 00:26:54.660
Amen. Well, I'm gonna be
back tomorrow with Rabbi,
597
00:26:54.660 --> 00:26:57.660
but until then, I want you to never forget
598
00:26:57.660 --> 00:27:00.330
what Ecclesiastes 8:4 says.
599
00:27:00.330 --> 00:27:04.410
It declares, "Where the word of a king is, there's power."
600
00:27:04.410 --> 00:27:07.260
God's word has power in your life.
601
00:27:07.260 --> 00:27:10.860
So lay hold of it,
believe it and declare it,
602
00:27:10.860 --> 00:27:13.830
and I'll see you in the next program.
603
00:27:13.830 --> 00:27:16.110
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
604
00:27:16.110 --> 00:27:20.490
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
605
00:27:20.490 --> 00:27:22.650
Jesus has to give you.
606
00:27:22.650 --> 00:27:26.730
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
607
00:27:26.730 --> 00:27:30.750
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
608
00:27:30.750 --> 00:27:33.720
and Lord. Wash away my sin
609
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:36.720
and make me completely new.
610
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.560
I thank you that my sin is removed
611
00:27:40.560 --> 00:27:45.560
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
612
00:27:46.050 --> 00:27:50.040
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
613
00:27:50.040 --> 00:27:51.720
for the rest of my life.
614
00:27:52.620 --> 00:27:53.620
Amen.
615
00:27:55.140 --> 00:27:57.840
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
616
00:27:57.840 --> 00:27:59.880
would you please let us know by going
