00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:03.420
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.420 --> 00:00:06.660
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:09.810
Welcome to today's program, my friend.
4
00:00:09.810 --> 00:00:11.430
I'm so excited
5
00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:15.300
because today I have Rabbi Schneider with us
6
00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:18.990 line:15%
and we're going to be discussing Decoding the Torah.
7
00:00:18.990 --> 00:00:22.080 line:15%
It's 5-parts: comes with a great study guide,
8
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:24.660 line:15%
and we're gonna be offering
you Rabbi Schneider's book,
9
00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:27.300 line:15%
which is called, Decoding the Torah:
10
00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:30.210 line:15%
Applying Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World.
11
00:00:30.210 --> 00:00:31.770 line:15%
And the reason I'm excited is
12
00:00:31.770 --> 00:00:34.710 line:15%
because I have devoured this book
13
00:00:34.710 --> 00:00:36.450 line:15%
and it has really helped me,
14
00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:40.350 line:15%
and I believe it's going
to be a blessing to you.
15
00:00:40.350 --> 00:00:43.440 line:15%
Rabbi Schneider is a
very good friend of mine
16
00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:47.010
and I'm very honored that today he has taken the time to be
17
00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:48.750
with me on the program.
18
00:00:48.750 --> 00:00:50.190 line:15%
He has his own program,
19
00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:52.530 line:15%
which is called, Discovering the Jewish Jesus.
20
00:00:52.530 --> 00:00:54.600 line:15%
If you don't know it,
you ought to look it up
21
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.400 line:15%
because it's worth watching.
22
00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:59.280 line:15%
But today we're gonna
have Rabbi Schneider here.
23
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.010 line:15%
And not just today, but every
day this week, it's going
24
00:01:02.010 --> 00:01:03.540
to be wonderful.
25
00:01:03.540 --> 00:01:06.330
So let's get started.
26
00:01:06.330 --> 00:01:09.600
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
27
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:12.360
and your mind, where the word is
28
00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:15.120
the anchor in uncertain times
29
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.420
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
30
00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:19.860
We keep it simple,
31
00:01:19.860 --> 00:01:24.420
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
32
00:01:25.290 --> 00:01:27.180
a love that emboldens,
33
00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:30.480
and a mission that touches the world.
34
00:01:32.850 --> 00:01:34.320
Let's join Rick Renner.
35
00:01:36.660 --> 00:01:38.370
Welcome to today's program.
36
00:01:38.370 --> 00:01:41.220
My name is Rick Renner and friend,
37
00:01:41.220 --> 00:01:45.090
I am so excited about today's program
38
00:01:45.090 --> 00:01:46.740
because I have a guest.
39
00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:49.470
I have Rabbi Kirk Schneider with us.
40
00:01:49.470 --> 00:01:52.560
And I want to tell you how
I found Rabbi Schneider.
41
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:53.970
I've watched him for years.
42
00:01:53.970 --> 00:01:56.850
He has a wonderful TV
program called Discovering
43
00:01:56.850 --> 00:01:57.900
the Jewish Jesus.
44
00:01:57.900 --> 00:01:59.970
It's both radio and TV program.
45
00:01:59.970 --> 00:02:02.790
It goes around the world,
touches millions of people.
46
00:02:02.790 --> 00:02:06.900
And I've watched him for
years with great fascination.
47
00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:11.700 line:15%
But then our ministry obtained
a Russian speaking channel,
48
00:02:11.700 --> 00:02:14.760 line:15%
which broadcast into 83
nations of the world.
49
00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:18.060 line:15%
And Rabbi's program came with the channel.
50
00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:19.590 line:15%
So I began to really tune into him
51
00:02:19.590 --> 00:02:22.500
because I wanted to know
what was he really teaching.
52
00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:25.770
And wow, it was such a blessing to me.
53
00:02:25.770 --> 00:02:29.220
I felt like I found a true
friend in the scripture.
54
00:02:29.220 --> 00:02:31.560
And over the past couple years, Rabbi Schneider
55
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.190
and I have really become very dear friends.
56
00:02:35.190 --> 00:02:37.050
Denise and I have been in their home.
57
00:02:37.050 --> 00:02:39.120
We love Rabbi, we love Cynthia,
58
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:43.950 line:15%
and I am so excited that today Rabbi Schneider is with us.
59
00:02:43.950 --> 00:02:45.240
So I want you to welcome him.
60
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.340
And Rabbi, I welcome you to the program,
61
00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:49.980 line:15%
Brother - True Peace between you
62
00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:51.660
and I, a fellow worker and the Lord.
63
00:02:51.660 --> 00:02:55.500
What a great, what a great evolution of our relationship
64
00:02:55.500 --> 00:02:58.830
and to be able to broadcast today through...
65
00:02:58.830 --> 00:02:59.890
all your outlets.
66
00:02:59.890 --> 00:03:01.840
And I just thank you for the honor, Rick.
67
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.520
Well, it's so good to be with you.
68
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.580
You know, Rabbi, my specialty
is New Testament Greek.
69
00:03:06.580 --> 00:03:09.310
And by the way, you are
really a whiz when it comes
70
00:03:09.310 --> 00:03:10.480
to New Testament doctrine.
71
00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:11.920
When I sit and watch your program
72
00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:15.760
and I regularly watch your
program, I'm amazed at
73
00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:18.070
how you handle New Testament scriptures,
74
00:03:18.070 --> 00:03:21.160
but you also have a
skill that I don't have,
75
00:03:21.160 --> 00:03:24.010
and that is your handling of
the Old Testament scriptures.
76
00:03:24.010 --> 00:03:26.260
And you refer a lot to the Hebrew.
77
00:03:26.260 --> 00:03:27.910
And the reason that I wanted you
78
00:03:27.910 --> 00:03:30.070
to be on my program this week is
79
00:03:30.070 --> 00:03:32.320
because of this amazing
book that you have written,
80
00:03:32.320 --> 00:03:35.080
which is called - Decoding of the Torah.
81
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.240
And when I was at your
home, you gave it to me.
82
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.360
And when you placed it in my hands,
83
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.940
it was like fireworks going
off on the inside of me.
84
00:03:42.940 --> 00:03:45.190
I was so excited to get this book
85
00:03:45.190 --> 00:03:47.890
and I immediately began to dive into it.
86
00:03:47.890 --> 00:03:50.500
And in the conclusion
of this book, you say
87
00:03:50.500 --> 00:03:54.790
that this book is like
God giving us divine keys
88
00:03:54.790 --> 00:03:57.730
to understand his wisdom,
his nature, his mercy,
89
00:03:57.730 --> 00:03:58.930
his justice,
90
00:03:58.930 --> 00:04:02.890
but I want to ask you, why is
it called, Decoding The Torah?
91
00:04:02.890 --> 00:04:05.260
And what is the Torah?
92
00:04:05.260 --> 00:04:07.960
Great question, Rick. Well,
many people don't understand
93
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:12.220 line:15%
that the word Torah
actually means instruction.
94
00:04:12.220 --> 00:04:14.080 line:15%
A lot of times people hear the word Torah
95
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:15.730 line:15%
and they just think law.
96
00:04:15.730 --> 00:04:18.520 line:15%
But the Torah is more than just the law.
97
00:04:18.520 --> 00:04:21.820 line:15%
The Torah is actually the first 5-books of our Bible:
98
00:04:21.820 --> 00:04:25.240 line:15%
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
99
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.970
And when we go to the book of Genesis, for example,
100
00:04:27.970 --> 00:04:31.450 line:15%
we find stories, biblical accounts of things that happened
101
00:04:31.450 --> 00:04:32.950 line:15%
before the law was given.
102
00:04:32.950 --> 00:04:36.550 line:15%
So example, part of the
Torah is Abraham's calling.
103
00:04:36.550 --> 00:04:38.860 line:15%
Abraham was before the law.
104
00:04:38.860 --> 00:04:40.330
But when we speak of the Torah,
105
00:04:40.330 --> 00:04:43.660
we're most particularly referring to the first 5-books
106
00:04:43.660 --> 00:04:45.370
of our Bible, the Old Testament,
107
00:04:45.370 --> 00:04:47.200
which is also referred to as the Pentateuch.
108
00:04:48.940 --> 00:04:51.550
Now, why is it important that we decode it?
109
00:04:52.570 --> 00:04:55.450
Well, this is something
110
00:04:55.450 --> 00:04:59.020
I wish I could convey in
words the depth of what I feel
111
00:04:59.020 --> 00:05:02.950
because I think the church
has so missed the gift
112
00:05:02.950 --> 00:05:06.100
that God has given his
people through the Torah
113
00:05:06.100 --> 00:05:09.490
for many reasons, including
an antisemitic theology
114
00:05:09.490 --> 00:05:13.480
that developed early, very early in the church. The Torah,
115
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.020
many Christians, many Christians, Rick think like this:
116
00:05:17.020 --> 00:05:18.880
we are not under the law anymore
117
00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:21.610
because Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law.
118
00:05:21.610 --> 00:05:23.380
That's a 100% correct.
119
00:05:23.380 --> 00:05:25.480
But the problem comes when we think that
120
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.080
because Jesus redeemed us from
the curse of the law, that
121
00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:31.510
therefore they think the
law is no longer relevant.
122
00:05:31.510 --> 00:05:33.460
That's where the mistake comes in.
123
00:05:33.460 --> 00:05:37.180
Because Jesus taught in Matthew 5, he said -
124
00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:39.430
Do not think I've come to abolish the law
125
00:05:39.430 --> 00:05:43.480
and the prophets for I've not
come to abolish but fulfill.
126
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.540
And he went on to say, everybody that forsakes the law
127
00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:49.090
and the prophets and teaches others to do
128
00:05:49.090 --> 00:05:53.380
so will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven.
129
00:05:53.380 --> 00:05:55.600
Now notice he's speaking about the Kingdom of Heaven.
130
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.280
This is about the the age that
we're in and the age to come.
131
00:05:58.280 --> 00:06:00.680
So he is speaking about
people that forsake the law
132
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.760
and the prophets not as those
that are legally under it,
133
00:06:04.760 --> 00:06:07.850
but as those that are
rejecting the self revelation
134
00:06:07.850 --> 00:06:10.970
of Jesus' God and Father,
which is in the law.
135
00:06:10.970 --> 00:06:12.650
Jesus taught those that forsake it
136
00:06:12.650 --> 00:06:13.670
and teach others to do
137
00:06:13.670 --> 00:06:16.400
so will be called least
in the Kingdom of Heaven.
138
00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:19.160
On the other end, he
said, those that keep it
139
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:20.597
and teach others how to do
140
00:06:20.597 --> 00:06:23.967
so would be called great once again in
141
00:06:23.967 --> 00:06:24.800
the Kingdom of Heaven.
142
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.500
So we are presently in the age of the Kingdom of Heaven.
143
00:06:27.500 --> 00:06:29.870
It's the age now, it's the age to come.
144
00:06:29.870 --> 00:06:32.810
Jesus' revelation, the heart
145
00:06:32.810 --> 00:06:36.110
of the Father's revelation, is in the Torah.
146
00:06:36.110 --> 00:06:39.080
Again, God's people
we're not under the law,
147
00:06:39.080 --> 00:06:41.450
but let's not forsake
the wisdom of the law
148
00:06:41.450 --> 00:06:46.450
because Paul taught that all
scripture is inspired by God
149
00:06:46.460 --> 00:06:49.490
and profitable for
teaching and for training
150
00:06:49.490 --> 00:06:51.320
and righteousness.
151
00:06:51.320 --> 00:06:53.000
Hmm. You know, it's interesting that scripture
152
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.990
because in 2 Timothy 3, he says to Timothy,
153
00:06:56.990 --> 00:07:00.350
from a child, you've known the holy scriptures.
154
00:07:00.350 --> 00:07:02.750
And you know, Rabbi, when you read that in the Greek text,
155
00:07:02.750 --> 00:07:04.310
that that word scripture,
156
00:07:04.310 --> 00:07:05.905
it's really not the word for a scripture.
157
00:07:05.905 --> 00:07:07.550
It's the word for every little jot,
158
00:07:07.550 --> 00:07:09.560
every little tittle in the text.
159
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.870
And it's the equivalent
of the saying, Timothy,
160
00:07:11.870 --> 00:07:14.990
you were taught from the,
from childhood, not just
161
00:07:14.990 --> 00:07:16.340
to love the scriptures,
162
00:07:16.340 --> 00:07:19.790
but to love every
letter, every little jot,
163
00:07:19.790 --> 00:07:22.070
to have a great reverence
for the scriptures
164
00:07:22.070 --> 00:07:24.140
and the scriptures that Paul is referring to
165
00:07:24.140 --> 00:07:27.920
there is the Old Testament - that is the Old Testament.
166
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:30.380
You hit the nail on the head.
167
00:07:30.380 --> 00:07:32.270
In fact, Paul also also wrote
168
00:07:32.270 --> 00:07:34.640
that the Hebrew scriptures
were not only written
169
00:07:34.640 --> 00:07:37.130
for the Israelites and the Jewish people,
170
00:07:37.130 --> 00:07:41.120
but Paul said they were written for us upon whom the end
171
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:42.980
of the ages has come.
172
00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:46.790
So I just wanna encourage everybody today you're gonna gain
173
00:07:46.790 --> 00:07:50.540
deep revelation in how to walk with God
174
00:07:50.540 --> 00:07:51.860
as you study the Torah.
175
00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:54.890
I feel like there's a lot of teaching from those
176
00:07:54.890 --> 00:07:56.270
that only know the New Testament
177
00:07:56.270 --> 00:08:00.080
and its beautiful, powerful, rich grace teaching.
178
00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:03.650
But when it comes to actually
knowing how to love God, how
179
00:08:03.650 --> 00:08:06.620
to love people, how to live a holy life,
180
00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:08.450
the Old Testament helps us
181
00:08:08.450 --> 00:08:11.690 line:15%
to walk out these great general principles that we feel that
182
00:08:11.690 --> 00:08:13.550 line:15%
that are revealed in the New Testament.
183
00:08:13.550 --> 00:08:17.780 line:15%
So when we study the Torah,
it teaches us how to walk
184
00:08:17.780 --> 00:08:22.010 line:15%
with God in the little details of our life: how to love God,
185
00:08:22.010 --> 00:08:26.150 line:15%
how to dress in a holy way,
how to eat in a holy way, how
186
00:08:26.150 --> 00:08:29.180
to reconcile conflicts in a holy way.
187
00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:31.070
There's so much instruction here
188
00:08:31.070 --> 00:08:34.130
and many of God's people
unfortunately, have not
189
00:08:34.130 --> 00:08:36.110
yet been exposed to it.
190
00:08:36.110 --> 00:08:39.630
Now there were 613 laws in the Torah,
191
00:08:39.630 --> 00:08:41.780
but in this book you cover 100.
192
00:08:41.780 --> 00:08:45.620
Why did you choose these particular 100 laws?
193
00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:48.380
Because I felt it was most easy
194
00:08:48.380 --> 00:08:49.910
as the first step forward
195
00:08:49.910 --> 00:08:53.030
to introduce these 1st hundred that I've selected.
196
00:08:53.030 --> 00:08:57.180
It was most easy to bring to the disciples
197
00:08:57.180 --> 00:08:58.290
of Jesus.
198
00:08:58.290 --> 00:09:00.690
I'm looking at the table of contents
199
00:09:00.690 --> 00:09:03.150
and Rabbi, what is here is just amazing.
200
00:09:03.150 --> 00:09:07.080
It is amazing. I wish everybody had a copy of this book.
201
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.870
And when I begin to read through this book,
202
00:09:09.870 --> 00:09:12.270 line:15%
I found not only is it law
from the Old Testament,
203
00:09:12.270 --> 00:09:14.520
it has great application to my life
204
00:09:14.520 --> 00:09:16.560
as a New Testament Christian.
205
00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:21.180
And one law that really
fascinated me was on page 81,
206
00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:26.180 line:15%
which is - The law to build a sanctuary for God.
207
00:09:26.205 --> 00:09:29.648 line:15%
That is amazing. And I would like to read it
208
00:09:29.648 --> 00:09:31.532 line:15%
from your book, and it says this:
209
00:09:31.532 --> 00:09:33.090 line:15%
to build a sanctuary for God.
210
00:09:33.090 --> 00:09:36.030
And here is the scripture, it's Exodus 25:8.
211
00:09:36.030 --> 00:09:40.470
Let them construct a sanctuary for me that I may dwell
212
00:09:40.470 --> 00:09:44.010
among them. That is one of the laws of the Torah.
213
00:09:44.010 --> 00:09:46.980
But that is great application
for the New Testament.
214
00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:48.780
And I just wonder if you could comment on
215
00:09:48.780 --> 00:09:50.520
that particular law
216
00:09:50.520 --> 00:09:51.930
While this is so beautiful.
217
00:09:51.930 --> 00:09:55.020
What I really love that jumps off the page
218
00:09:55.020 --> 00:09:58.350
of the Hebrew scriptures is the word - dwell.
219
00:09:58.350 --> 00:10:00.450
The Lord said, build me a tabernacle.
220
00:10:00.450 --> 00:10:04.290
The Hebrew word there for tabernacle was called - mishkan.
221
00:10:04.290 --> 00:10:05.640
It's a dwelling place of God.
222
00:10:05.640 --> 00:10:08.940
And the Lord said to Moses I want you to build this mishkan,
223
00:10:08.940 --> 00:10:10.560
this tabernacle for me.
224
00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:14.340
And then he went on to say that I might dwell, Rick,
225
00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:15.630
with my people.
226
00:10:15.630 --> 00:10:17.310
So in the Hebrew scriptures, this is
227
00:10:17.310 --> 00:10:19.590
where God met his people.
228
00:10:19.590 --> 00:10:20.760
And it's fascinating
229
00:10:20.760 --> 00:10:25.760
'cause every single part of
the tabernacle was architected
230
00:10:25.890 --> 00:10:26.970
by God himself.
231
00:10:26.970 --> 00:10:29.040
In other words, the Israelites
didn't just get together
232
00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:31.740
and say, Hey listen, let's
build a house for God.
233
00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:32.910
And then they dreamed up
234
00:10:32.910 --> 00:10:35.070
what they thought would be really cool.
235
00:10:35.070 --> 00:10:38.160
Now, instead God said, I want
the fence to be this long.
236
00:10:38.160 --> 00:10:40.020
I want the fence to be this high.
237
00:10:40.020 --> 00:10:42.480
I want these pieces of
furniture to be in it.
238
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:46.140
I want it to be covered up in blue fabric.
239
00:10:46.140 --> 00:10:48.420
I want this to be overlaid with gold.
240
00:10:48.420 --> 00:10:52.650
God architected every piece of the tabernacle
241
00:10:52.650 --> 00:10:56.190
and every single piece of it means something.
242
00:10:56.190 --> 00:10:57.330
In fact, that's my next book
243
00:10:57.330 --> 00:11:00.240
that I'm working on right now is The Tabernacle
244
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.840
of Moses: A Pathway Into the Divine Presence.
245
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.140
So we don't..any longer, right,
246
00:11:08.190 --> 00:11:10.740
build physical tabernacles.
247
00:11:10.740 --> 00:11:12.930
But there's prophetic
application for us today.
248
00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:16.590
You know, I've been doing a study on 1 Peter;
249
00:11:16.590 --> 00:11:18.810
I just did the RIV, which is the Renner Interpretive
250
00:11:18.810 --> 00:11:20.100
Version of 1 Peter.
251
00:11:20.100 --> 00:11:22.980
And when you come to 1 Peter 2:
252
00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:25.260
and verse 5, it says - He also
253
00:11:25.260 --> 00:11:29.130
as lively stones are built up a spiritual house,
254
00:11:29.130 --> 00:11:30.150
a holy priesthood,
255
00:11:30.150 --> 00:11:32.730
to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable
256
00:11:32.730 --> 00:11:34.170
to God by Jesus Christ.
257
00:11:34.170 --> 00:11:36.840
And when I read this law in your book, Decoding the Torah,
258
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:39.090
I thought about this verse: by the time
259
00:11:39.090 --> 00:11:40.470
that Peter wrote his epistle,
260
00:11:40.470 --> 00:11:43.500
most scholars believe the temple in Jerusalem
261
00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:45.270
had already been destroyed.
262
00:11:45.270 --> 00:11:48.540
It was gone. And so now Peter was basically saying
263
00:11:48.540 --> 00:11:51.810 line:15%
Hey friends, the old temple is gone,
264
00:11:51.810 --> 00:11:54.460 line:15%
but God still wants to dwell among his people.
265
00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:56.860 line:15%
And so now God has built him a new house
266
00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:59.230 line:15%
and the new house is made up of living stones.
267
00:11:59.230 --> 00:12:01.360 line:15%
And of course that's me, that's you, that's everybody
268
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.010 line:15%
that calls on the name of the Lord.
269
00:12:03.010 --> 00:12:06.370 line:15%
We are part of the building
materials that God is using
270
00:12:06.370 --> 00:12:08.890 line:15%
to construct a new temple.
271
00:12:08.890 --> 00:12:11.920
Something else that amazed me Rabbi is in the New Testament;
272
00:12:11.920 --> 00:12:15.010
there are 3-metaphors for the church:
273
00:12:15.010 --> 00:12:18.190
One is the body of Christ. Everybody talks about that one.
274
00:12:18.190 --> 00:12:20.050
The second one is a vineyard,
275
00:12:20.050 --> 00:12:21.760
but the No.1 metaphor
276
00:12:21.760 --> 00:12:24.940
of the church in the entire New Testament: I went
277
00:12:24.940 --> 00:12:26.980
through it, I counted, I even wrote a book about
278
00:12:26.980 --> 00:12:29.050
it - is a temple.
279
00:12:29.050 --> 00:12:31.570
God is building a temple.
280
00:12:31.570 --> 00:12:34.930
And the church is to be, according to Ephesians 2,
281
00:12:34.930 --> 00:12:38.620
a habitation for God and for his spirit.
282
00:12:38.620 --> 00:12:41.050
So God is still wanting to build a habitation
283
00:12:41.050 --> 00:12:42.070
among his people.
284
00:12:43.030 --> 00:12:46.300
Amen. And I really love the focus on this: the temple,
285
00:12:46.300 --> 00:12:48.310
the temple, the sacrifices
286
00:12:48.310 --> 00:12:50.860
and the priesthood - such specific guidelines
287
00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:54.160
and instructions the Lord
gave us in the Torah.
288
00:12:54.160 --> 00:12:57.520
So when we study the instructions in the law
289
00:12:57.520 --> 00:13:00.580
regarding the tabernacle, which later became the temple,
290
00:13:00.580 --> 00:13:04.030
many of our viewers know
that in the wilderness,
291
00:13:04.030 --> 00:13:05.440
God gave Israel the instructions
292
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.170
to build the tabernacle called the mishkan.
293
00:13:08.170 --> 00:13:11.890
And once they entered the promised land, once they entered
294
00:13:11.890 --> 00:13:14.685
Israel, then what they did is they converted
295
00:13:14.685 --> 00:13:17.800
the temporary tabernacle into the permanent
296
00:13:17.800 --> 00:13:20.440
structure called the temple.
297
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.060
But the temple was built
298
00:13:22.060 --> 00:13:25.240
after a pattern of the tabernacle.
299
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:29.140
The point is that these guidelines of temple worship,
300
00:13:29.140 --> 00:13:33.460
of the priesthood, of the tabernacle, very, very specific
301
00:13:33.460 --> 00:13:36.040
and knowing as you just said, Rick, that now we
302
00:13:36.040 --> 00:13:40.120
as God's people are the temple, we are his priest on earth.
303
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:44.110
We need to take seriously
the laws in the Torah
304
00:13:44.110 --> 00:13:45.700
that govern the priesthood
305
00:13:45.700 --> 00:13:47.530
and that governed the worship
306
00:13:47.530 --> 00:13:49.390
that took place in the tabernacle
307
00:13:49.390 --> 00:13:52.870
because there was great separation that was involved here.
308
00:13:52.870 --> 00:13:56.290
In other words, the priest that functioned in the tabernacle
309
00:13:56.290 --> 00:13:58.990
and then the temple, they were guided by very,
310
00:13:58.990 --> 00:14:02.140
very specific instructions: the way they lived,
311
00:14:02.140 --> 00:14:03.370
the way they dressed.
312
00:14:03.370 --> 00:14:04.480
And we today,
313
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.300
as God's people, can learn a great deal from this
314
00:14:07.300 --> 00:14:09.970
because unfortunately we live in kind of a culture,
315
00:14:09.970 --> 00:14:13.300
what I like to call - greasy grace and sloppy agape.
316
00:14:13.300 --> 00:14:16.480
We don't really know how to live holy, how
317
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.340
to live separate lives.
318
00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:22.000
And so just very, very basically here, just as a big,
319
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.950
just a prophetic leap here,
320
00:14:23.950 --> 00:14:26.980
but knowing that the Lord told Israel to build this mishkan,
321
00:14:26.980 --> 00:14:31.180
this tabernacle, for the purpose of dwelling among them,
322
00:14:31.180 --> 00:14:32.830
that's exactly what the Lord said,
323
00:14:32.830 --> 00:14:34.720
that I might dwell among you.
324
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:37.720
We ask ourself, well is
there something that we
325
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.710
as God's priest today need
to build as his temple
326
00:14:41.710 --> 00:14:44.650
as you said, that he can dwell with us.
327
00:14:44.650 --> 00:14:47.170
And there is. Jesus said, Yeshua
328
00:14:47.170 --> 00:14:52.160
of Nazareth said in the Gospel of John 14:23,
329
00:14:52.160 --> 00:14:56.810
he said this - If anyone loves me, he will keep my word
330
00:14:56.810 --> 00:14:59.210
and my father will love him - and get this now -
331
00:14:59.210 --> 00:15:02.240
and we will come to him
332
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.870
and make our abode with him
333
00:15:05.870 --> 00:15:06.870
Abode.
334
00:15:06.870 --> 00:15:09.170
dwelling, abode.
335
00:15:09.170 --> 00:15:13.580
And so we kind of have this
concept that we don't have
336
00:15:13.580 --> 00:15:16.040
to do anything to
experience God's presence.
337
00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:17.600
It's all just a free gift of grace,
338
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:21.320
which it 100% is a free gift of grace.
339
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.620
But remember James said in James 4:8 - Draw near
340
00:15:24.620 --> 00:15:26.330
to God
341
00:15:26.330 --> 00:15:29.390
and he will draw near to
the Lord wants his presence
342
00:15:29.390 --> 00:15:31.970
to be able to rest upon our soul,
343
00:15:31.970 --> 00:15:34.160
but he can only rest upon our soul.
344
00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:35.330
He can only dwell
345
00:15:35.330 --> 00:15:38.510
with us when we're walking
in alignment with him.
346
00:15:38.510 --> 00:15:42.200
And the laws of the Torah
help us have insight how to do
347
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:46.010
that. Again, not as those that are legally under the law,
348
00:15:46.010 --> 00:15:49.700
but as those that see the prophetic application for, in it
349
00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:51.410
for our lives today.
350
00:15:51.410 --> 00:15:53.660
Well, I have to tell you that when I read this,
351
00:15:53.660 --> 00:15:55.670
it just stunned me the way that you were able
352
00:15:55.670 --> 00:15:57.680
to take Old Testament laws
353
00:15:57.680 --> 00:16:00.770
and give it application for my life.
354
00:16:00.770 --> 00:16:03.950
And when you say that they are divine keys,
355
00:16:03.950 --> 00:16:06.260
I could see they really are divine keys.
356
00:16:06.260 --> 00:16:08.030
And I was kind of ashamed
357
00:16:08.030 --> 00:16:10.130
that I hadn't spent more time studying it.
358
00:16:10.130 --> 00:16:13.010
But another law that you discuss, which I'd like to refer
359
00:16:13.010 --> 00:16:16.070 line:15%
to, is the command for the priests
360
00:16:16.070 --> 00:16:17.720 line:15%
to take care of their appearance.
361
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:20.840 line:15%
Now, you were talking about rules for conduct
362
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:21.980 line:15%
inside the house of God.
363
00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:23.780 line:15%
Well here you have the
command for the priest
364
00:16:23.780 --> 00:16:25.190 line:15%
to take care of their appearance.
365
00:16:25.190 --> 00:16:28.580 line:15%
And the scripture is Leviticus 10:6,
366
00:16:28.580 --> 00:16:31.846
which says - Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons:
367
00:16:31.846 --> 00:16:32.679
Eleazar
368
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:35.930
and Ithamar - Do not uncover your heads
369
00:16:35.930 --> 00:16:38.285
nor tear your clothes.
370
00:16:38.285 --> 00:16:40.550
Would you please comment on that?
371
00:16:40.550 --> 00:16:42.590
Well, the original historical context
372
00:16:42.590 --> 00:16:44.150
of this is very interesting
373
00:16:44.150 --> 00:16:47.540
because the original context was - immediately
374
00:16:47.540 --> 00:16:50.205
after God judged Nadab
375
00:16:50.205 --> 00:16:53.060
and Abihu for offering up strange incense
376
00:16:53.060 --> 00:16:54.710
and fire to him,
377
00:16:54.710 --> 00:16:58.340
the Lord told his priest not to uncover their heads
378
00:16:58.340 --> 00:16:59.540
or tear their clothes.
379
00:16:59.540 --> 00:17:03.710
And the reason was God
did not want his priest
380
00:17:03.710 --> 00:17:05.600
to mourn their deaths
381
00:17:05.600 --> 00:17:09.620
because the priest needed to stand in solidarity
382
00:17:09.620 --> 00:17:11.210
with God's judgment.
383
00:17:11.210 --> 00:17:13.760
So if God would've struck Nadab & Abihu
384
00:17:13.760 --> 00:17:16.130
and then the priest would've
been tearing out their hair
385
00:17:16.130 --> 00:17:18.320
and tearing their clothes: Oh my gosh what's happened here?
386
00:17:18.320 --> 00:17:20.240
What has God done? Why'd you do that?
387
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:24.020
It would've separated God's
people from trusting in his
388
00:17:24.020 --> 00:17:25.370
righteous judgment.
389
00:17:25.370 --> 00:17:29.270
And so Nadab & Abihu had to maintain a dignified
390
00:17:29.270 --> 00:17:30.920
and holy appearance
391
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:35.000
before his people. The rabbis, this is really interesting
392
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:38.360
Rick: the Rabbis derive from this law.
393
00:17:38.360 --> 00:17:41.750
You know, Judaism is a religion of great study.
394
00:17:41.750 --> 00:17:45.050
I mean, Jewish, religious Jewish people have gone over these
395
00:17:45.050 --> 00:17:47.750
laws for thousands of years trying
396
00:17:47.750 --> 00:17:51.420
to extract the minute detail of application.
397
00:17:51.420 --> 00:17:54.030
And so the Rabbis concluded from this law, one
398
00:17:54.030 --> 00:17:57.540
of the principles is to
take care of our appearance.
399
00:17:57.540 --> 00:17:59.460
That is that the priest need
400
00:17:59.460 --> 00:18:01.020
to take care of their appearance.
401
00:18:01.020 --> 00:18:04.770
And the concept here again,
is that if the priest walk
402
00:18:04.770 --> 00:18:07.020
around with their hair all disheveled,
403
00:18:07.020 --> 00:18:08.430
they don't take care of - you know -
404
00:18:08.430 --> 00:18:10.170
they don't wash themselves,
405
00:18:10.170 --> 00:18:14.040
they don't present themselves
in a way that appears
406
00:18:14.040 --> 00:18:15.930
as if they're healthy,
407
00:18:15.930 --> 00:18:18.600
it's gonna cause God's people to doubt.
408
00:18:19.620 --> 00:18:23.040
And so for us today, we need to recognize
409
00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:27.780
that we are God's visible representatives in the earth.
410
00:18:27.780 --> 00:18:31.380
Just like the priest in Nadab & Abihu day were visible
411
00:18:31.380 --> 00:18:34.140
representatives and had to represent themselves
412
00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:37.470
before the people in a way that inspired faith in God
413
00:18:37.470 --> 00:18:38.940
and allegiance to God,
414
00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:42.600
we as God's people need to think about how are we dressing
415
00:18:42.600 --> 00:18:44.790
and as the way that we're
taking care of ourselves
416
00:18:44.790 --> 00:18:46.440
with our grooming and everything else.
417
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:49.245
Is it inspiring faith in God's people?
418
00:18:49.245 --> 00:18:52.740
Or are we walking around looking like a slump defeated?
419
00:18:52.740 --> 00:18:54.930
And it's actually making people think - Well, if
420
00:18:54.930 --> 00:18:56.400
that person knows God,
421
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:57.870
why do they not take care of themselves?
422
00:18:57.870 --> 00:18:59.280
Why do they not wash their hair?
423
00:18:59.280 --> 00:19:01.170
Why do they not tuck in their clothes?
424
00:19:01.170 --> 00:19:03.330
Why do they not dress in a more -
425
00:19:04.470 --> 00:19:06.930
well balanced way with grooming?
426
00:19:07.950 --> 00:19:09.960 line:15%
You know, I feel like this
point is so very important.
427
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:11.670 line:15%
I'd like to pick up on
it on the next program
428
00:19:11.670 --> 00:19:14.290 line:15%
because I think we have
a lot to say about this.
429
00:19:14.290 --> 00:19:16.800 line:15%
But I'm personally very disturbed by
430
00:19:16.800 --> 00:19:19.590 line:15%
how today preachers dress. You know,
431
00:19:19.590 --> 00:19:20.640 line:15%
I see them in the pulpit.
432
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.350 line:15%
They're wearing shorts,
they're wearing tennis shoes,
433
00:19:22.350 --> 00:19:24.270 line:15%
they have jeans that are torn
434
00:19:24.270 --> 00:19:26.640 line:15%
and that may be fashionable right now.
435
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.100 line:15%
But you know the word, preach, the Greek word, kerux,
436
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:32.010 line:15%
is the word which described the official
437
00:19:32.010 --> 00:19:33.630 line:15%
spokesman of a king.
438
00:19:33.630 --> 00:19:35.520 line:15%
And to be the official spokesman
439
00:19:35.520 --> 00:19:37.680 line:15%
of a king required several things.
440
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:39.660 line:15%
You had to be cultured, you had to know
441
00:19:39.660 --> 00:19:40.680
how to speak to people.
442
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:43.410 line:15%
You had to know how you
were not to speak to people.
443
00:19:43.410 --> 00:19:46.440 line:15%
You had to be careful to really represent
444
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.720
what the king had told you to say.
445
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.050
And it required that
you dressed in a fashion
446
00:19:52.050 --> 00:19:55.050
to represent the splendor of the king.
447
00:19:55.050 --> 00:19:58.590
And sometimes I think we've
so dressed down the gospel
448
00:19:58.590 --> 00:20:02.610
and so dressed down the pulpit
that it's not respectable -
449
00:20:02.610 --> 00:20:04.350
it's just not respectable.
450
00:20:04.350 --> 00:20:07.350
And sometimes when I see guys
dressed in their tennis shoes
451
00:20:07.350 --> 00:20:09.750
and their jeans that are all torn,
452
00:20:09.750 --> 00:20:13.680
I always wonder if they went
to the bank to get a loan,
453
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:15.180
would they go dressed like that
454
00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:17.820 line:15%
or would they put on their finest suit?
455
00:20:17.820 --> 00:20:20.130 line:15%
And we need to understand we are
456
00:20:20.130 --> 00:20:22.230 line:15%
representatives of the Lord.
457
00:20:22.230 --> 00:20:24.030 line:15%
And I love this command
458
00:20:24.030 --> 00:20:26.940 line:15%
because God is really very concerned about
459
00:20:26.940 --> 00:20:29.880 line:15%
how we look when we represent him.
460
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:30.960 line:15%
And I wanna say thank you
461
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:32.880 line:15%
for writing about this particular
462
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:35.070 line:15%
law, but we're out of time.
463
00:20:35.070 --> 00:20:37.080
But I'll be back in just a moment.
464
00:20:37.080 --> 00:20:38.850
And tomorrow we're gonna be back here
465
00:20:38.850 --> 00:20:40.440
with Rabbi Schneider again.
466
00:20:48.820 --> 00:20:51.640 line:15%
Does it matter what church
you give your tithe to?
467
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:54.310 line:15%
Well, the Bible's pretty clear in Malachi 3 -
468
00:20:54.310 --> 00:20:57.820 line:15%
that you're to bring all the
tithe into the storehouse.
469
00:20:57.820 --> 00:21:00.970 line:15%
The storehouse is generally
understood to be that place
470
00:21:00.970 --> 00:21:03.190 line:15%
where you regularly feed
471
00:21:03.190 --> 00:21:05.620
and where you are spiritually nurtured.
472
00:21:05.620 --> 00:21:07.720
So that should be your home church.
473
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:09.970
Now that doesn't mean that
you can't give to other places
474
00:21:09.970 --> 00:21:13.600
as well: you can, but those should be offerings.
475
00:21:13.600 --> 00:21:15.550
But the tithe belongs to your church
476
00:21:15.550 --> 00:21:20.200
or to the place where you are
most regularly fed the word
477
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:23.410
of God, the storehouse that you live your life out
478
00:21:23.410 --> 00:21:25.210 line:15%
of spiritually.
479
00:21:25.210 --> 00:21:27.100
I give to our church
480
00:21:27.100 --> 00:21:30.520
because our church is where our spiritual life is.
481
00:21:30.520 --> 00:21:33.400
And I believe that that's where the tithes should be given.
482
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.450
So wherever the storehouse is, whoever's feeding you, that's
483
00:21:37.450 --> 00:21:39.760
where you need to be giving your tithe.
484
00:21:39.760 --> 00:21:42.550
And the scripture is very clear that if we give our tithe,
485
00:21:42.550 --> 00:21:44.620
God will open the windows of heaven
486
00:21:44.620 --> 00:21:47.260
and he'll pour a blessing
out into our lives.
487
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.000 line:15%

and how wonderful that now we have two little studios: one
515
00:23:22.180 --> 00:23:26.350 line:15%
for her and one for me where we can interview guests
516
00:23:26.350 --> 00:23:27.760 line:15%
who can't come all the way to Russia
517
00:23:27.760 --> 00:23:29.710 line:15%
to be interviewed in our studio there.
518
00:23:29.710 --> 00:23:31.660 line:15%
So when we're in the United States,
519
00:23:31.660 --> 00:23:33.400 line:15%
we can interview them here.
520
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.090 line:15%
And that's what we've been doing all week in this wonderful
521
00:23:37.090 --> 00:23:40.810
facility which God gave us in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
522
00:23:40.810 --> 00:23:43.270
We're so grateful for this building,
523
00:23:43.270 --> 00:23:44.930
it was really a gift from the Lord
524
00:23:44.930 --> 00:23:47.000
and it's almost paid for.
525
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:51.650 line:15%
We've already retired 86% of the debt.
526
00:23:51.650 --> 00:23:53.840 line:15%
We just need to go a
little ways to finish this.
527
00:23:53.840 --> 00:23:57.020 line:15%
We call it the Ministry Expansion Project
528
00:23:57.020 --> 00:23:59.390
because when this is finished, it's going
529
00:23:59.390 --> 00:24:02.870 line:15%
to allow the ministry to really expand financially,
530
00:24:02.870 --> 00:24:05.270 line:15%
to wrap our arms around the whole world
531
00:24:05.270 --> 00:24:08.630 line:15%
where people need the trusted
teaching of the Bible.
532
00:24:08.630 --> 00:24:10.790 line:15%
And we know that's our calling.
533
00:24:10.790 --> 00:24:12.950 line:15%
And if you're a part of the Giving Team, I want
534
00:24:12.950 --> 00:24:14.360 line:15%
to say "thank you" for helping us
535
00:24:14.360 --> 00:24:16.160 line:15%
to retire the dept on this facility
536
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:18.410 line:15%
and to release those finances.
537
00:24:18.410 --> 00:24:20.120 line:15%
And if you're not a part of the Giving Team yet,
538
00:24:20.120 --> 00:24:22.640 line:15%
I'm inviting you today to join us
539
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:25.550 line:15%
to help us finish this project.
540
00:24:25.550 --> 00:24:28.760 line:15%
Wow, what a shout of victory
we're gonna give to God on
541
00:24:28.760 --> 00:24:30.620 line:15%
that day when it's done.
542
00:24:30.620 --> 00:24:33.380 line:15%
And just think of the people
that are going to be reached.
543
00:24:33.380 --> 00:24:35.570 line:15%
So thank you for being a part
544
00:24:35.570 --> 00:24:37.490 line:15%
of the Ministry Expansion Project.
545
00:24:43.820 --> 00:24:46.610 line:15%
Well, I don't know about you,
but I have really enjoyed this
546
00:24:46.610 --> 00:24:50.540 line:15%
time today with Rabbi Schneider, and my friends,
547
00:24:50.540 --> 00:24:52.280 line:15%
I want you to be sure to join me tomorrow
548
00:24:52.280 --> 00:24:54.590 line:15%
because we're gonna pick
up here and continue.
549
00:24:54.590 --> 00:24:57.350 line:15%
And he's going to be with
me every day this week.
550
00:24:57.350 --> 00:25:00.020 line:15%
And please remember that
if you have any kind
551
00:25:00.020 --> 00:25:03.740 line:15%
of a prayer need, we are
here to pray for you.
552
00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:06.410 line:15%
Just call the number that is on the screen
553
00:25:06.410 --> 00:25:07.550 line:15%
or send us an email
554
00:25:07.550 --> 00:25:10.370 line:15%
and the moment we hear from
you, we're really going
555
00:25:10.370 --> 00:25:11.870 line:15%
to pray for you.
556
00:25:11.870 --> 00:25:13.610
But please order the whole series of
557
00:25:13.610 --> 00:25:16.220 line:15%
what we're teaching this week, me and Rabbi.
558
00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:19.820 line:15%
it's called, Decoding the Torah: comes with a study guide
559
00:25:19.820 --> 00:25:22.580 line:15%
and we're also offering you his wonderful book.
560
00:25:22.580 --> 00:25:24.950 line:15%
When I got this book, it was like fireworks
561
00:25:24.950 --> 00:25:26.120 line:15%
went off on the inside of me.
562
00:25:26.120 --> 00:25:27.350 line:15%
I was so excited.
563
00:25:27.350 --> 00:25:31.400 line:15%
And I know this book is going
to be a blessing to you;
564
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.590 line:15%
but it's called, Decoding The Torah:
565
00:25:33.590 --> 00:25:37.040 line:15%
Applying Ancient Wisdom in a Modern Way.
566
00:25:37.040 --> 00:25:41.270 line:15%
And in this book, he takes
100 of the laws from the Torah
567
00:25:41.270 --> 00:25:44.480 line:15%
and provides for them a Christian context.
568
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.910 line:15%
It is just tremendous.
569
00:25:46.910 --> 00:25:50.060 line:15%
But you can order all these
things by going online
570
00:25:50.060 --> 00:25:52.760 line:15%
or you can just give us a call.
571
00:25:52.760 --> 00:25:55.850 line:15%
But thank you again for being
with me and Rabbi today.
572
00:25:55.850 --> 00:25:57.650
Remember, he's gonna
be here again tomorrow,
573
00:25:57.650 --> 00:25:59.540
but I wanna pray for you right now.
574
00:25:59.540 --> 00:26:03.230 line:15%
Father, I pray that you would
give us wisdom to know how
575
00:26:03.230 --> 00:26:07.100 line:15%
to apply what we have
learned in today's program.
576
00:26:07.100 --> 00:26:08.780 line:15%
I thank you for Rabbi Schneider.
577
00:26:08.780 --> 00:26:10.580 line:15%
I thank you for his ministry
578
00:26:10.580 --> 00:26:12.770 line:15%
and I thank you that he is with me
579
00:26:12.770 --> 00:26:15.980 line:15%
and with all of my friends
today and every day this week.
580
00:26:15.980 --> 00:26:19.790 line:15%
I thank you for this in the powerful name of Jesus
581
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:25.370 line:15%
Amen. Well, I'm gonna be back tomorrow with Rabbi,
582
00:26:25.370 --> 00:26:28.370
but until then, I want you to never forget
583
00:26:28.370 --> 00:26:31.010
what Ecclesiastes 8:4 says.
584
00:26:31.010 --> 00:26:35.090
It declares - "Where the word of a king is, there's power."
585
00:26:35.090 --> 00:26:38.000
God's word has power in your life.
586
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.570
So lay hold of it,
believe it and declare it,
587
00:26:41.570 --> 00:26:44.550
and I'll see you in the next program.
588
00:26:44.550 --> 00:26:46.800 line:15%
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
589
00:26:46.800 --> 00:26:51.180
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
590
00:26:51.180 --> 00:26:53.340
Jesus has to give you.
591
00:26:53.340 --> 00:26:57.420
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
592
00:26:57.420 --> 00:27:01.470
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
593
00:27:01.470 --> 00:27:04.410
and Lord. Wash away my sin
594
00:27:04.410 --> 00:27:07.440
and make me completely new.
595
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.250
I thank you that my sin is removed
596
00:27:11.250 --> 00:27:16.250
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
597
00:27:16.770 --> 00:27:20.760
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
598
00:27:20.760 --> 00:27:22.440
for the rest of my life.
599
00:27:23.340 --> 00:27:24.340
Amen.
600
00:27:25.830 --> 00:27:28.560
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
601
00:27:28.560 --> 00:27:30.600
would you please let us know by going

00:27:33.600 --> 00:27:35.280
We would love to connect with you.

This program was made possible by the giving
614
00:28:25.980 --> 00:28:29.040 line:15%
of the God called partners of Renner Ministries.
