3
00:00:07.350 --> 00:00:08.820
Welcome to today's program.
4
00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:10.920
This is Rick Renner and friends,
5
00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:14.160
today I have a special guest, Rabbi Schneider,
6
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:18.000
whose TV program is called
Discovering the Jewish Jesus.
7
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.240
I've been watching his
program for years and years
8
00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:22.860
and I love his program and he
9
00:00:22.860 --> 00:00:26.550
and his wife, Cynthia, have become very precious friends
10
00:00:26.550 --> 00:00:27.990
of me and Denise.
11
00:00:27.990 --> 00:00:30.540 line:15%
And today he's gonna be speaking to you,
12
00:00:30.540 --> 00:00:33.480 line:15%
Decoding the Torah - comes with a study guide
13
00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:35.490 line:15%
and we're also going to be offering you
14
00:00:35.490 --> 00:00:37.380 line:15%
and teaching from his book,
15
00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:39.510 line:15%
which is called, Decoding the Torah: a book
16
00:00:39.510 --> 00:00:41.610 line:15%
that I have read from cover to cover.
17
00:00:41.610 --> 00:00:44.040 line:15%
And the reason I'm offering it to you is
18
00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:46.470 line:15%
because I believe this book is going
19
00:00:46.470 --> 00:00:48.750 line:15%
to be a blessing to you.
20
00:00:48.750 --> 00:00:51.840 line:15%
It's going to open the
laws of the Torah to you
21
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.170 line:15%
and give it a Christian
context for your life.
22
00:00:55.170 --> 00:00:58.560 line:15%
It is just so rich and it is so good.
23
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.920 line:15%
Now I want you to stay with
me all the way to the end
24
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.370
of today's program, me and Rabbi Schneider as today
25
00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:10.020
he addresses, How Jesus Fulfilled the Law.
26
00:01:10.020 --> 00:01:13.200
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
27
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.800
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
28
00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:18.750
uncertain times
29
00:01:18.750 --> 00:01:22.050
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
30
00:01:22.050 --> 00:01:23.490
We keep it simple,
31
00:01:23.490 --> 00:01:28.050
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
32
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:30.540
a love that emboldens
33
00:01:31.980 --> 00:01:34.110
and a mission that touches the world.
34
00:01:36.450 --> 00:01:37.950
Let's join Rick Renner.
35
00:01:40.290 --> 00:01:41.700
Welcome to today's program.
36
00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:43.050
My name is Rick Renner
37
00:01:43.050 --> 00:01:45.870
and I've just been waiting
for the clock to strike
38
00:01:45.870 --> 00:01:49.680
so we could begin today's program with Rabbi Kirt Schneider.
39
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.620
And I'm so excited that he is with us.
40
00:01:52.620 --> 00:01:55.590
And I want to tell your friend
that I'm very serious about
41
00:01:55.590 --> 00:01:59.550
who I bring to you to
minister on my TV program
42
00:01:59.550 --> 00:02:01.500 line:15%
because this is very serious.
43
00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:04.770 line:15%
And Rabbi Schneider is
a serious man of God
44
00:02:04.770 --> 00:02:08.310 line:15%
and has such a firm grasp on scripture.
45
00:02:08.310 --> 00:02:10.530 line:15%
I regularly watch his program.
46
00:02:10.530 --> 00:02:14.130 line:15%
I say to my wife all the
time, Denise, listen to that.
47
00:02:14.130 --> 00:02:16.080
Did you hear what he just said?
48
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.620
My heart just leaps when I
listen to Rabbi's program,
49
00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:22.230
which is called, Discovering the Jewish Jesus.
50
00:02:22.230 --> 00:02:24.510
And if you've never seen
it, you need to find it
51
00:02:24.510 --> 00:02:27.180 line:15%
and it's a program that
you should tune into.
52
00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:30.750
But Rabbi, I wanna say
welcome to my program,
53
00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:32.620
Brother,
54
00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:35.580
thank you for being such an inspiration to me, to my wife.
55
00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:39.630
I love you and I'm very honored, truly blessed to be able
56
00:02:39.630 --> 00:02:40.920
to spend time with you
57
00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:44.190
before your audience around God's word.
58
00:02:44.190 --> 00:02:46.200
Well, when I was in your
home, Denise and I came
59
00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:48.060
and spent a couple days
with you and Cynthia
60
00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:49.710
and it was so wonderful
61
00:02:49.710 --> 00:02:52.020
and you gave me a copy
of your brand new book,
62
00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:54.120
which is called, Decoding the Torah.
63
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.160
And as I told you in the last episode,
64
00:02:56.160 --> 00:02:59.560
it was like fireworks just
ignited on the inside of me.
65
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.080
I could hardly wait to
get on the next airplane
66
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:03.880
so I could sit down and open this book
67
00:03:03.880 --> 00:03:05.740
and begin to take a look at it.
68
00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:07.630
It is just amazing.
69
00:03:07.630 --> 00:03:11.140
And you have done in this
book what I'm not able to do.
70
00:03:11.140 --> 00:03:14.680
You have taken 100 laws from the Torah.
71
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:18.460
There's 613 laws: you've taken a hundred of them
72
00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:22.480
and given them application
to my life as a Christian.
73
00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:25.990
And I wanna say thank you for
that. Thank you, thank you.
74
00:03:25.990 --> 00:03:27.430
And I know that you wanted
75
00:03:27.430 --> 00:03:31.060
to make a comment about John 1:16.
76
00:03:31.060 --> 00:03:33.220
And what you're gonna
say is very important.
77
00:03:33.220 --> 00:03:35.560
So Rabbi, let's go there.
78
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.950 line:15%
Thank you brother. It's really something
79
00:03:38.950 --> 00:03:40.450 line:15%
that God wants to heal.
80
00:03:40.450 --> 00:03:43.630 line:15%
And what I'm speaking of
is the fact that his people
81
00:03:43.630 --> 00:03:47.140 line:15%
are disconnected from the
Hebrew roots of their faith,
82
00:03:47.140 --> 00:03:49.150
including the law of God
83
00:03:49.150 --> 00:03:51.490
or the Torah, which means instruction.
84
00:03:51.490 --> 00:03:53.680
The Torah has got self revelation.
85
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:54.680 line:15%
So the
86
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.560 line:15%
word, Torah, means instruction.
87
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.990 line:15%
Yes, the word Torah means instruction.
88
00:03:58.990 --> 00:04:01.210 line:15%
That's why Paul said yes,
go ahead brother, please.
89
00:04:01.210 --> 00:04:02.860 line:15%
So if we read it, if we study it,
90
00:04:02.860 --> 00:04:05.050 line:15%
we're gonna receive instruction,
91
00:04:05.050 --> 00:04:07.960 line:15%
Brother more, more than we know.
92
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:09.970 line:15%
Okay - The Torah's got self revelation.
93
00:04:09.970 --> 00:04:12.010 line:15%
I'm telling you, I'm telling you,
94
00:04:12.010 --> 00:04:15.910
the Torah will will put something in you
95
00:04:15.910 --> 00:04:19.330
that you cannot get by just
reading the New Testament.
96
00:04:19.330 --> 00:04:22.300
That's why the New Testament begins in Matthew 1:1,
97
00:04:22.300 --> 00:04:24.040
by the Torah - quoting the Torah.
98
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.490
This is the genealogy of Jesus
Christ, the son of David,
99
00:04:27.490 --> 00:04:28.750
the son of Abraham.
100
00:04:28.750 --> 00:04:31.600
The very first verse in the New Testament, Matthew 1:
101
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.700
1, goes back to the Torah.
102
00:04:33.700 --> 00:04:36.340
Jesus is the continuation of the Torah.
103
00:04:36.340 --> 00:04:38.350
He's the fulfillment of the Torah,
104
00:04:38.350 --> 00:04:40.120
he's the embodiment of it.
105
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.790
And he said that those that study the Torah in Matthew 5,
106
00:04:42.790 --> 00:04:44.860
will be called great in the kingdom of God.
107
00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:47.710
But antisemitism, as I said yesterday,
108
00:04:47.710 --> 00:04:49.930
crept into the church very early.
109
00:04:49.930 --> 00:04:53.890
For example, in the 300's, Constantine
110
00:04:53.890 --> 00:04:56.500
who was the ruler of the Roman Empire,
111
00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:58.600
became an anti-Semite.
112
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.210
He declared Christianity the state religion
113
00:05:01.210 --> 00:05:02.470
in the Roman Empire.
114
00:05:02.470 --> 00:05:05.950
But because he was an anti-Semite, he purposely tried
115
00:05:05.950 --> 00:05:10.630
to separate what we call Christianity from the Jewish
116
00:05:10.630 --> 00:05:12.280
roots of Christianity.
117
00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:15.220
So he tried to outlaw, for
example, the celebration
118
00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:16.960
of certain Jewish holy days.
119
00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:19.660
And he really set the church on a path
120
00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:22.480
that led them away from the Torah.
121
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.670
And as a result of this, for hundreds
122
00:05:24.670 --> 00:05:28.150
and hundreds of years, well meaning Christians,
123
00:05:28.150 --> 00:05:30.760
sincere believers that are hungry for God,
124
00:05:30.760 --> 00:05:33.820
have not had an opportunity to learn the Torah
125
00:05:33.820 --> 00:05:36.850
and its applicability for their life today
126
00:05:36.850 --> 00:05:38.920
because of antisemitism.
127
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.350
To show you....how deep this goes, Rick, think
128
00:05:41.350 --> 00:05:43.120 line:15%
of the King James version of the Bible.
129
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:47.140 line:15%
A great, beautiful classic translation of the Bible,
130
00:05:47.140 --> 00:05:49.870 line:15%
possibly the most influential version
131
00:05:49.870 --> 00:05:52.270 line:15%
of the Bible worldwide that's ever been written.
132
00:05:52.270 --> 00:05:54.880
It's influenced so many people for so long.
133
00:05:54.880 --> 00:05:56.830
Listen the way the King James version
134
00:05:56.830 --> 00:06:00.770
of the Bible translates the Gospel of John
135
00:06:00.770 --> 00:06:04.280
1:16 and 17.
136
00:06:05.510 --> 00:06:07.880
And of his fullness of all we received
137
00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:11.720
and grace for grace for the law was given
138
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:13.340
by Moses,
139
00:06:13.340 --> 00:06:15.260
but - catch that word
140
00:06:15.260 --> 00:06:19.580
But - but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
141
00:06:19.580 --> 00:06:22.040
So we're gonna really pay attention now to, to figure out
142
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.320
what we're reading. Of his fullness
143
00:06:24.320 --> 00:06:27.020
we have all received and grace for grace.
144
00:06:27.020 --> 00:06:31.910
For the law was given by Moses, but grace
145
00:06:31.910 --> 00:06:35.960
and truth came by Jesus. The word,
146
00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:38.150
but, there sets up a contrast.
147
00:06:38.150 --> 00:06:40.310
It sounds like the law that came
148
00:06:40.310 --> 00:06:44.660
by Moses is opposite the grace that came
149
00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:46.130
to us through Jesus.
150
00:06:46.130 --> 00:06:48.620
It's kind of like, Rick, you
and I go to dinner together
151
00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:51.590
and we enjoy the food a lot,
152
00:06:51.590 --> 00:06:53.960
but it took like an hour for the food to get
153
00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:55.730
to our table after we ordered it.
154
00:06:55.730 --> 00:06:58.910
So the manager of the restaurant is making his rounds
155
00:06:58.910 --> 00:07:00.200
and he comes over to our table
156
00:07:00.200 --> 00:07:02.360
and says - How was the meal?
157
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.000
And you say to him,
well, the food was good,
158
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.730
but the service was poor.
159
00:07:07.730 --> 00:07:09.500
The - but - sets up a contrast.
160
00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:12.500
So it makes it sound when we read the King James Version,
161
00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:14.060
that the law that was given to us
162
00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:18.620
by Moses is opposite the
grace that came by Jesus.
163
00:07:18.620 --> 00:07:20.360
But for those of our audience today
164
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.360
that actually have a hardbound King James version
165
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.260
of the Bible, they'll read that verse in John 1:17,
166
00:07:27.260 --> 00:07:29.510
and they'll see that the word - but - is in
167
00:07:29.510 --> 00:07:31.670
italics. The reason, which means it was,
168
00:07:31.670 --> 00:07:33.530
It was added by the translators.
169
00:07:33.530 --> 00:07:35.240
Exactly. It was added by the translators.
170
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:36.920
You would know that better
than anybody in your,
171
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.020
in your discipline of Greek study.
172
00:07:39.020 --> 00:07:42.800
And so the translators, they
were trying to help us, but
173
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.830
because they had wrong theology going all the way back
174
00:07:45.830 --> 00:07:47.600
to this antisemitism
175
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.120
that I just illustrated coming from Constantine,
176
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.570
they thought the law was anti-grace.
177
00:07:53.570 --> 00:07:55.820
But let's look at what it really says.
178
00:07:55.820 --> 00:07:58.880
I'm gonna go to the New American standard 1995 version here:
179
00:07:58.880 --> 00:08:00.710
by the way, you can go to different versions
180
00:08:00.710 --> 00:08:03.140
and you'll see that what I'm saying is true in probably
181
00:08:03.140 --> 00:08:05.120
whatever version you're gonna read today.
182
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.210
'cause the King James translators actually corrected this
183
00:08:08.210 --> 00:08:10.730
mistake when they made the new King James version.
184
00:08:10.730 --> 00:08:12.440
So let me, let's just look at this for a second
185
00:08:12.440 --> 00:08:16.130
from the NA, from the NASB here - For of his fullness,
186
00:08:16.130 --> 00:08:21.130
we have all received and grace upon grace - how many graces?
187
00:08:21.320 --> 00:08:22.580
Two graces, right?
188
00:08:22.580 --> 00:08:25.760
Grace upon grace, for of his fullness,
189
00:08:25.760 --> 00:08:28.220
we've all received grace upon grace.
190
00:08:28.220 --> 00:08:30.530
One grace stacked on top of another.
191
00:08:30.530 --> 00:08:33.470
Then we continue in the 17th verse - For the law was given
192
00:08:33.470 --> 00:08:35.270
through Moses, grace
193
00:08:35.270 --> 00:08:40.100
and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
194
00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:42.560
So the point is - 2-graces.
195
00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:46.820
The 1st grace was the law; that was an elementary grace.
196
00:08:46.820 --> 00:08:49.100
It was a preparatory grace.
197
00:08:49.100 --> 00:08:51.440
It was the.....it was the foundation
198
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.200
that the fullness of
grace was placed upon.
199
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:57.510
And so law is not opposite grace,
200
00:08:57.510 --> 00:08:59.220
it was an elementary grace.
201
00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:01.170
It's both the, the fullness
202
00:09:01.170 --> 00:09:03.690
of Jesus was realized when he came
203
00:09:03.690 --> 00:09:06.840
and revealed to us - well - let me say it a different way.
204
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:11.840
The fullness of God's grace was realized through Jesus.
205
00:09:12.090 --> 00:09:14.700
But an elementary grace
had already broken into the
206
00:09:14.700 --> 00:09:16.230
world through the law.
207
00:09:16.230 --> 00:09:18.990
And so I just wanna help our
audience today understand
208
00:09:18.990 --> 00:09:21.570
that the law is not anti-grace.
209
00:09:21.570 --> 00:09:24.930
The laws a preliminary an administrative grace,
210
00:09:24.930 --> 00:09:27.450
and it teaches us how
211
00:09:27.450 --> 00:09:30.960
to walk out the earthy nitty gritty
212
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.790
details of our life.
213
00:09:32.790 --> 00:09:34.770
And that's I think, Rick,
where we left off last time
214
00:09:34.770 --> 00:09:37.080
as you were speaking
about the law concerning
215
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:40.410
how the priesthood during the
time of Moses were instructed
216
00:09:40.410 --> 00:09:42.360
to dress and how looking at
217
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.810
that law in the Torah has
application for us today.
218
00:09:45.810 --> 00:09:48.480
You know, if you think about
the world, when the law came,
219
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.150
when the Torah came, it was a pagan world.
220
00:09:51.150 --> 00:09:53.820
There were, it was a world of no rules.
221
00:09:53.820 --> 00:09:55.350
It was a world of chaos
222
00:09:55.350 --> 00:09:57.870
where every man did what he wanted to do.
223
00:09:57.870 --> 00:09:59.190
But when God began to speak
224
00:09:59.190 --> 00:10:03.270
and God began to provide
his law, his rules, it began
225
00:10:03.270 --> 00:10:04.590
to provide boundaries.
226
00:10:04.590 --> 00:10:09.000
It began to provide safety.
It was loving protection.
227
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.310
And it's wrong when people just "foo foo" the law
228
00:10:11.310 --> 00:10:12.960
and say, well, it's not important.
229
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:14.610
It was very important.
230
00:10:14.610 --> 00:10:17.250
And there's still so much
for us to gain from it.
231
00:10:17.250 --> 00:10:19.830
And I've gained so much
by reading your book,
232
00:10:19.830 --> 00:10:21.690
Decoding of The Torah.
233
00:10:21.690 --> 00:10:24.180
And I wanna go back to where
we left off yesterday, Rabbi,
234
00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:27.630
but thank you for sharing that
about grace on top of grace.
235
00:10:27.630 --> 00:10:29.910
That is really good.
And you've inspired me.
236
00:10:29.910 --> 00:10:31.830
I wanna go dive into
the Greek of that verse
237
00:10:31.830 --> 00:10:33.810
because that's pretty exciting.
238
00:10:33.810 --> 00:10:36.870 line:15%
But one of the commands of the Torah, one
239
00:10:36.870 --> 00:10:40.770 line:15%
of the 613, is the command for the priest to take care
240
00:10:40.770 --> 00:10:42.000 line:15%
of their appearance.
241
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.300
And Leviticus 10:6 says - Then Moses said to Aaron
242
00:10:45.300 --> 00:10:47.910
and to his sons, do not uncover your heads
243
00:10:47.910 --> 00:10:49.650
nor tear your clothes.
244
00:10:49.650 --> 00:10:52.080
And yesterday we had just begun on that.
245
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:53.700
And I commented that one thing
246
00:10:53.700 --> 00:10:57.390
that really bothers me is the way people dress.
247
00:10:57.390 --> 00:11:00.060
It really bothers me. When you go to church -
248
00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:02.460
and please - I'm not wanting to step on anybody's toes,
249
00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:04.290
but I probably am going to.
250
00:11:04.290 --> 00:11:05.730
But when you go to church
251
00:11:05.730 --> 00:11:09.270
and it looks like everybody
is dressed to go to a picnic;
252
00:11:09.270 --> 00:11:11.700
they don't look like they're
dressed to go to church.
253
00:11:11.700 --> 00:11:15.720
Well, do you know the way
you dress really shows
254
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.490
what you respect.
255
00:11:17.490 --> 00:11:19.230
If you were to go meet the president
256
00:11:19.230 --> 00:11:22.350
of the United States in the Oval Office,
257
00:11:22.350 --> 00:11:25.710
you would not go in sandals,
you would not go in jeans
258
00:11:25.710 --> 00:11:27.900
that were all falling apart.
259
00:11:27.900 --> 00:11:29.640
It - I don't care what the style was,
260
00:11:29.640 --> 00:11:31.140
you would look the finest
261
00:11:31.140 --> 00:11:34.470
you could look because you're
going into the Oval Office.
262
00:11:34.470 --> 00:11:37.290
Well, when we come into
the presence of God,
263
00:11:37.290 --> 00:11:38.790
we're coming into the presence
264
00:11:38.790 --> 00:11:40.950
of the greatest figure in the universe.
265
00:11:40.950 --> 00:11:45.150
And when we speak for
God, we should reflect
266
00:11:45.150 --> 00:11:46.980
who we are representing.
267
00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:49.710
And the word, preach, in the New Testament,
268
00:11:49.710 --> 00:11:52.870
the Greek word, kerux. The word, kerux, was the word which
269
00:11:52.870 --> 00:11:55.180
described the spokesman of the king.
270
00:11:55.180 --> 00:11:57.730
And when you were the spokesman of the king,
271
00:11:57.730 --> 00:12:01.690
it obligated you to represent him well.
272
00:12:01.690 --> 00:12:04.990
You had to accurately repeat
what he told you to say.
273
00:12:04.990 --> 00:12:07.870
You could not add your own interpretation.
274
00:12:07.870 --> 00:12:11.110
It was not a place where
spokesman would tell jokes
275
00:12:11.110 --> 00:12:12.790
or just have a fun time.
276
00:12:12.790 --> 00:12:15.910
He was speaking on behalf of the king.
277
00:12:15.910 --> 00:12:17.800
Secondly: he had to know how
278
00:12:17.800 --> 00:12:19.600
to be cultured when he spoke to people.
279
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.700
Because if he was rude to people,
280
00:12:21.700 --> 00:12:24.160
it would be a poor reflection on the king.
281
00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:26.260
He had to know how to be polite with people.
282
00:12:26.260 --> 00:12:28.945
And even if he had a correction, he needed to be able
283
00:12:28.945 --> 00:12:32.230
to give it sternly but also compassionately.
284
00:12:32.230 --> 00:12:36.610
And he needed to dress in a
way that reflected the fact
285
00:12:36.610 --> 00:12:39.185
that he was representing the king.
286
00:12:39.185 --> 00:12:40.630
If he had stood in front
287
00:12:40.630 --> 00:12:43.510
of the kingdom dressed in shoddy clothes,
288
00:12:43.510 --> 00:12:46.720
that would be the last
time he ever stood in front
289
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.700
of the kingdom to represent the king.
290
00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:51.250
That would be an insult to the king.
291
00:12:51.250 --> 00:12:54.850
And when I saw this particular law in your book,
292
00:12:54.850 --> 00:12:56.740
it really touched me
293
00:12:56.740 --> 00:13:00.400
because I'm disturbed at the way that people dress in church
294
00:13:00.400 --> 00:13:03.010
as believers, as preachers.
295
00:13:03.010 --> 00:13:06.850
It disturbs me. And I believe
that we have lost respect for
296
00:13:06.850 --> 00:13:09.790
who we are and for who we represent.
297
00:13:09.790 --> 00:13:12.700
But would you please comment on this law one more time?
298
00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:14.200
Well, I love what you just said.
299
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:18.220
We've lost respect for who
God is and who we are in Him
300
00:13:18.220 --> 00:13:20.020
and our purpose in Him in the earth.
301
00:13:20.020 --> 00:13:22.240
That really is a nutshell
of what that's about.
302
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.190
We're not talking about legalism here.
303
00:13:24.190 --> 00:13:27.670
We're talking about understanding who God is,
304
00:13:27.670 --> 00:13:30.340
having an appreciation and a and
305
00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:32.890
and a beautiful holy reverence for that.
306
00:13:32.890 --> 00:13:35.260
And understanding our
calling on the earth.
307
00:13:35.260 --> 00:13:37.660
This priest, that's what it's
about. It's a heart issue.
308
00:13:37.660 --> 00:13:39.250
It's not a legalistic issue.
309
00:13:39.250 --> 00:13:42.280
You think about Moses. The Lord said, take off your sandals
310
00:13:42.280 --> 00:13:44.260
for your standing on Holy Ground.
311
00:13:44.260 --> 00:13:46.870
Again, people can maybe not hear
312
00:13:46.870 --> 00:13:48.700
what we're saying about this.
313
00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:52.450
One of the values in studying
the law is it restores
314
00:13:52.450 --> 00:13:56.290
to us a holy reverence for the Lord.
315
00:13:56.290 --> 00:13:57.520
And the church, I think by
316
00:13:57.520 --> 00:14:00.190
and large, really needs a big dose
317
00:14:00.190 --> 00:14:01.750
of holy fear of the Lord.
318
00:14:01.750 --> 00:14:02.800
People think - Oh, you know,
319
00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:04.810
we've been delivered from fearing the Lord.
320
00:14:04.810 --> 00:14:07.150
This is the concept that's often communicated in the church.
321
00:14:07.150 --> 00:14:09.880
We don't fear the Lord anymore because we have Jesus now,
322
00:14:09.880 --> 00:14:11.560
and we don't have to be afraid.
323
00:14:11.560 --> 00:14:16.240
But listen - the fear of the Lord, the holy, clean
324
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.210
fear of the Lord is empowering.
325
00:14:19.210 --> 00:14:20.650
It's beautiful.
326
00:14:20.650 --> 00:14:22.510
The spirit of the fear of the Lord,
327
00:14:22.510 --> 00:14:25.930
the prophets tell us, rest upon Jesus.
328
00:14:25.930 --> 00:14:28.900
Yeshua said, do not fear a man that's able
329
00:14:28.900 --> 00:14:32.830
to destroy the body and then
do nothing more but fear him.
330
00:14:32.830 --> 00:14:35.320
Jesus said, that's able to destroy both
331
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:36.850
soul and body and hell.
332
00:14:36.850 --> 00:14:39.220
Now what I'm, what I'm suggesting here is not
333
00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:41.770
that we're walking around afraid: you know,
334
00:14:41.770 --> 00:14:43.600
walking on eggshells all the time,
335
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:47.050
but what I am suggesting is
that we need to be restored
336
00:14:47.050 --> 00:14:50.140
to having a beautiful,
holy fear of the Lord.
337
00:14:50.140 --> 00:14:52.250
And one of the ways that this holy fear
338
00:14:52.250 --> 00:14:56.900
of the Lord is shown is
having a proper respect
339
00:14:56.900 --> 00:15:00.650
for God and a sense of
who he is as the king
340
00:15:00.650 --> 00:15:03.140
and how we are relating to him,
341
00:15:03.140 --> 00:15:06.920
which sometimes we can see is
not there in somebody's life,
342
00:15:06.920 --> 00:15:10.400
as you suggested, when
they're coming to services
343
00:15:10.400 --> 00:15:14.270
in their sandals, torn up jeans, whatever that looks like.
344
00:15:14.270 --> 00:15:17.720
And...an even deeper insult here, that's going on
345
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:21.290 line:15%
Rick, is the fact that many, without realizing it,
346
00:15:21.290 --> 00:15:25.490 line:15%
are coming to worship God dressed in a way
347
00:15:25.490 --> 00:15:29.210 line:15%
that not only is not
appropriate to worship him,
348
00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:33.230 line:15%
but more, more defiled,
if I can use that word.
349
00:15:33.230 --> 00:15:34.730
And I, I don't know if that is the right word,
350
00:15:34.730 --> 00:15:36.620
but more of an issue is the fact
351
00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:39.680
that many are walking into
the sanctuary dressed in a way
352
00:15:39.680 --> 00:15:42.800
to draw, to draw attention to themselves.
353
00:15:42.800 --> 00:15:45.275
Hmm. - So you look for example, even at some
354
00:15:45.275 --> 00:15:46.940
of the people on the worship platform
355
00:15:46.940 --> 00:15:48.080
that are leading the music,
356
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.300
and I mean, I'm just saying men are very
357
00:15:50.300 --> 00:15:51.560
visually stimulated.
358
00:15:51.560 --> 00:15:53.480
And I'm not placing all the fault on women
359
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:54.710
because as men we have
360
00:15:54.710 --> 00:15:56.870
to take responsibility for our own eyes.
361
00:15:56.870 --> 00:15:59.600
We have to take responsibility
over the spirit of lust.
362
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.090
But when women are coming into services
363
00:16:02.090 --> 00:16:05.060
and leading worship, you know,
with these blouses, you know,
364
00:16:05.060 --> 00:16:06.380
and strapless shirts
365
00:16:06.380 --> 00:16:10.790
and tight jeans, I mean
this is not designed to,
366
00:16:10.790 --> 00:16:11.870
to give glory to God
367
00:16:11.870 --> 00:16:14.960
because the scriptures are very clear
368
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:16.730
that we're to dress modestly.
369
00:16:16.730 --> 00:16:19.610
And in fact, one of the laws in relationship
370
00:16:19.610 --> 00:16:21.500
to this in the Torah comes from the book
371
00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:24.770
of Exodus 20:26.
372
00:16:26.210 --> 00:16:28.940
Rick, here it's the commandment dealing with
373
00:16:28.940 --> 00:16:31.220
how God's priest should address.
374
00:16:31.220 --> 00:16:35.330
Okay. And the specific, yeah,
the specific law here is
375
00:16:35.330 --> 00:16:39.920
that the Lord said to the priest that they should not ascend
376
00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:44.030
to his altar by way of steps,
377
00:16:44.030 --> 00:16:47.180
but instead he said they should build a ramp so
378
00:16:47.180 --> 00:16:50.480
that their nakedness would not be exposed:
379
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:53.300
Exodus 20:26. What's going on here?
380
00:16:53.300 --> 00:16:55.070
Because back in the ancient world,
381
00:16:55.070 --> 00:16:57.170
steps did not have risers.
382
00:16:57.170 --> 00:16:59.630
In other words, you have a step here, there wasn't a riser
383
00:16:59.630 --> 00:17:02.270
between one step and the next
step, it was just a step,
384
00:17:02.270 --> 00:17:04.310
then a blank space, and then the next step
385
00:17:04.310 --> 00:17:06.290
and then a blank space and the next step.
386
00:17:06.290 --> 00:17:08.510
So if you were standing on the opposite side of
387
00:17:08.510 --> 00:17:11.660
where the priest was walking
up the step to the altar,
388
00:17:11.660 --> 00:17:13.430
you'd be able to see
underneath their garments,
389
00:17:13.430 --> 00:17:15.260
their nakedness would be exposed.
390
00:17:15.260 --> 00:17:17.690
And so God said, I don't want
their nakedness being exposed.
391
00:17:17.690 --> 00:17:19.670
It's not proper in my presence.
392
00:17:19.670 --> 00:17:22.250
So he said, build a ramp so
that no one's gonna be able
393
00:17:22.250 --> 00:17:23.600
to see underneath our garments.
394
00:17:23.600 --> 00:17:25.640
It's really the principle of modesty.
395
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:28.340
And I think as God's
people, you know, that,
396
00:17:28.340 --> 00:17:29.900
that we don't need to be coming to church.
397
00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:31.670
And there's even someone
even pointed out to me
398
00:17:31.670 --> 00:17:34.310
to just the earlier
this week about somebody
399
00:17:34.310 --> 00:17:36.080
that was leading their worship team
400
00:17:36.080 --> 00:17:38.870
and the whole worship team,
men were wearing muscle shirts
401
00:17:38.870 --> 00:17:40.580
and the guy was really well built.
402
00:17:40.580 --> 00:17:42.800
And it just like a woman said, you know,
403
00:17:42.800 --> 00:17:44.720
women are visually stimulated too.
404
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.570
We need to ask ourself why we're dressing
405
00:17:47.570 --> 00:17:48.990
the way that we're dressing.
406
00:17:48.990 --> 00:17:51.720
Are we dressing to draw
people to our flesh
407
00:17:52.740 --> 00:17:54.180
and for our own attention?
408
00:17:54.180 --> 00:17:57.270
Or are we dressing in a
way that glorifies God?
409
00:17:57.270 --> 00:17:59.340
And finally, if I could
just conclude by saying
410
00:17:59.340 --> 00:18:02.880
that this doesn't mean that
we can't dress attractively,
411
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.090
it just means that we shouldn't dress, sensuously.
412
00:18:06.090 --> 00:18:08.557
Because the Lord actually told the priest
413
00:18:08.557 --> 00:18:10.264
to dress in garments
414
00:18:10.264 --> 00:18:12.243
of glory and of beauty,
415
00:18:12.243 --> 00:18:14.970
You know, Rabbi, I'm a pastor as well,
416
00:18:14.970 --> 00:18:17.790
and I'm always glad when people come to church
417
00:18:17.790 --> 00:18:18.870
and I just wanted 'em to come
418
00:18:18.870 --> 00:18:20.760
to church even if they don't have
419
00:18:20.760 --> 00:18:21.840
anything nice to wear.
420
00:18:21.840 --> 00:18:24.300
And some people really don't
have anything nice to wear.
421
00:18:24.300 --> 00:18:29.300
And so I'm, I'm really not picking an issue with people
422
00:18:29.550 --> 00:18:31.170
who don't have something nice to wear.
423
00:18:31.170 --> 00:18:34.110
One time we were having an event in the United States
424
00:18:34.110 --> 00:18:35.520
and we asked people to wear a dress.
425
00:18:35.520 --> 00:18:37.560
And the women that we were speaking to,
426
00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:38.670 line:15%
they didn't own a dress
427
00:18:38.670 --> 00:18:40.740 line:15%
because dresses are not popular anymore.
428
00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:43.170 line:15%
All they had was pants, suits and pants.
429
00:18:43.170 --> 00:18:45.900 line:15%
And so the culture really has changed,
430
00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:48.635 line:15%
but I think that we should be the best
431
00:18:48.635 --> 00:18:50.580 line:15%
that we can be - right there.
432
00:18:50.580 --> 00:18:52.650 line:15%
We represent the Lord. We do.
433
00:18:52.650 --> 00:18:54.420 line:15%
And I understand that culture changes,
434
00:18:54.420 --> 00:18:57.480 line:15%
and I'm not nitpicking on culture
435
00:18:57.480 --> 00:18:59.580 line:15%
because it's gonna continue to change,
436
00:18:59.580 --> 00:19:02.790
but whatever we do, we should look the very best.
437
00:19:02.790 --> 00:19:04.740
We should think about what we represent
438
00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:06.570
and how we affect other people.
439
00:19:06.570 --> 00:19:08.310
It is really very, very important.
440
00:19:08.310 --> 00:19:10.260
And I appreciate the fact
441
00:19:10.260 --> 00:19:13.170
that you opened this law from the Torah for me.
442
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.000
Well, it's really - it's just a heart issue, right?
443
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:20.280
It really is. I mean..I just perceive
444
00:19:20.280 --> 00:19:23.370
that people can get a wrong sense of what we're saying.
445
00:19:23.370 --> 00:19:24.420
It's just a heart issue.
446
00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:27.600
It's just a proper love
and respect for the Lord
447
00:19:27.600 --> 00:19:29.460
and wanting to give him our best
448
00:19:29.460 --> 00:19:32.220
and dressing in a way that is appropriate
449
00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:33.570
and the best that we can do.
450
00:19:33.570 --> 00:19:35.670
As you said, people have different means.
451
00:19:35.670 --> 00:19:37.620
And you know, people only have
452
00:19:37.620 --> 00:19:39.450
so much control over their appearance,
453
00:19:39.450 --> 00:19:42.180
but to do it out of our heart, out of love for God,
454
00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:45.690
and out of our desire to reflect him in the world in a way
455
00:19:45.690 --> 00:19:47.820
that brings him glory to the best of our ability.
456
00:19:47.820 --> 00:19:49.950
And that's a law of the Old Testament.
457
00:19:49.950 --> 00:19:51.660
That's a law. The Old
Testament, that's a law.
458
00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:53.100
Doesn't it help to, doesn't it help
459
00:19:53.100 --> 00:19:55.135
to know the Old Testament laws? I mean, it brings clarity.
460
00:19:55.135 --> 00:19:56.550
It it, it really does.
461
00:19:56.550 --> 00:20:00.180
And you know, Paul was, he was
a pharisee of the Pharisees.
462
00:20:00.180 --> 00:20:02.160
He was so schooled in scripture.
463
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:04.890
And when you read Paul's writings, a lot of
464
00:20:04.890 --> 00:20:09.030
what Paul writes about is based in the Old Testament.
465
00:20:09.030 --> 00:20:11.490
So I'm so grateful that
you've written this book,
466
00:20:11.490 --> 00:20:14.220
but there's another law I
really want us to talk about,
467
00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:15.810
and we don't have time to get into it
468
00:20:15.810 --> 00:20:17.490
today, but it is the law - are
469
00:20:17.490 --> 00:20:19.170
you ready for this. I know you're ready for it
470
00:20:19.170 --> 00:20:23.820 line:15%
because you wrote it - To offer no strange incense on the
471
00:20:23.820 --> 00:20:26.190 line:15%
altar - ay..yi.
472
00:20:26.190 --> 00:20:28.020
And Exodus 30:9 says,
473
00:20:28.020 --> 00:20:31.980
You shall not offer any strange incense on this altar
474
00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:34.470
or burn offering or meal offerings,
475
00:20:34.470 --> 00:20:37.530
and you should pour out a drink offering on it.
476
00:20:37.530 --> 00:20:42.530
What in the world is strange incense and a strange offering.
477
00:20:42.810 --> 00:20:43.980
And that's what I would like for us
478
00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:45.480
to talk about in the next program.
479
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.130
But we're out of time. But
Rabbi, thank you for being
480
00:20:48.130 --> 00:20:50.410
with me and please join me again tomorrow.
481
00:20:50.410 --> 00:20:53.690
And friends, I'll be
back in just a moment.
482
00:21:01.060 --> 00:21:03.280 line:15%
How does a person receive salvation?
483
00:21:03.280 --> 00:21:05.230 line:15%
Well, that's a really important question.
484
00:21:05.230 --> 00:21:07.510 line:15%
We're told by Peter when
he was preaching on the day
485
00:21:07.510 --> 00:21:10.450 line:15%
of Pentecost in Acts 2:38,
486
00:21:10.450 --> 00:21:12.280 line:15%
that we are to repent.
487
00:21:12.280 --> 00:21:14.770 line:15%
We're also told in Acts 16,
488
00:21:14.770 --> 00:21:16.930
that if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
489
00:21:16.930 --> 00:21:18.940
thou shalt be saved.
490
00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:20.710
We're told in Romans 10,
491
00:21:20.710 --> 00:21:25.150
if any man will say Jesus
is Lord, he will be saved.
492
00:21:25.150 --> 00:21:27.670
So really we find 3-components.
493
00:21:27.670 --> 00:21:30.280
No.1: you've got to repent, you've got to believe,
494
00:21:30.280 --> 00:21:32.620
and you've got to say with your mouth.
495
00:21:32.620 --> 00:21:36.490
And this is important because
your voice is your authority.
496
00:21:36.490 --> 00:21:39.880
And when you say Jesus is
Lord, you're literally saying,
497
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:43.630
I'm giving you the ultimate
control of my life.
498
00:21:43.630 --> 00:21:46.270
And of course that comes with repentance
499
00:21:46.270 --> 00:21:47.470
and it comes with faith.
500
00:21:47.470 --> 00:21:50.650
But salvation, according to Ephesians 2,
501
00:21:50.650 --> 00:21:51.760
is the gift of God.
502
00:21:51.760 --> 00:21:55.360
It's not of works lest any man should boast.
503
00:21:55.360 --> 00:21:59.350
But really these 3 components are required: repentance,
504
00:21:59.350 --> 00:22:01.300
faith, and confession.
505
00:22:02.620 --> 00:22:05.590 line:15%
Are you missing the
deeper meaning of the Torah?

Rick's series, Decoding the Torah: Rick Renner with guest,
507
00:22:09.340 --> 00:22:12.040 line:15%
Rabbi Schneider, reveals how the law still speaks
508
00:22:12.040 --> 00:22:14.650
to believers today: not as a burden,
509
00:22:14.650 --> 00:22:18.250 line:15%
but as a guide to holiness and intimacy with God.
510
00:22:18.250 --> 00:22:21.460 line:15%
In this 5-part series, you will discover -
511
00:22:21.460 --> 00:22:25.120
How the Torah still applies to mankind today:
512
00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:29.200 line:15%
How Jesus fulfills the law rather than replaces it:

This is Rick Renner, and today I'm in the Tulsa office
530
00:23:26.020 --> 00:23:29.350
and this is another part of our new TV studio.
531
00:23:29.350 --> 00:23:32.500
This is where Denise is filming TV programs
532
00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:35.530 line:15%
and how wonderful the now we have 2-little studios: one
533
00:23:35.530 --> 00:23:39.670 line:15%
for her and one for me where we can interview guests
534
00:23:39.670 --> 00:23:41.110 line:15%
who can't come all the way to Russia
535
00:23:41.110 --> 00:23:43.060 line:15%
to be interviewed in our studio there.
536
00:23:43.060 --> 00:23:44.990 line:15%
So when we're in the United States,
537
00:23:44.990 --> 00:23:46.790 line:15%
we can interview them here.
538
00:23:46.790 --> 00:23:49.370 line:15%
And that's what we've been doing all week
539
00:23:49.370 --> 00:23:52.700
in this wonderful
facility, which God gave us
540
00:23:52.700 --> 00:23:54.170
in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
541
00:23:54.170 --> 00:23:56.630
We're so grateful for this building.
542
00:23:56.630 --> 00:23:58.280
It was really a gift from the Lord.
543
00:23:58.280 --> 00:24:00.350
And it's almost paid for.
544
00:24:00.350 --> 00:24:05.000 line:15%
We've already retired 86% of the debt.
545
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.190 line:15%
We just need to go a little ways to finish this.
546
00:24:07.190 --> 00:24:10.340 line:15%
We call it the Ministry Expansion Project
547
00:24:10.340 --> 00:24:12.710
because when this is finished, it's going
548
00:24:12.710 --> 00:24:16.190 line:15%
to allow the ministry to really expand financially,
549
00:24:16.190 --> 00:24:18.650 line:15%
to wrap our arms around the whole world
550
00:24:18.650 --> 00:24:21.980 line:15%
where people need the trusted
teaching of the Bible.
551
00:24:21.980 --> 00:24:24.140 line:15%
And we know that's our calling.
552
00:24:24.140 --> 00:24:26.325 line:15%
And if you're a part of
the Giving team, I want
553
00:24:26.325 --> 00:24:27.710 line:15%
to say thank you for helping us
554
00:24:27.710 --> 00:24:29.510 line:15%
to retire the dead on this facility
555
00:24:29.510 --> 00:24:31.730 line:15%
and to release those finances.
556
00:24:31.730 --> 00:24:33.440 line:15%
And if you're not a part
of the Giving Team yet,
557
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:35.990 line:15%
I'm inviting you today to join us
558
00:24:35.990 --> 00:24:38.870 line:15%
to help us finish this project.
559
00:24:38.870 --> 00:24:42.110 line:15%
Wow, what a shout of victory we're gonna give to God on
560
00:24:42.110 --> 00:24:43.970 line:15%
that day when it's done.
561
00:24:43.970 --> 00:24:46.730 line:15%
And just think of the people
that are going to be reached.
562
00:24:46.730 --> 00:24:48.920 line:15%
So thank you for being a part
563
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:50.840 line:15%
of the Ministry Expansion Project.
564
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:00.710
Well, I wanna say thank you for joining me
565
00:25:00.710 --> 00:25:02.960
and Rabbi Schneider for today's program.
566
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:06.980
I'm just so blessed that
Rabbi Schneider has joined us
567
00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:09.080
for the program this week.
568
00:25:09.080 --> 00:25:11.150
That's a big sacrifice of his time.
569
00:25:11.150 --> 00:25:13.640
And Rabbi, I'm very grateful and friend.
570
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:16.070
I'm grateful that you get to partake
571
00:25:16.070 --> 00:25:19.520
of his wonderful insights from the Torah.
572
00:25:19.520 --> 00:25:20.660
And the whole series,
573
00:25:20.660 --> 00:25:23.420 line:15%
which we're teaching this week
is called Decoding the Torah
574
00:25:23.420 --> 00:25:24.770 line:15%
comes with a study guide
575
00:25:24.770 --> 00:25:26.900 line:15%
and we're also offering a Rabbi's book
576
00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:29.420 line:15%
that I have read from cover to cover.
577
00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:31.400 line:15%
He gave it to me personally when I was
578
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.050 line:15%
visiting with him and his wife.
579
00:25:33.050 --> 00:25:36.380 line:15%
I immediately began to
read it and I devoured it.
580
00:25:36.380 --> 00:25:37.940 line:15%
It's called, Decoding the Torah:
581
00:25:37.940 --> 00:25:40.880 line:15%
Applying Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World.
582
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.150 line:15%
It deals with 100 of the laws from the Torah,
583
00:25:44.150 --> 00:25:47.300 line:15%
and it provides for them a Christian context for me
584
00:25:47.300 --> 00:25:48.770 line:15%
and for you.
585
00:25:48.770 --> 00:25:51.650 line:15%
But you can order all these
things by going online
586
00:25:51.650 --> 00:25:53.450 line:15%

that you ordered them
587
00:25:53.450 --> 00:25:54.890 line:15%
because they're really good.
588

596
00:26:13.520 --> 00:26:15.470 line:15%
with you in faith.
597
00:26:15.470 --> 00:26:17.720 line:15%
He promises he will hear us
598
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:19.520 line:15%
and he will do what needs to be done.
599
00:26:19.520 --> 00:26:22.760 line:15%
He's going to do something
great and mighty for you.
600
00:26:22.760 --> 00:26:26.360 line:15%
So please, please, let us know how
601
00:26:26.360 --> 00:26:28.310 line:15%
to pray for you.
602
00:26:28.310 --> 00:26:30.290 line:15%
And I wanna pray for you right now.
603
00:26:30.290 --> 00:26:32.990 line:15%
Father, I pray that you enable us to apply
604
00:26:32.990 --> 00:26:36.170 line:15%
what we have learned in today's program.
605
00:26:36.170 --> 00:26:40.190 line:15%
We thank you for such amazing
truth from the Old Testament.
606
00:26:40.190 --> 00:26:41.570 line:15%
Lord, we ask you to change us
607
00:26:41.570 --> 00:26:45.210 line:15%
and we ask you to empower us in Jesus' name -
608
00:26:46.230 --> 00:26:48.870 line:15%
Amen. Well, I'll be back here tomorrow
609
00:26:48.870 --> 00:26:51.060 line:15%
and Rabbi is gonna be with me again.
610
00:26:51.060 --> 00:26:53.250
So I'll see you in the next program.
611
00:26:53.250 --> 00:26:57.210
But please remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
612
00:26:57.210 --> 00:27:00.690
"Where the word of a king is, there is power."
613
00:27:00.690 --> 00:27:02.940
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
614
00:27:02.940 --> 00:27:07.320
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
615
00:27:07.320 --> 00:27:09.480
Jesus has to give you.
616
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:13.560
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
617
00:27:13.560 --> 00:27:17.580
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
618
00:27:17.580 --> 00:27:20.550
and Lord. Wash away my sin
619
00:27:20.550 --> 00:27:23.580
and make me completely new.
620
00:27:23.580 --> 00:27:27.390
I thank you that my sin is removed
621
00:27:27.390 --> 00:27:32.390
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
622
00:27:32.910 --> 00:27:36.930
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
623
00:27:36.930 --> 00:27:38.580
for the rest of my life.
624
00:27:39.510 --> 00:27:40.510
