Welcome to Christian talk with Eric Thompson, a thoughtful podcast helping Christians navigate life. I'LL PODCAST for Christ I'll bring faith, family political issues, using God's word, the Bible. The victory is ours. Let our light shine before others so they may glorify our father in heaven. Welcome to Christian talk with Eric Thompson. Hey, good morning, welcome to another Christian talk podcast. Thank you so much for listening in. It is Monday, March seventh, two thousand and twenty two, Beautiful Day out here in California. I got my copy. This is a copy with Christians podcast. If you want to get information on the PODCAST, head over to Christian talk dot life. Christian talk dot life. I do have two sponsors we're going to discuss during the podcast. The first one is pure talk. They can help you save up to a thousand dollars a year on your cell service and right now I know that can really help out, but we'll get to them later. The other one is my Pillowcom and I'm make sure you remember the promo codes of fls three letters are going to give you huge deals on both of those. Let's get started here. He Brews four hundred twelve of if it's a first time you're listening, I like to cover what I consider to be kind of foundational scriptures for us to know, because it's kind of like the it anchors us in our faith and in our our understanding of how to approach God. Hebrews for twelve. Let's actually we go eleven through thirteen. Let us, therefore, these are for you and me, for Christ followers, make every effort to enter that rest. If you go back in Hebrews, it's talking about the rest in Christ where we can, we can enter into the whole, you know, the holy of holies. We can enter into God's presence and call him all of father. We have no stress because God is for us, so nothing can be against us. So let us therefore make every effort. Doesn't mean try. Means prayer, fasting, if necessary, in God's word, fellowship, Sharing The Gospel. Make every effort to enter that rest so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience or the world, for the word of God is alive and active. It's not a book of religion, it's not another book like the Vedas or the Cran it is a living record it is. It is the word of God, written by forty authors over three on three continents, over one fifteen hundred years, without contradictions, and it's alive and it's active and it's sharper than any double edged sword. It penetrates the words of God via the Holy Spirit. Is it's dividing our soul and spirit. It's getting down into your bones, the joints in the morrow, and it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. The reason, the reason why people who are fake Christians not really believers. It's because they want they go to church and they want to check that off the list. They don't want to go to hell, so they claim to be Christians. Or they grew up in a Christian home, so they're Christians, but they don't really like the Bible, they don't read it, they don't really feel like they should conform their life at all to be different than the world. They don't tell anybody the Gospel, they don't do anything for anybody. Well, if you read the word of God, you won't. Don't act like that, because you're truly born from above. If you're if you will not read the word of God and pray, then you don't want to talk and hear, talk to and hear from God, that's you're not saved. So, if you know anybody that's in a Bible study with you, family member, yeah, I'm a Christian. Okay, well, when are you in the word of God? When do you when do you talk to God? Well, you know, I don't really read the Bible. The True Sign of a Christ follower is they pray because they want to talk to God and they want to learn and be like Jesus. That's those are good indicators if someone's really saved. Let's do our psalm. This is another psalm of David for pipes, for the instruments. Listen to my words, Lord, consider my lament here, my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you. I pray in the morning. Lord, you hear my voice in the morning. I lay my request before you and I wait expectantly. This is why it's a great time to be in prayer in the morning. Lord, will lead me today. Don't let me turn to the left or the right. Keep me in your will. Help me to be successful and help may help help me live in life that brings you glory or, at the end of the day. You take pleasure in what I did verse, for for you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness. For You, evil people are not welcome. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong. You destroy those who tell lies, the bloodthirsty and deceitful you, Lord, detest, but I, by your great love, can come into your house and reverence. I bow down towards your Holy Temple. Leave me, Lord, in your righteousness, because of my enemies, make your way straight before me. Not a word from their mouth can be trusted. Their heart is filled with malice, their throat is an open grave. With their tongues they tell lies. Declare me declared them guilty. Oh God, let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them with their many sins where they have rebelled against you. But let those who take refuge and you be glad. Let them forever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, for those who love your name may rejoice in you. Surely, Lord, you bless the Righteous. You surround them with favor as a shield and proverbs to we've been working on this one. Today we're going to get down to verses. Twelve through fifteen, it's a Solomon talking to a son about the benefits of wisdom. Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men. Earlier it talks about pursuing ris wisdom like you would pursue silver or gold if you know where there's some gold in the ground and you want to get to it. Pursue wisdom like that. Curse thirteen who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways. Wisdom will keep you from these people who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways. The reason why we do all this is Jesus said in Matthew Fourteen and thirteen through fifteen. You Christians, my believers, Jesus would say my, Hey, Christ hey, you that are following me, that are that have made me Lord. You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its favor, it's Saber. How can it be made salty again? It is not good for anything except to be thrown on the ground of trample by men. You Are the light of the world, Christian. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set not a stand and it gives light to everyone in the household. As we go out to share the Gospel, we want to be light in the darkness. If we don't share the Gospel, if we don't go to church, if we sit on social media and don't ever tell people that Jesus loves them and they should stay married and not look at porn or whatever, whatever your influences, if you can be around people that are discussing or glorifying sin, that's a problem. If you're in the darkness as a light, that should be causing a reaction, because John on twelve says that Jesus came to his own, but his own did not receive him. The Jewish people did not receive their Messiah, but all who did receive him, the gentiles and the few Jewish people that did. To those who believed in his name, he gave them the right to become children of God, children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God. It's all about Jesus. Let's do our reading today, what we do on the podcast. If it's the first time you're listening. We are going through the Bible one chapter a day and I'm just pulling a few things out. So this is not a really long podcast because it's normally in the morning. If you're listening to this, I think we're up to chapter eleven and before we start this I'm going to go over my first sponsor. So this real quick. About a year and a half ago, my wife and I were tired of paying huge cell bills, cell phone bills. Our budget was tight and I heard about a company called pure talk out of the Atlanta, Georgia area and I said, well, let me check them out. Here's how it works. I was a tea mobile. I've been with atnt before and sprint. If you're at the major carrier, then you would do what I did. You would call or go on pure Talkcom and what I did it I got the number and I called them and they walked me through it either way. But they sent they send me my little Sim cards in the mail and they're easy to pop into your existing phones because you don't switch phones by going to peer talk. Same phones, same phone numbers. You put them in your phone or your phones when you turn them back on it'll say pure talk instead of tea mobile or sprint or ATT Verizon. The difference is not much because you're going to keep still be using the same towers you were before. You're still gonna have the same number of bars, you're still going to have the same quality Wi fi and hot spot capabilities. So everything's the same. Think about this. No brainer. Everything's the same, except when you go over on your data, they don't charge you. Check because that's when my bills used to get crazy. When you get your phone bill, it's going to be around fifty percent less than what you've been paying. Remember, you're staying on the same towers, you're getting the same coverage, you're getting the same everything. Your bills about half. When you call customer service or in the Atlanta Georgia area and they actually answer the phone in their nice and you can understand them, the bet is a veteran top they're a top rated wireless company by Consumer Affairs and they don't support causes that you and I disagree with. So check them out. You can go to get pure talkcom. Get Pure talkcom Promo code is F L S, for for liberty's sake, three letters. You just do that and that's going to give you fifty percent off your first pure talk bill. What should be about fifty percent of what you've been paying, which is really going to help you. Right now with five dollar gasoline, I'm looking at my last bill. My last bill for three phones was sixty two dollars and twenty three cents. So check them out. Pure talkcom or get pure talkcom Promo Code fls. And I think you guys that have been signing up. We had more people last week. They just notified me. So thank you very much. Supports the podcast and it's going to save you in your family, the average family saving up to a thousand dollars a year, tenzero dollars over the next ten years, doing absolutely nothing different than you've been doing. Yet pure talkcom. Okay, we go justice eleven. So we've gone through the journey now, and in Hamsham and J Fev had been sent out. Okay, so we had J FIV going to like the Turkey Middle East region, north up toward Russia and growing. We have ham down in Africa and we had sham out and and Oman going east. So it says here in verse one. Now the whole Earth had one language. In common speech. And the people moved eastward and they found a plane, a Shanar, and they settled there and they said to each other, let's make bricks and bake them, and they used the steady, using stone, they used tar and they said, well, in verse four, let us build a city for ourselves. What's a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves. Otherwise we will be scattered. But the Lord came down to see the city and what their building. He said if, as one people speaking the same language, they begain to begun to do this. There's nothing they plan that will be impossible for them. Let us, Father, son, Holy Spirit, let us go down and confuse their language, that they will not understand each other. So the Lord scattered them throughout the Earth and they stopped building the city. This why it's called Babel, because God confuse the language of the whole Earth. And from there the Lord scattered them over the face of the earth. That's where he come up with babbling. Quit your babbling. Remember when God gave Him Sham and Japith the command go and go out and populate the Earth. He didn't say go to this valley and build a tower to challenge me or to try to take glory in the creation. So God simply went down and created languages. That's why people that study earland linguistics they they don't know where language is. Why they just appeared in the written history. There was nothing and then there were some languages because God created them when he dispersed them from the Tower of Babel. So that's what that is. That's the one of the takeaways is God is not going to let you take any of his glory. And when they try to build a tower to take glory, God said, I don't think so. Other thing here is in verse ten. It goes through twenty six. I'm not going to go through all of it, but remember I spoke about when we first started the series. I believe that when in Genesis one, it says it got separated the waters from the waters, he had waters above the heaven so and then you had water on the earth. So you have like this canopy that was created around the earth and I think that was for two reasons. Number One, to prevent the radiation from killing people is quickly. That's why people were living to be as as old as nine hundred sixty nine years old. Also, it was going, it was waiting for the judgment which it poured out of heaven when the flood took place. But listen to this now. So remember they were living nine hundred fifty eight hundred years. Long Time. But when we get to two years after the flood, okay, when Shim was a hundred, he became the father of Ourphcsad and then she shim didn't live nine hundred years. He lived five hundred and then his son had a child named Sheila and he went from living five hundred years to four hundred and three and then Sheila had him. And then we get down to two verse eighteen. A child named Paleg Lib thirty had a was a father of rule. PALLEG lived two hundred nine years. Nimbru had so rouge, and so we're lived two hundred and seven. And it goes down the Neahor to two hundred and then it says after Nayhor had become the father of he became the father of Tara. I'm sorry you. Nayhorn of twenty nine years and became the father of Tara. After he became a Father Tara, neahor lived a hundred nineteen years and had to have their sons and daughters. And after Tara had lived seventy he became the father of Abraham, Nahor and Haram. This is important because you just shows that we were getting too normal, because God said before the flood that I will only dwell with man a hundred twenty years. So everything got back down to what God had had designed post flood, how he was going to deal with mankind. But in Verse Twenty Six it talked about where. This is where Abram pops up on the scene. Tara, Tara became the father. So Tara was the father of Abram, who became Abraham, later Tara. Now we'll finish up here. Tara lived only be he only lived to be a two hundred and five compared to what people used to live. But when Tara had Abraham, Abrahm, Nahor and Haran, then her ran, his son, had a grandson named lot and while its fathered, Tara was still alive and ran died. So lot ends up becoming the responsibility of Abram because Abram's brother died. This is how you end up with lots going to Sodom and Gomorah and Abraham's responsible for him, because Tara died in the inner of cow Dy's, which is in southern Iraq. But here's what happens. Tara took his son Abram, his grandson lot of Iran, and his daughter in last Sarah, and the wife, the wife of Abram, and together they set out from her of the Cowdeans, from southern Iraq to go to what is now Israel, because God said Go. Well, they just got up and went. So they're going all that way bound foot. Where you going? Oh, we're just leaving because God told us to. What? Yeah, we're going to go all the way over to remember. You guys heard about that, that Metatrane, that see over there. We're going to walk all the way over there because God told us to. Yeah, there's there's giants in the land and people could kill us, but God told us to. Since we get so we get out of Chapter Eight or chapter eleven. God doesn't share his glory. That's why he created languages, multiple languages, and that's why it's called babble. To this day, after the flood, people's years of life drop down to where it is now, where someone lives to be a hundred twenty, which I don't know, I don't really believe that, but if they do, very very, very very very very very rare, because the intentions man will only contend with God for a hundred, twenty years, and that through Tara became became Abraham or Abram, who eventually became Abraham and is married to Sarah, who ends up becoming Sarah. And then Tara takes them out by God's sovereign will. They left where they lived comfortably to go to a place which eventually would be Israel, in God's chosen people. Good stuff. They're good stuff, all right. Last thing. You may be challenged right now by what's going on with our culture and the government. I did want to remind you wrote Romans Thirteen, one and two. Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities, for there's no authority the current administration that is allowing gasoline to get up to five, six seven bucks a gallon and and just doing things that are not moral. But there's they were put in place by God, and those who exists were established by God. Therefore, whoever resist authority has opposed orders of God, and those who have opposed will receive condronation upon themselves because Daniel on undred twenty one says it is he who changes the times. In the epics, God removes kings and he establishes kings. God gives wisdom to wise men and knowledge of men, understanding, and it's hard to understand. Let's finish with this two think, two things. First of all, do firse John to fifteen. This is crucial that we know. Fifteen and sixteen do not love the world or anything in the world. Today, on Monday, March seventh, do not love the world. Don't love the cliques and the social media, notoriety and being. Look at me, look at me, give me glory. Do not love the world or anything in the world. For anyone who loves the world, the love of the father is not in him. Verse Sixteen, for all that is in the world, the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes and the pride of life, is not from the father but from the world. And will finish with a upbeach praise for the Lord's Mercies, Asami Day, but one hundred and three. Bless the Lord, Oh my soul, and all that is within me. Bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, Oh my soul, and let me not forget all of God's benefits. God forgives all your iniquities, he heals all your diseases, redeems your life from destruction, crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies. Pagans and nonbelievers can't say this. These are the benefits of being a child of God. He forgives all your sins. People that are depressed and walking around in the world and suicidal. They can't get relief because they're not forgiven. You'll heals all your diseases. When you enter into your glorious body in heaven, you'll there is no disease and your body will be perfect like the angels. redeems your life from destruction, you're not going to hell, and crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies. Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that you're those that your youth is renewed, your mercies are new everyday. Christian, that your youth is renewed like the eagles, for the Lord Executes Righteousness and Justice for all who are oppressed. Amen and Amen. We are blessed. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. We're not going to love the world today. We're going to be in prayer, we're going to be available, we're going to be a light, we're going to trust and seek the word of God in regardless of how dark it looks outside or on the news. God is the one that lifts up kings and takes him down. There's Times in history where where kings we're actually a judgment on their people. So we're supposed to be praying for our leaders that they would be born again and turn from their wicked ways.
