  1. The Christmas Debate

    The Christmas Debate

    "“For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their wrongdoing, and their sin I will no longer remember.”" 📚 Jeremiah 31:33-34 NASB Other Verses of Importance 📚 Jeremiah 10:1-5 📚 Hebrews 8:10 📚 Hebrews 10:16 📚 2 Timothy 2:15 📚 Hosea 4:6 📚 Acts 17:29-30 This time of year, you'll be inundated with people arguing for and against Christmas. That's not what we're doing in this episode--if you want to see research I've done on the origin of Christmas, checkout the blog (www.psalmstogod.com/search/labels/Christmas). Today, we're talking about other aspects of the debate that are important to consider. If you get nothing else from this conversation remember this: It's not about being right or wrong, it's about worshipping God the way He wants to be worshipped. ** This episode also serves to correct a statement I'm sure I've made earlier on Jeremiah 10:1-5--while I still think we should be cautious and mindful of Christmas trees, upon closer reading I do agree that this verse is about idol statues and graven images. Many say this is a warning about Christmas trees, but I don't think the text actually supports that claim. I will do a post on the history of Christmas Trees specifically to address this when I have time. ** Show Notes: www.psalmstogod.com/2024/12/the-christmas-debate.html Website: www.psalmstogod.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/psalms_to_god SoundCloud: @psalmstogod YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/psalmstodgod

  2. The Faith Journey

    The Faith Journey

    "But I tell you that for every careless word that people speak, they will give an account of it on the day of judgment." 📚 Matthew 12:36 NASB "“For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their wrongdoing, and their sin I will no longer remember.”" 📚 Jeremiah 31:33-34 NASB "12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the actual words of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is an infant." 📚 Hebrews 5:12-13 NASB Faith is a journey. Our relationship with God is a journey. And journeys have highs and lows, twists and turns, detours, and everything in between. Sometimes our journey takes us through scenic paths and paved roads, other times we're in the wilderness traversing rocky terrain. What's more, we're not all on the same journey. So let's talk about some different aspects of this journey and how they affect us and those around us. ** Correction: in the video I said mass means death, it actually means dismissal (still bad), see the etymology of the name of the holiday here: https://www.psalmstogod.com/2015/12/day-1-etymology-of-christmas.html ** Show Notes: www.psalmstogod.com/2024/12/the-faith-journey.html Website: www.psalmstogod.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/psalms_to_god SoundCloud: @psalmstogod YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/psalmstodgod

    History & Prophecy from Daniel 11 Pt 2

    Daniel 11 covers a lot of history! This time we're covering Daniel 11:5-16; it discusses a war that begins between the King of the South and the King of the North. If we trace this throughout history, it looks like the Diadochi wars... Different sources list different generals as the 4 Generals who took over for Alexander the Great, but at the end of the day the important part is that the kingdom was split in to 4 regions, of which the Ptolemaic South and the Seleucid North became the most prominent, waging war against each other in the Diadochi wars until Rome took over. People Discussed: 👤 Ptolemy I - one of the 4 Generals and begins the Ptolemaic Empire (323 BC - 285 BC) (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ptolemy-I-Soter) 👤 Arsinoe II - daughter of Ptolemy I who marries Lysimachus then flees back to Egypt where she marries her brother Ptolemy II (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Arsinoe-II) 👤 Ptolemy II - second king of Egypt in Ptolemaic empire (285 BC - 246 BC) (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ptolemy-II-Philadelphus) 👤 Berenice - daughter of Ptolemy II who marries Antiochus II (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Berenice-daughter-of-Ptolemy-II) 👤Ptolemy III - son of Ptolemy II (245 BC - 221 BC) (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ptolemy-III-Euergetes) 👤 Ptolemy IV - son of Ptolemy III (221 -205) (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ptolemy-IV-Philopator) 👤 Ptolemy V - son of Ptolemy IV (205 BC -180 BC) (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ptolemy-V-Epiphanes) 👤 Seleucus I - defeats Lysimachus and begins Seleucid Empire (305 BC - 281 BC) 👤 Laodice, wife of Antiochus II (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Seleucus-I-Nicator) 👤 Antiochus II - grandson of Seleucus I and king of Seleucid Empire (261 BC - 246 BC) (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Antiochus-II-Theos) 👤 Seleucus II - son of Laodice and Antiochus II (246 BC - 225 BC) (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Seleucus-II-Callinicus) 👤 Antiochus III - son of Seleucus II (223 BC - 187 BC) (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Antiochus-III-the-Great) 👤 Antiochus IV - son of Antiochus III and king during the Jewish war of the Maccabees (175 BC - 164 BC) (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Antiochus-IV-Epiphanes) Show Notes: https://www.psalmstogod.com/2024/11/history-prophecy-from-daniel-11-pt-2.html Website: www.psalmstogod.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/psalms_to_god SoundCloud: @psalmstogod YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/psalmstodgod

    History & Prophecy from Daniel 11 P1

    "2 And now I will tell you the truth. Behold, three more kings are going to arise in Persia. Then a fourth will gain far more riches than all of them; as soon as he becomes strong through his riches, he will stir up the entire empire against the realm of Greece." 📚 Daniel 11:2 NASB Daniel 11 covers a lot of history! In this episode we're talking about the time between Darius the Mede and Alexander the Great (the shift from Persia to Greece as the major power in the Middle East). In this episode I mention Cyaxeres II: Check out my previous episodes on this topic... --> www.psalmstogod.com/2024/09/the-first-fall-of-babylon.html References: * Who is Darius the Mede? - https://www.evidenceunseen.com/bible-difficulties-2/ot-difficulties/daniel-amos/dan-531-who-is-darius-the-mede/ - Evidence Unseen * Darius the Mede - https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/encyclopedia-of-the-bible/Darius-Mede - Bible Gateway.com * Darius the Mede - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_the_Mede - Wikipedia * Darius the Mede: A solution to his identity - https://truthonlybible.com/2016/01/08/darius-the-mede-a-solution-to-his-identity/ - Truth Only Bible * Cambyses II - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Cambyses-II - Encyclopedia Britannica * Bardiya - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Bardiya - Encyclopedia Britannica * Darius I - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Darius-I - Encyclopedia Britannica * Xerxes I - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Xerxes-I - Encyclopedia Britannica * Greco-Persian Wars - https://www.britannica.com/event/Greco-Persian-Wars - Encyclopedia Britannica * Alexander the Great - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Alexander-the-Great - Encyclopedia Britannica Show Notes: https://www.psalmstogod.com/2024/11/history-prophecy-from-daniel-11-pt-1.html Website: www.psalmstogod.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/psalms_to_god SoundCloud: @psalmstogod YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/psalmstodgod

  5. Unmarried At 36: What No One Tells You

    Unmarried At 36: What No One Tells You

    "32 But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; 33 but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, 34 and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 35 I say this for your own benefit, not to put a restraint on you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord." 📚 1 Corinthians 7:32-35 NASB Dating is hard; I think everyone can agree with that statement. Most of us (women, atleast) assumed we would be married well before our 30s, but alot of us aren't. There's a lot of negativity out there in the discussion on why dating is hard and why people are single, but that doesn't really help anyone. This episode isn't about what anyone is doing wrong or even about what people are doing right, it's just a summary of experiences and nuances that seem to get left out in this conversation. In this episode I mention the difficulty of defining who is Christian: Check out my previous episodes on this topic... --> https://www.psalmstogod.com/2023/01/who-can-rightfully-call-themselves.html --> https://www.psalmstogod.com/2022/02/are-you-christian.html Show Notes: https://www.psalmstogod.com/2024/10/unmarried-at-36-what-no-one-tells-you.html Website: www.psalmstogod.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/psalms_to_god SoundCloud: @psalmstogod YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/psalmstodgod

  6. Christian Nationalism

    Christian Nationalism

    “19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, 20 idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. ” 📚 Galatians 5:17-23 NASB Christian Nationalism is on the rise in the US and is front and center in the coming election. I've been working through history and prophecy to get to a discussion on this topic centered around how it relates to prophecy. There's a lot of material to work through so I wanted to just dive right in. We'll come back to this topic after we get through all the prophecies to tie everything together. For now, let just use the basics to talk about the reason separation of church and state is actually a good thing. In this episode I mention paganism creeping in the church: Check out my previous episodes on this topic... --> https://www.psalmstogod.com/2019/04/passover-resurrection.html --> https://www.psalmstogod.com/2020/08/why-do-i-keep-sabbath.html --> https://www.psalmstogod.com/2020/09/church-hurt.html --> https://www.psalmstogod.com/2020/10/come-out-of-her-my-people.html Show Notes: https://www.psalmstogod.com/2024/10/christian-nationalism.html Website: www.psalmstogod.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/psalms_to_god SoundCloud: @psalmstogod YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/psalmstodgod
