“The battle is the Lord’s”, but the fight is yours s29e47 Dt20:1
Today, Be READY for a fight.—perhaps temptation; evil, sickness, or even a grief.But, be ready to have the Lord go with you into battle.It is not “let go and let God”, more like, LET'S GET GOING WITH GOD.The battle is the Lord’s, but the fight is yours.Or at least ½ yours. He fights with you. He let's you fight.The battle is the Lord’s, AND the fight is yours. AND the fight is His. subscribe for more fisticuffs tomorrow.

“Putting out” your own children S29e43 dt18
Join me in squirming as we hear of a couple of cultures who "put out" their own children. That is, those in charge of certain infants, put them out into the elements to deliberately kill their own children. The Israelites encountered it when they arrived at the promised land.I encountered it on a recent tour of Iceland. And what shall we say of our current culture? Would we stand blameless before God as to how we treat the helpless children amongst us? Listen and find out. Fortunately, Innocent Jesus is available to all who have hurt the innocent. https://youtu.be/5W1Sg6DWYDg
Acerca de Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
Be With Me is a daily 7 minute chronological walk through the New Testament hosted by Michael Smith. It is for everyone who is curious about what Jesus actually said and did in the gospels. Most episodes will leave you with at least one good thought to chew on for the rest of the day. We start with the Bible and hopefully end with Awe. We are walking through the chronological events of Jesus' life and then thoughtfully considering them. It is meant to spur the devotional life of the Christian and the not-yet-Christian. We occasionally venture into the Old Testament when it helps our understanding of the New Testament events. Everybody has 7 minutes. Everybody needs to wonder. Be With Me is hosted by Michael Smith who has absolutely no special qualifications to do a podcast. He is not a pastor. He has not been to seminary. He does not lead a mega-church. He is not a professional and he has no more credentials than you do. He does, however, follow a great God with an observant eye and a curious heart. Each day, he starts with a study bible and aims for astonishment. ‘be with him’ for 7 minutes as he sets out daily to discover the God who invites us to ‘Be With Me.’
