A highlight from Nail Rehab: How to Repair Damage from Gel, Powder and Acrylic Manicures!
"This is the RPD podcast where we are always reaching for truth in beauty. Remember the brands on the show are not paying to be here. So we get to ask them honest questions because you deserve to be informed so you can make the best choices for yourself with that. I'm Amber and today my fabulous co -host is Dr. Dana Stern. She is a board certified dermatologist and a nail expert and we are going to drill her. No pun intended today on all things nail care. This is especially for you out there who love your gels. Just like I do. You're going to want to listen up. But first of all, thank you so much for being with us today, Dr. Dana. Thanks so much for that warm intro, Amber. And by the way, right off the cuff, I do not like nail drills. So, yes, that was a great way to start and get me a little amped up. This is good. And I want to talk to you. I mean, so I think that so many people listen. I've been going to the nail salon since I was a teenager. And, you know, I used to do the acrylic nail. You're going to cringe on the acrylic nails and then gels partially because my hands have to be on camera so much. And so, you know, I've taken them off a couple of times right now. I'm actually in rehab for my gel nails with just regular polish. But when you take them off, you realize, oh, my God. Yes, absolutely. So what is it about, you know, wearing things like gel or acrylic or even just regular polish that are so damaging to our nails? So you're absolutely right. Most of the damage from those kind of enhancements, the gels, the acrylics, the dips, comes from actually the removal process. And believe it or not, there are real scientific studies in the literature. One of my nail colleagues did a great study when the soap off gels were becoming a big thing where they demonstrated that with ultrasound, actually technology, they used ultrasound to measure the thickness of the nails post gel. And it turned out that they actually do thin the nail plate. So what we know is and what you've observed with your own nails is that if you're somebody who does that kind of process repetitively, as opposed to, you know, the occasional I'm going to in a way wedding or I'm going on vacation, eventually most people will see some signs of damage. And most of that is from the removal. And the removal process can be highly variable, depending upon nail technician. Even within a salon, nail techs have different techniques. There's different products. You're not theoretically supposed to mix different components from different products. So that can actually make the product more challenging to remove. And sometimes as a customer, you don't even realize what they're using, per se. You're just kind of focused on the color. So removal process for sure. Whether they're scraping, drilling, as you mentioned, or long acetone soaks, all of that is going to, with repetition, affect the health of your nails. And I love the fact that you're rehabbing. We can talk about that. You know, on that, though, because you mentioned a couple things. So when you're saying that when you were using different components, that would be your base coat, your color coat, and then your top coat. If they're from different brands, that can sort of be more damaging than if it was all used from the same line. Yes. And don't forget, this is all product chemistry. So these products are made to work together, and then they have very specific instructions as to how they're supposed to be ideally removed. And these product developers are studying this in detail. You know, they're doing consumer tests where they're testing what's the easiest and least damaging way to remove them. So following the manufacturer's instructions is actually pretty important. So, you know, just like we have to rehab over -processed dry hair. I mean, we've all been there, right? Where we've overdone the heat or the dye. We have to do the same for our nails. And the timing of that is going to really depend on the level of damage and kind of what you're doing. If you're doing a, you know, twice a year soak off gel, you're probably not going to need as much TLC as somebody who's constantly taking them on and off. So let's, before we move on to the rehab part, let's talk about some of these different types of nail things. So when it comes to gel and acrylic, you know, you mentioned at the top of the show, you're anti -drill, but I mean, that's, I have to be honest, it's the way that most of the technicians that I've ever been to in many different salons remove it probably because it's less time consuming for them. With respect to acrylics, I mean, that's pretty much the norm. With soak off gels, you can be more patient and let the product kind of dissolve with acetone, which is more ideal. But absolutely with acrylics often that's how they're removed. And the reason I don't, you know, I end up seeing a lot of damage in my office. The drills can put pressure against the cuticle. The cuticle directly overlies the nail growth plate, which is the nail matrix. And you can see part of that is the half moon, usually it's most visible on the thumbnails. And that's actually a delicate kind of membranous structure that is what produces the actual nail. And so if there's a lot of trauma in that area, you're going to end up seeing it as the nail grows out. So that's when if you've ever seen bumps and surface irregularities and even color irregularity, white patches, and you're saying to yourself, why do my nails look like this? It's from damage to the matrix. And that's usually from aggressive removal of whatever it was that you were wearing on your nails. You know, for everybody who is listening there, and you know, I want to speak, I'm sure there are some people who never would do gels, right, who really care about their nails. There are some people who just do that all the time. In fact, I was sitting with somebody telling them I'm rehabbing and she's like, why, when you throw the gel on, you're not going to see underneath anyway. And I was like, yeah, but there's got to be some long -term effects there. So on that, you know, for people who just continuously do it and do it and do it, are there things that can happen long -term? So I'm really glad you mentioned that. I just want to, as an aside, mention that that is what I call cosmetic camouflage. And that's just, you know, hide the issue, cover it up and move on. And since I'm a doctor, I just want to throw this in. It is very important for you to occasionally see your nails. And it is very important for your physician to see your nails because your nails are a big part of your health. And so for that person you're referring to, who never has kind of naked bare nails, God forbid there's something serious going on on those nails or reflective of an internal issue. So this is just a little, my kind of medical interjection here that when you go for your annual skin check, take off all your nail polish, take off your gels and make sure that your physician can properly examine your nails. I had a patient in, I trained at Mount Sinai and I will never forget, I had a young woman who was covering up a melanoma because it was ugly with acrylics. So that's just a little aside. We'll get back to you. That's like very Dr. House though, right? I mean, I feel like those episodes where he'd be like, they couldn't figure out what was wrong. And then he's like, look between the toes or look on the nails, look under the acrylics. You know, that's important though. That's why we interview experts like you and something to be thinking about when you go for your yearly checkup to make sure that they can look at your nails. I know I just went for my dermatologist, my skin check. Oh, good for you.

A highlight from Grieving Over Perishing Souls
"Romans chapter 9, our portion is verses 1 through 5. These are God's words. I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart, for I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh, who are Israelites, to whom predain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises, of whom are the fathers, and from whom according to the flesh Christ came, who is overall the eternally blessed God. Amen. Amen. So far the reading of God's inspired and inerrant word. What the apostle is describing here is truly an amazing grace. He is not speaking like a pagan speaks, whose yes is not yes, and whose no is not no, and statements in the first verse. He's doing so not because there's any question as to whether or not what he's saying is true. He's speaking as an apostle, and he's writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and he knows it's true, and he knows we know it's true, and that he uses these four oath type statements to communicate the greatness, the amazingness of the grace that God has worked in his heart. You remember what he was like when he was on the other side, when he opposed the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, when he was outside of Christ, although a member of the visible church, and how he was full of hatred and murder. Now he is the object of that hatred, and has many times been the attempted object of that murder, and yet he does not reciprocate in kind. He loves them with profound, great love. He even desires their salvation so much that if it were possible, he would be willing to give up his own. And so he gives us these four statements. I tell the truth in Christ. Number one, I am not lying. Number two, my conscience bears me witness. Number three, in the Holy Spirit. Number four, and we could even make in Christ a fifth component stacking up these statements that this is an actual reality of what God has worked in his heart, and it's a reality that has been produced by the Holy Spirit through union with Jesus Christ, which means it's a reality that is available to us as well. That the God who worked such grace in the heart of the chief of sinners will work by the same grace in the hearts of all of us great sinners. So the first thing to see here is that it is an amazing grace. The second thing to see is what that grace produces, because in an age when there are those who are perishing, in an age when there are those who are opposing Christ and denying the glory of God, and in an age when these are found not only outside the church but even in the church, and in particular at this time in the church that is the visible church constituted at Sinai, Israel, and that is not only covenantally Israel but also ethnically Israel, the Israel that is according to the flesh, the Israel that is biologically inclusive of the fathers, especially Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but not just Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, those other fathers who came from them and were descended from them according to the flesh, and then from whom even the Lord Jesus is descended according to the flesh. Even among these there are those who are perishing in their sins who are currently accursed apart from Christ. This is an age in which grace produces not only joy but also sorrow, where the Spirit produces in us not only joy in the Lord, rejoice in the Lord always, but also sorrow. Mourn with those who mourn and look at the type of sorrow, not just sorrow verse 2 but great grief, and not just great sorrow and continual grief that is superficially displayed but that is from the heart and felt deeply in the heart. If we are looking for an experience of God that does not include great grief and continual sorrow in the heart, then we are looking for a different experience of God than the Holy Spirit produced from Christ in the heart of the Apostle Paul. But it's important that we see what this grief is over, because a man who continually goes around grieved because the creation that is broken is not serving his appetites and his whims like he wished, does not have the grief and sorrow here. The grief and sorrow here is especially over the perishing souls of sinners, and particularly perishing souls of sinners from either A. Covenantal Israel, the visible church, or B. Ethnic Israel, which is no longer now the visible church but continues to be precious because of what God has done through them and who belongs to them. So the first thing we see in verse 1 is the greatness. The greatness of this gracious work. And verse 2, the second thing we see is the grief that is of this gracious work. And verse 3, which we already began to cover the cause or the extent of this grief even. For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ, anathema from Christ, under the wrath of God, and separated from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh, who are Israelites. Now we're going to get to those for whom he is thus grieved. But you hear what he's saying. He says, I wish I could be damned after having been saved. I wish I could be separated from Christ. And of course, or I could wish, not I do wish. The intensity of his desire is that if it were possible, he would be willing to give up his salvation. He would be willing to be separated from Christ in order for all of the Israel, the Israelites to be saved, which is an amazing thing for him to say because he knows that this isn't God's intention. He can't be separated from Christ. Nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, the love of Christ. What can separate us from the love of Christ? Answer, nothing, because he's God. And nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus. And yet he speaks in this way. So great is his earnestness that they would be saved, that they would not perish. And I wonder how far we could possibly have made it in grace, how far along we possibly could be in grace, in maturing, in conformity to Christ, if that which was in Christ desiring the salvation. Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. That which was in Stephen as he was conformed to Christ, the last verse there in Acts chapter 7, where Stephen prays for his murderers as he dies. And now one of those murderers praying with this intensity and wishing that even he could be accursed for the sake of those who hate him. How affected, how afflicted are we by the lost condition of many in the churches, the lost condition of those whom God has providentially assigned a closeness to us in the flesh, our relatives who are lost, the lost condition of Israel in large measure. Now not all Israel, praise God, just as Paul is going to say in a moment, I too am an Israelite, there are some few who are converted, and yet so many, so many who are ethnically related to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and even Jesus, and yet they are perishing in their sin. They are apart from Christ. They are going to hell. Paul says he wished that he could be accursed for their sake. We can hardly remember to pray for them, let alone making any effort or contributing in some way to an attempt to gather them to send someone as an ambassador on behalf of Christ, announcing, pleading with them to be reconciled to God through the Lord Jesus Christ. And so there is a great intensity here that challenges us and should drive us to look to God the Holy Spirit to provide in us the same earnestness, the same zeal for the salvation of lost sinners, and particularly the salvation of Israelites on two counts. One covenantal, which you see in verse four, and the other one ethnic, which you see in verse five. And so you don't get out of viewing Israel as special just because the natural branches have been cut off from the tree. You don't get out of having a special love for and interest in and desire for the salvation of the Jews just because they have rejected the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus himself didn't set us that example on the cross. But now the double logic of verse four and verse five also do not let us get away with that. So he is referring to his countrymen according to the flesh. My brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh. He's not talking about brothers in Christ. He is describing the Jews. This is what he means when he says my countrymen according to the flesh. He means the Jews, but they are up until this point. The 70 AD has not come yet. They are still the visible church, as it were. And there's this transition that's taking place, of course, because the great prophet and the great high priest and the forever king has come. And if Messiah comes and they reject him, and there are many Jews spread throughout the world who are being given at the time that Paul writes this, the opportunity to acknowledge the anointed, the Messiah, the messiah, the Christ. And some, many, are receiving him, and many others, of course, are rejecting him. And so it's still the church. It's still a covenant entity. And you see that here. Who are Israelites, verse four, to whom pertain the adoption, and this especially is referring to Exodus chapter 4 and Jeremiah 31 and Hosea 11, in which God refers to Israel as his son. And so the first time we heard of God as father, it was not with Christ as the son in whom we know him supremely as father, but it was with Israel as an adopted son. So to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, they are the ones who saw his glory at Sinai. And then also that special display of his glory in Exodus 24, where the glory of God appeared on the mountain and the elders went up and they ate. They saw the Lord and they ate and drank in his presence and they didn't die. And to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, plural, recognizing that the covenant that was made with Moses or with Israel under Moses at Sinai and the implied covenant, which is later referred to definitely as a covenant with David in 2 Samuel 7, are multiple administrations of a single covenant of grace. And so the covenant that was implied in the covenant of grace, even in Genesis 3 in the wake of the fall, the covenant with Noah in Genesis 9, the covenant with Abraham in Genesis 12 and 15 and 17, and later with Isaac and with Jacob, that all of these administrations of the covenant of grace come down to us now in the covenant under the Lord Jesus through Sinai, through Jerusalem. And so to them pertain the covenants, the giving of the law, not only the terms of the covenant in each successive administration of the covenant of grace, but particularly the of expression who God is and what God is like. And so the applications to us of the implications of who God is, the service of God, the only right way to worship God and come near him, which we've been hearing so much about in the second half of Exodus and the first half of Leviticus and the tabernacle. This was the one people among whom God made himself redemptively known and gathered people close to him to worship him. And of course, that way of coming to him all pointed forward to Christ and the promises. Last thing in verse 4. So all of those things that God had said, beginning with Moses ending from Genesis to Malachi, those things that Jesus opened about himself to the people, to the two men on the road to Emmaus. And in Luke 24, the things that Paul showed and proved from all the scriptures, all of those promises of Christ. And so he lists all of these covenant advantages they've had, advantages that we now partake of, but they are rejecting these advantages. He's agonizing over them as those who had belonged to God covenantally and through whom we now have all of these covenant benefits. But they're not just Israelites covenantally, which they are at risk of losing and rejecting at this time and when Romans 9 is written and which indeed would be completed. But they may yet be grafted in and we are to desire and pray and labor that they would be grafted in because they are still precious to us, even just ethnically. And that's where he goes in verse 5. Of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came. So even apart from their covenantal standing, they're precious to us for their flesh connection to the Lord Jesus Christ, for their flesh connection to those believers that we have in that wonderful list and retelling in Hebrews chapter 11. Just like you and I, when we hear about someone who's an unbeliever, we should always be grieved in our heart for them. But when it's someone that is a member of our church, someone that we love as a brother or sister and have a closeness to, there's a greater grief and there's a greater sorrow and a greater interest. Well, the Jews are descended from fathers in the faith who are precious to us. And so the Jews are precious to us for their sake. But there's one who is even more precious to us. And they are related to him in that ethnic and genetic, if we can speak that way, sort of way. From whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, as we heard at the beginning of the book of Romans, the Son of God, but also the Son of David, according to the flesh. And so they are precious to us for Jesus' sake. We have a Jewish redeemer. And so we ought to grieve over and desire, grieve over their lost condition, desire their salvation, have a special love for them that continues, even after they have been cut off. You see, Christ has always been the true Israel. He is the true Israel from Genesis 3, even before there is a quote -unquote Israel, throughout the Old Testament. And of course, now he is all the more plainly so. And yet there are many who have been cut off from him and for whom we should long that they be grafted back into him. This despising or hostility or animosity that many believers indulge towards Jewish people does not come from Jesus, does not come from the Jesus who has reproduced his heart and mind toward the Jews and Stephen. It does not come from the Jesus who has reproduced his heart and mind in Paul. And Paul, whom now by the Holy Spirit writes to us of how we should have great sorrow and continual grief in our heart for those who are our kinsmen according to the flesh, those who are in the covenant but not of it, gospel hypocrites or false professors in the church, and still for the Jews themselves. It is part of what the Holy Spirit produces when he does an amazing work of grace in the heart. Amen. Let's pray. Father in heaven, we thank you for this part of your instruction. We thank you for how it even connects to current events. And we do pray that that which is going on now would be means by which you alarm those Jews who are outside of Christ. We know, Lord, that the way that you bring them to faith is through the preaching of your word and even through jealousy when those from other nations are brought to their great prophet and great high priest and forever king. And we do pray especially for the Christians who are persecuted from both sides in that conflict. But just now, Lord, we pray that your spirit would guard our hearts and minds and that he would produce in us the mind and heart of Christ that we see reflected in the apostle here, that we would so desire their salvation as that we could wish to be accursed from Christ ourselves for their sake. Lord, help us, for we are not so brokenhearted over the perishing from all the nations as we ought to be. And so we pray for your spirit to apply this portion of your word to our hearts. We ask in Jesus name. Amen.

A highlight from Matthew: Emmanuel (Which Means God With Us)
"You know, there is a world of difference between saying to someone that I am for you and telling them that I am with you. These two things do not mean the same thing. There's a world of difference between telling someone, I'm for you, I'm in your corner, I'm rooting you on, you've got this. There's a world of difference between telling someone that and telling them, I'm with you. In World War I, there was a lieutenant. His troops were getting ready to go over the edge. They were ready to take on the enemy. They were ready to cross the trenches. And this lieutenant, he's anxious. He's nervous about what might happen, and he sees a commander coming down through the trenches. The commander looks at this man, and he can see the anxiety. He can see the nerves there, and so he comes alongside him, puts his arm on him, and he points out. He points out to where they're going. He points out to no man's land. And he tells them, when we go out there, I'm going to be with you. We're going to do this together. And that gave the younger man a sense of confidence. It wasn't the old grizzled veteran just saying, you got this, from a distance, and go do it. Rather, he was saying, I'm going to be with you as you do it. I'm with you in the trenches, and I'm going to be with you in the battle yet to come. As we said, it's one thing to tell someone I'm for you. That's easy. You can do that to anyone. It's another thing to say, I'm going to invest myself in the outcome of what you're going through. I'm going to enter into the crucible of your pain with you, at your side. There's a comfort when a commander or a general does it, but how much more so when a god does that. When god not only gives us a word and says, hey, you got this. I'm for you. I'm in your corner. But rather when he says, I am with you as you face this. There's something encouraging about that. In today's text, it's exactly what we see. In today's reading, the birth of this child, the one who had come from a throne down to a manger. In this text, we see that this one was to be named Immanuel. That this one was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. And that his name literally means God with us. God with us. Not just God for us, but God with us. Verse 23 of our text will say, behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son. They shall call his name Immanuel, which means God with us. This is one of the primary attributes, one of the primary things that makes our god cool, that makes our god awesome. One of the primary things is because he didn't just create the cosmos, spin it like a top, and then go off and watch us from a distance to see how things would turn out. Rather, from the get -go, from Jump Street, from the garden, that which he created, he dwells with. He creates Adam, he creates Eve, and then he walks and talks with them in the cool of the afternoon. The pagan gods didn't do this sort of thing. They didn't pay attention necessarily to everything that was going on. The god of the deists, the people who think that God is just this aloof god out in the cosmos somewhere that has nothing to do with us, who wants that kind of god? Thank God that's not the god we have. Rather, we have a god who is with us in the midst of everything we're going through. This was true in the garden. It was true at Sinai. It was true in the tabernacle. It was true in the temple. That's true for even us as New Testament believers because where does God reside now? God is with us. Do you know how the book of Matthew closes? Do you know what the very last verse is? Here we see as Jesus is introduced, his name means, I'm with you, God with us, the very last verse in the book of Matthew, the very last block of text in the book of Matthew says the same thing. In the Great Commission, we see this. Go therefore, make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, teaching them to serve all the things I've commanded you, and lo, I am with you even to the end of the age. You see that? There's a bookend. The moment Jesus is introduced in chapter 1, the message is that God has come down from the throne to be with his people. And then prior to his ultimate ascension, he says the same thing because I'm going to leave my helper. Oh, and by the way, I am with you even to the end of the age. That's a God we can love. That's a God we can worship. A God who is not just for us but a God who is with us. All right, if you would, let's look at verses 18 and 19. We're going to talk about the God who is with us as we see of his birth. In verses 18 and 19, we're going to see what was going on with Mary Joseph, and then we're going to work our way through the text as time will allow. Okay, verses 18 and 19. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. All right, at the start of this passage, we see something just very ordinary, something as natural as natural can be. There's a woman, an individual who's pregnant, a pregnancy that will lead to childbirth. Very natural, happens all the time. However, in these verses, we see that there's something unnatural or at least unusual that's going to take place. Verse 18 adds an unordinary qualifier. It says that there's going to be a pregnancy, normal, but in this case it will occur without physical union. Now I'm not a physician, but I have studied anatomy and the like, and I know that's just not the way that this works. Well, verse 18, we're seeing the seeds for something that we call the virgin birth, and this is one of the most important things to understand with regards to Christ's birth, with regards to the incarnation, because this is not an average everyday event. Rather, this is a miracle, and it's not just a miracle, but it's a fulfillment of prophecy, because Isaiah said this is the way it was going to go down. Behold, there be a virgin who would give birth to a child. Now verse 18 clarifies it. It's not Joseph's child, and for these verses, we know this much. They're betrothed, but there's been no physical union then. Now if you've seen Fiddler on the Roof, you remember the matchmaker? Remember the matchmaker? Well, they had similar things throughout Jewish history. They would have a season in which people were brought together. This was tradition. They were brought together by matchmakers and parents and others. They were put into a union, and yet there was a year. I know you want to sing it. There was a year of time after they were brought together in which they were sort of betrothed. We might consider it engaged. It's not really a point -for -point analogy, but they were betrothed. They spent a year in this estate prior to physical union. That's what's going on here. It's actually much stronger than an engagement. This is a strong relationship that they have, and yet it has not been consummated physically at this point. And so, all of a sudden, out of the blue, Mary is with child. Uh -oh. Now, we have lost touch with the word scandal. We really have. I mean, dear heavens, everything is a scandal. It doesn't matter what news. Whatever you pick up, there's a scandal on every page from every direction. It seems like every aspect of celebrity or politics or athletics or what have you, scandal, scandal, scandal. We've lost touch with it. In fairness, it didn't always used to be this way. If you're watching a TV show, if Barney Fife stole part of Andy Griffith's sandwich, they can make a whole scandalous episode out of that. There was things in the past that seemed scandalous at the time that now it's absolutely nothing. We've lost touch with scandal to the point we look at this text, and we don't understand what Joseph's going through. And his culture and his time, what he and Mary were just experiencing. She's pregnant, and there's no father. There's been no physical union. He is betrothed to someone who's pregnant, doesn't know what's going on. This was a scandal of scandals. And in his day, based on an understanding of Deuteronomy, this could even have led to her death. This was not a small thing. This is a huge, huge event that's taking place. And so, in verses 18 and 19, we see Joseph in the middle of a conundrum. He's betrothed to this individual who has this situation going on. He doesn't know how it happened. He doesn't know exactly what's going on, but he has concern. Now, he cares for Mary enough that he doesn't want to see this become the public spectacle that it otherwise very well could be. And so he attempts to find some way to accommodate her well -being, but apart from being able to marry her, because he's a just man, and there's obviously been in his mind an infidelity that's taken place that would disqualify that union. Now, before he could act on that impulse, an angel intervenes. Let's look at verses 20 and 21 to see what happens in this intervention. Verse 20, but while he thought about these things, while Joseph thought about all this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she'll bring forth a son, you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. All right. As we said in verses 18 and 19, Joseph and Mary, Mary is now pregnant. Joseph is trying to figure out what to do. And in verse 20, we see that while he's contemplating, which I'm sure this took some time for him to work this through, but while he's thinking about these things, he goes to sleep. He's worried, he's anxious, he falls asleep, and in the midst of his sleep, an angel of the Lord comes to him in a vision, in a dream. And this happens at other intervals as scripture as well. And when the angel comes to Joseph, it's a simple message. It says, Joseph, what you think has happened is not accurate. But let me tell you, you're worried you should take Mary as your wife. You shouldn't be. Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Now, I don't know what kind of theologian Joseph was at this point. We believe him to be older than Mary, but we don't know what kind of theologian he was. But whatever his theology was, he probably didn't fully understand that last statement. That which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Joseph didn't have John Calvin around to explain all the Trinitarian implications of this. And I imagine Joseph had more questions than answers, even when he hears this news. And yet he knew this much, even if he didn't have all the Trinity figured out at this time, even if he doesn't know what it means for the Spirit to overshadow her, even if he's still going, what does that mean? He at least knew this much, that Mary's pregnancy was not a function of her sin. He knew that there was not some other father in some tent down the street. He knew that the child that she was pregnant with was from God. And some way that he probably couldn't fully articulate, but he knew it was from God. And then God, through the angel, tells Joseph what to name him. Now naming rites in Jewish culture or any culture come from seats of authority. If you think about it in the garden, in the garden, Adam and Eve, you know, they're given the garden and all the animals are frolicking about as animals do. And Adam and Eve had a job, they actually had a couple of jobs. One was to take dominion over that which God had given them, and another thing was to do what for the animals? To name them, right? The greater names, the lesser, right? That's why parents named children are not children naming parents. Kind of glad it doesn't work that way. In this case, we see that God himself, through the angel, takes ownership over the name of his own son. It's not up to Joseph to name. He says his name will be Jesus. His name will be Jesus. We'll see that a little bit more in the verses yet to come. Whatever the case here is, the idea is that as this child is born of the Holy Spirit, this child comes with a purpose. His name will be Jesus because Jesus means what? It means the Lord is salvation. His person is yoked to his work. The angel identifies his person and his origins from God, the Holy Spirit, but he also identifies here's what he's come to do, and we're going to see that a little bit more in the verses yet to come. What we're also going to notice here, just a minute, is that when the angel talks about who will come to save his people from their sins, remember last week we talked about this. The people didn't necessarily have a problem with their sins. You know what the great irony is? You give someone a cure for a disease they don't think they have. If you come running up to someone on the streets of Gulfport with a vial of some cure, some medicine, or what have you, for a disease they don't understand they got, they'll just say, you crossed the other side of the street. They won't care because they don't recognize what you're holding is the cure for a problem that they have. The same is true with sin. The culture around us doesn't really think they have a problem with sin, and if they do think sin is a problem, they do this thing that's convenient. They redefine sin to be something that is external to them, a problem other people have. Whatever the case, when people had no understanding that they need to be saved from sin, if anything that they need to be saved from, it was going to be from Rome, which is what we talked about last week. Their fear, their concern, Joseph's concern, Mary's concern, the people down the street's concern was not so much that, oh, my sin is going to get me. And yet, that was the spiritual guillotine that was over their necks and ours apart from this child that was born. Every man, woman, and child has stood condemned under sin. You read the Book of Romans, the first five, six chapters, as Paul is condemning the human race and saying, well, this is our problem. Then, of course, he introduces the solution. Well, the angel introduced the solution too and says, this one has come not just to make your life better, not just to pour a little Jesus seasoning on things to give you your best life now. This one came to this end, to this object, to save you from your sins, to save you from a problem that you might not even understand that you have and that our culture certainly doesn't understand it has. That's why he came, and here's the thing. That's what the whole Old Testament said he would do. The Old Testament said when he shows up, when the Messiah we've been waiting from since Genesis 3 .15, when the seed shows up, he will come to save people from their sins, not what they were looking for in the first century, not what they were looking for in the 21st century. And yet the Old Testament prophecy said that's the guy to look out for, one who is not what you expect, one who will come to save you from your sins, one who is not going to come down on a red carpet from God, but will be born in a place like a manger. Isaiah 53, one of the most famous chapters that speaks to these issues, says this. This one would be wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace would be upon him. By his stripes we'll be healed. All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to our own way, and the Lord has laid upon him the iniquity of us all. The angel got it, and he says in the manger, Joseph, and in the womb of Mary right now is the one that has come to do just that. And the cruel irony is the people won't be looking for that. As he gets older, they'll reject him. They'll reject what he came to do, and yet this is the one. This is the child. All right, let's take a look now at verses 22 through 25 and just kind of build on this case. Okay, verse 22. So all this was done, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Lord through the prophets, saying, Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son. They shall call his name Immanuel, which is translated God with us. Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took to him his wife, and did not know her until she had brought forth her firstborn son, and he called his name Jesus. All right, as we just said a moment ago, Christ's person is yoked to his work. The great problem in our age is that our culture doesn't do the same thing. At Christmastime in December, you just watch, people don't have a real problem with the person of Jesus so much. They like cute Jesus, even divine Jesus. That's not really the problem. The problem is his work. He came to convict us of our sins, to turn our hearts to God, to cause us to repent, and to rescue us from sins that most of us don't acknowledge that we have. But in this text, the angel spells it all out. He says this is the reason he's coming. This is the reason he's coming, in order to save them from their sins. And as he saves them from their sins, he will be the fulfillment of prophecies that said he would do just that, which is why even the angel quotes the Old Testament here. End of verse 23. Behold, the virgin shall be with child, shall bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel, which is translated God with us. There's a continuity you're supposed to see with that which is written down recorded in the Old Testament and that which comes on the scene here in Matthew chapter 1. God wants us to see that, and Matthew was desperate that his contemporaries saw it. Remember, their problem when they killed Jesus was they didn't recognize him for who he was. I mean, they had other issues too, but that was chief among them. They just didn't know what they were doing. Isn't that what Jesus said? Father, forgive them. They don't know what they're doing. Same idea. They had a Messiah on their radar that they wanted, and it wasn't this one, this guy. So at Matthew, when he's writing chapter 1, when he's writing to the Jews, he started with the genealogies we talked about last week, and he said, all right, this Jesus is going to be a son of Abraham, which makes him a Jew, and it's going to be a son of David, which makes him a king, or in the line of kings. His objective was to tell the Jewish audience who this Jesus was. Well, here, as chapter 1 continues, he gives the biography even more so, and he says that this one, this Jesus, which means God is salvation, is also named Immanuel, which is an Old Testament prophecy that means God with us. Matthew's making the case, even here in chapter 1, clearly in chapter 1, to a Jewish audience, that this is the Jewish Messiah. Now, would that be compelling? Well, to some, yes. To others, not so much. Now, the past 15 minutes or so, we've quoted Isaiah a few times. I think I referenced Malachi as well, but there in verses 22 through 25, we see the reference again to Isaiah more acutely, more specifically, and this is a reference that to the Jewish audience should have resonated with him, but again, as we just said a moment ago, the irony is that it didn't. The reason that's ironic is this. Matthew knew that many of his fellow Jews had rejected Jesus while simultaneously longing for a Messiah, and his objective here in chapter 1 is to say, hey, guys, they're the one and the saint. The one you rejected is the one you were looking for, and that's what Peter does in Acts 2. He tells the Pharisees, you know the one you killed, the one you nailed to a tree, the one you hung on the cross? That was him, and when they finally get it in the book of Acts, when they finally get that, what happens to them? Scripture says they're just broken to the heart because then they understand what they did. They understand that the light of life had come to them. They didn't recognize it, and then they killed them. As we look to wrap up, we're going to build on all these things as we head towards baptism, as we go towards the temptation, and the things that are going to follow in the book of Matthew, but as we wrap up, I want to return briefly to the word Emmanuel, which we've already established means God with us. Now, earlier I used the term, the term deus. Let me explain briefly. I know many of us know it, but let me explain briefly for those who don't. Every culture, when it comes to religion, there's two camps that they fall in. One, assuming that they believe in God at all, one is the camp of the deist. That camp believes God exists, but we can't know him. He formed the world around us, but then he went off and he does his thing and we do ours. That's deism. As Christians, we're not deists. The alternate is what we call theism. Theism posits that God exists, but you can know him, and what's more, he wants you to know him. You and I are theists, and if you drill into that term even more, we're monotheists. We believe in one God. We're not polytheists that believe in a lot of them. We believe that there is a God. You can have a relationship with him. There is a God and there is just one. Now, that's highly desirable because the alternative is you have a God you can't know that doesn't care about you, and that's what a lot of agnostics in our day do. They go, I think there might be a God somewhere, but they really don't think you can have a relationship with him. Who wants that? Who desires that? Well, the picture in Matthew 1 and throughout the book of Matthew, the picture that's painted here is completely different. It's not about a God who formed the cosmos and went away. Rather, it's a God who is ever -present with creation and undergoes the life experiences, the human experiences that we do up to and including birth. You have a God that can relate to you. You know, one of the greatest hardships or plagues on our age is the plague of loneliness. It's this idea that no one can relate to what I'm going through. The life circumstances have conspired in such a way that I'm going through something that no one can really understand, no one can really relate to, and then there's an isolation that comes with that, even a withdrawal. Maybe some people withdraw from us, and then we're left in this estate. Some of us, maybe many of us, are left in a state of loneliness, maybe for a season, maybe for a lifetime, and it's the hardest thing if you've experienced it. If that's you or someone you know, this message of God with us, and this word of manual should hold a special meaning. Others leave might us, others might forsake us, others might let us down, and yet the God who walked with Adam and Eve, when there was just two of them in the cool of the afternoon, walks with us still. Even we're just one of us. God is with us no matter what we're going through. He's not just munching popcorn, watching what you're going through this week. Some of us have a picture of God that He's up there in the clouds somewhere with a long beard, a long robe, and He's just kind of doing this to see what we do, and He's ready to punish us and the like, and He's there and we're here, and there's this distance. That's not the God of Scripture. The God of Scripture is a God who is intimate and close and wants to be close to you and wants your hand to fit in His. He doesn't call you a peon in the kingdom of heaven. He calls you a son or daughter, and that has meaning. What father or mother among us has not held the hand of our child and felt that proximity, felt that closeness, felt that bond, felt that unity that comes with holding your own? Well, that's what God wants with you. And even now, even if we've been fleeing from Him, His arms are open to this. He came as a babe and a manger, the most defenseless thing that you can possibly come. He came from a state of great glory into a state of great hardship, great difficulty. It would ultimately lead to His death, and yet He did it because He loves His people. He's not indifferent to us. He's not indifferent to us. The other problem that we can sometimes verge into is we can think that He's indifferent to me, but He's cool with other Christians, but I've done something that is so egregious or He knows my past or He knows the things I did yesterday because of that there's this gap. If there's any gap in your walk with God, it's not because He's drifted away from you. It's because you're pushing Him away. The God of this book does not withdraw from children, from sons and daughters, but He's like the parable of the prodigal son. His arms are open wide. Matthew 1, God with us. Matthew 28, God with us. Behold, I am with you even to the end of the age. Whatever you face this week, this book is not an abstract thing that just applies to other religious people or you on occasion. It applies to you today. God's with you as you face whatever you're facing, whatever hardship you're walking down, whatever valley you're traversing, God is with you, and that's a great encouragement of Scripture, and no other faith can present it except this alone. God is with us. We see it in Matthew 1. We're going to see it in Matthew 2 and the balance of the book. Let's pray. Join Dr. Toby Holt and Dr. Dominic Aquila for a tour of Israel in February of 2024.

Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from The Great Commission: Our Calling & Promise
"I just want to say welcome to all of our visitors. We're so glad that the Lord has led you this way. We hope something will be said to encourage you, and we're so glad to have you with us. As we gather today, let's remember we're not just a group of people meeting in a building. We are the church, the bride of Christ, the called -out ones, given a glorious mission by our risen Savior. That said, I want to draw your attention to a familiar passage that, while often cited, it never loses its gravity or significance. So in your copy of God's Word, please turn with me to Matthew chapter 28, and we're going to pick up at verse 16. Today we are pulling away from John. As you know, we've been kind of working through John, and we are going to pick that up on next time. But considering we have several baptisms today, the elders thought that it would be helpful if we look at baptism and the Lord's Supper. And so we've chosen a portion of Scripture here to kind of allow us to think through. Maybe you are comfortable with knowing what it means to be baptized. Maybe you don't understand. Maybe it's not quite that clear. And today we hope to bring some clarity. And in this passage we find the risen Lord standing at the top of a mountain in Galilee, proclaiming His authority over heaven and earth. And with that unmatched authority, He gives the church her enduring mission. It's a mission that reaches the very heart of our identity as Reformed Baptists and our love for evangelism. It's fitting then that we examine this passage today not merely as a call to evangelize but to understand the profound connection between the Great Commission and the two sacred ordinances the Lord entrusted to His church, baptism and the Lord's Supper. These are not mere rituals or empty traditions, but they hold the weight and symbolism of our covenant relationship with God and our shared journey as believers. In we baptism witness an outward confession of an inward change. Today we're going to hear, we're going to witness that. And those who are among us who are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we're going to hear them today testify about how God has saved them. And so, baptism is an outward confession of an inward change. It is an affirmation of faith, a burial of the old life, and a resurrection of the new. It is the beginning of the journey, a first step in obedience to the command of the risen Savior. Today we will see this take place in our presence. Then, as we regularly gather at the Lord's table, we are reminded of the immense importance of His sacrifice and the hope of His return. The bread and the cup are a tangible reminder of the gospel message and our union with Christ. We are the only ones who are able to identify with Christ through the bread and the wine. It makes us who we are because the Lord Himself passed it down, instituted it to His church. And so we have the great privilege of being reminded of that unity we have with Christ. So, let us now look at the Word of God. Follow along with me as I read. Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you behold, and I am with you always to the end of the age. This is the Word of God. Let us pray. Our Lord and our God, we thank You for Your Word. We pray that You would help us to be able to understand what Your Word says, what it means. Speak to us where we are. Help us to know Your truth. Lead us and guide us and direct us as we understand Your Word, as we come and we're reminded of what Your Word says, as Your Spirit teaches us. We pray that we would be helped in such a way that we would leave here a changed people. Lord God, we pray also for the one who do not know You, that today might be the day of salvation. We pray, Lord, that You would cause Your Word to come alive in us, that we might go away and say, did not our hearts burn within as You visited with us? Lord, we ask all these prayers in Jesus' name, amen. Today's sermon is entitled, The Great Commission, Our Calling and Promise. I have four points. The first point, setting the stage. The second point is the authority of Christ. The third point is the command to discipleship. And our final point is the promise of His presence. So let's begin. Point number one, setting the stage. The text says, now the eleven disciples went to Galilee to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted. At this point in the narrative, there are only eleven disciples because Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus, is no longer among them. After Jesus' resurrection, they found, they followed His instructions to go to Galilee. The choice of Galilee is significant because it was here that Jesus conducted much of His earthly ministry. And it's away from the religious and political pressures of Jerusalem also. The specific mountain is not named, but the fact that Jesus gives them a specific location shows intentionality on His part. Mountains are often, we said before, have spiritual significance in biblical narratives. They are places of revelation, teaching, prayer, and encounter with God. For example, Moses on Mount Sinai, the transfiguration of Jesus on a mountain. Seeing the resurrected Jesus prompts an act of worship from the disciples. Worship indicates their reverence, their awe, and recognition of Jesus and His divinity. This is especially significant considering the Jewish context of the disciples. Worship was reserved for God alone. Their act of worshiping Jesus underscores their understanding of Him as the Son of God, despite witnessing the resurrected Jesus, seeing Him in the flesh. Some of the disciples harbored down. This is a fascinating and a very human moment in the narrative. It reveals that even those who walked closely with Jesus and witnessed His miracles still experience uncertainty or hesitation. Excuse me. Now, this could be due to the sheer astonishment of the resurrection event, or perhaps they were grappling with trying to reconcile the crucified Jesus with the now resurrected Jesus. And so this leads us to our next point. We're going to consider point number two, the authority of Christ. You see this in verse 18. In Matthew 28, 18, it states, And Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. The Lord Jesus declares that all authority both in heaven and on earth has been granted to Him. This is a profound statement that shows and underscores His divine nature and the completion of His earthly ministry. He's making sure that they know that He has supreme authority throughout the universe. In other words, what applied before don't exist now. It's as if the Lord is saying, My deity does not have restraints anymore. He says, I am sovereign, I am supreme ruler. In other words, He's saying, I have no limits, listen to me. He's speaking with His divine authority. If Jesus possesses all authority both in heaven and on earth, then His teachings, His commands and guidelines are of utmost importance. It's as if the captain walks on the deck, the general enters the building, we stand at attention when the King of Kings speak. And so the authority gives Him weight to His words and His directions. This requires a response in obedience. For believers, this means living in accordance with Jesus' teachings and as recorded in the Gospels and throughout the New Testament. So obedience becomes not just a duty, but a joyful response to the one who has the ultimate authority and has the best intentions for all humanity. Trust often arises from knowing that someone has the power and authority to bring about their promises. With Jesus having all authority, His promises become immensely trustworthy. In other words, it helps our faith amidst our uncertainties. Trusting in Jesus means believing even when circumstances seem contrary. But since He has authority over all things, believers can trust that He is in control. Even in chaotic or unpredictable situations. In other words, we aren't to be moved because we understand what our God has said and with the authority He meant it. Knowing Jesus has all authority provides comfort in times of difficulty. If He has authority over everything, then even the toughest situations fall under His sovereign control. But we must believe that. We must live it out. We must rely upon it. We must seek it out because we know that God is the one who's purposely holding all things together and He is working all things out. Can rest in that reality. He has it in control. He has the future in control. It doesn't matter what's in the bank accounts, how much we have saved up. It doesn't matter how loose our finances are. What matters is we understand that despite our shortcomings, Christ is still on the throne, still in control. And so He's speaking with that authority. Remember He's the sovereign one, the one who has just recently defeated death. And now He says, everything is under My control. And He's our God. He's our hope. He's our confidence. And so knowing Jesus has all authority provides the comfort we need in times of difficulty. He's in control. Challenges when viewed from the perspective of Christ's authority can be seen as opportunities for growth. We can consider it as growing pains, right? We can look forward to growing because we know that God doesn't waste anything. So anything that's happening in our life, we can look forward to it because He's in control. And if we see it that way, then we can see it as opportunities. Then we can wonder with anticipation, I wonder what He's going to do now, what He's going to do next because nothing can move the Master. He's my rock. So this is an opportunity to draw closer to God so our experiences aren't random or purposeless, but they are used by God for a greater purpose in our lives. And that's why we're here today. We're here to hear from God. In other words, there's hope in despair. Even in the face of overwhelming odds or despairing situations, there's hope with Christ. Christ's authority rules and ensures that no situation is beyond His reach. No person is beyond Him where He cannot pull you up out of the maury and clay out of our sins and reach you and touch you where you are with redemption. He can do it. He is the Redeemer. He is the greatest when it comes to comebacks. Who loves a good comeback? When it feels like you've lost in life, God can sustain you, lift you up, and lead you out to victory. What a great privilege we have in knowing Him. In other words, we can continue to be reminded that God is sovereign overall. The perspective can continue in providing us peace and resilience over and over again. And He's telling us that His authority extends beyond this life to eternity. He has it all in His hand. The little children used to say, they used to sing, that God has the whole world in His hand, in His hand. He has mother and father in His hand, in His hands. It's a song that keeps reminding us of the sovereignty of God. And even the little children can sing together with the adults and sing, God, our God, has the whole world in His hand so that when they grow up, when they're faced with challenges and trials, they can remember what mama used to sing, what daddy used to say. They can remember seeing their parents go down on their knees and praying to their God. And for you know it, they would bend their own knees just as well, and they would know that there is someone who understands. There is someone who listens. Believers can approach life's challenges with an eternal perspective, knowing that our current struggles are temporary in comparison to the eternal joy and the glory that is coming with Christ. It's coming with Christ. This takes us to our third point. Number three, we will consider the command to discipleship. You can see this in verses 19 and 20. Jesus states, go therefore and make disciples of all nations. I'm going to stop there and just say a little bit about disciples. As disciples of Christ ourselves, we understand the command to make disciples as a call to spread the gospel to the world from San Diego County beyond. We have the opportunity to be disciples in the sense we ourselves are continuous learners. We've come into the knowledge of Christ, and we continue to learn. We also have the obligation of spreading the gospel to the world, spreading the gospel in San Diego County, spreading the gospel beyond us to India. We're connecting with our brothers and sisters there through our missionaries. On the missionary playing fields, we have the opportunity to share the burdens and the load of the gospel going forward by coming alongside of our missionaries. We're able to come alongside our brothers and sisters in Barbados, brothers and sisters in Spain, over on the Indian reservation. What a privilege we have in sharing this opportunity that the gospel may go forward. We hold to the belief that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, which means the emphasis is on preaching the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ's life, death, burial, and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins to all people. This is the active nature of our faith. In other words, when we become disciples, it doesn't mean that we stand on the sidelines. But to be a disciple is taking action. It's taking the responsibility to learn and to grow and to then apply what we have learned. It is active. It is the active nature of our faith. Discipleship is more than a mere conversion. It's a journey. It's a growing journey of faith. So to be reminded of that, as we consider this thought, this idea, going therefore, making disciples of all nations. So there's much more that could be said about discipleship, but I won't be spending any more time here because I want to say much more about the lion's share of our time on baptism and the Lord's Supper. Jesus moves on from discipleship to speak about baptism. In Matthew 28 and 19 He says, go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them. So bringing them the gospel, teaching them the word of God, then after they become believers, He says baptizing them, baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. But what is baptism? Baptism according to the Bible and as understood as Reformed Baptists is an outward sign of an inward grace. It is a symbolic act where a believer is immersed in water, representing the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, raised up, pointing to the resurrection of Christ. It states it in Romans 6 .4, we were therefore buried with Him through baptism into debt in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
The Eric Metaxas Show
Tim Mahoney Unpacks His Life-Changing Journey to Mount Sinai
"So much evidence and some experts don't agree, you know, even people that would agree the Bible is the inherent word of God would disagree on some interpretations or some dating. That's normal. The point is we're all looking for what is true. We're all trying to get to the bottom of it. And it's an exciting journey. And we should be excited to be on the journey. I absolutely. And I am very much friendly with and Friends with people who are agnostic. People who don't know, I meet more agnostic than I do atheists, to be honest with you. They're just guys who have lots of questions. And we have lots of different viewpoints about chronology about interpretation about location. And there are believers that believe very strongly in other mountain locations. For the first time, I'm going to basically share with you where I think the strength of the argument lies. Do we have all the solutions? No. But we have an amazing pattern of evidence. And there's another thing to learn from this. The Israelites were told to come to the mountain and they're going to worship God there. And during the making of this film, I battled with fear. You know, fear of, am I going to be able to finish this 20 year task? Am I going to be able to find a way to pay for it? And all these different fears. And the Israelites were fearful. They didn't know if they're going to what they're going to eat. If they're going to have water, where they were going, they were fearful of a lot of things. And they complained. And what I learned from watching this film and I'm hoping the audience will learn is that we're going to be called on a journey. Each one of us is on a personal journey. And we can learn from the Israelites, what not to do, which is to complain. And to look to other things. And at the end of this film, we have a bonus feature that will be on it. And I felt that this film concludes with worship at Mount Sinai. And I've added that component into the end of this film. And I was convicted that, in fact, I was at a coffee shop and I was walking out, carrying this burden, carrying these fears in this pastor looked at me and he said, he was doing a Bible study there. And he looked up, I recognized him. From the inner city. And he said, Tim, how's it going? I said, I ignore to begin. And the first words out of his mouth were, and I know they weren't just his words. He says, Tim, you need to worship the lord more.

Tim Mahoney Describes His Journey to Biblical Archeology
"I'm talking to Tim Mahoney who is behind the films called patterns of evidence, the new one. It's going to be in theaters may 15th and 17th only. Fathom event is patterns of evidence journey to Mount Sinai part two, okay, so I just have to ask because I'm sure you told me this in the past, but for my audience's sake, how did you get involved in biblical archeology and in these kinds of things? Because I have become more and more and more fascinated with this stuff. What was your journey to Mahoney? Well, I think that if you wonder about your past and you wonder about how we got somewhere, when I was in high school, my family actually broke up when I was 11 years old. And it was a tragic kind of a breakup. We actually had to go in hiding Eric from my father because he was, he wasn't well. And he and an 11th grade was the first time I started to get back an interested in school. And it was when I was reading a history book. And I started to read ahead. And it was like that scene from when John Candy when they're like, I'm sure that scene when Steve Martin and John Candy in a movie where they're like in bed. And they're all of a sudden they wake up and they start talking about baseball or whatever. And I was like, thinking to myself, what in the world am I doing reading ahead in this book? I do not, I'm not supposed to be a good student. I don't like this, but I found history was fascinating because I was learning a story. It was a Civil War. And I was going deeper and deeper into it. I couldn't believe what had happened. I finally became aware that something happened earlier in time. And I think that this history, when you ever have a chance to look and you go, well, how did this happen? Where did this happen? And in my own life, I thought I was just going to go on adventure, but once you go into a place like Egypt and you see the pyramids and you see archeology and you realize that there was nations here before, there were armies here before, there were pharaohs and you look at the tombs and you look at go to the British Museum and you see what was created. Human hair from 3000 years ago, we wove together. I saw this wig that was both African and like a Norwegian hair that was woven together. I go, who was this person? Who are these people that all this happened? And you just realized that there's something more. And I think that that interest of knowing what the past was about, what drew me in, and so when I went to Egypt, the first time in 2002, I was absolutely astounded by the precision of things that were created. And how in the world did that happen? And then as you bring your faith into it, you realize that God is the creator of everything

Because I know this is a hugely controversial thing over the millennia practically. Where is Mount Sinai? So this film purports to have discovered the actual location, the actual Mount Sinai. This film started for me in 2002 when I thought we had a location, which was in Saudi Arabia. And I actually, in 2003, went there and was able to bring a camera and I started filming it. And it was amazing to see all these artifacts that were there. But what happened to me when I left the country, interestingly, on May 15th, 20 years ago, almost when I left the country, they kept my footage. And I didn't have a film. And for the last 20 years, I've been trying to make this film. And I was challenged that some people said, you know, you're not being really fair. There are other mountains that we think might be a better candidate. Why don't you slow down and look at them? And that's why this is a had been a two film investigation. I've looked at 6 different locations, starting in the Sinai Peninsula. And this next film, journey to Mount Sinai, part two is coming to theaters may 15th, as we said in 17th.

Bible teacher Ray Vander Laan contextualizes 'Jesus: The Lamb of God'
"One that captivated me was from volume four, the lamb of God, and you brought some things out in that particular episode that has really captivated my heart. Things that you don't normally hear. If you can, maybe reshape this when Jesus comes. That pass over to the mount of olives and the reason for him weeping over the people of Jerusalem. The bigger picture is that in a Hebrew approach, an earlier event in God's great story becomes a paradigm for later events. For example, the Israelites left Egypt on Passover, took them about 40 days to get to Mount Sinai, Moses climbed the mountain to meet with God, a few days later the ten commandments come down near Pentecost. Jesus dies on Passover, 40 days later, he goes up on a mountain. He ascends up to God and ten days later on Pentecost, the Holy Spirit comes and appears and makes his dwelling with people, and you can see there's almost like a blueprint for how those events will unfold. Well, the question you asked about the triumphal entry we call it or palm Sunday, in exodus 12, God said on the tenth day of the month, I want you to select an appropriate lamp that you then slaughter when Passover comes on the 14th day of the month. So all the Hebrew people who were seeking to be faithful to God's command to come to Jerusalem for Passover would have been flocking into that city on that palm Sunday because that was lamb selection time. And it was an exciting family time. The kids, everybody came to pick out this lamb that was going to be their sacrificial animal. So when Jesus makes his descent into the city on that day becomes really profound as if Jesus was saying pick me.

What's So Special About Oil?
"We're exploring a new theme on the podcast called the anointed. Anointing is taking oil and smearing it on someone. And it has a very specific purpose. Foil marks a person replaced that the bridge between heaven and earth. Cool. But why oil? Why not wine? What's going on? So what we're going to trace down in this conversation is there's a recipe for special anointing oil. You can find it in the Torah. The recipe for anointing oil is given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. And it's not just oil, it's oil and fused with pungent aromatic spices and it makes this incredible perfume. How creations packed with these plants that if you just ate the leaf, you would not enjoy it. But you crush it. Pulverize it, we're soak it, and then it can infuse this with a taste that just is like otherworldly. Well, I think the biblical authors want us to see in this anointing oil is the life of Eden condensed into a little dense liquid. The life of Eden begins with the water of life, filling the dry ground and forming the human, and then got spirits. Fills the human. Water and spirit. Marking humanity as a place where heaven and earth are one. And so to remember that place, or even to designate a place to be like that, we anoint it with oil. There's moments when through liquid and spirit, a person a place is marked as a special portal between heaven and earth to bring about that reunion of heaven and earth in some way. And I think that's where all of a sudden all these themes come crashing together. Of the liquid life and the spirit are joined images. And that's what anointing means in the Bible.

"So as I said, today, we have some good news and we have some bad news. The good news is we are journeying into the book of numbers and the book of deuteronomy. So good, incredible, and new period new time period. The bad news is this is the beginning of numbers is kind of all about numbers. It's where we got the title, the English title for the book of numbers. The Hebrew title means into the wilderness, which is much more dramatic and a lot more exciting. But our translation, our title for the book of numbers, is numbers because it begins by numbering the people of Israel. Numbering the tribes of the different 12 tribes of Israel. Now, that numbering can be discouraging for some people because you might get to the end of this day thinking like what the heck that's all this was, well it's not all this was because it's very, very important for us to understand that God knows his people and he numbers his people also at the end of book of numbers he numbers him again. So just know that's coming up. Also we're starting the book of deuteronomy. Now deuteronomy means the second law. And if you haven't heard this already, here's kind of what we're doing. The people of Israel have been in the wilderness where they've been at Mount Sinai for one year now, basically 13 months. They were there for one year, and the last month of that 13 month period, the 13th month was the book of leviticus. That's when God gave through Moses, the law for political worship, right? This is after the golden caffeine incident. So if we think about what we've been, we had exodus. And we had the journey into the wilderness. We had the journey to Mount Sinai so they could worship God, but then what happens is they build the golden calf while Moses on Mount Sinai or mount horeb. Two names to the same mountain, getting the two tables of stone or two tablets of stone. Comes down right and the people have fallen into idolatry. And so what happens? The tribe of Levi raises up and they exact God's justice on those who turn to idolatry. And so they become they ordained themselves this day, says Moses, to the tribe of Levi. Now, that last month, at Mount Sinai, is where we're given the book of leviticus. Now we're moving on. We begin, of course, in the wilderness of Sinai. And that's where the first couple chapters take place.

"The glory of your name, deliver us and forgive our sins for your namesake. Why should the nations say, where is their God? Let the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants be known among the nations before our eyes. Let the groans of the prisoners come before you, according to your great power, preserve those doomed to die. Return 7 fold into the bosom of our neighbors, the taunts with which they have taunted you O lord. Then we your people. The flock of your pasture will give thanks to you forever. From generation to generation, we will recount your praise. Father in heaven we thank you for your word. We thank you for this prayer. We thank you for revealing to us that the brokenness of our own hearts and we hear the story of the exodus and the story of the golden calf. We know lord God that our hearts are idle making machines and we can turn to anything instead of turning to you, help us always, always, to be faithful to you, not just in great things, but also in small things. Lord God, we want to belong to you, we want to be yours. Help us to be yours fully. In Jesus name we pray. Amen, the name of the father, and of the son, and of the Holy Spirit. So this is the famous story of the golden calf. Here's Moses on the mountain, and he's at Mount Sinai. He's received the ten commandments. Written as its specifically says very, very clearly says written by the very hand of God. And yet, meanwhile, down in the camp, what happens? There's a couple of things that are very important for us to highlight. One is that the people become upset. They become uncertain, right? Because here's Moses, the one who led them out of Egypt, he's nowhere to be seen. We don't know what happened to him. And so they have this uncertainty, and in the midst of their uncertainty, what do they do? They try to take control. And this is, oh my goodness, this is the lesson for all of us. Here is God who allows us to walk and invites us to walk in faith. He invites us to walk in the midst of uncertainty, and yet in the midst of that uncertainty, what do we do? We say, well, what can I take? How can I take control of this situation? Because I'm tired of waiting, and I'm tired of the uncertainty. I'm tired of not knowing, and so I'm going to take matters into my own hands. So that's the first thing. The first thing is, what's the impetus? What's the motivation for these people? It was not. They wanted to rebel against God. This is very, very important. They didn't say we defy the God who brought us out of Egypt. They simply say, basically, we don't know what happened to this Moses. So what we're going to do is we're going to take matters into our own hands. We're going to take control of the situation.

CBS News: More Young People Are Suffering Heart Attacks
"Study found that young people are actually most at risk in this case, according to cedars Sinai hospital, the number of heart attack deaths among 25 to 44 year olds in the U.S. over the first two years of the pandemic was 30% higher than predicted. Doctor slinger is here on set with us to talk more about it. She's editor at large for public health at Kaiser health news and she is also an infectious disease specialist and epidemiologist and a CBS News medical contributor, doctor Gander. Thank you for being here. What stood out to you in this study? I think the fact that you're seeing such a big increase specifically in the youngest age group. So the 25 to 44 year old, you saw this 30% increase in the risk of death from heart attack. And that really is quite striking. That's not a group an age group in which you normally see heart attacks much less dying from a heart attack. So to do a study like this, you look at the years prior to the pandemic and the typical rate of heart attack death in that age group. And then you see it increase and you wonder what's the new variable? And so the pandemic is that new variable. That's right. So these researchers looked at ten years of data across the U.S. all the death certificates that get filed with the CDC. That data. And so what they saw is prior to the pandemic, heart attack, deaths were actually dropping. And then that trend reverses and you see those deaths go up, especially among that youngest age group during the pandemic. And do we know why the why younger people might be more at risk or we don't know for sure. And in fact, these death certificates are probably not even capturing the fact that they might have had COVID. They're really just saying, did you die from a heart attack or not? What we do know, however, is that younger people were less likely to protect themselves against COVID than older people, less likely to mask, less likely to take other mitigation measures. And they were also farther back in line to get vaccinated. So they were not protected with vaccination until later in the pandemic, those might have been a factor here. So basically,

More than 7,000 nurses on strike in New York City
"More than 7000 nurses at two large New York City hospitals went on strike this morning in a dispute over pay and staffing levels. The walkout involves as many as 3500 nurses at montefiore and The Bronx and around 3600 at Mount Sinai in Manhattan, the New York State nurses association says, after bargaining late into the night, it was being forced to strike because of chronic understaffing that leaves them caring for too many patients. President Nancy Hagan spoke at a virtual news conference yesterday. Sticking point is safe, patient care, save nurse to patient ratio, save staffing. The hospitals have been getting ready for a walkout by transferring patients, diverting ambulances, postponing non emergency procedures, and arranging to bring in temporary staffing.

"Future Sinai and John Hawkins, and we have over 10,000 nurses joining our platform every single week. And that industry average of 82 days, which you've shortened to 14 days, how does 82 days that average now compared to what we've seen in the past? I guess what I'm asking is, did the pandemic exacerbate that? Has that average grown longer? The pandemic has definitely exacerbated that number so that average house gotten longer because we are continuing to face a very severe labor shortage in nursing and as well as other healthcare professions. And then the other key number that pandemic has impacted this turnover, the average turnover for nurses in the U.S. was about 17% before the pandemic has now on average 21 and a half percent. Well, tell us a little bit about I was talking to somebody within the nursing community and just said, COVID, monkeypox, you name it, women, individuals, men, people who are in the nursing field have just kind of had it. Have we lost or how many have we lost from this field So we are increasingly losing nurses from this field. So our third annual data report from earlier this year showed that one third of nurses are considering leaving the profession permanently by the end of 2022. And so this is a workforce that has been negatively impacted in some cases, you know, decimated by the pandemic. They are being overworked and experiencing extreme fatigue and stress and burnout at the moment. And how do you, how do you address retention then burnout is such a big issue? So a couple of key ways first are the employers using our platform, enjoy a 15% increase in their baseline retention rates because the nurse was able to consider multiple opportunities for selecting that specific employer. But we also in our surveys and our data shows that the top reasons why nurses are changing jobs is by far the number one is career advancement. They're looking for more career advancement. They want to grow their skills, move into leadership, cross train. Become more specialized. And so the hospitals and health systems that are investing in career advancement for nurses are enjoying better retention rates.

I jimmy greg. Today hit our jamie. You've got a respiratory background. Let's utilize your expertise. How can respiratory physical therapists. Play a role in the assessment of people with long kkob. Yeah this is a great question Specifically some of the skills response spiritually pace have that relevant to lung coveting played in the assessment of braiding patents determining snia which is also Breathlessness and exercise testing prescription especially in the present so breathlessness and oxygen saturation. However as we've heard with long kobe we need to that. Approach given the risks of symptom exacerbation with traditional forms of assessment and treatment. So for example we can be quite confident that in someone with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease we can elicit breathlessness oxygen saturation during a six minute. Walk test for example and that personal recover relatively quickly after the test and we have a issues later that day or during the following days but we definitely know that the forming these types of exercise tests in people with lung covert can lead to severe worsening of symptoms. So this nice to be taken into account if the person is reporting similar experiences following increases in levels of activity so the brave breaking piper really drives this point throughout the document which is great. the paper also highlights the potential oxygen saturation in a proportion of people. We've long cove at one month after discharge from hospital and this might also occur in smaller percentage of people that had less severe in fictional when hospitalized at a is definitely supports the need for established supervised rehabilitation programs Such as the program generous leading mount sinai ore in situations where this might be available sufficient support from the healthcare institutions to facilitate self-monitoring volkswagen saturation during activity at harming people that we might consider risk should acknowledge that Just fondly on that point that breathlessness and oxygen saturation annoys correlated. And someone that can someone can be breathless for other reasons. While they're oxygen levels a normal and in certain conditions the patient can also dispatched right without noticeable symptoms. So this is why. It's important for regular assessment by clinician with expertise in this area point now. There are subtle differences in causes of shortness of breath. What do we need to notice separate those. This is a really great question. Jimmy and will be relevant to a large number of paper with It's likely that many will never experienced breathlessness before. And so this is a new symptom to come to terms with in life As i touched him. Full breathlessness can be associated with low levels of oxygen. But it's not always the case someone can be breathless and maintain normal levels. Which is why is needs to be explored further to determine the cause and for example in paperweight establish lungs as breathlessness can also be mechanically night shah as the chest. Warwick's hotter to overcome dynamic hyperinflation during activity. So we need a rule out. The other potential causes of why person with loan might be reporting breathlessness to you as a clinician on the holidays would be dysfunctional braiding patents which also covers ventilation hristo during exercise and the other one i would think kobe's vocal cord dysfunction so we have some interest in measuring In total two levels in long cohort and while it can be definitely considered occurred measure given the ability for results to change quickly with saying a patent of slightly lower levels of Which may indicate a component of provincial If dysfunctional breathing is suspected a referral should be my to a pay with expertise in this area or two breath.

"Sinai Medical Center. That's 4 50. It's all things considered from NPR news. I'm Audie Cornish, and I'm Ailsa Chang, Dr Anthony Fauci is calling the Delta variant the greatest threat to the nation's prospects for winning the battle against the Covid 19 pandemic. NPR health correspondent Rob Stein joins us now with more details. Hi, Rob. Hey, Elsa. Hey. So this Delta very in. I mean, it's a strain that was first spotted in India right before it took over in the United Kingdom and other countries. Why is Dr Fauci issuing such a strong warning about it now? In the US It's a combination of factors. Number one is it's incredibly contagious, the most contagious mutant to emerge yet and it's spreading fast in this country so fast now that it's doubling the proportion of infections is causing every two weeks and already accounts for more than 20% of all new infections. Let's listen to a little bit of what Dr Fauci said about this today at the White House Covid 19 briefing similar to the situation in the UK The delta variant is currently the greatest threat in the U. S to our attempt to eliminate Covid 19. According to some estimates that Delta is on such a fast trajectory that it's likely to become the dominant strain in the U. S within weeks. In fact, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky noted at the same briefing that the Delta already accounts for nearly half of all infections in some parts of the country. You know, like parts of the Midwest and West. Wow. Okay, so it spreads really quickly, but But does it make people sicker? You know, it looks like that could be the case. Dr. Fauci cited some new research that indicates people are significantly more likely to end up in the hospital if they catch this virus compared to if they caught the original strain. And he noted that young and Bolton Children look like they're driving the spread of the virus. At least in Britain. That is okay. Well, the question on everyone's mind is how well do our current vaccines work against the delta variant? Yeah. Yeah, We're all wondering, am I protected or not? And that's the good news. All the evidence so far indicates that they work very well if people are fully evacuated, But remember, there are lots of unvaccinated people still in this country. So, Dr Fauci says this new threat posed by the Delta variant makes it more urgent than ever that people roll up their sleeves, especially, you know, given how close the country is to finally getting back to normal. We have the tools, so let's use them and crush the outbreak. The fear Elsa is that the delta variant could spark yet another round of new outbreaks in the parts of the country where lots of people still aren't vaccinated. In fact, a new projection that just came out Found that yet Another national search could start as soon as July. If a virus is contagious, as the delta sweeps through unvaccinated parts of the country Well, if the delta variant does spread through certain parts of the US unchecked Could it lead to the emergence of even more dangerous variance? Absolutely, as we've been saying for a while. Now, the more the virus spreads, the greater the chances that even more dangerous mutants could evolve. If we let it run wild who knows what could emerge? And you know, Doctor will honestly noted that there's no reason for one more person to get sick or die from the pandemic in this country at this point, when the vaccines have essentially made Covid 19 a preventable disease. That is NPR's Rob Stein. Thank you, Rob..

I'm giving it as an opportunity to contemplate. What exactly a miracle might be the work for miracle in hebrew is this and it has more than one meeting classically. Like i said if you ask person what's a miracle they'll start listing off the sort of cataclysmic events of the biblical narrative. They might also start talking about what we call the hidden miracles or the more subtle expressions of god's hand in their own lives but i think the deeper meaning of miracle comes out when we look at its other definition in the hebrew language in nasa's and just a miracle it's also a flagpole or a sign. It's something which is lifted up beyond the horizon in which we normally dwell. I mean after all in the battle or in frankly in the american national anthem. What is a flag on the battlefield other than a reminder of that which you're fighting for which lies above the plane of struggle it didn't occasion that there's a broader horizon with in which the events of our lives are taking place.
