Working the evening shift at my desk…I was viewing the message and laughing!!! Wonderful way to learn God’s Word…. “A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.” Proverbs 17:22 RSV-CI
This was a very good video - I appreciated the facetiousness-- funny though it’s all the truth which is what people hate to hear. We are all so broken. Viva Christo Rey!
Well, to be honest sometimes everything is going to heck in a hand basket, but I try not to despair. It's difficult when you're prone to anxiety and depression to begin with.
Thank you very much for this video. It explains the purpose of Ten Commandments beautifully and why these laws are so important for us. My children especially love learning about this topic and to them it all makes perfect sense. Thank you and God bless.
Loved the video. I laughed out loud more than once. On a serious note however, you mentioned pagans and child sacrifice. The United States does just that in the horrible crime of legalized abortion. Abortion sacrifices one life for another. As any parent knows, having children is a lifelong sacrifice….one right after the other. It is so terribly sad that every argument for abortion is just an argument as to whom will make the sacrifice. Thanks Dr. John!
LOL! This reminds me of my cousin who wanted to take down the Ten Commandments hanging in her kitchen when her grandpa passed (she lived with him) and I was so puzzled, like, which one do you disagree with?! 👀
Good point about anarchy in America, since at the core it's at the heart of mankind. Which is why we need Jesus The Light of the World who is the Way, the Truth & the Life. Basically Jesus is the Living Torah! We are called to live in this temporal world knowing we are all a breath away from eternity. We are to reflect the Glory of God as the moon reflects the glory of the sun.
the ten commandments fall into two groups of five. this can be seen even in English, as the first five have the words "the LORD thy God" - when we honor our parents, we are honoring God, for Heaven's sake.
There is a direct correlation between The Covenant and God's Law. Basically its the Covenant stipulations. Moses took half of the blood and put it in large bowls; the other half he splashed on the altar. Exodus Ch.24 excerpt: "Taking the book of the covenant, he read it aloud to the people, who answered, “All that the LORD has said, we will heed and do.” Then he took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words of his.” But for us in Christ Jesus the new Covenant is established as it says in Hebrews 10:16 "this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them" Then truly we will reflect the Holiness of God our Father!

Dr John is enjoying his teaching on this one

Great message, with practical ways to grow closer to God
Thanks immensely for the work you are all doing at the St Paul center
Love your commentary and wish everyone could listen.
Appreciate the titanic comparison
Delightful. Love the eternal perspective and the breakdown of the commandments as well as the reflection on worldly anxiety and lure of riches. Peace
Always great - love the analogies. God bless you and all at St. Paul Center
Wonderful explanation. Gracias Dr Bergsma.
Thank you, Dr. Bergsma

If we all studied and followed and understood the 10 Commandments our world would be a much better place.
Loved this. Thank you.
Good start! That will. Stir them up.
The First Three Notes sound like Elton John. Please Doctor John, I can"t take it!
Very helpful thank you
Thank you

Then he took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, saying,

that the LORD has made with you
in accordance with all these words of his.”
But for us in Christ Jesus the new Covenant is established as it says in Hebrews 10:16 "this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them"
