Listen to Genesis 3:8. Genesis 3:8 (ESV) 8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. Most of your translations have a footnote on the word “cool” from the phrase “cool of the day”....

The Lord has preached the good news of the kingdom in the Passover. The spotless lamb has been sacrificed and the blood applied to the doorposts and the lintels of all those who want to follow the Lord. Israel has been set free from Egypt and they plundered the Egyptians by the Lord’s favor. The Lord has baptized Israel as a people when they passed through the Red Sea while the Lord defeated their enemy....

The Lord Jesus has fixed his victorious ends for the church. The church as a whole will ultimately succeed in discipling the nations. The Lord Jesus will sanctify his church and she will be presented on the last day without spot or blemish. And, the leadership and members of the local church can affect the local church’s temporal status. By the power of the Spirit, the Lord uses the holiness of the local church to propel them to wild heights of eternal increase, joy, delight in righteousness, and increased witness....

What’s up TRC and Friends! Today we have a guest in the studio here at Restoration Rome. John Luke is a church member, TID listener, and one of our most interactive listeners. We are grateful for John Luke. John Luke had some insightful thoughts, so we thought we’d revisit this topic and ask him to share. Church hopping has been an impactful topic, so it made sense to revisit it.

Exodus 12:37 (ESV) 37 And the people of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. Moses records for us the number of men who left Egypt in the Exodus as 600,000. That number does not include women and children. So, it is likely that the number of people leaving Egypt is 4 times that number....

Jethro is a somewhat mysterious person. He was the priest of Midian. This means he is a religious leader who worships a fallen “watcher” from the rebellion and leads others to do the same. However, Jethro was descended of Abraham through Ketura, an additional wife of Abraham’s (Genesis 25:1-2). The Lord promised Abraham a son through whom the Serpent/Dragon crusher would come....

The wilderness is the Lord’s means of testing his people in preparation for the conquest and settling of Canaan. The wilderness is also a type the Lord providentially ordered to teach us about the work of sanctification to grow us up in Christ after he makes us new creations through faith in Jesus (1 Corinthians 10:1-11). Among all the glorious work in our sanctification, part of that work is us joining with the Lord in the establishment of his reign....

What’s up TRC and Friends? Today we couldn’t fail to address the obvious. So, we get after the attempted assassination of former President and Presidential Candidate, Donald J. Trump. There are more questions than answers at this point, and we should not be expected to pretend we didn't see what we saw, hear what we heard, nor shun all the necessary questions to make sense of what happened....

Let’s read it: Exodus 15:22-27! Remember, Moses is not leading them blindly. The Lord is leading Moses in the cloud and fire; the people see this also. It’s not like they don’t all know which way the Lord is leading. So, it’s evident to them, and it should be to us, that it is the Lord who leads Israel into the largest span of desert in the Sinai peninsula where all resources will be sparse....

Good day TRC and Friends! I’ve sat on my thoughts for nearly the whole month now because I was not finding the words I wanted to say easily. So, I’ve intentionally held my peace. This morning driving to the office, it started to roll out of my soul, so I grabbed my phone and started to record. I’ll not re-write anything I said....

Exodus 15:1-21 The Song of Moses 1 Chronicles 15-16 recounts how David appointed the Levites for music and song to praise the Lord at the Tabernacle daily. 1 Chronicles 16:4-7 (ESV) 4 Then he appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the LORD, to invoke, to thank, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel. 5 Asaph was the chief, and second to him were Zechariah, Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel, who were to play harps and lyres; Asaph was to sound the cymbals, 6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God....

In my New Testament reading for today, Peter explicitly said “...to this you have been called”. 1 Peter 2:21-23 (ESV) 21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly....

The family is the first and holiest institution in creation. As fathers, we get to work with our wives to raise and release image-bearers from the family unit and within the church family unit to be on the mission of maximizing creation and discipling the nations....

Exodus 14:15-31 The Lord will fight for you. The ultimate issue at stake in our salvation is trust. I’m not talking about the mechanics of how the Lord atones for our sin. I’m talking about the viral infection of distrust passed on in the lies of the Serpent Dragon. Trust in the Lord with secure relational attachment was replaced with distrust and disorganized, anxious, and avoidant rupture in our relationship with the Lord in Genesis 3....
