A Going Church For A Coming Lord, Which Does All God Authorizes. The church of Christ.

Psalm 119:161-176; Revelation 15
https://t.co/nyQ1lRTFo3

"Great and marvelous are Your works,
O Lord God, the Almighty;
Righteous and true are Your ways,
King of the nations!
Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy..."

Moses' OTHER song.

Memories of failure can either haunt us or motivate us to do better.

Deuteronomy 9-10; Mark 5
https://t.co/sR0S9pUANz

God used people's past failures to remind them not to repeat bad behavior. Jesus used the demoniac's past to teach people that better was possible. It still is.

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

God's promises had been shown to be sure, and so were His warnings.

Deuteronomy 7-8; Mark 4
https://t.co/yPnaMLKTAD

Jesus warned the people in similar ways when He taught that God's kingdom was the most important undertaking possible. Trying to focus on the physical would hurt.

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

Jesus was never breaking the Law by doing good on the Sabbath.

Deuteronomy 5-6; Mark 3
https://t.co/NbNycy9GBA

The Pharisees used all the wrong measures when trying to judge Jesus' actions. Furthermore, they used the wrong motives. They had not learned God's heart in the Law.

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

God had held up His end of the covenant and that carried requirements for Israel.

Deuteronomy 3-4; Mark 2
https://t.co/IhwTnkSoNB

Additionally, God had upheld His promises by bringing the Messiah into the world. Therefore, the people had the responsibility to follow Him.

A new month with new readings!

Deuteronomy 1-2; Mark 1
https://t.co/DhH1oYsQyr

Moses cared a great deal whether the people followed the Law after his death. John the Immerser was trying to get people to return to God's values reflected in the Law, as well as point to Christ.

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

Psalm 119:33-64; Revelation 11
https://t.co/Qh8O6B7JAP

"Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity,
And revive me in Your ways.
Establish Your word to Your servant,
As that which produces reverence for You.
Turn away my reproach which I dread,
For Your ordinances are good."

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

God's work of establishing the right rulers at the right time should be noted.

I Chronicles 16-18; Daniel 6
https://t.co/X9cotdQLuD

We often think of politics as chaotic, but God's plans have a purpose we cannot always see. Humans work to overthrow them to no avail. #kingmaker

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

Respect for God's system of worship was often a costly lesson to learn.

I Chronicles 13-15; Daniel 5
https://t.co/bQSpjVwYmt

David and Belshazzar were kings at opposite ends of the timeline for Solomon's temple, but they both needed to learn to respect God's holiness. #holiness

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

Because God had anointed David to be king, there was nothing Saul could do to stop it.

I Chronicles 10-12; Daniel 4
https://t.co/82dU9yh4Uf

We might think that the current world rulers are forever, but only God knows the time when they need to be humbled or removed. #trueruler

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

Because God controls even the lives of kings, He is to be respected above all rulers.

I Chronicles 7-9; Daniel 3
https://t.co/bMDAOt6gMe

Saul was chosen to be king on the understanding that he would honor God. His removal is a lesson to all who would be leaders today. #trueking

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

Psalm 119:1-32; Revelation 10
https://t.co/Zm65MQIcW8

"How blessed are those whose way is blameless,
Who walk in the law of the LORD.
How blessed are those who observe His testimonies,
Who seek Him with all their heart.
They also do no unrighteousness;
They walk in His ways."

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

A new month with new readings!

I Chronicles 1-3; Daniel 1
https://t.co/ZM4TL5HC9N

We go back to the beginning with one reading, and we also see an end. In Daniel's day, the nation of Judah was removed from their land by Nebuchadnezzar. Still, God had promised a future return.

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

A spiritual kingdom has a spiritual focus.

Ezekiel 47-48; Galatians 5-6
https://t.co/uL5EzNRHJ4

Since we're not concerned with borders or political power, we can focus on how to treat one another the way God desires. We're not living in the flesh, but growing a spiritual crop.

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

Once we know that the Law was meant to teach us God's expectations, we value it differently.

Ezekiel 45-46; Galatians 3-4
https://t.co/9Sa55o94EN

A bigger or more extravagant temple was only a figure for a better covenant, which is what we have in Christ. A covenant by faith.

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

God's Spirit fills His most perfect temple.

Ezekiel 43-44; Galatians 1-2
https://t.co/cnSWnYM4OS

Trying to return ot the imperfect Old Covenant would undermine God's approval shown in placing His presence among His people in the church. The physical Law was always temporary.

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

God's perfect temple shows how impossible it wouldbe on a physical plane.

Ezekiel 40-42; II Timothy 3-4
https://t.co/TNXEtCv6OF

The more perfect temple was created by Christ and is made up of those who follow Him in sincerity. Paul was happy to serve that temple with his life.

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

Psalms 111-114; Revelation 8
https://t.co/W4CGuvXZMV

"Praise the LORD!
How blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
Who greatly delights in His commandments.
His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed."

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

Ezekiel 26-28; Acts 25-26
https://t.co/TaHACkvtGw

Often, those in great authority feel insulated from the judgment that God has provided. The king of Tyre was promised a humbling force that would take him down. Similarly, Festus and Agrippa both knew about God's requirements.

[Wildercroft Church @wildercroftcoc]

Ezekiel 24-25; Acts 23-24
https://t.co/55HP9SRDiO

God was planning to judge the nations with wars and various hardships. However, the gospel still judges the world because it exposes the hearts of all humans. Paul had the opportunity to speak truth to the rulers in judgment.
