Jim Martin‘s Bible Study

Continuing our consideration of being set free from slavery to serve God and our fellow man, today we look at Deuteronomy chapter 24. God challenges us to have compassion on those who cannot look after themselves, considering our former lives as slaves (to sin). He repeatedly mentions “widows, orphans, and aliens” in these admonitions. By “aliens” I’m confident He’s not thinking about extraterrestrials, but rather those foreign to the community of faith. I also believe He would include in the

Compassion and Justice - Set Free to Serve - Part 2

Once we were slaves, But now we are Free!

It has been several weeks since my last broadcast, but I believe the LORD is prompting me to share what He put on my heart Sunday as our small group Bible study looked at a passage in Deuteronomy chapter 24. What struck me was perhaps not what the lesson was about (that happens rather frequently!) but rather the repetition of two phrases; the first was “because you were slaves in Egypt,” and the other concerned ensuring justice was given to “the alien, the widows, and the orphans.” By nature and by

Believing and Behaving in Babylon – Part 10 Trusting God as His Plan Progresses – Daniel Chapters 10-12 The last three chapters of Daniel’s prophecy are quite mysterious to us in the 21st Century, to the point we wonder if they affect us at all! To be sure, much of what was told the prophet has already occurred prior to Jesus’ first advent. These events were all – being part of Israel’s history – significant in that they formed the character and “world-view” of God’s people as Messiah did come. The

A View of the Future

2021/11/29

It has been two weeks since my last broadcast due to surgery, subsequent illness, reconfiguring our internet, Thanksgiving gatherings, etc. I’ve missed sharing in God’s Word with you! This session examines God’s response to Daniel’s marvelous model prayer in chapter 9, verses 4-19. We often tend to want to know when the things promised by God will come to pass. God feels no obligation to satisfy those desires, however, rather wanting us to simply trust Him and be about what He’s told us to be doing

When Prophecy comes True

Jim Martin‘s Bible Study ·

2021/11/14

Faith-full friends and family, what is our response or reaction when we see prophecy clearly being fulfilled before our very eyes? Many people look at the world events today and say, to the effect, “This must be the end, or if not, the end is close behind!” This week’s study looks at the first half of Daniel Chapter 9, one of the most moving and powerful prayers recorded in Scripture (besides Jesus’ “high priestly” prayer in John 17). The prophet and servant of God Most High did not dance and shout

A Ram, a Goat, and a Troubling Vision - Part 8

Jim Martin‘s Bible Study ·

2021/11/09

This week’s message (Wednesday morning USA time) continues considering Daniel’s visions of “the last days” and what they mean to us, living as we do in 21st Century Babylon. Chapter 8 brings us two years forward from last week’s timing, and God delivers an even more troubling vision to His faithful servant Daniel. This vision details the fall of the Medo-Persian empire, the rise and division of the Greek empire, and the appearance of a terrible, evil person who would defile the sanctuary in

The Beasts are in Charge!

2021/11/04

This lesson is a most intriguing section of Daniel’s prophecy. Whereas the first six chapters were historical narrative, chapters 7-12 are, for the most part, decidedly prophetic and ultimately quite reassuring and comforting to us! As we live and serve in 21st Century “Babylon” it is important that we not lose sight of God’s assurance and promise of His Ultimate Sovereignty and of His imminent return (whether today or in 1,000 years). We must always be ready to “give reason for the hope that is

When Colleagues Betray Us - Part 6

2021/10/22

Daniel chapter 6 is perhaps one of the most popular and well-known episodes in the life and ministry of God’s faithful servant. One of my daughters suffers from cat allergies; good thing she wasn’t with Daniel early in the reign of Darius the Mede! Daniel was the target of an evil conspiracy against him, brought on by the envy and jealousy of his government associates in the Babylonian successor kingdom of Medo-Persia. The conspirators played on Darius’ pride and the politico-religious culture of

The Handwriting on the Wall - Part 5 ”In Babylon”

Jim Martin‘s Bible Study ·

2021/10/15

It’s interesting to me how Biblical terms have worked their way into common speech without our fully recognizing or appreciating their origins and meanings! In today’s message from Daniel Chapter 5, for instance, we have at least two examples: “The handwriting is on the wall” implying that something is about to happen and it’s obvious to all – which it was and it wasn’t in the original context – and “his knees knocked together” implying someone was overcome with fear, which is true – but a

The King who was a Beast

2021/10/06

Today we consider a most intriguing and perhaps a bit disturbing incident in the life of Babylon’s kind Nebuchadnezzar as recorded in the book of Daniel, Chapter 4, “The King who was a Beast”! Unfortunately, many of us tend to act like animals from time to time, but in this case a man actually assumed features and activities which can only be described as animalistic. And he remained as such for seven years! What are we to learn from this story? How does it apply to us and our 21st Century world? I

Bow or Burn - is that the question?

Jim Martin‘s Bible Study ·

2021/09/29

"To bow or to burn" - that seems to be the choice for Jehovah's people through the millennia, including today, my dear friends, in many parts of the world. You say, "Not here, not now, so we're good." Perhaps the government you're living under isn't building giant furnaces (yet) ... wait...remember the horrible interment camps of the Nazi regime? People in the early 20th century didn't think such things could happen, either! Friends, my point is that we must decide NOW whether we really will follow

Be ready to serve as you‘re equipped - In Babylon Part 2

2021/09/22

Today we consider Daniel chapter 2 in the context of our living in 21st century “Babylon.” Does Jehovah “speak” to “pagans”? If so, why would He do so? What would His message be, and to whom? To what source to 21st century “pagans” look for direction and counsel? From where does that counsel originate, and what would that source’s objective be? And what about us? How do we “Believe and Behave in Babylon” today? It’s an interesting question, and a sobering answer, I think! Let’s study together,

Faith-full friends and family, I know many of you are in some degree of distress this morning because of the hurricane that struck near where many of us live. As of this moment I am not aware of injury to or death of any of my dear family or friends, although many have indeed suffered property loss or damage. God’s Grace and mercy, comfort and provision be with all. Last week’s opening message in the “Believing and Behaving in Babylon” series ended abruptly (!) without my explaining the imperatives

Will the righteous be forsaken? Never!! But will the righteous be tested? Absolutely! So it was for Daniel and the remnant of the faithful as they were cruelly dragged into Babylonian slavery in 586 BC (or thereabouts). What shall we do if our country and even its Jesus-followers fall to the enemy? We have precedent to encourage us. Study with me…

We must ”Do Justice”

Jim Martin‘s Bible Study ·

2021/09/07

Our Western concept of "justice" does not quite coincide with the Biblical requirement given in Micah 6:8. I think you will be challenged, as I was, by the revealing of the meaning of the Hebrew words translated "justice" in this passage.

Walk Humbly with your God

Today we complete our study of Micah 6:6-8, "What does God Require?" Today's segment takes the last "requirement" - "...to walk humbly with your God." A pundit remarked, "Oh, humility is my strongest suit!" Wrong! Humility's paradox is that if you think you are humble, you're proud!! Makes one sigh, doesn't it? Such a complex yet simple-sounding thing. Here's a hint for today's study: you won't fulfill the first two until you're walking in the third!

What does God Want? Part 2 - ”Love mercy”

Today we continue our study of a very familiar passage of Scripture, Micah 6:6-8, "What does the Lord Require?" Last time I mentioned that I've been listening to teaching from a Hebrew/Eastern world perspective and it has challenged my thinking on - among many other things - our idea of "social justice." Today we examine the second “requirement”: “to love kindness (or mercy.” We all need to heed this one!!
