What would a society look like if no one lived in perpetual debt or poverty? In this episode, Dr. John explores Deuteronomy 15:1-11 and God's revolutionary Sabbatical year law that required the release of debts every seven years in ancient Israel. He discusses how this divine system was designed to prevent perpetual poverty while challenging listeners to consider how biblical principles of generosity and debt forgiveness can shape our approach to those in need today.
Living the Moral Life: A Practical Application for Every Generation: Morality cannot be reduced to a bumper sticker. Neither is it the sum total of our debates, campaigns or banners. Morality is presented by how we live. The book of Deuteronomy is a second presentation of God’s Law. It contains three sermons by Moses, as Israel stands on the border of the Promised Land. In this series, Dr. John highlights chapters 12- 17 in which Moses emphasizes living out God’s commands for a moral life. Why should we listen? Because living a moral life speaks louder than any bumper sticker.
