Your Face Tells The Story – Humor Unplugged

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1337 of our Trek, and time for a 3-minute mini-trek called Humor Unplugged. Our Thursday podcast will provide a short and clean funny story to help you lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life. Something to cheer you and provide a bit a levity in your life. We are told in Proverbs 15:30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health. We are also encouraged in Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. Consider this your vitamin supplement of cheer for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s funny which is titled:

Your Face Tells The Story

Miss Smith gazed out her classroom window as her class of third graders played on the playground during recess. Her attention landed on Jimmy and Sammy, who were in a tussle at the far end. They chased each other back and forth, so Miss Smith thought she should nip it in the bud before it got out of hand, and one of them got hurt.

As she approached them, Jimmy and Sammy saw her coming, and they sat at opposite sides of a bench and made terrible faces at each other. Miss Smith sat down between them and asked, “now Jimmy and Sammy, what seems to be the problem between you two.” Neither of them spoke, but just continued to make horrid faces at each other. Trying not to put more fuel on the fire, and wanting to help them to learn how to get along with each other, Miss Smith smiled sweetly at both of them and said. “Now Jimmy and Sammy, when I was a child, I was told if I made ugly faces, it would freeze, and I would stay like that.”

Both Jimmy and Sammy stared at her intently for what seemed a very long time. Finally, Sammy looked at her with all seriousness and said: “Well, Miss Smith, you can’t say you weren’t warned.”Both Jimmy and Sammy stared at her intently for what seemed a very long time. Finally, Sammy looked at her with all seriousness and said: “Well, Miss Smith, you can’t say you weren’t warned.”

I hope that brought a smile to your face today. If it did pass your smile onto some else, we all could use a good smile. Our Thursday thought is: Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.

James 1:22-24

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.

Just as you enjoy these nuggets of humor, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’ If you would like to listen to any of our past 1331 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are all available at Wisdom-Trek.com.  I encourage you to subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on your favorite podcast player, so each day will be downloaded to you automatically.

Day 1336 – Mastering The Bible – Prophecy and Prophets – Worldview Wednesday

Mastering the Bible – Prophecy and Prophets – Worldview Wednesday

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1336 of our Trek, and it is Worldview Wednesday. Creating a Biblical Worldview is important to have a proper perspective on today’s current events. To establish a Biblical Worldview, it is required that you also have a proper understanding of God and His Word. Our focus for the next several months on Worldview Wednesday is Mastering the Bible, through a series of brief insights. These insights are extracted from a book of the same title from one of today’s most prominent Hebrew Scholars, Dr. Micheal S. Heiser. This book is a collection of insights designed to help you understand the Bible better. When we let the Bible be what it is, we can understand it as the original readers did, and as its writers intended. Each week we will explore two insights.

Mastering The Bible – Prophecy and Prophets

Insight Forty-Three: Most of the Material in the Prophetic Books Isn’t about Predicting the Future

As we begin a new section in Dr. Heiser’s book, our focus now turns to the prophets of the Old Testament. In popular usage, Christian or otherwise, the word “prophet” is associated with foretelling the future. That’s understandable when it comes to the Bible, since both testaments have prophetic figures making predictive statements about what will come to pass in the future. Despite that truth, it doesn’t take long when reading the prophets to discern that most of what they do isn’t about predicting anything. More than anything else, prophets were actually preachers. Scholars like to say that a prophet spent more time “forth-telling” than “fore-telling.”

What did prophets preach about? Righteousness, mostly. To be more precise, prophets spent most of their ministry railing against the sin and idolatry of the people of Israel and Judah. They were constantly reminding the people of their covenant relationship to God—how they had been rescued from Egypt, delivered at the Red Sea, and given the Law so that they could live happy, productive lives in accord with the God who loved them.

Israel, as a nation, had publicly proclaimed at Sinai that they would obey God’s law (Exodus 24). Prophets were vocal reminders of that promise. In that respect, they were basically covenant enforcers. They demanded that the people honor their relationship to God. In essence, they were preachers.It’s because of this role that we have the modern expression about “speaking with a prophetic voice.” When you hear that phrase, it doesn’t concern predicting the future. Rather, the point is that some man or woman is bold enough to tell the truth when it’s unpopular or even dangerous. That’s what prophets did, and they paid dearly for it.

Modern Bible readers have largely lost the correct orientation for reading the prophets. Talk about the future and discerning “the signs of the times” is more titillating than having someone tell you about your sin. But that’s crucial for walking with God. Someone needs to tell the truth. Prophets didn’t do it because they enjoyed it. They knew their ministry wasn’t going to make them popular. They did it because God wanted to rescue people from judgment.

That alone is a lesson for us today. Most contemporary preaching is about making us feel good about ourselves. There is no warning. It’s more important to realize that God loves us and wants us to turn from sin so he can bless us. Our Maker knows that a clear conscience and forgiveness are keys to happiness on earth.

Without a prophetic voice, we deceive ourselves into defining a rewarding life as self-gratification and “looking out for number one.” The prophets force us to be honest with ourselves and with God. We can heed their words or reap what we sow. May Scripture awaken us to return to a forgiving God and trusting Him with life and salvation.

Insight Forty-Four: Prophets Weren’t Crazy Men…Mostly

One of the themes in the academic study of the prophets is the ecstatic behavior of prophetic figures. Prophets fell into trances, convulsed, and participated in otherwise strange conduct. The idea stems in large part from ancient Near Eastern parallels that refer to such figures with a vocabulary similar or identical to that found in the Old Testament.

The notion might sound odd, but there is biblical precedent for it. For example, prior to becoming Israel’s first king, an episode in Saul’s life gives us some insight in 1 Samuel 10:9-11:

As Saul turned and started to leave, God gave him a new heart, and all Samuel’s signs were fulfilled that day. When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, they saw a group of prophets coming toward them. Then the Spirit of God came powerfully upon Saul, and he, too, began to prophesy. When those who knew Saul heard about it, they exclaimed, “What? Is even Saul a prophet? How did the son of Kish become a prophet?”

Elsewhere in the Old Testament, the coming of the Spirit on a person enabled superhuman strength, such as with Samson In Judges 14:6, 19. There was also special wisdom in Isaiah 11:2, and visions in Ezekiel 37. It was often associated with divine enablement for a specific task, like kingship 1 Samuel 16:13-14, and judgeship Judges 3:10; 6:34). The notion of ecstatic behavior, however, more clearly comes from the odd behavior of certain prophets.

Ezekiel is likely the most familiar example of strange prophetic conduct. God told Ezekiel to do several strange things. Ezekiel was told to draw a picture of the city of Jerusalem on a brick tablet and then smash it as a visual aid of how the city would be under siege in Ezekiel 4:1-3. God commanded him to lie on his left side for 390 days, and then forty more on his right side to symbolically commemorate Judah’s punishment in exile in Ezekiel 4:4-8. Ezekiel shaved his head with a sword, then after dividing the hair into three piles, burnt a third, hacked another third with the sword, and scattered the rest into the wind. This was another illustration of what would happen to Judah and its population. This story is found in Ezekiel 5:1-12. On yet another occasion, God told him to publicly dig through a wall and escape through it with the baggage of an exile in Ezekiel 12:1-12. If the themes of his behavior hadn’t been so disturbing, he’d have been a source of regular entertainment.

Ezekiel isn’t the norm, though. The prophecy was mostly about preaching, not unusual abilities to predict the future, or performing bizarre and symbolic acts. Some prophets did such things; some did not. In any regard, they were not mentally unbalanced. Whatever God told them to do, or when the Spirit came upon them, there was a point to it. God had a message, and that message needed to be taken seriously.

That will conclude this week’s lesson on another two insights from Dr. Heiser’s book “Mastering The Bible.” Next Worldview Wednesday, we will continue with two additional insights. I believe you will find each Worldview Wednesday an interesting topic to consider as we build our Biblical worldview.

Tomorrow we will continue with our 3-minute Humor nugget that will provide you with a bit of cheer, which will help you to lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life. So encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along with us tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’If you would like to listen to any of our past 1335 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com. I encourage you to subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on your favorite podcast player so that each day’s trek will be downloaded automatically.

A Grateful Thought – Wisdom Unplugged

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1335 of our Trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:

Today’s quote is from  Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, and it is:    A single grateful thought raised to heaven is the most perfect prayer. 

A Grateful Thought

Gratefulness is important, yes, very important. What are some of the reasons we do not express our gratitude more frequently? Are we too proud? Are we too selfish? Are we so wrapped up within ourselves that it doesn’t even come to mind? Until we realize that all that we have, including the very next breath that we take, comes from God, we will not be as grateful as we should be. James 1:16-18 puts it this way. So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.In other words, all that we have, or ever hope to be, comes from a gracious and loving God. When we acknowledge this, and thank God for it, then that becomes a most perfect prayer.  As we read in Psalm 50:14 Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High.

Once we get our vertical thanksgiving correct, that is between ourselves and God, then we can turn our gratitude horizontally. We should easily, freely, and often express our gratitude to our fellow humans. This gratitude needs to be both in word and in deed.Even if some days are difficult, and it is hard to be thankful, there is always someone or something in our lives to be grateful for. Especially on those dark days, instead of seeking someone to show kindness to you, turn the tables and show kindness to someone else. In doing so, you will soon realize that the blessings are returned to you, and be thankful. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus

Mastering the Bible – Ruth and Crucial Story-lines – Worldview Wednesday

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.

Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1331 of our trek, and it is Worldview Wednesday. Creating a Biblical worldview is important to have a proper perspective on today’s current events.

To establish a Biblical Worldview, you must also have a proper understanding of God and His Word. Our focus for the next several months on Worldview Wednesday is Mastering the Bible, through a series of brief insights. These insights are extracted from a book of the same title from one of today’s most prominent Hebrew Scholars, Dr. Micheal S. Heiser. This book is a collection of insights designed to help you understand the Bible better. When we let the Bible be what it is, we can understand it as the original readers did and as its writers intended. Each week we will explore two insights.

Mastering the Bible – Ruth and Crucial Story-lines

Insight Forty-One: The Book of Ruth Takes Place During the Days of the Judges

The period of the book of Judges was awful. The book runs through cycle after cycle of Israel’s spiritual failure, God’s punishment for their faithlessness by means of foreign oppressors, Israel’s desperate cries for deliverance, and God’s response in sending a judge. Sin, suffer, despair, deliverance, repeat.

One of the key things to observe in the book is that the oppressors of God’s people were foreigners—people to whom the land did not belong. At times God’s instrument of punishment for sin was a people group whom Israel was supposed to have driven from the land but didn’t. At other times, it was a people group from the outside. The point is this: the presence of foreigners meant bad things. They were unpopular.

This is the backdrop for the story of Ruth. The book opens with these statements from Ruth 1:1-4.

In the days when the judges ruled in Israel, a severe famine came upon the land. So a man from Bethlehem in Judah left his home and went to live in the country of Moab, taking his wife and two sons with him. The man’s name was Elimelech, and his wife was Naomi. Their two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in the land of Judah. And when they reached Moab, they settled there. Then Elimelech died, and Naomi was left with her two sons. The two sons married Moabite women. One married a woman named Orpah, and the other a woman named Ruth. 

Ruth was a Moabitess—a foreigner. The Moabites were Israel’s oppressors during the judgeship of Ehud (Judges 3). Israel suffered under the thumb of Eglon, the king of the Moabites, for eighteen years (Judges 3:12—14). To many in Israel, Ruth was a symbol of an enemy.

In view of this backdrop, the story of Ruth is truly remarkable. It stands to reason that no Israelite would have the slightest reason to help her. Instead, when the book’s ancient readers encountered the beginning of the book, they would have expected the people of God to make things harder for her. But Boaz was different. He was a living illustration of how Israel was to bless the foreign nations (Genesis 12:3).

Even more astonishing, Ruth was destined to become the great-grandmother of David (Ruth 4:17-20). Out of the harshest of circumstances—poverty and prejudice and deep-seated wounds of the past—God would raise up the ideal king, whose dynasty would produce the Messiah. If we miss the context of Ruth’s story, we miss its most dramatic points of impact.

Insight Forty-Two: In the Historical Books, a Person’s Tribe and Hometown Are Often Crucial Parts of the Story-line

One of the things Dr. Heiser tells people who want to become serious students of the Bible is that they should read the historical narratives in both testaments like they’re fiction. Yes, you heard that correctly—fiction. He doesn’t say that because he thinks they are fiction. He says that because of the way our minds work when we read fiction, as opposed to a textbook, for example. We instinctively know when reading a novel that a locale, a line, and even a word might pop up later in the story. We are alert to the fact that the author is doing things to direct our reading.

That’s precisely how we need to read the historical books. They aren’t textbooks. Israel’s history is presented to us as story, and the people who wrote the stories were clever storytellers. The problem is that the hints they drop to lead the reader in one direction or another are often lost on us because we live in another time and place.

One of the best examples is the offensive story of Judges 19, where a certain Levite allowed his concubine to be repeatedly sexually abused. The woman died from the incident, prompting the Levite to exact vengeance. But not until he’d dismembered the woman’s body. On the surface, the repulsive episode reminds us that in the time of the judges “everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 17:6; 21:25). But there’s more to it than that.

To catch the meaning, we need to recall that Judges was written centuries after its events – during the period after the days of Solomon when the kingdom split in two. The Levite in our story was from “the hill country of Ephraim” (Judges 19:1), which readers immediately associated with the heart of the apostate northern kingdom. The Levite is thus cast as a villain from the first verse. The concubine, on the other hand, was from Bethlehem of Judah (Judges 19:2), the town of David, the ideal king. The woman had run away to her home, and now the Levite had come to Bethlehem to bring her back (Judges 19:3-9).

On the way home, the Levite’s servant suggested they spend the night in Jebus, another name for Jerusalem, which would become the city of David (Judges 19:10). The Levite rejected the idea, since the city was under the control of foreigners, considered gentiles. Instead, they went to Gibeah (Judges. 19:12.). Gibeah was a city in the territory of Benjamin, the tribe of Saul, who was Israel’s first king and an enemy to David. It was in Gibeah that the horrible abuse occurred. The men of Gibeah—associated with Saul—are the rapists and killers. The Levite sends pieces of the woman to the rest of the tribes and demands revenge (Judges 19:29-30). The resulting incident that closes the book of Judges is that the tribe of Benjamin is nearly exterminated but is spared.

Ancient Israelite readers would see a victim associated with David suffering at the hands of people associated with Saul. The writer was prepping them for loyalty to David and his line. By the time they read the last line of the book in Judges 21:25, “In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.” The author of Judges had his readers right where he wanted them.

That will conclude this week’s lesson on another two insights from Dr. Heiser’s book “Mastering the Bible.” Next Worldview Wednesday, we will continue with two additional insights. I believe you will find each Worldview Wednesday an interesting topic to consider as we build our Biblical worldview.

Tomorrow we will continue with our 3-minute humor nugget that will provide you with a bit of cheer and help you to lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life. So encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along with us tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

The Bliss of Suffering – Wisdom Unplugged

Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1330 of our Trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:

Today’s quote is from  Leo Tolstoy, and it is:   A person who lives a spiritual life cannot help but see that suffering brings him closer to God. Seen in this light, suffering loses its bitter side and becomes bliss.

The Bliss of Suffering

First, at least as believers, we must realize that all life is spiritual life. There is no sacred and secular life, as if they were diametrically opposed. There is one life that we live which is a spiritual life. We, as humans, are created to be imagers of God in all that we do. We do have free will to choose. We can choose to be thankful for every circumstance of life, even when it entails suffering.  One of the purposes of suffering and hardship in life is to purify us and bring us closer to God who created us. Because of this, our perspective of hardships and suffering will change from one of discouragement, to one of bliss and thankfulness. If suffering and hardships refine us to be a better imager of God, to build His kingdom, and to bring honor and glory to His name, then we should be blissful for being chosen for such a privileged task.One who would understand and be able to empathize with us, was also a leader in the 1st-century church. He happened to be Jesus’s brother and knew Jesus from childhood. James did not believe in Jesus until after His death, burial, and resurrection, but he wrote a letter to the early church about this subject. James 1:2-4 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

So I also encourage you…consider it an opportunity for great joy, which is bliss.
