In this episode, Dr. John explores Deuteronomy 7:12-15, where God promises blessings to Israel. He warns against the prosperity gospel, explaining that while wealth isn't wrong, it can lead to spiritual dangers. Dr. John emphasizes that God's blessings are a result of His grace, not human effort, and obedience positions us to receive His gifts.Living the Moral Law: A Guide for Every Generation: We begin a new series on Deuteronomy 5-11 entitled, "Living the Moral Law: A Guide for Every Generation." Before Israel entered the Promised Land, Moses reminded them of God's Covenant and instructed them to adhere to God's Law, which is absolute and perfect. The blessings of the land would only be fulfilled when Israel lived according to God's Word. The law does not supress life's joy; it releases it. It's a lesson for us today.
