Counting the Omer-Selah75-CMAW172

Christian Men at Work Podcast

S I want to talk about Safety in the workplace-I work in manufacturing and it’s good to think about tactics and tools but it’s also good to think about the Why behind safety. I work in manufacturing and I’ve seen this Why of safety addressed in different ways and usually is a tug in our heart strings or playing in our sense of guilt but talking about how your family needs you to come home safe. I’d like to address the Why of Safety at a higher level, that safety is about maintaining and fostering Shalom which is the way God intended things to be in a fallen world. God doesn’t wants us injured. We can and should pray for supernatural intervention to keep us safe but we have a role play in this area of life as with all areas of life. So I try to think of acting safely similar to how I think of Gods law, not as something we have to do but something we want to do in order show our love to God and preserve Shalom. I also wanted to share that today is what is called Resurrection Sunday. While I join all Christians who celebrate the resurrection, I don't agree with the use of the name Easter, the dating system that's used to select the date each year, or many of the traditions that are a part of the average Easter celebration. The reason I don't agree and why I think this issue is important is that the name, the date and the traditions are all rooted in Pagan religions which are the same religions that God was so angry with in the Old Testament. These pagan religions are ultimately worshipping Satan. Rome merged aspects of the Christian beliefs with pagan beliefs and practices when they formed what became known as the Roman Catholic Church, and this included changing God's appointed Sabbath to day 1, Sunday, instead of day 7, abandoning most of the commandments and appointed times given by God, and creating man-made religious holidays rooted in paganism. If you'd like more information on the history of Easter, please check out the link in the show notes for a message from Ron at TruthUnedited.com Our church celebrated Passover this past Friday, April 15, which is Nissan 14 on the Hebrew Calendar. Today, April 17th, which is the morrow after the Sabbath we will begin counting the omer and will do so for 50 days leading up to Shavuot also known as Pentecost. We also began celebrating the Feast of Unleavened Bread on Nissan 15 beginning at Sunset this past Friday evening. We got red of leavened products in our house and will be eating leavened bread for the next 7 days. We do this because God told us to do this, and didn't tell us to stop doing this. There are commandments in the Torah which cannot be followed since there is no longer a temple, including the sacrificial system. Jesus was the fulfillment of that sacrificial system since he was the perfect sinless lamb that was sacrificed for us. However, I don't see a justification in the scripture for abandoning everything else God told us to do, his expectations for how we are to live and interact with Him, how we are to show that we love Him. I don't have all this figured out, but I'm trying to simply follow the Bible and not traditions of men, both of which we were told to do by Jesus. https://youtu.be/tKyDhv7U8Dc E But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
