1 November 2021 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, I recently heard from a member of another denomination that there will be animal sacrifices in heaven or the new earth. I thought it was crazy, but there are verses to back up the idea, such as Zechariah 14. Weren’t Old Testament sacrifices supposed to point forward to […] Source: https://atoday.org/aunty-will-there-be-animal-sacrifices-in-heaven-or-the-new-earth/

Tuesday: Cleave to the Lord Your God
Thousands died in the sin with Baal Peor. “All the men who followed Baal Peor” were destroyed. However, many didn’t follow in the apostasy.
Who were they?
“But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day” (Deuteronomy 4:4). How does this text explain the difference between those who fell into sin and those who didn’t? What’s the important message for us here regarding sin and temptation and the power of God in our lives?

Notice the contrast between the word “all” in this verse and the verse before. “All” who followed after Baal Peor were destroyed; but “every one of you” who did cleave to the Lord was alive. There was no middle ground then, and there is none now, either. We’re either for or against Jesus (Matthew 12:30).
The Hebrew word for “did cleave,” dbq, often points to a strong commitment to adhere to something outside of oneself. The same Hebrew word root is used in Genesis 2:24, when a man shall leave his family and “cleave” unto his wife (see also Ruth 1:14). It, in this context, appeared four more times in Deuteronomy (Deuteronomy 10:20, Deuteronomy 11:22, Deuteronomy 13:4, Deuteronomy 30:20), and in each case the idea was the same: they, the people, were to cleave (cling) to their God. That is, they were to give themselves to Him and to draw power and strength from Him.
What’s important to remember is that the people themselves are the subject of the verb: they must do the cleaving. They must make the choice to “cleave” to God and then, in His power and strength, avoid falling into sin.
Read Jude 24 and 1 Corinthians 10:13. What is being said here in the New Testament that also is found in Deuteronomy 13:4?
God is faithful; God is able to keep us from falling. But we have to make the conscious choice, as did the faithful at Baal Peor, to cleave to God. If so, then we can be assured that, whatever the temptation, we can remain faithful.
| How do things like prayer, Bible study, worship, and fellowship help us cleave to the Lord? |
Amen!

6: For What Nation Is There So Great? – Teaching Plan
Key Thought: Israel got into trouble when they ignored certain aspects of the law, but also adding to it by bringing in practices not specified in the law.
November 6, 2021
1. Have a volunteer read Deuteronomy 4:1,2.
- Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
- Why did God give them the statutes and judgments right away?
- Personal Application: Even though we wouldn’t take someone’s clothes for surety for debt today, is there a principle that still applies to us? Share your thoughts.
- Case Study: One of your relatives states, “Weren’t the statutes and judgments part of the law and Moses that was nailed to the cros and not applicable to us today?” How would you respond to your friend?
2. Have a volunteer read Deuteronomy 4:4..
- Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
- Who were the “all” that were still alive before Moses that he referred to?
- Personal Application: What shows the difference between those who fell into sin, and those who didn’t? How can we keep ourselves in the right group? Share your thoughts
- Case Study: One of your friends states, “The New Testament says all Israel shall be saved. Does this mean all Jews shall be saved? All Christians will be saved? Or is this referring to something else?” How would you respond to your friend?
3. Have a volunteer read Deuteronomy 4:5-9.
- Ask class members to share a short thought on what the main idea of this text is.
- Why did the Lord say to Israel what He did here?
- Personal Application: Do you feel like God has given you a special calling? Share your thoughts.
- Case Study: One of your relatives states: “Do you think the Lord has blessed America because it has made its laws based on Biblical principles and the Ten Commandments? Can God continue to bless if we change or pervert or turn away from those principles?“ How would you respond to your relative?
4. Have a volunteer read Matthew 15:1-9.
- Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
- How does this connect to not adding to or subtracting from God’s statutes and judgments?
- Personal Application: How do we today add to or take away from the word and get stuck in traditions that lead us away from God’s commands? Share your thoughts.
- Case Study: Think of one person who needs to hear a message from this week’s lesson. Tell the class what you plan to do this week to share with them.
(Truth that is not lived, that is not imparted, loses its life-giving power, its healing virtue. Its blessings can be retained only as it is shared.”Ministry of Healing, p. 148).
