Father, what do You want to teach us today through Your Word?
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 9 - It's a beautiful thing when God rolls back the reproach that we had been under because of a problem or struggle and we enter into a new era of our lives.

Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 6 - There are those mementos (whether physical or just memories) that remind us of times when God has moved in the past that we need to have to be able to get through the tough times. There are a couple things in my own life that I think of when I'm struggling with things not going the way I thought they would. They remind me: "God has come through before. God has been generous to you in the past."

Your Comments and Questions:
- Joshua 1. "In verses 5-9 are the comments meant just for Joshua or are they meant to apply to all of us Christians? It seems to be directed specifically to Joshua although it would be comforting to believe it applies to all of us today." - It's directly addressed to Joshua and his situation but there is a lot in those verses that easily apply to us today ("be strong," "I will never leave you," etc).
- A comment from one of our 60IN60 participants. Mark 7. "The early part of the chapter, besides appealing to my inner ten-year-old, makes me see, once again, Jesus as a realist—and a working-class man. Working people were not as strictly bound. For instance, in Jerusalem carpenters did not have to pause their work when a priest passed. Jesus gets to the heart of the commandments and thus to the heart of the true demands God makes for us. I have always thought of the Syro-Phoenician woman as troubling, and still do, but this time I thought of it within the context of Jesus’s response to the Pharisees. Yes, Jesus’s words are harsh, but the woman is there. No one has pushed her aside. She is one of many bossy women, including his mom, who get what they need by persisting. His words, though they acknowledge the class divide, also over-ride it. If she is faithless, she will listen to the first part, gripe and go away. But she has faith, her heart is in the right place and she has come to him because he is the only one who can help. Jesus’s almost offhand healing basically says it all. By baring her heart in faith, she has already achieved her goal."
It's Day 14 and we're in Joshua 2.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 10 - When people hear about a powerful move of God, it impacts them, even if they are not believers.
Help:
- Verses 3-5 - I understand why the lies were necessary and I understand that this is essentially a war-time situation, but it's still troubling that she lies in service of the spies. This is not something that I've come to a solid answer concerning.

It's Day 8 and we're in Mark 8.
A little reminder from James 1:22 - "Do not merely listen to the Word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says!"
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 2-3 - These people had such a hunger to hear what Jesus had to say. They were willing to go a great distance and go without eating for three days!
Help:
- Verses 16-21 - The "yeast" was the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. The disciples couldn't see past the physical in what Jesus was saying.
- Verses 22-26 - Why did Jesus heal the man in this unusual way? We don't know why He chose this particular way in this particular situation. As you look at the fact that Jesus healed in different ways in different situations, one reason was as a reminder to us that there is no one way that God moves in every situation. Depending on the circumstances and our needs the way that God moves varies.
- Verses 34-35 - "deny himself" - I need to put aside what I want to do and instead follow the teaching of Christ, believing that is the path to abundant life. "lose his life" - In pursuing this path, there will be times where we feel like we're losing things that matter deeply to us and that we're therefore "losing our life," but this is also part of the path to abundant life.

Help:
- Verse 27 - This is harsh. The larger context is that Jesus' specific mission was to the Jewish people. He was focused on trying to point them to God. In order to stay focused, you have to say "No" a lot.

Your Questions and Comments:
- Mark 5. "I’ve always wondered about this passage for a couple of reasons. 1. Why would Jesus cast the demons into the pigs- that was someone’s livelihood. 2. Did the demons drown with the pigs? Is that why he didn’t simply cast them out? Why would Jesus respond to their request?" - Good questions on a difficult passage. I don't feel like I have full answers that satisfy me on several details in this story, but I'll offer what I've got. First, why cast the demons into the pigs that were someone's livelihood? It does seem an odd thing to do. The one thought I have (and this doesn't fully satisfy me) is this. The pigs drown and those tending the pigs go to tell the town what happened. They all come out and see a miracle: a man they all knew to be demon possessed now in his right mind. What would be the right response to that? To praise God, to find out who had the power to perform that miracle, and then follow Him. But they didn't. They begged Jesus to go away. Part of the reason was fear of something they didn't understand and part of the reason was (this is the answer to your question) that they valued material prosperity more than spiritual breakthrough. The loss of the pigs does create a moment when these people emphatically choose the material over the spiritual. Second, did the demons drown with the pigs? No, they did not. They are spiritual beings. Before being sent into the pigs, they begged Jesus not to "send them out of the area" (v. 10). It's a little clearer in Luke's version of this story the larger thing the demons were afraid of. There the demons beg Jesus not to send them "into the abyss" (Luke 8:31). (This agrees with Mark because it's also out of the area but tells us more specifically where it would be.) This speaks to the demons being cast into hell, from which they would not be able to return. This tells us that the demons were aware of the power Jesus possessed over them. They are begging Him not to cast them into hell in this moment. Third, why would Jesus respond to their request? Why did Jesus grant their request? It is a bit of mystery to me. The closest I can get echoes an earlier point. Perhaps He allowed it because He wanted to create the moment when the true priorities of all these people would be revealed: material prosperity over spiritual victory. If that's the reason, He was using the demons to cause the result He wanted.
- A comment from one of our 60IN60 participants. Mark 5. "In regard to the little girl whom Christ raised from the dead: 'and they laughed at him.' Christ immediately puts the scoffers out of the room and proceeds to raise the dead. I'm sure the ones who scoffed, proceeded to marvel. So much for the opinion of man."
It's Day 5 and we're in Mark 5.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 31 - Not everyone receives the same thing when they come near Jesus. Those with great faith receive more.
Help:
- Verse 17 - Why would they want Jesus to leave? I think He scared them with the change in the man and I think He worried them with the destruction of the pigs. Some people would rather have their comfort than to encounter the real God.

- Verse 22 - I want all the truth I can get - bring it all out in the open. Lord, take away the false things that I've learned and hold onto and reveal the fullness of Your truth to me.
Help:
- Verse 12 - The way "otherwise they might" sounds at first reading, it makes you think it's saying, "I'm doing this because I don't want them to get saved." I think it actually should be read, "Otherwise they could turn and be forgiven!" The issue at the center is the hardness of their hearts, not God keeping them at arm's length.

Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 40 - "If you are willing" - I think a lot of people doubt whether God wants to help them. They've messed up too much or they've wandered too far, they think. And yet the truth is that God is always willing.
Help:
- Verses 17-20 - Because Mark tells stripped-down versions of these stories and moves through scenes quickly, this sounds like Jesus walks up to total strangers, tells them to follow Him, and they do it. We know from other gospels, though, that Jesus had talked to them before.

Your Questions and Comments:
- A comment from one of our 60IN60 participants: Acts 8. "I've always wondered if Simon the Magician accepted Christ. I know he gets a bad reputation here as he offered Simon Peter money for the gift of the Holy Spirit, but it should be pointed out that, until then, currency was all he knew. Surely he knew his spells were claptrap, for when he saw something he couldn't control or pretend to summon, he bargained in the only way he knew how. Also, after Peter curses him for such thoughts, he immediately asks Peter to pray for him. Did an acceptance of Christ follow?"

Your Questions and Comments:
- A comment from one of our 60IN60 participants. Exodus 33. "We are all going to gather on our porches and face toward your house, and we are going to expect something big to happen. I guess I understand this chapter, but it is amusing to imagine someone bragging, 'I have seen the backside of God.'”
- John 21. "The last few verses make no sense to me at all." - Verse 24 is oddly phrased because John likes to refer to himself without saying "I" or "me." Elsewhere he refers to himself as the "one Jesus loves." Basically verse 24 is John saying, "I wrote these words and my testimony is true." Verse 25 is an acknowledgement by John that he has just scratched the surface of all that he could have written. If he were somehow able to tell the full story of everyone that Jesus impacted, the world would be filled up by that many books.
- John 20. "This time, I found myself curious about John’s habit of not naming himself but referring to himself as the beloved disciple. Any ideas on his motivation?" - It is an odd way to phrase things. My guess is that because he was saying positive things about himself, like that he was the "one Jesus loved," that he found it less embarrassing to not use his name.
- A comment from a 60IN60 participant. John 18. "Jesus answered, 'I told you that I am He; so if you are seeking Me, let these men go on their way.' Four times Jesus tells the Romans and Pharisees, (who mostly make up the crowd), who he is. Once, so strongly, they fall back at his words. In his fourth declaration, Christ says (loose paraphrase) 'I’ve already told you who I am. I’m the one you came for, now let these men go.' Could it be that he is identifying himself repeatedly because Christ he knows that his disciples can’t endure what was to come? All but John would go on to be martyrs, but at this point, they are confused men. He is protecting them by his repeated declarations."
- John 15. "Could you say a few words about verse 7 please. Many times we pray for things— good prayers for other people, not selfish things—- yet they are not answered. Also in verses 16 and 17, there is much said about fruitfulness which I get, but then 17 speaks of loving one another. It seems disjointed and I don’t get the correlation. Is it saying that because we love our fellow man we should work to help them, be charitable and speak to them of salvation? Thank you." - 1. Verse 7. This is a great promise of answered prayer. It puts an important condition on answered prayer: if we remain in Him and He remains in us, which basically means if we are close to Him. (We get close to Him by obeying His commands - v. 10). This makes sense: if I am listening to Jesus' words and incorporating them into my life, I am going to ask for things that glorify God and that He is eager to answer. There are always situations where God's answer is delayed because of timing issues or because He has other plans, but the biggest point is that our default should be the expectation that God is eager to answer. This is something that is largely missing today, as we often pray without any real expectation of seeing an answer. One good way to think of this is that there are times when God doesn't answer our prayer for the good thing because He has a plan to give us a better thing. 2. Verses 16-17. These two verses are the conclusion of a section that begins with v. 12. Verse 16 teaches us that Jesus' goal for our lives (the reason He has chosen us) is so that we can go forward and live fruitful lives. Verse 17 is a reminder to love one another. Verse 17 ends the passage with the same instruction that v. 12 started it with: love each other. Think of it like a sandwich. The "bread" (vv. 12 and 17) tell us to love each other. The "meat" (vv. 13-16) tell us about the way that Jesus loved us. The connection is that when we see the instruction to "love each other" (vv. 12, 17) and wonder, "What exactly does it look like to do that?" we turn to Jesus' example (as detailed in vv. 13-16) to learn what that kind of sacrificial love looks like.

We finished at Exodus 20 a while back with the Ten Commandments. Now we finish up the story with the pathetic actions of Israel in response.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 6 - It's amazing how quickly they got off track. Why did that happen so quickly? Two things are key: 1. Israel, as seen by their whining in previous chapters, didn't have their hearts into following God, so they were eager to turn aside; 2. Aaron was not a mature leader (see verses 22-24).
Help:
- Verses 27-29 - This seems harsh, but apparently that severe a response was necessary to wake the people up to how bad what they were doing was.

- A comment from one of our 60IN60 participants. Exodus 20. "This is, to me, a very personal event. God speaks directly. Naturally most folks are wary, especially having come from a country where the priests determined what the gods said and what was the appropriate response. This is like Dad times a million. And his commands are not difficult, although through sin we make them so. It’s just one of those, 'Okay kids, I’m going to make it as easy as I can' moments. And yes, they want Moses to do the work, but then Moses has a pretty good track record with God, around that time, and they really don’t want to piss off the creator of the universe. I think it took them a while for the idea of individual prayer to kick in."

Your Questions and Comments:
- A comment from a 60IN60 participant: 2 Timothy1. "'Hold on to the example of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.' Just as Timothy heard from Paul, we must hold onto the scripture and study it. Many false doctrines are out in the world. Forget the Health, Wealth and Prosperity Theory — there’s the Replacement Theory, Liberation Theory on down to believing astrology and psychic hotlines are dangerous. Christians who don’t study are fair game."
- "Would you comment on Paul's personal 'entrusting' in verse 12 and his similar advice to Timothy in verse 14? Is this act of 'entrusting', with the aid of the Holy Spirit, applicable to all believers?" - Although the same word ("entrusting") is used in v. 12 and v. 14, there are two different actions discussed. First, in v. 12 it speaks of what Paul entrusted to God: "He [God] is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day." The "day" in question is the day of judgment. What Paul is saying here is that all the sacrifices he has made for Christ will receive their due reward. He is not worried about Christ failing to "hold onto" what he has earned or to properly reward him for his service to the Kingdom. So he does these things not receiving an immediate reward but he's not worried about it - he knows that God is able to "guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day." It won't be lost or misplaced or forgotten. He can trust Christ with all that. (A related example would be how most people don't get paid each day at their job. Instead they trust their employer to hold their money for two weeks and be faithful to honestly pay them their paycheck.) Second, in v. 14 it speaks of "the good deposit that was entrusted" to Timothy. That speaks to the truth of the gospel that has been given to Timothy to go and share with the world. Paul encourages Timothy to guard/protect/hold onto what has been given to him. Timothy is to do this "with the help of the Holy Spirit" (v. 14). So this is a call for Timothy to faithfully share what was handed to him by Paul. Preach the truth, share the gospel, don't water it down or change it. Third, are both these true for us as well? Most definitely. As we serve God we have to entrust our ultimate rewards to God and serve without immediate repayment. And we have been given a gospel that we need to faithfully preach without changing it.

Your Comments and Questions:
- Exodus 18 - "'thousands, hundreds, fifties, ten...' I always thought it interesting how Jethro instructed Moses to divide his judges. I'm assuming those who judged over thousands would have the less serious cases, like a lower court, deciding squabbles among neighbors or allotting grazing grounds. Am I correct or do I have this backwards?" - It's the opposite. The person with less authority would be judge over 10 people; the person with slightly more authority would be over 50 people and would presumably handle the more complicated cases that the "10 person" judge couldn't handle. That would continue all the way up to the judges over 1,000. The appeal from those judges would go to Moses. It all makes good administrative sense.
It's Day 42 and we're in Exodus 20.
Where God Spoke To Me:

Help:
- Verses 5-6 - The idea that the fathers' sin brings iniquity down three or four generations is hard to understand. The best way that I've come up with to grasp the idea is to think of it like this: I think of the statement less as God punishing and more as a statement of the way life works. When I live my life for something other than God, my kids are going to pick up on that and, very likely, are going to live lives that reflect what I've taught them. Therefore, my sinful life is going to reverberate down through multiple generations. Maybe not a perfect explanation, but the best one I've come up with so far.
