Episode 78: The Sermon on the Mount and Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur, of course, is when we as the worldwide people of God come corporately before him, humbling ourselves and repenting of our sins as a whole. I like to use the Beatitudes and the rest of the Sermon on the Mount when I look at the “State of the Body” year after year in terms of image-bearing and how we are either growing toward or backsliding away from what I call the “Kingdom norms” that set us apart from the “Kingdom of the Beast.” Last week, I talked very frankly about pornography and how I believe it is one of the invisible Marks that sets us aside as being allied with the oppression and perversion of the Beast Kingdom. This week we are going to talk about how we are doing with the Kingdom commandments in general. Are we all that and a bag of chips or are we representing the wrong kingdom entirely?
