The Truth Commission: Has Anything Like This Ever Happened?
In Deuteronomy 4:32–40 Moses convenes a “truth commission,” urging Israel (and us) to search all of history—from creation to the present—and ask two questions: Has any people ever heard the voice of God speaking from fire and lived? Has any god ever taken a nation for himself out of another nation by signs, wonders, and a mighty hand? The honest answer is a resounding no—only the Lord has done this at Sinai and in the Exodus. This same pattern continues…
Watch Yourselves Carefully: The “Gods” of Our Age and the Mercy of the True God
Moses warns a new generation that a nation rises or falls by the God it serves, for idolatry is not merely ancient history but the defining spiritual battle of every era. In our own day, sophisticated new gods—DEI, Climate Change, Expressive Individualism, Indigenous Spirituality, Multicultural Pluralism, and the Technocratic-Therapeutic State—quietly demand our ultimate allegiance, redefining sin, salvation, authority, and hope while displacing the true and living God.

Deuteronomy 4:5–8 reveals that true national greatness is not found in engineering marvels, military might, or material wealth, but in a people who honor God’s righteous law, draw near to him through the reconciling gospel of Jesus Christ, and commune with him in prayer and worship. When a nation keeps God’s statutes with heartfelt obedience, the watching world will marvel, exclaiming, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people,” because no other nation has a God so near…
The Only Way to Live and Die
In this sermon, guest preacher Dr. Joel Beeke challenges us to determine who we are truly living for. Are we living for Christ, or are we living for the things of this world?
